    What lovely girls Adrian, and how fab that they want to help you on the family farm. What a help they are, let alone the company for you! Can see how proud you are, and so you should be!
    Thank you ladies for being on Dad's "show"😊

    Adrian this is one of the best pieces of content I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. I eagerly await Sunday’s now to sit and enjoy your endeavours but this one was outstanding. Your girls are so competent and obviously devoted to their family and trade it made me feel emotional watching you all today. Thank you 🙏

      In an age where most young people believe that they are entitled to be given everything. Teaching your children to be hard working and responsible are the blueprints for life. That’s why I enjoyed this episode so much and I share in your pride. I used to drag my son to work with me sometimes to do electrical work. Today he’s an architect in Canada and built his own home and he thanked me for giving him the skills that he thought useless at the time. It’s such a rewarding experience and you and your children will know what it takes to get on 🙏

    As a father of two girls myself I can see how proud you are of your wonderful girls and what it means to you to spend quality time with them. Alas my girls are now in their 50's and I don't see them as often these days so what time I do have with them is more precious than ever. They have busy lives and their children are all grown too. My eldest granddaughter a foreign language teacher is currently out in Australia, my grandson recently returned from a year in Australia were he met his Irish girlfriend, earlier this year they both travelled the USA to work on a summer camp and travelled around the US and Canada. My youngest two granddaughters are at Uni and my other granddaughter is busy working in childcare. So I don't see much of them either nowadays. The real gift in life is having a family, you and Sinead are well blessed Adrian.

    Adrian I always enjoy your videos, but I must admit this for me has been one of your best, to see how much the girls do both for and with you was amazing perhaps a further glimpse into you private/ profession life and I thank you for that.
    I also thank the girls for allowing themselves to be shown on camera working, it really was amazing to see how a family dairy farm operates.
    Stay safe everybody, I hope your hangovers aren’t bad and Nicole was happy with how her solo milking session went.

The love you have for your family is so heart felt. Amazing young ladies, and a wonderful wife. I agree you have it all, BUT I don't know another family who works as hard, you deserve everything good that life can bring.

    I often think of your family Sinead and Adrian, having the children lend a hand is so encouraging to see. I am fairly sure your children have a wonderful idylic life. So many children will never experience anything close to life on a farm, two loving parents and a safe supportive home. I know nobody's family is perfect, but thank you for sharing these positive times, it makes me feels happy and I am sure other people too.

  • @MCMilkingIt
    @MCMilkingIt Місяць тому

    A few things we do differently that have helped with our success using selective.
    1. Trim the tails to reduce dirt around the udder.
    2. 1 wipe per teat. Use cotton pads (the ones girls use to take off make-up) with methylated spirits.
    3. Put on multiple gloves at the start so if you want to change, you only have to take one off. And use those shitting wipes that come with the sealer to clean your gloves between cows.
    You'll have to move towards selective but for it to be successful I'd say the hygiene needs to be higher

    Best video for a long time. I was born on a Westmeath beef cattle farm and left it about 1959/60, so I often have to explain to urban wife and family what farming is about. I'm marking this on as compulsory viewing in this family.

    I’m in my late 40’s stopped dairy farming in my early to mid 20’s. I now work for myself in property and Engineering any most my construction skills, from plumbing, to electrical, to block work etc. have their foundations from growing up in farming. You learn a little bit of everything. Your kids may not know it yet but it is the best upbringing anyone can have. It was also (to this day) the best job I’ve ever had! Great video as always 👍

    Happy Birthday, Adrian! Watching you get things set up for milking was very interesting for me. There is a lot that goes on at the farm and you don't realize it when you just get your milk from the store. It must make you very proud to have Nicole help out with the milking. You had the grin of a proud Papa! Good job Nicole! You joke about Sophia being the automatic gate opener. When I was a small lad, it was before remote control on TV's. It was before color TV too. I was my dad's remote control for the TV. He'd say, "Change the channel to 2", and I'd change it to 2. Fun stuff. Looks like the new washing hose is working out well too. Good to see the girls helping out. I thought they were shy to be on camera.

    When you or the girls are walking on the milking room floor it looks like you're walking on the ocean water. Pretty blue. Although I'm sure you never thought of it when you put it down.
    Very late posting on here. Milton hit us hard. Besides 100 mph winds we had a tornado too. Couldn't use the generator because of the 12 trees resting on the workshop roof and the car and truck. Total loss there but my house is still standing and I have power and water again.
