This is the first video that I’ve seen Tom not in a happy mood as you can see he loves his cows and you can see the worry on his face. What a great farmer “long live Pemberton Farm”
It’s so cute how the other cows seem to care if the one that was in the ditch was ok 😊 l noticed cows seem to do that a lot, just like elephants do. Awe! 💖
I can understand your anger and your dads frustration,you consideration for you cows well-being and your dads knees shows what a nice guy you are.keep the videos coming and Happy Farming
Excellent piece of kit to clamp on to the hips, years ago we would have cattle in the river and a hell of a job trying to get a sling around the gut, this made it look eas(ier)
This video shows how much you care for your animals, and the ginger guy.... and how passionate you are about the health of the farm. Love it, keep up the good work.
@@MrPete81 - Yep. Probably wondering where the Hoof GP was! Dairy cows spend a lot of time being penned, shut behind gates, pushed into stalls, squeezed between rails, and so on, so she knew something was going to happen. Outdoor milking, maybe? On a more sombre note, cows that are used to being moved and poked and prodded are also less stressed when they wind up at the slaughterhouse (and they all do). Different smells but similar handling, so they stay fairly quiet right up until the final 💥.
@@EleanorPeterson While your "sombre note" is sombre, it's also a peaceful thought. As a carnivore who loves cheese (can't drink milk), I feel a level of responsibility for the animals whose lives are sacrificed for mine. All anyone who understands life and death can wish for is a happy life and a swift end when that time comes. But to an animal, life is more in the "now" than it is for human beings. Are they happy, now? And the best life we can give livestock is to provide for their needs, keep them happy and content, and when that end date comes, if they are peaceful and unstressed they will have had a most ideal life. I know a lot of folks think that the way livestock is kept is horrific because it's "not natural" and they call it abusive, but really, in the end, I think animals adapt to domestication because they don't have to deal with the stressors that your average prey animal has to put up with. They aren't hunted by a pack of carnivores, they don't watch their companions crying while a wolf is literally gnawing on their innards, they don't have to put with parasites and disease and difficulty calving without help. They don't face privation when there is a drought.
She probably was a bit tired and had given up on getting back to pasture. Cows that trust their farmers know that they are helping and she is used to being handled so she didn't even have any reason not to fight back either. You can see from those animals that they are well kept and cared for.
So happy that you saw the cow in time. The way she looked in the air - the face was priceless. The ditches should be maintained better. I know in the US at least where we are - there is a drainage ditch that snakes through the land around us. The farmer who rents the fields maintains the ditches and went through a year or two ago and cleared it out very well to help the new drainage tile going in. The county government is responsible for some of the clearing and you can tell who keeps ups with their part of the land. Tell us who to contact and we can can make voices heard. Farmers and friends of farmers need to stick together
I'm so glad your cow was okay! I have to admit, I was truly afraid she had been hurt going into the ditch, and that she had died. When I saw her kick... the whole doctor's office (where I'm watching this while waiting, lol) saw me gasp and clutch my imaginary pearls! Yay for yon wee cow! Give her a special pat when you see her at milking, Tom. She's an adventurous cow, but also, she's a tough old girl, and she made me very, very happy today. 🥰🤪
Tom and his father did very well to keep the temper under control during this video. I don't think I would have been so calm and collected. Well do lads 👍
A few weeks ago here in Colorado we had flash flooding. Our daughter and her husband are ranchers. Her milk cow went too close to the bank after the flooding and it caved off with her. The cow survived for almost a week afterwards but she wouldn’t stay standing or get up herself and between them and the vet they had exhausted all of the things they could do and had to put her down. 😪💔
River agency in our area fenced the river along our land and planted trees. After a few years a storm came and blew quite a few of the trees down smashing the fences. Complete mess. We told them not to plant trees but never listened. Still fighting to get them to repair the fences.
Good vid and amazed how you's lifted the cow ..and she was ok ..lucky ..anyhow any funny bloopers you can leave in for a laugh .. keep up the good work and the ginger fellas great ..
I am so pleased you saved that Cow. You need to get intouch with the Enviroment agency every week or couple of days until they do something. Tom, you need to pester the buggers.
Great video once again Tom. Love your passion and commitment to your animals and you calmness in dealing with a difficult situation even though you were extremely annoyed.
Dairy farming is always interesting always something to keep you on your toes goes to prove how precious life is hope she is still holds to her service
I can hear the frustration in your voice Tom. No need to hold back... it's not like they're going to take something from you. They already have and then some.
She was very fortunate that you spotted her down in there. Except for the white on her back, she would be nearly invisible in the shade of the reeds. The clamp across the pelvis looked like it would hurt like hell, but it did the job of securing her for lifting. I've never seen a contraption like it before. I guess slings wouldn't work because you'd never get them under her belly in that mud.
Well done Tom on spotting the cow in the ditch, like you said Tom, what if you hadn’t seen her, never seen a lifting bracket like that before, I take it it just clamps on to the cows hip bone, Great channel, 👍👍👍👍👍.
I’m interested in these land problems. I would love to hear more about the drainage issue, especially the meeting you guys had. Love your channel! This is one of the channels that I never miss a video. You guys are awesome!
This is unbelievable. The responsible people should answer for this. There is a price for neglecting infrastructure. Please follow up on her so we see her normal walk. Thank you for sharing and for your sharp eye.🐄
Hi Tom, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. I love watching your videos. Im so glad you got the cow out of the ditch, I used to work on a farm and I often had to pull cows and calf’s out of ditches when they calfed in the field. Unfortunately many times I didn’t get there in time and it extremely hard for my 16 yr old self to cope with.
Sorry about your Cal Tom Yahoo's ever responsible for that should take care of that well I hope you have a great day my friend tell your father I wish him well and you as well God bless and have a great day🙏🚜
Lining the stream with gabions would likely be the real solution. Costly for them. But, a long lasting fix. If you have any left over big hardcore, you can even offer to fill some of the gabions for them which is the expensive bit.
It the same here in the states. We pay specific taxes for ditching and there is zero maintenance preformed. My property floods every year and I get no relief but they get their blood money you can count on that!
Glad the cow is ok and it is madding that they don't fix the fence to keep your cows safe, I am sure we could start a potion on line for them to fix the ditch and with all of your followers you would have heaps of support. How's the building coming along I would like to see more of that and the cows. Cheers by the way I live in Adelaide, South Australia. And love your show not the harvesting so much but love everything eles
Loved the rescue, curious cow friends, the pack greeting, and cow chorus celebration of a job well done! Interesting vlog though and good to get a clue on how that government 'meeting' awhile back went. Reading between the lines, sounds like the government gave you a threat to 'cease & desist' with threats of interference in all the farm improvements and licensing. Pemberton's have been very compliant to their credit! The government showing progress--to be expected, nothing. Looks like Great Britain is dealing with the same problem we are in the US. INFRASTRUCTURE! Time to remodel and save the land!
Commented twice saying how these videos are so nice to keep me awake while doing midnight kitten feeds. No kittens tonight, just insomnia 😅😅 thanks again from the other side of the pond Tom. So far none of my colleagues have the super sick, critical neonates I specialise in trying to keep alive so I get a few weeks break.
Can clearly tell that you are annoyed and frustrated ... the northern accent comes out !! Right Lancashire one that ... Glad to see the cow's ok and walked off with the herd.
Great team work guys. I think you should give out the details of where people need to send their concerns to in order to inundate them with complaints and maybe that will have some effect.👍
That was the most efficient rescue operation i have ever seen! Bravo!!!! It's horrible that you had to do it though for lack of someone else not doing their job! Bring this video to the council and light a fire under their asses!
WOW!! I have never heard Tom take that tone before. How sad that this is allowed to happen. It is eye opening that the possibility of you loosing over 2000 pounds in one cow because they aren't doing routine maintenance. Just think, if this was running through a development and a child could fall in, or a senior, this is no different. So glad that the cow was okay. Even more glad that Tom was there to spare the Ginger Warrior from having to climb in and out of the ditch. Thanks for sharing the not always happy realities. As always it is educational.
Glad to see the lady got out ok, just had a moment where I thought she was going to jump back over the fence! Unfortunately the phrase 'prevention is better than cure' doesn't ring out as loud as it used to. Not just agriculture, I see it elsewhere rather react to something rather than prevent it. Long term short sightedness, spend to save??
Wondering how best fix it...steel or concrete side costly and then you’ve got a dirty great drop inter water. Would a spoon drain work? Gradual slope with trees give grazing to waters edge? I’m full of it I am
I always heard with those cow lifts comes with pain, did she get anything for her pain? She was walking though a little stiff. Can you do an update on her please and thank you! Not a cattleman just repeating what I heard. I’m from the confused USA.
I'm sure it wasn't the most comfortable procedure for her but better than dying in a ditch. I'd imagine her stiffness is mostly from the exhaustion and being trapped . Poor girl.
This kind of thing is so frustrating! I have cows, but don't have to fight ditches, though my grandfather did. He fought the same battles you are. Glad it turned out well.
I don't want to be too critical Tom, but it's 100% your responsibility to have your cows properly fenced in. EA have nothing to do with that. The fence looked a bit shook in a few spots. Now, about losing land to an ever widening waterway due to lack of upkeep of the ditch, that's an argument I would be on your side in.
Tom, I love the way you talked about how important the cow was, and considered your dad’s knees! Love your videos!
@BA Pike he puts my faith back in the youth of today!
Well, it is a milk farm?
It's because he's a lovely bloke

Cows are just curious and want to see what’s going on.
Nothing more nosey than cows 🤣🤣
Now you have proof to show them the next time you go to a meeting. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad your cow is OK. Have a nice safe day!!

There’s never a dull moment in farming Tom. The ginger guy is very passionate for what he believes in
Paper work
no matter how ignorant he is he stands by his beliefs.

Poor girl, glad you found her in time. X
I'm amazed at how calm that cow was while she was being pulled out from the ditch
She knows she's being looked after x

On a more sombre note, cows that are used to being moved and poked and prodded are also less stressed when they wind up at the slaughterhouse (and they all do). Different smells but similar handling, so they stay fairly quiet right up until the final 💥.

I love the way her friends came to welcome her back
So happy you saw her and she’s okay. They really need to do something about those ditches!
Great rescue job!
Just watched the cow rescue, i just love your care and love for your animals, just hope environment agency were watching.
I love how the other cows comes and checks if she is allright 😍

It's nice to see you looking after your cows done good job with her .
Feeling badly for you and your Dad, that this has been a constant battle for the past 25 years. So happy momma wasn’t hurt (you too Tom).
Awe thank god you spotted her well done 👍🏼
River agency in our area fenced the river along our land and planted trees. After a few years a storm came and blew quite a few of the trees down smashing the fences. Complete mess. We told them not to plant trees but never listened. Still fighting to get them to repair the fences.
I’m so glad that you were in the right place at the right time! She’s a beauty!
Moving the cow reminded me of the first jurassic park. "Time to feed the raptors"
Had the same thought….
Hahaha Classic XD
I guess it's just me,..I feel tender hearted seeing the cows standing around and watching their friend.
They care. They heard distress.
Good vid and amazed how you's lifted the cow ..and she was ok ..lucky ..anyhow any funny bloopers you can leave in for a laugh .. keep up the good work and the ginger fellas great ..
I am so pleased you saved that Cow. You need to get intouch with the Enviroment agency every week or couple of days until they do something. Tom, you need to pester the buggers.
Hey I love you're videos they teach me how to do things and learn and I love everything you do
learn all you can. You might need to raise your own cows to survive someday.
@@mjb12141963 thank you and me and my brother already do
Great video tom! Always keeping us in the action and learn so many new things. All the best bud! 👍
Just love the way you guys love your work, it's amazing to see
Gosh your cow was so quiet and calm. The clamps worked beautifully too. BTW great use of social media for the drain issue. Perfect.
Great video once again Tom. Love your passion and commitment to your animals and you calmness in dealing with a difficult situation even though you were extremely annoyed.
I came over to the farm shop last weekend and had a lovely chat with your father about the Highland cattle (Kate and Meghan).
So glad you found her in time, and got her out without injury.
Dairy farming is always interesting always something to keep you on your toes goes to prove how precious life is hope she is still holds to her service
See you Friday Tom, coming visit your farm shop. 👍
I can hear the frustration in your voice Tom. No need to hold back... it's not like they're going to take something from you. They already have and then some.
Glad you spotted her & got her out alive 🙏.
well done lads, great to get the lady out and no injury to her.
Brilliant video Tom, thank you 👍
She was very fortunate that you spotted her down in there. Except for the white on her back, she would be nearly invisible in the shade of the reeds. The clamp across the pelvis looked like it would hurt like hell, but it did the job of securing her for lifting. I've never seen a contraption like it before. I guess slings wouldn't work because you'd never get them under her belly in that mud.
I’ve had to used clamps similar to yours many times to get cows on their feet. Most of the time we had to use a hand winch though. Good job
Wow that was hard to watch, but you are a great farmer who always puts his livestock first. That was some rescue and I’m glad you both got her out ok
Loved how other cows went and checked on her ❤️
Tom you and your dad are awesome
Big respect to you and your dad Tom glad you spotted her. It's the same my way nothing gets maintain. Good work love the videos 👍
I'm glad the cow is ok, a little dirty but fine. the other cows were thankful that you saved one of theirs.
Great work by both of you and good luck with your council

And the cow flew over the....fence! Great action editing at the start. Glad the cow was safe.
This is unbelievable. The responsible people should answer for this. There is a price for neglecting infrastructure. Please follow up on her so we see her normal walk. Thank you for sharing and for your sharp eye.🐄
Well done for showing this as not many see this and how it work and think it hurt the cow when it doesn't if done right
What a fantastic but simple contraption that is, wish I d had one many times when trying to get down cows up after difficult calving etc👍great job
Cow friends are all "What the hell happened?" Ditch cow: "I don't want to talk about it."
Hi Tom, I’ve been watching your channel for a while now. I love watching your videos.

Glad she's okay! Would love an update on her in the next video.

Lining the stream with gabions would likely be the real solution. Costly for them. But, a long lasting fix. If you have any left over big hardcore, you can even offer to fill some of the gabions for them which is the expensive bit.
So glad she walked off! Most government agencies dont care a bit about the common people, just themselves. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🐄🐄🐄🐄
Good save, thanks.
That ditch looks very fishable!! The EA just are not bothered, still waiting after 20yrs for them to dredge the local drain in hull.
I totally agree time to take control
That cow gripper hip clamp is great. Never seen out like that
You and your dad are very patient people I would have said stuff them and fixed the ditches myself.
You're a great Father & Son duo!
It the same here in the states. We pay specific taxes for ditching and there is zero maintenance preformed. My property floods every year and I get no relief but they get their blood money you can count on that!
Your concern for that shows your true character sir. And the fact that the waterway management doesn't do their job is deplorable
Great video tom, glad you got her out.
Whatever happened with the seawall issue? Loving the farm development
Props still there
Love your farm and cows!❤️🇺🇸
Hi tom i know what it like we had a cow do that before and now she is fine it good you got her out with out any problems
Glad the cow is ok and it is madding that they don't fix the fence to keep your cows safe, I am sure we could start a potion on line for them to fix the ditch and with all of your followers you would have heaps of support.
How's the building coming along I would like to see more of that and the cows.
Cheers by the way I live in Adelaide, South Australia. And love your show not the harvesting so much but love everything eles
Poor girl. Hope that she is still Ok. Send the people responsible for the maintenance a copy of this video. Great job by you both. 🐄
Oh dear.Thought for a while she was going to walk back in again.Good result.
Loved the rescue, curious cow friends, the pack greeting, and cow chorus celebration of a job well done!

Another great video Tom... I remember one of our cows stuck in the water trough, sadly not such a positive outcome.
So glad she is OK. It could have been tragic😣
Glad to see the lady got out ok, just had a moment where I thought she was going to jump back over the fence! Unfortunately the phrase 'prevention is better than cure' doesn't ring out as loud as it used to. Not just agriculture, I see it elsewhere rather react to something rather than prevent it.

Wondering how best fix it...steel or concrete side costly and then you’ve got a dirty great drop inter water. Would a spoon drain work? Gradual slope with trees give grazing to waters edge? I’m full of it I am
That was really interesting to watch even though I've never heard you guys so annoyed (with good reason).
Thank God you saw her when passingTom!, great video mate 👍🏻
Drove past neighbor's beef cows a few weeks ago. We didn't have the same luck😢
😥😪🙏
That's such a shame
Is there anything you can plant to make the foundation stronger when it floods?
I always heard with those cow lifts comes with pain, did she get anything for her pain? She was walking though a little stiff. Can you do an update on her please and thank you!
Not a cattleman just repeating what I heard. I’m from the confused USA.
I'm sure it wasn't the most comfortable procedure for her but better than dying in a ditch.
I'd imagine her stiffness is mostly from the exhaustion and being trapped . Poor girl.
