Thank you Tom for your video today it’s really helping me today it’s been two years since my dad died from a cancer and he died at 4:30 pm your videos have helped me cope with it
@@Blue_G_41swhat an insensitive thing to say. Losing a parent is something most people never forget. It may seem like people “get over” the grief but, in reality, they just learn to hide/cope with it. The grief is always there, bubbling right beneath the surface. It’s completely ok to grieve a parent for two years. I’ll agree that therapy can help but don’t act as if it’s unusual or not ok for someone to grieve a parent for an extended period of time.
Grief is like swimming in the ocean, for the most part you can bob up and down with the rhythm of the waves, but every once in a while a wave will catch you off guard and crash over your head, even when you know it’s coming. And that’s ok, as long as you remember that one rogue wave doesn’t last for ever, you’ll be ok, and over time, those rogue waves become less severe and less frequent until you are back to bobbing up and down with the rhythm of the ocean.
Best advice I had about dealing with grief came from the film Wind River. It describes how you must not run from the pain but embrace it. If you run from the pain aka thinking of your dad you risk losing all those memories of him. Once you take the pain you will allow yourself to visit him in your mind and remember all those wonderful times you had together. Take the pain!
Great to see an "everyday" video of moving/feeding/bedding cows. I love seeing your stock. Nice little Hereford there, among the black Angus. As you say, easy to spot and monitor.
Have you looked into DDGS that would come from a Brewery? After the brew, the mash is often dried and sold as cattle feed. During the brewing process, the barley gets heated with something called a Jet cooker, and then when it gets soaked as a mash, it partially sprouts, thus releasing its sugars for the fermenting yeast to eat. But the protein is left untouched, so the brewery often dries it to sell as feed.
barley is a good choice, we raise 3-4000 head a year, Old Guy suggestion of Brewery leavings is a good one as well. It's all about the marbling , Prices are up right now. We have to keep and eye on the herd, they keep getting pinched by rustlers
I both thinks & hopes you Do right on the farm! I love they ways you think of to take in the future folks! You are So positve, that you need to love it all! Love your spirit! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😊😊😊!
Gates are vital to successful animal farming. Having the proper Gates, positioned in the proper places and functioning properly, makes animal farming much easier and simpler. And if you want to gauge the success of a farm look at its boundary Gates. If they are in good condition and functioning correctly, the farm is successful. But if the boundary Gates are in poor condition or not functioning correctly, then the farm has problems.
Farm I used to work on years ago would get the hot draff to feed the cattle from the distillery After mashing and the cattle was mad for it dairy cattle too. In Scotland Draff would come from Old Pulteney Distillery.
Worked on a barley bull beef unit in the 80s finishing at 12 months about 410kg. DLwG about 1.5 kg at the end. Have to take care getting them onto ad lib. Not the best beef though. I always say beef needs birthdays, a couple of years grazing and housing to build flavour and texture
Thank you for another lovely video. I love your videos! You are so caring for your animals and managing them so carefully. It's lovely to see that your animals are so calm, well conditioned and happy with themselves! The Christmas tractor is so fun! And happy birthday to your dad!
With relation to the barley it's something to try with just the cost of the feed. Then later if you do see a change in the condition of the stock you could justify getting a new bin to save money on the treated barley. Grate video
Good evening from NZ. Just love your video's Tom. Hope your wife and baby are doing well.❤. Hello to the ' Ginger '. What a great head of hair he's got. Cheers from us over here.🙏🙏❤❤👏👏😊😊
well done team. Back to what we did, probably the same time as the story about the Aryshire beef. We rolled our own which was a lot of work. wise to alkali coat it otherwise the rats will queue up! so different nowadays as rats are not allowed, thankgoodnedss.
Great to see you trying Alkabarley on your farm Tom! Alkalised diets, when incorporated into a balanced diet, can help improve rumen pH and function, supporting performance and animal health. Alkagrain is a proven method of safely feeding higher levels of starch with home-grown cereals in diets for ruminants!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Interesting to hear how the barley can have different affects on the cows depending on if it’s cracked or not. I’ve also heard of feeding livestock sprouted barley as a substitute for hay. They say it’s great for cows, left me wondering what affect it would have vs what you are doing now. Wishing you and your family the best.
You pose an interesting question. I always thought the plural of Angus was Just Angus, not angus'es . Or should it be Anguy cattle. If the crushed barely doesn't produce desired weight look at earlage corn silage , ir steam rolled corn or wheat or barely. Steam rolling or flake has great ROI.
Hey Papa Tom. Happy Birthday Papa of Papa Tom !! Well, Papa Tom, still playing "King of the Mountain" in the shed ?? Gotta Be careful with your back. Hope Mama Pemberton and the little man are doing well.
We used to finish off our beef with straw and just poured molasses over it, they loved it, it bulked them out, and at the time it was a cheaper alternative for the extra cake needed to finish them off
Tom, have you heard of the new rings that are lidocaine-infused? LIDOBAND can be used on calves and I think it would be SO awesome if you could manage to talk to people that use them. I think it is such a game changer for farm animal welfare.
Interesting about the treatment of the barley. In my experience the risk of acidosis going straight onto Barley can be quite high. Untreated it’s obviously not as palatable as a feed with molasses in it. The risk is that one animal takes to it well before the others & gets too much.
Think the first job is bedding up for those beef animals. Why are they so dirty😳 Maybe worth bedding up with a few bales. Or clean out and start fresh. Ours eat outside on a concrete yard and walk back into the barn and don’t get that dirty even with the recent rainfall. Top video again though 👌🏻😊 Rolled barley looks ideal. I know a bucket full is 10kg 😂
Have any of the highland bulls made it to the shop yet. Or is it to soon yet. I know they take longer to finish. If so have the buyers been happy with it. I have heard they are better tasting because how they are fed. Thanks
Question Tom, what does the alkalai on the barley do? Does it kill the rats or does it make them think it's not food? I have no idea which cattle when where and why, but watching them move about was fun.
Tom- hows storing that batley go down with the farm assurance, red tractor scheme? I know theyre not likely to pass that from past experience, esp as its on here for all to see now?? Just asking??
Thank you Tom for your video today it’s really helping me today it’s been two years since my dad died from a cancer and he died at 4:30 pm your videos have helped me cope with it
I know they say everyone grieves different but after 2 years, if your still being strongly affected you need to speak to someone.

Bill the Beekeeper from East Texas. I love these videos! I don't understand a damn thing Tom or his dad is saying, but I love them anyway!🤣
When are u going to ollys to finish ur bucket brush???
Happy belated birthday, to dad.
It’s the little things Tom …….. cow kicks gate, ba ba baaaaaa 😂 top drawer editing. Appreciated sir 👏🏼
Good one Tom, the farm looks so large and modern. I was looking back when I first started watching you. So many changes everything looks so nice.
Happy late birthday to your dad 🎉🎊🥳
Cow's are looking great. Another great video. You get rain, we're getting snow this morning 😢
Great to see an "everyday" video of moving/feeding/bedding cows. I love seeing your stock. Nice little Hereford there, among the black Angus. As you say, easy to spot and monitor.

Hi Tom. I like how you’re always willing to change things up to improve you stock.
Have you looked into DDGS that would come from a Brewery? After the brew, the mash is often dried and sold as cattle feed. During the brewing process, the barley gets heated with something called a Jet cooker, and then when it gets soaked as a mash, it partially sprouts, thus releasing its sugars for the fermenting yeast to eat. But the protein is left untouched, so the brewery often dries it to sell as feed.
Draff is generally high in protein not starch as the starch is what they take out of it for distillation
Love watching your videos I use to work on a large dairy farm we use to milk 950 cows 3 times a day long days I so miss working on it now
barley is a good choice, we raise 3-4000 head a year, Old Guy suggestion of Brewery leavings is a good one as well. It's all about the marbling , Prices are up right now. We have to keep and eye on the herd, they keep getting pinched by rustlers
Another great video Happy Birthday to the Ginger Guy 50 again you are looking well keep up the GREAT WORK MEN AND LADIES 😁💯
Happy birthday to the Ginger Warrior, if I remember correctly! Hope you’re having a great Start to your New Year!

Happy belated birthday to the Ginger guy, he is a great man that's just full of knowledge. Could listen to him all day.❤❤❤❤
19:10 great content again

Happy belated birthday to your dad! He's just wonderful and cares so much about you and the farm!
We fatten all our cattle off of rolled barely and silage off our own farm every year
Thank you for another lovely video. I love your videos! You are so caring for your animals and managing them so carefully. It's lovely to see that your animals are so calm, well conditioned and happy with themselves!
The Christmas tractor is so fun! And happy birthday to your dad!
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊

Didn't realize u kept the old scraper tractor great to see it again

Wow! Feeding stock is quite a science. Seems to me you are quite a scientist, Tom. I’m impressed! 😮
It’s home and try it’s called 👍🏻👍🏻
Nigel is living his best life, keeping himself busy.
Next video he’s gone to slaughter 😂😂
@@tommurphy3544 Ooops, I haven't got a crystal ball.🤣
Love your videos, not only are they entertaining and informative, I always come away with more education. Thank you. ❤❤
Thank you
Loving the work, great insight into the farm and farming

You have great help sorting, I'm always on my own and it's a fecking nitemare. 😂😂 great videos from Fox's Sugarloaf Farm.
Happy birthday to your dad 🐮🐮 glad to see the cows doing well- also are you going LAMMA and what day video was great as usual 👍

Happy birthday the ginger ninja 🥳🎉
Happy Birthday Ginger man with mustache, how you have a great one sir.
Grass fed beef, butter and milk, always the best. Full of vitamin K2.
Hey Papa Tom. Happy Birthday Papa of Papa Tom !! Well, Papa Tom, still playing "King of the Mountain" in the shed ?? Gotta Be careful with your back. Hope Mama Pemberton and the little man are doing well.
Musical cows/livestock. And you never thought those preschool games of musical chairs would come in handy in adulthood. 😊
We used to finish off our beef with straw and just poured molasses over it, they loved it, it bulked them out, and at the time it was a cheaper alternative for the extra cake needed to finish them off
No that was the dry suckler
cows that were having the straw molasses.
The fattening cattle were in a different shed being fed a TMR
Tom, have you heard of the new rings that are lidocaine-infused? LIDOBAND can be used on calves and I think it would be SO awesome if you could manage to talk to people that use them. I think it is such a game changer for farm animal welfare.
Do you ever see the farm growing barley, as you would have straw as well. You could even grow stubble turnips after, then spring barley after.
Happy belated birthday to your dad . Farm looks good
Evening Tom
My 3th tooth came out because of your videos😁😀😁😀😁😀🤗🤗🤗
Always trying something new
Happy birthday Dad
Thanks for the video Tom. ✌️💚🖖
hitting the gate, the old 'damage fairies'.
i always find it funny how the cows look at you when you're talking to the camera, like they're listening in 😅
I youst love the "game" betwinn you & your father, if you understand me!? Best to both of you two! From Peter Eriksson Sweden Europe 😊😊😊!

So many questions but I feel they are too personal to ask.. great work as always
Great very and very interesting 👍
Cows are looking great! How is the one doing that had 1/2 hoof amputated? Excited for spring release. Love and prayers 😇💜
Hey tom, i love your videos When i grow op i Want to be A farmer so your videos help me😊

Totally agree about the cleaning out and bedding up!
Its called Home n dry pal
Have any of the highland bulls made it to the shop yet. Or is it to soon yet. I know they take longer to finish. If so have the buyers been happy with it. I have heard they are better tasting because how they are fed. Thanks
Did you ever feed sugar beet they put on mighty weight with it
The barleys home n dry
Love the videos
Happy belated birthday to the Ginger Warrior! 🎂 First one with Harvey! ❤ Always love seeing and hearing the cows🐄🐄🐄❤️🙏🏼😎👋🏻🇨🇦
Didn't realise too much barley was lethal for cows, you channel is very educational especially for us townies. 👍
Eating too much of anything is lethal.
Barely expands in the stomach, gasses them up, called bloating. Not good if left untreated..
Ahhh amazing i can learn ☺️ yeah to much is not good at all
55th! GOOD TUESDAY MORNING TOM,LUKE,HIEDI, THE GINGER WARRIOR WITH A MUSTACHE. Roger in Pierre South Dakota USA
Hi Tom are u going to lamma I’m going weds would be awesome to see u and have a picture with you 😊
I’m going Wednesday 🙌☺️
Will definitely try to look out for you been watching you for years now!! As said would be awesome to get a quick pic with you 😊🤘
Morning!
Your dads got the same birthday as me
Who hit the post... it was the dreaded GHOST TRACTOR! It drives itself around after you leave.
Tom is love your vids so much keep up the good work ❤
That looks like it's from E Taylors, I used to drive for them before Kenyons took over
I never feed 100% barley, always 50/50 with corn
We have our finishing cattle on 6kgs for the last 80-100 days
Question: why are there no collars on the beef cows? Would they benefit from collars? Thank you Tom
Farmer Phil in Ireland feeds his bulls on rolled Barley to grow them up :)
Happy new year
Great video Tom 👏👏👍👍
Question Tom, what does the alkalai on the barley do? Does it kill the rats or does it make them think it's not food? I have no idea which cattle when where and why, but watching them move about was fun.
Tom, can you tell me the artists name for the music here? I really liked those songs!
Love watching you work the farm!
Brilliant my brother 💙🤝🏻
Enjoyed,as usual,are you fattening them up to sell at market,just to see how you get on? Big Nige is in for a treat then llf
Tom- hows storing that batley go down with the farm assurance, red tractor scheme? I know theyre not likely to pass that from past experience, esp as its on here for all to see now?? Just asking??
How you liking the new case can you do a full review on it
I'd cover that feed with plastic, even if it has an anti pest stuff in it...
Your dad has the same birthday as mine!
Would you think about getting automatic scrapers for the sheds in the future ?
How do you keep an eye on inbreeding?
Big changes that you have made over time.
Greetings from Oman.
Where did Hereford come from
