To the entire Stewart Family, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Uncle Ian. I, and I believe many others like me, who will never meet you in real life, was a big fan of Ian. He came across as a very interesting man, a man who could do anything with his hands, a man with a deep visceral knowledge of all things farming, but also a humble gentleman. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in real life, but I am not ashamed to say, as a grown man, I am typing this through some tears. He will be missed. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
So!!! We look forward to your videos every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday! We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Uncle Ian and your Dad's brother! We look forward to seeing videos of the 1200 restoration in the honour of Uncle Ian! We are really sorry for your loss! Rip Uncle Ian! Dx
Sorry for your loss Stewart family . We sharpened the ring on the end of the dehorner a couple of seconds each side straight in no movement side to side...job done
There's many smells in farming that would never leave you for good reasons but the smell of dehorning calves is one of the ones you wouldn't be quiet as nostalgic about 😅
Great video Phil and Liv. Regarding your beef cattle, you are losing money going to a factory with them. In the present climate and with online bidding you would absolutely get on better in a mart.
So, another interesting video, saw this job done with the electric Dehorner, no calf crate and the bug digging out method… your way of doing it is better.
So that was freaky. I messaged you the other week asking about the horns on your cows and now there is a video with all the answers. So am really happy so I will like this video 😂 hope that’s enough so’s
When I was a kid I would help one of my neighbors use an electric iron horn tool and burn the little horns on the young goats, I don't think it traumatized them it was the smell that traumatized me I couldn't spit that nasty burnt hair taste away, it was awful. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida 🌞
Hi Phil, the past few years as we've been buying calves to rear we find if you dehorn them at 3/4 weeks old it hardly affects them and within a few hours later they are very lively again. As long as there's a bud showing we find it works well. The numbing injection is a great help if they are that bit older
You take great care with the calf’s it’s so wonderful.Your the best Farmers Phil and liv and Father Phil best in the world 🌎.We have our viewing sorted out for the evening.Good luck 🍀 🍀🍀☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪
I was told at agriculture college, that you should draw syringe back to make sure you don't draw blood. Cos if you inject the anaesthetic into bloodstream you would kill the calf straight away!!
Get the sleep injection from your vet and give each calf a jag in the hip and wait till they fall asleep. Then give them their anaesthetic, trim the hair afterwards and then start the dehorning. Leave the pen and they will wake up not knowing what had happened. Zero stress.
Same method we've used ourselves for as long as I can remember, we've never scooped the bud. Invest in a good crate like the one in this video, it's expensive but will more than pay for itself over the years. We check any calves on a weekly basis and once their bud is at an appropriate height that is when we disbud them. We go 10 seconds each side in a circular motion. Always check them after 6-8 weeks but we've never had any regrowth. To feel their heads come July you'd think they never had horns at all, as smooth as could be to the touch. A tip for anyone who's drawing near fly weather is if the scab is starting to lift but fly is irritating them use a bit of sudocream or unfragrenced moisturiser to help with the lifting of the scab.
Interesting about not scooping out the horn bud. I was always told the entire horn had to be burned out. I'd always say dehorning around 2-4 weeks old as the calf is too young to remember it. Had done larger cattle with wire before and it was a disaster. Personally I prefer to have the horns removed as had bad experience with a bullock breaking a horn off in the feeding gate a few years ago.
Do you not find the cattle with horns in the shed can be a bit shy putting their heads out at times due to slightly hurting themselves when pulling heads back out of the barriers as another animal bullied their way in .. I stopped buying weanlings with horns on them due to the fact at least once a week the shed would be covered in blood from a horn being knocked off... Had to get the vet out once as he had been badly bleeding for a few hours before I saw him
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so soin' like a soin' machine!😂
It's a pity cattle are dehorned, I do understand why it's done. But a cow with horns always attracts my attention. For example, if I was buying a high land cow, no way would I buy a dehroned one 🤨
I really enjoy seeing how you follow the data and the best practice. But I am quite surprised you do the holly thing for ringworm. There is no scientific basis for that at all - and if you think about it, it makes no sense that it could work. What's the mechanism? If it actually had some sort of anti-fungal gas that it let off (which it doesn't) how would you get that at any volume onto the affected area of skin on a particular animal? It's just piseóg-ery - an old wives tale. Ringworm is a fungus as I'm sure you know. It's also incredibly contagious, but also not a major issue and dies off quickly. Once you have it there's nothing you can do other than monitor the condition of the cattle and wait for it to go. Don't waste your time on superstitions when you're clearly looking to do things to improve your margins and profitability. Use the time for something that there is evidence for

Bless you all, no pain, no stress, so well done compared to the rest and how they dehorn.. Jesus! ❤

Condolences to you and your family for the loss of your uncle. Rip Uncle Ian
Its SO nice to see the woman of the farm out and about, de-horning some calves
That calf crate looks to be a very handy bit of gear, brilliant video as always 👍🏻
Goodman phil, another good video, great team work there, great demonstration of a job people dont see, keep videos coming.
Lovely to see you walking along at the end of the video as a great couple 💑 😀
My father would trim the hair before dehorning,no fancy calf crush just me holding on tight.will never forget the smell👍
Great video Phil and Liv. Regarding your beef cattle, you are losing money going to a factory with them. In the present climate and with online bidding you would absolutely get on better in a mart.
So, that's a good job done. Some nice chilled beasties there.

This video is so good calves looking good
another great video by the dream team. the dehorning creat makes life a lot easier. all farmers should have one.
Rip uncle Ian ❤
Nice one Phil & Liv.
You can only say so, so many times or you end up going around in circles.
So I won't say so anymore incase Liv get Livid.
You take great care with the calf’s it’s so wonderful.Your the best Farmers Phil and liv and Father Phil best in the world 🌎.We have our viewing sorted out for the evening.Good luck 🍀 🍀🍀☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪
Cringe
@@stephenfitzpatrick575 your life is cringe
@@conorfox6303 😂😂😂😂 bit of banter. We might have a we might have a buzz kill here 😅😅
@@stephenfitzpatrick575 ah sher a bit of banter ti's all it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP for ur uncle will be remembered
Great video Phil that’s some piece of kit the calf crate 👌
Well done F. P. Thank you for sharing and for caring for cattle so well.🐄
I was told at agriculture college, that you should draw syringe back to make sure you don't draw blood. Cos if you inject the anaesthetic into bloodstream you would kill the calf straight away!!
You're correct. Should be no blood when you drawback but a small droplet forming after the syringe is removed is actually normal and a good sign
Well Done Philip
Another good video Phil @ liv 👍👍👍👍
Have you ever tried paste? Maybe the horns are a bit too big, but so much easier.
No never tried it
That’s a great clave cradle. I prefer the calves standing as it reduces stress and the calves don’t sublux their spine as when forced on their side.
Thank you very much it was helpful
So well done liv
SO, SO , SO, LOL nice job there with the de horning
So now! Good job jobbed.
Great video Phil and liv
Interesting video.
Good on phill and liv
They are fine calf’s
So now Great video phil and liv 👍👍
Very good farmer phil
I was on a farm with no vet's anddid well and still on top
Where did u get ur calf create? Sorry for the lose 🕊
So So so so Great work as always Olivia and Phil . Ps any more updates on the 1200
Great to see the fire safety 🔥 in the shed full of straw
So Phil buying the calves a little older is working out for you ? And less problem's ?
Good video farmer pill and liv
Are you in bordbia you need all calves done under 2 weeks
So, that was a great video. You do it differently to the way I was shown and I can see that your way is soooooo much better (so sorry liv)
So glad to see you enjoying the good life. So what's coming ?
So now that was a great vid
whats the tool you used to hold them when dehorning?
great video very interesting:}
so phil would you get your beet now with the change in weather
Good video Phil
Get the sleep injection from your vet and give each calf a jag in the hip and wait till they fall asleep. Then give them their anaesthetic, trim the hair afterwards and then start the dehorning. Leave the pen and they will wake up not knowing what had happened. Zero stress.
Forgive my ignorance if im wrong, but is that not a bit risky using that bit of kit around bales of straw?
No no no ,no
RIP Uncle Ian
Also ....man had great knowledge...
I enjoy your videos 👌

When are you going to fix the tractor and loader in the yard
Good job so
Why dose at calving do u not dose at drying off or 2 weeks after h ousing
Great video Phil the heard watch is some job saves a serious amount of time
So thats the calves de horned hows the slurry getting on Phil
So that's how it's done ✔
How to use baking soda for cattle

Personally I prefer to have the horns removed as had bad experience with a bullock breaking a horn off in the feeding gate a few years ago.
So I find there is less bullying when they are dehorned. I missed a AAX and every cow in the shed keeps out her way

Never really been a problem once we took out bars from the locking barrier
So yet another great video take care so 👍
Paint on some burnt engine oil on the ringworm to kill it
How old are the calves?
So what a great video guys was So interesting don't have to scoop it out as well nice one
Trim the hair round spud that what we do massy man
So . That cool
Any job in your farm?
Ah, so that’s how you do it 😂 👍
So so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so soin' like a soin' machine!😂
Why cant you bring horned animals to the mart?
Dangerous for the mart handlers
@@unaoconnor3628 ahh okey,thanks for answer
Well
They still will let u into the mart if they have horens
You might have an issue if you put the hot iron on a bale of straw 🤔 😳
Maybe try do a few with dehorning caustic paste far easier and cheaper than gas or electric dehorning but have to be done young
Done 1000s no prob crack on .
So so so so so so
So I like the smell of dehorning. But I also like the smell of hot shoeing horses.
So!
Apakah ini peternakan sapi perah.
Rather the dehorning than the sculling
Cracking video as always. So how many calves are you buying this year or is it around the same as always
Witch Is
First
It's a pity cattle are dehorned, I do understand why it's done. But a cow with horns always attracts my attention. For example, if I was buying a high land cow, no way would I buy a dehroned one 🤨
So
Glad u didn’t de bud me lol
Caustic them under a week old, don't buy them unless their done. You have enough to do.
Sound very ucane i know but igot all calfs done in 10 mins . No dope just wasze though with big men don in ten
So now liv
so

Well it works and works well can’t tell you why or how but it works
@@FARMERPHIL3690 It definitely doesn't. But it's not harming either, so keep at it if you like. Good video all the same
So . Sorry Liv😁 . That looked painless and stress free.
