Tom don't apologise mate you've got to remember it's a family business first youtube last right at the end of the list. My heart breaks for farmers a lot of shit goes on and farmers are the ones who always get the worst of it. So glad you've sorted it.xx
Tom! Farm comes first! First you handle it, then you UA-cam it!!! Also that way we get the whole story, not the first reactions!!! Hugs! Hugs! Hugs! I very much admire how J was handling it! I sure she was terrified! I don’t know if I could have stood there and carried on as gracefully as your wife did!!
Thank you guys. Means a lot.
So sorry to hear this Tom. Hopefully everything will turn out for the good.
Know how you feel locked up with TB from March tested every 60 days since 5 with TB the first test tested 60 days late 1 with TB tested 60 days late 6 had TB testing on Tuesday 19 fingers crossed

Heart breaking for you all
Keep your spirits up guys
I was amazed to hear your dad has been farming for 65 years. He doesn’t look a day over 45! He’s done well to stay in such good shape.
You are so lucky Tom a little bit of tb we had foot and mouth and lost everything now I’m driving a large truck to Europe and back weekly I felt suicidal when it happened so you and family keep your chins up pls thanks kev
God bless you!
Devastating news, hopefully you’re completely clear now. Thank you for posting these videos and letting people see the good, bad and the very ugly, of farm life
This video is one of the best videos showing the effects of Tb on farms no matter your size. It hits you hard. 😢
This is absolutely devastating and horrible I really hope yous can make a come back with this down fall 😢❤
Sisters in Wellies, also recently got the dreaded TB test results.... Tragic all around 😣. But the war on TB is still a hot conflict. I grew up in the Era of mandatory yearly chest x-rays at school. I've visited a country side TB sanatorium. We never want to return to the days when those things were common-place.
Prayers
TOM, you, your dad, and all your family and staff work incredibly hard to make your farm and business the best you can. Please never apologise for doing the right thing, sir. We could all see how devastating it was for you all. WE, your subscribers and followers love the way you share your life, warts, and all, for that we Thank You.
Tom my heart ❤goes out to you and your family as I no it’s devastating news but thank you for your education
Just because you share your farm with us on youtube doesnt mean you have to show us everything. Appreciate how brave you are to share this.
No he absolutely did the right thing by making this video. If he had tried to hide this sort of thing it would have been the wrong move. Things like this would have gotten out and been a scandal of sorts. Typically i would be critical of Tom and bash him and his father for letting this happen. But its not needed.
Absolutely gutted for you guys 😢 sending love❤
Man, that must have been tough what with all your other commitments going on at the time and having us all asking about the new parlour. Always put your family and business first mate. Your YT extended family all support you. Feel for any farmer who goes through this. 😢
I remember commenting on one video how he was looking stressed and putting it down to the parlour, bale milking etc. Goodness it must have been devastating at the time. Tom is such a positive young man, he's done such an incredible job bringing the farm to where it is now and coped with more obstacles than most, covid, the jump in feed, fuel and material prices, the reality of becoming a father shortly and he gets this thrown in. I have so much respect for him. I'm so glad he is having such a happy end to this year, the safe and healthy delivery for Jo of Harvey, the parlour being everything he wanted, and by the sounds of it getting a handle on the TB, he deserves it.
@trippinggauntlet4520
Very well said. This young chap has his head screwed on, and his parents have raised a very well-balanced young man. He is a credit to not just British farming but to farmers worldwide with the struggles they face on a daily basis to do all those thing and then document it all on social media is incredible ❤️
@@trippinggauntlet4520well said mate 🫶🏻
Absolutely heartbreaking, you can see how gutted everyone was which just goes to show how much care you give to your animals. Farmers in the UK are currently fighting so many things from not getting what they are due from those they sell onto, the pure amount of red tape to get funding they've been promised and the myriad of diseases out there. I hope and pray that you're clear at the next round of testing and never apologise for anything Tom.
As Ex-Dairy farmer, I know how gutting can be. I hope there's a follow-up with better news.
Stay strong.
The respect we all have for you, your dad and all the family is massive. You will endure best wishes x
Fair play to you Tom for showing this. And well done Lizzie for being on camera and explaining everything. All your videos are a great watch, this one not so much but you know what I mean.
I'm not a farmer, but I have a fair understanding of how devastating TB can be (I work in the NHS). My heart just sank when I read the title of this video. Hopefully you guys are coming out the other end of this. Thank you for sharing this video as it has educated me on how the screening process works and I sincerely hope, no.... check that, I know that as a farm you will recover from this and as you say you have come through the other side.
lol nhs how's your prince andrew doing is he healthy like your constable schofield
So sad Tom, thoughts are with you. It’s so devastating and a waste of a beautiful animals life. Head up mate ❤
`
I don't think I've watched a Farm Life video that made me cry before, but this one sure did. Tom's clear devastation and that poor cow walking off to an early death just broke my heart. I can't imagine how hard this must have been for the whole team. So unexpected on a well run farm. 😟Bless Tom for his willingness to share this painful journey with us. As horrible as this is, it will also be interesting to see how the situation gets resolved.
Gutted for you, hope it is a once in a life time event for the farm.
I don’t think you can underestimate how useful and educational this content is. Where I live there was a huge amount of uproar regarding the Badger cull, where people didn’t grasp how serious the rise in TB is and how damaging it is. Clarksons farm touched upon it and I thought that was very useful info and now you’re educating us from a slightly different angle. I choose to eat meat, drink milk etc, part of that choice comes with a responsibility of understanding how that food gets from field to plate and all of the “not so nice” farming practices that come with it, controlling wildlife populations being one of those practices. Very much looking forward to the next two instalments. We progress far more effectively when we’re out of our comfort zone or when we’re met with exceptional circumstances, I bet you’ve come out of this as a fitter and stronger business and you’d have gained new and invaluable knowledge along the way. Step back, take stock of the last couple of years, I bet you give yourself a pat on the back 👍
My heart breaks for the farmers who do everything right and still have this devastating diagnosis. Hold your head high, you did the best for all concerned. Your You-Tube audience should be the least of your worries. We will continue to support you because of your honesty, integrity, and devotion to your herd and family.
Respect for tom we've never had it but it is devastating 😢😓😪😪😪😓
Crying my heart out for you, your family and your farm. So sorry Tom. Sending lots of love to you all xxx
Sorry to hear your news Tom.
We'll never forget the day we went down in a big way, 43 cows lost on our annual test.
Over 2 years now, 108 cows lost.
Skin tests every 60 days and 2 gamma tests later we're still not clear.
Not a farmer but it seems like a lot more getting TB does the UK need cull of deer badgers are there now to many spreading the problem ?
So sorry Tom... But the storm will go away fast at it arrives and the sun will shine again at this awesome farm. Big huges from Spain!!!
Totally shocked that you had such a horrible thing happen to the farm and the family 😢
Thank goodness your family is so supportive of eachother.
Our love and prayers to you all that this gets over with and that it never happens again ❤
Tom, you should never have to feel obliged to share anything on UA-cam. It should be entirely your choice, and if you don't share something, no one has a right to judge any less of you. That said, we appreciate you showing the world what a stress the whole TB issue is to us livestock farmers.
I'm so sorry you guys have to deal with this! Funky Farmer had to deal with it as well, I believe his came from some badgers or wildlife in the fields. Hope you guys can bear through all of the testing, processes, losses and carry on without too much damage mentally and in terms of the herd.
and a deer appears in the video
i dont think we have the same disease here in the states but deer carry some nasty stuff that can kill a cow in as little as 24 hours here that theres no treatment for just vaccines
When Richard did a tour of a farm on the isle of white the farm Sao they’ve never had TB they have badgers but no deer.
God bless you dear boy. We get knocked down but we get up again and again and again.👍🏻👍🏻
Just highlights the lows of farming. Hope all goes well Tom and don't forget, the British Farming Community is behind you every step of the way!
Absolutely gutted for you Tom, it’s a crying shame such a fit healthy animal, this is why we all love your content so much you show the true ups and downs of day to day farming 👍🏻
Tom from experience this year I went down with tb this year in Ireland and the cow got tested when she was being blood tested she never had tb so we spent 4 months locked up before we could get out even though never had it
Tom, wishing you and your extended family the very best. You are navigating this challenge as best you can. Stay strong mate!
I’m literally crying as I’m sure you all were with such fear that you could have lost all your beautiful animals. How on earth have you carried this stress around you as well as the dairy build and the bale? Thank you for sharing this so that we all understand the devastation it can bring. Hopefully now you are on the other side of this but not something you will ever forget. Love to you all ❤❤
I am sorry to hear about the positive test. Your Dad’s expression was accurate. Hope it works out for you. Onward and upward Tom. 👍👍❤️
You are a rare human Tom. Thank you for showing us that there are still some good humans out there.
Wow the devastation on your face when you find out Tom. It made me feel sick. It instantly broke you in half. Thank you for putting this video up and like people say it happens. It’s not your fault and you are one of the best livestock farmers around. Don’t stop being you Tom 👍
Happy to pop down with the 243 and sort out the problem 👍🏻 hope everything gets sorted
My cows was tested on TB a few weeks ago but thx God they are ok. I can't even imagine what you felt at that time and now. So sorry for you.. sending love!!
Tom, Andrew and family, as someone who grew up on a livestock farm I fully understand this nightmare that you have gone through. It really is very, very disheartening and a huge worry. Whilst your immediate locality will have learnt of this news via the grapevine almost as quickly as you learnt about it, you are still very courageous to inform the wider world. I salute that courage and your transparency and good old fashioned honesty. Especially as you know as I that there will be customers to the farm shop that will stop coming, saying things like "just to be on the safe side" but what I would like them to know and I hope this video will educate is that if the meat is in the farm shop or any shop, it is on the safe side. Very much so. There are many faults with the UK, but adherence to regulations by farmers, veterinarians and food testing is not one of them. Even if there was a rogue in the midst of this chain, they would still be found out in one of the other steps in the process. This is why the consumer should buy British meat. With the government's backing of re-wilding the countryside and an ever increasing ban on culling, I am afraid that the cases of TB are going to increase. I am not a fan of the daft hunting in fancy clothes on horses for the sake of it, but you absolutely must have controlled culls of wildlife populations to retain a balance and a healthy domestic livestock flock and herd. Re-wilding and culling go hand in hand together and the general public need to understand this. These videos are very important Tom. Very important.
Heart goes out to you guys, glad you were able to overcome
I can only imagine how you felt. I have raised cattle before, and I feel devastated just watching. Man what a thing to go through.
Heartbreaking... but out of your power. You do everything right. ❤
Oh my. Devastating, and thank you for educating so many. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hi Tom , So very sorry to hear you have TB. on the farm It’s just devastating for you, You and your family take care of yourself .😢😢
Thank you for showing this. My uncle is a dairy man in the south west. In recent years it's been celebrating the times when they aren't restricted. Selling to orange markets or tb isolation units has become normal.
Thanks for your honesty, Tom. My heart goes out to you!!
So sorry that this happened, saying prayers for strength for everyone that this will affect .
So sorry for you and all on the farm but thank you for sharing this so that we can all be educated
I am so very sorry. Thinking of you all.
Thank you for continuing to share your journey Tom
We all wish you good luck to get through this Tom
I felt your pain . You and dad was so strong . I nearly cried .🤗
Oh no! I am so sorry! Thank you for the very informative video. It must have been very difficult for you. 😢
Respect Tom for filming and sharing the news
Sending love to you all. 😍 we will be in for our burgers and milkshakes soon
We are SOOOO sorry this happened! An absolute nightmare for any farmer! This comes waaay before UA-cam. Glad your dear wife is okay now and you have sweet baby boy. The family business is so important too. Our hearts break with you.
There is so much love and support coming from around the world. Total respect to an amazing family . Hope and pray all comes good. X
Thank you Tom for sharing this. I can tell it's been really tough on you, having to face this TB nightmare.
I can see from your reaction how much of a shock this was and a massive kick in the nuts. Business always comes first but i am really grateful that you shared this story with us. Farming isnt always rainbows and sunshine and this is real life. As you said though, its happened and now you have to move on. For me the reaction of the whole team shows just how much this situation affects you all and just how much you and the team care. Keep your chin up lad
Great respect to you and your family
I’m so sorry Tom, just when everything is going so well something like this drops on you
My thoughts are with you all ❤❤❤❤
Bless you and your family for being such honest and credible people. ❤
Oh man thats really sad to hear Tom! I wish you and your family all the best!
Gutted for you Tom. I hope it all pans out for you
Desperately sorry for you and your family ❤
Seeing all sides of the farm, seeing life, it opens our eyes, thankyou for sharing with us Tom. 🙏🙏🇬🇧
So sorry to hear this. It must have been an incredibly difficult video to make but thanks for making it to highlight this issue and everything it involves
It's moving north. A farmer in Cumbria has just had his first ever reactors in their entire farming careers. We once lost 30 on one day and it was the badgers, they'd been in the silage pit.
I can see how hard it is showing us this Tom. Love watching your channel and seeing your farm life, hope you get back to normal. ❤❤
Oh crud....mate. so sorry for that happening. Thank you for the information on TB.
I'm so sorry to hear this news. I hope you're all doing ok now.
Tom another moving video, showing real farming once again, good to see your getting through it
You do good work and we all appreciate everything you do.
Gutted for you guys! Chin up, head high mate, you and your crew is doing an awesome job with the farm and putting high quality content out here for us!
Full marks for being brave enough to put this out there Tom, I know it’s a stressful experience for you all. Keep up the good work fella.
Tom, total respect to you and the team for dealing with this on you tube
Good luck tom and family hope all turns out ok for you all
So sorry to hear this hopefully it will go away quickly thanks for showing this the farm will get through it as your a great farmer and have a great team best wishes .
I am so incredibly sorry that you and everyone else involved have had this happen and have had to deal with the whole scary situation. I am also so sorry that you had to re-live all of it to edit and put out this video. Please don't worry about putting things out there that you don't want to share/ feel uncomfortable sharing the moment something happens or even at all if you don't want to, just because you choose to share most of your life doesn't mean you HAVE to, only what you want to!
Wishing you and everyone there all the best and please take care! ❤
Mad respect for what you and your family do AND go through!!! You will persevere!!
Sending healing strength and energy from across the pond!!
Your honesty is reassuring..
Devastated for you, thank you for your honesty and explanations.
