I used to love putting buildings up for other farmers when I worked for a firm years back, everyone was always so grateful for your work and nothing better than seeing a new shed just done 😀👏
@@switchbranch8411 it's the best smell, its strong as hell, but you dont often get a cold. 😂😂 it's great getting to know each cow, believe it or not, they're all different characters.
You all have no idea of what you are talking about.... I was working with the farmers back in th 1960ies. We had barely any machines this was just before silage was invented, just a tiny milk machine. And all the droppings, we had to shuffle all of it through small holes in the floor. It was hard work from 5 in the morning until late, never a day off. But I loved it then And today 60 years later its the best memories, I really still feel that smell and all the individual cows, lovely!
Excellent job. Covered feed area would make a world of difference with wet winters. Cows should spend longer at the grub - more milk. Less slurry and drier grub 👍
Good video and well presented as usual George. will make a huge difference getting the livestock somewhere in the dry and out of the rotten wet weather.
Fair play George that’s a very smart shed! Just a clamp left to build and you’ve got the perfect farm 😉 loving the new vids on the family dairy farm keep it up!
That's an interesting build. I looked at loads of steel frame buildings before I set to and built one for my brother-in-law. It was only 30ft by 12ft for chickens (video of it on my channel). I notice there aren't any apex haunches on any of the bays or under the cantilever beams. A lot of these steel frame/portal frame buildings differ in design one way or another. Good video young man and hope the building serves you well!
You’ve certainly made some changes on the farm in your short time there, looking forward to the cow scratcher and seeing if that improves the milk yield as well 👍
Maaan i sure miss the sheds back on our dairy farm in Scotland, some of these -40c nights are hard on the old angus ladies i have now here in Manitoba. Biotech's are the norm over here.
Interesting video George. I see your new shed has perimeter feeding in your experience which would you have if you could build a new shed for the cows from scratch, perimeter feeding or feeding down a drive through central feed passage?
Really nice job George - turned a fairly crappy feed area into a modern, dry & airy feed passage. A big difference. Guessing the reduced waste water is the biggest factor in deciding to spend money covering the yard? Now you just need to sort out your feed storage clamps 😉
its looking a bit muddy there George where you are loading the beams for the roof do you have any ideas on how to get rid of that is that part of your re vamp like the new cow shed. S C UK.
Next idea... do a better food feeding system so the cows can't push away the food as they eat it! Have a curved metal backing board behind the feed tray so as the cows push the silage away from them the curved board makes the feed fall back into the tray none on the floor or lost, saving you having to drive down the middle and push the feed back into reach of them? Also set up a simple timed motor run arm to push the Dung out along the length of the shed into a area were you can just pick it up with the Loader at the time when the cows not there! It can just be a tractor snow shield on a arm which a motor moves it along a track in the roof, a simple scaffold pole track were a motor turning two small rubber wheels along the pole pushes the shield along the floor so the dung is moved out. If done this saves time and you having to do the feed moving back into the trays and the dung removing too? I sure someone with your skills of work can do this George! Nothing fancy just plain and simple tech to save the time and trouble.
I think your next project should be to build a silage clamp to save all the carting/stackin/opening of all them silage bales 🤪🤪 bloody ell you’s have a lot of bales . I’d go mad having to open them everyday. Best of luck with the new shed . Looks great 👌🏻
Nice one George. Just wondering why you’ve always had rounds instead of cramped? Presume you’ve weighed up pro and cons. I know the expense of a clamp would be shelled out but would it not work out better in the long run with all the plastic etc needed? Cheers
Happy cows, can't get any better than that :) Looks like a Nice shed as well, but what's the average temperature over there? Any trouble with water freezing?
Good video George, where's the merlo and you are spending some money, I thought you would be using the t dub a bit more looking forward to the fast track arriving 🤔
would not want to try it ................all cladding over here .........drips on a frosty morning when it thaws and the fact that it will rot some time in the future are some of the downsides of cladding ........weight of cement sheeting and the fact thats its dogey to walk on are its downside .
Two liters a day gain is a LOT with no other changes Good for you guys!

nice to see the new shed going up
Nice shed George, and excellent video! 🐂🚜
You know what, you cant beat the smell of s dairy farm, the wine of the pumps and vacuum units in the morning. Oh I loved it
Carl Stevens one day I hope to smell the same smell
@@switchbranch8411 it's the best smell, its strong as hell, but you dont often get a cold. 😂😂 it's great getting to know each cow, believe it or not, they're all different characters.
@Carl Stevens seems like a good benefit to dairy would be that the animals tend to hang about quite a bit longer for you to get to know them haha

That’s a great looking new shed George - vast improvement!
Looks great and they will definitely enjoy a cow scratcher!!
Nice shed George! Good idea taking abit off. Would rather be way under than just
Interesting video George, thanks for taking the time and a fair old investment for anyone to make but the beasts will clearly appreciate it.
Looks well George , proper tidy job .
A great looking shed 👌
New shed roof turned out great. Cows are happy then everyone is happy
Excellent job. Covered feed area would make a world of difference with wet winters. Cows should spend longer at the grub - more milk. Less slurry and drier grub 👍
Great video George one of your best yet 👍🏼
Good video and well presented as usual George. will make a huge difference getting the livestock somewhere in the dry and out of the rotten wet weather.
Very good video! Grand job there George! 👍👍
Would u think about putting up a silage pit instead of so many bales ? 🤔
Good video George very interesting to see progress on a build like this please keep the videos coming. All the best Wayne.
That bloody steering wheel sounds just like Chewbacca lol
Good video George 👍 shed has certainly transformed that feeding area , good to hear the milk yield improved already 💪
Barns good progress.
Are you going to build a clamp so you don't need to bale 2000 round bales?
Fair play George that’s a very smart shed! Just a clamp left to build and you’ve got the perfect farm 😉 loving the new vids on the family dairy farm keep it up!
Looking good George, cow's will love ut
Lovely job George. 👍

Good to see a roof! Food quality and hygiene will improve alot!
You’ve certainly made some changes on the farm in your short time there, looking forward to the cow scratcher and seeing if that improves the milk yield as well 👍
Great vid George, always fun to see a shed go up! Nice to see some investment in the dairy industry as well!
come to ireland to see investment in dairy farm buildings ................
Excellent stuff George. Brilliant. Really interesting 👍
Grand shed!..cows will be happier now👌🏼 can never have to many buildings 👍🏻
Massive improvement. 👍
Looks a treat George.
Very Nice George Thanks
Lovely job George
Maaan i sure miss the sheds back on our dairy farm in Scotland, some of these -40c nights are hard on the old angus ladies i have now here in Manitoba. Biotech's are the norm over here.
Nice looking shed George.
Nice shed!!
How many cows are you milking?
Nice shed to keep the cattle warm! :)
Nice shed George, that should make all your girls happy:)
One of your best videos, thanks👍
Nice looking barn cows will love it
Where are you know working. Dind't quite catch that. Ceep up the good videos 👍
I'm now working on Liz's family farm
Nice video George!!!
Good shed. Well done
Nice shed george, nice video too!
Nice to See build shed for your Voss.i Hope for you your oder came true
interesting seeing your perspective cos i work as a fabricator in agriculture construction making and putting up similar sheds in the south west.
Looks very smart mate, congrats
Good video George
Chuck lime powder on the roof. That stop moss growing
Might eat the roof substrate

Looks like they put the roof on with no fall arrest safety netting or any edge protection handrails
Good video George 👍🏻
No messing about just got it done. Good job.
Nice job.
You wouldn't think of collecting the rainwater for power washing etc ?
Nice video as always.. 👍👍
Lot better that George the girls will be a lot more comfortable now just don't forget you have a roof on now when you go in with the loader lol

Colin Campbell you should go on Dragons Den mate! That’s some pitch 🤙🏼

Good video George .👍👍 I've subscribed, let's get you up to 100K subscribers man !! 🚜

Fine job! 👍🏻
Well boy I wasn’t expecting this
Cool vid keep up the good work 👍
Do you do any milking George?
Really enjoy these videos on odd tasks at the farm. Can the bale wrapping sustain the deformation?
Z perlings for cows... Seen far too many rot away, compared to timber. Nice video George 👍
I thought the same, but it is fairly open, and I've had to change many a timber purlin after they've bowed badly. So matter of choice i suppose.
@@MrJonah53 yea there that point as well, and probably price to factor in.
Still a lot of vids I haven’t seen like this one ❤👍🤟🏻💪🏻
i hope the old building can take the extra load ? they must have done the calc's but nice building
with all that moisture the UK gets it would sure be nice to have most of your farm brick, asphalt and or concrete with drainage
Xlaxsauce there isn’t enough money in keeping livestock, to justify that sort of thing.
Wet and forget the roof George it kills the moss and leaves a protective layer on it
bonjour George merci pour la vidéo et un très beau bâtiment
Surely stop a lot of water getting in the slurry pit. Great video
Great shed
Any benefits of going with a concrete slab roof? We used to use them but changed to sheet metal nowdays
Good job 👍
Excellent!
Bloody marvellous
Evening George have try out the Kramer and the j Deere tele handler be good to see what there like against the merlo . How deano getting on cheers
Aww how I love growth. Even if the economy is kapoot ! I’ve adopted over the years the way you speak to animals haha yeeeahhh girl 😂
damn thats one dirty cab 0:30
when you are on a livestock farm things tend to get dirty .......
Good video George, where's the merlo and you are spending some money, I thought you would be using the t dub a bit more looking forward to the fast track arriving 🤔
Can you make a milking video?
Could u stand on the cement sheeting, just wondering if it would take weight
would not want to try it ................all cladding over here .........drips on a frosty morning when it thaws and the fact that it will rot some time in the future are some of the downsides of cladding ........weight of cement sheeting and the fact thats its dogey to walk on are its downside .
We built a new warehouse over the old as opposed to together. Then demo'd the old. The old was fairly small unlike yours though
Will the way the posts in the ground are not make scraping a pain in the arse
What size is the shed?
Hi George what drone do you use
Howdy, it's a Yuneec typhoon H
Grethings from Denmark. How many cows do you have. :-)
Hi , wondering are u making the cow scratcher the same as the last one , just that I’m planning making one too 👍great video
Cheers Neil, yes I'll make a couple 👍
Now put Some extra boxes in and YOU Can hold more cows
Looking at building a new shed here what company built yours?
Graham heath 👍
