- Hello,
Our cows have come in for winter and in this video we show what we feed them as they can no longer eat the delicious grass underneath them.
We open the clamp and show you how we do it on our farm.
Hope you enjoy
I can smell the silage in North Lincolnshire. ! Nice to see the girls are quiet and contented eating their tea. Great educational video. Well done dad. 🐄👍
Back in the 80's We had a covered silage clamp, we placed hay bales over the entire clamp, then straw on top again later in the season. The hay, straw, and silage was all used at a very similar rate. Vermin do go into straw, but not hay so there were no rat holes in the sheet.
Ha Sister ,and dad ,have to say you're on the top of your game when it comes to making feed for your cows ,,stay safe and warm ❤
Richard, I can tell you and Dawn are very proud of your girls and you should be,,lol ,I was about to move over there till ,,,,I heard about John,,well I say he has diffinely got a keeper,,,lucky him ,,lol,and I was ready to move,,,and yes I have worked in two different daisy's,,hard work but what a great feeling,,take care till next week ❤
Thanks Iadies and Dad watching from Middle Tennessee. As our cross dairy beef cows are fall calving
Poor Josie, sympathise with you, had head cold sinus issues for 10 day's now it's turned to chest infection
Unfortunately, with emphysema it's antibiotics and steroids for me
Hope you're soon feeling tip top
Take solis in the knowledge that Poppy and dad will keep the channel moving, and you have been promoted to director/camera tech
I must say you all and especially dad really explain things, which for us non farmers is both enjoyable and educational
Thank you again for taking time out to produce these videos
Take care all
Geoff
Yes Dad, you didn't sneak over there, we all seen you fall and get up like nothing had happened 😂😂😂 🐄🐄🐄 Get well soon Josie. Team cow 🐄
The science behind it and the different techniques of making silage is always fascinating to listen to. I love how the dressed front shows how it was compacted to help create the fermentation process. You know... I bet Phil Harding could give a real good talk on the stratification he sees in it! 🤔
Another great video, watch out Joyce, I think your dad is after your job 😂 get well soon, ❤
Thank you for the very good video, always nicely done.
Great to see the ladies sleeping safely
I am very impressed with your silage pits.
Poppy made a great job of pit and with the help of ur mom
5:18 It is nice being up high 🙂 At school young lads love climbing onto the roofs! 🙂 Sisters in Wellies are breaking stereotypes! 🙂
Thanks sisters
Can ye talk about yer breeding policy etc bulls used etc
Did ye ever considered getting a Keenan diet feeder
Do you feed in the parlour or out of parlour feeders? No maize or additional blends.
We feed a bit of cake in the parlour during milking 😊
I wonder if TP watches these and learns something 😂
What’s the difference between the black cover sheet, on the inside, and the green sheet? Is the weave/density different? Also every farmer in the UK seems to be adamant about green sheets.🤔
8:34 Any problems with pink eye from your round bales? How do you avoid the bales causing pink eye?
for silage best fermentation the Lactic acid should be 3 times higher than acetic acid & ethanol quantity should be as low as 1% of the dry matter & PH of the silage for excellent anaerobic fermentation should be around 4 # i agree past boy friends & past husbands should inform if any damage occurs to plastic covering sheets ❤️❤️🇵🇰
So those good limbs.. were you saying they are available 😉😉😍😍
What are the advantages of storing you silage under a roof? Thanks.
No water on cover off pit .if no roof u have to collect run of plastic
Don't have to collect run off. Consistent DM silage (which makes a huge difference).
I thought you had to. I see alot of farmers roofing there silage pits now.
@@EdwardBrady-ls6up no that's the benefit of roofed pits!
What does the roof do to help the silage
why is it called a clamp wondering if you could explain we call it a pile
Because, at least traditionally, they have a wall on each side to clamp it.
