Oh sorry, didn’t think 🤦♂️ she is back but just working when I’m in Ireland. Happy just grafting away but said she might make a few cameos appearances
Tom our calf shed was much like yours. What we did that really improved the shed was insulated the roof. We used fiberglass fiber board just nailed to the bottom of the roof strips. So any condensation that formed on the top side ran down to the eve of the roof and out the air vent. Would not be that costly and our where white in color and that brightened the shed up too. P.S. I do not know if you have bagged activated/baked lime in the UK but we always used it on the floor of a fresh cleaned pen. It helps control any bacteria/germs passing from one group to the next. It is not very costly either. Few dollars for a fifty lbs. bag.
I like 'deep' bedding for calves because the manure gives off heat as it rots underneath them and a deep bed of straw on top keeps the calf dry. Watching you peel the layers off shows that you do it right - no scrimping on the straw, especially as technology has advanced the breeding of wheat with shorter stalks - resulting in less straw for bedding and making it much more expensive as demand has remained the same or increased while supply keeps shrinking with shorter and shorter stalks.
Someone who grew up on a cow farm I love seeing calves and I love watching her videos keep this coming because I love all these videos and I enjoy watching your videos every day it reminds me when I start working with cows so thank you
As a calf nanny myself, id LOVE to see how you guys care for yours! I love watching how others do theirs, it helps me learn how i can improve my own care. Also, get some fans in that shed! Should help keep them more comfortable and save a water trip or two. May i recommend a little milk taxi? lol
Said this to Joe seels andd gonna say it to you Tom. Shows what kind of boss youu want to be when you don't give someone a job your not willing to do yourself. Good work keep it up all of you 👍
that video took me back to my early working life. Miss it. I would run water into that building as I never liked bucketing water. keep up the good work.
Hey To ..did you ever think of putting pallets under the bedding for the small calves...it saves calfs lying in wet and saves bedding...we used it in the pens and it worked a treat
You are so uplifting and your energy is infectious. I look forward to your videos to brighten my day. (Even the ones about muck) It is wonderful to see your plans take form. Cheers to you, the lovely Joanna, the Ginger Warrior and the rest of the Pemberton family and crew! 👍👍😁❤️ Yes, those calves are beauties!
Another excellent video as usual Tom. I’m so glad for the time difference as your episodes are a great way for me to start my day. A video on the calves…yes please. Might be the oldest tractor on the farm, but still one of my favourites. Glad to see you fix it up rather than replace it.
Anybody else waiting to see the video of the ginger legend having the field rotation explained, and shown the water troughs Great video, day to day stuff
You make cleaning out calve pens easy but our caf shed any empty pens are1 taken down and each gate individualy hot washed and then the space where the empty pens were are also hotwashed and cleaned
Thank you for all the hard work . I grew up on a small family farm and remember mucking stalls and spreading it on the hay Fields and spring calving and so many other things it brings to mind
Theres is a new air circulation thing out for cow sheds for calves as well a big fan drawing in air and a long plastic tube with fresh air outlets running down inside top of shed tom keeps them cool and fresh air and its not expensive around 2500 for that shed you have
Great video! Re: the milk container, i'm no expert but i recon the volume of the container is restricted by the size of the fridge's shelves it's kept in, that's why they are all the same globally. so i dont think there's a chance some clever cloggs who could design something that fits the same space in the fridge but looks larger in the supermarket to drive sales. I think this is my longest comment ever, i'm blaming the Hendrick's....
Some great-looking calves you have there. I reckon you could put in a retractable garden hose, make giving water to the calves much easier and faster than bucketing it all. Also you could chuck in a sprinkler or two on the roof to help cool down the iron and building in the summer.
Tom we have a machine called a Sherpa and its a small stand on loader and we use it for mucking out stables. Saves all the back breaking work of mucking out pens
Enjoyed this video. It's good to see how things are done. Would love to learn more about the calves if you wouldn't mind. 😊🌷 I still watch the running of the cows. Love them being so happy and kicking up their hooves! 🐄 🌻
Love the calves, they are so adorable! I am laughing at the "It's so hot" at 22°! Temperatures are so relative! We've been in a severe drought/heatwave here in Massachusetts, with 21 days straight of temps above 90° (32°c) up to 106° (42°c). It's 96 right now, with a RealFeel of 105. It is FINALLY supposed to break tomorrow (thank you Jesus) with a high of 76° (24°c) I might just cry when I feel that blessedly cool air! 😂
Mary Vallas I know what you mean. We've been having entirely too many 90-100+ days in Northern Illinois as well. Today it only made it up to 76 and the humidity has dropped. The first time in ages that I've been able to open the windows and get some fresh air, It's heavenly!
@@joannecollins6487 that's the weather that's on it's way to me! Yay!!!! We don't even have central AC, just a window unit in the bedroom! Our downstairs windows are all casement windows. It's never been an issue for more than 3 or 4 days before, but this year... Heaven help us! 😵
Great video 👍👌 I watch follow a few farmers and it's great to see more than one aspect of modern farming and different types of farms. I really miss the farming life I had when I was younger.
Great video Tom, glad to see the scraper tractor back. Hopefully good for many more years, that's some quality worm food the calves have produced there when it gets spread and anything to make the job easier to shift it gives you more time to do other jobs.👌👍
Ya all should look at used skid-loaders, and the pus h blade an sweeper attachments, things are god sends on the farms here in the U.S. Small maneuverable an powerful little units that really make cleaning up so much easier an faster
I would like to see more about raising the calves. How long do they stay in the little stalls? How old are they before they get to go outside and run about? Would love to see a Heidi sighting or two!!! You are a hard worker, Tom!!!!
The plastic milk carton is designed to sit in the fridge door and be ready to use for people of all ages. The 2 litre mineral bottles fall over to easily and don't pour as well as plastic milk carton.
Thank you as always for the great video. Starts my day off here on the West Coast of the United States with some happy cows which means my day starts off great. Be well be you
Hey Thomas just an idea but if you had that tin sprayed with foam it would help alot I bet but even cheaper just get sheets of foam and glue it up I know mind your business wright ok
I saw on another vlog where a dairy farmer was having a issue with flys and he wrapped some cones with fly paper and placed 3or4 in the field. Within 1/2 day there were thousands of flys stuck to the paper which he then threw away and replaced. Maybe you should try that in the barns where you are keeping animals inside 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I know what you mean, mucked out the calf pens when I was a kiddo up to grown man up around 25 years old, wheelbarrow all the way, so I know how you feel about that 😁
Cool vid, love watching you guys work. The differences between your systems and ours here in the colonies blows me away. Where rearing 10 x as many calves and doing 10% of the work. No bucketing round here. Keep it up mate.
we call cleaning the cow sheds and pens the smell of making money$$$ LOL. it is definitely a good sweat when it's hot outside also. The calves are looking great Tom and Luke is a tractor master!!
Must have been almost as cheap to have put a recon engine in it once they found the crank had gone. Guaranteed to have damaged the bores on the two pistons that broke away. That said, I've got a barn full of old machines that I continue to repair rather than replace, so cant exactly speak with any authority. Another great vid Tom.
I like Pink Lady apples as well. Coincidentally when you said it was twenty to twelve, it was for me as well, GMT +4 though. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
Time to be on the lookout for an old Massey 290 for the scraper work. The old international has had enough. Or possibly alter that calf pens a little and go down the same route as the “10th generation dairyman” and get yourself a skid steer 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Can't be the only one who first thought Heidi was back. Scraper tractor is still cool
Oh sorry, didn’t think 🤦♂️ she is back but just working when I’m in Ireland. Happy just grafting away but said she might make a few cameos appearances
I thought the same thing. We need our dose of Heidi!
I think your find Heidi was not wanting to be on youtube videos
Same here :)
Agree😊
Milk containers are designed to fit in the door of a fridge that's why they are that shape.
Pemberton farm is back to the old fashioned way of cleaning stables. Those babes are worth it.
great to see the old girl back Tom reminds me of the saying the new broom sweeps clean but the old one knows where the dirty corners are

We'd all love to see and hear from Heidi; you gave her a lot of what she needs to be a brilliant vet.

You could use a greenhouse watering system to fill up the water buckets , save your back and time , time is money👍👍most garden centres sell them👍👍
Just watching this video brings back the smell! Some rotted hay, old manure, Oh the Memories!!!
Anybody else waiting to see the video of the ginger legend having the field rotation explained, and shown the water troughs

Caves and cows are best. Thank you for sharing.🐄
You need a Skid Steer for the Calf Building, it can go in tight places and scoop up Muck very easy 😊
Theres is a new air circulation thing out for cow sheds for calves as well a big fan drawing in air and a long plastic tube with fresh air outlets running down inside top of shed tom keeps them cool and fresh air and its not expensive around 2500 for that shed you have
Great to see you working with your team, love seeing the babies.
Love seeing your cows. Makes my heart happy to see them run.
Calves are so precious, especially the brown/white one. Good jobs done, love hearing the cows too! Take care and God Bless 😇💜
Is that another Shorthorn calf?
@@marleneclough3173 it’s not but we do have one 😊

Nice to see Heidi back and the international working hard as well.
Nice vid man
I always love watching the calves and yes your little brown and white calf is absolutely adorable.
red not brown!

A very busy day hard work definitely pays off great video as always Tom
Cleaning barn stalls is always an undertaking, but there is nothing like a fresh clean barn to make a farmer smile!
Just the best 😊
Good to see the scraper tractor back, hope you've got plenty of spare rear tyres, spinning the wheels like that you're going to need them.👍
Yeah the scraper tractor looked like it was proper broke. Awesome vid. Cheers Tom
Yes more of the day to day work on the farm. Love your videos. ❤️❤️
Great to see the internal back in action. 100% agree on what you said about the coke bottles
Nothing like rolling up the sleeves Tom and getting stuck into a bit of manual labour 💪
Excellent job,very satisfying job.
The best kind of jobs 😊
@@TomPembertonFarmLife fact 👌🏼
Great video 👍👌
I watch follow a few farmers and it's great to see more than one aspect of modern farming and different types of farms. I really miss the farming life I had when I was younger.
I’m combining at the moment and it’s really really really warm
Great video Tom, glad to see the scraper tractor back. Hopefully good for many more years, that's some quality worm food the calves have produced there when it gets spread and anything to make the job easier to shift it gives you more time to do other jobs.👌👍
Anything with the calves would be great to see!!
Inter 275 - best small tractor by far! Mine had a loader on as well Scraped 60, mucked out cattle... turned the genny when there was a power cut.
Another great vid, thanks Tom. Scraper tractor will go for another 20 years now!
thanks Tom your streaming really enjoyed watching your clips video and your dad 🙂🤣👍👍
I love the red one. You must keep her!
100% she is staying 😊
Get yourself a wee bobcat type machine for the scrapping out, they will fit through all your doors
Ya all should look at used skid-loaders, and the pus h blade an sweeper attachments, things are god sends on the farms here in the U.S. Small maneuverable an powerful little units that really make cleaning up so much easier an faster
Awww, Neptune's calf is so cute! Are you going to keep it? I love seeing the young calves, they seem to playful and have such big soulful eyes
Yeah we are going to
Keep it 😊
@@TomPembertonFarmLife i’m so glad to hear that! Business is business of course, but some exceptions are ok 😊

Was thinking it was Heidi back on the show
She is back covering when I’m away, she might make a cameo in the future 😊
@@TomPembertonFarmLife please make it happen as she is awesome
Every time I see that nice Tractor 🚜 I remember Heidi driving it around 😊
Love the cow work. The science of the farm. Wonder about Luke and other workers.
So far so good 👍
Great video! The calves are just the best.
I would love to see a video on your calf’s. They are so cute and playful and be interested in how you move them around and at what stages you do this
Great video calves looking great.
Love to see calfing and how you manage the calf’s
Yes PLZ
Yes please
Fabulous vid. Love the cleaning/mucking/shifting cattle around videos
Great video Tom brings back memories of mucking calf pens out in younger days
That scraper tractor is invincible. No matter what you do to it, it always bounces back
💪😂
The plastic milk carton is designed to sit in the fridge door and be ready to use for people of all ages. The 2 litre mineral bottles fall over to easily and don't pour as well as plastic milk carton.
Yes please to seeing your calf routine, always interesting seeing them.
Good to see Boris has got a new job quickly 😜
Hahahah

I have to barrow all our calf pens out so seeing you scrape your out makes me very jealous!

Do you ever do a 'deep clean' of the calf shed? Like pressure wash and spray disinfect the whole?
Animal care is very welcome, both routine work and special jobs.
The calfs are so cute the brown one is my favourite
Brillant tom look forward to seeing your videos class
Great video Tom the calf’s are looking good 👍👍👍🇬🇧🏴
Thank you 😊
It was nice to see you today and the steak from the shop was lovely.
Could you do an update on the goats and Highlands please
Thanks for poping in 😊
happy calves. always nice to see
Legendary Luke content!!!
