Hello from Atlantic Canada. I've been watching a few months now and have finally gotten caught up on the old videos. Great job James, I've enjoyed every minute
The case is there for a fusion in the time you were wrapping you could have been lugging bales, only teasing James we still have some bales to lug, sward looks very good
Great video James, I was very surprised with how much the clover had growing round the bales, got to remember we are into November now, hopefully a short winter housing program this year.
Wouldn’t have been a bad idea but with that field only being silaged in October, there wouldn’t have been enough cover. If we were planning on reseeding a field and silaged it in august then that would work really well. 👍
Hi James , I subscribed a few months ago and watch all the cattle videos you do. Could I ask you to do a video or give us some info on the cattle crush setup. Looking into purchase a new crush. Is there a weight scales as part of the crush or separate etc. What are targets for charolais weanlings. When do you finish them at 20 months?
Hey Neil, Yeh you nailed it. They are 7 months old on average. I think the secret is probably a combination of a lot of things. Good animal health, small calves that don’t endure a lot of stress at calving, Good cows that thrive in a grass based system, keeping grass quality through the year, using the right bulls, culling out inefficient animals. I could probably go on. I don’t think there’s really one explanation.
@@baldysfarm Thanks for taking the time to reply. We buy 3-4 week old calves and take them through to 16/17 months. We haven't got the room to take them to fat (at the moment). We started giving 3-4 month old calves cake and rolled barley and they are now 12 months old and look good. I was interested to know how you get yours looking so good at such a young age. We don't do too much with minerals or licks, so maybe that will be something else to try. Anyway, I enjoy watching your videos and your enthusiasm/passion for farming.
You clearly don’t realise that leaving baleage for over 3/4 days after wrapping,then moving them into storage creates mold. The plastic is designed to stretch during the wrapping process and then shrink back.U I f picked up after that time frame it doesn’t stretch and that leaves loose wrap and the rot starts.Plus you have left a few dozen weed strains in the field where they were sitting. It’s a fantastic clip,all that know and the music and even the “ I don’t care” comment. Hate to be that picky,but slagging round bakes indicates not enough density 🤷♂️🤷♂️ That’s the problem with UA-cam,you’re showing people who do know what they doing that you don’t,but at the same time trying to educate others with minimal knowledge yourself 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ Wrap em Store em Protect em
Firstly for some perspective, we finished making these bales late at night and the next morning it was raining. It then hasn’t stopped raining for about 3 weeks at which point we needed to allow a good amount of time to dry due to the time of year. This was our first opportunity to get out. Trust me, I know plenty about grass and silage but this situation just is what it is. Nothing more. I do appreciate your comment but there is usually a lot more to the story than meets the eye. 👍

Hi James Nice one good to get the bales moved Have a good weekend Thanks again

Well done on collecting up all the
" Marshmallows " for your cattle. Lol😊😊😊
Great video, that new grass is amazing ❤
Great video James, I was very surprised with how much the clover had growing round the bales, got to remember we are into November now, hopefully a short winter housing program this year.
No farming no food
I thaught you were going to strip graze ang put ring feeders over the bales like kale for beefers

What age are those weaned calves please? They look really good. Whats the secret? They look like 6/7 months old.

Why not carry one bale home in the loader.
I would have been there a long time 😂 there is over 300 🙈
Hopefully the Google plane didn't fly over after you lifted them bales otherwise you've got a spotty field for the next 5 years... 😉🤣
Perfect spots to plant trees. And be paid for them!
😂 you won’t see it after a couple of weeks.
@ Jokjng aside have you looked at any of the Agroforestry payments? Would be interesting to hear your take on it.
