    Well done Karen it is great to see you working on different ways to equate your feed per Animal. There are a few different ways as my Dad used to do the old drive around corner to corner then cenctre to the square of the size then work out how many Head he could allow there. We were in all Lucerne Paddocks and clear of any nasty rushes they can be a real Pain once they get a Hold. We did have a neighbour that had them and he used to cut them back to goung level. Once when dying back and again when shooting and even a third time and eventualy they die back. Keep up the good work and never worry about Maths as you are not alone. Aussie Bob. Oh forgot i love how you have a special one and how the herd is so placid.

    One person who mentored me back in the day when I was wet behind the ears said " You either schemey or louster " In other words think about the easiest way to do a job before you start doing it. Wise words that served me well for nearly 40 years. You have already learned that !!. May I suggest you have some cross bars welded on the upright tubes of your slat lifter. That way the pick up holes will be higher and easier to guide the forks into. I would like to add my admiration for how you tackle the work you need to get done.

    Dera Karen I do enjoy your videos. As I mentioned on another site, I spent much of my youth on a dairy farm and although farming methods were quite different (we didn't have the cows in a shed at all) but let them graze outside summer and winter. The winter months didn't give much grass growth so in the summer crops of legumes were grown as well as a type of thin cane (my ancient mind has forgotten the name of it) The legumes were harvested by slashing the paddock then hand raking the slashed crop into heaps and loading the heaps by hand onto a horse drawn sledge The cane was cut using sickles (I am talking about farming here 73 years ago) , taken to the barn on the sledge when a hand turned chaff cutter, It had a large flywheel on it and was difficult for a young high school lad to keep turning as it cut the cane in to small pieces. I wish I was a much younger man, i would have loved to have worked alongside you on the farm. The constant rain and freezing winters may have been a deterrent, for I live in a sub-tropical part of NSW Australia.

Great idea the hooks and saves time and your driving is very good. Stay safe. Aussie Bob.

    One little thing I did to help me putting things on back of tractor.

  • @RA7581
    @RA7581 Рік тому +1

    @Karen Moynihan
    You are constantly working with fertilizers, loose feed, manure. During work, especially on the street, all this flies at you, especially when the wind blows. You need to wear a headscarf, a head scarf or a bandana so that the garbage does not get into your hair.
    It is easier to wash a scarf than to wash your hair, from debris, fertilizers, manure and comb the straw out of your hair. Any headgear, during such work, protects the head from debris.
    We, women who work on farms, always wear a work uniform, which includes a scarf for the head.
    Since, loose or dangling hair, even braided or in a ponytail, like yours, during operation, can get into the rotating parts of the mechanisms.
    In this case, a scarf for the head is not only a means of hygiene, but also a means of protection from accidents.
