Hi Ian, As your in the deep thought process maybe plan a bit of undercover equipment storage on the north side of the nearest to the house covered yard. You already have wind and driving rain taken care of so gather up some hidden timber and 2nd hand crinkly tin sheets and make some jutty out rain protection. Also with all that land hiding behind the dung heap why not store hardcore etc. in there and leave the space next to the new bard flat, clean ready for an overspill car park. Well the things they make as blow up toys is amazing gives a whole new meaning to crutch.
Farmer p you should feed the cattle in 1 bay of the shed and put your machinery in the other your cutting down on cattle anyway 1 bay will be plenty love your videos never miss them keep 😅
Move that concrete panel to the end of the lean too but not where they feed use a sheeted door there to clean out up through. Bars will.stop the calves climbing through the barriers. Clad down to the barrier top and there won't be much weather get tho then.
Shed extensions looking good. I have a feeling that Concrete will be a'coming sooner rather than later. The look on your face, the tone of your voice. (Bet you've never won at Poker 😹😹😹)
Be a great job when be done ,hope no more opening gates and be able to open bales under cover,dat yoke looks like could get a run in de bed room 1st 😂😂😂❤❤❤
You're really looking after the animals over winter. I thought it was Mrs p when you said you was over here 😂😂 but not biskit checking up on you. Be nice once finished
I'm sure the cattle will love the new lean to! The happiness of the cows are always priority; and if you as the farmer have the ability and means to do it, then it's not a waste at all!
@@spiercephotography Absolutely, I consider the project a huge leap forward towards the welfare of our stock. I will get far more satisfaction from seeing them dry and comfortable than I would from a bit of shiny machinary.
Looks good , well your protecting the cows and maybe you eont have to muck it out so much . If you get bored , uou can always take your old Git pills and and anti tight ones and go play ball with pepper 😁. Bisquit wants a ride too .
If its a bad winter you can always put netting up on the north end but I suspect the comment about the bedroom window means you want it open so you can see what they are up too.
Evening farmer p mum p abbi holli emma sam bisskit abd ur other dogs Great vlog HOW IS UR FOOT DOING NOW I HOPE U R TAKING CARE OF IT❤ The barn roof extension is coming on quickly now isnt it If u get the paint etc we will paint it 4 u no probs!!! Love u guys💜💚❤️💙
Yeah you probably don’t need the extensions… you probably don’t need a shed for the Dexters but as you say, it makes if nice for the cattle. Show me an animal that doesn’t seek shelter. Love the blow up walking sticks😆👌
Good Evening Ian,Things are looking up about the place I am sure the cow’s will like it, O and make sure you take your new tablets lol , Take care of yourself and stay safe.🦽🦽🩼🩼⭐️👍👌
Back in time, barns were made of wood or bricks slates etc. Now it's like a Meccarno set with metal beams and nuts and bolts. How times have changed. Interesting vblog 🎉🎉🎉
Here in the South I noticed more northeasterly winds last winter 🤫. I appreciate the work is not cost effective but you cannot put a price on a contented cow. Who knows how much more weight they will put on becase of shelter. I think you are doing the right thing. At last in the winter gales you won't lie in bed feeling sorry for the cows getting wet while they eat! PS Can you not get a part grant for concrete
@@freddeeks5496 Your right, last year I did lie in my cosy bed feeling guilty about them out in a shitty wet yard all winter. Sadly no grant aid for me here, I’m in a “low priority area” and don’t qualify for any part of the project. Without the added income from the channel, I would not be able to do it Fred. It’s you and folks like you that built this cover and the cattle and myself are very grateful, thank you. 🙂
I still don't agree that the covered yard won't make you or the farm any money - think that over time you'll really see the financial benefit in less work, happier animals, better growth rates and things like that. And, always have to remember - aside from potential savings in fuel and/or machinery maintenance (less wear and tear), YOUR time is also worth something! People really tend to forget that sometimes. I mean, just imagine if you had to pay someone to do the things you do - just because you do most of it yourself and don't get any immediate financial compensation for it, it doesn't mean your work is really "free". That said, keeping my finger's crossed the concrete quote won't be too high and you'll get to do both yards this year - I imagine that would be a lot easier than doing it later when the cattle have been back in for the winter.
@@bobreiber2066 They will probably eat more Bob, which should promote Live Weight Gain. A dry feed area is a nicer place to fill up than a wet one. 🙂👍🏼
@@s.m.1959 I don’t often include my own time, your right in saying I should spend less on bedding and labour, but the main driver for this project isn’t to increase production or earn more income, it’s to improve the welfare of our stock. I hope to save a dozen bales of straw a year, and an hour a day in wet weather. I suppose saving some is similar to making some, but if I crunch the numbers, it would take me about 23 years to pay for the project, which is why you folks in “You tube land” have really helped the farm out, without the income from your support, I would not be able to do it. Thank you. 🙂
@@FarmerP oh I get that - you aren't doing it for the money, you do it for animal welfare (primarily). Just saying - all the other bits I and other people mentioned, that's the "unintended side effects." In any case, your humble attitude and how you continuously give credit to your viewers for their support is one of the many reasons I keep watching. 🙂
HI Ian, I know you don't like being out of action but at least now "The Tree Guys" will appreciate what you do when they are not in the yard ,sorting, clearing and tidying up! Oh yeah and scoffing the odd stray cake or meat pie!😅
Nice to see your recovering nicely Ian, i know whats its like to be away from the farm for 6 weeks when i had a hip replacement about six years ago. You say your going to put some hard standing down at a later date maybe next year ? If you can get on and get it all done now or else it will probably never get done, just a thought.

Like you said your only going to do it once but as you said its down to money but will make you life easer

I'm sure the cattle's conduct will be impeccable from now on as a Big "Thank You" for your kindness!
Good morning Farmer P, nice video!!!!! 😊👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent update - all looking very good!
Just doesn't seem right without having a Manitou pilot on the job 😁
@@miketaylor8777 The man was a star Mike 😄👍🏼
@@FarmerP Legend in his lunchtime!
H8 get better soon
It will be the tool you never knew you needed and have missed
Waiting a year for concrete means a higher cost next year.
Agree, Craic On and get the Concreting done 👍

A very good Friday evening to you all
That was a “Cow pat on the back”…keep on shuffling and get well soon!
Well MR, P, the new building is starting to look like something now you are right, a concrete floor would be nice and easy to keep clean.
If its a bad winter you can always put netting up on the north end but I suspect the comment about the bedroom window means you want it open so you can see what they are up too.
@@alexthomson7659 l keep a pair of bins in the upstairs window, I can see into the two lower sheds and keep an eye on the stock.

Yes. I agree with s. m.1959 reference your time and the worth. You will have more space under roof in wet weather. Less wet feed and spoiled hay.
I think the cattle will be happier and healthier if they are a bit warmer and dry during the winter. Probably eat a bit less too.
@@bobreiber2066
They will probably eat more Bob, which should promote Live Weight Gain. A dry feed area is a nicer place to fill up than a wet one. 🙂👍🏼
