You can’t explain workplace humour to people who 1) don’t work and 2) don’t have a sense of humour ! Pretty sure the girls give as good as they get it’s refreshing to see them in the industry
I think it’s called reading the room… you know the people you work with, not some random “expert” watching on the other side of the road, country, or planet! Keep up the good work, Tom!
Do not change how you do things Tom. I watch your channel because you show the real life of farming. I just want to give a shout-out to your Dad, Luke, and all your workers there. You all keep people fed by all your hard work. God bless you all.😊
Anyone who has watched you since the beginning should know what banter goes on, it's just that, banter and it's a joy to watch. Working the long hours that you all do without it, it would be even longer days. If you know what I mean? 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tom you shouldn’t have to explain yourself ever , any of your subscribers know you and know what a genuine nice family man you are and you love banter at work we all do , but at the same time your professional and it’s obvious to me and many others that if it was serious we would never ever see it to make silly comments, hope all your family are well take care 👍😊
1:24, the most amazing thing about this guy is that he is lung & respiratory proof, & blends in well with the dust & all the environmental elements, no gloves or masks needed, just a willingness to work hard and a unquenchable love for Farming!
Please remember Tom that some of us only follow you on UA-cam. We are not on instagram or tic toc. The information you give on the other platforms, please share with us here. Thank you 😊
Tom you are very lucky with your staff Luke & Anna .Anna is breath of fresh air and we say in Ireland she is great crack. So don't worry keep the fun with all your workers
I agree with allot of the comments here Tom, there is no reason why you should have to explain, or defend your self. Your doing an outstanding job as a farmer with the conditions you work with! All your animals look like there in great conditions! None look lame, or limping profusely! You have great workers, if they make wrong, you don't blast em on video, your professional response to take care of any issues in private!!! They look so calm all laying in there bed/stals!
Tom, I am so glad to hear you say you need to slow down. I worry about you. You take on so much and life is so short. Your family needs you so be kind to yourself.
Happy Cows,Happy Farmer,Happy.Wife,Happy life. Great video. That's the ups and downs of a farmers life. All work and lots of things along the way. Take care of yourself Tom. It's beautiful weather that's probably why the cows love outdoors. Have a blessed week.
Keep up the brilliant videos Tom,some people just don’t understand what it’s like to work with good staff and have good banter,keep on doing what you’re doing fella 👍
Just goes to prove, Happy Cows produce more milk!!! You can tell “the girls” LOVE that shed the way they run in. And Happy Cows mean Happy Farmer. Glad to see you smiling….
Get an empty old Lenor fabric softener bottle to put the bedding powder out I can do about 50 cubicles with a bottle in about 2 mins flat spreads it even and fast also great for spreading grit on pathways !
If you cant have a bit of craic through out the working day,it would be a very boring day,Anna and Katie are great ladies and they know the craic,love the videos Tom keep it up👍
Tom Anna and Katie love working there you can tell bet they are gutted your getting bad feedback they give you more banter than you give them and it’s all in fun great to hear you all getting on working and enjoying it you all are a great team love the videos
Himalayan Rock Salt comes from the Punjab region of Pakistan. As for your working relationship with Katie well she seems a happy wee soul Tom so I wouldn’t read too much into the snowflake shower. Interesting and insightful as always. 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼
I think some people forget that although you and your team let us have a look, some stuff can and should remain private. I love the balance you strike and you and your team seem to enjoy working together so I wouldn't worry what the comments say.
This channel is watched all over the world, piss taking banter isn't the cultural norm in some countries, I could almost guarantee the complaints weren't coming from Brits.
@@DomingoDeSantaClarawell it definitely ain't from kiwis coz if ya sides aren't hurting from laughing & having a joke during the day with team. Can make the day go so much better when weather crappy or thing's are low on farm aye.
Good news (well news to me) for the dairy industry - Pentadecanoic acid! It's an essential fatty acid, which seems to help aging and one of the sources is grass fed dairy products!
When people work together every day it’s the banter and laugh that makes the day. As you say Tom why would you film it if Katie didn’t find it funny. It’s all about context.
I've never worked in a commercial kitchen that doesnt have the same banter that you n Katie have.. Not once did I think.. ah hell he's a bully.. Katie can GIVE every bit as good as she gets..😂😂😂
I think showcasing useful tech and tools is incredible valuable for anyone that has limited funds and is always skeptical as they wont want to lose money.
For the showroom, how about concrete troughs instead of concrete panels. Stick a bit of feed in them as well to encourage the girls to hang around there for people to get up close and personal to the animals?
Our magnet method is PD positive heifer gets a non caged ferrimax magnet, and 2 lact cow get a caged magnet so they don’t stick together and get a larger surface area to prevent wire/other things causing issues.
Great Craic u were having with Katie. People need to chill out and stay in their lanes. Love seeing The Real Boss Mr. Ginger. He’s a bloody Legend. Y’all work great together. Cheers 🍻 Boys!!!!!
Floor! Spent to many hours cleaning out crib feeders. Worst was when we did zero grassing, if it was half a day over the cows wouldn’t eat it.. As for the banter issue it’s modern day snow flakes. Ruining our lives! Keep up the good work!
Love seeing all the happy cows. Can you tell us more about Luke and his New Jersey cows? What’s that about? Also, are we ever gonna get a Q&A video with Luke about him being a Herdsman and what he thinks about the herd and things he wants to improve? Be well be you
LOVE this post Tom very nice to see you not jumping about everywhere all the time. I know you are a very busy man but to see your daily life as it happens so to speak is good, helps take me away from my mundane life sat at a computer all day. 😩 When I lived in a pub the banter when behind the bar was what helped pass the time, sometimes people (small minded people I might add) did get upset but I used to say “there is the door and it’s not locked”.
Tom iv been watching for a couple of years all the progress your a hard worker and your father you should start wearing a mask when your dusting out you may not notice it when you're doing it but it looks bad on camera you have heard of farmers lung we all think we're invincible when we're young
Great video Tom, manual bedding up must be no joke but you've still got the knack (Great wrist action by the way "Ooh Matron" with the shovel of course) 😉 Feeding is feeding, it all depends on location as you said be it floor or trough! I love the fact that Katie gives as good as she gets (Sometimes more when you deserve it, yeah Boy) 😉. The weather has decided the cows should be in now so fingers crossed with the extra room you have set up and the feed quality the milk yields will continue to rise. The cows definitely looked happy now the new clamp shed is keeping the weather off them. As Joe would say "Business"👍.
If anyone is curious about the magnet and what it prevents I suggest watching the Video titled hardwired for the happy hunting ground. I will warn you that its graphic, as it’s a necropsy of a cow who was euthanized after developing some very concerning symptoms of Heart failure. It’s a interesting case study as to why magnets are so important. The audio isn’t great but the information provided is easy to understand if you can get past the wind and lack of wind sock and microphone( he has since purchased and installed both,Lol!
Judging by the video title & poor audio comment, it’s gotta be an “Enoch the Cow Vet” video 😂 Love his work - bit graphic and confronting at times, but incredibly educational.
Redmon brand salt in America is mined from an ancient sea bed, so few pollutants, no micro plastics. Himalayan salts are also from ancient sea beds, different regions have their particular compositions.
Great video Tom. I love the way you and your staff banter back and forth, it’s a trusting relationship and it certainly makes the day go by quicker. Those girls were ready and waiting to come in, oh the dampness. That magnet in the stomach is an interesting concept that I need to read about. Hello Mr. P, love seeing you out and about and keeping your son on his toes. Lol. ❤❤
To see all the cattle lying down in the pens like that goes to show how content they are. The way they rushed in ,they knew where they were and what they wanted. To get them nearly 99%of them asleep in the barn, they are happy out , keep it safe and we'll catch you on the next one 👌🇮🇪
There might be a a few more trace minerals in the rocksalt. I gave the cows rocksalt one year, found they spent to much time licking and not enough time eating, switched to bag salt,I sprinkle it over silage now.
Years ago when I had a powder tanker, I picked up loads of rock salt from Nantwich for Rumenco at Burton. Added to the licks a devil to blow up the silos..
When you do a difficult and or physically demanding job it just comes with banter. We all make mistakes and if we all can have a laugh and carry on work is just that much more enjoyable.
I know people like the video of the cows going out, but this is the time of year I love the bring in of animals and all the hard work paying off for the winter. Love the Video keep up the craic and banter.
I think Katie gives it back as she receives. I normally person can see the two of you are just enjoying working together. Difference in the salts is very minimal. Pink salt is pretty much how it comes from the ground, less refined than some white salt.
You could do with an over-the-side attachment for the scraper that can get in that wet trough. And special cows for the milkshake machine sounds like a good idea 👍
You are right about keeping private any time you need to speak to a member of staff about their work or behaviour - it is the law ! All communication of that nature must only be between the two of you, and must remain private.
you should upgrade your dispenser to a Bobman!!! it will be the best investment you ever made. scrapes, cleans the mats and dispenses lime/sawdust all in one go... i would never go back to manually spreading lime after using the Bobman
Keep up the great work Tom You are who you are, your viewing numbers and subscribers prove your doing it right I survive on humour, I've actually got whitty syndrome, basic use humour at inappropriate times lol Banter and a dig is as good as a PowerPoint lecture at times Makes the work day better As you said, you and everyone else aren't perfect and you take as much as you give So keep doing Love you future video ideas, I'd personally like a little more "farming for dummies" but you can't please all the people all the time lol Take care, hope the family is well Geoff
Tom , please ,please wear a dust mask when shovelling sawdust both yourself and Luke. Just look at your video and see the dust and that’s in the air and going into your lungs . Worked as a joiner all my life and was like you didn’t bother but it tells on you later in life . Sorry for moaning but like your dad it’s the auld experience. Great video as always 👍
Hi Tom, H, and S,, open the gate, move the plug or switch, steps, lam old falls hert, dad will all ways do his best, a lot to PUT up with with, wet wet wet, see you on the next one,
I don't know but a small segment on the difference between dry cows, heifers etc. would be handy. Or even just drop a casual comment in. You might do that already and I've forgotten!
For the rock salt the location is an indication as to what the minerals/impurities it contains, this affects colour, taste, and nutrition. Certain areas produce more desirable salt and different areas produce less desirable salt (salt that contains impurities that tastes bad or negatively affects health). Manufactured salt blocks or powdered feed mix will contain essential minerals and vitamins in a known quantity which may make it easier to ensure proper herd health but it costs extra.
Good video Tom, all your staff are engaged in their work and environment you provide for them, the investment in infrastructure is paying off. Luke has some good ideas , the concrete panel is an easy cheap improvement, Robots for jerseys, might be easier to import milk from Mrs Ashley.😂. I’d be interested in 1st cut quality, probably be your dry cow feed, 2nd and 3rd I would think will be better. The wheels haven’t come off the wheel barrow but the handles have nearly 😂. Cows still out am and pm here but we block calve and have great network of concrete sleeper track which help massively.
Please don’t change Tom we love you just as you are
You can’t explain workplace humour to people who 1) don’t work and 2) don’t have a sense of humour ! Pretty sure the girls give as good as they get it’s refreshing to see them in the industry
It's not just don't work, they just will not work to warm themselves
Us girls can be the worst with our sense of humour 🤣. Just ❤️ the banter!
Good to see Luke getting more involved in the videos
I think it’s called reading the room… you know the people you work with, not some random “expert” watching on the other side of the road, country, or planet! Keep up the good work, Tom!

Well said chap.
i have over 40 staff work for me on my farm and we all have a laugh with each other its good to have a laugh because farming can get very stressful
Same in Sweden! Take Care Folks on a big farm from 13 persons Swedish farm, right now! Yours Peter Eriksson Orsa, Dalarna, Sweden 😊😅😊!

He just upped and left his wife and tiny baby, so seems like he pretty happy to ‘look after himself’. Messy farm, messy home life by all accounts….
@@Hugo51079 I don’t think this is the place to out Tom on his personal circumstances. It has nothing to do with his UA-cam.
@@jamesduggan1410well, he and his ex announced it on instagram so it’s public and he’s a public figure whether he likes it or not. Really grim…
@Hugo51079 what a prick you are!!
Look out for you and yours Tom. No one else will. Be good to yourself and hold your family close.
Hole family close, is that a joke? 😂

Banter, lighten up folks. She can give as good as she gets. Katie, Luke and staff do an excellent job.
Beautiful, happy cows!
Never, ever thought you were doing anything but „kidding“ (like cracking) Katie. The look on her face says she enjoys the banter.

Hope your doing OK too Tom.
I always liked floor feeding as long as the cows didn't walk on it. It is much easier to clean up. Great videos Tom.
Cows do look really well Tom. Credit where credit is due boy.👍🏻👍🏻
This was one of my favorite videos you’ve made in the last few months! Great work!

Good video Tom, lots going on always plenty to do on the farm. I don't believe you would bully anyone you just have fun, that's what it is all about!

Tom, well done ....sure we all don't need to know or see everything in your life or the cow's ...Thanks again special video you set up.
Years ago when I had a powder tanker, I picked up loads of rock salt from Nantwich for Rumenco at Burton. Added to the licks a devil to blow up the silos..
We have put a coating on the floor in front of the cows where we dispense the grass silage. It keeps it way fresher, maybe a tip for you Tom
Don't worry about trying to explain everything. People just want to watch
I love the banter please keep it up as long as she loves it too .
I love this magnet idea. My grandpa spent hours wandering his pasture for metal all the time.😊❤
When you do a difficult and or physically demanding job it just comes with banter. We all make mistakes and if we all can have a laugh and carry on work is just that much more enjoyable.
Love ya work, Tom
Thanks for the video Tom
It’s always a good video
However
it’s a great video if we see some cows.
BeWell and StaySafe ✌️
Glad to see eveything is OK, was worried when there was no Tuseday video this week. It is pretty clear that your flat out nowadays.
I've been watching you channel for years and never seen you bully eneybody
I know people like the video of the cows going out, but this is the time of year I love the bring in of animals and all the hard work paying off for the winter. Love the Video keep up the craic and banter.
Don’t ever change hope all is well
I think Katie gives it back as she receives. I normally person can see the two of you are just enjoying working together. Difference in the salts is very minimal. Pink salt is pretty much how it comes from the ground, less refined than some white salt.
You could do with an over-the-side attachment for the scraper that can get in that wet trough.
And special cows for the milkshake machine sounds like a good idea 👍
Keep doing what you've always done, warts and all. Always entertaining. Did I miss Tuesdays video??
Well done Tom and Crew ..... O Those Cows were ready to come in to feed and comfort.
Great vid nice to see Luke a bit more in it the A team..it's a shame when you can't have a bit of banter with someone..
I miss y’all family walk with moon and baby boy ❤
Contented cow's great job guys🤠🐄🐄🐄😊
You are right about keeping private any time you need to speak to a member of staff about their work or behaviour - it is the law ! All communication of that nature must only be between the two of you, and must remain private.
Katie gives as well as she gets. Never change and I'm sure Katie has said the same. Best Tom, Ginger, Luke, etc
loved this video showing everyday things keep it up tom
you should upgrade your dispenser to a Bobman!!! it will be the best investment you ever made. scrapes, cleans the mats and dispenses lime/sawdust all in one go... i would never go back to manually spreading lime after using the Bobman
Thanks for slowing down a bit! Sometimes the accent gets a bit thick..,
Loved seeing the cow brushes! 🇨🇦
Keep up the great work Tom
You are who you are, your viewing numbers and subscribers prove your doing it right
I survive on humour, I've actually got whitty syndrome, basic use humour at inappropriate times lol
Banter and a dig is as good as a PowerPoint lecture at times
Makes the work day better
As you said, you and everyone else aren't perfect and you take as much as you give
So keep doing
Love you future video ideas, I'd personally like a little more "farming for dummies" but you can't please all the people all the time lol
Take care, hope the family is well
Geoff
Down side of feeding from the floor, ideally have clean access, the wheels drag mess into the feeding area.
Oh Jaysus Tom that wheelbarrow! 🤣🤣🤣
Just watched Sundays video. What a great job.
Tom , please ,please wear a dust mask when shovelling sawdust both yourself and Luke. Just look at your video and see the dust and that’s in the air and going into your lungs . Worked as a joiner all my life and was like you didn’t bother but it tells on you later in life . Sorry for moaning but like your dad it’s the auld experience. Great video as always 👍
Hi Tom, H, and S,, open the gate, move the plug or switch, steps, lam old falls hert, dad will all ways do his best, a lot to PUT up with with, wet wet wet, see you on the next one,
Great video Tom. 👍😊👍
I don't know but a small segment on the difference between dry cows, heifers etc. would be handy. Or even just drop a casual comment in. You might do that already and I've forgotten!
Be careful; with the saw dust - wear a mask. that MDF dust is bad stuff for the lungs
Keep up what you are doing. Always interesting
For the rock salt the location is an indication as to what the minerals/impurities it contains, this affects colour, taste, and nutrition. Certain areas produce more desirable salt and different areas produce less desirable salt (salt that contains impurities that tastes bad or negatively affects health). Manufactured salt blocks or powdered feed mix will contain essential minerals and vitamins in a known quantity which may make it easier to ensure proper herd health but it costs extra.
Happy cows
Incase you wondered if you lost the sawdust shaking action Tom. You still got it! Must be like riding a bike !
Tom you’re awesome x
Good video Tom, all your staff are engaged in their work and environment you provide for them, the investment in infrastructure is paying off. Luke has some good ideas , the concrete panel is an easy cheap improvement, Robots for jerseys, might be easier to import milk from Mrs Ashley.😂.
I’d be interested in 1st cut quality, probably be your dry cow feed, 2nd and 3rd I would think will be better.
The wheels haven’t come off the wheel barrow but the handles have nearly 😂.
Cows still out am and pm here but we block calve and have great network of concrete sleeper track which help massively.
Bravo on your 28.8! Well done Tom❤
