The Ginger one must be so proud of Tom. Not only is he hard working, all the changes he makes have the cows welfare at heart, his passion for farming shines through. He has opened up my eyes to trials and tribulations of farming. I enjoy his content so much that I would gladly buy him a coffee/pint to contribute to his dream pick up. Does anyone know if he has a buy me a coffee link?
What your farm does, is demonstrate traceability - for your milk, and beef as well. Your family cares for the land, which directly affects both the milk and beef produced for your family’s farm shop. This benefits your family directly, just as much as it benefits the whole planet!
Cannot get enough of this channel. Very well done, being a chef I love watching the core elements and how well treated animals make better for the plate. I’d love to see a staff appreciation/introduction video from whoever in the office/farm shop/yard. Team work makes the dream work
“Sandi Brock” a UA-cam sheep farmer in Canada, uses a portable scanning wand with RFI ear tags to track anything health related via computer. I’m aware that you’re trying to modernize your great farm operation. I love watching your progress. Great job!
Came upto the farm shop yesterday for a visit. Got my merchandise and a few other bits. Had a coffee in carpark watching people coming and going with the wife. Great little place.
Tom - having the worst day at work. Your video has made a huge difference today and over the past 5 months to my personal well being. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the education. I live in Pasadena Ca. I venture to say it would be hard for me to even find a farm to visit without it being an adventure. I've learned so much from your vids.and appreciate the time and effort it takes to create and present these well organised vids.
The arrowquip crush seems an amazing addition to the farm! How great that you can easily monitor their weights now too. It’s interesting to hear what weights you like for them before they go to the shop.
Your new Arrowquip chute looks good and works well. Can't ask for more than that! I'm always impressed by your striving to make the cows' lives better. Keep it up...and thank you for all the videos!
I love seeing your comment enthusiasm and care for your animals , this is why I get soo angry when certain members of society accuse all farmers of miss treating animals ! Keep up the great work . Heading to Scotland in May , I'm planning on making a diversion via your shop 😀
Contact huskvac and get hold of the yellow extensions for the bottles, saves loosing the bottle down a throat and gives you more to hang onto while you're doing it, works a treat.
What a fantastic bit of kit Tom, really really nice to watch the ladies walk through nice and calm, Luke was a legend on that one, great job, the head lock did look a bit low, can that be raised, the one with the pretty face comment through me for a bit, had rewound video a few times before I realised who you ment, hehe, the area were your working looks so good now, nice and clean, tidy I remember when that was a bit messy, thx for showing,great job once again, just a quick one, I’ve seen a patchwork mat of reused car tyre pieces, which fit down the Shute and a square mat section put down at the exit, to give the girls a bit more grip, keeps them safer as they jump out over that sternum bar on the floor, maybe someone local has something similar over there, cheers Tom, keep smiling ( pretty face ),lol
Tom you were so happy when you’re out there with your cows and believe me the cows realize that you were taking good care of them. Just watching them go through the shoot rather plaid the foot bath I’m sure feels good and know that you’re giving them medicines to keep them safe makes them very happy. It makes my Tuesday when I get to see a Tom Pemberton video. Please tell your lovely wife hello. A fan from Mississippi.
I like how you are interested in every aspect of the thing. including before and after cattle. that makes your farm a special place where nice people, genuinly interested in what they are doing and how they are doing it, find a place to work. At the end your angus cattle is for making great steaks amd that´s how you get the best out of it. good job.
dairy farmer from canada here, nice to see how things are done across the pond, i milk 95 cows, feed baled haylage alfalfa grass mix around 25% moisture and farm a total of 1500ac, i grow all my own grains and run it through a grain mill to a pair of lely robots. i also pasture my girls in the summer for 4 hours a day
For Our Non Farming Viewers / Members = The Huskvac vaccine is one of the best ways to prevent lungworm and build up resistance. It's a two dose vaccine given four weeks apart that can be used in animals eight weeks or over. Animals can then be turned out two weeks later. Hope this helps anyone
I love that you don't finish your beef with grain. I am excited that the aeroquip system works on a farm such as yours. I have only seen the system used on a ranch of 200 head .
Tom, a very wise decision to get the Arrowquip chute. You’re likely thinking of other possible uses for it. I can see you also looking at what corral fencing you have and possibly upgrading it to allow for more flexible usage. ATB!
You are an amazing young man Tom you love your job you get super excited to see your ladies and adore seeing them use the brushes your committed to the herds welfare and well being and your super enthusiastic about new machinery I’d just like to know if you could send me a bottle of your energy lol hope your mum and dad and Joanna are all good take care keep safe x
Tom I don't think you have ever taken us into the butcher shop on your farm. I am sure I am not alone in the fact that we would love to see your set up
Great to see the future taking big interest in the care of your wonderful cows 🐄 keep up the great work Team Tom Nice to see how easy the new bit of green kit works 👍
That was an extremely interesting video and the way in which you treated all the animals was excellent. I also liked the way you washed the Arrowquip down afterwards I guess making sure no infections are passed on. It was an education in how to manage cattle in the correct way. Thanks Tom 🐄
Nice job Tom and Luke, I would have thought that the medication would have come in some sought of bottle that could be digested by the cow just in case you accidentally let go of it, anyway the system of foot bath, weighing, and giving the medication worked beautifully, 10 out of 10 for that, 👍👍🐄.
Tom, you were so happy when you were out there with your cows, and believe me, the cows know you were taking good care of them. Just watching them go through the shoot rather than the foot bath must feel good, and knowing you're giving them medicines to keep them safe makes them very happy. It makes my Tuesday when I get to see a Tom Pemberton video. Please tell your lovely wife hello.
Over here in the states, we usually figure hanging weight (carcass weight) is usually about 60-65% of live weight. Can get a pretty close estimate of what it'll be while still on the hoof. Packaged percentage is about 40-45% of an animal's live weight.....or there abouts! Really enjoy the videos....keep up the good work!
Hi Tom. When yoir weighing the cows. Doesn't your box record it. The one on our crush records it. You put ear tag number in, record weight. Then next time you put it through. Tells how much put on each day. Then you connect to your phone to download it all
I'm totally a numbers person. Seeing those numbers helps with being consistent with your product. You can make minor adjustments to their diet to make sure they aren't to fatty or to lean based on the living weight and dead weight. Knowing those numbers over time, you can make adjustments in their weight and their lean profile. And eventually you could set aside certain cattle, for restaurants, as a premium line by feeding or finishing them with different grain/grasses. I know in the states, some restaurants like to choose their cattle. And showing those numbers to them, you can offer them specialty beef. Not that I know how you run your farm. I am just an analyst/process manager for my company and think of ways to profit more.
Your animals and you have a very nice understanding. Happy cows! You are very good at your job. (Ain't gonna bug you on the tyre pressure on this one.. Oh wait.. :P )
Arrowquip. An amazing Canadian made product. Glad to see a company from my country being so successful around the world. Have you seen the full setup Sonne Farms just purchased and installed Tom? 18ft sorting tub, load out, double 10ft shoot, and hydraulic head shoot. Bet your loving that laying down bar I the middle to keep the ladies on their feet in there.
@@TomPembertonFarmLife it isn't as big as you'd think. But they work Angus bulls and breeding cows/heffers. Your manual arrowquip is amazing. It will suit your farm amazingly. It's been great to see where your taking the farm. Can't wait to see more to come.
@@TomPembertonFarmLife well your trying sure seems like succeeding from my outside looking in perspective. keep doing what your doing and be proud of what you do and I know you will be infinitly successful. Your chanel made me interested in farming. And showed me how invested farmers really are. So thank you for sharing your life with the world. I appreciate it, and I know thousands of others appreciate it as well.
You are right about the beef being best when you know where it's come from you know where it's been bread and you know what it's been fed especially all that good grass of yours and those other tasly thing'd you gave them
Tom have you thought about a tag reader? But also tru-test do a management software to register each animal and saves the weights and you can follow there weight increase with a graph. Also think of upgrading your tru-test weigher to Tru-Test EziWeigh7i Weigh Scale Indicator which should link up to the tru test tag reader so no more typing tags as they work together. I'm in the process of getting the Tru-Test EziWeigh7i Weigh Scale Indicator as already have the tag reader.
A cracking piece of equipment enabling monitoring and various husbandry tasks to be carried out efficiently and safely for cattle and operators. It is certainly taking the guess work out of the beef enterprise you can zone in on optimin weight which is good for quality of product and feed costs I would say. Thank you for the video.
Brilliant little system you had going through the foot bath and crush mate! Did the mighty ginge want a kiss from the cow? he was wrestling, lol. It made me giggle. Jo, where were you? We missed your bookkeeping skills.
Good video Tom nice to see the new crush in operation it works well and definitely nice have a scale on for check weights keep give use great videos and great content 👏👏👍👍
Another productive day on the Pemberton Farm. I hate thinking about the animals "going to the shop", but you know I will stand in line inside the shop for some juicy steaks.
Interesting to hear of the Lung Worm Tom -maybe Hide’s can tell us more about it and the impact. Would like to see about the drying off / psycho’s calf you mentioned. Keep up the hard work and great videos !
Good afternoon Tom I really enjoy your videos from here in Kansas in the USA. You are so up to speed on the newest and shiniest why are you writing down weights of animals? Why don’t you have a Gallagher or some electronic device to track everything?
To get maximum beneficial effect the cattle want vaccinating twice before spring turnout. I have forgotten the intervals between doses and time delay post second dose before first spring turnout. Therefore cattle are normally much smaller and easier to handle. You also have to realise that the source of the lungworm in the first place is the adult cattle on the farm. It is in my view debatable whether they become immune as they grow older or can simply tolerate some level of infection.
Thinking about a small version for my llamas. They have caused me a couple of ‘minor’ injuries in the past. Like having 150 kilo llama squash you against a gate. Ouch!! Loved watching the progress. All the best you from central France
Hi Tom, I really enjoy the video, so keep it up! What would help with the arrowquip is a handle welded to the rim of the wheel to help you left them in and out of the box section. 👍💪
A fantastic bit of kit, which must have had a lot of hours in the design stage, and lots of knowledge of what was needed and means of operation, and how to simplify all operating methods ( simple sliding handles etc ), then listening to the end user farmers, working with them to produce what looks to be pretty close to the rolls royce of animal handling systems.
Tom, can't you link an RF-ID to the weight cell to record the cows weights automatically as the cows pass go through the box. This would make the job a single man operation and remove human errors. Normally on this type of system, you can link the unit with WI-FI to a PC or your phone to collect the data.
You could do with a clipboard mount for the side of your crush to make it easier to write down info, plus maybe some rubber matting for the cows to exit it!!
The Ginger one must be so proud of Tom. Not only is he hard working, all the changes he makes have the cows welfare at heart, his passion for farming shines through. He has opened up my eyes to trials and tribulations of farming. I enjoy his content so much that I would gladly buy him a coffee/pint to contribute to his dream pick up.

I’ll have to check this out! 😊
I was thinking of Sandi’s Gallagher system, all info in one place.
SAME!!! Her Gallager would be so amazing for your farm management tasks!!!
Came to say this too! Lol
It's called a Gallagher. Awesome piece of equipment. Great for record keeping on each animal!
Came upto the farm shop yesterday for a visit. Got my merchandise and a few other bits. Had a coffee in carpark watching people coming and going with the wife. Great little place.
Thanks so much for coming😊 Might have a plan coming soonish for people to visit 😬😊

I love seeing your comment enthusiasm and care for your animals , this is why I get soo angry when certain members of society accuse all farmers of miss treating animals ! Keep up the great work .
Heading to Scotland in May , I'm planning on making a diversion via your shop 😀
That was very interesting and showed great tenacity to keep the ladies healthy and the beefers is looking really healthy!! Cheers
Gotta love it when a great piece of kit makes the work that much easier and better for the cattle as well. Smashing it👍👍. Great job Tom
Such respect for the animals that make our food!
Footbath, meds and care, all for the ladies ❤. Good job everybody and keep the videos comming.
Contact huskvac and get hold of the yellow extensions for the bottles, saves loosing the bottle down a throat and gives you more to hang onto while you're doing it, works a treat.
Heard about this. Never seen one though 🤷♂️
ua-cam.com/video/n4mygDXwpdg/v-deo.html
At a minute in shows them - very useful
I'll have a look and see if I have any spares, you're welcome to a couple if you want them.
Defo, it's way easier than just the bottle. They usually supply 1 per so many doses
Super fun to see the new crush in operation...SMOOTH! 😎

Your dad must be very proud, is he?
Thanks so much 😊
I hope so 🙈
A great setup Tom. Luke was a great find. Very hard to find a good man like him. Mind him Tom. I know you will. Such a pity about the Highland.
😊

Watching you do cow work from anything in the old way yes thumbs up and also less stress on the cows. Money well spent Tom.

lungworm means wet land.. the host of the parasite is a little snail..
like that crunch
Makes sense getting late on on the season
Wonderful to see your investment in kit doing a great job, making your lives easier & cows healthier. Well done!
It’s great when it all works 😊
Nothing like a good weighing. Old farmer friend of mine always says “Jonny Avery will tell the tale” 🤣🤣

Lovely cattle crush Tom. Great video 👍🚜
"Helen got to see how it works"
Now we want to see how the farm shop works. How much is done on the farm and local suppliers
Thanks 😊
I like that the cows seem calm going through that contraption, i’m sure they get better each time.
💯
Great video Tom really enjoyed seeing the new piece of kit in use 🚜👍🏻🐄
Thanks 😊
Always enjoy your content mate 👍🏻🚜🐄
It’s all about the numbers. This can only improve your farm productivity. Thank you for sharing.🐄🐂🐄🐂
So amazing to watch your progress, and hear of your plans to improve. Such an inspiration!!!
Very kool unit I'm sure it makes things so much easier always like seeing you care for the cows 🐄
Yet another GREAT video Tom Very vvery informative CHEERS
Luke seems to be a GREAT cow wrestler!!
Wow, your cows are very clean!!

Just wondering Tom but would it be easier to put the meds in a syringe and squirt it into there mouth!?
Interesting to hear of the Lung Worm Tom -maybe Hide’s can tell us more about it and the impact.
Would like to see about the drying off / psycho’s calf you mentioned.
Keep up the hard work and great videos !
Maybe adjust the head lock upwards ,would really make things a little easier on you and the cow when administering the meds!
Caramba, each dose looked like a wrestling match requiring plenty of strength. Respect lads👏
We have tubes that screw onto the little bottles less chance of dropping it 👍
Need this!
Well done tom and Luke another important job looks easy
Good afternoon Tom I really enjoy your videos from here in Kansas in the USA. You are so up to speed on the newest and shiniest why are you writing down weights of animals? Why don’t you have a Gallagher or some electronic device to track everything?
Awsome video Tom as always the Arrowquip is a great bit of kit Tom keep them coming stay safe 👍☝️
Thanks 😊
Q catch for the win And the cows seem to enjoy it to .
You are the master of that crush Tom, they should use you for advertising
Miss seeing the Ginge about. Hope he is ok and just relaxing for a bit. I love Tuesdays so I can see some happy cow!!
I’ll get him on 😊
To get maximum beneficial effect the cattle want vaccinating twice before spring turnout. I have forgotten the intervals between doses and time delay post second dose before first spring turnout. Therefore cattle are normally much smaller and easier to handle.
You also have to realise that the source of the lungworm in the first place is the adult cattle on the farm. It is in my view debatable whether they become immune as they grow older or can simply tolerate some level of infection.
4 weeks we have to wait 😊
You can get yellow screw on spouts for that husvac, saves your fingers a bit 😉
Thinking about a small version for my llamas. They have caused me a couple of ‘minor’ injuries in the past. Like having 150 kilo llama squash you against a gate. Ouch!!
Loved watching the progress. All the best you from central France
Hi Tom, I really enjoy the video, so keep it up! What would help with the arrowquip is a handle welded to the rim of the wheel to help you left them in and out of the box section. 👍💪
Rim of the wheel? 🙈
You should do a video about the beef cow's From slaughter to packaging
A spectacular piece of machinery there! :D
Good afternoon Tom
Heyyyy
A fantastic bit of kit, which must have had a lot of hours in the design stage, and lots of knowledge of what was needed and means of operation, and how to simplify all operating methods ( simple sliding handles etc ), then listening to the end user farmers, working with them to produce what looks to be pretty close to the rolls royce of animal handling systems.
Thanks Tom 🤗
Tom, can't you link an RF-ID to the weight cell to record the cows weights automatically as the cows pass go through the box. This would make the job a single man operation and remove human errors. Normally on this type of system, you can link the unit with WI-FI to a PC or your phone to collect the data.
This would be great!!
Thank you.
You could do with a clipboard mount for the side of your crush to make it easier to write down info, plus maybe some rubber matting for the cows to exit it!!
Great idea about the clip board mount!!
greta video tom would you be able to show some of the butcher side of your farm
