    Tom, this past year is not a regular year to judge your stats by….what with Jo, the new baby, all of the construction, replacing the bull, etc. Give yourself a break and wait until things calm down a bit for a true stat to judge by. You’re doing just fine by our standards❤❤❤❤

    I like data and numbers so this video shows what your work/cost benefits are and whether you have been successful. Yes, I would say you did a fine job considering the stress on both the team and the heifers and what a whirlwind year you have been experiencing.

  • @gillianmiller9710
    @gillianmiller9710 3 місяці тому +8

    This video had a lot of educational value for non-farmers. I would dare say quite a few did not know the cows eat the after birth. Provides nutrition to the cow, and is an evolutionary adaptation. Helps remove the scent of birth, helping to lessen chances of detection by predators.

  • @Almightyrastus
    @Almightyrastus 3 місяці тому +13

    I am by no means a farmer or even a country type, having lived and grown up within Nottingham City, but I have spent a lot of time around farms when I was younger as those were most of our holidays, plus I am an engineer so numbers are always good, especially when they have meaning and help to explain what is going on. Thumbs up on this one from me.

  • @Marsha1901
    @Marsha1901 3 місяці тому +5

    Tom, you are a wonderful farmer, you have weathered, the Bale, the creation of a parlour, becoming a father, a wife who has been in and out of hospital and some truly awful weather conditions. You have faced all of that and not just survived but thrived. Give yourself a pat on the back. Give my best wishes to Jo, Harvey and the ginger guy. Love your videos they are a spark of joy and always make me wish I lived close enough to your farm to visit, however I am tucked away down in Kent. All the best and long may you continue to grow and prosper.

You work yourself so hard (too hard if you ask me) and you should rest assured knowing that you’re doing more than enough

  • @spiercephotography
    @spiercephotography 3 місяці тому +3

    You proved you're a great farmer, just by analyzing and looking at the numbers! It's all a learning experience, you've not done the straw method before right? So even just getting half is really great! I never noticed the difference in body type before but now that you mentioned it you're absolutely right.
    I really hope Jo is feeling better and Harvey is doing OK!

  • @GraeMatterz
    @GraeMatterz 3 місяці тому +3

    You're doing a good job Tom! Don't let missing 60% get to you, especially considering this was the first time trying a new method and it's with a small group. As you dial in your procedures and have a larger number of cows for data, the numbers should improve.
    Placentophagy (postpartum consumption of afterbirth) occurs in many species of mammals for several reasons beyond nutrition, one being instinctual to keep from attracting predators to the birth site or nest. More recently it's been discovered that placenta (and amniotic fluid) contains elements that are natural opiod enhancers, and increase pain threshold.
    Love and hugs to Jo. Hope she's better soon.

    Hi Mum, from a fellow loser! Super interesting Tom, shows how much thought and forward planning you have to put into both the beef and dairy sides of stock management and how you cost it out. If you're only out by 10% after the year you've had, I think you should by damn proud of yourself. Next year I have no doubt you'll hit or exceed your target. Give yourself a little grace.
    Excellent video thanks for taking the time to collect and edit the footage, you really tell a story well.

    Hi, i would say you are an awesome farmer. Numbers can not tell the whole story, imo, ie qualitative issues. It's been a hectic time for you and the team so hitting over (50%) i would say is great. To see if you need to improve in areas, then you should for the trial again and then fo comparisons of the data.
    Keep up the good work, as your girls are amazing. Love to joanna and hope she is starting to get on her feet. Phil
