breaks my heart watching... had a bull on the farm for 8 years and came out in the morning and found him dead, only to find out it was heart failure. The relationship you can build with such an aninal is insane. Greeting from Norway.
That's farming mate. You can't let him suffer and you're doing the right thing. The shoulder injury is something they never seem to come back from. He has given you plenty of quality stock and he has had a good life with you.
5 days letting him sit there.....was not allowing him to suffer?
@@devtrash well you need to give it time to see if there going to recover no different to humans sometimes gets worse before it gets better and bulls ain’t cheap so would be stupid to just go putting things down as soon as they were sick
@@devtrash What are you talking about.....They found him lame out at pasture, he has a history of going lame so they gave him a day there before bringing him back to the farm to keep an eye on him, they asked for the professionals to come and have a look at him as they suspected it may be his shoulder, the hoof guy and the vet. These pros do not come out in 10 mins as they are always fully booked and very busy as there are not many about. The vet advised them to give him a few days to see if he improved. It's not like you can throw a 1000kg bull in the back of the car and nip down to A&E for an Xray, nor is it safe to start messing with an injured anmal of this size without it being restrained. The bull had been up and eating and even trying to serve. Once they all came to the same diagnosis the decision was made to put him down. This requires a licienced slaughterman by law, again very busy and not many around so a 24hour wait for him was not bad at all actually. It is clear that Tom has the upmost respect for all his animals, cares and provides for them far above what most pet owners do. You can't just run out and shoot a prized bull in the field the moment there is a problem there is a process to undertake which with animals of this size takes time. Many people have no idea how the countryside works, this is why this channel is an excellent education tool on the reality of farming.
@@stevenjohns7017 What a great answer,... I totally agree with you. Some ppl think its just easy to cull animals... they dont understand the process or paperwork involved. As you said, Tom gave Neptune a bit of time to recover but it just got worse (or at least stayed the same) so started the process of getting a slaughterman to the farm to take care of him... Again... What a great answer you gave, Thank you.
@@devtrash You obviously have no idea how things work in the animal husbandry industry.. maybe just stop with your arm chair stock managment.
We’ll all miss Neptune but to leave him in pain isn’t right. You’re being a responsible owner.
It's a shame he went lame, but you have been a great owner and cared for him. Had to have my cat Buddy put down last year. He was 20 yrs old, so I have some feeling of what you are going through. RIP Neptune.
Neptune is a legend. Please consider having his portrait done and have prints we can buy from the shop. We will all miss hearing about his exploits on the farm. Very 😢
I find myself surprisingly upset over this. Beautiful animal and you guys had a fantastic relationship with Neptune. We'll miss the big lad as well Tom. Keep your head up buddy. Your rainbow is gonna shine soon enough.
Same
Sad thing is they're not pets in our society.
Couldn’t say it better myself 👍
I am also very sad to know he has to be destroyed. What a painful thing to have happened. Poor guy, he was such a Champ in his time.
@@oscarwheatley684 Even if he was a pet he has an injury that cannot be repaired. He is in pain. It's a mercy.
Such a sad day - he had a good life on the farm, he had such a nice temprement because he was happy and you cared for him.
You should be vary proud, shows how much you care for all your animals and farming.
Great bull
Thanks Tom for showing REAL farm life. We cannot save them all and we definitely cannot let them suffer. His quality of life with you has been amazing. Best call for him❤
Some might think that being a farmer makes it easier to deal with the loss of an animal. As you have clearly shown, it doesn't. They aren't pets, but if we are honest with ourselves, we often afford them as much affection as we would a dog or a cat in our homes. Especially when they are as special as Neptune was. You looked after him well. Very well indeed. In return, he served you well. Putting him out of his misery was both professional and kind.
Very well said Andrew.
I agree. This is how livestock should be treated. With dignity, respect and professionalism.
WTF. They're literally raised to be sent to a slaughterhouse. There is no affection or dignity in that.
@@rabidL3M0NS I have to agree.. You couldn't pay me enough to be a farmer, actually.
@@owlthepirate5997 i think like this too, then i see videos of lions eating baboons and other animals while they are still alive, and think yeah we are not that bad.
Whether in the fields, the barn or at our feet, the animals we care for find a spot in our hearts. Excellent post/point
It’s tough to see an animal hurt. But Neptune not being in pain is important. Tough but the right decision.
Damn, that's a tough one to watch... Absolutely adored Neptune. He is such a beautiful animal but never in my life have I seen a bull limping like that and I think that shows how much pain he must have been in and that you made the right decision.
Not from a farming background I’m a 44 year old trucker 6ft 2inch 20plus Stone and this moved me to tears for you Tom as the love and care you show all your animals is all there to see. Rest easy Neptune
That was a hard watch, must have been even harder to make. You could see and feel the emotion Tom. It's plain for all to see you always put the health and wellbeing of your cows first
Tom, this is the first video where I cried. Growing up on a dairy farm, I understand your grief. Neptune was an exceptional bull, both in deposition and physical presence. He will be missed by your UA-cam family 😢
I am crying here. Poor Neptune. We will miss him too. You’ve done the right thing.
We were so sad to hear about Neptune, so tonight we decided to have Black Angus Burgers in his memory and raised 1 in a toast to him. Thank you Neptune for all the fun clips, but even more so for all the beautiful babies you have given this world! 💖🌺🐃🌺💖
My sister's grandson raises cows to show at the fairs, livestock competitions and shows and when something happens and one of them get hurt or sick, it breaks his heart. It is easy to get attached to them as he learns their personalities, so when they hurt, he hurts too. He has shown many young cows at these events and he has numerous trophies and ribbons. He was even rewarded with a personalized buckle, for one of his showings, he was SO proud of that cowboy buckle! 👍😁
I’m sorry you and your dad had to make this decision. I wasn’t going to watch this, but I’m glad I did. Very nice tribute! I’m a grown a$$ man, about your dads age, and watched this with a tear in my eye.
😢
Me too I had tears in my eyes to.
He is globally loved and admired. Be proud you have his calf's to continue his legacy. Sincerest condolences.
As someone who just found the channel literally today and has no background of Neptune, I'm sitting here crying like a baby. Love that quote - "You'll never see the rainbow without the rain". Sad but it is life. Makes me happy to know that you gave him a few days with cake to send him off. I don't know anything about farm life but I'm going to subscribe just to tune in to see the main characters and their stories
This brought back the memories of when I had to get my Great Dane put to sleep. So sad but as you said "you can't see a rainbow without having rain". Shows how much you care.
Aw Neptune 😔 going to miss that boy, he is awesome 💔
You tried. You put his overall welfare first. He was in enough pain to send him totally off his legs, that shows how bad it was.
An upsetting video but one we still need to see and I'm always glad you show everything warts and all.
A legend, you have his offspring so you've good Gene's in your herd. I look forward to meeting the next fella 🧡
Playing catch-up on your vlogs and just finished watching this one. I'm so sorry for the loss of Neptune. He was an awesome bull and I always admired how a bull of his size was such a placid animal and never seemed rushed about anything. He was a gem 💎. My heart aches for ya Tom. Neptune can't be replaced, though I'm sure you'll find another bull for the farm and hopefully its temperament will be similar. RIP Neptune.
aww sad day, RIP Neptune, thank you for loving him and taking his pain in account, and not letting him suffer 😢😊
The man the myth the legend Rest in peace my man 😔💪🐃
It looks like heaven will need to reenforce a cloud for the big guy. He deserves the best. RIP neptune! Poor boy. My heart goes out to you all! Hes left a remarkable legacy behind for sure. Your next bull will have a huge role to fill. I know its farm life and ive been through it countless times, but it still hits hard regardless.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Watch all your videos, Tom, but have never previously commented. RIP Neptune, 'the man, the myth, the legend'. Having owned a variety of animals over the years - from Silke hens through alpacas to donkeys and ponies - I can concur that it's NEVER easy losing an animal, however big (or small!). However, the reason I've been moved to comment today is your latest UA-cam post. Breaking news like this to people who farm is one thing, but breaking it to the countless thousands who DON'T, requires a sensitive approach, and for what its worth, I think you carried it off with 'aplomb'.
@Hello Simon how are you doing
Beautiful Neptune so sad ☹️ I cried 😭 rest easy Neptune
Heart broken for you mate. Always sad seeing the bull go. We had one go last year after a 10 year career with us and the first bull I ever brought to the farm.
So sorry Tom. Thanks for the tears. People say you need to be tough as a farmer. But when we spend that much time with our critters it’s hard(heartbreaking) to let them go. Even if it’s what’s best. Especially when there your fav. RIP Neptune
NEPTUNE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED!!!!
Tom, thanks for sharing the Neptune journey with everyone around the world.
No matter how long you've farmed when you lose a favorite its a sad day. Rest easy big guy.
Has it been 3 to 4 years since you had him. I remember watching the video of you brining him back to the farm. Sorry for your loss mate. The boi, The Legend Neptune. Your work is done your time to run wild and run far is here you will never be forgot and you will always be with us.
He seemed to be such a gentle giant. And he did his job very well. Big love to the Pemberton farm family.
Ahh Tom I’m so sorry for your lost, Neptune will always be a legend 🥰
I am actually crying 😢, R.I.P our friend, gone but never forgotten 😢
It might just be the way he's lying on it but as ambulance staff; that straight on shot at 8:25 tells a big story - you see that left shoulder appeara significantly swollen and the anatomy appears mis-shapen to me. In humans we would say that would be enough to suspect a fracture/dislocation.
Its a shame, but like you say, in a bull that size with that much weight through his legs it's never going to heal properly and he will be in a lot of pain (which from what viewers have said on other videos I understand may cause fertility issues)
He will be missed, but its for the best.
I've worked with livestock a lot of my life and I agree that it does look dislocated or broken. Something was hiding under that swelling that I don't think was fixable in an animal of his size
Yep, probably a shattered scapula by the looks of it. Radial nerve involvement too perhaps. Not a good prognosis in such a massive bull.
Yeah defiantly dislocation
Awh he will be missed Neptune was a great character for you to have around the farm he will be greatly missed
Sorry for loss…never seen such a gentle giant like your Neptune… Rest In Peace
‘Big boy’
Bless you Neptune. You were one of the good ones.
So sorry Tom - yes, this is part of farming, but he really was something pretty special.❤️😔😢
Tom, you gave Neptune the best life! He's a star and keep fond memories of this dear boy with you always.
Man this brought back memories, we used to have 150+ Belgian blue’s . Saw the aftermath of a 1100 kg bull snap his leg in half once. There was no waiting. Poor dude was in the slaughterhouse less then an hour after it happend. Financially it also was quite the blow. Best of luck, was really heartwarming that you gave him a few days and gave him a goodbye
Oh jeez, you hate to see it but sometimes that’s one of the inevitability of doing dairy farming…sad truly sad
@@Choujifangirl we didn’t do dairy. raised the cattle for beef. Hence Belgian blue, there so chuncky even at birth we had to c section every single calf into existence. Really huge breed. But I never heard of them being milked. Mostly people use Holstein around here for dairy
@@ohgodbeesno ahh i see
What on earth induced you to raise Belgian Blue? I don't think they'll be around much longer, it's simply unethical.
Oh we had em from 1985 to 2003-2004. Being from Belgium. Pretty much different times. I don’t think the economical perspective of the breed was as good understood as these days. There is a reason why I say we had em, instead or have em 😂
Such a shame Tom so sorry to see him go he’s been a star you gave him a good life . Keep the videos coming and Happy Farming
Reminds me of our neighbors beloved 'Cricket'.
Coal Black coat, textbook conformation, 12 years of successfully servicing the lady's. Liked people, Loved his human family, fan-freaking-tastic disposition.
As handsome a gentleman in the pasture covered in muck as he was when winning ribbons in the show ring. His great, great grand nephew took over for him.
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind Tom, and this is definitely one of those times. You took great care of him, like you do with all your animals but you had to let him go to stop his pain. He was a smashing lad and will be missed. R.I.P Neptune 💔💔
Poor Neptune. You’ve given him a great 3 - 4 years, and as tough as the decision had to be, it’s for the best to not have him suffer
I'm not crying, your crying 😢. Gutted for you. I enjoyed watching his journey for the last few years.
The loss of such a valuable bull (farm wise, friend-wise), I know you and he had a special relationship. He had a grand life and was loved the world over, will definitely miss that big black Angus. I have enjoyed your videos for over a year now, always upbeat and informative, we sometimes forget this is your real life day to day with the highs and lows, and today you shared what had to be a tough one. Thank you Tom and your dad for sharing in the “Reality” of farming. Will tip my glass tonight to the Legend of Neptune the big black Angus of Pemberton Farms.
I have genuinely cried watching this, so sorry for Neptune and all at the farm.
I love listening to you Tom because I'm a farmer and u help me learn and u help me woth my depression when I feel down because u make me laugh
and we also get to learn something useful from him on how to maintain buildings and cattle and he also helps me with my depression he is a great guy who knows fairly well what todo with problems
Thank you for being a farmer mate. I would love to be a farmer but just don’t have a farm. One thing I have learnt from Tom and Clarkson (I thought I would never say that before) is it’s not easy being a farmer.
Thank you Neptune for the hours of enjoyment/education you have given us on UA-cam showing us all how the King of Bulls lives his day to day life. We will miss you Big Man. RIP Neptune.
I'm so sorry to hear about Neptune. Its a tough decision to have to make but it was the right one. You didn't want him to be suffering any longer. He had a good life on your farm and he will be missed.
Tom, you and your farm gave Neptune his BEST possible life. Remember THE LEGEND will live on for years to come through all of his offspring. Peace from "America's Dairyland", Wisconsin.
He was a beautiful, gentle giant! I have followed his journey and feel sad right along with you! You won't find another quite like Neptune!
Aww I’m so sorry for Neptune what a handsome chap. Beautiful boy. Really sad 😢 xx
Tom. You made the right decision. He was struggling with his feet and his shoulder. with the feet problems, something was bound to happen. You showed kindness and compassion to Neptune until the end. I've always been scared of Bulls, but you showing neptune in the light you have has made me love them. He will be in the field in heaven serving the ladies in the sky. Sending lots of love to your farm.
Tom, you did the best thing for Neptune. I watched the end footage 3 times, Neptune was a prize specimen of not only his breed but care and attention/love of his owners. I cried at his loss as I'm sure you did, big thumbs up to YOU and Jo.
I'm sorry to hear the farm has to suffer his loss eventhough it's part of the natural cycle. It warms my heart to see how much love you have for your animals. In the end you have to be a business man about them but you do it with such love and care. Keep up the love y'all.
Aww, Neptune. You brought a lot of joy into the world. May your rest be sweet, big boy. It was a life well lived.
Sad day indeed Tom. So sorry. I can almost see your pain. Neptune gave you his all I'm sure. We'll miss him
Oh no Tom I know how much that boy means to you and you’re dad. Huge loss for you and the farm. Sending virtual hugs at least I got to see in in the field a few weeks ago.
I am so sorry about Neptune Tom. I love him too. Sad day.
RIP big lad. You have left a wonderful legacy behind you. Beautiful sons and daughters.
So so sorry, you have cared for and loved Neptune. Hope the next bull is half as good he will be great. He being a working legend will not be forgotten by many on your channel.
Sadly you had to let him go. He had a great life with the ladies on the farm, and the legend will live on ❤️
It’s a sad day Tom but looks like the right decision to me. He’s had a good life with you.
Sad to hear about Neptune,🐃 you could name your new shed after the legend as most of his offspring will be housed there! Hope your all well and keep up the great content😊👍
So sorry to see poor Neptune going out. I know we all love him!! Good boy, he'll not hurt again.
Such a sad day but you've done right by him. Far kinder than letting him suffer. The big guy will be missed by your subs for sure. RIP Neptune x
RIP Neptune. You truly are a LEGEND!
Sorry for your loss Tom. He could not have asked for a better home than what you gave him. RIP Neptune.
So sorry Tom and family!!!! Neptune has been a great contributor to your herd and Pemberton family!!!! This has been echoed on here frequently, but you have done the right thing!!! He will always be remembered as a beautiful and gentle giant!!!! Take care!!! Farewell Sir Neptune!!!!!!
Sad times! But you have to have the downs in order to appreciate the ups! Neptune will live on with his countless offspring! He was a credit to you and your dad! Be proud.
Your a top quality stockman look at the size of him and shows the love and care he's had with you Tom .It's part of the job we're in and it's a hard decision but the right one you've done .Head up and drive on 👍👍
I'm so sorry about Neptune. You did the right thing though. He's no longer suffering. I'm going to miss him. Hugs!
This is the first video I've watched of yours and I feel so bad for poor Neptune. It's so obvious how much you care for him. I'm sorry you had to make that decision and it's commendable you put his health and welfare above all else. Good luck and best wishes. RIP Neptune! ❤️
Oh what a sad day. It’s never easy to make this decision. I find myself with tears. Good bye Neptune and may you run happy on the other side of the rainbow.
Sad day Tom, I love watching the vids with Neptune in as he was a big gentle giant, he was massive but things like this happen and unfortunately it isn’t the first and it won’t be the last, keep the chin up mate 👍👍
The first video of yours that caught my eye was of Neptune! I have enjoyed every glimpse of him and watching his calves born on your farm. He will always be an important part of your farm. His legacy lives on in his offspring. I hope your next bull is as prolific as this special, gentle giant of a lady's man! RIP Neptune. You have earned your final pasture in the sky!
Aww what a legend Neptune was and such a beautiful animal. As hard as it was I’m sure, you did the right thing by him Tom. He would have suffered had you left it. RIP Big fella 😔💕
So sorry. Neptune was a legend and he loved having a scratch with the brushes. He will be greatly missed.
I haven’t seen those brushes for a minute now. Did Tom take them down?
@@shkibeta One of them was in the main cow shed and there is another one that gos out in the field. I guess he just hasn't shown them in a video recently because he's ben focusing on the construction of the new clamp and shed.
i cant believe neptunes got to go , its been great seeing him over the years on the farm , definitely sad but the right thing to do . im going to miss him. thats the farm life tho saddly. i almost teared up at the end little montage
Heartbreaking! RIP Neptune. Sorry for your loss, Tom.
I’m so sorry for your loss… he will be missed, he lived the good life ❤️❤️❤️
Awww Tom can’t take this, was already feeling lousy, this just not what any of what to hear but understand fully the sad decision you’ve had to make. Such is farm life. Neptune legacy lives on in his calves Rest in Peace Neptune 🐂
Tom I'm so sorry, animals that are a favourite is so hard on you emotionally and we've always known that you loved him so much. He's been a 5 star bull for you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Tom so sorry for this. I wish we had more people like you and your father in the world. You could teach a lot of people how to treat animals. We will all miss Neptune. Rest easy big boy.
So sorry to hear about Neptune he has such a wonderful disposition so gentle and handsome 🥲
This hits the feels and memories hard. Toughest decisions to make as a farmer for sure. Thankfully the good moments and memories do far outshine the tough/bad ones. Keep up the good and caring work / attitude Tom!
It's crazy how invested I feel in this whole scenario of Neptune passing I never for the slightest a few years ago taught that a farmer was attached or how well yous look after your animals I can only compare it to losing my pet dog and that was hard I feel for you Tom you do a great job with every animal you have Neptune wouldn't of asked for a better bunch of people to look after him youre a true gentleman and great farmer Tom love your videos mate ❤
Tom, I’m so sorry to hear about Neptune!! I know that is the way farming goes, but it sucks all the same!! He was so lucky to have lived on your farm for so long and for you guys to have so many of his babies!! I know you have him the best possible life!! Much love to you from America!! 🥰🥰🥰
The first video that brought me to this channel all those years ago was the video of you getting Neptune! Very sad to see such a legend go, a true gentle giant. It has been heartwarming to see your bond with him and the care that you've given him through the years.
Neptune was a beautiful animal and so well cared for. I feel your pain. When you take care of animals and live them like you do, their loss is always so difficult. Thank you for sharing this video. You were right when you said “this is what happens on a farm”. Life! Looking forward to seeing the next bull at home on your farm.
Have to say I laughed when he threw the dig at the cake thief, Priorities Neptune, legend. Any chance of some video of the Angus Highland Cross as they grow Tom please?
Still a tear jerker. He reminded me of one my my uncles Angus Bulls. Super affectionate and super gentle even for a bull. Neptune served well and was treated with as much care as you could ever possibly give him and his disposition around you was well apparent. He was a good lad and was certainly a beautiful mass of a bull even cute and adorable some might say. He always looked like you could feel that he was saying "Hi Dad" or "Hey brother".
This has been a real education for me, because I never thought that farmers actually cared about their animals. RIP Neptune. You were cherished and respected. Not all animals can say the same, unfortunately.
I feel you and your dads pain Tom ! He has been star of the show and an amazing big fellow, he has had the best care throughout his life from everyone on the farm. I’m sure he will be sadly missed .
I'm so sorry, Tom! He was a beautiful animal with a sweet temperament. He's definitely one of a kind.
Tom my heart goes out to you and your Dad.I was a ranch hand for 7 years and still remember the animals we lost or had to put down.
Neptune was a great bull!
And you are a good man!! God bless you and yours!!
He and your family had sn awesome time together so relish in the good days and his subsequent offspring. Lovely respectful video Tom.👍💚👍
