- hi all
the busiest part of the year has arrived still breeding and the calves have arrived,
in this video I'm treating a heifer that get dry mastitis and go through what we do here when the calves arrive and getting them used to the grazing platform,
hope you enjoy :)
so wonderful beautiful video my best friend i love it see so nice
I'm very impressed to see your behaviour and mannerisms when working with young stock like these - quiet, smooth, gentle and yet steadily persuasive and firm with them so that they do what you need from them. Total congratulations young man.
There are many so called stockmen and women of all ages and experiences that could really benefit from watching and learning from you.
Incidentally I'm not sure if it would help with your fly problem but in the past we have dipped the teat orifice into some gently warmed Stockholm Tar to mechanically close up the teat. We have also used the same method for dressing minor open wounds with the tar to reduce flies pestering the cattle. Regards Dan
Thank you no point getting mad with the calves they don't know what's going on so just need to take it slow with them wish I could say I was always calm on the farm 😂 thanks again
Some operator. Doing an excellent job. 👌👍
Thanks so much well trying anyway
Brilliant set up and video, ya had the box of gloves there but didn’t put on a pair......
Reat bit of kits makes life a bit easier well done

Great job Gavin. Some difference a year makes on the farm with you 👏👏
Cheers long way to go
Great video as always keep up the great work and videos you have a great setup on your farm
Thanks so much john
Hi Gavin, your setup is spot on, it takes the hardship and stress out of it for both man an beast,were did you get the applicator for injecting the blackleg / vacancies.
Definitely it's a game changer.. got it in aurivo but I'd get the one that the bottle attatchs straight into then one with the little pipe
Fantastic video Canning farms 👏 animals very well looked after on your farm 🐄🐮 keep up the good work 👏
Flys are a disaster, keep the garlic lick to them. Are you aware theres a few bull calves in that group😅
Hahah I do next years teasers 😂
Great video, what's the story with the bull calves in the bunch
Thanks pat.. they will run with them for another month or 2 then be pulled out and get the snip at Christmas time and be used as teaser bulls next year
Great video how do you like the steel stakes? And I suppose you know there’s a bull calf among them
Yea love them been a great job since they went in.. hahaha yea 4 in there they will be next years teasers
Can I ask u donu milk or is it just reaing heifers I'm assuming u breed the bigger heifers do u
@@nicola2751 just rear the heifers yea the older 80 are bulled and will go back to their home farms in January
How you manage to run 80 calfs and 80 yearlings on that amount of ground gavin?
Have the land in paddocks and just do rounds of fertiliser little and often got the lime right but need to work on the p and k levels but stocking rate is high
Hi Gavin, just curous to know do you have any issue with summer scour or cocci? do you offer any fibre to them? 2kg of ration a day?. i'm at same craic as well with same sort of animals but having lots of issues this summer
They just arrived so at the min no issues only one or 2 getting cold with the weather and the traveling.. yea I keep them on longer not as luch grass and bring out a bit of silage/hay for them to nibble on.. yea ones on target getting 2kg ones that are well behind will be built up to 3 kg its just been a shit summer
@@Canningfarms Feck it. Sorry for jinxing it for you. i lost 3 and put another 7 back on milk for 3 weeks to get them back around. i find the cocci and summer scour are very close symptons. This year with wet grass i think the cocci is everywhere. i've hay and straw against ditches just to get a bit of fibre into them as well as 2kg of ration
@@seamusoconnell8582 yea I had awful trouble with them then they ended up resistant to the doses and medicine been a rough few weeks but through it hopefully
Hi, I thought Noromectin Pour-On was not permitted for cattle producing milk for human consumption??
Can use it on heifers up to 60 days before calving can't use on cows that are actively giving milk these calves are fine
Good man thanks for your reply👍
Keep the good work.
