This is one of my favourite farming videos on YouTube, nice to get a nosey around someone elses yard! You have a great set up, essential if you also work off farm as time will be your most limiting factor. Thanks for up loading.

HiThere doesn't look to be any lying space just a muck channel and feed barrier. The corner pen looks like it has straw/bedding space (but no slatted floor?) as well as locking feed barriers - but no stock in there.

Why didn't you filmed the bull? But besides that, I love the race variations you use in the barn! Really lovely video!

The pens have space for 7 cows to eat but most pens only have 6 cows in them. Many farms would run 8-10 cows in each pen (15ft x12ft). They push the feed out as they "select" what they want to eat. It is pushed in to them twice a day. Our cows were previously chained in stalls for 7 months of the year, this is 5* cattle housing. The building cost the equivilent of 10 years profit.

don't u think that there should be some extra gap between the cows, and I can see that some cows are doin really hard to get to the feed as it seems bit far from there mouth.....am I right or it seems in video.....I was interested to learn cows and sheep farming so came to click ur video....

This was filmed in November. The cattle are housed November till May. Believe me we long for May so we can get them outside. We don't keep them in just for fun. It means working long days 7 days a week when they are inside.
-
Reasons why cattle don't go outside in winter: 1. It is far too wet too put cattle outside in winter months. IF you did the cows would be belly deep in mud which would be torture for the animals. 2. Never seen people mowing their lawn in the winter? Because grass doesn't grow in the winter! So all the cows would just starve in the fields. 3. Why put cattle out in the rain, wind and cold when they can be in a warm, clean barn? So in actual fact, you animal lovers are the cruel ones!
-
Good idea, they go out to grass in May. Maybe I'll do a video showing newborn calves and lambs in the field with their mothers. I hope my videos are educational to those unfamiliar with farming in Scotland.

We are always keen to improve what we do and welcome suggestions. How do you think they should live?
-
Sorry? What is sad? My cows are very happy.
-
The cows are not in stalls, they are free to move around. The yokes that they have their heads through are only for handling (vaccinations etc).
-
Normal cow? Our cattle are housed from November until April like most cattle. They are fed a diet of grass silage mixed with chopped straw. When they calve they move to a large straw bedded pen then go out to the fields in May. Cows are not pets. If they were not kept by farmers then cows would simply be extinct. Do you really think that your dinner just comes from Tesco's?

thats just sad

Our cattle make around £2.85 - £3.00per kg . Carcases average 280 - 340 kg.
