hi everyone it's Jack at Mainsgill so thanks for tuning in to youtube make sure
you that subscribe button tell everyone about it don't they Karl so we got Karl here with me
and we have got Ian pulling in the wagon there he is he's just pulled up there so what we are
doing today is them beast over there we're gonna try and get them in so some heifers here so
we bought these earlier in the year i think i showed you a video putting these out
out here so they come from carlisle auction originally uh we've put them out here and uh
weather's changing it's coming wet they're eaten up now it's time for them to be coming in
so we're going to get them caught today hopefully fetch them in and they're going to go in the shed
so it'd be grand if we can get them in we'll see what we can get if we can't get them all it's
not the end of the world if we can get a big chunk of them be all right there's 48 in this field so
what we're doing is we have a bit of a pen here there's a pen here like that
there's not very good fence down that side so we're gonna put some hurdles along there
and then we've got some more hurdles for making a pen for pushing them into the trailer in the wagon
and we'll try and get them bossed good good here they come
right so it's a tad moist now i don't need some water so we've been feeding them to
uh get them used to coming up to this pen so we've been feeding them a bit just to get them
having fun Ian we had to cut there because he trapped his hand
so hopefully now these beasts are gonna
work out what's going on and come round to the right side see what happens
come on come on
let's take what we've got right so we've got the first ones loaded and we're back here now
so we managed to get quite a few of them in over half of them so i've just dropped mine off out the
cattle trailer and we're just dropping these off out the wagon so we're just shoving them in this
pen for now because matthew has nearly literally about finished the top shed mucking it out
and then we're going to run them all up there once we've got him out so he's just finishing mucking
it out and then it'll be to bed up and then we can all go in there you can see they're in now
they don't look too bad they're all different sizes so some bigger ones and some smaller ones
so there's a mixture in here so plenty of beast in here now so it's all starting to fill up so
they're the ones we're using at minute uh the next one's up for some bigger store beast they've
been in for a bit far top corner are some of our steers homebred steers from last year
so they get fattened on an ad-lib hopper and go to auction we only use heifer meat in the shop
so they're up there and then in the far pen at the end there's also uh 38 heifers which we got
off of fella the other day they come the other day so they're his autumn calving batch we bought
them in some more store heifers so starting to fill up now just getting that time of year
well there we go that's them ones so we'll go back and get some more hopefully
so we got them 48 in out of that over field didn't we Karl yep yeah we got them so we've dried
out a little bit it's not as bad rain as it was earlier Karl's a bit cold but he'll be all right
so now what we're on with is we are in the other field so there's 30 in here two won't come in so
i'll have to see if we can get them in a minute but what we're doing is we're fetching these
in now we've got some in the wagon we've loaded the wagon up so we've got these here we're going
to fill the trailer up and i'm going to leave a few in here and hopefully them two are going to
come to them while we're around the corner while we're just tipping back at the other farm so we're
going to go back with them now but they're not doing too bad they're looking all right
but they're eaten up now and it's time to go
so just pushing him through this corner into there and then onto the trailer hopefully go on girls
so i just need one to see and then the rest will follow
come on girls
go on who's going
red's looking up there we go one's away
there you go like i said once they've gone you're away three four
or maybe not
go girls look around
turn around
let's get in trailer go on nice and warm where you going get yourselves inside
that's it
just like that there we go load it up
so this here is the top shed that i said they were going into so this is where they're going to be
coming up to but Matthew has filled it up with bales by the looks of it so he's put plenty in
so what it is these are rape straw these so
with them being just coming in they're coming in wet so we put loads of straw in so we'll burst
all these but we'll literally just cut all these because if i show you now matthew cut one open
you cut one open there you can't roll them about these bales they just drop to nothing in as soon
as you open them so there you go that's one open there so what we do is we just open them all up in
here when we fetch when we muck a shed out open them all up in the bottom cut them all open and
then the beast will come in and they'll come in and they'll just smash them all to bits so
this is the shed that i said they were going to come into so we've just come now we've got ian's
got a wagon full i've got a trailer full there behind so we're gonna put them in here now uh
put them straight in here and then them other ones that we showed you that we put in the shed before
we'll run them around in a bit but there's just one more load to go and get as well after this
for today and that'll be 78 beast hopefully as long as we get these others good
here we go i'm getting the wagon backed up now
that'll do
there you go so it's horrible day there we go there's a few in
there and hopefully by time we get back they'll of fairly smashed these bales to bits
so we're just working out what's going on because it's a fairly dramatic change from
earlier in that weather outside but it's alright we've got them in now so it's given us a
break from drilling this rain so we can crack on and get the beast in that's the first ones
