His red one did well, the black one didn’t do well due to its colour/markings, his third did ok as they the old fashioned Frisian milker, will last and be worth more in the end fat wise, I didn’t think he gained anything by being a youtuber money wise, his stock got bid to what a buyer thought they were worth, about one of his best vids as no bulling the ordinance up,

I watch an odd video of drone dairy’s. Find him hard to understand and not great at making videos. He had a premature birth, so poor man has one cow to milk for a good few weeks, just how he takes of the cluster is so annoying, does a bad job leaving off the vacuum and pulls it off, seen also in previous videos. No excuse for a dairy farmer to not have more common sense. Bugged me when my old fella use do it. Best day ever when he left the parlour.

Looks like he should be a digger driver not a dairy farmer.

Not sticking up for anyone (and haven't seen the video) but I suspect things aren't as simple as those who look over the fence from a privileged position and criticise realise.
Must be a horrible job, everyone against you and watching just waiting for a rule to be broken so people can have you fired.
Everything's complicated.

if ou havant watched it becarful what you say! :scratchhead:
I've tried, I really can't take to the fella.
I saw the bit with the chap moaning about not getting a spring crop in.
I'd rather see a bunch of people with unlivable houses due to flooding to be honest. Were they on?
I saw the bit about the flooded generator too. I think the issues are a bit bigger than that and all start with the very basic question, can the water get out to sea quick enough to stop a backlog. You have to fix that first.
Everyone's an expert though.
