The Easy Swing Cow Brush – Spa Treatment for Your Herd

By Doug Mayo
 
This week’s featured video was produced by Tom Pemberton Farm Life to share something new he added at his dairy.  The Easy Swing and Totem Cow Brushes are sturdy enough to let cows and bulls scratch and rub to their hearts delight either in a barn or out in the pasture.  Yes it sounds like a silly toy, but the cows loved it.  Notice the name of the company that set up the brushes in the video:   Mayo Cow Comfort.  Maybe they are my distant relatives over in England.  They have some good ideas on their website.  Cow comfort may sound foolish, but if you get a few more pounds of feed into a happy dairy or beef cow, you can probability get a few more pounds of milk or weight gain out of her too.

Drone Flight & Baling Success at Last!

After weeks of rain delays and frustration, we finally have a reason to smile — it’s hay time again at Ewetopia Farms! In today’s episode, we head out to the fields where Arnie is baling hay, and I attempt my second drone flight to capture it all from the air. The drone still had some hiccups, but I managed to get some aerial footage of the baling process.

Back at the farm, the work doesn’t stop. Arnie brings the bales home, and the next critical step begins — wrapping and stacking the bales to make haylage. This process is essential for preserving feed for our sheep and ensures they have nutritious forage in the months ahead.

It’s a good day on the farm — the sun is out, the drone is flying (sort of!), and we’re making progress. Join us for a satisfying and productive day that brings a long-awaited sigh of relief to this year’s challenging hay season.
