When you run a beef farm, some days everything just works.
And some days… everything goes wrong.

Today on Baldys Farm, we’re dealing with a full-blown farming chaos day — a forklift breakdown at the worst possible time, stock feed potatoes finally arriving, and fitting the new cattle crush with the Te Pari Macrostock indicator and weigh bars.

This is real life on a UK suckler cow farm — the good, the bad and the ugly.

In this episode:
• What happens when your forklift breaks down mid-job
• Managing feed logistics when timing matters
• Feeding potatoes to cattle safely and efficiently
• cattle jumping wall when your loading a lorry
• Installing weigh bars into a cattle crush
• Upgrading our cattle handling system
• The reality of farm equipment problems during busy periods

If you’ve ever searched for:
• “farming gone wrong”
• “forklift broken down on farm”
• “how to install weigh bars”
• “Te Pari cattle crush setup”
• “feeding potatoes to cattle”
• “real life beef farming UK”
• “cattle escape”

— this one’s for you.

Farming isn’t polished. It isn’t always smooth.
But it is honest.

On Baldys Farm we focus on practical beef farming, efficient systems, cattle performance, and showing what actually happens behind the scenes on a modern suckler herd.
