A day in the life episode from start to finish of what I get up to on the farm. I know I used to do this when I uploaded daily episodes but since uploading every two days I’ve got out of the vlog diary habit.

11 weeks since the cows first stepped foot onto the farm and into the robots. What sort of routine have I got myself into? Have we managed to figure out calving and a johnes verdict when we get a sick looking cow. We see a calving followed through to the cow re-entering the herd and the moment when I become full time mum for a very cute beef shorthorn x calf. Come with me for a day on the farm. We talk about machinery the robots I show you how I change the milk filters and clean the robot rooms.

Sooo Roy god rid of the big s250 bobcat, someone wanted to buy it and we have two so obviously it went and I’m annoyed, we PD the heifers and see if they are in calf. I take on a fun run with Rufus.

My name is Charlotte Ashley and as of earlier this month I’m a dairy farmer and we milk 120 jerseys and associated followers on two Lely astronaut A5s
-A quick rundown if you are new to the channel I’m not from farming, Social media started as a casual interest in photography and farming combined I was a very green city girl and had a very excitable view of farming sharing it with my friends from city areas and it has grown from that into youtube and all other associated platforms below.

in 2009 i had no experience of farming or the realities that came with it. That soon changed when I met my other half Roy, I had a job as a carer and in every spare moment threw myself into farming. I had only ever driven a Nissan Micra and had experience with horses, I learnt the hard way as nobody had the time to show me and soon after arriving I found myself mothering on calves to three quarter bred limmy cows. We spent every available moment on the farm between our day jobs. Fast forward to 2016 two children later we moved into our very own farm overlooking the northern Pennines, Laitha.

I am overjoyed to be a farmer. I feel so fortunate every day to wake up and do what I love and even better share it with the world and hope it inspires more young people to spread their wings and think outside the box the world needs more farmers.
