Not so Fancy Farming

Hi, my name is Michael and I’m delighted to welcome you to my channel!

I’m based in Northern Ireland and spend my life running around after cattle and sheep, usually with a trusty border collie at my side.

I live on the farm here in County Down with my wife and three young daughters. We’re still learning how to create content for you all so please join us on our journey as we share a little bit of our lives here on the farm.

Hi Folks!
I’m doing a takeover of the Ulster Farmer’s Union Instagram page RIGHT NOW and all day today.

Get in over there if you want to see how my day progresses during the busy lambing and calving period

I was happily fixing up some feed gates today when I looked down to discover that I was on fire. It’s a shame that breakdancing won’t be in the next Olympics as I think Ireland would be in with a chance after the moves I pulled this afternoon..

Hi folks! I’ve been in full blown radio silence for several months now, due to some unforeseen circumstances which made making the time for YouTube seem impossible to me. Lambing and calving season has nearly finished up here, with only a handful left to go. I thought I’d share the biggest lamb of the year, this big lad born tonight. Sorry the picture quality isn’t great as my front camera really doesn’t like the low light in the shed! Don’t worry, mother and baby are doing just fine and she didn’t even lie down for the delivery! I’ll be back with some more videos in the near future, and we’ll see what the rest of 2024 brings!

‪@farmstockofficial‬ has produced a concise and entertaining rebuttal to the nonsense spouted in Channel 4’s recent documentary about beef production in the UK.


If anyone is interested, or has seen the documentary and was left shouting at the TV, you can find the video here:

Hi Folks! I’ve been pretty inactive on the video front lately, but will be putting some more out in the near future. I thought I’d share with you my little surprise today! We aren’t due to start lambing until late February, yet this morning I was greeted by this little surprise.
Happy Thursday everyone!
