I bought a new merlo - bobcat knackered - bum pants for the win

Описание: Second quick end of lamma i get a look around our new merlo and see the differences in the turbo farmer and our merlo, mostly oil flow changes to benefit us and a comfy seat, will put a seat cover on this one i think!!

We get into bother with the bobcat when it throws down and decides its had enough.

🐄 From City Girl to Dairy Farmer | My Journey into Robotic Milking, Jerseys & Social Media Farming 🌾

Hi, I’m Charlotte Ashley, and in May this year we started milking Jersey cows on two Lely robots here in the beautiful Eden Valley, Cumbria.

Not long ago, I was a total outsider to farming — a city lass who’d tried every office job under the sun (and got the sack from most of them!). After moving to Cumbria in 2009, I fell in love with agriculture, trading spreadsheets for silage and discovering that caring for animals isn’t so different from caring for people.

Together with my husband Roy, we’ve built a family-run dairy farm where we now milk 120 Jerseys, raising around 200 cows & 200 sheep across the farm. What started as a dream has become our daily life — full of challenges, mud, milking, and moments worth sharing.

On my Chanel I talk about:

🚜 How I went from impostor syndrome to influencer farmer

🐮 What it’s like to milk with Lely robotic milking systems

🌱 How social media can shape the story of modern farming

💬 The reality of sharing life online balancing “curated vs. real”

📲 Why women in farming and family-run dairies need to be seen and heard

Farming isn’t just what we do it’s who we are. Through platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, I’m proud to represent UK dairy farming, women in agriculture, and our sustainable, high-welfare livestock system.

Join me as I share the highs, lows, and laughter of life with Jerseys and how technology, teamwork, and storytelling are shaping the future of dairy.
