Financially the hardest time of year !
Hello 👋
Welcome to Sam Shutt Farming, daily life on the Hill farm
This is Sam and Oliver plus 4 children farming beef sucklers and sheep in the North Yorkshire/Cumbria border area.
We are first-generation farmers, and we've had no help at all to get to where we are now. We are here to show you our life and what we do. I am also here to show new entrance that it is possible to start from scratch. Being strong-willed, determined, and a lot of hard work, you can do it.
We are both from farming backgrounds. I grew up on a family dairy farm. Milking from a very young age.Working for my uncle when i left school. I've learnt everything from him and grown ever since. I met Oliver when I was 16 he was 15. We started with a few sheep when we met and have built up over the 16 years to where we are now. We took on a 500-acre hill farm in 2019, currently 5 years into the tenancy.
Also, here to show people women can be useful in the agricultural world.😉😁

Another good video showing realities of hill farming Sam. Keep it up, your defo getting better at the videos you seem more natural with the camera. Great to see the scenery as well, love the Dales ❤
Thank you. glad I am getting better !
I notice you did nt leave any mess on the road 😉Oliver is obviously less experienced and drove over the spread area
Went back with loadall 🤣 he's very particular, usually and dosnt have any on the road, but soon picks up
👌👌👌
Great as always sam. Lovely scenery when the sun is shining lol. Bust a gut laughing when Oliver stud on the new boards and then blament you
Hahaha, it was funny not to put that in 🤣 poor lad 🤣 yeh it's beautiful 😍
Good video again. As full time farmer also i know how hard it is at times to have money. I just buy what i can afford and if i cant i do without it. Fair play to you for so honest. Hope you get some freebies through youtube.
Haha, I don't mind if we don't. I would love to look back on this when kids are older and married and can remind us of our life and how far we've come. All part of the fun !
Love your choice of music.. drone footage is fantastic. That man of your will mellow as he ages 😂 I wish you success in everything you do.
Thankyou 😁 and I got the drone to follow me on the quad I was so impressed with it 🤣 showed scenery aswell so was happy. Corse he will he's 30 going on 50🤣 but he's fine. Thankyou means a lot 😃😄
Times are hard up here in the Shetlands. Our fert costs more up here it’s frightening but as you say if you want grass you need fert. Wish we had some sunshine but been foggy all day. Take care Sam your a worker and a half just like my Mrs.
Behind a good man is a good woman 💪 team work ! Foggy, oh no. Hopefully, the sun shines for you soon. Hate buying it but it's for the good. Can't be short of crop come winter nothing worse!
Great video Sam,it's a pain in the backside when you only have income for a few months of the year and trying to juggle it to make it last,you have got out alot of muck so with a bit of luck it will give your grass a boost.
Absolutely can't beat muck, and this is mainly pig muck saved from when we had pigs so should be good stuff 👍
New subscriber. Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Thankyou 😁😁🥰
👍👍👍.
Hi Sam, keep up the good work loving the video so far shouldn’t be too long before you start getting quad sponsorship and maybe to Taparri 🙏🙏🙏👊
Taparri would be brilliant 🤣 never had anything as posh on the farm! But weal see I don't mind if I don't get any of that, iam hear for a good time and love showing people our life . 😄
Good w omen herself
👍
i don't bother sowing much fertiliser but then i'm not very heavily stocked but i do like my dungspreading thats the cheapest fertiliser so long as you can get the rain at the right time to wash it in it will bring on a decent bit of grass. money dissapears fast these days .......i had to spend £8,000 on straw through the winter......there's just not enough money for everything
No haha 🤣 but it's farming life for you. Wouldn't give up so forwards is the job 😁😄
Hi Sam do they keep taking your videos down because I think the last two I watched then it says you posted another video but it’s the same video, thank you 😊
Last night's video was a copy right, so I deleted and re uploaded it without the music 🤣🤣 iam all sorted now. This shouldn't go anywhere 🤣 all good to go from now on. What a faf it was 🙄
Who is flying the drone?
I set it to follow me I tried it out while there was no trees around 🤣but it kept going around me n wasn't keen might be a setting to stay behind me 🤔🤔
You should wear a helmet when out on the quad. Getting through lean months is a grind. Maybe the KZhead channel will grow and give a bit of income.
I prefer not to untill it's law thanks tho. Maybe one day it will ! 🤣🥰
@@Sam-shutt having had a few mountain bike crashes including a hospital visit to have my chin stitched, I know how much worse it could have been without a helmet. It's up to you of course.
Where is your helmet when driving the quad better be safe than sorry 😢
Iam okay thanks. !
By law you are supposed to wear a helmet if you turn the quad you have no protection
No it's not law.
