I'm Andrew Campbell & we've milked cows on our farm for a lot of years. And we've done it pretty much the same way since the milking machine came along. But now with new technology on dairies around the world, we're jumping in with both feet. Follow along as we build a brand new barn with brand new equipment - all in an effort to make the cows as comfortable as possible.
Plus, I've toured to a bunch of other farms in the past too, so if you want to see how other farmers raise different types of food you can find those videos here too.
So the counter people at my locale Deere dealer are totally worthless. I have this style couplers and they are leaking, thot it would be an easy repair. Apparently not. Does anyone know if i have to get the "backcap" with the release levers? and what all else do i have to change?
Excellent comparison. You should have compared the three robots in terms of complexities, power consumption, ease of cleaning, maintenance, and of course cost.
if you throw those springs in a vice and put 2 zip ties on there's enough space to slip the spring on and get the snap ring over. easy one man solution! thanks for getting me on the right track only video I could find of this style.
Gud evening,My name is Lucky Mahlangu from South Africa,i really love this kind of farming if u don’t mind kindly share some tips on how to grow it,thank u🙏
Idc if this facility is clean, calves are fed, etc.. THIS IS WRONG!!! we would go to prison fot ripping a human child from its mother and caging it up for up to 20 weeks old just to eat them! There is no rationalizing...this is horrific.
Very impressive Andrew. Had a visit from your mom and grandfather and Carol here at Port Lambton and found out about this major undertaking. Alex is quite excited about the results as he should be. I feel more positive about the future of Canada after I view an episode . I wish you continued success sir.
.....so: there is nothing sensible for us, I think! These are all outdated stable systems. I have in mind a system that is not technical - that attracts a cow, a sheep or a goat - with food into a kind of bay. Then the teats are cleaned with a pulsating water sprayer, massaged - and then the milking device is attached and milked. not more. Clearly there should be animal identification - via transponder - and there should be a contactless inspection of the respective animal - also an internal examination of the milked milk, which should be processed immediately on site into hard cheese. The problem: the animals have no connection to humans - they run around freely. And they look for the protected areas of their own accord and can stay there when it rains or have themselves milked. The associated problem: there are terraces with trees and plants - kind of mountains! I think that what I want and know exactly how it should look and function doesn't exist! I'm watching the film here - opening the cabinets is like a journey into a world that is long outdated: today we transmit electrical current and also control data, determined data - via light, laser. All the old technology makes what is shown in the film very complicated and expensive! and complex, time-consuming! and I think: inefficient! You can't monitor and control animals that run around freely by putting them in the stable and planning feeding times and milking times too! As with all animals: they know what is good for them - when kept in stables, underfeeding is generally the norm - but overfeeding would be right! An animal must be able to eat whenever it wants to eat - and drink as well! I'll keep looking: there will be some people who don't stick to the old ways - admittedly, that's what makes them money - but there also has to be something that's quick, easy and safe! I think just to be on the safe side: I'll have to design it myself! Then all the effort spent searching would just be a waste of time! thank you for your information! Kind regards from Berlin, Germany
3 times milking makes the milk inferior for cheesemaking eg. Like in switzerland a farmer was excluded from the gruyere aop. And other regions think about stopping robotic milking for their cheese makers. It means max. 2 times milking per day. Just some info
You complete cut her off during conversation whats happening when they come in. Dewormer, parasites and growth…..what??? Growth implant??? Answers, please!
With all respect, the M²erlin of JOZ Fullwood with the Fullsense herdmanagement software is momentarily the best robot on the market. It does not matter which robot you decide to purchase, keep in mind, once a robot is installed, you have fixed costs. The most expensive robot in regards to energy, so including electricity, water usage, detergent, dippspray and....the amount of foremilk from 5 to 1 (so from worse to the best) is: GEA, then DeLaval, then Boumatic, then Lely and the cheapest of all is the M²erlin from JOZ FULLWOOD ☝️☝️!! The DLG, Deutsche Land Gesellschaft in Germany tested them all. All robots are using far over 14000 kwH per year, only the M²erlin uses a mere 8500 kwH on electricity per robot per year. Make no mistake, the costs of all robots are not to underestimate. So, before you decide to with robots, do the comparison check! Over a lifetime of say 12 years, you be surprised how much you pay per liter milk, per cow or per robot on fixed costs!! Again, they all milk but everytime I talk to M²erlin users, they all say, we have barely any problems with our robots, they run and run and run and do where they are made for, to produce lots of milk without any headaches. In Europe we have several M²erlin users which produce 1.9 to 2 million lbs per robot/year!! As I am a lot on the road and worked with all different robot manufacturers all I can say, not ever I met a red, a blue, a green or blue/orange robot who made it over the 1.7 million lbs/year. So next time, if you compare robots again, take a M²erlin into your test. You'll be surprised!
Great, I love Garlic How do you find storage before replanting or stocking the supermarkets with local product. When do you plant your bulbs and harvest? Thanks❤🇦🇺
Tengo 25 años de experiencia en ordeño Y este sistema automatizado es bastante estresante para las vacas 🐄 el cepillo daña mucho las ubres causando mastitis mucha electricidad agua mantenimiento al sistema no es muy recomendado pero el tiempo lo dirá
4:20 talking about the Herd Navigator, they also have specially designed robots for it. 2 different models of it (v300 supra), HN 100 and HN500. would have to check the difference between the two (im a delaval tech at a dealership).
Keep your videos coming as look forward to seeing you working in an amazing new set up. I am sure the new barns and robots have changed your families lives as your mom can still do calves but not the hard work. Any more information about increased milk production and quality with the new setup? Are you at your maximum capacity for your sheds and quota yet or can you grow more over the next few years ? Thanks for the interesting videos.
