Hope you made it through that cold snap without to many problems, if there’s a weak link anywhere on the farm -25 will show you right where it is! And just how many there are! Thanks for sharing your work day ! Come on spring time! 🌱 ☀️
Yakee that's cold. Been pretty cold here in Ohio single digits last week, and windy up to 60mph, warmed a bit this week ranging 10 to 15°F. Interesting history about the tractor. Be safe and try to stay warm. Thanks for the video.
Interesting to see that as the senior executive (Boss) of the very large enterprise, you still keep a very 'hands-on' approach, to on site operations. Is that your Dutch heritage, or just your management approach/training?
Moo Cow inner dialogue "OH, these pens are MOOOOVELOUS !!" Well, I think your cold is colder than I've ever seen before. We had (-45c) on the Prairies these past few days. In Montreal we are sitting at a Balmy (-11c) at 11:37am. When is the Great Bedaf Hockey Challenge?? Stay Warm out there !!!
Work on this tough condition is pretty rough.i work pipeline western canada i did work in field dairy is tough but -55 below zero is insane.equipment start go haywire left and right.i hope learning for your crew.thanks video expose real world food supply chain.😮
A Dutch family moved to our community and built for cows with completely open sides 😱 Curious as you are, visited them and wondered if they had thought about Swedish winter. Well they said, we have winter in the Netherlands too.... They have had their fair share of problems but they are very hardworking people. You can't say anything about that.
It sure was cold!!🥶🥶 It’s difficult choring any kind of animal when it gets so unreal cold! You will find the weakest link in your barn when we get temps like that, sure hope it does not come back as that was brutal!
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Ya You got that right! I have Family in Northern Alberta with temps of -65 c plus the windchill!! Dang that would be cold!!🥶🥶🥶
We had wind chill 1987 -25 Cambridge frost two foot In the ground like sharp sand for bedding use hover Tanker suck sand out beds Once month clean cows Happy cows so one wheel borrow load a cow
Why don't you put a few rolls of hay down, is it because of the cost factor or some other reason????🤠👍......Oh yeah, I'm learning a lot....keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Piet, eerste keer dat ik de zandkar zie. Hoeveel uren heeft de 309? Ik las uit vorige reacties op de video van de geschiedenis van jullie bedrijf dat je uit Rijsbergen kwam. Is dat het bedrijf op de hoek van Hellegatweg en Pater taksweg? Groetjes
@@pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047 Echt indrukwekkend Piet hoe jullie bedrijfsevolutie is gegaan. 2 keer alles achterlaten om de droom te verwezenlijken. Sterke koppen op die bedafjes. Je woonde vroeger op 20 min van mijn boerderij. Groetjes en succes
Really that's not very much eh and they say dariy farms are the top income producing farms I wish they would actually pay them more I mean they work hard they supply milk to everyone it' goes for any farmer like here in canada this carbon tax like it isn't fair to the farmers like government has no idea I grew up on a farm and worked in dariy its not easy work but once a farmer alwyss a farmer we love the country and farming
We use sand as bedding for the cows. The sand is very comfortable, it doesn't hold bacteria, and we are able to re-use it by separating it from the manure. The basic idea of the separator is that sand is heavier than manure, so it settles out of the manure. I have made a video on how the system works in the past.
Sand has many advantages, it's very comfortable for the cows, it doesn't hold bacteria so it's good for udder health and it provides extra traction for the cows. It can be a pain to deal with in the manure, but we feel it's the best option for the cows.
