The Dairy has just gotten a little bigger, to think, It is operated by Only mum and dad, you , big and little sis, Dima and the mech. tech. It is always amazing how dedicated and hard working you all are !
Congrats on getting the new addition up and running. I'm not sure why but I enjoy watching your manure handling. I used to help a friend clean his calf barn by hand and using a Berg gutter system. It was still a lot of work. Your so well equipped and modern.
Hi Jan: - A lot of planning gives good results. Even the old barn gives you more room for new calves. You and Cole or wonderful examples of good enterprise. You look good with that crew cut - maybe a little shorter might be better. Thanks for the video, Jan. Always a pleasure to visit your farm and see the latest things you are doing.
Hone. Thank You for the video i am an old farm boy and enjoy watching all typs of farming videos. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.
Jan...must be nice to put on a fresh coat of manure on that new concrete.? Looks nice although the lower bar at the drop in seen to impede some more sold manure. 🍁👍😎
Would you consider the skid steer with the tire scrapper the worlds largest pooper scooper? Tell Neline that Bob said she has beautiful hands even when her nails aren't done! Thanks for doing all you do to keep the rest of us feed!
What you guys call hairy wart disease and strawberry foot, here in the UK it's digital dermatitis and foul- yea, cuso4 is the most economical way to treat it herd wise, or its picking up feet, spraying the back of the affected foot if it's dig derm or using antibiotics if the foul is making the back of the foot start to go pink and swell up- we can get a drug that is an antibiotic, but no milk withdrawal which is pretty effective for treating fouls. Best way of avoiding those problems- clean as possible areas, minimal muck build up.
Another great video Jan, thanks for keeping us entertained with your wholesome dairy farm videos! Also I love seeing your family working together especially your cute sister, I’m looking forward to her next video!!! Merry Christmas 🎄 to everyone 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄🐄
Why not have the bottom bars on the the rail infront of the "slot" made so the come off or open back or not have them there atal? Do you not wet down the passages before you scrape them
Hi Jan. Congratulations on another very enjoyable video. I am a Irish dairy farmer and as matter of interest how many times s week do you foot Bath your cows and why do you use hot water.
I was sorely disappointed to watch you scrape all the cow shit on your nice new concrete floor. Oh well, can't stay new forever lol. Nice new loader - this one has an engine cover. Good videos.
Hat on, hat off, two different hair styles, Jan is a hot guy no matter how we dress him. Little loader manure out, big loader manure onto the turd hearse, pretty efficient operation. Good video. Pax.
Always enjoy you videos Jan, you guys are very careful of cleanliness and disease etc. That Bobcat is the exception. Don’t know if you do any maintenance to it or remember the last time you cleaned it. Watched the new addition coming along, looking pretty spiffy. Cheers my friend
@@amandavancpsti that’s like saying I’m not going to wash the car because it will only get dirty again. When the sludge or manure gets in the moving parts of the machine it can cause bearing failure or rapid wear because of the sand acts like sandpaper. It also is a rolling germ /disease pit which is what they are trying to prevent. Cheers.
@@gerryspang5917 I rinse the salt off my car living in the Northeast about 1x/mo, but it’s easier to drive thru the car wash than cleaning that. Since they have had the farm for as long as they have, it seems like they are doing something right 😬
@@amandavancpsti they are doing a lot of things right, they are hard working people, they are not that far from where I’m at. I was making a comment, you rinse your car once a month, because you don’t want it to rust, that was kind of what I meant for them. It’s called preventive maintenance.
That is a great idea. That bobcat weights twice as much as it should - half the weight is cowpoop. Jan, seriously, you can't have a super clean barn if your equipment is a mess. If you cleaned it once a week, it wouldn't take that long and you would have a nice time for rlaxing while you sprayed the bobcat.
So I’ve never seen a dark-time (late night) with the ladies recumbent. Do they normally sleep lying down? And you could bring your Bobcat to my house for a little pick up. But, just, wow!! Is your work ever done?
Do you have a constant water drip flow through your trough ? We find that with ours it requires an abnormal amount of water to work efficiently ( cool hair!)
PLEASE also share with us some of the ideas you guys applied but didn't work out well. That can also be a great topic and save others from such mistakes. And we do appreciate what you have been sharing with the whole world. It is a treasure you are sharing. Regards. Live long and healthy... all of you.
Just wanted to know if the delay on the overhead doors is do to the pandemic as we are experiencing here in the states, and if so when do you expect them.
