Tour Of Kerry's 540 Cow Canterbury Dairy Farm 

Really interesting video thanks Andrew. Great to see that Kerry replanted the beet plant he pulled out instead of just dropping it on the ground. True OCD, wouldn't want to see a gap in the row!

Brilliant video Andrew - and great go watch 🇬🇧 be good to see another like this 👌👌

I manage a farm just out of ashburton. The whole Canterbury Plains has changed since spray Irrigation got big. The old flood Irrigation days was horrible. On our farm we're using 50% less water and growing more grass

Great tour👍thanks Andrew and Kerry.

Cheers for the vid 👍👍👍

As someone who farms in Canterbury, its awesome to see how others farms are run and to see others operations within the area

Great video love it when farmers do a tour of them visiting other farms thank you Kerry for letting Andrew film your ‘set up ‘ today loved it 😊

Great content team well done and all the best going forward

Fantastic flat fields

Wow Andrew that was awesome 😊😮 Its completely different to me here in northland. Didnt want the video to end. Just thinking me in northland, you in the Waikato and Kerry in Canterbury and how different our land is and how farming goes. Yes im even envious of the grass you grow , never mind that amazing green stuff Kerry can grow. That was refreshing to see what they do down there . Tidy tanker area, puts me to complete shame 😢 😂 Time to up my game I guess

Really interesting video, well put together 👍🏼

500 solids a cow with only 650kg/cow of imported feed is very impressive. Top notch operator. How many hectares was the farm? I missed that.

Great video Andrew, interesting get a glimpse into the larger farms. I worked on a 500 cow farm here in Ireland and the scale of everything keeps you on your toes. Hope all is good on your end lad.

Good to see a different dairying system in NZ. Cheers 🇦🇺 1:11

It’s a brilliant way of getting young people into agriculture, NZ share farming I wish people would do it here in the UK. Very interesting video Andrew 👍🏻👌🏻

Great video Andrew. Almost 10 years ago to the day I finished up my college placement on a farm near rakaia in Canterbury before heading back to Ireland

Really good video Canterbury has got to be the best place in the world for dairy farming

Great production per cow 🐄

Awsome content 👌

Excellent video that, really like the farm tour type videos.

Fascinating!

Great video Andrew

Interesting video

good job

Awesome set up Andrew, seriously flat for sure. You wouldn't see or even require any of those pivots over here 😉🤣

Essa sala de ordenha moderna é um show 😊...

Great video. Loved the tour, reminded me of some of the sights I saw while working over there years ago. Interesting to see that dairy cattle aren’t allowed on ground they haven’t been on before

Hi Andrew, if you are in southland one day and you want to spend time at a Hooftrimming crush like that, come see me. I got the other Appleton Steel chute. They came to together.

I wanna to visit your diary cow firm. So attractive work.

Best 👍👍👍

Might ask sometime about what the management considerations for cow hoof health are in Canterbury these days. When the boom irrigator is travelling straight forward/ reverse, they are called a linear travelling boom irrigator. At least there were plenty of straw bales to tie down/ weigh down the irrigator booms with for stong winds.

Great video andrew.l credit due to kerry

Thanks Andrew and Kerry for the video - You're doing a great job Kerry and well filmed and compered Andrew. I've got a question for Kerry.. How time efficient is the slurry wagon .. If you were converting a farm and couldnt put the effluwnt hrough a pivot would you go with a travelling irrigator like a Williams or would you go with the slurry wagon? cheers Simon Mackle, Kaikoura

Hey Andrew it would be cool if you did a new farm tour on your farm as your old ones a bit out dated now would be a cool video to watch. Keep up the awesome videos bro❤

👀🙄🐾👍 Very interesting Andrew it's a shame you couldn't convey how cold it can be down in the South Island

Great video, like the idea with the mating and not wasting straws on the bottom 20% and putting them straight to the bulls. Learn something new every day. Is one of the farms Kerry runs near Leeston?

I have been wondering for some time what impact it has to stop most water flowing into the ocean. Given our human tendency to break natural cycles and cause unintended consequences, I think it is something that needs to be researched before it is completely interrupted.

Thanks for great interesting video. Quick question , what do you mean F10 or F12 ??? I presume the ban on more cows is to do with nitrate levels in run off water ??? Thanks again Andrew 😊

Are the input costs different between chch and Waikato

Is Canterbury a dryer part of NZ? Is it dryer than your farm? So how much % Jersey is his target cow? Then the balance is just Frisian? No other breeds? When he is grazing the fodder beet does he feed less barley during milking?

I need come there in new Zealand cow farm for working. So How to apply sir?

One comment seemed like Kerry was not the owner of the land?

Problem with kiwi cross is like cow at start health problems

I'm from the USA I watch all your videos. Also wondering why you only milk once a day. You have a big accent that guy really has a strong accent but cool keep doing them
