@10th Generation Dairyman I have been watching you for a few years now. I love how you and your dad continually, intelligently upgrade your farm. Cow comfort and cleanliness is paramount for you guys and I love that. You respect the cow and understand it’s worth. You guys are an example of how many dairy farms around the world should be.
Farms are some of the best labs known. If there’s a way to be more productive and reduce cost a farmer will figure it out. Hope the new set up does just that for you guys.
That new system seems pretty efficient and hopefully will save you a lot of expense. Great video and thanks till next time. Wondering how the solar system is working out.
This is one of my top 5 channels. The amount of paper towels discarded everyday is staggering. I know you were regretting not buying it 5 years ago when it was 30% of the price it is today. Rock on Dairy family. Do you ever take a family vacation with mom and dad and all the kids. I hope you do. That would be a fun video as well.
We use paper towels, and they all get spread in the field with bedded pack manure and break down into the soil. That is the way everyone I have heard of gets rid of paper towels.
I used a similar system before we finished milking in a parlour. Ours was a pistol grip style which although quite weighty put less strain on your wrist. 🏴
1:45 one thing I might suggest for your RO system is maybe a sediment prefilter and a UV light before the RO. Unless you know your well is Bacteria free than it doesn't matter. But bacteria build up can clog the RO membrane filter quickly
@@daveklein2826 Just a water filtration technician. Only installed 30 whole house RO systems this year. I probably wouldn't know a thing about well water and the troubles it causes.
150000 SCC avg is pretty good, and 100k even better. I've never seen a Swinging parallel before, grew up with a Swinging 6 Hi Line, updated to double lowline, which really upped through put. But y'all know what works for you. Great video!
Looking like a good addition with consistency and cleanliness when used correctly! Ever look into stray voltage with your herd dancing around more than other herds in the parlor during prep? And struggles with SCC to keep it low, you mentioned at times.
We have also have the futurecow in our parlour, they hang on a steel cable with a pulley to take out the weight, doesn’t matter which milker, the teeth are always very clean
Sounds like this was a real easy call to get the FutureCow system. Your cows doesn't seem to have any big issue with the brushing, hopefully you have great success with this system, seems to be good. Good luck with all of the system, thanks for sharing, have a great rest of week!
Apparently the new teat cleaner is tickling the cows when it is used. The way they move their leg reminds me of the way they do that when horse flies bother them or if the teats became overly sensitive from tall pasture grass. We didn’t have more than four milk cows on our farm growing up. We had a lot of beef steers mostly, but used the milk and sold the cream to close customers.
Hello Eric, Does the electric brush utter clean it self ? Cows our doing the dance with the electric brush utter cleaner. Very nice system save paper towel’s .
Found this channel randomly and have absolutely no clue about farming or dairy but I’ve been binge watching an unhealthy amount of your videos. Definitely a new interest for me
Didn’t you have milkers on both sides of the parlor before ? How does this new system work as far as time is concerned ? Does it take more time ? I would think it would. Are you going to install milkers on the other side in the future ?
Eric why do you milk three times a day? Seems like other dairy farms I’ve watched only do it twice a day. Love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to teach us non farmers. 🙏👏👍🇺🇸
Is there a cost or production benefit to milking three times a day versus two times a day? I would think it costs more in labor. I wonder how many times cows will self milk themselves at the automated parlors
I should do a video on it sometime. It definitely pays to milk 3x if you have the help. Robot milkers average 2.5 to 3 milkings per day from what I hear.
Нельзя просто перевести коров на доение три раза. Надо пересчитывать рацион, настраивать доильное оборудование. При доении два раза оборудование оставляет меньше молока в вымени.
An adaptation of the robotic milking System., brilliant. One of the reasons cows are a little fidgety is the start of oxytocin in the letdown process tingles a bit. Ask your wife about it if she breastfed your children.
Hmm...seems like the body of this new device comes into contact with adjacent teets at various stages of cleaning and potentially could transfer contamination from one cow to another? Otherwise, this seems like it speeds the process considerably!
Wouldn't that annoy the heck out of the cows? Over here in nz if teats are dirty we just squat with water and put cups on and most of us only milk 2 times day
@@daveklein2826 Aw come on, really? This is the world we live in now huh? Can't even make an absurd joke knowing I am just joking and having a laugh. I KNEW there'd be someone who got their panties in a twist. Feel better having defended and imaginary scenario?
Only problem i see with that system is when cows have mastitis it will live in the brushes no matter how much you clean the brushes it will always be there an if you use on a cow that has that infection an then a cow that doesn’t then that cow becomes infected as well don’t get me wrong its a nice system but i can see you guys not keeping it forever
@@jwiereng wont matter how much clean or change the brushes once it spreads it will be hard to detect unless eric or his dad are there in the parlor stripping the teets out i know on the farm i work on i can spot the start of the mastitis when im prepping cause i look at the towel after i wipe each cow before i move to the next one an so on an see white stuff that is a bit thicker then milk
Nice to see a progressive dairyman. Have seen dairy farm CZcamsrs putting the machine on the cow with manure still on the teat. Average person sees that and its a wonder anyone is drinking milk.
Some milkers have cleaning in the cup. For example GEA’s proven In-Liner Everything™ technology performs every step of the milking process - stimulation, teat cleaning, forestripping, milk harvest and post‑dipping - in a single attachment. This uniform, quick and comfortable process, all occurring within the teat cup, is key to harvesting excellent quality milk while maximizing the efficiency
Wow, If it works, thats some pretty amazing technology. As a former dairy farmer from 30 plus years ago, I still prefer the old way (when done properly).

Your dairy farm is immaculately maintained. Love this channel.
Nice machines, great idea for cleaning the teats also your milking parlor is so clean great job, great farm 🚜
With out doubt you would have to be the hardest working CZcams farmer.
Great work 🇦🇺

Nice system. Should be a good addition to the dairy. These days you really have to consider everything to reduce labor.
Your farm is so clean and beautiful 🍁🍁🇺🇸

The parlor Janice an fresh looking you guys do a great job Thank you 😎
Nice video! Best wishes for you new Future Cow system.
Looks practical.
that is a good idea thing to do now it can mix auto all the time on it own thanks for sharing
Well done!
I enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Maybe you could do an overview of your solar installation and how it is working thanks.
Thanks for sharing. As always you take such good care of the ladies.
Nice upgrade!
The new system is very impressive. Thanks for showing how it all works. Enjoyed that a lot.
Keep it up Eric
Your milking floor is Very Clean milking looks like is much easier great job😅😅
Very impressive...................
Awesome!!!! You always seem to have the most up to date products..very nice 🎉 how many cows you milk a day??? God bless❤🙏
Nice addition. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Way to go !
Hi eric looks like the new system works well and a money saver.
Good stuff
That device looks like it will definitely help with milking process
Hello Eric, Does the electric brush utter clean it self ? Cows our doing the dance with the electric brush utter cleaner. Very nice system save paper towel’s .
Love from Punjab bro❤
Great awesome video
really cool
Found this channel randomly and have absolutely no clue about farming or dairy but I’ve been binge watching an unhealthy amount of your videos. Definitely a new interest for me
ONLY good thing about missing an upload is now I have 2 videos to watch 😂
Pretty cool. The cows are definitely wondering what is going on down there.
Phnn
Didn’t you have milkers on both sides of the parlor before ? How does this new system work as far as time is concerned ? Does it take more time ? I would think it would. Are you going to install milkers on the other side in the future ?
How things have since my late father was a dairy farmer in the fourties and than his brother until the sixties.
Eric why do you milk three times a day? Seems like other dairy farms I’ve watched only do it twice a day. Love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to teach us non farmers. 🙏👏👍🇺🇸
It really depends on cows how much they produced and more milk that’s why farmers are milking 3 times per day.
Neat!
Is the light on the new prep washer a UV light that might help with killing bacteria
Thanks! Enjoy learning about life on a dairy farm and how technology is changing how you do things.🙏🇺🇸
How many cows per milking require some addition hand scrubbing?
Technology right priced is an option. Nice to see new and what was replaced.
Can you do another video on smacxtec please im interested to see how it's going
❤❤❤
With this new system, are they still getting post-dip or they don't need it now?
That probably tickles.
Liked
Is there a cost or production benefit to milking three times a day versus two times a day? I would think it costs more in labor. I wonder how many times cows will self milk themselves at the automated parlors
I should do a video on it sometime. It definitely pays to milk 3x if you have the help. Robot milkers average 2.5 to 3 milkings per day from what I hear.
If you have a high-producing herd then you milk often.

Curious because most i follow only milk twice a day

Do you loose any parlor time with this new system or is it about the same?
Beginninghhhphujjhhjjjjjnbbbbnnbnbbbb
Instructions not clear, would my wife like this brush for Christmas?
I can't help it, just shaking my head. Will this last as long as the foamers that were tried?
Stevy let the professional deal with it
👍👍Boss 👍Ok
New bit of tech, FutureCow is a cool name, right? The second gen will have a lighter hand wand I’m sure. Good luck with it all.
👍 🥛
Cool! I guess. So, y'all never lose electricity? Or do you have a back up generator?
They have solar panels
@@daveklein2826 They do. I forgot.
What are the benefits of milking three times daily versus two times?
Main benefit is 8+ more lbs of milk per day per cow. Also potentially better udder health.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 wow, that’s huge. Thank you
Keep extra parts to repair or replace the washer head.
Wow. Thank you Captain Obvious
Really
Is 3 times more profitable with labor cost and cleaning cost compared to twice a day?
Usually get more milk per day if milked 3 times a day.
I wonder if the cows are jumpier when they can’t see you because we milk in a station and the cows aren’t bad at all
That's the way they always milk their cows
Hmm...seems like the body of this new device comes into contact with adjacent teets at various stages of cleaning and potentially could transfer contamination from one cow to another? Otherwise, this seems like it speeds the process considerably!
A device covered in chloride is going to transfer?
Looks like the cows don’t care for it much
Я знаю, что еще можно этой приблудой мыть, но... Гусары, молчать !)
How many units ? I could not count. Swing 12?
14
Wouldn't that annoy the heck out of the cows? Over here in nz if teats are dirty we just squat with water and put cups on and most of us only milk 2 times day
I know they do that over there but I don't know how that works. Everyone around here pre-dips and cleans every cow or we have mastitus problems.
My wife's nursing triplets. Maybe I can get this set up for her...

Why do you cut their tails??
Because they are reaching in from behind the cows.
Hi Eric, have you ever looked at the appollo cluster that applies post dip within the liner ? Not sure how robust it would be .
Yes I like the concept but I hear they are hard to maintain.
I still don't like the idea of not stripping them out before putting milker on
Yeah we always have the option to add that step
Tod doesn't like it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Anything that less wasteful is always a bonus in the modern world!
Pretty kool device hope it works out well for u guys
1st
Who is milking with you
Only problem i see with that system is when cows have mastitis it will live in the brushes no matter how much you clean the brushes it will always be there an if you use on a cow that has that infection an then a cow that doesn’t then that cow becomes infected as well don’t get me wrong its a nice system but i can see you guys not keeping it forever
The chlorine dioxide will kill the pathogens.
Hopefully the disinfectant does a good job of disinfecting the machine, so it does not spread from one cow to the next
@@jwiereng wont matter how much clean or change the brushes once it spreads it will be hard to detect unless eric or his dad are there in the parlor stripping the teets out i know on the farm i work on i can spot the start of the mastitis when im prepping cause i look at the towel after i wipe each cow before i move to the next one an so on an see white stuff that is a bit thicker then milk
@@farmerrob385 I agree, that without pre-stripping the problems might go undetected
