You guys go subscribe to Jan's Tiktok it's hilarious! @saskdutchkid You won't be disappointed.... Look for the Jurassic Park video from a few days ago it's absolutely freaking hilarious!❤️❤️❤️❤️
My late husband worked on his grandfather's dairy farm in the 1940s and 1950s in New York state. It's some of the hardest work I know of. My hat is off to you all. God bless and Merry Christmas.
Your videos are never long enough. I really enjoy watching these and before you know it, it’s finished. Great job and huge commendation for the hard work you do.
I am loving your videos! You guys have one of the cleanest farms that I have ever seen! Thank you for answering questions that you get! You’re videos have been very entertaining but also very informative! Much love to you, your family, and your herd! Kristin from Oklahoma, USA 🎄🎄🎄
Great video Jan, I’m loving watching, what you probably think are just every day chores, but being 58 and never been on a working farm I find these vids really interesting, so thx for taking the time to film, edit and post,cheers, stay safe and look after each other
That's a good habit to learn lacing that power cord through the door handle to remember to unplug the block heater ! Great looking black hat you got there , when are you gonna start selling sask dutch kid merchandise? Thanks for sharing your work day, ✅🇺🇸
I live on a South Pacific island. Its a warm and sunny summers morning here but just watching this i had to find a blanket!😆 Wow, ive never ever seen weather like that irl. More power to you all for being able to work so hard in it. Sending best wishes and sunshine from Norfolk Island 🇳🇫❤🌴
Awesome video! Very cold! Brrr! Glad that you guys have a plan to deal with the freezing temperatures. Keep up the good work and keep on keeping on! God Bless! ❤️
LOL I wonder how those milker feel when you put the ice cold things on the teats. brrrr. Gotta love the projectile crap. Loved the video and try and keep warm.
Christmas tip 🧦: a new hairdryer for your sis and you take over the old one for the parlor.😁 Very efficient things for froze up waterlines, locking devices etc 👍
Howdy neighbour from Edmonton! You ever need an extra hand or two for a week I'd drive on over just for the work experience of seeing what goes into keeping our vital dairy industry going first hand. I love the feeling of accomplishment after a solid days work on our tree "farm" however the season for that is done. Bored out of my mind and would much rather be kept busy... or if you know any other dairy farms that need some extra labour. Loads of experience here, that's my thing.
Nothing worse when you need water on the farm to come out to frozen lines and hoses. Yes, I know what it's like to thaw things out and then the nozzles leak. We always have at least half a dozen or more spares. I like this video series. Didn't know you had to get up so early to milk.
You have one of the very best dairy facilities I've ever seen. I am retired dairy farmer, what I don't understand is no heat in parlor, losing one cow to ice in there would pay for a lot of propane to keep walkways dry
It's good to have that cord past the door to remind you. I have had couple problems forgetting the cord. Worst was when I drove away with with a deice truck at the airport and pulled the high voltage wire out of the wall and shut down power to the whole building.
Please continue sharing cleaning out the barns, even scraping the manure. I love watching it getting clean. So much easier than broom, swiffer, and vacuum. Thanks for including the weight difference on the bobcat. It’s interesting, for me, city woman. I’d love to drive bobcat etc. Drove old tractor in my cousins lap. Fun. Why different antiseptic sprays? Ty.
We normally will keep our parlor above 40 degrees f or like 2 or 3 degrees c (correct me if I'm wrong) and run the milk washers every hour between milking
It's been in the late thirties early forties this month in Queensland ,hottest day was forty six degrees Celsius.So we are envious of your weather ,but I wouldn't be able to go for a morning surf with your temperatures so I'll stick to our heat ,Cheers from down under.
You can buy a circulation pump and an electric heater governed by a thermostat for "cold" stables and barns. Animals also drinks more water if it's nice temperated.
Put some pipe insulation around the water lines, and when they freeze, use the hot water spray down through the insulation. The insulation will hold the heat and more quickly thaw.
Jan maybe it would be worth putting a small heater in the parlor when it’s going to be extra cold! We had a small heater working in the milkhouse in the winter at night.
Please add a heater to that water tank they are not that expensive and it will save you a lot of headache. We had one for our outside water tank in South Dakota and it never froze and we had happy cows.
Does the cow shit that you store stay in liquid form throughout winter? Specifically, the one that is under the building. If so, one could use that liquid body as a geothermal source of heat. Simple poly pipe lined around the pit (no junctions) and a foot off the bottom (on the wall). You could then pump a glycol/sugar/salt liquid through it to keep things from freezing in other parts of your barn.
I was thinking maybe if you got some type of low voltage heater line that you could wrap around that water bowl line and the parlor maybe that would help keep the ice away maybe even some insulating foam like a pool noodle. Thanks for the video.
It has so far been a beautiful winter Really and truly in Manitoba we haven’t had a week of “real winter” yet and it looks as if December is going to be pretty much over and there will be very little to complain about so far!
Dairy farm in Australia, you might be surprised that we can have freezing problems in our dairy in the winter. I will be milking tomorrow on Christmas Day ( it is summer). Happy Christmas to you.
We have chicken houses and have exhaust fans/ tunnel fans in our chicken houses. In the winter time to keep the cool air from coming through the fan shutters we put a plastic sheet behind the fan shutter and wedge it there with the locks. It works very well for keeping the cool wind from coming in.
Awesome👍 Love to see how clean you keep everything! I just can't imagine how they did large dairy farms from when I was a kid in the 60s. Be interesting to see how it was done back then, compared to all the convenience of modern equipment now. Are you guys just outside of Osler?
I used to hate this part of the year as you had to thaw waters and bed extra ontop of moving snow and everything else do to the cold weather. Couldn't wait for 12/21 as the days started to get longer.
There's so much extra to do because of the extreme cold but I wonder if there is also any particular task which is easier in the cold for a dairy farmer.
@SaskDutch Kid What is the life cycle of your cows? How long does it take from birth to when they have their first calf, to when they start milking. How many years does a cow milk? And do you send them to be made into steaks when they no longer serve the purpose of milking? What do you do with the male bulls? Do you raise them, or do you just sell them? Thanks.
i do not miss that part of the winter everything froze even the main cow waterline and line to the house not fun God bless and good luck we still had to carry our buckets we didn't have pipeline or parlor
You’re weather is just too cold for me. 🥶 In the winter, maybe the best design feature of your barns is that they are connected with the inside passageway.
Cover your back vents area over with plastic then seal around with a foam rubber seal tape. The idea is to make a stop gap of dead air space you cover front and back. If you frame it up it easy to remove and put back up. Easy fix
Hoi hier een kleine tip. Zorg ervoor dat het water altijd blijft stromen zo bevriest het niet. Een klein straaltje uit uit de kraan is al genoeg om het water in de leiding niet te laten bevriezen.
Next time you replace those mats on the floor of your parlour, you should get black ones instead. Should look nicer. We have some at my house and they look good.
Would it be worth while to have a space heater in the milking parlour when it gets so cold in there, just enough to take a bit of the chill off overnight? Where did the little calves get moved to that you loaded up into the calf bin? Those little calves are just the cutest!
Hey Jan, is there a way you can put water heaters in the water bowls to keep them from freezing? I'm just curious I know you guys will always find a way to get things to work. So whats next for SDK Keep up the good work And see you in the next video🤔🐄💦🌨😉
Infra-red panel heaters! Great job. Never do this again. Once you can put a drop cloth to separate the holding area after milking. Seriously look into em. It will save your water heater bill.
I don't think I could even move with the temperature at -45 ( and I don't care if it is C or F, since at that level they are both close to the same ) 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄

On behalf of all the milk truck drivers in Canada, thank you for keeping the yard clean. I wish some of the producers I pickup cared as much as you

I never fail to be so impressed with that calf barn and your management system. No doubt your Mom really loves it.
I'm from PA and a northern boy
This is so cool to see an SK man work hard 👍🏽
Great video Jan, I’m loving watching, what you probably think are just every day chores, but being 58 and never been on a working farm I find these vids really interesting, so thx for taking the time to film, edit and post,cheers, stay safe and look after each other

Nothing is colder than having to start your day at -45, and you're fresh out of the warm house. BRRRRRRR
Even worse with wind 🥶
First breath of cold air make you cough
I feel sorry for you.
Eat healthy and drink hot milk !
Are you still work on a dairy in 1963 watching this makes me want to go to Fresno California and buy my own dairy
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
I have been waiting on part 2 of this video. You have lots of freezing things to deal with. Looks like you have it under control. Stay warm.🇺🇸🎄🎅❄
Hard work in it shows' very impressed the condition of your barns and how your cattle look thanks for sharing Merry Christmas.
I love the curiosity of the cows. They want to be involved in everything. It’s dark here by 4:45
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
Are you able to set your sanitize wash cycle for about a half hour before you milk? That would keep your milk units from freezing.
LOL I wonder how those milker feel when you put the ice cold things on the teats. brrrr. Gotta love the projectile crap. Loved the video and try and keep warm.
I love watching the curious cows. They are always nosing around to see what's up, and of course- they want to be CZcams stars- and they are!
You should get a thermal camera and walk around the barn to see where the cold is seeping through
Christmas tip 🧦: a new hairdryer for your sis and you take over the old one for the parlor.😁 Very efficient things for froze up waterlines, locking devices etc 👍

And here's me panicking when my horses hosepipe freezes haha great job 🥰
once again a fantastic show what happens on your farm despite the cold weather

Ty.
Hi Jan, Those Jobe valve's for the water Bowl's are made where I live in Middle Earth Matamata NZ. They have really fast flow. Keep warm.
amazed you don't have heat in your parlour area given the winter temps you get.
We normally will keep our parlor above 40 degrees f or like 2 or 3 degrees c (correct me if I'm wrong) and run the milk washers every hour between milking
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
Of course they have projectile crap coming out of them...they’re like “ITS FREAKING COLD OUT THERE!!!” LOL

That sucks!☹ more work. But that freezing temperatures are just unbelievable.
save on the refrigeratoring the igloos when it in the 40 and cold for use laugh here in Canada
Kid Dutch, I was waiting to see this frozen episode seeing all those best not fully closing in the last video. You got some really nice equipment 👍
Great to see all the calves move on happy & healthy! 👍
It's interesting seeing all the odd jobs you do every day/week. Stay cool!!
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
I would try a heat tape on the lines that keep freezing. That should work. Love your videos.
You can buy a circulation pump and an electric heater governed by a thermostat for "cold" stables and barns. Animals also drinks more water if it's nice temperated.
Put some pipe insulation around the water lines, and when they freeze, use the hot water spray down through the insulation. The insulation will hold the heat and more quickly thaw.
Sounds like its time to invest in a diesel direct fire torpedo heater to blow straight down the aisle of the parlor.
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
We in Alberta have a tube heater like a Gordan Ray above the parlor works wonders as it radiant heat
I was thinking the same thing.
Floor heating is the best
@@AstronautSpaceCake can be a pain in the butt too we have overhead in the cow barns to take the frost out of the barms too
Good to see how you deal with the cold. Calves look great.
Jan maybe it would be worth putting a small heater in the parlor when it’s going to be extra cold! We had a small heater working in the milkhouse in the winter at night.
I love how you let your cows trot about and love when they keep an eye on you lol
I love when they come inquiring they are so curious like my 2 cats.
Please add a heater to that water tank they are not that expensive and it will save you a lot of headache. We had one for our outside water tank in South Dakota and it never froze and we had happy cows.
Does the cow shit that you store stay in liquid form throughout winter? Specifically, the one that is under the building. If so, one could use that liquid body as a geothermal source of heat.

I don’t know what it is, either you’re getting older or the cold air is getting to your brain but you’ve got the hat on the right way looks good. 👍🏻🤣
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
Your calf barn is super nice set up
Man if I were a cow I would want you to heat up the milkers every morning either that or make sure I wasn't the first batch of cows in . lol
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
O-boy, what a situation to wakeup to. Cold weather is mostly bad.
I was thinking maybe if you got some type of low voltage heater line that you could wrap around that water bowl line and the parlor maybe that would help keep the ice away maybe even some insulating foam like a pool noodle. Thanks for the video.
Man that is cold!!!!! Keep warm bud!!!
It has so far been a beautiful winter
Really and truly in Manitoba we haven’t had a week of “real winter” yet and it looks as if December is going to be pretty much over and there will be very little to complain about so far!
thanks for all your amazing videos. From Vancouver! #supporcanadianfarmers #supportcanada
U should put a spring or a rubber band on the line to each flap on the roof vents. It will allow each vent flap to close fully
Always interesting videos and I enjoy them very much, here is Southern California (where it never gets below 40F) Sorry about that LOL
Here in North England it's dark till 8 in the morning and dark by 4 at night so least u get a couple more hours
I really like the video since you are good at really describing how the dairy farm works. Merry Christmas!
Have you considered mounting foam insulation sheets over the lever vents to improve warmth at the end of the barn where you have freezing?
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
Dairy farm in Australia, you might be surprised that we can have freezing problems in our dairy in the winter. I will be milking tomorrow on Christmas Day ( it is summer). Happy Christmas to you.
Yeah January and February I look forward to warmer weather.
Here in Ireland it’s pitch black at 4:30 very frustrating
We have chicken houses and have exhaust fans/ tunnel fans in our chicken houses. In the winter time to keep the cool air from coming through the fan shutters we put a plastic sheet behind the fan shutter and wedge it there with the locks. It works very well for keeping the cool wind from coming in.
Nice calf facility. Really well designed. Has to help with calf health.
Pretty nice calf digs.
Awesome👍 Love to see how clean you keep everything! I just can't imagine how they did large dairy farms from when I was a kid in the 60s. Be interesting to see how it was done back then, compared to all the convenience of modern equipment now. Are you guys just outside of Osler?

Its how how jan is in a problem he will think a way of solving it. I also like how he uploads a lot👍👍
You could hang/tape some poly sheeting over the exhaust fans. Poly sheeting is inexpensive. It is in the States anyway.
This type video shows how important building design is.
Jan, move that operation to the “SUNNY SOUTH” and you can spend your spare time on the SNOW WHITE BEACHES🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jan, Frozen water lines at 4:00AM, not a lot of fun and extra work. Maybe a portable heater set to low in extremely cold conditions might help. IMO.
Please make the cows comfy cozy with a bit more warmth. Happy cows make more milk 🐮
There's so much extra to do because of the extreme cold but I wonder if there is also any particular task which is easier in the cold for a dairy farmer.

Take plastic and cover the vents near the water bowl, and that should take care of that problem.
Jan, why would not you do a Q&A video with your dad and sister over some questions about your family, the dairy farm etc. That will be great !
You guys are super clean. I only know dairy farms here in the UK to be muddy and full of cow 🐄 poop... not good!
Love your videos, keep 'em comin'!!!
You’re weather is just too cold for me. 🥶 In the winter, maybe the best design feature of your barns is that they are connected with the inside passageway.

Cold up there!
insulated curtains on either end.
Portable electric radiator heater to keep room 2 or 3 degrees above freezing.
Guess you got to figure something out. Canada's a cold place this time of year.
Dairy farmers have to be Hardy over in Canada, worst I've had to deal with in the UK -16 Celsius burst pipes everywhere
Hoi hier een kleine tip.

I'm in Ohio been abt 30 deg F. Get dark abt 5:15p, guess days get longer 21 dec, yeah !

Good way to thaw out a hose is to wrap it in a towel soaked in very hot water. Thaws out quick.
Hey Jan, is there a way you can put water heaters in the water bowls to keep them from freezing? I'm just curious I know you guys will always find a way to get things to work. So whats next for SDK Keep up the good work And see you in the next video🤔🐄💦🌨😉
-45 C without the wind....that's cold!
it is new but no heat indoors?! 🤯. things break when it gets frozen and it must take a lot of unnecessary time. 😬
Infra-red panel heaters! Great job. Never do this again. Once you can put a drop cloth to separate the holding area after milking. Seriously look into em. It will save your water heater bill.

Wouldn't it be easier to have a heating system?
czcams.com/video/7Ad31_zHiIQ/video.html .
No it would be vary expensive like vary vary and you need that ventilation for the cows
During the winter just disconnect the hose leave it hanging during the night
The best thing in the farming that you contact animals not humans hhhh , 💪👍 from ALGERIA 🇩🇿
Dont leave frozen pipe too long. If it breacks in the floor lots o problems and money! Build better insulation boxes over the fan louvers!
Always enjoy your videos.
