I agree, I was thinking that just the other day the only other facility for raising animals that I've seen that's as clean, is the hog farm that the guys on "This'll Do Farms" have.
Love your mum's accent. Makes me homesick though. Your calf barn is so beautifully kept. It's a testament to good farmer's deliver good product. I need a glass of milk now!
Clever feed bag setup. You have an amazing setup. Everything is so well planned out and clean. Whoever did your concrete work was a real craftsman. So many details that had to be figured in. It was great to see your mom and sister. This video was really informative and I seriously enjoyed it.
Spent age 15 to 62 living in Northern Minnesota. Unless someone has actually lived in the -50 weather you have no idea how bone chilling it can be. If cars even start (thank god for engine heaters) it takes forever to start moving when you step on the gas, and then it’s like a tank going clunk, clunk as it goes down the road before the tires get pliable enough again. Can't imagine farm equipment. I am amazed how you guys don’t have more things freeze up on your farms. Hats off to you and your family for their preparation of the cold and your love of your animals. Love your videos.
Your comment about the calves undoing the pins that keep the panels in place. We fattened Holsten steers, 90 head a week so we had a lot of corrals full. We had a chain with a bent bolt to latch the gate shut. Never had a problem with beef cattle but when we started raising the Holsteins gate started getting opened. We put snap latches on the chains, still the would get out, finally we had to put padlocks on every gate. Holsteins have the most maneuverable tong of any breed!
Wow. Great job explaining. After watching you and the 10th Generation Dairyman(Eric), I never complain about what I pay for milk and dairy products. I see that it is very costly and a lot of work.
I live in rural New Mexico in a small town. I was a nurse for many years and now I write fun, fiction mysteries that take place in different states and venues. The book I'm writing now take place on a dairy farm. I was actually raised in the city and I knew very little about dairy farming before I began to watch your videos. I have learned so much. I watch them every day and I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for the videos. Sydney J. Smart Mountainair, New Mexico
I really liked how your mother and sister agreed to be interviewed on their specialised duties,I really love the family oriented atmosphere around the farm.Keep these videos coming yan. Oh and I can't begin to imagine what -51°feels like.I'm here in Barbados where we have sunshine daily 😊
Would be interesting to see perhaps some photos you may have of your old barns, I think you unlisted some of the earliest videos that I have watched when it was being built.
My parents had a farm back in 1950. They also had 100's of milkers. Finally, technology came and they put in milkers. It's such hard work and you have a beautiful clean farm. Watch every video of yours. Stay warm!!
Yup!!! Nice and enslaved too. Tagged, and used as a commodity. No mother to clean and love them either. Imagine we did this to human mothers and their babies. It would be an atrocity right? For some reason, it's ok to oppress cows like this. Sick!!!
I just want to say that I have not asked very many questions lately because your presentations are very informative, complete and do not leave me with unanswered thoughts. I am amused as I learn from you, so please do not think I no longer am interested; I wait for notifications and watch as soon as possible Thank you and greetings to your Mom and Sisters. Dad too.
That was fun, and interesting. I like anything about the calves. I'm sure the bull calves are glad you keep them inside. Nice to hear what the girls have to say about their part of the operation. Good video. Peace.
You put out some very good videos and you are s very mature and a hard worker beautiful dairy farm always enjoy watching stay safe God bless you and your family you explain everything so well
I find it interesting how you effortlessly switch between SAE and metric when explaining. I wish the US had stayed with it when Carter started the changeover.
Very impressive Jan and family! You an honor to dairy or mixed farming business! The calves' barn is so beautiful, clean and well kept, perfect. All very well designed and further improved. The Holsteins are some of the healthiest I've ever seen with sufficient room. You're together doing a great job. Great to get the responses on questions from your mother and Neline!
Your farm is top notch and I am impressed how you guys handle the extreme cold! I can't even imagine it. I'm from the eastern part of Pennsylvania and about the coldest it gets here is maybe 5 or 10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit but not very often!!
I still think the red and white holsteins add a splash of color to an otherwise monochromatic herd. You do such a good job in raising all your cattle. Be it the replacement heifers or the steers for market. Keep up the good work
The "Baby Calf" & "Mid Age Calf" rooms are cleaner than a few restaurants that I have come across. You can eat off the floor in those rooms. I am surprised that most of the calves laying in the pens facing the back wall. I would think they would like to see others calves across the way. Mom was too modest in her answer. She should have said that she pondered many changes & modifications after seeing a few neighboring calf barns to come up with the very best design for your farm. I fully understand & appreciate you not wanting to film outside with a -53C ( -64F ) wind chill factor. I am now embarrassed to say that last week I did not golf here in Florida (USA) as the temperature was 65F ( 18C ). Lastly, I too must be well cared for, as I also have a bit of FAT on my ribs like your healthy calves. This vlog was so good, informative, & well presented that I feel I can now pass Collège AG 101. Thank you 🐮🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 X 10
My father only used milk replacer when we might have had a lot of young calves. Also worked to get calves drinking from a bucket almost immediately, very rarely used a pail with a nipple or a nipple bottle. I could probably easily remember how we did it!
As always your videos are so informative and educational. Your facilities appear to be "state of the art" and even though expensive to construct will pay dividends in the future. Your channel, the Cole Sonne channel, and Larson Farms (both Chet and Erik are such clowns🤣🤣) are my favorite channels.
Wonderful views very put together very clean facility cannot be cleaner good job sashDutch family great place to get clean and healthy milks keep it up sashDutch k .family be safe and keep warm family and all the animals warm.peace and love s.D.k.f.
Your video was very informative lots of information. I wish I had your calf barn back in the 80's and 90's when I raised calves. It would look awesome to get a drone footage on a very cold morning and see all the exhaust fans working making your dairy look like a big factory at work..
another great video, you guys really put some thought into the design. Loved the question section with your mother and sister. I tell you, you guys have the best cleanest operation I have seen, and your cows and calves are superior
I agree. Their cows are a notch above. It's obvious that it can be done. The cows seem to move better. More freely. If you watch others dairy cattle, they appear really stove up.
Really great having Sis and Mom answering the questions about the babies. Keep up the informative videos. You can keep the -53 c temps though. -12 F in Colorado this past weekend was too cold for me.
Very nice. We started with a calf barn and switched to Polydome calf hutches with 2 chopped small square straw bales in the bottom. We found that the calves actually grew quicker and bigger in the hutches. We also completely eliminated having to give any medication for Pneumonia as none of them ever got it in the hutches. It was the best thing we ever did.
Thanks for the tour and for answering audience's questions. Disinfectant for the calf barn when you clean it up? Muriatic acid? What are the stickies or tags on top of the pen posts? Do the calves grow a thick winter coat before they are put outside or the colder outside temps triggers the growth of the coat? I take it that the old barn was where the new barn structure is at the present time? Besides the immediate family, how many other people are involved in the day-to-day operations? 👍🍁😎
I want to be a calf now what good milk !!!!! this video I learned so much Your barns are SOOO mch cleaner that ours were Love you peole that work WORK so much for me to have Milk .. and beef to eat... thanks.Granny90yrs
You have a very impressive cow barn, I bet it cost a pretty penny too. Your mom, sis, and you did a good job explaining things. How long has your family been dairy/beef farm?
Jan Thanks for this, you folks did an excellent job of explaining that part of your facility. Just a couple questions if I may. How long did the design/architecture phase take and how long for the actual build? Enjoy the nice weather we are about to get, you might be able to get all your watering bowls cleaned off!
Three things stand out, cleanliness, cows milk, and bull calves, here in Ireland there is a huge issue with bull calves from a rapidly increasing dairy herd as farmers were threatening to just kill the bull calves which caused a huge public outcry and did nothing to enhance farmers reputation.
Nice set up . Have you ever experimented with pulling out the dividing walls between calves after they are a couple weeks old to run in small groups (paired to 4-5 calves ) . We mob feed , and will group calves in groups of 3 to 5 calves after they are 10 days old . Probably somewhat more disease risk , but better socialization.
Great question BayBend! I wanted to ask the same! The herd ends up very socialized as adults with quite a 'pecking order'. I would think that individual isolation does help tremendously with 'catching things' and feed hogs, but have there been ag studies of breaking mother/baby bond causing depression/aggression/lethargy/stunting growth--etc.?? It is documented with zoo animals and orphaned babies from poaching--monkeys, chimps, apes to elephants! Jan, amazing talent, great videos, loved seeing Jan's mom! Mom, were you raised on a dairy also?
If you notice in the beginning he open's a door where young calves are kept together for a while before going outside. They stay in the nursery a short time. Being by themselves assures every calf gets a good ration of feed and the weaker ones are not bullied and pushed aside. A comparison can be made with piglets, stronger ones in a litter get the better producing teats and the runts are left with the rear ones.
nice to see your mother ... saw your dad briefly before ... nice accent... can you tell us about their history: why and when did they come to canada; why choose saskatchewan; how did they finance initial homestead; what is the history of the family in the old country? glad your family decided on canada - we need a lot more good people like your family
What a change to the barns I used to see where I lived south of Amsterdam and again around Leeuwarden Airfield during the fifties ! I congratulate your family for what they have achieved migrating to Canada, but I would not like your cold and snow !! Bert in Melbourne Australia
Very well designed and made farm, very clean and efficient. Very cute calf always fun to be around calf’s and cows. Doing some farm work at the farm of the family in law . Funny your family is ductch I installed the first positive pressure ventilation system in a pig farm my first year working in construction
Youre calves' barn Is insane..It Is Better tham my bedroom..i can live in that..really congrats its Just beatiful..this Is the thing that I envy you the most
I really like your set up. I wish i had that sort of set up when i used to be a farm worker. Can i ask why do you pasteurized the milk for the calfs. Instead of giving them raw milk? Thank you for showing us your set up. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment. Regards Richard
When I used to work on a dairy farm we used to feed the calfs on the milk straight from the cow's even the milk that was held back due to antibiotics. I am just really curious why they pasteurize the milk first. Regards Richard
What a phenomenal video! Thank you for sharing this interesting and I’m certain very valuable information to other farmers. You always have something on your farm to teach us.
Can you explain the Cycle that the cow goes through. Example Wet, Dry,Wet again. What is the time between each. How many of these cycles does a cow go through in their life time. Love your video shows real life of a dairy farmer.
You mentioned that you keep all of heifer calves, do you then cull your cows every year to maintain a set number of milk cows at that 350 mark or how does that work?
Great educational video....well done Jan. So glad that you had this to film to get out of the -53C weather...yikes. Do you band the bull calves, if so when? The bulls that you use in the outside pens; are they ones you raised or purchased elsewhere? Do you ever sell bull calves to fellow dairymen to use as herd sires?
If I ever need to convalesce after a surgery, I hope the hospital is as clean as your calf barn.
The entire facility has been thoroughly thought out. It is one of the cleanest dairy farms I’ve seen. Great job!👏🏼
I agree, I was thinking that just the other day the only other facility for raising animals that I've seen that's as clean, is the hog farm that the guys on "This'll Do Farms" have.
Yes!!! Also an amazing farm to check out is Sandi Brock, she’s in Ontario and raises meat sheep.
@@bullybaby Sandi is an awesome sheep farmer!✌🏼
@@TheGreatPOD I went and subscribed to their account. Thanks for the info.✌🏼
How often do the inspectors come for a look about?
Love your mum's accent. Makes me homesick though. Your calf barn is so beautifully kept. It's a testament to good farmer's deliver good product. I need a glass of milk now!

Did -65. You said it best, its an experience.
I live in Erie Pennsylvania and I felt -16°F and that's cold 🥶 so -50 anything you can keep it!
@@troydavis4452 😂Thats still cold. Ya Canada in the Rockies is a son of a gun cold.

It’s great to see and hear from the ladies. You all seem to be so compatible working together.
Those calves are so darn cute and they are in such good shape.

life is good! lots of thought went into the planning of that farm well done and just think you are a big part of it -64 degrees F that is cold!
Your dairy farm is really clean compared to most of my other dairy farm shows I watch. Great job.

great vidio Jan. Thank You
Great video. Well taken care of critters
Very impressive and very informative , well done . Also , very impressive layout and impressive management
So comfortable healthy conditions, wish you all the best and success

You all take such terrific care of those calfs! That place is spotless! love watching your channel.
Thanks for an informative video. You have a very nice (and clean!) dairy farm 😊 👍 ❤️
Where does all your fresh water supply come from on the farm , to water all the cows and do all the washing and cleaning?
Being in the country, far from a city's water system it's more than likely from one or more deep wells.
In Sweden we use a "teatbucket". It's a bucket with a teat on it. It is as easy pouring up milk as with a usual bucket. Why don't you use those?
Youre calves' barn Is insane..It Is Better tham my bedroom..i can live in that..really congrats its Just beatiful..this Is the thing that I envy you the most
I really like your set up. I wish i had that sort of set up when i used to be a farm worker. Can i ask why do you pasteurized the milk for the calfs. Instead of giving them raw milk? Thank you for showing us your set up. Looking forward to seeing the next instalment. Regards Richard
They use the milk from cows on antibiotics, pasteurize it, then add milk from good cows. I think.
When I used to work on a dairy farm we used to feed the calfs on the milk straight from the cow's even the milk that was held back due to antibiotics. I am just really curious why they pasteurize the milk first. Regards Richard
I like the mom has kept her Dutch accent. Jan and his siblings sounds very Angelo Canadians
You and your videos are unbelievably awesome and informational love watching all your videos over and over keep up your amazing work
It sounds like you go a little farther than the usual to care for these calfs. I like that💖
Outstanding job mate, great tour, very well spoken and thorough. Amazing job on the cleanliness and well thought out structure. 👍
Jan, What a great informative video! Well done! Top notch as always. yay Go Canada!
What a phenomenal video! Thank you for sharing this interesting and I’m certain very valuable information to other farmers. You always have something on your farm to teach us.

Can't go wrong with calves that cute! Good call!

Another great video . The commitment to clean is impressive .
Clean is definitely the key to healthy cows .
