Just want to thank you from America for all the hard work you farmers do in all of North America and Canada. You truly work your butts off and if it wasn’t for you folks we wouldn’t have the food we eat.
There is a Majour difference in Canada with Milk production , They are only allowed to make a certain Quota of Milk so as not to flood the market with Over Production . Where as in The U.S. it is unregulated which causes enormous problems . giving Trump stupid reasons to blame other countries like Canada for that very same problem !
Awww this was so excellent, thanks,and Jan you did really good on camera timing,,these cows are our favorite,,all seem to have a heart on forehead...also your concrete is perfect....
Glad to know that I am not the only one with very specific routine habits in my day , even the cows have there enjoyable routines. Greatly appreciate you bring us along on your workday 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
Hi from Vila do Conde, Portugal! We run a farm with almost 500 milk cows! It's amazing to see the differences between our management and yours! Keep up the good work, ty so much for sharing!
😁👍. Always great content . You talk as if you are talking to a individual person . This makes it easy and enjoyable to watch your videos . Thanks Jan .
That funny. The cow that likes to get brushed and the one that wants petting. Personalities and learning. Can't wait to see the new section start coming together. It is a big expansion program. Rain or shine, always nice to see you so cheery. JAN! - For goodness sake - clean tha scraper. It looks really gross/
I love watching your videos!!! It is amazing how far the milking industry has come, I milked cows by hand until I graduated high school, that was a whole lifetime ago. I love getting to see all the farm machinery and how you milk the cows and take care of the calves. And yes, I am living vicariously through you, you really do an excellent job with your videos. ♥️🐄
I'm a garage door installer/repair guy... The back hanger is just loose from the truss above the sheeting. As long as the track isn't bent, you can just re-hang it back up to the roof truss through the ceiling in a few minutes. Use long lag bolts to hit something solid....
Love your videos. My mom's side of the family is from Newfoundland. Wish the videos were a little longer. I watch before bed time here in the middle east.
Hi guy, out of curiosity I found this video and I liked the topic. Well, I am a frustrated livestock lover. I worked as a teenager in a dairy in my town. But I dedicated myself to Psychology and worked 40 years at the University, which incidentally has a College of Agriculture.👍
In the Veregin area, north of Yorkton, we filled our rain gauge a couple of time so we got somewhere around 2 inches, and I'm grateful for it, but yeah, could've used it a couple mo the ago lol
We got 3" of rain in Red Deer, Alberta in the last 24 hrs, and weather forecast shows the rain moving to Saskatoon area... hopefully we saved some for your area farm(s).
I know our customs are different here in Ohio but when we can't see out of the cab because the wiper blade is shot, we normally just go to Auto Zone and get a new wiper blade And as far as your dad hitting the door frame..... as my dad responded when I was on his case about poking the Landoll spikes through the steel siding , " Look, when you were a kid, I hit the brakes more than once to keep you from becoming part of the duals on the tractor when you wandered too close, so you owe me !"
They probably have one at the farm. Problem is this is the first rain we have got since the beginning of June. If not Jan will make a Timmy’s run for sure.
@@asquithmainlines699 Either that or make his sister stand on the hood and wipe off the rain as it hits the window. Don't forget... I'm from Ohio, but we aren't that far from West Virginia so it makes sense
@J Hemphill Nah... but here, every Saturday, Pa, myself, and my two brothers Hoss and Little Joe ride on in to town to get " supplies". Sometimes, the " boys" from the roundup crew head on in with us so they can play cards at the saloon. We just need to be careful though because there is ALWAYS some gunfighter in town that is looking to put a few extra notches on his " shootin iron". Luckily for us, the Clampett gang took one look at my Glock 20 with a 15 rd mag and my HK sp5 and decided to head back to the range . Now, where do I plug this damned Tesla horse in at the corral?
@@mienafriggstad3360 We are different here. We have a longer trip here. Normally, we send a kid into town when he's in 8th grade and set up his wedding by the time he gets back.
never thought of a telehandler ? i know most jobs done by bobcat and there different types so they don't have to be the normal size. Seen smaller ones doing that job and scraping.
Hey Jan, great video as always. Interesting to see the feed charts and details. Do you have or use a tracking app for your calves growth and development, or can you recommend one?
Hi Jan. You take so much care of your cows feed making sure they only have the best, so what do you put into your TMR for lunch, and which is your main meal of the day, lunch or dinner? I know most farmers have a wicked breakfast. You have a really nice set up at the farm, and the ariel shots of it make it look pretty spectacular.
Jan- why do you not let the feeder mix while you put in the silages in at the end or would while it's mixing with water going in over chop (assuming the feeder has knives fitted on those mixers?) The ration does look quite short on long fibre, even with straw added?? What dry matter is it with out water, then after you've added water, any idea??
Forgetting to open the valve just gives the safety mechanism a chance to show you that it is doing its job. Love your videos as they are so informative and you have a way with making them also fun. Thanks Jan, see you on the next one.
Mybe. But those are no doubt expensive, and another machine to maintain. And only a small part of their herd gets straw bedding -- the majority of them, the milking cows have sand bedding. For them, they did buy that sand tiller to fluff up their beds every day.
hey, saw a video where one family milked a cow for 19 years straight without getting it pregnant. Is it possible for the cows to lactate for that long? great video quality, keep it up
Salt is required -- food, not a supplement. They never stop going for salt. They do lick it more when it's first made available, but that decreases when they see it's always available and their body gets up to the appropriate level of salt. also, when you replace the salt block with a fresh, new one, many cows will come up to lick it. Curiosity, I guess -- to see if it tastes the same?
No, with that many cows in the barn, it stays well above freezing temp. Note that all through the winter, they still have 1 or 2 of the ventilation blowers going at times. The outside corrals are more risky, but they usually eat up the feed in a few hours, before it can freeze much.
Its all about batch sizes. A Bigger mix would not make it faster if the current one fits engough feed to feed each of the group in one load. They have probably built there systeam around having the amount of cattle in a group corosnding to the amount of those sized animals feed in one load of the mixer.

Great video!!
There is always something to do on a farm!
There is never enough time to do it all!!!!!!
😁👍. Always great content . You talk as if you are talking to a individual person . This makes it easy and enjoyable to watch your videos . Thanks Jan .
Just realized we haven’t seen the barn cats in a while. Love that you take us along with you around the farm!
Hard working people God bless you all.
Show us your feed wagon magnet again!!! Super interesting seeing what gets pulled out of the TMR while you mix.
Yes 👍 I’d love a look at it also, it would be interesting 🧐
I bet if you had hit that door track you would have heard about it! That's the way it goes here on our farm. Got to love those tame cows!

You bet I enjoyed that, good video. I like cow #25, she's friendly.
Great Video, I'm impressed with the Old Case tractor in this Video, thanks for sharing
Another good one thanks again for all ya do much appreciated

Great input from a valuable viewer that could save the track or for repurposing in the future and saving the environment..Win-Win situation
Work work work and work somore that's why farmer's live a long life.🤙🏼🤙🏼
At least the boss man hit the door rail makes it easier to let it slide lol
I love watching the feed mix and all that. This is a good video
Another interesting video! Thanks.
dumping the feed on the cows heads... cracks me up!!
Just some of them -- notice that other cows pull their heads back as the feed wagon comes by -- those are the more fastidious or less greedy ones.
@@timothymbonham4453 lol, I throw hay for my horses, they wear half of for the day!!😅😂
Jan cool vid Bud 🤙🤙👍👍
Nice job on the video.
Love your videos. My mom's side of the family is from Newfoundland. Wish the videos were a little longer. I watch before bed time here in the middle east.
Fascinating!!
Another great video, loved riding on the tractor!!

Always great to see what u and the family are up to keep at it ur doing a great job cows looks good
Have a look at mc Hale straw blowers it would save a lot of hardship pushing those bales around and you would also save hitting the door rail
you should get some fenders for the bobcat so the manure is not going everywhere and would probably stay a lot cleaner
Good idea, however the rough and tumble world that a skid-steer lives in they would never last.
I would fret much about that door track....that can very easily be fixed with no lasting problem.
Dad breaks something and it no big deal. Kids break something and you won’t hear the end of it. LoL
Great video as always but please wash the bobcat and put small fenders on it .
Looks like the bobcat could REALLY USE A WASHING!!
Great family entertainment. Do you and your sister ever get on each other's nerves. Lol.🙃
Hi Jan. Cow #25 followed you around in a video before I believe. I think she is telling you something😂😂!! Looking great as always

We have learned lots of new things from your videos, hope you will continue with knowledge videos, wishes from india 🇮🇳
Make a Dutch video would be fun I think
Bye from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Too much milk? As in can’t store that much? Would you get another tank? Keep up the great content
never thought of a telehandler ? i know most jobs done by bobcat and there different types so they don't have to be the normal size. Seen smaller ones doing that job and scraping.
So, dad gets off light again!
It's good to be the boss...
We love # 25 Cow too...xxxx
Can you please clean the bobcat and also put the thing that's hanging in the back back on, please
Face masks during bedding placement..The dust will build up in your lungs 20-40 yrs from now
Thanks Work safe. Farm country looks so nice. A TON of WORK goes into that farm your family does a very nice job thank you. Hello to all.
How many hours per day do you work ?
Any days off ?
How do you balance work and recreation as a young person ?
If you love what your doing it’s not even work your just doing what you enjoy every day. Win win
Great awesome video
Hey Jan, great video as always. Interesting to see the feed charts and details. Do you have or use a tracking app for your calves growth and development, or can you recommend one?
Do your cows ever get to go out on green grass in the pastures?
Do you use molasses in your TMR or just Water?
How is grain going in ur region? In Poland we have 1/3 of last yr...
Hi Jan.
You take so much care of your cows feed making sure they only have the best, so what do you put into your TMR for lunch, and which is your main meal of the day, lunch or dinner? I know most farmers have a wicked breakfast.
You have a really nice set up at the farm, and the ariel shots of it make it look pretty spectacular.
Do you have a limit on the amount of milk you can produce?
Jan- why do you not let the feeder mix while you put in the silages in at the end or would while it's mixing with water going in over chop (assuming the feeder has knives fitted on those mixers?) The ration does look quite short on long fibre, even with straw added?? What dry matter is it with out water, then after you've added water, any idea??
Forgetting to open the valve just gives the safety mechanism a chance to show you that it is doing its job. Love your videos as they are so informative and you have a way with making them also fun. Thanks Jan, see you on the next one.
Do you milk the flies too? :)
Bale chopper maybe in your future? Save using the bobcat and manually spreading it?
Mybe. But those are no doubt expensive, and another machine to maintain.
And only a small part of their herd gets straw bedding -- the majority of them, the milking cows have sand bedding. For them, they did buy that sand tiller to fluff up their beds every day.
@@timothymbonham4453 true!
hey, saw a video where one family milked a cow for 19 years straight without getting it pregnant. Is it possible for the cows to lactate for that long?
great video quality, keep it up
post moar pwease i want to see moar of chu and ur sissy tew , i love u guys sm 💕💕😘
Like you said the rain is too late now but it seems like the northern plains needs a lot to replace the subsoil moisture. Thanks for the video. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeehaw
Oof, memories 13:56
Nice job backing up the TMR wagon!
How do you keep the water pipe going in to the mixer from freezing in the winter? Is there a drain on the inside?
You get some amazing camera shots. Your explanations are easy to understand and follow. I 💕 your channel.
The Shit Stear is looking good as always! lol
Another great video Jan
I’m surprised they don’t get their heads out of the way when you are feeding them
Please give the Bobcat a bath , it’s dirtier than the outside corals! Your farm is so clean except for your Bobcat !
I would like to see the video, if you do decide to do it!
Stay safe, stay sane, be well
Has become a sculpture 😂
Shitcat, Bob left.
just give it some fenders and it will stay much cleaner
Why, next scraping covered in shit again.
Jan, do you change your TMR for each cattle group often for best results or does it stay the same??
Do the cows still lick their salt block a lot or they got tired of it?
Salt is required -- food, not a supplement. They never stop going for salt.
They do lick it more when it's first made available, but that decreases when they see it's always available and their body gets up to the appropriate level of salt. also, when you replace the salt block with a fresh, new one, many cows will come up to lick it. Curiosity, I guess -- to see if it tastes the same?
How many milking cycles (calving and milk production) do you get on average with your cows?
Why is the case magnum not on the feed wagon?
We're is the robot that pushed up the feed for dairy cows
Why don't you guys have a defacer for silage like the 10thgen farmer
So it's Sunday and your milking. When do you get time off and what do you do with your time off?
Wicked vids m8
Lovely clean farm, next step get yourself a Lely scraper and a McHale strawchopper for bedding up ☺️
I thought you had some kind of bale spread.
Love from pakistan big fan bro
I have learn't more things by your content 🤗🤗
Wouldn't that water freeze the ration in the feed trough in the winter?
Not really, the silage does contain 60-70% water and wont freeze too
No, with that many cows in the barn, it stays well above freezing temp. Note that all through the winter, they still have 1 or 2 of the ventilation blowers going at times. The outside corrals are more risky, but they usually eat up the feed in a few hours, before it can freeze much.
Would it help to have a bigger mixer wagon?
Its all about batch sizes. A Bigger mix would not make it faster if the current one fits engough feed to feed each of the group in one load. They have probably built there systeam around having the amount of cattle in a group corosnding to the amount of those sized animals feed in one load of the mixer.
very nice and good video Jan. Thank you very much
What do you do with the feed you clean up every morning
Compost
So the question of the day is, "If Jan had been driving the bobcat and hit the garage door rails would he have gotten his ass chewed?"
I also wanted to ask why you feed the milking cows last
You need to have another race (milking) so your sister can win again LOL
How many people work in daily bases for that size farm? also nice vids...
Excellent video! I'd definitely be asking to be put on the afternoon shift for the milking of I was an employee of yours.
Does your sister ever have the manure detail?
Which cow is the best producer and how much?
When you said you add straw to your feed are you sure you didn’t mean hay? Didn’t think straw had any nutritional value!
That's why they feed it to the dry cows.
@@EFCasual on our farm we wouldn’t think of feeding our cows straw….dry or not. Just saying
Fibre to offset the silage. Rumen health is a priority.
Dry cows only need to maintain condition
@@angus9941 Hay is the best source of nutritional fiber. I know straw is used to stretch hay supplies in many instances, I just asked if he was mistaken in his comment. That’s all. I didn’t expect a lecture from all the experts out there.
