You asked in this video if there was something we would like to see. I would like to see your feed storage, your feeding process. And then in another video go through the parlor again. Thanks keep up the good work. Excellent content, and your feeling in with music from time to time perfect selection. Beware of the haters out there. They will say stuff that might get you dandruff. But as for me in my house we will serve the Lord.
*I found your channel through Jan's referral and have enjoyed your videos and the passion that you have for farming. The farm deserves big-time credit for their forward thinking philosophy regarding being a responsible business by using solar energy and recycling manure in a sustainable fashion.* *If you vlog, we will watch! Thanks for sharing!*
Hello from New Zealand! I am a dairy farmer over here, we milk 1050 cows through an 80 bale rotary shed, Wish you all the best for your channel, cant wait to see more of your farming operation!
Awesome videos for just starting thanks saskdutchkid for the beginning of another you tube family of farming and in due time no rush give a run down on history of the farm👍
So amazing to see how you utilize waste to be reused! Those beds look so soft! I'm sure they are quite comfortable! Great camera angles of the scraper tractor working! You're doing great with your videos! I want to see more of the calving side as well as the dairy side. With 5k I'm sure you guys have lots of babies! 🥰
Thank you for sharing, very informative. I'm really enjoying your Channel. Everything gets used. Love it. You guys are making a difference in the world.keep up the great work
Great video!! Came over on Jan’s recommendation also. I had a small dairy (100 milking) back the Seventies and eighties. I remember that one of our neighbor dairies had a manure separator like your old one. I also remember that he indicated that they would mix it with other feed and feed it to the some of the younger stock as a filler. I only say this because I seen in your video some of the heifers were over there nibbling on the pile in the pen. Anyway great job keep them coming!
Great job explaining how you make bedding from the dry manure! Really a great process and smart idea, can’t get over just how large of a dairy you work at! Thanks for the video! Keep up the great work! 🥛 🐄 👋
I do some of your dozing for netto lol I have only spoken to Gustavo love to meet ya next time we are out there ! You guys have one hell of an operation
New subscriber after watching Jan’s (hope I spelled it right) video of you giving him a tour. What a massive operation you have. Love your videos so far. Gonna go back and watch the earlier videos. Thanks
Thanks, Brallan for the info. What is the difference between Dried Manure Solids and Compost? Future video: what happens to day-old bull and heifer calves?
Congratulations on your new channel make sure you put on( Channel description) there how many cows you guys take care of for the main headlines. It's impressive 5,000??
A lot of big dairies are using rotary parlors. You are using to parlors. When it comes time to update what type of parlor will you implement? You have a very interesting operation. Look forward to following you.
Great video. You explained the process very well. It's amazing how that manure can be recycled for bedding. Your manure separation system would rival slot of towns sewer treatment facilities. Thanks again for sharing
Congratulations on your new channel and good luck! Enjoyed Jan's tour and thought he was did a great job highlighting the operation and followed his recommendation to check this channel. I'm from SoCA and had wondered where all the dairy farms had gone. When we moved here 35 years ago we had a big dairy farm just 5 miles away in the middle of suburbia and when the wind was blowing the right way we could smell it! It has since sold and become a housing and industrial tract. At least where you are it looks like there is no chance of that encroachment! (Q? what does it smell like on VF?} Ballan, you have a great positive personality and a bit of humor that makes you a very good host, but may I respectfully recommend you slow your speech rate down for what seems to be the majority 'elderly' viewing interest. It will make it more enjoyable and easier for international viewers, also. Your content is very interesting and it is apparent you are knowledgeable and passionate about dairy farming, but pace yourself and focus on smaller details and facts. You have a promising future and it is evident you are all helping to improve and sustain the industry, land, and climate. 👍
Enjoying the videos keep them coming. I especially liked the breeding video found it interesting a good insight into the day to day operations on the farm. I'd love to see a milkiing video some time, and a TMR video.
Hi also found your channel via Jan would like to know what your role is on the dairy I know you're a manager but what do you manage Just subscrided Keep ip the great videos
@@scottinniger5128 yeah its pretty amazing what were able to do with our cows manure!! We can generate energy, create bedding, and fertilizer which goes towards there feed and the cycle begins again
you mentioned a part two to this video. Have you done it? My students are doing a unit on dairy cattle and farms and learned about the recycling of manure for bedding and we found your video in search of learning more about the process. Anymore videos about that process or how you use manure for fertilizing etc.?
Yes both are of those tractors are “muddier tractors” so they have bigger front wheels for clearance we use them for other jobs which require it but the surprisingly since the wheels are also thin they have pretty good turning radius
I am puzzled that such a big organization and you still milk cows the old fashion way with big herd like yours I would of used robot's to milk less work they go them self, you should look in to it
I'm sure they've looked into it, but 100 robots is a lot of money, specially trained employees and massive maintenance bills. We have 1 farm with robots too, but unless they are willing to invest 10 million in 2 gea robotic parlours, robots are not made for farms this size.

Excellent video man!! 💪🏻 looking forward to the next one. Maybe a more detailed video explaining all the ingredients in your tmr?
I actually had recorded everything for a feeding video but I lost the footage 🤦♂️
@@vanderhamfarms8148 thats rough

I’m just some dude from Detroit that enjoys dairy farm operations. Weird, I know. But this is becoming one of my favorites!! Well done!
That's an impressive operation you have thanks for posting the video
Overall stats about the farm…like employees, equipment needed. Also where the farm started and how it got to be so big. Thanks for the videos
Can you make a video about how you get your feed like silage, hay silage, or whatever else you feed?
Super impressive operation. Thanks for starting this channel!
Great video. Maybe more of in the milking parlor in the future 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome videos for just starting thanks saskdutchkid for the beginning of another you tube family of farming and in due time no rush give a run down on history of the farm👍
You had it right the first time. It’s a cattle guard.
Amazing drone shots! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Simply Incredible how far Dairying has come since I left farming, just amazing!
I would like to see some maybe feed mixing and or maybe your heifer setup
Coming soon💪
That's for the video please keep up the good work

Subscribed. Thanks for taking the time to share your daily farm chores.
Thank you for taking the time to share how you run your farm. Well done. Very informative.
Great setup
Thank you for sharing, very informative. I'm really enjoying your Channel. Everything gets used. Love it. You guys are making a difference in the world.keep up the great work
Great video Ballan. This is vastly different to the grass feed pasture system that i retired from 5 years ago. Looking forward to the next video.
Wow very interesting! Thanks for the video!
Thanks….really enjoying the channel.
Jan’s referral sent me here! Really informative videos I’ve watch all three and hope to watch many more. Keep up the good work!

We don’t feed it to our cows they are very curious when something new shows up in their pen though lol

I do some of your dozing for netto lol I have only spoken to Gustavo love to meet ya next time we are out there ! You guys have one hell of an operation
That pretty cool to hear didn’t think we had local viewers!!
New subscriber after watching Jan’s (hope I spelled it right) video of you giving him a tour. What a massive operation you have. Love your videos so far. Gonna go back and watch the earlier videos. Thanks
Great video. Thanks Ballan. You must have a rotating crew. I assume you milk twice per day.
Yes we have two shifts
Thanks, Brallan for the info. What is the difference between Dried Manure Solids and Compost? Future video: what happens to day-old bull and heifer calves?
Congratulations on your new channel make sure you put on( Channel description) there how many cows you guys take care of for the main headlines. It's impressive 5,000??
Most incredible. It makes perfect sense to use the processed manure. Good video!
Ya'lls farm is big! Love the technology you are using to keep a process of that size running. Thanks for the video!
Jan sent me. Good luck
A lot of big dairies are using rotary parlors. You are using to parlors. When it comes time to update what type of parlor will you implement? You have a very interesting operation. Look forward to following you.
How about Hoof Management for a future video?
I completely forgot about that in jans video I’ll try making one on hoof management next week 💪
Great video. You explained the process very well. It's amazing how that manure can be recycled for bedding. Your manure separation system would rival slot of towns sewer treatment facilities. Thanks again for sharing

Hi also found your channel via Jan
would like to know what your role is on the dairy I know you're a manager but what do you manage
Just subscrided Keep ip the great videos
Thank you for taking us along..🚜👨🌾🌠🌠...what is the fresh cow/calf operation..??👨🌾🤔🤔👍
How many full-time & part-time staff are employed at the farm? Would like to see video on how you address hoof care. Thanks!
Never heard them called Texas gate. Always Cattle Guard. Previously had cows in California, now Texas. Either way, nice video
As big of a operation that you are looks like your doing a great job, we're does all your Milk go
California Dairies Inc is our local co-op we send all our milk there
@@vanderhamfarms8148 I like the idea of using the manure to bed the cows
@@scottinniger5128 yeah its pretty amazing what were able to do with our cows manure!! We can generate energy, create bedding, and fertilizer which goes towards there feed and the cycle begins again

The part two that I was talking about was a tour that we did at our dairy

hello shal i ask you how many hours takes you to milk all the cows;;
Plz share detail video of your feeding time table (from India 🇮🇳)
Hey guys
where are all the baby cows?
Do you use any of your manure for fertilizer for your crops? Enjoyed the detailed video. 😁👍
Yes we use the liquid that’s separated from the solids and also the manure we remove from our open pens!
What is your cell count with this type of bedding.
Why does the spreading and rotor till tractors have such big front wheels? That reduces the steering angle a lot 🤔
Yes both are of those tractors are “muddier tractors” so they have bigger front wheels for clearance we use them for other jobs which require it but the surprisingly since the wheels are also thin they have pretty good turning radius
Are you located in the San Joaquin Valley,do you produce the feed for your cows or purchase it?
Yes we are located in San Joaquin Valley we buy and produce our feeds
Interesting👍🏻 where are you located?
I watch yean to
How long does it take to milk ALL the cows?
It takes us about 11 hours then we was the entire system and start again
@@vanderhamfarms8148 wow! I would have never thought it was that long. Thanks for the reply
@@sheilasantiago3715 some of our pens are milked 3 times a day while the rest are milked twice
@@vanderhamfarms8148 that's some serious production! Cool
sir may i know the capacity of your digestor
And what happends with all the beding if it rains?
It’s covered so it remains for the most part dry
Surely the dry manure will be full of bad bacteria ?
Almost all of the bad bacteria is killed while the manure goes through the composting stage.
I am puzzled that such a big organization and you still milk cows the old fashion way with big herd like yours I would of used robot's to milk less work they go them self, you should look in to it
I'm sure they've looked into it, but 100 robots is a lot of money, specially trained employees and massive maintenance bills.
We have 1 farm with robots too, but unless they are willing to invest 10 million in 2 gea robotic parlours, robots are not made for farms this size.
