Hollcana Farm
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2023
Hollcana Farm is a family operated, 50 cow dairy herd in Ontario, Canada. This farm was started in 1960 by John Sr. and his wife Johanna who immigrated from Holland in 1954. It is now operated by their son Ron, his wife Debra and their son John Jr. with his wife Melynda. Their other son Jasper also works part time on the farm.
The farm has all registered Holstein cows that are raised on the farm and are milked in a tie stall, hip roof, bank barn. We try to grow most of our feed for the cows and also sell some crops.

A lot of technology on that load. Glad it is all unloaded without issues.
@@bonniehibma3580 The way the Grand River Robotics Lely team handled everything made us feel a lot more confident. It was a bit scary but everything was done without rushing and was something they do all the time. Good experience!
Been 40 years since I have worked with cows. Still dream about it once in a while and they’re always Holsteins because I always felt they were the only breed worth milking.
@@geraldsieber7266 Holsteins are awesome!
I’ve been watching your videos to much. I had a dream last night that I called a cattle dealer and told him I needed 70 first calf heifers in various stages of lactations. No idea whose barn I put them in but it had 70 tie stalls. No robots either. I guess I wanted 10 more cows than you and milk them the traditional way. Woke up walking through the barn looking at my new herd. Must have been my birthday present to myself. 😂
@@geraldsieber7266 That's funny! I lay awake thinking over the big move. Planning it all out. I should just sleep, it would be more beneficial. Lely people take care of the plan.
Another big day.. just of many more.. Hope all turns out well.
The big day getting closer !!!!!
Absolutely love your videos And the progress you are making on this project One thing I appreciate is when the closed caption is available so I can read your comments. I usually watch in a noisy environment (At work ) Thank you so much for including us in your daily lives 😊
@@steveratajczak8345 I will keep that in mind for future. I keep learning new things with this project all the time. Thank you for watching!
looks like a very stressful job.
Beautiful palace for the Ladies🎉
the big flurry of activity right near the end...always the best part of construction. it will be so nice to see cows in there.......SOON!
How much does a fork tractor driver make? That would really make me nervous hauling all that expensive stuff. He did a great job moving the bulk tank.
@@Ironvalleylarry well, on the farm you feel like you work for nothing, you get your bills paid and get to live on a farm and appreciate a job well done.😊 My son loves tractors, cows and farming. He was a bit nervous. The Lely guys were very careful and good at giving directions.
Nice thankyou
What a beautiful new dairy facility. I'm not even a dairy farmer, and I'm envious!! Can't wait to see it up and in use.
@@judetaylor7544 Thank you! We can't wait either! We are so happy with how it is turning out!
Videos to short, might get more people if you run around 20 or 25 minutes, just a suggestion. Have a good evening.
@@butchellsworth-s8i I think that is a good amount of time too but my kids say less than 15min is best🥴 this video was the 3rd of three videos of that big day. I'll try to do better. Thanks
Wow, so white!! And the tank is in. Looks so good!
What is the white plastic looking pieces they are putting on ceilings and walls around the office area?
@@alanstultz6956 it's called trusscore and it is instead of drywall or painted plywood. Supposed to be real easy to clean and durable.
Thanks for explaining your manure pumping system
Are you going to show us how everything works when it's all done, and ready to go
I hope to! That's my plan. Thanks for watching and showing an interest in what we are doing!😊
Thank you for the video. It was very informative
Superbe vidéo, maintenant on peut commencer à imaginer vos vaches dans ce Superbe bâtiment 😂bonne journée
@@danielaubert9909 merci beaucoup!
Pele looks so uncomfortable 😂
@@JustDuckyV He went in all on his own. Just being careful I guess?
I can’t wait for the barn to be finished, but it will be sad when the update videos are done
@@davidfahl9106 I know what you mean! Once in a lifetime experience for us. I've loved the process but also can't wait for it to be done.
I like watching every day new stuff
@@rickrick7309 Me too! It's so interesting to see all the pieces come together!
Great Video Today!!, so many things going on at same time. Your doing good job trying to capture it all and it truly is amazing how many parts there are to a 21st century dairy barn. The quality of the materials they are using is top notch. Each new video is more exciting as the project gets closer to completion. As Always Thank You for sharing all of this with us ......
It's gonna like christmas, now i mean a closer step to a very nice dairy cow barn
You are getting closer 😊
Comment
hope you get to milk robotically before the big shift in reality
Your son has a steady foot on the tractor. Is that a 1000 to 1200 gallon tank? I was surprised the loader lifted it up as easy as it did.
@@bonniehibma3580 It is a 1500 gal tank. He couldn't tip the loader up at all. He says he won't be able to do that if we get a bigger tank. He had a nerve racking day moving all this expensive stuff with guys he doesn't normally work with. 🥴
Getting closer
Looks great how long did it take to move the milk tank and put the Temporary tank in
@@larryryan6173 It took them 2-3 hours to move the tanks in but then they had to finish hooking up so we could use the temporary tank for milking that night. They came at about 9:30 am and left by 4:30pm.
Nice job!
It can be deadly to eat the cob
@@stanleyjrayotte5366 I've never heard of that. The cows eat the whole cob. Is it just deadly for dogs? He only ate one kernel at a time and then left it in the field.😊
@@HollcanaFarm seem like it mine just ate one too last night without knowing about the danger . Corn cob can cause blockage.
@@stanleyjrayotte5366 I'll keep that in mind. They don't try to eat them unless we are checking the corn.
Comment
Things are happening fast these days...... Your gonna need another barn before you know it ... 😁 Thanks for sharing with all of us....... oh and BTW at least you have it on video should You ever have to change the Manure pump how they got it in the building......
@@allendavidson6608 Yes, that was a bit sketchy. They wanted to do it another way and after we thought they were right until we watched the video. Still worked better our way, we think. I think we will be really glad to have the videos down the road, for sure!
how many cows do you milk?
@@jackdennison2970 We milk 50 cows now.
I love hearing it when we visit!! 😊
corndog
Does your son work full time on the farm?
@@davidfahl9106 Yes he does and then some😊
Is that cow corn?
@@wilmahoogendam6320 Yes it is
Wow!! I love the beautiful sound!! 🥰
We do too! So happy with it!
Corn looks really good. How many day good do you plant? Good you have some corn silage yet in the silo. I suppose you could always green chop some of the drier corn if you run out.
It's 89 day corn. I think we will have enough corn to feed till we can harvest. Getting a frost could change things too later.
10th generation dairy farm just put up 3 new silos and they installed yellow jacket unloaders.
Yes, we follow him too. We put ours in last fall.
Had to pause at one point....nope, cricket isn’t in my house
Who else was counting
@@wilmahoogendam6320 I was and Ron always does😊
I really like the looks of the seamless material on the ceiling.
@@joebishop7909 me too! I am super excited about it! Should be real easy to spray down. Thanks for watching!
You going to have a bathroom in the barn?
Awesome Video Today!, Won't be too much longer now!!!!..... Incredible how many pieces there are in one cow barn..... Thanks As Always for bringing us along on Your journeys.... I just Love how your Two Inspectors (4-legged) check each crew and task for you 😁
@@allendavidson6608 Thank you! Yes, they check everything out. Nothing's getting by them!
jus luvin it!
Looking great
Looks good
@@brucecopeman9107 Thanks! I hope you will enjoy it when you pick up the milk. Hopefully soon!
