    Great job Jan! As I watched this video I kept thinking it was a Dairy Farm documentary from National Geographic. The featured farm owners and their farm property was amazing and this Canadian likes them and approves. I was in Wisconsin for a short time in the late 1980s and all I can remember of them was their friendliness, pride and work ethic (and that because of the state's role in dairy they were known collectively as 'Cheese Heads'.

    Thanks for sharing Jan , and thank Jeff for letting uses see how you do things on your farm . Hope maybe Jeff and his wife would start their own video’s. That is almost like the biggest milking dairy farm here in Indiana they milk 900 head or more . Never got to go see them do any of their milking all machine operated .

    Great post, Jan! Jeff, the DeLaval guy, did a good job of explaining their new parlor and milk handling systems. Patty seemed downright 'giddy' right at first, to have the famous Jan Kielstra at the farm. 😄Their system for housing the youngest calves seems a bit inelegant compared to your calf barn, but I'm aware it's a common method for calf care.

    Interesting tour. Having lived in the city for 82 years, I did not see any difference (except double 16 vs double 12) in this milking operation from the Kielstra Farm. The cows still have to be herded into the milking parlor and the milkers connected individually by hand. However, I always enjoy seeing how others operate their farms.

    Jan, this is such a great video showing new technology. I’ve milked thousands of cows in milking parlors, but never learned to put 4 teat cups on at once. The milking crew is adept at that. The cows are in great condition and act content. Such a great calf program. Your drone shots are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

    Jan it might have been at the point in the process of milking but I noticed that their milking area is not as clean as you guys keep your milking area. I am sure it is clean as it needs to be for healthy safe milk production. Enjoyed seeing other milking operations. Cheers from Regina.

  • @christinekeleher3578

    I have to say your parlour looks to be cleaner. I’m sure they clean as well but it was just 1st impression. It’s very interesting seeing how different farms operate. I wasn’t aware until later in the video how big this farm was.

    Jan, I like the way you take care of your calves at your farm a LOT better. Love that they’re inside not exposed to the elements. That said, hope the extensions on the calf barns gets done quickly !! As you said, winter’s getting ready to settle in. Any word as to when they’ll be completed ?

    I had the fortune to visit dairy farms in wisconsin from the uk, back almost 30 yrs ago. Most of the herds were 60-80 v high yielding cows, superb genetics, lived in tied stalls, ate, slept, crapped and milked at the same spot, in small barns, mainly because of the severe cold temps in the winter, especially near green bay etc, cows teats, ears would get frost bite if it was v cold. We saw a few herds in cubicles, blowing warm air into the sheds in winter. Was an excellent trip.

  • @asquithmainlines699

    One thing I have always wondered about the direct load. The milk goes in the tank at 34 F, and sits depending how long it takes to fill a trailer which I believe is insulated but not cooled. Then depending how far it is shipped to the plants, how much average temperature gain is there as apposed to going in the truck at 34 F and shipping right away? Not saying there is anything wrong with this method but it is just something I have always wondered. Great tour, excellent operation. Thanks to everyone that made it happen. Isn’t Wisconsin know for it’s cheese?

  • @randysmith7292
    @randysmith7292 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    interesting in that i am sure they would be mind blown by your calf barns and you would also have to be envious or their mini free stalls.. their arrangement for girls that are due looks incredibly labor intensive but as you said.. it also shows their commitment to ensuring the new mothers are attended to during and after the entire birthing process.. gotta admire that.. might have a straw customer there Jan lol.. that can be the only explanation for how rigid they are in terms of use of free stalls.. lack of available straw.....NOT lack of caring.. clearly

    Jan, this was a good farm but I have to say that I can see they miss the dutch roots. You should do a farm tour at Piet van Bedaf in North Dakota. They milk I believe 650 holstein cattle. Its a very clean farm and I believe they milk two double milktrucks a day. You probably know them already. His sister makes Gouda cheese and ice cream in a creamery nearby. Would also be nice for Miriam to visit them.
