    Thanks Jan! Never a dull moment at the dairy! If you're ever felling lonely, just remember at least a couple of cows appreciate a head scratch!👍

      Do you know that you don't actually need to own a farmland to be able to earn money from Agricultural Investment. Have you heard of Argo investment company, you can invest into their own farmland and they do all the dirty work and you earn profit from that.

    First time I ever watched your video and I really enjoyed it what a beautiful place you have I bet you're proud of it you should be! I watched two other dairy Farmers and you're a lot alike and a lot different really enjoy watching the cows being milked and how you take care of them you have a very clean place and your cows are also very clean I have a question though can I ask how old you are? If you don't mind you seem very knowledgeable for your age by the way that's a compliment! God bless you and your family for everything you do....

    Hey Jan, great video! I have changed those ADF liners before cuz I work at Norwell Dairy, a dairy supplier. I found that if u soak the liners in hot water before u pull them through, the rubber seals around that little plastic spray nozzle better. Proly nit worth doing that for 1 inflation tho 😆

    Question: Why are cows "dried off" ? What purpose is that for? Thanks.

    • @ipfreely10001
      @ipfreely10001 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Cows need a dry period, usually 60ish days, as that last 2 mths the calf is growing fast, so their milk production drops off dramatically (in 99% of cows that is, there's always an odd one!!) It allows the cow chance to let the calf develop and the cow to put a little weight on ready for the nxt lactation. Also, by treating the udder, each quarter with a long acting antibiotic and/or a teat sealant, it allows the udder to rest, heal, be ready for the nxt lactation, producing to start with quality colostrum for her calf and then good quality milk and milk to her potential, hopefully, management allowing!
      I was a dairy manager in the UK 32 yrs, any more questions, ask away plz!!!

    I’m of the thinking that there’s always a solution to any problem. Having said that, I definitely think there’s a solution to this ice coming through your fan openings. I can think of several right off the top of my head! However, since I know next to nothing about the dairy industry’s barn set ups, I wouldn’t know for sure about all the intricacies that would have to be taken into account for a workable solution. It may be just a simple solution for a simple problem!!

    @mykalmcb 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Jan, If they would put a 90% elbow on top of those vents it would solve your problem with ice chunks dripping down in. If you put a screen on it will become just another thing to have to keep clean the elbow will just redirect air flow.

    Hello. I would love for you to show us the difference in udders. I see that some are outrageously enormous, while others are smaller. Is this because of the age of the cow, OR length of time they have been milkers? It would be great if you could show us close ups of your most huge udders and tell us about those cows, how much they produce, how old they are etc.
