Awesome. We've been crossbreeding some with Norwegian red, but I think I'll be going back to Holstein. Those crosses are nice, but just not as dairy as I like. Thanks for watching
Cows look good.I like that calf to. I did a double take when you flipped on the lights to see if there were any new calves "nope just two cats screwin". Lol
I was just freezing my ass off watching your video Matt, it looks like you had a white out condition, probably not a good day for a DQ blizzard 🥶 it's freezing here too in Minnesota, stay warm 🚜🚜🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄
O them old heat housers still have one hanging up in the shed! Glad you got all that snow then me, I'm 4 hours straight north of you and we only got 3 inches!
You guys must have pulled all the water lines and cups outta the tie stall barn when you built the free stall right? Or do you drain the lines out somehow to keep them from freezing?
Snow is tons of fun isn't it Matt🤣🤣 I got bye without the blower, I think you got more snow then I did. Ive been adding kerosene to the 895, 5 gal to the 20 gal tank, the 966 was acting up so that got 4 gal added to the tank and it was fine. No spare clothes? Now done tell me you never get so full of 💩 you won't sit in your truck. Hell I was so bad the last time I wouldn't get in the skid steer. Its always a challenge to get just what needs to be done let alone anything else when it gets this cold. Cheers🍺
It's been a treat that's for sure lol. I've never been too covered in 💩, I have put some feed bags down on the truck seat before I sat down a time or two 😅. I think I'll have to bring a spare pair of pants after this though. Thank you sir 🍻🍻
Winter showed up everywhere.. Gotta feel for the folks in the south, most are never prepared for it. Bad enough for those who know how to deal with it. Finally above freezing here. Right back to the rain for the next week anyway 🙄 Keep them fed, keep the calves warm!!! Stay safe and warm Matt!!🥃🥃
Yeah, sounds like everyone got a good dose of mother nature, I heard there was a lot of ice out your way. I think we've got rain for next week too 🤷♂️🤦♂️thanks Ed 🍻 🍻🍻
Hi there . I have watched your channel and I watch Tayfarms , Fast Ag Montana , Acres of clay , Trinity Dairy and Farmer Phil , and it look's like We all have a cold winter going on . Farmer Phil is from Ireland so He is not so cold and snowy like the rest of us , but cold season anyway. I hope this winter is short but here in Finland it last's 5-6 months and it is nearly like Siberia . I hope You and your Cows stay warm and healthy .
Hei, Janne. My grandparents farmed up around Rovaniemi many years ago. They told stories of digging tunnels from the house to the dairy barn to get the milking done during the winter. I remember as a toddler see very deep snow when we were taken out for sleigh rides near Lehtimäki. Didn't notice the cold very much, but the winter days were dark very early in the afternoon. Good to hear from another Finn. 😊
@@joeahopelto8032 Hello. I live near Lehtimäki , maybe 50 miles away . I have visit in Rovaniemi and it is truely winter wonderland . Ahopelto is common/general last name in here . Can You speak or do You understand Finnish language ?
Cows are spotless & look like they're really juicing , the signs of an excellent dairyman !
Thanks
I’m a dairy man’s daughter and love Holstein cows. So clean and friendly

Wow, that's a white calf! We have the below zero temps and a dusting of snow.🍻🍻🍻🍻
Hope she doesn't get loose and into the snow, I'll never find her 😳🤣🤣. Stay warm 🍻🍻🍻

Thanks. I think the cats think it's spring time or something 🤔 🤣🤣

Sure made a mess of things. It sounds like today is the last cold day here, but then we've got snow,rain ,and ice coming this week. Thank you sir
Great video
Thanks!
O them old heat housers still have one hanging up in the shed! Glad you got all that snow then me, I'm 4 hours straight north of you and we only got 3 inches!
I'd be glad to send some up your way 🤣🤣.
@@hartungdairyfarm0713 I'm sure you would!
You guys must have pulled all the water lines and cups outta the tie stall barn when you built the free stall right? Or do you drain the lines out somehow to keep them from freezing?
Yeah, I pulled all the water lines out of the barn. It is nice not having to worry about walking into a flooded barn in the morning anymore 👍🤣🤣
@@hartungdairyfarm0713 yeah I believe it😂
beautiful calf and perfect name your a dedicated man working in those conditions stay safe and God bless
Thanks, you too!
It's been a heck of a week. Two more days and then back into the thirties. Get your shorts ready!
Yep, we're getting close to done with the cold, I hope we're done with snowstorms too 🤞
Man what a mess I sure don't miss that part of farming I feel for you all try and stay warm.
Yeah, sometimes it gets pretty special out there. Thanks
Make me think why am I looking for a 60 to 80 cow dairy farm in Wisconsin lol
Oh it's all part of the fun 🤣. Good luck 👍👍🍻🍻🍻
I think the cold is better than milking cows when the heat index is 105 degrees
Would a magnetic block heater stuck to the skid loader fuel tank help?
That's a good idea, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks
love the calf and the video. i really miss dairying , but not in this kind of weather
Yeah, this weather gets old, but it's all part of the fun lol
Keep warm and stay safe on the roads beautiful calf thanks for the video
Thanks for watching

@@hartungdairyfarm0713 had 1/2 of ice on everything... Dug out the old caulk boots for a couple of days 👍
Snow is a pain in the butt but the moisture building up is great! Unless it gets too warm too fast and it all runs away 🤦
I guess on the bright side, the ground isn't frozen much under the snow, so it should soak in

Wow, 5 to 6 months of winter is way too long for me. Stay warm yourself. Thanks

Kyllä minä puhun suomea mutta ei voi käyttää tala Amerikassa. Minun iso isä ja äiti nimi oli Eino ja Impi Leivo.
Don't think I've ever seen a calf thar white before!
I think she'd make a nice show calf for the kids, but my wife said she doesn't want to be the one to try and keep that one spotless 🤷♂️🤣🤣
The calf is the color of the out side
Yep, snow white she is lol
@hartungdairyfarm0713 I didn't finish the video but her name suits her
Freezing my ass off. Is what I'm doing
🥶🤣🤣
A lot of work. Hang in there.
Always do. Thanks 😊
Where are you located in Wisconsin? I’m in Sheboygan county near Cleveland
I'm in lafayette County, I'm only about 12 miles north of the Illinois border
You put feed outside is that for dry cows and milk cows look great.How many do you milk
Yep, all the milk cows are fed inside and dry cows and heifers are fed outside with the feeder wagon. I milk 80. Thanks
That's why we make the big bucks buddy👍🏻🍺🍺🍺😂😂
Definitely 🙄🤣🤣🍻🍻🍻
What tractor do you have on the blue mixer
