Great video Jan! The tours are amazing. I appreciate the owners giving the tour and their time for doing so - but you gave an amazing tour with great commentary on this particular dairy. I also appreciate how you only make positive comments about all the things you're experiencing. You're a class lad Jan! Well done! Great sandwich at the cheese shop too.
That is an impressive milking design. Thank you for sharing another way of milking cows. Jersey cows have had a reputation of having a high milk fat content in their milk. We realize that Holstein cows have move volume. Keep sharing on TH-cam. 😊
Fantastic reporting! Your providing a great service to educating the worldwide public on the dairy industry. Great Job! Do more of these. Like go to Holland check it out as well as the Dutch ladies.😊
Do you know of any channels that have such programming with at least subtitles in English? I'm 4th Generation Frisian (and a smidgen of Groningen) and would LOVE to see and understand more of what my fellow super-sized blond farmers do, or even the Dutch ones.
Well done Jan on the rotary parlour tour, very clean set-up, the Jersey cows looked happy and very content on the turntable, the robot spraying iodine disinfectant looked a bit like overkill, the milking space could accommodate an individual spray unit to spray the cow after milking, otherwise a very fine operation.
So Jan, from a working man's perspective, which style of milking parlor is easier on the people doing the milking? And Jan, thanks for supporting the United States by displaying our flag on your hat! I want a hat with the Ukrainian flag on it!
Those Jersey (black nose) cows have huge udders!! Jerseys are reputed to produce more fat content, however, a lot of cheese in the supermarkets here in UK is now lower fat. They have finally made it taste good too now. But I suppose any excess fat can be processed into butter. Pumping the milk straight into a tanker looks good, economies of scale.
Hello from Germany, I have seen one of those rotary milking facilities about 10-12 years ago, near Cologne. Cows loved it 🥰 They could do 40 cows and the operating parlour was inside the circle. A full circle and the milking was done. Congrats on your teaching skills, love watching your channel!
Jerseys were the cow they liked at the small dairy I used to visit here in the Santa Clara Valley. It's now been sold and moved due to the high cost of land, with no more dairy's in this area.
Another awesome piece of work from SaskDutch Kid (You're not a kid anymore though :P) Keep it up Yun... You are one of the great humans in dairy industry I've seen through TH-cam Love from Sri Lanka
I think the cows were really entertained by the rotary movement. They looked so lively and curious as they went around! I've always thought cheese was a kind of luxury item. It looked so good in that sandwich.
It's interesting on which foods are more available/affordable, and the difference in taste of the same product, depending on regional and specific location(s) - dairy/cheeses/ice cream, fruits, veggies, seafood/shellfish, species and cuts/types of meats and sausages, coffees/nuts. alcohol/beer/spirits/wine, etc - even in just Canada/NA/USA.
I wish you could have shown more of that big farm i wanted to see the cows actually getting off and on the rotary it seems like there is alot of room for error in both of those aspects say with slower moving cows and what not I always thaught they could get squished if they didn't get off fast enough or something
I know exactly where you were. Didn’t realize you were in my area. Vierra’s have a sweet set up. They also have a sweet custom silage harvesting set up too called Chopper Guys. All top of the line equipment.
I think the rotary parlor is fantastic. My husband is building or doing the milking part of a Delaval 128 milking parlor along with a lot of other workers plumbers and electricians and etc. by Twin Valley, Minnesota. I've watched all your videos from your trip so far, great reports. Did you get to see the Redwoods? 👍
It's spades on tank vs truck. You're either paying for the tank or you're paying for the trucks. If your going through as much as they are it's worth loading straight into the truck save a step. If its like you where it's a tank a day or two it's not worth the truck head ache.
Much as I really love the information and innovation shown in these videos, I really like that you balance knowledge of each cow and industry back home. It seems more personal.
i workerd for 3.5 years with DeLaval TSR. A very nice solution when it works... There are three security switchs at the cage and also when TSR has a problem you have a emergeny stop. So you have to check all switches and mostly restart the robot-computer three or four times. And this is often at 4 a.m. And nobody us the security wire, because when you start the rotary after a emergeny stop maybe you shot down the TSR. The PR3100HD is a nice rotary with high performance. We had a 60-stall, but clockwise. And some different details: Harmony plus as clusters, only one receiver and no terminals in the subways but a large screen for test milking samples.
Very cool shed, we have a 80 bale rotary for 1050 cows. Our teat sprayer is located on the plastic leg splitter, and all automated Jersey cows are amazing! Their milk fat percentages are soo good. Teat spray robot was cool, one of those cows looked like she needed her back right quarter checked.
for those that do not know, the jerseys have a higher milk fat content than the Holsteins but a lower milk volume so black and white cows give more milk per milking than the jerseys but have a lower milk fat content and that is the cream on top of fresh milk from the cow. Out of the tank and it is delicious Jerseys are about 4ft tall holsteins about 5.5 ft or more and 30 percent bigger heavier. Also in these hear parts of south ontario milk quota is 35,000 dollars per kg of milk fat thats what the farmer pays if any is available. we have the milk marketing board hear so the farmer has a guaranteed income free of stock market like bullshit fucking with the price like those pond scum do to the other areas of agriculture i do not farm my cousins and uncles do i worked on them so i know a >little
I believe milking the cow is the old fashioned way you just get to know your own cows and it's just better instead of all this machine and roboting I just think you personally know your own cows and I think that's better instead of all this other ways and milk cows plus all the big Farms are taking all the small dairies out of business and I just don't think that's right in the milk quality is just not as good as when you have a smaller Dairy
That merry go round is the coolest equipment I’ve ever seen and that robot arm is really creepy but very handy. Thanks for this, I’m into horses but cow farming is pretty interesting.
That wash of the exterior of the milking clusters seems like it must be a LOT of water usage. I wonder if the farm has some water filtration and re use of water.
Me too! Sorry, I try to get my comments in during the commercials to save time and help with Jan's bills! Still seems like a long time going around before they think about that. Those railings show the evidence. Amazing AI robot!
Wow, that's some dairy, ultra efficient. It looked new. An all Jersey herd, which is nice to see, they don't produce as many pounds per day as Holstein's, but they produce more milkfat, which is desirable for some dairy products. We have a local dairy that has all Jerseys, that sells their products locally, of course it's much smaller than that one. 🐂👍🇺🇸
@@giles-df9yu It's great milk to feed just about any kind of baby mammal that needs a little extra boost. I once had a neighbor bring me 3 tiny little wild rabbits that a dog had gotten into their nest and killed their mother, and a couple more babies, because they didn't know what to do, and someone else had told they would die without their mother, and they new that I had fooled with just about every kind of animal growing up on a farm. My late wife didn't know what to do, but she was more than willing to do anything I told her, because I was gone during the day working, and they needed near constant attention. I went to our local Jersey dairy and got a couple of quarts of raw milk, mixed a little bit of sugar, and wheat germ oil with it, and started feeding them with an eye dropper, every hour at first, and once they got started, they eat my concoction like crazy, and thrived, to everyone's dismay, except mine. As they grew I stopped the sugar, and added old fashioned Quaker Oats that I had put in the blender to make them smaller, and so they would go through a baby bottle nipple, which I had enlargened the hole in. We kept those babies until they were about 100 days old, and we took them to a nearby state park, and released them near the golf course, and according to some of the park employees, they grew up, and was always seen together, and they said that's how they knew it was them, and there you have a long winded rabbit story, that you didn't sign up for. 🐇🐰🐇
You forgot to mention one of the great aspects of a Jersey cow! Theyre calmer, friendlier and their milk actually has a higher fat content, up to 5%. This makes it great for cooking and processing! They are slightly smaller cows than the usual friesian and will give a few liters less a day, but the milk is so worth it!
Question: your farm has trays to catch the urine and solids. The rotary you are showing I notice is open on the back end, do they just have to wash the equipment and floor down when the cows relief themselves 🤔
Garland, I was hoping someone else would notice there was no 'reflector shield' on the backside. That floor looked spotless! He did mention that the cows were not feeding, just chewing cud though. Does that mean their feeding schedule is adjusted to alleviate discharge? I am also glad he noticed and commented on the smell. (I think I have been watching too many farm vlogs!) Still, amazing reporting on a fabulous dairy!
I like these tours! I can't imagine what my grandparents would of said about these innovations. I believe that the TSR should be sporting a couple of googly eyes.
The one thing I really miss here in the Philippines, where my wife and I retired, is fresh milk. So hard to come by and really expensive. as comes from Australia or New Zealand The other is powdered milk which is not milk at all but something grown in China and then added to with chemicals. Always have to avoid that stuff.
Awesome thanks for the video Jan. Jerseys, huh, the milk is still white and they are a little smaller Cow than Holstein from what I can see, thanks for the video. Aloha🤙🏼🤙🏼
Hello Jan, thanks for the video. What impresses me much more than the modern cowshed is you! You come into a strange barn and you talk for 10 minutes down to the smallest detail as if you had been at home there every day for 20 years. How do you manage that. You are a phenomenon!!! Great recognition.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Another great tour! Thank you Jan.
Love seeing these tourer’s. It’s nice to see how other people run their dairies. The technology is awesome, i really like to see more

Jan, great tour's for these last few vids & can't believe you made it so far up the central valley! Hope you enjoyed your travels. 🐄🌞🐮🚜

Gee you & other UTubers like #10th generation dairyman are so articulate. It is a real credit how you explain yourselves
Sweet tour!

Those girls seemed to like looking down and seeing you Jan 🐮 ❤️ 😂
Your videos are always awesome. Not only the content, but the quality as well.
Great operation for 3700 jerseys milking process
That's awesome my friend, and you're so articulate and engaging too!
So Awesome!!! I love that milk!!!
Awesome video! That "pre-dip" robot is a joke compared to the "post-dip" robot. It didn't seem to get all of them..
R2-Teat2. Pretty cool. Thx4 sharing such a variety of topics. Time4 your world tour! Blessings.

Thanks for a very educational video and it was really fun to watch. Thanks so much Jan.

Awesome show!!! I was wondering why they didn't have a crap tray the whole way during the milking process
Excellent video Jan! Your video skills continue to grow and I like the travel vlog stuff.
Man that set up is so kool thanks again for the video
This makes me think of fast food. This is not for me. But I do like the no milk tank cooling system.
I think the rotary parlor is fantastic. My husband is building or doing the milking part of a Delaval 128 milking parlor along with a lot of other workers plumbers and electricians and etc. by Twin Valley, Minnesota. I've watched all your videos from your trip so far, great reports. Did you get to see the Redwoods? 👍
I hear jerseys are personality plus cows😅🤣
....was busy watching that cow and her tongue up there over your head... (4:37) 😆
Legs still coveted in mud pooh.so Funny the cows on merry go round.! Hapoy cows.its very loud,
In your own milk cow barn, does each cow have a bed or do some cows have to stand all the time?
This must cost millions but I guess it's the way of the future
And this is why us small family farms can't stay in business anymore.😪 These huge commercial dairys are flooding the markets.
Wow it was totally awesome everything is automated soon don't need human hands...great but sad at the same time...thank you Jan as always!!!!! :))

Very interesting viewing the rotary system. I wish you could have shown the cows entering the system and leaving the system.
I live in Guernsey Channel Islands right by Jersey where the cows are from
GOOD MORNING
Thanks for a great video
Very cool seeing the videos of these incredible dairy farms. Thanks for showing them.
Hi I would like to work a dairy farm like that very nice
Are these cows outdoors or do they stay in . I know cows get dirty but those cows were really dirty any reason for that
Look normal to me
That was pretty cool
Much as I really love the information and innovation shown in these videos, I really like that you balance knowledge of each cow and industry back home. It seems more personal.
Hello from South Africa.
The Dairy tours and information provided have been excellent. Well done. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜

Good comment. I am all for efficiency and new technology but I am sure getting the bugs worked out and keeping it working takes some doing.
Some great looking cows! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴

Couldn’t imagine 3700 jerseys lol
I have enjoyed all of your videos. Also, seeing your country from a fare Thank you
I’m amazed milk isn’t a lot more expensive considering it cost millions of dollars to bring a glass of milk to the table
Doesn't DeLaval have rotories that have robots that do the attaching of the units as well? I have seen some of these on TH-cam.
That wash of the exterior of the milking clusters seems like it must be a LOT of water usage. I wonder if the farm has some water filtration and re use of water.
Technology is so much more than yrs ago . Now why aren’t the cows feed while on the wheel ? When I milked cows we always feed them grain
Stand there aren't you afraid of getting dumped on by the cows?
Sorry spoke to soon with my question
Me too! Sorry, I try to get my comments in during the commercials to save time and help with Jan's bills! Still seems like a long time going around before they think about that. Those railings show the evidence. Amazing AI robot!
Why are you not wearing a SaskDutchKid hat rather than what appears to be a hat with an American Flag ?
Casually 2 miles from my dairy... you probably ate some cheese from my jerseys lol

It is all good till there is a mechanical failure then the whole system is down meaning no milk no production huge money loss.
jersey cows make for good ice cream
Thats probably a clover dairy. They still sell their milk in glass jars. Its the best
They spelled modesto wrong i think its spelled methdesto
Really interesting!! Thanks, Jan.
This very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

These ladies look like they are on an amusement park ride!😄
Unskimmed jersey milk gotta love it.
Is there a way to measure the efficiency or cost effectiveness of their system compared to yours?
We have a 40 stall rotary in nova Scotia
Das a big one for out there!
Would you go rotary if you had the option to change ?
I like these tours! I can't imagine what my grandparents would of said about these innovations. I believe that the TSR should be sporting a couple of googly eyes.

Hello do you need a worker i am a farmer too🙏
That pre dip wasmt very accurate
That was interesting.
