You need to get an award for your description and presentation, so well thought out and informative. Truly enjoy your channel - impressive seeing young man with such passion and knowledge.
It amazes me how much the milking has changed in the last 50 years... This operation is like walking into a space ship for me... I'm in awe with everything you show us... Thanks
Red Rooster, I know right? We had glass jars we had to dump the milk in the line. Plus all the other maintenance that this new system already does automatically. Oh and we only milked 8 at a time...not 24 lol.
Hey buddy, love all your video;s, when i was a boy aged 12ish i used to work weekends on a small farm and i would do the milking morning and afternoon here in yorkshire England, we only had about 20 cows and used the old simplex machines, i absolutely love the work, the smell of cow barns will bring tears to my eye's even today 60 years later, its a love that will never leave you, we need to fill the world with guys like you it would make a beautiful world even better.
I came across your vids and man the memories that it brings back. I helped my dad with his beef cattle until he passed away 10 yrs ago. He worked everyday and at 75 could work me under the table. the memories made and life skills learned will never be replaced. Thank you for bringing the memories back. Ill keep watching if you keep making them.
Hi Jan! You are an amazing young man. You do an excellent job with your videos! Very clear and detail explanation on everything you do. The video quality is just amazing! I truly enjoy watching. Thanks for taking the time and all the effort you put into your videos for us!
Thanks for explaining things as you go, it’s one of the things that make a great channel I think. Your parlor is amazing, your entire farm is beautiful!
I am very impressed with the quality of your videos. The way you frame the shots (the drone shots are often breathtaking) &. your explanations of what you are doing make an enjoyable experience even for someone who has spent his life on the farm (64 yrs). Keep up the great work!
That's because most would be "employers" dismiss *farmer's backgrounds* 🤷♀️even if as a summer job, farm worker lends a WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON WORK! Most employers just don't seem to see, or recognize that. To their own detriment. They're unlikely to find employees who can problem solve on the fly better than anyone who grew up on a farm.
High standards well said high standards. Wish more people has work ethnic like he does. Wish the dairy I worked at back in the days was setup like this dairy is.
High standards I have a small contracting business. If a kid says he has a farming background I hire him on the spot.95% of the time it works. Great work ethic!!
Thanks for sharing all that you do. I don't know how you have time to set cameras to get the footage you do, but thanks. It means a lot to those of us who don't do this kind of work on a daily basis.
Hi I have watched a lot of your video's and I am from New Zealand. I love your guys dairy farm setup it's awesome. None of our farms are even close to that. Keep sending in your video's I am enjoying everyone of them. Thanks for sharing
I love to see the care you give to all of your stock. I did the same, on a much, much smaller scale when i farmed, but, the idea is the same. Clean healthy cattle, and, humane treatment.
Jan. . .I've heard you reference the "Special Needs" cows on other occasions too. What type of needs. . .pregnant, injured, medical??? Thanks for the great channel. You are so impressive on your knowledge and obvious experience on every aspect of the farm. Also, I know enough about programming and filming to know you are doing a great job in planning, executing and editing each project. You do a great job!!
Great video and an exceptionally clean well run dairy farm. Two quick suggestions from an Irish dairy farmer: remove the net wrap from any straw or hay bales before putting them through the shredder, consider group penning the calves once they learn how to drink, you can use milk feeders with multiple teats, this helps to reduce the workload involved with individual penning. Otherwise this is a top class operation and I wish you well with your dairy farming.
Thanks! That’s the plan! We can pull the panels out that separate the calves after their weened. We also have a milk taxi that we use to deliver the milk which makes things very efficient!!
This is my favourite TH-cam channel of all and Jan, you’re a natural in front of the camera. Thank you for sharing your farming life with us and all the best from 🇬🇧 What is the amazing music you’ve used from 2:09 to 3:18?
My congratulations, youve got a fantastic system! Obviously well thought out and through. Many things I'd never even thought of! Very, very impressive!
You are awesome! I hope u are able to educate the next generation of farmers Whoever taught you was a good teacher There are several dairy farms where i live....50 head, not like your operation. I take my great nephew to visit. He loves cows and barn smell reminds me of my grandfarher
Hi Jan I'm Suresh from India I have watched your all videos it's very inspiring for dairy farming sector and good information you handling very hard job we are expecting more videos from you and your effort and caring is highly appreciated.
You are doing a mighty job with the vlogs. The content is very interesting and available to a wide audience. Your technical skills have progressed very quickly. Your dairy setup is superb. Real cutting edge technology. Safety, health and animal welfare are prioritised. Love the baby calves but -even as a beef farmers daughter=I find it hard that they are unable to cuddle up together and play.
Thank you very much! We do our best! The reason to keep the calves apart for the first two months is so that the calves don't have to compete for their food. There's also some bio security elements! Their all given an equal chance to drink as much milk as they want, smaller weaker calves wouldn't grow as quickly otherwise.
Fun for the calves to get new bedding and something to play with too. Well cared for cows, become calm and satisfied, it makes the milk better. You have a very good and well-managed farm.
Jan this is a great video as are all the others. Thank you for your perfection in presenting, explaining and documenting your life in your family dairy. How many of you are in the family dairy business? I wish you and all your family a happy and prosperous Thanksgiving holiday. Fijne feestdagen voor jou. (I got help with this).
I like your operation. Sure is different than ours in 1955. We had 240 head, most milked twice a day. Long days, long nights. I'm surprised you separate the calves individually and don't keep them in a common pen. Thanks for the videos. Jon Van Veldthuijsen, Dutch Sanitary Dairy, Venice CA, so many decades ago. P.S: The Hoof GP says to say hello.
Kid, your drone shots look like a winter miniature display for an minature train. Great work and you operate an well maintained top facility. I acknowlegde this every time i visit the netherlands, dutch farmers like it well layout, and keep their stuff/facilitys/equipment very clean. At the moment there is an massive uproar amongst german farmers, they blocked Berlin with 8600 tractors yesterday in a Demo. Dairy farmers get a bad price of 35 Euro Cents /0,50$ Can$/ per liter, or for our imperial challenged US friends 1,45US$/Gallon at the moment. So they suffer pretty badly at the moment.
Thanks for the compliment! I love seeing the protest in Holland! I wasn't aware that there were also protests occurring in Germany! Its good to see the farmers standing up for their rights! The farmers out there are constantly being put under more and more restrictions and regulations and its not fair!
Looked like cleaning out the netting was like cleaning out my vacuum cleaner x10 Shame netting is not able to be removed before it gets near that machine. Love watching the babies 😎
Another great video - I started promoting you a few weeks back on several big TH-cam farming channels - so keep your videos coming.....lets get you to 100k subs before spring 👍👍👍👍👍 Brians Farming Videos / Millennial Farmer / Cole The Cornstar / L&R Rusch Farms / 10th Generation Dairyman / Sonne Farms / Welker Farms Inc You an easily play with the big TH-camrs with your great angles droneshots clips and stories - very informative.....
Great video keep up the great work. I really enjoy watching your videos, It’s pretty neat to see how you guys dairy in Canada and how we dairy in California 👍🏼
I have seen other channels where the calfs would have free run of an entire side with no partitions...they play and horse around and have 24 hour access to milk. I am sure you have a good reason for partitioning them off just wondering what that is? Well done, you guys have spent some serious $$$$$$$!! Take care and keep up the hard work.
at first you need calfs alone because they can get infected real fast and with more calfs its easier to get everything sick and a machine that gives milk 24 hours a day is expensive
I love the calf’s excitement when they get new bedding, thanks for another great farm video! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season Jan 🎄🇺🇸❤️’s🇨🇦
Thank you for talking about the plastic wrap I was just wondering how it could responsibly be recycled, there’s far to much plastic waist on the planet already, I wish we would go back to natural hemp twine for bailing. Our elders didn’t pollute like modern people do without the first thought of its impact. I hope we all leave this planet better not worse than we found it, talking about it like you do is a great first step.
Hi kid its really good knowing so many thing from your youtube,if you can kindly share more details about new born calf feeding details and milk replacer price and how much we should feed per calf per day and how many days we feed the milk replacer.
I feel bad for the poor little calves... I’ve just seen a video from a dairy farm in Florida where the calves are all together “socializing” in their special space ❣️😄❣️
An excellent vlog with a thorough explanation of the operations & tasks. Well done. I would think it possible to strip the netting from the bales before loading into the shredder. Lastly, you mentioned a "Milk Taxi" for feeding the calves. That would be interesting to see in operation. 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 X 2
Great video as always, nice to see your subs growing. A few weeks ago I listed a link to your channel on many of the bigger farm channels to get you some much deserved exposure, hope it helped
Ive never been a fan of large round bales for a lot of reasons. I like the new large square balers. Bales stack way nicer. Cut a few twines and your good to go. Biggest down side the balers are extremely expensive.
Hey your dairy farm is amazing. I have a small question and im not a farmer in anyway so may be a silly question but in a previous video you showed that u pasteurise the milk for the calf's and i wondered why this is? Is it for infection control or something else?
When managed correctly, pasteurized milk is a calf feeding option. The main advantages are utilization of non-saleable milk and reduced disease transmission resulting in improved calf health and growth rates compared to calves consuming raw waste milk
You need to get an award for your description and presentation, so well thought out and informative. Truly enjoy your channel - impressive seeing young man with such passion and knowledge.
Only a person who shook out a small bail would know lol
You have one of the most up to date farms I ever seen I love how you keep it so clean
It amazes me how much the milking has changed in the last 50 years... This operation is like walking into a space ship for me... I'm in awe with everything you show us... Thanks
Red Rooster, I know right? We had glass jars we had to dump the milk in the line. Plus all the other maintenance that this new system already does automatically. Oh and we only milked 8 at a time...not 24 lol.
You have the cleanest and best looking fairy facility I have seen. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much! I too love to smell and the work and hope to be able to do this for as long as I'm able!

Thanks for mentioning safety, I hate bale net wrap and I wish people would use natural fiber twine instead.
Ahh the ol’ pull and run. Most efficient way of getting small bales off the top without climbing
Hahahaha glad someone knows!!
Sucks when the string breaks though. Makes a mess when the pile finally falls
Quick feet !!!! bahahaha
It's like playing Jenga! In reverse...
You are one hardworking, knowledgeable youngster, i admire your ethics and farm, thats one sleek operation !!
I am very impressed with the quality of your videos. The way you frame the shots (the drone shots are often breathtaking) &. your explanations of what you are doing make an enjoyable experience even for someone who has spent his life on the farm (64 yrs). Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the support and I'm glad you like the drone shots!
Definitely one of the nicer dairy calf pens I’ve seen.
It’s amazing how your farm works! So much technology in today’s farming/ranching operations! Great vid, enjoyed it very much. Thanks!
we need MORE hard working kids like this in our world.
I work at a dairy as well it's a nice double sided 30 parlor and put in 10-11 hours I love working with cows and it's great job
Why thank you!

Love the nighttime drones mixed with cows and the barns. Love your videos.
i can see a young man with passion in milk farming and also making such beautiful videos
No matter how much progress and innovation happens in farming, there's ALWAYS going to be some backbreaking labour! Nice place you've got there!
Wow...You make Incredible Video of your beautiful farm!! Thank you for taking us city folks along with your day to day!! Happy New Year!!
Thanks for sharing all that you do. I don't know how you have time to set cameras to get the footage you do, but thanks. It means a lot to those of us who don't do this kind of work on a daily basis.
These videos are really informative for us city folk who dont know very much about dairy farming. Excellent videos!! Keep them coming!!
Hi I have watched a lot of your video's and I am from New Zealand. I love your guys dairy farm setup it's awesome. None of our farms are even close to that. Keep sending in your video's I am enjoying everyone of them. Thanks for sharing
Another well done video, I enjoy watching. Retired electrician from Cape Cod
Hi , im from Germany , its very intresting to see how the farmers work in other lands . Very good videos
I enjoy your videos. You and your Family run a very clean operation. Your explanation is clear. Keep up the good work.
I love to see the care you give to all of your stock. I did the same, on a much, much smaller scale when i farmed, but, the idea is the same. Clean healthy cattle, and, humane treatment.

Perfect! Glad you liked it!
Enjoyed your video. Looks like a well engineered project with lots of forward thinking involved. Best of luck for this endeavor.
You've got an impressive operation there. You do a great job of editing, too.
This farm is damn near perfection!
Thanks!!!
Except of course, the calves that are separated from their mother and sent to slaughter at some point.

Greetings and Happy Holidays from southwestern Ontario. Wishing you a prosperous 2020.
Loved the video! Loved the music! Loved the wrap explnati9n. And loved the rack and milking info..
More video of baby cows!! 😊 really nice to have the clean air focus!!! It could be so bad with smells and VOC’s from waste. Nice job.
Looked like cleaning out the netting was like cleaning out my vacuum cleaner x10 Shame netting is not able to be removed before it gets near that machine. Love watching the babies 😎
That’s a super nice facility. It’s good to smaller dairies doing well.
That's Canada! You can milk 40 cows and still do very well!
I love your channel! You are great at giving us information! I have learned so much from you!
Another great video - I started promoting you a few weeks back on several big TH-cam farming channels - so keep your videos coming.....lets get you to 100k subs before spring 👍👍👍👍👍

Wow that is so cool to hear! Thank you so much! I'm down for 100k! ;)

Thank you!
Another great video - Thanks for all the education you do!
You have a beautiful facility! Hello from USA Wisconsin 🙂👋🏼
Thanks!!
I'm impressed at how clean your barns and equipment are and how well organized it is. But when do you sleep ? Ontario fan
very well explained and information that i can understand, nice job young man, keep it up
love your Chanel, watch it every day
There should be a lockout on the bale chopper that you can lock with your own deadbolt. Pretty standard safety stuff. Great video.
Hmm something to check out! Thanks!
Mannnnn!!! This is the best farm i have seen... How lucky to work there 😍😍
Your Cinematography is excellent.
Thank you very much!!!
Great video keep up the great work. I really enjoy watching your videos, It’s pretty neat to see how you guys dairy in Canada and how we dairy in California 👍🏼
Love seeing how it all works. Would love to see how washing and cleaning out works.
Will show it as soon as the calves leave that barn!
I toy love your milking parlor what a lovely setup you have there
Amazing operation
Happy New Year
Great video. How far north are you guys and how much sunlight are you guys getting a day? Cheers from another dairy farmer
December 21st will be our shortest day and there will only be about 8 hours of good sunlight
Very nice facility. I know it takes a good management system to make it run like this. Greetings form Paraguay South América!

He’ll get right after making a playground for the calves,,,,,,
Very impressive! You seem to have a passion for dairy framing and to me, that is very admirable. Enjoy the videos!!!!
I love the calf’s excitement when they get new bedding, thanks for another great farm video! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season Jan 🎄🇺🇸❤️’s🇨🇦

Thank you!!!
Wow great video man I sure would love to work on your farm
Amazing buildings and beautiful animals 👍 keep posting
How many hands do you have working your farming operation? Keep up the great work!!
Great video mate
Greetings from Poland! 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱
With all the open roof area have you ever though of using solar panels to supplement your electricity usage?
great video very instructive you did a really great job
I feel bad for the poor little calves... I’ve just seen a video from a dairy farm in Florida where the calves are all together “socializing” in their special space ❣️😄❣️
As fellow sask resident just wanna day great job and keep up the great work!!! What kind of video / audio you run?
Your parents must be very proud of you young man.
An excellent vlog with a thorough explanation of the operations & tasks. Well done. I would think it possible to strip the netting from the bales before loading into the shredder. Lastly, you mentioned a "Milk Taxi" for feeding the calves. That would be interesting to see in operation. 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 X 2
Yes I too would love to see the Milk Taxi at work :)
Ill show the milk taxi in operation soon!
You have a great setup lad
We use a cutting torch to clean our bale buster out works really well just burns all the twines
Sounds like a sweet deal!
The calves are adorable!
THANKS!
“HAY” 🏃 RUN 🤣
Those calves are so CUTE!!!
Great video as always, nice to see your subs growing. A few weeks ago I listed a link to your channel on many of the bigger farm channels to get you some much deserved exposure, hope it helped
Thank you so much for that!!! It definitely helped a lot!
Congratulations on 15K !
Thanks thanks! I know you were here before most! Thanks for continuing to support my channel!!
Beautiful calf bins
Nice video from Tanzania
Beautiful night videos, great job, thanks
Thank you!
That all white calf laying down has a cough! When your bedding calves!
Such a beautiful milking parlour! Makes me miss milking 😊
Ive never been a fan of large round bales for a lot of reasons. I like the new large square balers. Bales stack way nicer. Cut a few twines and your good to go. Biggest down side the balers are extremely expensive.
You have nice facilities. Great video
Thanks!!!
Do you use heating system for the cows?
