Glad your herd is coming along with the vision you’re achieving. Love to see the calves doing so well. Use lots of milk products..cream, milk, butter, cheeses. Keep milking and we’ll keep enjoying your product. Thanks Mommas!

If the same things being done to animals to produce animal products were done to humans, they would be crimes of r ape, kidnapping, torture, neglect, and mass murder.
Hello Jan, your success with cow numbers and milk yield is impressive. It leeds to some question for me. I heard that the Canadian dairy farms have restrictions/contigents for production/delivery? How about selling bred heifers? What about breeding lower producing cows with beef bulls? Using sexed seemen with higher genetics? Thanks for some information!
Thanks for the video Jan. Always appreciate them. Great job Mirjam, taking over for Neline. When you said " got to push the feed manually...." I thought you were going to get the shovel and a broom out😂👍🍻
Jon. Thank you for the video. The barn sure gets foggy when the barn doors are opened and closed. At a --33 degrees, how many minutes outside on bear skin before frost bit hits. Maybe 3 to 5 minutes or less ? Those blood vessels in your face have to pump blood fast. Outside of the barn, an Artic parkers would be a nice jack to have on, i would be willing to bet on.👍 Please take care, stay warm. Richard
Fellow dairy farmer here in Wv, Usa it seems your operation has issues just as any other but when your calf barn is overflowing why not get rid of the bulls i know you raise them but the space for heifers is more important
The biggest issue is that you are doing things to animals that if you were to do to humans, they would be crimes of r ape, kidnapping, neglect, and murder.
@@leaderence3290, what a stupid thing to say. Animals aren’t humans and Humans aren’t animals. Get a clue and get off the channel if you can’t appreciate a farmer doing his job.
@@leaderence3290 look at jans videos and talk about "rape" again. The animals dont give a f.. who gets them pregnant, thats their most important need (reproduktion).You showed with this message that your only information source are some stupid city people that make money of telling people without any idea how others who life their whole life with animals should or shouldnt do things...
Hey jan, not sure if you know or not but there are products that you can put on your cement around the foot bath to stop it from eating through the concrete. We use it around our feeders in our hog barns. 5 year after doing it and the stuff still looks like new. Something to maybe look into anyway
Great videos Jan! I wondered about seeing the milk actually leaving the farm, how, when, where it goes etc. Watching from near Kitchener, ON. Also, man its cold there!!😮
I have an antifreeze filled 3/4 pipe hydraulic , with electric heat tape inside , inside a 2 inch steel pipe , cemented in place where door comes down on , but anything above -30 it struggles as well
amazing job....to think not so long ago all that used to be done manually...sitting on a stool and a bucket between the legs...multimillion machinery! support farmers! one question: why do you separate mothers and babies? how do they feed their babies lodging in different spaces? how do mothers still produce milk, been separated from their calf and not feeding them? thanks
All I (Florida man....) can say is that the people of Canada do not (could never....) appreciate "what it takes" to get milk to them! Loved the "En Parlour" "latte' " Can't get any fresher than that! I suspect the Cuban coffee you're (probably) chugging (in that weather....admit it...) could USE some "taming." Always enjoy your videos. Slog ON! Your world (and ours) depends on you! (collectively....not forgetting Ma, Pa, Sis and Bros. naturally) But what happens when the (liquid) fuels stop flowing into the operation?...or the power grid goes down? (for whatever reason...Wx plays a big role here) It would be a disaster to turn out all those beautiful, magnificant milk-making creatures into Sas 's "Winter Wasteland." Summertime? Different story. Plant edible/high-value nutritional crops for 'em and turn them loose. (Sorry about debt servicing at that point...) I understand that fencing large tracts would be a big issue, but if you staked a lead cow (or two...or...had good dogs, or riflemen...) the herd would probably coalesce and stay close. Production would take a "nose-dive" but if EVERYone's did, people would blink, sit up straight, and decide to pay what the products they're consuming are WORTH, civilization might some stumble-on.....
I love your videos!! Have a question. Being you live in a heavy winter area I never here you mention or see them on the farm curious if you like to snowmobile or even have one. That to me would make the winter fun!! :) Look forward to every video you post. Thanks Ed from Michigan
with the cheese plant coming soon, was there any consideration to adding few other breed cows (Jerseys or Gurnseys) to increase cheese flavor content???
Thanks for an excellent video once again thoroughly enjoy your entertainment. I just wonder when I was younger they often would talk about how dairy producers would play classical music in the barn to keep loud bangs from scaring the cows. Was that just an old wife’s tale or did it have some true practice ?
When you loose a tracking button is it just a matter of checking the app and walking over and picking it up? LOL or is it out in the lagoon by now. I am surprised you don’t get an alert from no movement.
Heat tape? Must be the same sort of stuff we use on our astronomical telescopes & eyepieces to keep them from fogging up. We call our version of it, 'dew heater straps'. We run them off the same 12V battery packs that power our telescope electronics & tracking motors.
I was wondering the same thing. We always had heifers that would kick off the milkers or kick at you. We had kicker clamps that you could put on to help prevent getting kicked. I would be interested in seeing a first time heifer attempting to be milked 😊
Our dollars value is so low right now about 71 US cents buying things made in the US is not that affordable any more. I have had my Ebay searches limited to Canada only for about two years now. Hopefully it bounces back some day.
Jan how do you like your delaval parlor anybody by you milk jerseys I milk 400 jerseys in CT USA in a 50 stall delaval rotary parlor I really enjoy your videos
Just curious, and maybe you mentioned this before, but do you do your own good trimming on the farm or does a vet or someone else come do that for you?
Why is there such a high demand for milk? Think I answered my own question. Higher population wonderful if it has anything with the thrift of large quantities of butter lately. I’m sure if they are stealing it they are selling it cheaper on the black market. I’m assuming.
Have you guys ever thought about raising your own bull it seems like you raise good genetics and use good genetics on your cows when you AI have you ever thought about maybe just using or raising your own bull or raising good enough bulls where you can sell the semen yourself
I have butter, ice cream, sour cream, cheese, yogurt and milk in my fridges and freezers right now making sure that never happens here. If you prefer nut juice over dairy that is fine by me though.
Glad your herd is coming along with the vision you’re achieving. Love to see the calves doing so well. Use lots of milk products..cream, milk, butter, cheeses. Keep milking and we’ll keep enjoying your product. Thanks Mommas!

BRAVO!!!!! ENCORE!!!!!!!!!
i think this is a well done review . two thumbs up for this video
A pet cow named shilong 😅
Your housekeeping throughout your operation is impressive its apparent you've had good instruction along the way!
What a great video! Hi Mirjam! It still amazes me how much your family can accomplish in a day caring for so many animals!
Love watching your videos. Never dull. ❤❤❤❤❤
amazing video. Thank you guys
YOUR COWS ARE VERY SMART. THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO.
TOTALLY AMAZING ! !

As a fellow dairyman I luv the look of your cows udders before milking. Your cows can definitely produce a lot of milk.
Thanks again...another good video!!
Thanks for the video Jan. Always appreciate them.
Great job Mirjam, taking over for Neline.
When you said " got to push the feed manually...." I thought you were going to get the shovel and a broom out😂👍🍻
a true family farm…thx, Rob
Lovely to see thankyou for sharing x
Good job guys
Love your videos bud keep them coming rob GB🇬🇧🚜👍

love the care!!
Try "Snirt Stopper" for bottom sealer on your overhead doors..
Thanks my friend for new video. Great job...👍🎄
Great video brother from the imperial county ca 🚜🚜🇺🇲🇺🇲
I like Mirjam’s overalls, I don’t recognize the brand down here in Texas, but they look really comfy. If she’s using them, they must be tough/ good.
Looks like 4 D, the company is located in west Texas !
I maynot drink milk but I do eat yogurt, cheese AND ice cream. Cheers.

A few days doubled up in the pen doesnt affect the heifers at any point..

Love the videos to man! me and my year old and 2 year old look forward to watching your videos everytime there is a new one!
5*
6:30 PM in central Ontario and it is zero degredes celsius. Unfortunately we got 4 feet of snow last weekend and more today.
Thank you
I am watching your videos to cool off, we are 39 degrees in Pretoria South Africa 🥵
Great videos Jan! I wondered about seeing the milk actually leaving the farm, how, when, where it goes etc. Watching from near Kitchener, ON. Also, man its cold there!!😮

How is the commercial washer and dryer doing. Are they holding up longer than standard residential washer and dryer.
amazing job....to think not so long ago all that used to be done manually...sitting on a stool and a bucket between the legs...multimillion machinery!
support farmers!
one question: why do you separate mothers and babies?
how do they feed their babies lodging in different spaces?
how do mothers still produce milk, been separated from their calf and not feeding them?
thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤
You sure are a hard worker. So much to do on a farm.
How about instead of working hard abusing and exploiting animals, you work hard doing something respectable?
Mirjam has the same adorable chuckle as Neline

That's quite a ' Florida Man ' thought you have put down there. Stay awesome!!! 😎😅😂
Great Video!
It would siphon out! If that hose was installed in a 'U' configuration it wouldn't have siphoned. Neat! :)
Jan is just unconscious in pumping up new videos every day
❤ from Norway
Good to have a full house though isn't it? Some good looking calves.
I love your videos!! Have a question. Being you live in a heavy winter area I never here you mention or see them on the farm curious if you like to snowmobile or even have one. That to me would make the winter fun!! :) Look forward to every video you post. Thanks Ed from Michigan
I remember that February, absolutely brutal.
When a cow's bag hangs down really low is it just because it is empty or is she getting old? Or something else?
Most of the time when they get old but hapoens not to all of them
Genetics mostly, same as in humans.🤣🤣
with the cheese plant coming soon, was there any consideration to adding few other breed cows (Jerseys or Gurnseys) to increase cheese flavor content???
Why don't you wait until they have it up and running and they explain what they are doing
Great video
it was +6C in Edmonton yesterday and today its -17c .. warmed up to -11c @ 1138am
Crazy! Similar change here! 😧
Thanks for an excellent video once again thoroughly enjoy your entertainment. I just wonder when I was younger they often would talk about how dairy producers would play classical music in the barn to keep loud bangs from scaring the cows. Was that just an old wife’s tale or did it have some true practice ?
you need a stand on bobcat to push up feed .
❤❤❤❤❤
I really like when I see you and Mirjam working together. Do you forsee a long future with the 2 of you always working on the farm together?
I really like it when dairy farmers go out of business.
@@leaderence3290please take your negativity somewhere else.
Well they are building her a cheese factory and he's acting as the farm foreman and is the obvious successor!
If your looking for a good garage door bottom look for kevlar stripping
Jon, did you find out when your new doors and panels will be in for the calf barn?
How do you train the first milking for the heifers who have had their first calf?
That's amazing... So 383 is the total you have on the farm including what you have outside in the lots?? sorry I can't remember what they are called
3:18 Miriam when are you going to start a Channel
Had to report that leader guy for hateful posts. Hope that helps Jan. Idiots walk among us😂
So did I.
When you loose a tracking button is it just a matter of checking the app and walking over and picking it up? LOL or is it out in the lagoon by now. I am surprised you don’t get an alert from no movement.
Interesting that when the cows come in to be milked they know to take the last open position.
Heat tape? Must be the same sort of stuff we use on our astronomical telescopes & eyepieces to keep them from fogging up. We call our version of it, 'dew heater straps'. We run them off the same 12V battery packs that power our telescope electronics & tracking motors.
How hard is it to get new heifers into a milking routine? Like going into the head stalls.
I was wondering the same thing. We always had heifers that would kick off the milkers or kick at you. We had kicker clamps that you could put on to help prevent getting kicked. I would be interested in seeing a first time heifer attempting to be milked 😊
You need snirt stoppers for your garage doors like the Larsons use on Larson Farms utube channel
Nice video! How long does it take you te milk those 380 cows? Or is that 380 cows inclusive the dry cows?
Hey Jan what do you do when A cow doesn’t take the very last milking stall and block other cows to com in ? Does that happen often?
Look in to snirt stopper door seals Brian Brown and Millennial farmer are using them they are a Minnesota Co.
Our dollars value is so low right now about 71 US cents buying things made in the US is not that affordable any more. I have had my Ebay searches limited to Canada only for about two years now. Hopefully it bounces back some day.
Jan how do you like your delaval parlor anybody by you milk jerseys I milk 400 jerseys in CT USA in a 50 stall delaval rotary parlor I really enjoy your videos
Doesn't take long in a 50 stall DeLaval rotary to milk 400 jerseys. Depending on the speed, could have it done in an hour.
can pre dip and prep?
Just curious, and maybe you mentioned this before, but do you do your own good trimming on the farm or does a vet or someone else come do that for you?
That should be good, not good
❤️🙏🏼☕️⛄️
Do you plan on having your own farm in the future!
Call snertstopper for your doors
😅
What !
No christmas song today !😪
👍👍❤🐄
You guys breed a lot of cows on your farm. Have you ever got a wonky calf? Like a genetic whoopsie?
-33 degrees celsius =
-27.4 degrees fahrenheit
Howthe doot dryer work out?
🇨🇦👍
What's the update on the cheese making building?
Seems like you’re always putting straw in barns. How often do you have to put straw in and then clean them out?
How often is the same cow the first one in the parlor?
I was wondering if it’s the same cows that always go left and the others always goe right?
Do you see an increase in calves when a storm is coming in or a full moon?
Me gusta mas en ingles
Do you think your milking parlour is too small now? That’s 32 rows going through it
How is the cheese factory coming along
Why is there such a high demand for milk? Think I answered my own question. Higher population wonderful if it has anything with the thrift of large quantities of butter lately. I’m sure if they are stealing it they are selling it cheaper on the black market. I’m assuming.
Cheese building on “winter” hold?
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
I noticed in the one clip when you removed the milking unit you don't do a post dip that is pretty important isn't it ??
You noticed wrong
@daveklein2826 no I didn't the cow that was walking out as the milker came off at the same time no post dip rewatch it
I feel sorry for the animals out in that weather
They are just fine....they can tolerate very cold temps
it stayed below 20 f for 3 days one time. terrible
You still 100 here I don't know what's wrong with you people just shift the Queensland baby never say yes never say it's now again 💖😍
-27 f
Your AI program is working high conception rates.good milik cow low at first always .
2nd
Why don't you clean the cows legs. So dirty icky..
Pushing feed with a bobcat, is not doing it "manually" bud.
Kind of a whiner aint'cha
Yes you are a whiner
Have you guys ever thought about raising your own bull it seems like you raise good genetics and use good genetics on your cows when you AI have you ever thought about maybe just using or raising your own bull or raising good enough bulls where you can sell the semen yourself
AI is more efficient
He’s raising a bull which always spend time with his young ladies
Ladies are slow as they appear to be window shopping for the holidays...... 🤔
