Hey I’m Andrew The Once A Day Farmer, I farm alongside my father on my family dairy farm in New Zealand.
Our Dairy system is quite unique as we only milk our 320 jersey cows Once A Day (hence the name), and they stay outside on grass for 365 days of the year!!

How lucky you are to live and work where you do. It's summer here and we're under a heat advisory with temps over 100 fahrenheit. Love your country.
Seeing the cows in that new paddock,wow,it never gets old!!thanks for your videos!
Can you pipe those ditches, if you can find some soil to fill the ditch in.
Andy can u give a chance to work with you dear
Hi Andrew great video. I agree with you tidying up around deer shed would look mint. Hard to believe it will not be long till season starts all over again. Oh just a suggestion maybe you might want to better explain about the cow crush as you talk about crushing the cow just in case someone that's not in the know freaks out
Haha yeah some people could take that the wrong way for sure!
I know only a month a way really, there’s always some early ones 😅
Hi I like your video
It’s definitely nice to have some sun at this time of year
Loving the change in routine and weather. Fixing all the fences that have been hammered in recent floods.
Skipping the big fielddays this year, might go to the Manawatu one next year.
Fair enough, wee way to come from the Manawatu 👍
Arh yes deer, i think it was the mid nineties that Deer farming sort became the new 'thing' , had a little popularity rage for a wee while, same with ostrich farming, remember mum and dad going to the feildays and trying the meat, in the end we converted the farm to dairy, in the days when beef was terrible.
Or was it the 80s? haha I remember adds on tv when I was very young about ostrich farming!
Is that really your winter? I think I'll move to NZ 😅
😂
hey man is graze lands like this expensive in nz?
Very expensive
Nice winter weather Andrew 👌Summer has finally arrived here in Éire 🌞
Beauty!! Get the bbq out 👌
Hi .There you go .You say you don't have a head bail go to the field days and purchase one .
Haha yeah why not 😉
Probably going out Thursday to mystery creek
You explain what your doing and for those of us that aren't farmers you help us to understand. I love the black face on your Jerseys.
i never go to fieldays cause i never buy anything
Hear in the states we used them to pull corn down from a corn crib
We call it a drag fork
That’d make sense 👌
👀🙄🐾👍Great video Andy
When did you stop having Deer on the farm ???
Looks like a great winter day.😊
Probably around 30 years ago when dad brought that block 👍
Love it when the captions say "applause" but it's the tractor 😂🚜
😂👍
When I watch your videos I can imagine and remember the beautiful winter weather in NZ ..one of the only things that make me homesick for NZ. Thank you :)
It’s beautiful weather at the moment 👌
We put collars on our cow's last week. We don't have a good headlock. We just put them up the race and reached over top rail. Worked fine
Sounds like it worked for you alright so might just do it like that 👍
Great video Andrew. I hope to see you at fieldays!
👍
It's good to see puppy out with you
Among the budget headbails for cattle the Leask Engineering (waikato) cam-action headbail is a fairly good basic headbail. The headbail could do with a gate in front of them for the frisky calves, when doing zinc boluses etc.
I’ll have to have a look cheers 👍
Having used a Leask cam headbail for 2 and a half decades, I started to remember the downsides, the cam lever arm when in the down 'animal hold' position, impedes staff movement around the front of the animal etc. For efficiency and staff effort input, one might look at the walk through type headbails as a first option now. There are many headbails on the market 1) Stronghold (HD Headbail) (Warkworth and Tirau) 2) Farmquip (Hawkes Bay) 3) Technipharm (NZ) 4) Te Pari (South Island) 5) Premium Stockyards (Rolleston) 6) The Wrangler (Whakatane) 7) Kiwi Cattleyards (The Boss headbail) (Levin) 8) Arrowquip (Australia-Global) etc
Is there still a rodent problem where you guys are ?
I need to do an update on that! But they are well under control now which is really good 👍
Yeah the English
Love the videos bro
Glad you like them!
Why do you not put a tile or conduit where your water ways are between your paddocks Andrew?
Because there’s so much flow drains work better I think
