As a Texan, I really admire how y'all prepare and are ready for all of that kind of cold. I guess if you ain't prepared, you're pretty much screwed I guess eh?. You guys would laugh your butts off if you came to Texas and see the rare ice event...trucks and cars in the ditch and everyone freaking out. God bless Jan! keep up the good work
Don't knock yourself so much. You should see how everybody drives up here, when the first snow falls 🤬 🤬🤬😫😫😫. It takes a while for the muscle memory to kick in, and don't apply the brakes too hard. 🤣🤣 🇨🇦 Peace
We are the same in the UK. A little bit of snow and ice and we completely grind to a halt. Once I was in Egypt when it rained, most of the staff of the hotel had never seen rain before. A bit of rain and there was complete chaos.
Really, really, enjoyed this vid! It’s always nice to get everything you wanted done for the winter 🥶 BEFORE the cold weather hits. Your sister is adorable and so cute!
Another great video Jan, thanks. It almost makes me feel "cosy" when the weather is cr@p outside....but its nice and warm inside with the ol' ladies!! Many memories there of cold winter days, and warm byres. Cheers buddy, here's to winter! 🍻🥂
I agree. I grew up in southern SK and what was recorded wasn't much of a blizzard. A blizzard would have been not being able to see the buildings across the yard. Enjoying your content.
Jan, I’m happy for you that you’re all done with draining the lagoon and filling the sand room. You seem pretty satisfied with your day’s work before the blizzard. Just one request: please keep the cold weather up in Canada. It’s 71F in Indianapolis right now and hope for no snow before Thanksgiving. We will leave for 5 months in Florida after the holiday. I’m wondering what if anything you’ll have lined up for videos now. Stay warm!
@@bettypompie4303 we were extremely fortunate my little sister lives near where we stay and they had some wind and rain with Ian but not even enough to blow any of their trees or roofing.
Always enjoy your videos and seeing Neline still participating, maybe even to just provide some wit and humor. Please Keep up the great work!! Here in Central Alberta we've received ~30 cm (12") of snow in the last week, and the daily temperature between -14 C (7 F) and -30 C (-22 F), with wind chills in the -40++ ranges The early start to this winter will help exterminate or totally irradicate some critters and pestilences that plague the rest of this world.
This video has some pretty cool camera shots Jan. We are supposed to get our first taste of a little snow here in Erie Pa on Sunday. Feel free to keep the snow up there ass long as you would like. Great video. Thanks. Keep warm.
Question for you. You pointed out a cow that has produced 100k liters of milk. This is prompting my question. I watch a couple of dairy farm videos in the use. They measure production in pounds, not gallons. They are paid on the pounds of milk produced, along with adjustments of pounds of milk fat and protein. Do you normally sell your milk in kilograms, mass, or liters , volume? Just curious.
So cold so quickly. I think muck spreading now not allowed until spring now. Rain washes it off but I presume in Sask it's frozen and the snow will pile on top. Does the spring thaw happen as quickly as the winter freeze? How much does it cost to heat your house?
I love how you take care of your animals seems like you guys really do appreciate them and what they do for you I like that about your your family Dairy keep up with the amazing job you do on the videos
Jan its 11 11 22 here in Limestone Tn and 74 degres please keep all that cold and snow up there with you lol we milked for 25 plus years i know what is like to have to be out in the cold yes we never see what you all get stay warm
ABSOLUTELY we will be waiting for your next video. Only Yan can make a great video out of hauling manure!! Good upbeat commentary, great video work and editing and some fun interaction with your fine sister. All adds up to a wonderful video.
Our first top loader was a gutted 7 inch auger that we welded hose hook up fittings on. It worked great, sure beat hooking up a hose at the back of the tankers.
Getting up at 12:00 and still filming. That takes dedication. I don't think I would do the same thing for my channel. Great job great video thanks for sharing and for All the work you do for us.
Hey Jan it's Shane here from Queensland Australia. Love the videos. We milk about 700 cows twice a day. On a 40 a side Herinbone I see it got to minus 20 there the other day it's about 30 degrees
-10C is 14F so it shouldn't be freezing yet, the only bonus of Celsuis lol. If you dropped the end feeding the rig over the edge of the pool you could run the pump and it would loop the manure right back into the pool. The flowing movement would ensure no freezing, no need to dismantle anything. Just a thought.
Thanks Jan for sharing progress updates on the first snows at the dairy. One question, while the cows are being milked, do they not receive food or conditional reinforcement? If so, what motivates them to enter the parlor to be milked? Have a nice day.👍🤟
Because their udders and teats just HURT if they aren't milked on schedule. That's all the incentive needed. Ask your mother what it felt like if the baby didn't nurse on schedule.
Hey Jan, I worked construction for the better part of 40 years. Everything is difficult in the cold!:( Somehow management could never figure out why productivity was lower in the cold. Must be that college degree!:) Keep up the great work.
I know a mechanic that put air conditioning in his shop for his workers and productivity went way up in the summer not working in that blasted heat and humidity. He figured it out. 👍
@3:15 the panhard bar of the back axle is broken. Better get that fixed because in the event of a loaded tight turn it could break the axle linkages or suspension cylinders.
I’m curious about your weather. What is a real blizzard? How cold / wind was this blizzard? When is it cold? When I was outside working, it was -30 C and lower. Usually got acclimated -20-30C. Noticeable colder -20 to -30. Nasty-30-44C Once had to use blow torch to get equipment running.
Just a thought to try saw on tv show highway thru hell- try sugar beet juice on the ice….. for the tractor try out a jcb , once was told by a farmer / truck driver your in the tractor 12+ hours in your office buy what you know you will like…
A tractor was darn close to the wall and like you said it results in hitting some of the light bulbs. Got to be a drag cleaning that up so the cows don't get it in with their bedding. You are right, not a practical place where the light bulbs are.
Thanks for the early warning on the snow storm. I'm south of North Bay, ON, I think your storm will probably hit Thunder Bay and carry on east up on the top of Ontario. I might see some of it, but I doubt it. Isn't it nice to be all ready for winter?
Yes, they don't have a sand separator on their farm. That's why the custom crew that they hire has to bring a lagoon crawler to agitate the lagoon when they empty it every summer. (It can be seen in what is currently the 13th latest video on the channel, titled: Lagoon agitation) Edit: Now the 14th latest video
He normally uses GoPro Hero Black cameras. However, he's recently started using a DLSR camera as well. (Not sure which one) His drone footage is from a DJI Grey Mavic 2 Pro.
What about all the solids on the far side of the lagoon? It looks pretty thick bruh,,, Btw hows your sis doing 😍 haven't seen her videos lately lol gorgeous ahaah
So why can't you just run the pump back into the holding tank so its running and won't freeze up? I know it costs fuel but it won't be frozen...just a thought. Keep up the great videos!!

Excellent that you have Neline helping you milk. Plus she has candy 🍬
I think Jan is helping Neline.
@@peggyt1243 You're right, Neline is a power woman (have you seen A dairy on the prairie?)
Jan, really enjoy your channel I’ve been checking in on you and your fam for a couple of years now, always puts a smile on my face. Thanks 😊
Great video Jan. thank you and Neline for all you do for feeding us. thanks

Not winter yet Dutch kid! Love watching you work and think your way through a situation! Did I miss the repair on the bail hauler?

Moving the lights higher on the wall in the shop sounds like a good winter project.

Jan, I watch them all. Great job all around. Mike, from Colorado..
Hi Jan, I love Neline’s and your TH-cam channels! Much love from the hills of Tennessee
I love how you take care of your animals seems like you guys really do appreciate them and what they do for you I like that about your your family Dairy keep up with the amazing job you do on the videos
I hate the cold so much stay warm out there great to see your sister in the video

Well I’m glad your already for a long cold Canadian winter. Hello from Ontario.
A uge shout out to you guys great operation and happy cows always nice to see
BRRRRRRRR! LOOKS FRIGGIN COLD! Agree get a better tractor! move the neon lights up on the wall.

Swiss Farmer here: "The law" would shut us down right quick if we'd spread manure in sub zero temps!
Hi Swiss farmer from Co galway Ireland. I have a sister in Zurich. I agree with you Re the slurry runoff on the ice.
Same in Poland
Hey buddy Is that right aye
Ya it was a cold one today
Why? It’s not going anywhere when it’s in the field.
Good luck through the cold weather
Great to be ready for the winter months well done sir Jan
Hey Jan it's Shane here from Queensland Australia. Love the videos. We milk about 700 cows twice a day. On a 40 a side Herinbone I see it got to minus 20 there the other day it's about 30 degrees
Good video. Liked the part, and music, while picking up the sand
Nice video Jan it's Nice to see Neline in your video both of your sisters are Nice your Parents are Nice as well I enjoy watching your videos Jan.

Better check your freezer or your calculations as water freezes at 32 F or 0 C
Thanks for sharing, Jan.
Your dairy is so neat and clean.
And well run organization.
Great video again, Light snow here in North central North Dakota along the Canadian line.
Always interesting & enjoyabe; with excellent filming, narration, & presentation. Thank you for sharing your work day 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜🚜

Im in Thief River Falls, MN. We are getting the blizzard now. Great Video!!!

@3:15 the panhard bar of the back axle is broken. Better get that fixed because in the event of a loaded tight turn it could break the axle linkages or suspension cylinders.
It’s fun watching you in the cold and snow while here in southwest Ontario it’s still sunny and 17 c right now.
Nice to see some whiskers, seems like a beard would be warmer... always had one working nights outside Colorado winters.
I live in northern Michigan and we got 5 inches of snow
On October 25th! Now today it's 74°F tomorrow it's supposed to be a high of 34°F with snow

Wrap an electric heat tape around the pump housing overnight to keep it from freezing up.
Did you notice where they are on the lagoon?
That'd be a heck of a long extension cord from the barn!
Today is the last day in Manitoba for spreading on cropland. Good video as usual. Stay safe.
I watched your farm very good and you very show what to do. Amazing. I love to listen and do one or two cattle to keep, Give me a idea and advice
Is there aa lot of ammonia in the slurry that lowers the freezing point of the liquid?
Excellent video Jan!
A tractor was darn close to the wall and like you said it results in hitting some of the light bulbs. Got to be a drag cleaning that up so the cows don't get it in with their bedding. You are right, not a practical place where the light bulbs are.
Great video as always.!!!!
Always enjoy your videos
How many hours do cows sleep? And how many hours are the lights out in the barn each day?
I just love your videos
Hi, which brand overall are you wearing?
Thanks for the early warning on the snow storm. I'm south of North Bay, ON, I think your storm will probably hit Thunder Bay and carry on east up on the top of Ontario. I might see some of it, but I doubt it.
Isn't it nice to be all ready for winter?
Jan does the sand from the freestalls all end up in the lagoon?
Yes, they don't have a sand separator on their farm. That's why the custom crew that they hire has to bring a lagoon crawler to agitate the lagoon when they empty it every summer. (It can be seen in what is currently the 13th latest video on the channel, titled: Lagoon agitation)
Edit: Now the 14th latest video
1:45 you should offer some boat launch services at the dam haha. You sure know how to back that 💩up!
Jan, how many liters goes in that tank?🤔
It holds 9,500 gallons, or around 36,000 liters.
Another great video you have got some amazing cows look forward to seeing your next video say hello to your sister for me😀
you could just wheel the auger over to the pit and leave it cycling - likely help to agitate the bottom solids too.
Hey Jan can I ask you what camera (and microphone?) do you use for filming? Thanks!
He normally uses GoPro Hero Black cameras. However, he's recently started using a DLSR camera as well. (Not sure which one) His drone footage is from a DJI Grey Mavic 2 Pro.
@@MellowYe77ow Thanks!
@@fraborgia You're welcome!
Great videos!
👍👌❤🇨🇦, another Sask boy, me too
Five second rule on that Aero bar. After all it was still in the package.
You need a really big dump trailer that can be pulled behind the loader.
love that your flying your flag
It's crazyyyyyyyy here in the imperial co California it's 90 degrees today. Stay warm.
Black gold on the fields!
You have a beautiful sister, (no worries I am old & far away) but you can let her know she is a special lady!
Do you put a quad in the loader bucket to make a quick return trip to grab the dump truck?
Holy shit time to get the snowmobiles out 😂 just got my brand-new 2023 switchback XC 850 and I’m so excited to be able to ride for the first time
What will you use when you run out of sand?
Most of their property is sandy soil. They'll probably never run out of it in their lifetime.
That’s right haha
Be good to see vid on the new feed mill loading of the feed wagon.
Look at a Versatile Jan, best bang for the buck. Great video, thank you.
You should go deere and get a 8r those are always reliable
Ahhh, at the end the best, beautiful 💐 👀 Pieternella 🤗🍀...
Jan, your sister Nalene is very nice… you need to have her more in your videos.
You can see more of Neline on her own channel: A Dairy on the Prairie.
What about all the solids on the far side of the lagoon? It looks pretty thick bruh,,,
Btw hows your sis doing 😍 haven't seen her videos lately lol gorgeous ahaah
how long does it take for a milking
He has said on a good day, it takes about 3 hours.
In europe most countries is forbidden from 15.11 till 15.2 if or if its frosty
still hard to believe that watching shit being pumped is so interesting! Must blow the old school guys (your dad) that people enjoy these videos!!
So why can't you just run the pump back into the holding tank so its running and won't freeze up? I know it costs fuel but it won't be frozen...just a thought. Keep up the great videos!!
Here in Europe we have law for spreading any kind of manure from december to march. That is colled nitrete directive
I am glad that I don't have smellvision!!!👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦. Hello from Ottawa.
Where do you guys get all your sand
They have it on their property.
Saskatchewan -- almost anywhere, dig a foot or so down and you'll find sand.
Could you pump back into the pond?
Hola Jan!!.¡Saludos desde Argentina!..🌎👊👍

What is the sand for
Bedding for the cows. As shown at 14:51.
☄️☄️☄️☄️☄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶🥶
i want winter like those ( i live in Australia)
Ever though about an auger/elevator to get sand into the sand room? Never have to worry about banging the roof.
YEAH BABY!
Smart place to put that tractor.
