    Good video & content of a very efficient farm dairy! I believe its your gimbal that is constantly in the bottom right of the shot, perhaps a different setting on your camera is required to avoid this in future videos?

      No, it's not a product, it's a process called "freeze branding", normally done by contractors using liquid nitrogen and non-ferrous branding irons (oops, and hair shavers).

    I don’t care for the way the crowd gate is designed. You need to be very careful that a cow doesn’t get her head in between the rails and gets jammed as the gate advances

    • @danbrewer
      @danbrewer ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep I have seen this type of gate go wrong twice. Not a pretty sight

    • @mememachine5244
      @mememachine5244 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tbh given how the guy described an electric motor as hydraulic twice I don't think they have the foresight to see that.
      Can easily see a cow getting her head stuck, you know given this type of farm encourages them to put their heads between railings.

  • @jascollinscork
    @jascollinscork ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Very interesting can’t believe they milking about 1700 with just 72 units just goes to show how effective the whole system is!! Farmers milking ALOT less and spending too much time in the parlour 🙄

    • @michaelwalsh9145
      @michaelwalsh9145 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’d imagine that they milk all day long with shift milkers as they only fit around 300 cows in the collection yard.

  • @JohntyNich
    @JohntyNich ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would have hated to be doing the same job even if they swap every couple of hours. Loved working with cows but just cleaning or putting on would have been mind numbing. Fair play to those that do it.

    • @michaelwalsh9145
      @michaelwalsh9145 ปีที่แล้ว

      Milking is a relentless job especially when you’re in your own, no matter how fast you milk you no sooner have them milked in the morning when it’s time for evening milking and vice versa.

      He stated that at about the 3/4 mark the cows are done being milked and the machines drop off so roughly 7 1/2 minutes the machines will be on.
