Training Heifers In The Cowshed For The First Time

Today I am bringing the heifers to the milking shed to run them through it so they start getting used to it and become familiar with the process for when they calve and teat sealing etc.
I am also shutting down the cows in preparation for dry off soon

Nice one Andrew. I'm sure you told us before, I can't remember, but what's Steve's plans for the cows? Will he putting them in calf?
Is he also a dairy farmer?

[@benjaminbauer4883]

Steve is buying the cows and milking them though the winter. He will rejoin them in the coming spring or ponentially join them soon and have then as autumn calving cows. He is going to milk 3 cows though the winter and Andrew will pick them up again in the spring and rejoin them himself.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

He buys good young empties and milks them then gets them in calf for autumn calving, so march-may next year

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Except for mine, the 2 Hes milking for me he wont get in calf

[@cdemo1186]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer sweet as Andrew. I remember now you telling us last season. Head like a sive.
How's the winter holding up,still dry? We're finally getting a nice spell, not as much rain,plus its warmer so not to bad 😉

Nice weather. You're patience with the heifers is nice.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks 👍 its a patience game with them

[@pachukunnilful]

Why don't you wash the cow's udder... very poor hygiene

[@alanhenning2935]

Hi Andrew, Let the cows train the heifers before calving. Keep up the good work!

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Ok thanks!

Buenas soy de cuba cuando empiezan a parir estas chicas me gustaría que hicieras un video cuando empiecen los partos

[@willyfindlay4398]

Love that you dry Cows off so you can play Golf. Enjoy your break from Milking 😊

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks 👍

[@fisherh9111]

Are the rotaries easier to handle the new cows? I'd guess with a rotary they just walk into their own stall and don't have to line up and stay still.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I've never really worked in one sorry so I cant really say but i think once they get used to either they would be fine

[@herculesmuscle7787]

Top video. Ive got heated grips on my quad..... they are awesome.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I used to have them at one of my jobs and I totally agree!

[@MarkDonnelly-j9v]
