- It's not quite finished but I really need to move some calves around to make it way easier for feeding and saving a heap of time too

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!!

Coming together beautifully 🙂 the calves are adorable.
That's brilliant Andrew,the calves are in thier new home,sweet as. 👌🏼
That shed is looking good. You've done a good job at that. Stay safe 🏴
cool shed the locked off end will make a good workshop or storage area nice healthy looking calves
That shed is looking nice have a good rest of the week we only have 40 ish Cows left calf
That’s a brilliant shed, calves will do well in there with the high roof which looks like it will create good air flow. You’ve giving myself good ideas 💡 👍
Yep good air flow but might let a bit of rain in if it’s driving in, catch22 🤷
Haha that’s cool then 👌
I think you would keep your feeders much cleaner if you continue to feed on the gate instead of the pulley system. I would be concerned if you have an outbreak of something, cleaning those pulley feeders would be difficult.
Your calves look beautiful, and your shed is a fantastic addition.
Yeah that’s true 👍
Thanks it’s certainly a lot easier than what we had 👌
Shed looks mint mate 👌
The grey round 20 teat milkbar feeders would be good in your shed. We use them and they are great.
An idea for your gates dropping like that is to add some galv steel strapping like the builders used for stiffening across the roof structure if applied diagonally to the gate it would stiffen those too.
That’s true, probably easier to get different gates but I’ll see how I go 😅

Looks great mate
Great job Andrew for handy money 👍👍
Reuse or recycling at its best Anfrew! So happy to see your new building working for you and making things easier with the calves. Lots of tails wagging and that means happy calves.
Hello Andrew looks great have a good day.
Brillient work mate
looking Good Man.
So cute n beautiful calves God's creation is truely beautiful God bless you n the calves 💕💕💕💕💕
shed is looking mint andrew
I looked up the word chucked, which you use quite regularly.
Webster dictionary
Toss, throw and discard.
Obviously Webster is found wanting.
They are yet to discover other meanings.
Example. I chucked the off cut of ply on the wall. Means utilizing the off cut of ply, to construct a rail to support the calf feeder.
Waste not want not 😉
Haha very clever Paul!
Yes I do tend to use it quite a bit 😅
Absolutely love seeing all the calves just wondering though if maybe you have some rubber matting you can put on the trailer floor to stop the calves slipping when being moved , the feeders are great but as the calves grow might be too low trial and error sweetie you’ll get it sorted hope they family is all good x
Don’t use the trailer much to move them but a rubber floor would be idea for when we do.
It’s good being low, simulates the udder and it’s good for the calf 👍
Good job
Parabéns, os bezerros são muito bonitos, e a estrutura para eles ficou excelente, grande abraço do 🇧🇷
Nice 🐓🐓🐓🐓
HI from Mesa AZ
You just need to redrill onto the other side of the poles so you gates willatch
A man after my own heart round here every body seems to want to get into debt one guy said he’s quite confident he’ll get it paid off in 3 generations
😅 that’s a few years then!
Great vid mate, new shed looking good. No matter how many you have, you'll always want another one haha.
That’s 💯 correct! You can always fill it with something 😂
Had a through about your shed you need two small gates in your calf shed so you don't have to climb over the gate to.get.into.the pens if drive our Post in the middle in the side bye you can hang a small gate of each Post to make it walkthrough
Yep would be handy but if I had a motorised milk pump I could just stand in the pens and fill the feeders 👍
Hi Andrew Is it possible for you to give information about jersey daily milk yield? I think I'll start with the jersey
That’s bit of a hard question as it changes through out the season and also very variable as to how much your feeding them as well sorry
first one to say today love your videos keep it up have a great week
Awesome shed mate very jealous haha
Nah just get rid of those mesh gates, you've got a nice new shed just get proper good gates for it
money dosent grow on trees
@@mickward6751 money does grow on trees you just have got to grow the right ones good.
Use what you have already
iLove farm 😘😘😘
Awesome shed. Looking at building a similar shed. What's the depth ?
It’s 9m which is alright but if you got the option go 10m, I reckon 1 more meter wouldn’t hurt 👍
Hey Andrew how far is the new calf shed from the cowshed? Will you still use the old cowshed/ calf shed for the new borns ?
It’s probably about 800m down the road so a fair way, yeah I’ll use the old cowshed for bobbies
EMAUIEL
I had to laugh. It seems that a common thing is for livestock growers to need "wire" to make things work. LOL Actually your fancy, we use baler twine. You just needed to replace it every now and then when it was sisal twine. Heck we thought we had hit the "big" time when we switched to poly twine. LOL
Haha yeah baking twines used here pretty intensively to! Fixes most problems 😂
Hey mate the shed looks awesome and do you still use or have the quad bike last time I saw it was in the shed where the Ute was stolen
Hi Sam.
Yes the TRX 2×4 300 is still in our possession. It was an old bike 20 years ago. Same motor second frame.
👌
Do the calves not stay with their mothers in the farm ? Do they not need the cow milk ? I heard that cows cry when their babies are lost
No, they still get milk
How much damage did the flooding do to your farm?
Most of the farm is on the high ground with only a few low flooded paddocks. The water has drained away now with the fine weather we have had.
I am from India and my b.sc agriculture graduation is complete and i work your live stock farm please reply me and tell me that how i reach your farm
Where can I buy such a calf feeder?
Farmsouce
🐮👍
it's raid on the world the same. the farmer's last advice is wire. if he is not at hand, he takes a rope.
Baking twine works a treat 👌
Why use new when u can make from things u allready have🤩 some ones garbages can be another mans treassure🤩
Yes that’s so true 👌
wow those calf are so skinny
how come there not with moms ive seen farmers separating babies from mom as soon as their born some of them do this some dont why do they do this doesnt it upset the mom
Sometimes mum doesn’t have the best quality milk that the calf needs and can’t give it enough either so when we take them off we can control that to give the calf the best start to life
Who makes that calf trailer?
Gibbons, made In morrinsville
Cheers
