The FIRST cows are IN!! | Building Our Cow Palace - Ep67

This has been a long time coming. At least it sure has felt like a long time coming. But in this video the first animals are moving in!!
But of course, there is the rush of getting the last few jobs finished up, like sand and straw in, some random parts moved from - well everywhere.
But then. One of the moments we have been waiting and preparing for for a very long time. Cows moving in.
Now this isn't the milk cows, so the robots are going to be fired up another day, but to get the heifers and dry cows in is a very significant step. It means the manure system is ready. The water system is ready. And pretty much all the electrical is done.
This is an exciting video!
In case you are curious: the Sand Thrower is a BECKER WOODCHUCK & the Straw Chopper is a PICUS RM5.
