    I requested a while ago on doing a video of your training your staff on the farm. And how you decide people doing certain jobs. Would be interesting to hear you speak and your staff too. I think it would give a true hearted story as you have grown with them. You build what you create right? You set the tone right? You lead my example right? I have said that before keep being genuine.

    Top Manager you are Piet. Not always exciting, i know. But it takes a lot of afford.
    Kudos from a Dutch dairy farmer in Germany.

    Hi Piet. The Little Moos are really quiet in the morning !! Here in Montreal, Sunday night we drop to (-5c) We have been bouncing between teens and twenties as of late during the day.
    Sunday the weather is gonna dip down into low single digits. How did the harvest turn out this season? It looks really good on the farms I follow.

      We've had a couple nights below freezing so far. Yields on corn silage were about average, but alfalfa was record yield for us here.

    Excellent video Piet,do you have strict numbers on calves to keep and how many replacement heifers to keep? Youmentioned selling younger calves?

    • @pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
      @pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047  Місяць тому +1

      Yes, we have a good idea of how many heifers we want to calve monthly and try to raise close to that number of heifers.

    Love your channel! ❤about roughly does stuff cost? Like the manure screws? I think lots of people are curious about pricing, they don’t realize how much it cost to make milk or cheese or gelato 🍨. I appreciate the answer You replied back about baling silage bales! I had no idea of custom pricing. 😊thank you for sharing your experience with us all! 🎉

    Is most of the baleage baled with a baler that has knives to reduce the lenght of the alfalfa and take the strain off your Supreme TMR mixer? What were the typical winter weather conditions like on your dairy in the Netherlands?

    • @pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047
      @pietvanbedaf-nddairyfarmer9047  Місяць тому

      Yes, the baler does have knives, but we still need to shorten the length with our mixer. Winters are very moderate in the Netherlands. They do get snow and freezing temperatures, but nothing like we get here in North Dakota.

      A lot of notes and reminders. I try to finish things as much as possible to limit the amount of things I have going on.
