Racing the Rain/Cutting Hay/Raking Hay/Round Baling Hay Before the Weather turns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2022
- With a gorgeous 7-day forecast predicted, Alan continued to work on first crop hay. He took the John Deere 820 tractor with New Holland 489 Haybine and started cutting two more hay fields. Jen shares how the Dairy cows are enjoying their new pasture, and Jolene's new Brown Swiss Heifer calf. The next day, the 820 was put to work with the M&W V Rake. Shortly after that though, the weather forecast took an unexpected turn and there was rain coming. Alan and his brother, Paul, teamed up with one on the International 1256 tractor with New Holland Round 853 Baler and the other running the 830 Case tractor and International Round Baler, they quickly got to work and before long the rain started to fall. They were able to finish the first field of better quality hay, but the second field would have to wait. The weather can be a challenge as any farmer knows, but beating the rain and putting up a good crop of hay is extra rewarding.

We milk a mix of 33 Jersey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire cattle. We also enjoy sharing our family's love of Draft Horses and using them for logging and other farm work. Subscribe today to watch our small family dairy farm and family grow while continuing to thank our Lord for the blessings we've been given
You know what? With all the negativity in the world today it is pretty nice to see the back bone of this great country. You not only bring us food to eat and milk to drink but you bring the most important thing and that is peace thank you for sharing your videos.👍👍👍
It’s so cool to watch you pet the cows like they are housebroken LOL 😂. Most cows when they are laying down seem to get right up as soon as someone gets close and touches them. Just like a house pet. All of you young folks have a blessed weekend.
I remember when I could walk up to our milk cows in the 60's and 70's like that in the pasture and cow yard. Thank you for jerking those great memories lose. Lady looks like she will may a wonderful ribbon winner and great milk cow.
As a retired fairy farmer, I applaud your hands on mingling with your cattle!! As a now golf course superintendent I admire you for trying to beat mother nature! I'm pumping close to 500,000 gallons of water to our golf course every nite! I'm in northern Michigan and the drought is terrible up here! May God bless you and your family for a bountiful harvest! Be safe my friend, all the best to you!
I love and appreciate the team work that goes into your videos of daily life on a small dairy farm 🚜 great content 👌
Trinity Dairy I just want to say how much I love you guys and I enjoy watching every video. And how family-oriented you guys are and you have friends that have your back that's awesome. Keep going to God you're doing a heck of a job thank you so much for all the videos. Stay classy stay safe God bless
I just love how you raise your cows. You treat them with the care they deserve and they thrive. Stay safe and God bless.
Thank you for the video, you are so blessed to have this way of living with your family🙏
We all know Alan loves that John Deere .. Great job
I have never seen such an entire herd of gentle cows great job bless you guys
The videographer earned an Academy Award-level video, lifting me from sadness. The views of contented cows, young lads playing in a hay field as the patriarch & friend mow grass astride their tractors. It was a relaxing, peaceful, ethereal-like experience that bestowed peace to an older man's soul!
Thank you for sharing some of your daily life!🙂
Nice to have two rigs out baling, with those rain clouds closing in. Seeing your cows out on pasture, makes me nostalgic for my youth. When were milking 30-40 cows, we did rotational grazing . It is only a short time before the cows figure out when they see you out in the field, they are going to new grass, and hike right over. Your cows look so content, just the way milk cows should be . Great video
I v been on the farm for my hole life I just love animals
Hay looks good! Cows are content, they're chewing their cuds! Weathermen are in the same category as lawyers & politicians!
Glad to see Paul and the Case 830 working
WOW ,you have a beautiful pasture and contented cows ! No abuse of animals, just respect and proper management. God 🙌Bless !!
It was so nice to see the cows today and the babies Dot must be feeling bad she didn’t try to hog the scenes
The best part of a tie stall dairy herd is the gentleness of the cows. Good looking grassy alfalfa hay crop.
I love how you show how cows are to be treated loved not just a number
Always said a weatherman is the only job you can have and be wrong 80% of the time and still keep your job
Super film 👍
glad the weather held out for you that is alot of hay to get wet
So great to see the good old reliable machines.
I'm not a fan of all these modern ones with computers.
Glad to see Paul make a video, haven't seen him in one for a while.
He had that same cold bug as us so he was pretty whooped after work.
@@trinitydairy Alittle Diesel smoke, 560, and 3 wheeler time is just the medicine he needs!😀
The girls are looking good out on grass and in the sun. Glad you got the first field baled in time. 🌞🌞
Awesome video as always I miss that smell of fresh cut hay i can smell it through my phone lol.!!
They're so happy out on pasture! Thank you!!! Gaotta love the girls!
Great video, love the lazing cows in the tall grass. And of course the wonders of the hay field for a small child!
Loved this episode. Jen chilling with the cows 🐄 was just lovely to see. Beautiful spot where your farm is 💜
Ladies beautiful now you got two more brown swiss with Duchess’s calf
Love seeing Allen drive that green tractor. He seems to really enjoy driving it. Maybe just maybe he should think about trading in some of his red for green. Lol
That’s gonna make some great feed for
Your cows, better crop then you expected? That IH baler makes a nice bale.
Beautiful herd of cattle. Looks like they’re very well cared for!
The weather, always a factor in farming. You were fortunate to have the second baler and tractor available, not mention help. Hay looked to be decent though thanks for the ride along.
Paul to the rescue! Was wondering where Paul was. Hadn't seen him in a video for awhile. And here is proof to the saying, " You can never own too much equipment." Comes in handy in times like this when you are trying to beat the weather.
He caught the same cold bug as us so he was pretty whooped after working all day.
Glad you got your hay up. That looked really awesome hay. It's nice to see how calm your cows look and how you can't interact with them. It's not like with the big farmers who think they know everything. You can keep your cows much healthier out on grass and not on cement.. Dad always said.. he should have been a weather man. Cause what other job can you have and be wrong 99 percent of the time and still keep your job and get payed like for being wrong. Lol. Thank you for the video..
Great camera work. Nice seeing the cows on pasture.
Cows look good 👍, looks like they're loving the pasture. Nice you could get some help to beat the rain,looks like nice feed 👌
Oh, I think the leader of the 'gals' needs a cow bell.
Pretty sure George Gierok could set you up.
Another very good video like some good hay and the calf is so cute
Realy enjoyed this video
Wow that's awesome to see your cows look very happy healthy and so friendly, hello I watching from a new Zealand dairy farm
Great team work.
Here in Colorado, We just got done putting up 1st cutting alfalfa...It was so dry we couldn’t even get dew at night to bale . Glad you got your hay put up.
Lovely
looking good and God bless yall and good luck
Glad you got the hay in. Your cows trust you. On the big farms that milk hundreds or thousands of cows... you don't see that. I think it's a good thing.
Love your videos god bless you and yours
Thanks
Prayers
Takes a team to.run farm. Glad you got the hay up before the rain. I would love you to make video explaining the improvements you have made to the farm and cattle since you started the channel.
California doesn’t have the only happy cows🐄🐄
awesome grass cutting but it will become hay when dried #❤️👍👍
Let me guess. You have that famous weather person named Mos Li Wong giving your forecasts? ;-) Thanks for sharing and God Bless you all!!!
looks like there some pretty big storms out your way last night. Hopefully you got all your hay in. We finished up last Wednesday and yesterday by brothers and I took in the tractor pulls in Tomah.... good times.
Yes we did. My Father in law and Jen were hoping to make it to Tomah for the pulls but it didn't work out.
yeah it's nice here too rite at a hundred hazy too
Just watched this video of Jen in the pasture with the cows with the wife(she's not a farm girl). Figured out the cows LOVE Jen. Lol.
It's mutual.
@@trinitydairy Kinda figured that,,,lol
Also hope your doing OK with tonight's storm. We're getting pounded.
We're not supposed to get nearly as much as everyone else is. Stay safe!
Alan that hay looks great how are your cows doing how many jerseys are you milking and how did your neighbors guernseys sell for and where did they go to
Now you got two milking Guernseys great
Looks like beautiful hay. Could of had the square baler out there too or maybe you didn't have enough drivers.
For not really liking John Deere you sure look good on the 820.
A nice day for the cows to be in the pasture. Looks like the new rake does a nice job. Cool watching both round balers in the same field. Is this hay for the milk cows?
Yeah this will be for the milk cows.
a top from a probox and sum oldjunk pipe prices make u a nice top notch sunshade /downpour hail protection
glad it worked out and so much for the wheather man hé, did you see something on the news last week about the farmers protest in the netherlands about 30000farmers were protesting against the government, they wanna get rid of all the farmers and build houses for all the people that cross our borders every year, greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
I haven't heard that, but good for them, I hope there protest was effective.
have no fait in the government
Us either!
Great vid can we have a miking start to finish vid pls 👍👌
That would be about an hour long
👍👍
I enjoy seeing cows out on grass pasture, however, what I have learned from 14 years of intensive rotational grazing is it takes extreme management to keep milk production up if grazing is your only source of forage.
When dairy cows are grazing on mature grass that is already headed out, production tumbles.
The dip stick on your bulk tank lets you know immediately.
June is the worst month because grass heads out quickly and you got to keep cows on lush pastures that are NOT headed out in order to maximize milk production.
As I stated , if other forages are fed you can turn cows into mature grass that is headed out but relying strictly on pasture, grass that is mature and headed out will not keep milk production up.
Totally agree. Our cows have pasture access but also have silage and high quality hay or baleage available too
Alan, how big of a bale does your new Holland baler make? I’m sure you’ve said before but I forget. Neat seeing both rigs out earring their keep!
It's 5ft high and I think 4.5ft wide.
The girls are lovin the shade! Where’s all the calves?
Enjoying the cool barn.
What a view and cut calf "Lady" I think was her name
👍 God bless you American farmers. You all have had to work through all the global pandemic
Your welcome 😁
That is some nice looking hay! What mix is in it? I call weather folks weather guessers and think they should get paid on their percent accuracy, not a fixed six figure salary.
It's alfalfa Timothy and orchard grass. That's a good idea!
how much first crop do you put up for silage. You Guys do have some realy nice looking cows
I usually don't chop any, as far as wrapped bales, I think the most I've done in one season is about 70, some years I don't do any, a lot depends on the weather.
Are they going to wrap the bales
Not those, they were dry, that hay actually laid 2 days, no 1 like it said in the video.
Did u guys wrap that or did dry that fast for dry hay. I saw dust coming out but hard to tell from watching?
Jen made a mistake saying it was the next day, it laid for 2 days so it was nice and dry.
whats the box on the front of the jd? nice bunch of friendly cows who owns the second baler
That box is for putting rocks in, if you find them in the field, but it's kind of a junk collector now. I own both balers .
@@trinitydairy What is the model number on the International Baler? That thing is seriously cool.
Weatherman is the only job where you are paid to be wrong
Your round baler will handle a windrow 10 times bigger , and a much better bale! We have the same baler on our little stamp on this world. No hate , maybe give it a try!
Oh definitely, I've baled windrows that fill the entire pickup, but with that shorter hay, I would have to put 4 windrows together, and I have a lot more loss raking it that much.
At leaqt you are rolling hay first time in 30 years did not cut... We roll must years 150 JD566 5x6 rolls on 60 acre bad times in Texas. If i was running your windrows i would pull 2 to 1 . I think that 1256 and the NH will pick it up still in low 4. I run my 706 low 4 winrows dragging the drawbar with the 566 vary little weaving.
for no particular reason I thought the 830 was pulling a Hessten baler, as I got a better look at it, I seen it's a International, did you have high winds and Rain Last night? we got nailed pretty hard here
Hesston built those balers and other hay equipment for IH.
Yes we got about 2 inches, North of us got hit harder
We got a nice rain, I don't think we had to much wind. New Idea made those balers.
Yes they did my mistake, Hesston came later on. Thanks.
What baler was the Ole case tractor running? Never seen that, first thought it was a new idea soft core
Yeah it's a new idea soft core, they made them for International, and that's what I have.
@@trinitydairy for a small baler it puts out bigger bale's than I thought.
It's a 4ft high, by 5ft wide bale.
Would that be a new idea baler that Paul was running
It's a international, but they are made by New Idea.
Which baler makes the better bale Alan?
I would say they are pretty equal, the International makes a soft core bale, so they are not as tight of a bale as the New Holland.
No fenders on the Case?
We took the cab off to replace the fuel tank, the cab will go back on.
@@trinitydairy Gotcha, thanks.
Look up Justin didn’t break the hangup then Alan could bail
Hay looked good. Meteorologist not so much.
👍👌❤🇨🇦
how meny akers do you farm
We farm about 200
@@trinitydairy we farm about 500 in MN
Where's the dog?
We need to get him in a video again. He likes to run, so we can't have him loose yet.

Great team work.
