Cool operation you guys have there. Heard from your channel through a shout out. Nice to see a similar farm from across the pond. And I'm number 400! 😉
This is quite interesting. Back in the 70s when I worked on a dairy farm we didn't do anything as complicated as this. We fed haylage with clover, chopped corn silage, and field corn all from harvestore silos. That was about it. I don't recall adding any other nutrients. The cows also grazed in a pasture all day.
@Layne Meek Do they ever get to go outside? Get some sunshine. Eat fresh grass? Do they get to stay with their babies? Imagine that stress of having the baby ripped from you. Yes, animals have emotions too. I’ve seen new momma’s who have lost their calves mourn for days. Oh, yes. Healthier. Maybe. But I doubt it. I think this young man is doing a good job. I think his generation might bring back compassion to a stark environment. I know it’s about survival. But, at what cost is it, to humans and to the animals? Imho
Been expanding my knowledge into dairy operations more lately. Awesome videos! Cool to see how you guys do things. I'm located in a rural area but very little dairy operations my me. Grain and a couple beef farms. And one bison/beef :)
Thanks. Yeah we like the bunks. They take a decent amount of work and we occasionally deal with some mold we gotta pick off, but for the most part they're nice. I'm hoping to do a video on milking and maybe a little tour of the main barn sometime soon.
Questions,,.. 1. What is triticale ? 2. Is there a possibility to source for non GMO Soybean byproducts ? 3. What state is your farm located ? Thanks for the through videos. Your are providing us more insight on what we consume than you may realize. Loving your no nonsense videos. No Reality Show drama, just no frills on your daily work life.
You do very nice work! 6th gen farmer here as well, so not nearly long as yours! Other than that Keep it going long as you can & Very nice job on the Video editing skills. Greetings from Michigan.
What guides you to decide on how to mix the feeds for different categories of dairy cattle and what are the measurements when mixing feeds that would help to boost the cows milk production?
How long does it take you to make do a load in the mixer wagon. We are from New Zealand and have a 20 cubic metre strutmann 2401 and we put in the ryegrass straw, palm kernel, grass silage, minerals and supplements
Thx for your video, awesome farming, but can u tell me about the fedding rational ingredients percentage, like silege, rofuage or hay, soyameal, corn,vitamins, medicine, protin suppliment etc
yeah i saw it couple weeks ago at my friends place up here in alberta they milk 300 cows. they got it mounted on the bucket works like a charm. was first the way you have it but he said they got sick of that switching back and forth pretty quick. works great. An idea for a rainy day ;)
That silage cutter is made by a young dairy farmer in olay PA. His name is Eric also. Eric Hoover I believe. He builds them in the farm shop. If is a viable solution he would probably design one.
Thanks for posting! I have two questions for you: 1) How many cows do you milk? 2) I have a part time job mixing feed. Whenever I start feeding a group I have trouble getting the feed to flow out of the mixer evenly. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this?
I noticed your supplements are out in the open don’t mice get in the mixes ? Really liked watching you mix the food and watch the conveyor working. Pretty awesome
Hey I have 3 Black Angus heifers and one of the heifers is not growing well or getting any bigger what would you recommend to get it fatter and bigger also the other two are about the same size but need to get a little bit fatter but the little one needs to get a lot bigger and taller what would you recommend
Eric you put tow different grass and corn silage and crushed corn and toasted soybeans in the mix that a rich ration do give them pepcid oh I would bet the bacteria would help with acid and have you all considered robot milkers. Chocolate milk good you listen your dad and a very nice video.
It is a rich ration but we make sure we don't push them to hard. Cow health is very important to us. We would have to most likely build a new barn if we wanted robots and that not happening any time soon. Plus I like milking and would rather work with people than computers!
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 I feel you do like the contact with your cows and people and that's nice yeah cows like the contact also it seems to me for it reminds them of their calf thanks for your reply.
Hi love video a lot of work going in to dairy cowsbut I have to ask what cows is yield ing ie butter fat milk protein I know different markets. every where just curious
lol most farmers in my country only give cows hay,grass silage,corn silage and barley.they probably do stuff like this guy on large farms but never heard about giving cows soybeans
The silage was packed really well. Whoever did that done a nice job.
Another great video. That's some good looking corn silage and an excellently maintained bunk face. Good work
Cool operation you guys have there. Heard from your channel through a shout out. Nice to see a similar farm from across the pond. And I'm number 400! 😉
Farming Sim 19 lied to me! So much more that goes into it than just silage, straw and hay! Love it!
Yeah
Pyro's Lounge depends on the diet, each farm is different
Pyro's Lounge facts
C@SP3R most dearies in Australia just do corn silage and hay
Ye a lot more
Being a dairy farm is a whole lot of work. Thank you for your hard work, I love my milk.
No wonder your cows are so happy. They eat better than me. Great job😊
I had no idea that many ingredients went into feeding the cows. Very interesting. Thanks! =)
Great video man, those are some well fed cows thanks to you. Greetings from Victoria BC!
great vid!! i love the work with the feeds and silage. Ur cows will be healthy
Sweet operation I have a small channel with a steer and I make my own hay I'll be watching from now on because your farm is set up
This is quite interesting. Back in the 70s when I worked on a dairy farm we didn't do anything as complicated as this. We fed haylage with clover, chopped corn silage, and field corn all from harvestore silos. That was about it. I don't recall adding any other nutrients. The cows also grazed in a pasture all day.
That’s how feeding should be. It’s more complicated unnecessarily now and more costly.
They should graze naturally on pasture
@@fezabaydur2821 yes and milk should cost 20 $/gallon... would you buy it?
@Layne Meek

The scale is larger today and labour
Awesome video. Going on 13 years tmr feeder at the farm where I work.
good job! I was a dairyman in China and I fully respect what you have done!
Thank you! It would be interesting to see how you do it over there
Beautiful , pristine ,dairy farm ! Now all you need is a decent price for the product you produce. Keep making the videos,we'll keep watching !
Thank you. I agree, a decent price would be really helpful. I'll try to keep em coming!
Just now getting to watch this video, I have not seen them all, some I have repeated, all great...easy to watch.
I like the probiotic supplement something I’ve never thought about doing something I should do after sick animals have antibiotics
Wow alot of work for one feed. We out in normally 20 grabs of silage,minerals and vitamins sometimes we put straw in and maize
Been expanding my knowledge into dairy operations more lately. Awesome videos! Cool to see how you guys do things. I'm located in a rural area but very little dairy operations my me. Grain and a couple beef farms. And one bison/beef :)
Cool, thanks for watching!
Awesome setup you’ve got there. I love your commodity shed and would trade my bags for your bunker in a heartbeat... I’d love to see your parlor
Thanks. Yeah we like the bunks. They take a decent amount of work and we occasionally deal with some mold we gotta pick off, but for the most part they're nice. I'm hoping to do a video on milking and maybe a little tour of the main barn sometime soon.
Great job young man...
I love this old John Deere you have, gotta love those front doors! Also, the whole feeding process looks fun to me. :P
Great video anyways!
This is Nice to see how you are all douing feeding the cows in Amerika gr from Holland
Good work, Very interesting and different from what I did 65 and 70 years ago. Grandpa
Thanks! I bet it's a lot different
im really happy we do beef cows after seeing this. I thought unwrapping some bales ever other day was annoying. Fun video to watch for sure
Good job my friend
Questions,,..
1. What is triticale ?
2. Is there a possibility to source for non GMO Soybean byproducts ?
3. What state is your farm located ?

Happy cows 😊👍
I work like that for a few years with a clipboard now I use a medium size loader and a big mixer everything runs now by computer
Wow! I’m not a farmer, but that looks technical, your more like a dietitian 👊. Great vid though
Man that looks like a mean breakfast.
Greetings from Austria
should find a way to mount that silage cutter right on the bucket, save ya some time hooking and unhooking. great vid keep it up the great work
Interesting idea
yeah i saw it couple weeks ago at my friends place up here in alberta they milk 300 cows. they got it mounted on the bucket works like a charm. was first the way you have it but he said they got sick of that switching back and forth pretty quick. works great. An idea for a rainy day ;)

How can you tell when the forage is compacted enough irl
Instead of using molasses might want to try some Mt. Dew for the ladies!
Couldn't help but notice the dust and no respiratory protection. Careful you don't get hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
Nice vid
Nice video😉
Great video and interesting to see.
Thanks for posting! I have two questions for you: 1) How many cows do you milk? 2) I have a part time job mixing feed. Whenever I start feeding a group I have trouble getting the feed to flow out of the mixer evenly. Do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this?
Try not opening the door as much. That should regulate your feed flowage and make it more uniform.
That was for Tom Campbell. You got good even feed at the bunk😎
How long does the feed mixer run once you've added the silage?
Sehr schönes Video
I help papa an daddy feed our dairy cows we milk like 200 an I get to drive the skid steer an IAM only 12
Nice!
Be thankful for this. I grew up on a dairy farm and don't live one day without appreciating how it changed my life. I am 51 years old now.
I LIVE IN THE CITY AND I LIKE THIS? better then asmr
Good job
Them cows get fed better than I do
I noticed your supplements are out in the open don’t mice get in the mixes ? Really liked watching you mix the food and watch the conveyor working. Pretty awesome
We don't have much issues with mice thankfully
Nice job >> could you please write down the composition of the TMR and the kind of hay you add is it alfalfa or what>>>>>>> thank you
nice video broski
Can you tell us in a video about the history of your dairy farm ? You are definitely blessed !!
I should some time. Yes I am, thanks for the suggestion!
That os an awesome operation, wish I had one like that. I'm definetely gonna subscribe.
I love your channel 💪🏼😎 very cool stuff!! I think I want to sell all my race cares and buy a farm
i have a question.how do you give water to your lovely cow
Thanx for the video , could you please give me the component ratios of the mixture feed?? Thanx
Ótimo seus vídeos abraço!
Nice! Love the chocolate milk shot! Lol. So I’m not nor have I ever been a farmer of any kind so do these cows get feed round the clock or ? Thanks
We mix twice a day. Try to keep feed in front of them at all times. Thanks
that skid loader with the scraper tool is bad-ass and would be great for a zombie apocalypse 4:02
You ever play music for the cows? I heard somewhere that it helps them relax and produce more.
So to get chocolate milk do you push on black dot of holstein cows when milking them
What's the average daily feed intake per lactating cow?
Hey I have 3 Black Angus heifers and one of the heifers is not growing well or getting any bigger what would you recommend to get it fatter and bigger also the other two are about the same size but need to get a little bit fatter but the little one needs to get a lot bigger and taller what would you recommend
Most interesting
Does the protein supplement help with reproduction
Вот как надо правильно кормить скот! Конечно, и молоко будет и все! Молодцы, ответственно к работе относятся!
И премиксов кучу накидали.

Hey Can you share the TMR Formula and daily diet for Wet and Dry cows with percentage ratios
Молодец успехов в работе
Hey can you show you feeding sheat again someday?
love your vids. In my country there are only small farmers with 6 to 50.
why your cows dont graze like in field like in Ireland or UK? thanks.
wow makin me hungry
Lol... me too
Nice you have a great farm i like your john deere on the Triolet😉😉where you are in Canada?
Thanks! No, USA state of Pennsylvania
Hi love video a lot of work going in to dairy cowsbut I have to ask what cows is yield ing ie butter fat milk protein I know different markets. every where just curious
of course i was thinking about all the mice living in all that feed and going thru the mixer inadvertently :-O
What number is that John Deere tractor that your using on the mixer?
Очень интересно, спасибо
are you happy with new holland bobcats? heard they should be too reliable.
Yeah New Holland skid loaders are nice. Solid machines
Hard work
Looks like a nice mix. How many cows are you milking?
175
How long is this whole process?
Have you ever got covered in silage while removing it from the pile?
It doesn't throw it back that far thankfully
Did your brown cows produce that chocolate milk
What was that dark liquid you added ? Very nice video. Got yourself a sub.
Thanks! It is liquid molasses
lol most farmers in my country only give cows hay,grass silage,corn silage and barley.they probably do stuff like this guy on large farms but never heard about giving cows soybeans
what are the panels between the bays in the commodity barn made of?
Concrete bottem 4 feet then wood above that
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 how wide and long is it? I need to build a commodity barn for transition calf feed and need 3 bays to hold a semi load each
man your feed program is extra, i know this is a late comment but aprox how much per cow per day are you milking of this?
90+ lbs
Nice.
