    All I need now, is a Pillow, Sheet and Blanket and a Coffee Mug and I would feel like I lived there for a very long time. You folks work very clean and orderly and as I travel with you on the "Tour" I can feel the "Pride" of the Family Farm. You never disappoint ! I am sure that you are the envy of many other farms. On another thought, I am sure that your Sister is a much faster milker than you, no doubt she is far better looking and I would bet she drives a nicer vehicle than you do....LOL J/K. Your parents must be very proud of their Efforts and Children. God Bless...Bulldog

    Great way to start a Sunday morning with a virtual farm tour. Not a single derelict building on your whole farm which is almost unheard of. I have a friend here who unbeknownst to him had two bins of damp fertilizer delivered in the winter. By spring when he went to use it is had solidified in the bins that were two years old. They had to go in with jackhammers to remove it and in the process damaged the inner coatings of the bins. The bins were declared a right off. Not something anyone needs to happen. Your farm is a class act all the way and your videos are some of the best out there. Still crossing my fingers for some sunny weather to dry things up a bit.

Yes these aged steers look a bit naughty. You don't have your own bulls so everything is AI for the heifers/cows. take care . I am from Scotland UK but have folks not far from you in BC.

    Wow Jan great tour of a beautiful and clean farming operation. While watching this I was thinking about how much endless work there is on a large dairy farm, our family had a massive herd of 20 dairy cows. How many calves are born every year? Typically how long do your cows keep producing? It must cost a fortune to heat all the buildings in winter. You are an amazing young man and I wish you all the best. Cole the cornstar has it easy as the crops do not need daily feeding and they don't poop :)

    Jan another excellent video, thank you for everything that goes into entertaining and educating us. Here in 🇿🇦 15 degrees C is pretty cool and you’re walking around in a T-shirt and the cows are comfortable. I suppose it’s relative for you to your colder winter temperatures. I often also wonder about the constant noise of the fans, but again you and your “ladies” are all used to it. Peace Jan.

    Awesome setup of a dairy. I would die for to have your calf barns as when I was raising calves it was all outside and had -20 to -30 degrees below zero for a straight month or more. When the temperature got up in the 30's it seemed like it was shorts weather lol. I love the overhangs on the parlor with those trees varnished or stained. I would love to see you shipping out steers on a semi.

    Hi Jan, great video as usual. One question and a comment.
    You said your parents bought the farm - so did you purchase it from The Netherlands?
    And my comment us your manure lagoon. In Ireland it would be a huge health and safety issue not to have it fenced off and secured particularly when it's so deep.

    It looks like you have put a lot of thought into the design of the farm to make it as efficient as possible and also function well in the colder climate of Canada. Did you design it yourself, higher a farm architect? We have seen your mom in a few videos and glimpses of your dad. It would be really cool if you could persuade them to do a Q and A and provide a bit of insight into the design process and the plans that you may have developed over time since you bought the farm. Thanks for opening up your farm to us!
