Hey thanks for watching the video!
Three things came to mind as I watched the cows on that farm. Clean, calm and content.. I am always amazed at how docile they remain around the robot milkers with all the sounds and movement that comes with them.
Breed matters as well
Hope you had a great time in California, from the imperial co California.
Just fascinating!! Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for doing it all and sharing. We are great full.
Glad you liked it!
great video Jan. thank you both
The entire layout and design of the place looks fresh af, I love it
What a beautiful farm. Clean and the cows look happy and it’s so quiet.
Thanks Jan for sharing the operations of a modern dairy and the use of robots in the process. Amazing.🤟🤟
Just impressive,thanks for showing us
It’s so quiet and they all look so relaxed
Wow! The kid shaved!
That was so interesting thank you Jan
Thank you for this video, it is very interesting to watch.👍 🐄🐄🐄
Ah yes…The “shit alleys” lol. Love this series. Bryan is a nice addition.
WOW!!!! What a great post. Thank you so much. Through you we are seeing some of the most advanced technology in the dairy industry. God bless.
Glad you like it!
Amazing technology. Thanks for another great tour, Jan.
Hey Jan , your farm is the best !!!
Very interesting. Thanks.
It's a really cool Barn, sometimes it Hard to Find Good worker's, having self-feeder's and milker It's way to go, Technology Amazing.
That's interesting, even cows can see where their milk is going !!! 😁😁😁😁😁
IT'S REALLY GREAT THAT YOU'RE GETTING TO SEE A LOT OF THE OTHER DAIRY OPERATIONS.
You guys look like you are having a good time.
Great video guys. Some amazing equipment. Thanks.
Here in Europe you see Lely quite a lot. Great equipment in my opinion. Nice tour and vids Jan. Greetings 🇧🇪
Thanks for wearing the USA cap! You are a gentleman.
Cool , thanks 👍👌
Thanks for the awesome educational video! Very interesting to see other farming operations.
Great video of this dairy farm.
I have really enjoyed you farm tours. You have a natural Canadian polite, sincere, plain spoken, charming personality. I get you want to raise the production values of your videos and you might feel you sometimes come off a little geeky. The geekiness is your vulnerability that makes you so relatable. UA-cam is full of fake inauthentic people. You are a great photographer and have a natural sense for word economy.
8:00 cows are saying "look at those funny cows!" never seeing a person walk by.
Amazing video as always Jan. And let us take a moment to show some sympathy/empathy to our friends Dima and Maxim whose country is under horrific conditions right now. With you guys❤🇺🇦🇨🇦
Must be really awful to get hundreds of billions of dollars, state of the art weaponry you almost immediately sell and get absolutely zero oversight on who they go to. Must be awful....
Thank you so much 😊
Awesome Video and Much Love From Kentucky, USA 🇺🇸
Thank you for this video...definitely cool...we've got quite a few in the uk and seems to be increasing in popularity
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming
Thanks for watching!! Your not to far from us!
Amazing 🤩
I have to research the "volunteer " foot bath have never even heard of the concept don't mind seen it, however it is not unreasonable to suspect that it would work as I have seen cattle go out of their way to browse on certain herbs and plants on occasion which are known to have medicinal qualities, we also give cows free access to straw to eat if they are not feeling well and this reduces the amount of high fibre we need to incorporate into the mix as most cows don't need much more than.5 kg but you can have some that need much more so they can go help themselves, working well in our system,, if a voluntary system works it would cut out a lot of messing around the dairy that's for sure.
Didn't see any head locks? Or did I miss them haha. Very innovative operation.
They wouldn’t have them in this barn, if they need to work on a cows they sort them out into those fetch pens out front!
Jan, thank you. After you finish this series of videos, It will be interesting to hear your thoughts on which new technology may be seriously looked at to improve or steamline your dairy’s operations.
That's interesting, even cows can see who & where their milk is going !!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Been stuck on the couch due to some health issues and in and out of the hospital so Ive been binging lol ! Day is made when a new video comes up usually gives me a laugh !
Hope you doing good
Had a dairy in Orland Ca a longtime ago. Milked about 100 head in elevated double three side openers. Would of loved to have a robot back then.
I had a grinder mixer that I mixed sugar-beet pulp pellets, ground whole cotton seed, corn, rice mill, and ground amond hulls. Hell I even fed whole Oranges in the feed trough. You should see a cow chomp down on a whole orange, orange juice dripping from the side of the mouth.
One more thing, out here in almond country, it is widely known that almonds are almonds on the tree and amonds off the tree. That is because they shake L out them getting them off the tree.
Keep up the good work, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
Thanks for the tour Jan, it cool to see how different yet so similar those daisy do business and milk they're heard. I think the robots are a little slow per cow, it would take forever to milk a 1000 head heard.
Aloha🤙🏼🤙🏼
Its called a voluntary milking system. Which means the cows have constant access to the robot and they milk when they feel like it, ie some cows will milk 3 times a day and others will milk 4 times. I think you work on 60 cows per robot.
Neighbor just did 20 DeLaval VMS this winter. So far great.
WOW YOU ARE GETTING GOOD VACATION GOOD FOR YOU YOU HAVE EARNED IT
Hahaha yes I really did! Thank you!
Hi Jan,realy intressting to see how those robots are milking all those cows, 720 awesome, never seen that.thanks for the tour.
Rad facility ... the cows look very content and the robot milkers were awesome, she didn't even flinch when the machine was cleaning her teats, .... I wonder what the ROI is on one of those.
Nice trip nice job on your videos
It looks that me my self taking tour and every thing is very cool! we see very big dairy farms up until and I hope you will give us a chance to see a very small farm for the future!
Amazing how quite and content the cows are. That’s the quietest barn I’ve ever seen or heard
God Bless them. I lived most of my life milking cows, & loved every day of it. Robots may have kept me in it.
Jan, thanks for the video. No headlocks in the stable. And very relaxed cows it seems. Genetics maybe?
A big step forward in the industry
Lely Exos is the next.
This from the 80's
Wow technology is absolutely insane 😳 when it works of course
There was 1 cow just hanging out beside the entry to the Miller and at 5:30 we see why. She's curious about how the machine works. You can see her head leaned in inspecting the arm as it washes her sister's teats. The camera angle changes but I'm pretty sure she watched rge second arm attaching to the teats too. How smart is that?
Greetings from Germany with 4 lely robots 😋
Very impressive set up! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
You must’ve gone to the ag show in Tulare. Only went their one time in the 30 yrs i lived in Ca.30 or so miles west of Tulare. You need to go check out other dairy’s in the area and see what they use. You’ll be very well intrigued. Be safe and have fun.
The cows look really contented.
Yea cows are usually really calm in robot barns!
We want to see a Delaval V300! 🤪
He already did a video on a farm where they had those.

@@henrithelion I can't post a link. For some reason UA-cam won't let me paste it in this comment. But if you search for "saskdutchkid robot" it is the second result.

Why not 310
Heat monitoring, pregnancy control, identification of cysts Swedish quality👍 but I really like Lelys too
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your trip with us.
That's brilliant seeing the cows in the foot bath on there own
Thank You
Enjoy that warm wind because when you get back to Canada we’ll I don’t need to say more it’s Canada 🍁. Very interesting content Thanks Jan. Does the different product in the feed make the milk taste different. Orange and almonds have a very distinct taste. Just wondering. But not all cows like the foot bath so won’t they just stay away from it. Can’t see that as being good or better.
Good question! I'd like to get an answer for your question also.
I would love to have seen that flush system work. It appears to keep the isles really clean and seems you can run it as many times a day as you want I guess.
Another excellent video
I assume Bryan is a dairy farmer also? Thanks for the tour.
I'd love to see how they break in first time milkers. For us who did it manually (admittedly years ago) that was always a big production with hooves flying everywhere.
Jan great vids. You should look up the full wood packo m2 robot.
love the farm tours great videos
udderly fascinating
you mentioned in previous videos having a fly issue. here's how to solve the problem: fill a plastic bag with some water, then hang it near a door or open window. The flies will not cross past the water bag. I know it sounds crazy but it works!
It’s hoard to imagine that many cows in a single operation. Love all the robotics they use. Thank you Jan
Great video
Does anyone know how noisy the robot is ?
My parents are dairy farmers in Ireland but the farm house is very close to the farm yard , would it be too noisy to install robot ?
So when the power goes off, I guess they fetch up every bucket in the County, and hand milk furiously !
Jan & Brian, Really enjoyed this tour! Amazing technology until the computer crashes. Do they have a back up manual plan? Was solar part of their infrastructure with all that roof area? Are they supported with enough acreage to supply the base of their feed or is it all imported? It would be interesting to see how they mixed the feed. That 'tracking' system is amazing!
I appreciate that you two keep your comments professional and respectful with a bit of insightful humor. Great job! Looking forward to the next Jan & Brian episode!
This size of herd normally buys all of their feed. I know that there are huge hay farms in sections of Arizona that have irrigation, and they supply to the huge dairy operations in Cal.,Arizona, and New Mexico. Grain I have no idea we’re it comes from.
Thanks for the information Dennis. Had no idea and interesting to see how far the reach for a gallon of milk!
Even if the computer crashes the robots will be able to keep milking for at least 24 hours because that’s how much backup information it stores I believe, and by that time the computer will already have been replaced by the technicians usually, you just won’t be able to add new cow information such as treatments and calving etc. Til the computer is restored
Janek, Thanks for responding with that great info. Sounds like a good solution for the computer crash, but do they recommend or require 'power' backup systems? We have had grid brown outs in the past here in SoCal, encouragement to avoid usage for large home appliances, etc. Is that a factor 'up there' in the central valleys?
@@jofarwell9744 I’m guessing not all farms have power back ups by you guys? Becouse here in Manitoba I haven’t heard of any farm that doesn’t have a backup generator, even if they milk with parlour
Thanks for posting this. I consume very little dairy these days. I am taken back to the late 1950's when Mrs Peabody taught me to milk a cow and treated me to a glass of milk from their new technology, a refrigerated holding tank. Truly state of the art for the day.
Ive been running the red robots in the province next to you for 4 years now, Its the way to go, even on large farms. Just need to be able to sort and you're set.
Are the robots noisy Davee ?
My parents are on a dairy farm in Ireland
They are getting old but farmhouse is next to farmyard
just wow, thanks for filming and sharing this experience!
Great video!
Thank you John!
❤️California. My home state too (Orange county).
The dairy i work in we milk around 870 with 16 machines flat barn but my boss will be adding 3 robots soon from Delaval. Robots will probably be running by August
Great awesome video Jan , barn has a real good layout and clean plus the robots are very well layed out
That's impressive. It's well laid out and has a very open look however you need the right climate. No point building that where you guys are from in Canada. You need a few walls 😃
Great tour video Jan and Bryan! I follow a few channels with robotic milkers. The volunteer foot bath is what stood out the most to me. Interesting video. Well done!
👍👌❤🇨🇦, another Sask boy, me too, not into the whole automation of milking, still like to have the human factor involved, keeps the economy going
@CARINA🦋
Maintenance is still needed every day. There is a lot of manual labor left to do!
@@erwinlageschaar5550 I agree but, to make the economy fluid you need people working, not automation which only creates jobs for a few
What happens when a power outage occurs? Machines DO breakdown, they need repairs and parts.
@G. Holman, I'm sure there is maintenance going on all the time. If everything is automated though, what happens when there are breakdowns and no parts are available? Or a long term power outage? Cows just can't wait a week for parts, then spit out a weeks worth of milk. They NEED to be milked a couple times EVERY day. Automation has it's limits.
Thank you for posting the robot video. I was wondering if they have a backup power supply. One wonders how big the generator would have to be. A big backup diesel generator would almost be a necessity to make sure of a consistent electrical supply. Your fact finding trip is definitely going to be interesting to see what you can incorporate in your dairy. One wonders if an "on-site" technician is required to make sure everything is working as it should. 😊
Neat!
Another nice video!
It would've been nice if the farm employee/manager would've talked more about what was going on, and I didn't see any Lely robots doing anything, other than milking. 🐂👍🇺🇸
I think the robot milkers are the way to go, saves a LOT of labor if you can afford them.
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Ganhou um inscrito brasileiro
So when are you coming to Tuttle Oklahoma and visit Braum's Dairy?
Very cool.🐄🐄🐄🐄☘️🇺🇸
Amazing. But I'm wondering why there were sparks shot out from the machine for a short while, then a window closed up to block that hole.
Those were lasers to locate the teats.
@@Pharphette Thanks.
Wow! That’s amazing! Wished we could’ve had robots milk our cows when I was growing up. Thanks for sharing.
Jan, my dad was a dairy farmer back in the 1940s-1960s, and died very tragically at an early age, so I missed out a lot of the actual farming activities. No other better way to grow into adulthood, feed your neighbors and make a lasting difference. I have watched every video of yours, so my questions is... Do you ever shave?? You seem to have a 2-3 day growth all of the time. I know, shaving can be a pain, but I was simply wondering. You do excellent work, represent and support one of the most elite and important industries of the world, keep going, growing and thank you for what you present to us.
You should do a tour a with Norther Dairyman. He has GEA robots
Well that was sooo interesting, I enjoyed that! I could tell that those are happy cows! 🐄 Technology is amazing, isn't it!!!
🚜 🚚 🐄 📡 🛰 👨🌾🤖
Those dairy farms are quite nice. What do they sleep on in that dairy farm. I saw an awful lot of information about their sleeping quarters in Scotland. They sleep on water beds and the corrals are not set where they are they move so that the cow doesn’t get bumped every time she goes to lay down. And are these cows allowed to see a bull for service?
Lely is Dutch i think liters wil be available.
Lely started whit the cow brush
