Hi Jan, excellent presentation and the information you put into your videos is probably the best on RUclips. You present dairyman in the true caring way that the so called news presenters could learn from. You don’t hide the tough times or decisions you and your family have to make. Congratulations from Tasmania Australia, really glad I found your site. Cheers
My dad would put a fresh heifer beside an old cow to learn milking ,which we did by hand. If the calf stood by her bag she would be more calm being milked. Your heifers must be used to your handling a bit already. They like you and they are quiet around you. I thought the hammer mill would be bigger. The motor sure is. Keen to see how it works. Good video SDK. Peace.
At 2:58 I jumped when that heifer kicked in the milking parlor. Good thing there is a metal lip at the back of the milking stall, as you would have gotten kicked and injured, yet you didn't flinch at all.. Then immediately following the drone shot of the setting sun over the farm was fantastic. 🚜 🚜 🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 🚜 🚜 🚜
Yhon That hammer mill look's great the finer the grain is milled to the better digested make sense. Thank you for sharing. Like watching you farming. Please Take Care of your self Plus Be Very Care Full around all Farm Equipment.
wow !!! love your videos ( going back now to see all the old ones now) Thank you for sharing .... Glenn/molly/abbey & madmax " our cat " from Coleman, Texas....... :)
You are an amazing young man you've been taught well how to work hard and how to appreciate what you have and your videos on how you tend your cattle and your farm just amaze me I have never seen a baler that picks up hay bales that was amazing to watch this morning god bless you hope you enjoy your day love you from mississippi way down south wish I could come to Canada
Clean the windshield good and put furniture polish on it ...The polish will fill in the scratches....Its amazing how it helps...Works great on a plastic windshield....I couldn't tell if you had glass or plastic
About the bales, why dont you put the bales on discarted railroad tracks to elevate them from the ground? Then you wont have issues with them freezing to the ground, and it would probably help them to dry easier
For you scratched up windshield take Ajax cleanser and make a paste out if it. Place it all over the windshield let it set for ten minutes. Takes a wet cloth and clean it off it will take a lot of the scratches out.
Use Ajax powder mix into a paste then rub it into your windshield like waxing a car. Let it sit for a half hour then clean should take the scratches out give it a try. Love your channel
That hammermill should help out significantly. The finer the particle, the better digestion for the dairy cow, less grain left on the table. Interested to hear how it's doing after having it installed for a while.
Wow! Makes my day when I sign on and find a new video from you Jan. And a great video it is. You make the transition from one job to the next look so easy! The drone footage is super great! It will be interesting to see how you get that hammermill into the shed. Thanks for another great video!
Hi Sask Dutch kid : I been watching your show for a few months now. I used to live in Sask as a young lad . Now Im an old retired John Deere Mechanic. I noticed your tractor window a few shows back. I may have a little tip for cleaning your scratchy window. If you have a small die grinder and some small scotch bright pads. This sounds scary but it will work. Try it on a small spot first . I have done this before on some old tractors.
Have you ever thought about loading a convey truck? Then have the convey truck shoot the sand into the storage area? I use to drive one. It would work perfectly for what you need there.
I noticed in my small feedlot that when i switched from a roller mill to a hammer mill i was using only 80% as much grain and getting the same rate of gain. Be interesting to see your results on the difference.
Jan, thanks for the video. Shots of trees getting fall colours were beautiful. When do you typically start closing the barns up for winter? Greats from Holland.
Still see manure in your lagoon. Planning on getting back to it ? Got some solid stuff to spread .. Great Stuff !!colder weather coming !! Careful with your new toy !!
Why did you decide to move away from rolling barley to milling barley especially in a TMR feed scenario? Does milling not increase the risk of acidosis verses rolling ? Will milling not increase the “fines” portion of the TMR?
That was my thought as well. I'm hardly an expert but it sounds like he's going from a proper coffee grinder to one of those cheap types that's just a blender and leaves you with 25% untouched, 25% halves, and 50% talcum powder. Lol
@@dregenius if only it was 25 25 & & 50, it will be more like 100% powder, which is not what dairy cows needs. Rapid fluctuations in rumen PH, TMR sorting, etc, etc. I’ll need you to back me up when Jan is explaining himself out off this one.
The hammer mill won’t process the grain to powder from what I know a hammer mill does a less consistent job of processing the grain than a roller. Crushing the grain with hammer or roller will increase the acid but the cows can’t utilize the grain to most efficiently. if the grain is not cracked putting the grain in the mix would be a waste. If there balancing there diet with other roughages and slowly introducing the grain there should be no issues and the cattle have probably been on grain since there calves anyway so the chance of acidosis is low anyway.
@@benjaminbauer4883 ......nope! Hammer mills by their very nature reduce grain to a maximum size ( I.E. the mesh size ) which is only needed when producing livestock feed for concentrate or poultry feed. Rolling grain on the other hand, should only crack the grain, which means the starch in the grain has less of a surface area, thereby slowing the rate of digestion & and acid production load in the rumen. Irregardless of grain processing method, the diet has to be balanced with roughage and digestible fibre anyway. Your point and proposal, that cows are fed on grains as.calves is irrelevant, as acidosis is a nutritional disease at any given point in a ruminants life. E.G. calves can get acidosis too. Moving from a good quality roller mill to a hammer mill could potentially increase the feed conversion efficiency of barley to milk but the risk is that he could end up having to feed less barley which will reduce production !!! Will Jan be honest enough to show us the real results......
Try using a paste wax on your windshield put it on let it dry and buff it off good it should decrease the amount of glare and you won’t have to use your windshield wiper if it starts raining it’ll just run right off try a small part of the window first if it works then go for it
1111 must be a good one. 1111 was the number on my Father's milk cans when we shipped milk to a dairy before bulk tanks. He stopped milking cows in 1964.
Oh lord I needed a good laugh, I think you beat your shadow in that race by a hair😉. Some nice looking heifers, there always has to be one that gives a guy a hard time though. The heifer that calved this morning really did look like she was full of piss and vinegar, i thought she was going try and jump at water there, or slip on the floor. Still enjoying your aerial shots, didn't you say your folks planted all those trees? Well fall is in the air. Here in South Dakota it was supposed to freeze overnight but the wind might have saved us. Take care and thanks again for sharing a window into your world. I can still smell my aunt and uncle's place, house, barn everything smells like cows🐄 so much fun!
Hey Jan, I have a question for female calf, if female cow grows bigger you use them for breeding heifers after that breeding do you use them for milk *(l mean if female cows dones breeding when she will turn milk cow officially)*. Waiting for response
Your new hammer mill looks like an industrial size blender. Just think what you could do with that thing with 20 pounds of ice, a box of salt, 10 gallons of lime juice and gallon of tequila! That's the way to keep a barn full of girls happy!
They make automotive glass polish it takes scratches out you can get it from the Eastwood Company and probably Amazon it doesn't take very long using an electric orbital polisher I'm sure you can find a RUclips video to show you how to do it
About the sand pit, did you remove and pile the top soil? You stated that there was only a single layer of the type of sand you utilize for bedding. Are there any rehab plans for the sand pit? Have you resloped, covered with top soil and plant depleted sand area? Just asking.😏Is the new grinding mill using more electrical power?
Nice video and explanation on the farm, WOW the grain ill motor is huge. Always updates to farming, it seems constant never-ending. but that's life. LOL Hey, I loved you racing your own shadow, did you win the race???
As ex dairy guy, to take trailer loads, you still need a loader, then a tractor and trailer which means another person, then from previous vids Jan's said you can't tip a trailer inside the sand barn area. Then it's got to be pushed in, sand going every where doing that- so I'd say it's best hes doing it like he is doing??
Cattle have a way of never doing what you want them to do. Why don’t you use either one of your silage trucks or something else to haul,sand instead of hauling one scoop at a time.
Oh those sunrise shots were beautiful, not particularly the one through your scratched windshield. Jan, your videos are masterful and you even add in the colorful trees that you know we will like. The drone view of the bale loader were really nice. Days are getting shorter but the work you have to do keeps getting longer. Go get started on that new grain mull😜😜
He's in Sask, where sandpits are all over the place, but the nearest logging sawmill is over 500 miles away. So even if they had to buy sand, it would be much cheaper than shavings.

Great job helping the fresh heifer with her first milking. It’s amazing how much respect your family has for your herd.
"This guys trying to race me!" LMAO We love when you show your funny side!! MOREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I thought that racing the tractors shadow was pretty funny too.
I guess it is quite off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online?
@Ricky Johnny i would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)
@Hayden Colt yea, have been using FlixZone for since march myself =)
@Hayden Colt thanks, I went there and it seems to work :D I really appreciate it!
Amazing how you are able and willing to switch from job to job. Whatever needs to be done , I guess. Thanx for sharin', Jan. Great vid.
Can you imagine how expensive a gallon of milk would be if there were labor unions running a dairy farm?
@@bobjohnson1710 lol here the last government we had did make us pay worker compensation we know it was coming it was a very good idea we did think it was a good idea afterwards especially if someone gets hurt we employee 100 people here lot of it is fieldwork
the presiding government has thrown out the worker compensation really don't like the government at all we are very big for being a dairy farm he wants to do a live newscast here my dad to him to get off the farm and never step foot back on the property
he lost more job since he came in and creaked jobs for and another province my family did work off the farm to work at a power plant his a drink nuclear bubby want us to build a nuclear power plant here
only one problem it will be made to meld down their plans are to quipped the heart of Alberta oil and gas economy with the nuclear meld down that will push back more money to the other province

Thanks for posting. Cool stuff. Beautiful farm country. Greetings from NYC. Hello to all those cattle.
It’s pretty cool that you are to use everything from you ground to provide for your cattle. From the sand for bedding to crops for feed
Great to see such modern farming 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Go Jan go!.
I'm glad you have new equipment and your cow is getting healthier.

Bring it on! Great videos. So young, so positive!
You and your family are excellent farmers! I love how you are so productive and care a lot for your cows! 👍🏼🐄❤️
Awesome teamwork on plowing the snow
Grabbing sand from those lovely Saskatchewan beaches.
Jan you look so good in the morning sun!
Those red pipe covers on that hammer mill almost made it look like it was a gift wrapped with a bow there for a second.
About the bales, why dont you put the bales on discarted railroad tracks to elevate them from the ground? Then you wont have issues with them freezing to the ground, and it would probably help them to dry easier
Music is mellow and fits right in
Be sure to film using the new roller...can’t wait!
For you scratched up windshield take Ajax cleanser and make a paste out if it. Place it all over the windshield let it set for ten minutes. Takes a wet cloth and clean it off it will take a lot of the scratches out.

Or also known as a stone slinger truck

Beautiful Heifers. Says a lot about breeding and husbandry. Healthy cows 🐄 means more than milk production it means longevity and minimal illnesses

Who won the race, LOL 👍 👍🐄🥛🤠🇨🇦👌
Z gniotownika na srutownik przejście nieźle tylko że wydajność sporo mniejsza
Very well thought out dairy farm. I used to work on a big dairy farm. It was not so nice would like to see how you raise your calf's
Another good video. Love your sense of humour.
If those scratches on your tractor windshield aren't too deep you can buff them out using cerium oxide polishing compound and a buffer wheel.

Do Helfers show any distress being separated from their calf .. I’d think they would be looking and bawling for it.
Some nice looking cattle
So happy to C U Jan

That was a incredible fresh cow.
Can you show the diffence between rolled barley and hammered barley?
You should buy glass polish for that windshield!
Nice video and explanation on the farm, WOW the grain ill motor is huge. Always updates to farming, it seems constant never-ending. but that's life. LOL Hey, I loved you racing your own shadow, did you win the race???
Why did you run the loader back and forward with sand rather than fill a trailer?

Then it's got to be pushed in, sand going every where doing that- so I'd say it's best hes doing it like he is doing??
Cattle have a way of never doing what you want them to do. Why don’t you use either one of your silage trucks or something else to haul,sand instead of hauling one scoop at a time.
my eyes got wide when you drove over the camera xD
Farm keeps you busy!
Also. Where does your sand come from? Is there a river nearby?
I guess you're fortunate to have your own sandpit on the property. There ought to be a way to polish that tractor windscreen a bit.
that is a belter of a t- shirt , is it available in uk
Use to put hobble chains on their legs it hurts when they kick got blasted once or twice
So how is the calf? Born outside in all the dirt! Was it a heifer?
Oh those sunrise shots were beautiful, not particularly the one through your scratched windshield. Jan, your videos are masterful and you even add in the colorful trees that you know we will like.

Awesome Video as Always!!
Well! Finally got to see you almost without a hat!
the farm i helped on we used saw dust
FYI maybe you should put a table under the new motor to smash grains might keep it working longer you know how things go wrong some times..Just saying
Hi what brand maker of that chute that the cow's were in , and the hay trailer what brand maker
Racing your shadow, I'm laughing so hard! Good one man.
what do you do for fun?
If you didn't have your own sand pit, would you still use sand or switch to shavings?
