Thanks for sharing some of the intricacies of the milk taxi. 👍 I’m 78 and miss the cattle. Crazy, but I loved seeing the calves wet little whiskers and nothing beats those ‘happy tails!’
Jan with your kind and gentle personality the calves will enjoy your caring for them while your Mom and sisters are away. That calf that put its head down into the milk was really funny. You sure have a nice group of calves on the farm and a great system to feed them. Great video and thanks till the next one.
Hey Jan I’d didn’t really know who you were until you started coming to dairy meetings. I’ve been watching your videos and think it’s great what you’re doing for the dairy community!
Almost that warm here in Saskatchewan. An unusually warm fall. I'd rather spend sunny cold winters in Saskatchewan. Then in the cloudy rainey winters of the BC coast; 4 on the Sunshine coast was enough me
Very interesting video enjoyed seeing the Cavs get their milk you are very talented making these videos can be hard work you do a good video you make very interesting videos
15:25 I posted a comment about this same problem in one of your sister's videos. Try a washable wedge training puck for the bottom of the pail. It could be proportioned so the calf's snout couldn't easily get far enough into the pail to let them aspirate the milk. Thick side towards the chin at first. If there's too much being left behind, rotate the other way and experiment. Consider the ongoing training time saved and the lower risk of pneumonia from aspiration. Hope that makes sense. Just an idea.
Boy I am jealous of you. I used to go to this non-profits farm in New Jersey when they had cows, chickens and pigs and I loved to wake up at 6am and take care of them all by myself. They no longer have those animals and went with sheep and alpacasas now
Any cow that has been sick and was given medicine -- their milk can't go for human consumption -- so that goes to the pasteurizer for the calves. With 350 milking cows, there's always some like that. And they can always get some more from the milk tank if needed.
@@daveklein2826 I know they have enough milk what I was talking about was like in that one batch.... Do they ever run out and have to go make a new batch????
Jan, maybe a weird question but why dont you guys ever let the cows out on pasture so you dont have to make as much feed for spring/summer? Ive seen saskdairy do it and since he operates in the same location as you guys are I was wondering what the thought behind this is.
The calves dunking there face in the bucket is exactly why we used the titer cafeterias didnt have to worry about them shoving their whole face in there
How do you stop calves from dunking their nose into milk bucket? ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Calves tend to dunk their noses into milk buckets due to their natural suckling reflex. Here are a few methods to help stop this behavior: Use a Calf Nipple Feeder: Instead of open buckets, use a calf feeder with a nipple attachment. This mimics natural suckling and reduces the chances of nose dunking. Adjust the Bucket Height: Place the bucket at a height that makes it more comfortable for the calf to drink without dunking its nose. Typically, the bucket should be at the calf’s shoulder level to encourage proper drinking posture. Train the Calves: With time, calves can be trained to drink from buckets properly. Start with smaller amounts of milk and allow them to get accustomed to the bucket. Gradually, they will become less likely to dunk their nose. Smaller Bucket Opening: Choose a bucket with a smaller opening to limit how much the calf can put its head into the milk. Supervise Feeding: In the initial stages, closely supervise the calves while they drink to gently correct any nose-dunking behavior. Gradual Transition: If the calves are used to bottle feeding, transitioning them slowly to bucket feeding can help avoid the issue. They may be dunking their noses out of confusion or eagerness. Implementing these techniques should help reduce or stop the dunking behavior.

Yes i did enjoy watching. Thanks
Jon.
Thank you for the calf feeding walk alone video. That video was cool to see that side of your farm work. 👍👀
Please take care.
Richard
Feeding calves = feeding the future of the farm. So important. And the feeder checks their health and informs someone who can help them.
Thanks for taking us along, beautiful calf’s
OMG was that cute. It must have been a treat for you Jan
Beautiful little red calf!
I think the nearly all-white one at 9:40 #239 is pretty, too.
Loved loved watching you taking care of the babies. You made it very entertaining. Thanks😊 🐄🐄🐄
Love seeing the calves. You took a little more time with them which was great!
Very impressive calf barns

Your Mom & sister will be enjoying the weather in Vancouver today. It's like 16 sunny. Love the weather here.

This answered some questions! Thanks.
Good job on the calf feeding. That one wanted to say hi when it came almost through the calf pen😂😂
At 2:20, isn´t it good, to have a whisperer near you? 😂
Love the calf shed ❤🇳🇿
Wow, all those 'ladies' sure were happy to see you!!!
Just so you know you have a new fan, my 10 month old thinks your animal videos are fascinating.
Thanks for sharing
Very clean looks nice.
Good job Daddy!
I love the calves and their milk faces! They are so curious about the world 😊

The little red and white heifer is really a beautiful looking animal ❤
So gorgeous

Babies are so joyous
Really like your videos
You're a good Husbander. You should take more of those shifts, the appear to be good for you. Enjoyed the video.
Thats a lot of extra work to do everyday. You'll definitely appreciate your mom and sisters help even more now, huh!
great job!!
Not your regular work when you're at your folks farm working but you see, you still got it. 🐄
Love the baby cows and their eyelashes
Loved this video, enjoy seeing all the calves. Overnight you became dad and nanny to all the babies 😂
Nice video Yan , a little detail of milk heat treatment after the cows get milked
I love how they left you sticky notes on everything!😂❤
You did good
Enjoyed the babies.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Serving a cutie sure is calf duty calves r vry healthy vry caringly nursed & fed
Good video.
Jan I'd give you an A plus on filling in for the professional feeders
Good job
cute little buggers
After hauling bales, doing lap after lap I bet you really enjoyed that.
You seem to be getting it down and actually enjoying it
Congrats on your promotion!
Love the sticky notes….
Good job Jan!! When will the calf barn be closed in?
Good stuff
love waching the babys
nice informational video!
Congrats on the promotion.
Thank you!
The girls have the best job ever feeding the calves
Great video brother from the imperial county ca 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Boy you have a lot of babies!!!❤️❤️❤️ Do you ever run out of milk to feed them all???
No because it comes from the cow herd
Any cow that has been sick and was given medicine -- their milk can't go for human consumption -- so that goes to the pasteurizer for the calves. With 350 milking cows, there's always some like that. And they can always get some more from the milk tank if needed.
@@timothymbonham4453 I know they have enough milk

14:44 Chuggie!
Good job , a new challenge, congratulations , stay safe , enjoy !
i can almost hear neline laughing
I'll bet when you're mom and sisters get home you will love and appreciate them a little bit more
nothing beats OJT!
Jan, just go to Timmy’s and buy each calf a triple latte. 😎
Are they going to have the addition done before it gets cold?
👍👍❤🐮
The calves like doing a dunk a moo 😂😅
Jan, maybe a weird question but why dont you guys ever let the cows out on pasture so you dont have to make as much feed for spring/summer? Ive seen saskdairy do it and since he operates in the same location as you guys are I was wondering what the thought behind this is.
I see the post-it notes in the attempt to make it “Jan proof “ 😂
How long do you keep the steers? Thanks.
They fully raise them to finish weight (About 17 months) and sell them for beef.
Just another day at the Kielstra Hotel.
The calves dunking there face in the bucket is exactly why we used the titer cafeterias didnt have to worry about them shoving their whole face in there
❤❤❤❤❤❤
How many gallons did it take to feed all of them? Or how many liters if you prefer?
70 ish
@@saskdutchkid 70 litres or gallons?
@@saskdutchkid
Thanks! I am assuming you mean liters.
@@formulaenergy2474
I don't believe that that tank was bigger than a 55 gallon drum, So it must have been liters.
Do you wash the milk buckets after the calves have drunk there milk and do you give those little calves water as they are having pellets ??
😊
Do you clean all the buckets before giving them fresh water?
Jan .. When do you start your calves on water ?
They wean them after about 8 weeks.
More training, means you can't get fired. A valued employee.
Well Mom & sisters will be proud you didn’t bugger anything up. I
No water for the bigger bucket calves?
