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
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
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.
Jan heeft de melk die je geeft aan de kaveren hoog colosturm in de eerste dagen/bn has the milk you give the calves high colostrum in the first few days
@@saskdutchkidexactly - a dairy cow makes money by getting milked - not because they’re “bad moms” or it’s too unsafe for the calf - if that were true then beef calves would be raised the same way - thank you for spelling it out plainly
Yea no worries happy I could help you figure out they way to world works! People gotta eat! 💪🏻 animals are not humans and aren’t affected at all the same way when being separated
@@Chigoca Beef cattle and dairy cattle are completely different. When a dairy cow has a new calf you can walk in there and pick it up and walk off with it. The cow doesn't care. If you try that with the beef cow chances are she will stomp you into the ground. They are very protective of their babies. There are some exeptions to the rule but that is the way that most of them are.
It's always nice to see the males feeding the little ones ....it's a handy skill to have!
"Promoted" ....very diplomatic of you Jan....you're a wise young feller 😆👍
Like seeing you with the babies. Good job 👏 that little red and white is a doll.
Your Mom & sister will be enjoying the weather in Vancouver today. It's like 16 sunny. Love the weather here.

Good stuff

Jan, just go to Timmy’s and buy each calf a triple latte. 😎
😊
The calf that dunks it head into the full bucket of milk try putting sponge into bucket works for us

How long do the calfs drink milk ? Knowing me, if I did that job, I would have to pet all of them.❤❤❤
So beautiful and amazing video sharing my friend 👍😁Have good days😃( ͡❛ ᴥ ͡❛) Many greetings!
You are a quick learner boet
atleast you dont have to burp them
😂
One man taking the place of three women. Nothing unusual 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.

Do you MISS Mom and Sisters yet??? 🎉🎉
How do you do it With beast
Why do you tale the babies away from their moms?
It’s a dairy…and Holsteins are not good mamas
How else are you gonna milk them?
