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.
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....
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. RUclips is full of fake inauthentic people. You are a great photographer and have a natural sense for word economy.
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.
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
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.
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 !
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!
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😃
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. 🐂👍🇺🇸
@@henrithelion I can't post a link. For some reason RUclips won't let me paste it in this comment. But if you search for "saskdutchkid robot" it is the second result.
@@henrithelion ruclips.net/video/o3Xtew0BKWI/видео.html Why not 310 Heat monitoring, pregnancy control, identification of cysts Swedish quality👍 but I really like Lelys too
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.
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.
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
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?
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!
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 ?
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. 😊
I guess you have never heard of Halarda Farms near Carman Manitoba where there milk 1200 cows with 20 Lely robots.They also use many more Lely " gadgets" .Why don't you go and make a movie about them ? So we have them here in Canada just as well...
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

Wow! The kid shaved!
The entire layout and design of the place looks fresh af, I love it
Hope you had a great time in California, from the imperial co California.
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.
Thank you for this video, it is very interesting to watch.👍 🐄🐄🐄
Thanks Jan for sharing the operations of a modern dairy and the use of robots in the process. Amazing.🤟🤟
Just fascinating!! Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for doing it all and sharing. We are great full.
Glad you liked it!
What a beautiful farm. Clean and the cows look happy and it’s so quiet.

great video Jan. thank you both
It’s so quiet and they all look so relaxed
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!
Thank you so much 😊

8:00 cows are saying "look at those funny cows!" never seeing a person walk by.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Just impressive,thanks for showing us
That was so interesting thank you Jan
Thanks for wearing the USA cap! You are a gentleman.
Cool , thanks 👍👌
Great video of this dairy farm.
Awesome Video and Much Love From Kentucky, USA 🇺🇸
Hey Jan , your farm is the best !!!
God Bless them. I lived most of my life milking cows, & loved every day of it. Robots may have kept me in it.
Here in Europe you see Lely quite a lot. Great equipment in my opinion. Nice tour and vids Jan. Greetings 🇧🇪

Amazing how quite and content the cows are. That’s the quietest barn I’ve ever seen or heard
A big step forward in the industry
Lely Exos is the next.
This from the 80's
Greetings from Germany with 4 lely robots 😋
Wow technology is absolutely insane 😳 when it works of course

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!
WOW YOU ARE GETTING GOOD VACATION GOOD FOR YOU YOU HAVE EARNED IT
Hahaha yes I really did! Thank you!
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!
Hi Jan,realy intressting to see how those robots are milking all those cows, 720 awesome, never seen that.thanks for the tour.
Amazing 🤩
Neighbor just did 20 DeLaval VMS this winter. So far great.

It’s hoard to imagine that many cows in a single operation. Love all the robotics they use. Thank you Jan
Very impressive set up! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Good morning
I think the robot milkers are the way to go, saves a LOT of labor if you can afford them.
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.
Jan, thanks for the video. No headlocks in the stable. And very relaxed cows it seems. Genetics maybe?

Are the robots noisy Davee ?
My parents are on a dairy farm in Ireland
They are getting old but farmhouse is next to farmyard

I assume Bryan is a dairy farmer also? Thanks for the tour.
Great video!
Thank you John!

He already did a video on a farm where they had those.
