    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @nsgkuaov
    @nsgkuaov 2 года назад +7

    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.

    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?

    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

    • @benjaminbauer4883
      @benjaminbauer4883 2 года назад

      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.

    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!

      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

    • @jofarwell9744
      @jofarwell9744 2 года назад

      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?

    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.

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. 😊

      Oh yes, back in the day unless they were a flatland grain farmer this area was dotted with dairy farms with 50, 80, 100, 150 cow herds whatever the land could produce feed for. Two were fairly large grade A producers for 3 Creameries within a 50 to 70 mile radius. The Grade B and C producers that was just about every other Farm , belonged to a co-op Cheese plant that produced local cheeses for grocery stores. The one in our area took the Overflow from the grade A producer's when the creameries were full. Most of the cheese plants shipped 80,000 lb of cheese weekly to Kraft. Sometimes just about twice that during Peak production seasons. Then when some of the corporate Dairy Industies started charging all kinds of different prices for their product to encourage the government to pass the milk stabilization bill. What used to be a stable income (when small grains were not )for the small Dairies was no longer feasible, a lot of milking parlors and storage tanks sit emptied if they didn't find a different use for them. "like storing corn squeezin's for biofuels". That last sentence was BS just to see if Google is still keeping tabs on me comments. I'm not a fan of The Rich and Powerful that run our government. Sorry seen too much crap in my 70 years. Now they have got robots doing the work of people to feed them. So I guess they thought it was time to start Coviding us out in 20(19).

      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.
