Congrats on the 50K Jan, you are really a talented vlogger, make your camera angles great and fun (cow's are So nosey lol! I had to laugh when those girls immediately saw that weird thing on the ground and directly came over and put their sandpaper tongues all over it hehe 😁 Keep on going and I absolutely think that you will get way more followers! (I hope at least a 0 extra after that 50!! ) Have a great weekend!
Love how the cows are so curious and know that's something new sitting over there - lets give it a taste! Slurpslurp mmmmm! Nice to see a daily perspective- lots of hard work, worthwhile job. Thanks for sharing your day!
That is an absolutely superb account of a day in the life of a dairy farmer. That must be an award winning set up you have there. I’m sure a large number of dairy farmers would be quite envious of such a well designed, well organised set up. Not envious however, of the cost of doing it. You’ve made a great investment and I’m sure it will pay off. It really is an exemplar, as are you young man. Keep up the great work.
Great Video!! I think it’s hilarious when the girls mess with the camera 😂. Most ppl wouldn’t know what to do if they had to start work at 4am. Your work ethic is awesome, you should be proud.
I love these videos - thank you so much for sharing your day with us. Our neighbors growing up had 500 holsteins and 6 daughters to help him. We had beef cattle. They were THE hardest working girls. So strong too. We would have hay bale throwing contests and they always won.
Congratulations on 51 + thousand subscribers. I can hardly wait for Saturday morning to come and with it another adventure on your Farm. I love it all. Thanks so much.
The only problem with that superb shot of the top of the barn, and I apologise in advance for suggesting there’s a problem with it because it looked beautiful. But, some numpty might look at the moisture and think methane / CO2 global warming or some such other opportunistic b*****it.
I sure think differently when I pour out my Canadian milk on my cereal after watching your farm videos. So appreciate the cream in my tea as well. Farmers feed cities just can't be said often enough!
Great video. Always wondered what your schedule was. Have you thought doing a Q & A video. You ask subscribers to post questions on your Instagram page. You choose the ones you want to answer and answer them on your you tube channel. Just a suggestion. My question would be when did you decide to go into farming and why. Just read that the average age of farmers is 57, so your in the minority.
Oh how I miss the cows. Loved milking, one at a time, with a Surge bucket hung on a strap over cow's back. My primary job was to teach the calves to drink from a pail. Took less time than either father or brother. Cows are my favorite animal. I will definitely keep watching and I always look forward to seeing a new one. Farming never gets old nor boring.
Awesome footage of the farm the work is so awesome y’all do much appreciated for all videos and taking time out of your busy day man thanks also drone footage sweet
Great video thanks for all the. Work you do to get these videos online, do you have your own water wells for the dairy or are you buying water from somewhere?
I work on a dairy farm in NB with a 32 stall deck rotary! Its interesting seeing the differences in everything done on the farm! Like mixing feed, feeding calves and just everyday routines!
Great video, content and photography top notch, as usual. That's what I was doing until the early 90's, when my back got too bad & I had to stop farming. Take Care & keep up your fantabulous videos.
Same one that turned right into the special needs pen. Once you find and treat an issue with a cows foot, it doesn’t heal instantly. Rest assured that this young man has these issues in hand.
Two weekends off every month... that's pretty good. JUst kidding, as I am amazed at the among of work in your day that is done so energetically, with a positive attitude and a great smile. Great drone views at the end. 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄
Awesome stuff yet again Jan!!!!!! "No rest or the wicked" as they say ….. well not as long as you are involved in the Dairy Industry anyways......busy schedule and still no footage or mention of calf rearing I see so taking it for granted your work alternates there too!! Congratulations as has been said already on the 50k subs!! Fantastic achievement and so well deserved!!!!!!!!!
Always enjoyable, keep up the good work. One of many tings I like more about the American dairy farmers is how clean they keep the farms. Better than my uk farms.
I know this is an old video and you may not see this question.....but right at 0:58 you had a cow walking very gingerly with her back legs all splayed out....does she have an issue with her udders that she's sore back there or is it just from being 'full' ? Just wondering what that was all about, I'm pretty sure if there was an issue it's been taken care of, just curious !
That is how we our feeding after feeding the first time then fill feed salvage up again for next round of feeding saves a lot of time. Congratulation on getting 50 k Jan that is pretty awesome maybe we could get it up more to help out.
You are one hard working knowledgeable dude. You would be at the top of any list for preferred hired should you ever decide to try something else. Not that you would ever walk away from farming. Enjoy the videos.
some time can you show us you back up power systems for the milk room and farm some one told me you cant stop milking so if the powers out what do you do thanks
Strange to hear a dairy farmer not using the two words dung and slurry - which are major components of the work day lol. In Scotland when we say spreading manure , we stress the first syllable , and we are referring to compound fertiliser - the kind that used to come in a plastic bag.
Thanks for the video. I look forward to them when they come out. I thought it was so cool that they know where they are supposed to return to after milking. How much do your cows use the brush? I saw a couple using it in the video. Please do a video on your life outside of work if you don't mind. Thanks!
Know the feeling about early mornings and great looking unit. but keep going lad.best wishes from west wales 🏴 uk. What’s the weather like there now.and at 4 am the sunrise seems so for away this time of year.
Jan you are so very dedicated to your work, amazing work ethic! Every other weekend off, do you have a social life? Over 50000 subscribers, that’s great, obviously because you have the best farm related video
All the hard work you do is appreciated. You treat your cows well and take care of business keeping the farm running. Being a simple armchair farmer (I'm a city boy so I'm really not even that). Question for a future live video question and answer: wondering about manure management and if you had considered building the manure pit under the barn while you were building with slats that allow the poop and piss to drop down by its self as 10th generation's (another RUclips channel) barn was setup. I'm guessing the money went elsewhere or your winters are too cold for such a design but during a recent live chat with them they explained by having the pit under the barn they didn't have as much rain water to deal with as an open pit would and it seemed like the floors were cleaner even before being scraped. Being cost prohibitive to add now that the barn is built, if you added another barn would you consider adding a manure pit under the building?
Always enjoy your videos I'm from Texas have a question is this your family farm or do you just work there I'm sure you poppy said it but I got a brain free than just forgot And thanks again enjoy the videos fill can see how you can handle that cold weather up there but ya do it
Sounds like you are baking high fibre cookies. It's a huge mixing bowl of ingredients adjusted for their needs. That's a smart caring farm you are running. Do you change the recipe when season's change?
What fun to watch your videos , entertaining that is. Maybe on a future video you can take a minute to explain who does your hoof trimming ? Thanks. 😀👍🏾🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄
Enjoyed your video you explain things well for the ones that don't know what going on. How many times a day do you milk just 2 ? I love that drone shot of the diary farm on a cold day, as it shows as if it is a big City factory with the hot air, or heat hitting the cold winter weather outside. When it warms up do you scrape the cement down along the bunkline so it isn't so hard on the cows feet. We always did that when we had cattle and always kept the cement clean on our sow yards because you never knew when you can do it again. How many groups do you milk 3, and how many are in a group. Our local diary milks 3x a day and runs it straight into the tankers outside. The cheese plant is like 5.5 miles from the diary and they have around 5000 to 5,500 that they milk 3x /day and they have another diary around 10 to 12 miles away. Does your mechanic keep batteries and alternators on hand for breakdowns. That water leak looked like a easy fix. I always had spare plastic parts around as I would buy 6 of everything. In my cases they only broke at night and on weekends lol !
How much water do you add per mix. Do moisture test the end result of the mix. And do you try for 5lbs a day per head of long stemmed hay. Thank you for the video update eh . I could watch your videos every day ...
There are ball values out there that dont split when frozen. Just a thought of replacing any that split with one that doesn't split. The ones that have split will probably do it again as they are in a more vulnerable position ie close to outside wall and no continuous water flow. Wrapping the line may help also if long tongues can't get at it
Cool. I always figured you dairy guys just cleaned off teats, then milk-squirted the resident cats in their faces. Looks like there is a bit more involved than I thunk 😬
Another more general question what happens if all of your family needs to be away from the farm for a few days, who takes care of the cows? Regular Hired hands or are there companies that provide the services of milking and feeding while your away (rent a crew)? If not I wonder is someone should think of starting such a service. Having watched a neighbor milk for a small farm while the farmer was on vacation I can see the cows might have a problem (scared) with strangers trying to milk them, so maybe the service of rental crews wouldn't work.
Gets the powdery grain to stick to the forages which keeps the cows from sorting out and over eating grain. Over eating grain will cause rumen problems and digestive illness

Yes same here. Jan takes perfect shots everytime.
@@russellgalvin8407 He should do a serenity video of an hour long with just music and drone shots around the farm
@@michbostn that would be awesome to watch

Always something to do on the farm! Very talented young man. I really enjoy seeing those ladies getting taken care of.
First class operation all the way. Thanks for taking us along for the day.
Your Videos never get boring! Keep on going your good work. Thank you 😘

@@saskdutchkid where are y'all from . Awesome farm video's you have .
That's a very nice farm as seen from the drone! The fog from the vents in winter looks pretty cool.

I will definitely keep watching and I always look forward to seeing a new one. Farming never gets old nor boring.
Blee Faulkner I remember the “surge” milking days and having to wash all the equipment by hand. Those were the days.
Don't you realise that that is cruel???
Awesome footage of the farm the work is so awesome y’all do much appreciated for all videos and taking time out of your busy day man thanks also drone footage sweet

Hi Jan, you have a very good descriptive way in explaining what you do on your dairy farm. Cheers Jeanluc Capri.
Great video. Interesting the long hours you put in with that milking schedule, plus feeding and all the other things you get done. Thanks!
Great video, content and photography top notch, as usual. That's what I was doing until the early 90's, when my back got too bad & I had to stop farming. Take Care & keep up your fantabulous videos.
Hey.... @ :58 in the video.... look at that cow struggling to walk.
Same one that turned right into the special needs pen. Once you find and treat an issue with a cows foot, it doesn’t heal instantly. Rest assured that this young man has these issues in hand.
next time put a 0 in front of the colon so it auto-links
Yep! She's got a hoof problem we've been working with! She seems to be getting better!

Great video as usual Jan. Always great to see the drone shots.
Where do you live in saskatswan
(I was dis sumer working in outlook on a farm for 3,5 monds in come from the nederlands)
I enjoy your videos. Love seeing the farm and cows also when you are havesting. Nice to see how other farmers do the work.
Awesome stuff yet again Jan!!!!!!
"No rest or the wicked" as they say ….. well not as long as you are involved in the Dairy Industry anyways......busy schedule and still no footage or mention of calf rearing I see so taking it for granted your work alternates there too!! Congratulations as has been said already on the 50k subs!! Fantastic achievement and so well deserved!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
Always enjoyable, keep up the good work. One of many tings I like more about the American dairy farmers is how clean they keep the farms. Better than my uk farms.
He’s Canadian not American.
@Albadon progressive Ag A felllow UK'er
Thanks again. Always so interesting to see your dairy routines and adventures. :)
Why do you use the rake to scrap the sleeping area after you have scraped the alley rather than before?
Another great video. Did you consider automatic milkers when you were building the new parlor?
Good evening. What kind of black powder do you pour for cows?
Great video Jan just curious why you didn't put in alley scraper in your barn when you built it. We have a 170 cow dairy here in manitoba.
Thank you sir! I’m enjoying some milk in my coffee this morning before I go feed calves. Nice day down in southern sask.
I know this is an old video and you may not see this question.....but right at 0:58 you had a cow walking very gingerly with her back legs all splayed out....does she have an issue with her udders that she's sore back there or is it just from being 'full' ? Just wondering what that was all about, I'm pretty sure if there was an issue it's been taken care of, just curious !
Jan the drone video is really a nice feature of your operation, diary farming is a young mans career.
Awesome video, Good hard worker. I sure don't miss these early morning milkings.
Wow, what a day. Your one amazing young man. Thanks for all you do.
Great video as always, love your work ethic, and so glad to see I am not the only one grabbing a quick afternoon nap :)
Keep up the Great Hard Work, Much Love From Lawrenceburg, KY USA!!!
Great job on the vids.. I bet that skid steer smells nice... LOL I love cows and have had dairy cows ,.. I em enjoying the ride along..
Nice looking barn!!
That's gotta be the cleanest parlor I've ever seen!!!! All the other ones I've seen. Are a mess everywhere have brick flooring that is cracked
Sweet stuff, thanks for all the effort to post the vid, great show..
Thanks!!
No snow here yet, I was surprised that you had snow on the ground already.
Two questions Jan, roughly how many hours a week do you work and also with the fans running how is the smell in the barn. Just curious.
Busy Busy day boy you need a nap alot of work good job
Are those fans/air ducts on top of the barn to help pull air through?
Great as usual. Question: do the cows tend to bed in the same stall each day? Are they territorial or sorta OCD that way? Thanks!
That is how we our feeding after feeding the first time then fill feed salvage up again for next round of feeding saves a lot of time. Congratulation on getting 50 k Jan that is pretty awesome maybe we could get it up more to help out.
That last water scene cascading down the ramp was worse than the blood out of the elevators in The Shining!
You are one hard working knowledgeable dude. You would be at the top of any list for preferred hired should you ever decide to try something else. Not that you would ever walk away from farming. Enjoy the videos.
Good work - as always, Dutchy!
some time can you show us you back up power systems for the milk room and farm some one told me you cant stop milking so if the powers out what do you do thanks
Lots of hard work and dedication. There are so many small details that will cause big problems is not delt with.
A dairy farmer's work is never done , interesting upload
Thanks!!
@@saskdutchkid you're a credit to your profession AND your generation! Thank you.💞👏👏
Good video and awesome drone footage ! Stay safe . Daniel from central Mississippi
I love how those first couple of cows head straight to the camera!
Strange to hear a dairy farmer not using the two words dung and slurry - which are major components of the work day lol. In Scotland when we say spreading manure , we stress the first syllable , and we are referring to compound fertiliser - the kind that used to come in a plastic bag.
I liked watching the water flow over the floor at the end.
Thanks for the video. I look forward to them when they come out. I thought it was so cool that they know where they are supposed to return to after milking. How much do your cows use the brush? I saw a couple using it in the video. Please do a video on your life outside of work if you don't mind. Thanks!
What is the water for in your feed rations?
Your factory is on another level. Superb
Another great video thanks for showing us your daily routine
do u use a mike?

Of course the cows just had to take a selfie. They are such curious animals.
Haha yep! As soon as they notice something new they have to go and see what it is
Just makes is more sad how they are kept...

Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
haha yup shes all fixed up now though!
Poor skid steer needs a bath.lol
Slotted floors would help you guys out tremendously!
Always a great Saturday morning when you can wake up and watch a new video Sask Dutch Kid
Why do you put water in your feed mix??
Gets the powdery grain to stick to the forages which keeps the cows from sorting out and over eating grain. Over eating grain will cause rumen problems and digestive illness
When you get a decent amount of snow you should do some snowplowing videos.
What mowers do you have
Are the alleys in your barns not grooved?
Another great video Jan! Do the cows get milked 2 or 3 times a day?
Marty Darling : twice
Why scrape beds after u clean Ally ways? Backwards ?
Thank you sir for sharing your day. Have a good weekend
