    Wow, your grass , the long stuff , I haven't had any like that since April. My part of northland itvjust stopped during May. Left us short going into winter and never recovered for calving.
    I'm very envious right now 😂

    Hello place looks great. New fence looks perfect. Fun to watch the new calves getting there milk. Nice job deliver your calf. Milk is going up I hope for a good season. See you then.

    Having to pull a calf isn't the cow's fault if there is a malpresentation . Worth that extra time.

    Those udders look terrific. You might have to go to 2X milking😊.all kidding aside , it is always great to milk fancy cows,with milk dripping makes you look like a great cow manager! Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos.

    l remember my first job as 9 or 10 year was feeding the new calves finger in mouth then into the bucket and my first calf born was a little bull he went on to another herd and won many rosettes

    You're getting to be a big enough channel that you should get on to Tow & Fert for a demo. Foliar feeding might reduce your fert bill and usage.

    Everything is looking really good Andrew calves look in Great nick, cows udders are bursting full and cows look in Great condition and good grass
    I did wonder if you might have a few problems with the cows being in such good condition but half a dozen pulled calves and a couple with slight milk fever is nothing looks like its really paid off being that much ahead of the curve already with the milk solids

    I got to dispute your observation of frost and bone chilling cold. In NY we save that term for winter mornings below 0 degrees F and a 20+ miles per hour wind. Those are the days you are glad you have a barn full of cows tied in their stalls. But most of all you hope the water and everything else isn't froze up.

    great video mate, wish we had 90 cows left to calve, we're not even 1/3 of the way yet, milking a bit over 300 out of 1100

    Andrew , would 2hot strands of wire not be enough for the cows or is there some other reason for the 5/6 strands used

    Always good to save a calf and really better for it to be a heifer. Funny how you dairy guys want heifers and us beef guys want bulls/steers. LOL

    Coshquin rings a bell. Coshquin House, Ireland by any chance?

    • @TheOnceADayFarmer
      @TheOnceADayFarmer  10 месяцев назад

      From what I can gather we were Ulster-scots and moved to NZ around the time of the famine. They had a farm just out of londonderry called Coshquin, which was on Coshquin road which is still there today, there used to be an old farm house but I think it got pulled down at some stage

      @@TheOnceADayFarmer The land there is kind of similar to your place but the weather is a lot worse. One of my distant relatives had a pub in Coshquin in the early 1900's. It's right on the Irish border.

    Enjoyable video :) Do you clean or spray the udders before you milk? Or do you just not show that?
