  • Today the bulls are out of here, thank goodness! I have some cull cows going with them so will make it easier to get them on the truck....I hope.
    The angry fella almost run me over coming back out of the truck again.
    New upgrades mean we are edging closer and closer to being ready to extend the milking shed

    Love your vids but the handler had no need to prong the cow. Never understood shocking the last one as they can only go as fast as those in front. Have a word

      Yep I know what you mean, however he didn’t actually shock it, he was using as more of a stick (I watched it a couple of times as I knew someone might pick it up).
      He’s an excellent stock man, he’s transported a lot of my stock and he’s honestly one of the best, takes his time and is patient.
      I don’t like the prodder too much, but it’s handy at times.

    Here in Queensland Australia, we milked 280 plus twice a day,( with a further 30 or so springers) with a double pulsating system. But only had 8 bails.
    So it took a few hours to get them all through. But LOVED it. ( the best childhood, growing up on a dairy farm)

    I think you should consider the new parlour with the cows exiting front out
    That way the cows exit much more quickly saving a load of time

    • @TheOnceADayFarmer
      @TheOnceADayFarmer  7 месяцев назад

      Would be nice, but to do that you need a really wide shed to have the room and we don’t.
      If we were going brand new it’s something to consider, but it’s also another thing that can break, gates are pretty simple 🤷

    Yes im feeling another payrisr from fonterra sometime in late january early February.
    Just went through me emails.
    Last 9 auctions going back to mid august 6 were up, 2 down and 1 unchanged.
    Whole milk powder was $ 2548 in mid August, now $3207 a 25.9% increase since August 15th.
    So hopefully steady increases even at 1-3% over january 😊😊
    And I want another 50 cents 😅

      Usually carry 20-25% replacements so have to make room for them every year.

    • @TheOnceADayFarmer
      @TheOnceADayFarmer  7 месяцев назад +2

      That’s the mis conception, if I were to milk them TAD I wouldn’t necessarily do any more production, and then they would be walking more so more lameness, heat stress and repro rates would probably get a bit worse.
      I don’t want to milk TAD, and we are farming a system that works, jerseys do adapt to OAD pretty well.
      We are actually doing more now than dad was milking 2x, all though we are feeding more so hard to compare.
      Great point though and one to make a video about 👌👍

      I am the same with horses and crops or spurs there is just no need to have them as horses also respond to other aids.. even my sheep come running for what is essentially an almost empty bag of sheep pellets because they get used to the sound of the bag..
