Hi Carl I am a young kid who watches a fair bit of dairy farming and chainsaw content on RUclips. I would say and I also work on a dairy farm and have been for the past eight months. I’ve been doing part-time work kind of thing and I really do enjoy it, but I don’t see myself career a dairy farmer I’m thinking of being an arborist. which I have done a chainsaw work on my uncles farm where I work I do still enjoy it and it’s been my part-time job for several months now and I do turn 16 tomorrow so what do you think? Do you think I should continue to work at my stereo farm as well until I get like a full-time job, tree service company or what And keep in mind I am from northern Victoria Australia. Thanks Joshua have a great day 😀👌
Hey mate. It’s all up to. As much as I could say stay farming you miss an opportunity with becoming an arborist. Or I say become an arborist and you miss a chance at a great farm job. Your young mate and dairy farming is one of those buckles in your belt that you can always come back too. You’re young and by the sounds a bright future. Go with what you want to. Arborist is definitely a young man’s game though. Dairy farming is all ages. You don’t tend to see many arborists above the age of 40. Thanks Joshua great comment. Hopefully food for thought for you.
If their on meal an grass why would you still give milk replacer they need to be weaned cut the milk out once they on meal should be water you buying milk replacer can get expensive an your basically wasting it because the calves don’t need it anymore
Hey mate. Deferent farms have different systems. We just prefer to feed the calves till they’re 6-8 weeks then wean them off. Regardless of how much they eat until that age. After that age once there eating 1kg of meal per calf we wean them Off. I know a few farmers that wait till the calves are over 100kg. Regardless of age or how much the calf is eating.
