Your young cousins were amazing. You are giving them memories of being on your dairy farm that will last for their lifetimes. And that is very, very good thing! Your plans for next year’s forage crops sound good too! Don’t forget to give you little cousins some ice cream treats during their visit. Be blessed! 😊👍

Tell your cousins they can only be in the video if they do some work on the farm (like Andrew). They would have had fun cutting back that ag bag and pulling off the removed plastic part.

I'm not familiar with silage, but isn't there a lot of starch & other sugars & nutrients in that juice running across the driveway??? I know it's impossible to keep inside the bag out on the dirt like that..just seems like you'ld like to keep that in the feed somehow?

I see an amazing trend in most of the farm channels, particularly this one. If something happens not according to plan there is never any panic. Just figure out a solution, fix it, and move on. Take it in stride. Good lessons for everyone to learn. There is so much knowledge and expertise, and willingness to learn new things. Inspirational.

The comment about running low on feed reminded me of a factoid I read about somewhere. In historic times of feast and famine the famine didn't occur in the middle of winter as is often portrayed in fiction (usually). Famine mostly occurred in mid to late summer before the next crop could be harvested.

Customer of mine had problems where one set of headlocks rotted out, while the other one had no problems. They figured out what the problem was. Electric fence was grounded to the pipe that they had the locks welded to, it was at the very end. Stray voltage (although very slight), cause an electrolytic reaction. This reaction pushes the metal ions out of the metal and onto the surface. Whenever any moisture collects on the surface the metal ions are water soluble and carry it away. Hence that's why everything is rotted together. It works on most of metals especially aluminum.

It's always good to see you folks take an interest in farming, young kids like your cousins too. I like the hoof trimming station you all picked up, I had a cow that we had to have her back hooves trimmed. I was cutting hay today so I could get some more hay to feed my cows, the early summer cut was less than half of normal, hopefully we can get enough to last the winter. Hope you can get yours in more supply with your plans. Thanks and have a good day!

So if you want to learn how to do your own hoof, trimming and maintenance, I recommend go look at the hoof GP here on KZfaq. He has his own website that teaches you how to trim and maintain cow hooves that might be a resource you wanna look at and if and when you decide to build a new free stall barn You may wish to go with an outside manure pit and go with a flush style alleyway cleaner. Basically it’s like a giant toilet that pushes all the manure to one side and let all the material settle out and you can reuse the water hundreds of times and then just do solid manure spreading , and then, when you think the concentration in the liquid is high enough, you can move all the old route liquid manure out of your storage tank would you use for the flush a lot less moving parts, and it keeps the alleyways a lot cleaner

@r.scotthill30828 ай бұрын
You have been very fortunate. First that the fresh corn silage has not upset your cows and even more that production has held up. Second that your able to obtain parts to repair your self locks. Very often the manufacturer changes the style they produce and old parts are available. Those rods were really shot. They just cut like butter. I am anxious to see how changing your cropping system to provide more feed works out.
@Mad_Farmer9128 ай бұрын
Probably running those mister was the biggest thing to shortening the rod life. Gotta do what is needed for cow comfort.

Hi Eric, the word maintenance is a wildly used term by farmers. Nothing is made to last these days and your family do a great job keeping on top of what needs to be done plus the unexpected repairs. The hoof trimming unit will be good to have for a quick check on any cow that may be limping. Always looking out for your cows health as usual. Thanks for the video. Chris from Australia 🇦🇺.

Trimmed with my dad for years. In a very similar shoot. Use the belly strap every time. Extracting a down cow from them does a lot of damage to the cow and takes forever. Even if you aren't working back feet hook the side you are working put a little tension on it. Save you from getting kicked when working up front. Take a class or two you can do a lot of damage making it way worse than before.

40 years ago i used a good trimming rack similar to the model you just purchased. Your model is better built, heavier built. Having your hoof trimmer coming once a month is great but there are times you likely need intervention between trim dates. I enjoy The Hoof GP on You Tube but not sure i could do it some of the deep dermatitis trims he handles.

Eeet are easy to do except on the human back. Some big crunchers, a couple of good quality sharp foot knives and a chain mail glove to stop the accidental nicks to the hand. Tip, look between the claws 1st for anything lodged or wounds...thats the easiest and quickest to deal with. Your cows are use to the angle grinder so add the appropriate head for it into the mix
@christianterrill35038 ай бұрын
Running a dairy farm is for sure the hardest type of farming there is. The farm never get a day off the cows need to be milked 2 times a day at least. Every other farm has a season and they dont do much out side of their seasons. Dairy farms never get a season their season is 24/7 365. As a fan of dairy products and milk I think you and your fellow dairy farmers.

You know, when you were taking the rods out of the top of the headlocks you all were wearing earplugs of some kind. This made me think, if cows had to have hearing protection, what would the design of the earmuffs be? Would they be over-the-ear or would it be like earplugs? Keep doing what you do best and if your subscribers somehow pick cows for you to pet, I bet they would! Much Love!
