What was the problem on the TYM?

@kingwong8290 2 күн бұрын

How do you tell visually the milk is ok or not ok at the strainer? What are the things that you usually look for?

@balfourfarm 2 күн бұрын

We strip the udders on all cows before milking into a cup that has a fine mesh screen. You can see any problems

100 hp would work better on the roundbaler!

Hopefully you managed to get the hay bailed and wrapped. Amazing how much difference there is between tractors.

Just found your channel, subscribed. Your farm setup is very impressive. Also viewed your tour of the west of Ireland, we are Irish and farming in France, with a KZfaq channel also. Farming life at La Forge. Best of luck with everything. Declan & Emily

That was a great tour. I really enjoyed it. You have a great setup. The cheese making side of the farm is amazing. You seem to get a lot of cheese from the amount of cows you milk. Loved the chicken barn also.

@balfourfarm 4 күн бұрын

Everyone is always surprised by how much cheese can be made by so few cows. They do go to “work” every day though! 😁

Nice milk great sign of advancement from 95 to 290 gallons for baling silage I reckon u need 100 hp tractor Drone is a great machine if a cow was calving in the far field 😂

@balfourfarm 8 күн бұрын

My 75 horsepower tym runs the baler great. I think it might be the way the transmission is geared in the kubota. Not sure.

Once you wrap it you won't see how bad the hay was baled. 🤣The new milk room is looking good. Bet you are happy to see the wall finally closed in.

You’re right it looked much better after I wrapped it!

What county are you from Some dairy farmers don't milk out cows after calving just take enough for calf for a few days

We are located in Maine USA. We milk all fresh cows and feed the colostrum to the calves.

From my experience don't place your bales tight SxS rain gets trapped and rots more...enjoyed the vid. What breed of cattle?

@balfourfarm 13 күн бұрын

You are right about stacking bales. Those are actually just unloaded waiting to be wrapped. We wrap all our hay even dry hay. We don’t wrap our bedding hay though.

Why do you leave the horns on your cattle?

@balfourfarm 13 күн бұрын

This is one of the most asked questions! We have a cow our two that missed being dehorned. The group of heifers where actually dehorned by our vet and almost all of them grew horns.

@dithompson2679 15 күн бұрын

Really love watching the rapport you have with your gals. ❤ I remember my grandfather talking to his dairy cattle as he milked them and how he always shared a tiny bit of the milk with the barn cats. He shared a special bond with all of the farm animals, as you do. Maybe that's partly why I'm so drawn to your videos but I love being able to watch part of your day and remember him.

@dobberaaron6658 15 күн бұрын

What an awesome video I sure do love watching your milking videos I love your farm I wish there was your style of dairy farms here Utah where I live they just have a couple great big ones.

We had a vet dehorn calves one year and over half of them grew horns. There is a cow or two that just missed being dehorned years ago but never cause problems.
