Thankfully they just get fed once a day! When we start to feed barley we really have to make sure nobody gets too much. Don’t work too hard today friend! 🎄❤️

This truck is huge and part of a museum. It is way bigger than my house for sure.

We were having a little fun. It’s actually a decommissioned coal mining truck. Our subscribers know how much trouble we’ve had with our bale truck. You can haul bales in anything really.

I was operating one of these beasts straight out of highschool.

@ nice , what’s the fuel consumption? Like 50 liters an hour ? I assumed it’s a diesel electric so I’d be a constant with the generator running to power electric motors or a hydraulic propelled ?

@ id love to be the driver in these 4K hp monsters , lol hell if I had the money I would just build a house in one of these as a “doomsday shelter “

That’s very cool! 🙌

That’s awesome! I’m very jealous.

Awesome info! It’s always been a favourite stop on our way into BC. I can pretty much use yearly photos as height markers for our kids. Take care.

Interesting facts. That hauler is incredible. I live in London ont. I think General dynamics has that facility now. Building light armored vehicles.

@@picnic9185 it sure is!! We have friends and family that work as mechanics in a couple of the operations there.

@@FalloutboyCAN that’s cool. They are huge for sure.

I've seen trucks this size or bigger on mines here in South Africa and their size always blows my mind. Out of interest how is the tyre mounted to the rim? With a press?

@DanielDavis-h6s we are cowboys haha, I had a 7 ton knuckle picker and would essentially lather the rim in tire grease and it would slide on like a charm with the knuckles boom, they are multi piece rims so that made it alot easier. Chain the flange and snapring on the top and leave it on until you get about a quarter ways then you can take off the chain without worry of that heavy metal falling on you haha

@@FalloutboyCAN damn bro! Must have been tough work. How did you get into the business? I am a diesel mechanic and I own a shop. I bought a truck tyre changer this year which I thought was a pretty big piece of equipment but now it's feeling pretty small 🤣

@DanielDavis-h6s haha honestly it's a long story that involves me in highschool applying for a simple passenger tire tech job, breaking my collarbone at the skatepark on my first day, getting fired, and then they came back because no one wants to touch tires haha. It's been a year since I've worked on them, but I'm getting back into my service truck in January, I thought i hated tires. Turns out I'm one of those rare fellas that misses it 🤣

Me too! Hope you are well.

I wish we had fresh grass year round Gwen! There are producers here that only feed hay, not that many though. They usually don’t have crop land to grow grains. It’s hard to keep weight up on cattle without feeding them grain when it gets cold here. Merry Christmas to you guys. 🎄❤️

We love stopping to visit this truck.

Last week was interesting with the weather changes! Take care.🌺

Thanks so much Nelson! Now it’s above freezing and ice everywhere…..😝 Glen and I need to catch up here. Thanks for watching!

Right!! Coal mining operations have some big vehicles.

It is! It’s a retired Titan coal mining truck.

@TheCowEmporium I have never seem a tandem one of those!! Very cool 👌🏻😁

It's in sparwood bc

Hahaha! Indeed.

You would have to name it Mr Grinch lol

It’s an amazing truck!

They are pretty incredible, aren’t they?

@ massive and powerful!

I wish!! 😅

@@TheCowEmporium no kidding!

Thank you, you too! 🌺❤️

No kidding!! 🤣

Thank you! 🌺

Haha! It’s true. 😅

Thanks Jen! 🌺

@TheCowEmporium welcome!

Thanks so much for stopping by Tammy!! Appreciate you. 🌺🥰

Thanks so much Tammy! 🌺🥰

Heya Josiebel! Thanks for stopping by. 🥰 We didn’t have enough rain in 22 and 23 to make hay. We were so thankful for rain this year!! 🙏 Take care lovely.

Thanks Lisa! Time seems to be flying faster than ever right now. No heifers for calving! Can you believe it? Glen said that’s never happened here. Next year though…. Oh boy. 😂 Important to keep up on animal health! Take care friend. 🌺

Heya lovely! 🌺

Heya Jen! A basic dry feed requirement for cows is about 26 pounds of hay a day. Cows will voluntarily eat 2.5 % of their body weight in feed each day. So say your cows are 1200 pounds and you need to feed them for 200 days before summer pasture is ready if you have it ( because we live in Canada and winter is forever…😆) If your bales are 1200 pounds it looks like you need about 60 hay bales for 10 cows for a winter season. Or if you are thinking small square bales each cow would likely eat one per day. That doesn’t take into account waste that happens so I’d plan on more feed than that even. Happy Monday! Take care. 🌺

@@TheCowEmporium thank you for the info. The small square bales aren't really a common thing here, so we'd be looking at the big rounders. Yes, winter seems like forever. I watched a video of seed starting this morning from a Canadian channel and I was about ready to either throw up, cry or both. I'm not ready to even think about it yet! Happy Monday!

Heya!! This week is going to be cold then we warm up for a bit just before Christmas. Take care. 🌺

Thank you! 🌺

Thanks Rick! The hay is such a relief. The weather needs to get back on its schedule. We should be in a rain season now. 🙏🤞 Take care. 🌺

These are cold days working outside right now for sure. Not as cold as we will experience to come this winter but thankfully we don’t have any processing days left now until spring time. Take care! 🥰🌺

Thank you! Those cows are fighting to see who is in charge. They are likely lead cows. Take care. 🌺🥰

Oh geez. Stay warm and take care. 🌺

Foggy mornings at home are the best. The frosty trees we’ve had this year have been stunning!

Heya lovely! We applied Detomax pour on when I first came to the farm. It came in tiny bottles and it was my job because I didn’t have to be in with the cows. Glen has always been over protective. 💞 Fiona is so cute! You know all about critters breaking out. You have some of the best escape artists. 😉 Take care. 🌺

Haha! They sure did!

Thanks Rick! I hope we keep getting snow, just enough to cover the ground and keep it clean. Right now it’s getting icy which isn’t ideal. I’m going to break out the non slip bottoms for my boots this morning. I’m off to watch your Part 2! Take care. 🌺

Thanks so much Anne. Hope you are doing well. 🌺

@@TheCowEmporium Im doing good and you?☺

@ pretty good, thank you. 🥰 We are headed out to treat these replacement heifers today and the weather is supposed to be nice. Yay!

Animal shenanigans! 😝 It’s going to be a nice warm week here. Hopefully for you guys too! Take care. 🌺

Thank you! You too! 🌺
