Do you use a system to set benchmark rotation days for each month?

I put a hole through my finger when I put it to close, just saying. Cheers 🇦🇺

Does the young fellow never wear gum boots? We are going with jersey ‘semen’ don’t get into the nitty gritty of it just what the farm owner asked marine clay soils same size herd 120 cows but nice system 2 at Paeroa and only 2 calves were dehorned this year the rest are all poled same as last year

Great video, interesting insights. Thanks.

I'm crossing my herd with fleckvieh.i find there a lovely cross with hol fresian..good temperament although are very strong.i cross easy charlois on them that I'm not breeding from and are fantastic cattle.i think a better cross than jersey and great cull cow value or calf value if your selling calves.

😂😂Pure Jersey herd would put an end to your garden by the sounds of it! Three way cross, Fleckvieh, Jersey & Friesian?

Beautiful set up what about guernsey also nice animals with enough milk and butterfat

100% go Jersey, there so much easier than Friesians. You won't regret it!

I like the narration Style videos they are very informative, great job of the channel.

Shared your video, the smell of hay is great and another great video

We're enjoying you videos. Nice to see a NZ farm online Where abouts are you based?

i definitely agree with you about the lovely smell of fresh hay and I love your videos

Great videos, keep the coming!

Great vidio very interesting r your cows mainly nz freasians? What bulls did u yews when u were matting please

Hi there. Awesome video. Brilliant looking cows. What semen company do you guys use

Interesting video keep it up

nice dairy farms guys..if nu need farm assistant,i am willing to join with u.i have more than 6 years experience with the dairy farm job.

We love dairy farming❤❤❤

Nice video, sucess What you focus when buy genetics?

I hope the approaches you’re taking yields better economic results.

You guys are so green! Here in central Waikato we are baked.

But generally then heifers are always Last for milking and they are usually get in calf better as well

Did I miss spmething? I didn't see any cleaning, stripping or dipping in the parlor.

Very interesting, love your approach to farming, i to love giving my herd equal opportunity in the paddock by holding them up, interesting your findings with empty rates and what row they were in last 2 rows know how to look after themselves it seems, thanks for sharing, your farm is looking amazing for this time of year 👍

How many ha's of hill do you spread by hand?

I've a 3/4 Fleckvieh 1/4 Friesian bull calf. Loves a scratch wants one before their fresh break every other day. Don't think he would take to well to me putting the cups on him though...

Great and informative channell. Your cows & heifers look great, and your grassland management looks reallly good. You must get a good amount of rain in your area, to have the grass that you have. On many other NZ video's the cows don't seem to have the lush grass that you guys have. I like that you take, making silage ,seriously. It costs money, and it's the cows feed for part of the year. We also farm a similar no of cows in Ireland, and our cows are also a mix of holstein and jersey, and we too are a bit obsessed with making silage, both pit and bales. Well done, and great to see a woman with such interest in the fine details of dairying and cows, and well able to work, wishing you continued success.

Hi nice to see another ‘KZbin’ r from NZ they getting up there in numbers now and came up for suggestions page

Why you choose fleckvich breed?

Hi Tracey. Greetings from Australia. I love watching your videos. I was just wondering if any of your fleckvieh cross heifers coming through for next season had any Jersey in them, and if so how they turned out? I assume they’d look like a really Chunky Jersey, however I wasn’t sure. Also have you ever used any Guernsey genetics in your herd? Seems to be a fairly rare breed these days (in Australia anyhow) and I just wondered if any one was using them in NZ. Certainly don’t see many Guernsey’s in Australia. Thank you, -Luke

We are snow covered in Ireland at the moment

Man your son must have some hearty feet 😂 tough alright thanks for the vid 👍

Super work great team you cant beat a dutch man when it comes to water take care

Yea he will do well with that attitude

Easy to see who wears the pants lol

The young fellas going to be a good little worker when he grows up

The farm has excellent infrastructure , im binge watching today

Very similar farm to the farm i was brought up on,50 years ago, i still live on the farm for now but moving to a house near by, but my brother owns the farm now

Mind children playing on bales what country are you from not usa they mow the ditch stroke first 😂

Another good video,,how long have you been making videos how much have I missed

When I was young and on the farm i used to love everything about making hay near Nelson

Very interesting, we baled our first lot of hay today at the neighbours. We will bale our own this week hopefully 🤞 great video

Wow, you'll be pleased to have the pain of burst appendix behind you! I suffered from this in the spring of 2006. I can still remember catching a hogget that needed a hand to lamb, while I had a drain and bag hanging off my belt. Crazy times. Lovely hay in the bank with potentially some better 2nd cut coming. Great videos, thank you! HNY from North Canterbury.

Thanks for sharing, i personally think good quality hay is quite an under valued feed in the dairy industry, your farm is looking nice and green still, we are in central plateu and farm is looking like it normally would early February burnt and lots of stressed grass

Love your videos! Why do you like hay so much tho? I personally think it's a waste of grass, as it's so low in energy. I'm 145 cows on 50Ha grass only in the Waikato and I never once have thought 'man hay wud be nice to have right now.' I can see how in winter when we are on a 120 day round it wud help the cows be more content but I still don't see it being cost effective.

We have started using dish washing liquid to check for mastitis and it has work well. We use 2 litre water bottle full 80 percent of water 20 percent dish washing liquid works good

I have just found your site. Watching from a wet and cold UK. Where are you? It looks like you are East or South East of Stratford.

I just found your KZbin channel and I like it ❤️ Watching from Sweden 🇸🇪

Ah you do it in September, we always do ours in August when the shops start having the Christmas stock in.......................
