A Dairy Farmers Weekend...

[@margaretking4446]

As the Dowager Countess said on Downtown Abbey, “What is a weekend?” The work on a farm, especially one with livestock, doesn’t take a day off. Thanks for all you do to keep the world fed!

[@icebabysnocain]

You have a good sister. As well this new haircut really works for you. A tall handsome bachelor with his own house. You are a threatened species. Great that you can help the ailing heifer. She has a big bag for a first timer. I don't think we ever had a heifer not clean on her own after calving. Lucky I guess. We are waiting for the first "what I do when I get home "video. Good video. Pax.

[@yeagerxp]

Thanks for everything you do to supply us with safe dairy products 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves 🇨🇦

[@xlandros]

I could watch the bale picker for hours...something very hypnotic about it! Love seeing a field full of small squares also...reminds me of the "old days".

[@WhirlyPearly]

I remember 1/2 ton loads of small squares, pile them high bring them in, stack like bricks my best friend and I. 2 girls stacking 400 bales by hand and then tarping them and putting rocks, tires or old bales on the stack. Then it rained. 😂

[@11sesquialtera]

I always look forward to your videos. It gives me great pleasure to learn about your life. So important.

[@glennmoreside787]

Always enjoy listening to you and watching your videos, thank you!!

[@donevens4357]

You and Eric @ 10th Gen are my only 2 Dairy farms that I watch, and I really enjoy how you both work with your Dads! Keep it up and God Bless!

[@benedict_323]

There are plenty of other KZbin Dairy Farmers who would appreciate your support, Don.

That Frisian stock in you shines out !!! You are just fantastic AND get looked after by your sister !! Greetings from Australia

[@pietoosterhof5901]

That's very handy that small bail picker Jan.👍

[@sunroofracing]

Great video Jan! Great reminder of the things you and your family do to keep the supply of milk clean, and the excellent care you provide to your herd and each other. Well done!

[@dennisdole1764]

Love your bale picker. Sweet…..back in the day I used to stack over a thousand bales, 😩 if we could have had these in the 70s

[@dougdiplacido2406]

First time I have seen a bale picker. Pretty clever piece of equipment. Loved the video. Thanks.

[@robertdurkin7596]

Working hard on beautiful farm, happy cows to care, milk, etc good job, Ian!😉👍🐄🐄🚜🚜🏞

[@dieterbosch723]

Hello vet Jan, nice that you can help the lady. With the nice big udder she is a good dairy cow.🤠🤠😎

[@rogerfillion2804]

Thanks for sharing a piece of your packed day! Let's see your next share! Cheers

[@WBOS72]

Thanks for the update Jan. Always enjoy them.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You for sharing your time with us

[@edmo43]

Thanks friend Jan for sharing another interesting vlog. A weekend of dairy farmers. In a dairy they work 365 days a year, rain, shine, with heat or with snow.😲😲

[@michaelcollins6851]

Such good kids I'm jealous of your mom and dad much Love to all

[@danfinley3690]

Thanks for taking us on your daily journey always sweet videos

[@destinyliezl9167]

Goodday everyone❤I like your vlog🎉

[@jamesryan9206]

Thank you really enjoy the variety of the video. Have a great weekend.

[@AdamDavid]

Jan is a hard working man.

[@markiowa5437]

The title is almost click bait. I was expecting to see a video of you driving to the city for the weekend, doing some curling, hitting a sushi bar for eats, then bar hopping around ending at the dance bar. Maybe a quick Sunday morning having brunch at a popular restaurant with a mild hangover. Looks like you need to stay home to take care of the ladies. Job well done.

[@michaelcanales3683]

X2 on the click bait comment. I didn't expect to see Jan hit the town, I thought it was a prize giveaway for a viewer. Call me weird but that would be an awesome prize! Keep the vids coming, dairying is a difficult way of life, my grandpa milked until he was 80. Dispersed the herd and got rid of ALL his equipment. Out of the blue, I was given an old Surge bucket milker. A real treat. Looking for parts to make it complete.

[@markiowa5437]

Jan: why you are flipping me the middle finger in your comment below- this was a compliment that you're not partying for the weekend but instead working hard and taking care of the ladies- the beautiful ladies in your milk parlor. Peace out.

[@Greg5D]

This would be a dream to own a farm like that wow! Great work

[@homey3051]

Thanks for sharing your vids

[@kenitayrubio4561]

Hey Jan,great video again,like allways, thanks for showing around,have a nice weekend.👍💪😃

[@tinachambers4887]

Hi Jan poor cow looks very uncomfortable, Enjoyed the video have a day love 😍 from TEXAS

[@redmapleleaf4617]

I can't believe the size of the udders on those cows. Especially that one that you treated. Huge!

[@dsvidhill3409]

First calf heifer with that size utter probably won't last very long will probably get bigger as time goes on. You need a nice tight bag to start with

[@mmurphy2317]

I thought he explained the swollen udder...but I am not a farmer, much less a dairy farmer nor rancher, but had my family retained it's land holdings from the early 1800's in Georgia( we didn't...holdings were redistributed to previous "help" and/or "liquid"ated...save the last 300 acres) we being Irish/American...controlled for agrarian/forestry purposes approximately 1/190th of the current total land mass of the state( the largest in land mass east of the Mississippi R. )...all of this to explain that my existence exudes the American rural/farm life experience and it's attendant exigencies...just sayin'...and great job Jan and your Dutch/Canadian family!💪👍🐄🐄🐮🐄🐄🐄🍶🍦🍨🍼🐄🐄🐄👀‼️

[@randyburns3842]

Organized crime at its best the dairy industry what a joke. With all the quota bs look at the size of his operation gotta protect it. I’m a red seal plumber that has my own business in Canada I have my own farm which I’m not allowed to have dairy but I could have as many bees as I want or I could grow as many potatoes or carrots as I want but try to get into the milk industry at Oh no they won’t let you in if I wanna take my money invested in Dairy why should I be penalized nobody’s protecting me in my plumbing business 20 guys can open A plumbing or electrical or construction or mechanical shop tomorrow and I have to navigate competition. but God forbid anybody touches the dairy industry like I said organized crime

[@redmapleleaf4617]

@@randyburns3842 I agree with you 100%. I totally disagree with the dairy industry protections. Driving up the cost of all dairy products. And I also hate the amount of milk that is poured down the drain to keep those big bucks coming in. Ridiculous.

[@uppityupshaw]

Dying at a whole bunch of joy in the morning! 🤣

[@kendalls.358]

Nice gesture from your sister. Good family!

[@dhornsbycultus]

Always good to see you, Jan.

[@MyDuckfoot]

Nice way to get the small bales, i must have hand bombed 100s of small bale in my youth, walking the field and throwing them on the flat deck. My bac, aches thinking about it.

[@charleslynch7274]

Great video lots going on

[@kellwood1404]

Wow. I love that bale picker. Ty.

[@jonijarvis6391]

New Heifers! Are you expanding or replacing some older cows? If so, how do you decide who goes and where do they go?

[@drewistheone1]

Hello Jan, there are many jobs during spring and summer. What jobs you prefer?

[@billherman37]

You we're disappointed you didn't have time to help your dad. Well the way I see it you helped by getting the other things done so your dad had more time to get bale's picked up. Going to use the bales for bedding the calves

[@mienafriggstad3360]

No; they don't use those for calves. On his sister's channel; she is shown using bedding in bags; that are less dusty; in the calf pens Those small balls are used in the small animal pens; rabbit pens; goat pens; horse pens; and the chicken coop. Also arround his moms garden; to keep the weeds down.

[@rogerwilson8098]

Thank both u and your sister for making good content video

[@steveneal2706]

Nice video, Jan. thank you

[@cindyconnour446]

That bale retriever is cool

[@karenguest6741]

Can I ask why you only prep one cow at a time? We always did 2 at a time why we had a parlor.

[@Digeroo123]

I thought with a headline of A Dairy Farmers Weekend that we would join you in some R & R. But no! Dairy farming is a 7 days a week commitment. Do you ever get a day off? Not many people here in the UK use small straw bales. I like them for growing vegetables. They make growing potatoes so easy.

[@svfproductions9520]

Actually Saskdutchkid doesn't milk every morning so the answer to your day off question is yes he does get days off and in the weekends is 2 off days Saturday Sunday at least when they're not silaging as Jan does the Chopping.

[@svfproductions9520]

Great video Jan it's nice to see one of your sisters giving you a drink it's also nice to see your Mother in your video Ok that's a Nice Laptop you have for KZbin Jan your videos are always nice to watch.

Great video. It's like u never have any time off

[@frankrizzo3915]

Great video thanks for sharing.

[@thanujashree2490]

You make a video of what ingredients you will feed your cows.

[@ipfreely10001]

Did you say the cow you treated was a heifer, 1st calver- if so she's a terrible udder if you don't mind me saying for a young cow. Her udder won't last looking as it is now?!?

[@mearajulhoque7466]

very good vidios. broooo

another great video well done

Curious, what gauge of IV catheter do you use on the cows?

IV needles are usually 14 gauge

[@jamesbarry4324]

Enjoyed the video. Thank you. Sure like those sunglasses!

[@sidhudairyfarmbajekan7104]

I am big fan love you sir

[@cliftonhutson5327]

I remember my Grandma fixing me hot milk and sugar when I was a little fellow with sugar cookies to go with it,

[@asquithmainlines699]

I bet you have to stop and think what day it is because weekends mean nothing when you are a dairy farmer. I have been around cereal grain farms and ranchers most my life but on a dairy farm you have to combine the grain side as well as herd management and the haying/silage side while also doing two milkings a day and all the maintenance that goes into your pack barns. Your Mom outside washing the front shows the pride your whole family takes in what you do. Nothing but resect.....

[@dougarchbold1489]

Be nice to get some of your Dad or Moms wisdom. They are really an amazing couple. Raised three great kids. Built great business but what do they do for fun? From Holland they must be fun loving people. Do they have a date night? Do they have anything outside of work that they do together? Dancing, cards , movies , bowling? Bible study? Taking care of animals is great but really it’s interesting how a successful farm marriage is balanced.

[@mauricio_1984]

[@dennismaley4232]

Jan just wondering if they make a bigger scoop to clean the alley way. Or I mean wider

[@johnmcgregor3671]

Hey Jan just curious with the tunnel vent going how much does it lower the ambient temperature

[@timothymbonham4453]

Actually, it doesn't -- the air being blown through is right at the ambient temperature. But it helps make the cows feel cooler in 2 ways: - the sun beating on the barn roof could raise the temperature inside the barn to hotter than the ambient temp -- moving air through the barn prevents that. - cows, like humans, cool down when perspiration evaporates off the body -- moving air like from a fan encourages that, and makes the animal feel cooler.

[@jwiereng]

Yep. It’s not going to be lower than ambient. It draws in ambient air.

[@HM-0410]

Are you guys using the hammer mill you have or are you getting a different one? I still say that dairy farming is the hardest farming by there is. Awesome video as always. The girls are looking good. I really like how well you take care of themed. God Bless.

[@randybennett5417]

That small bale stacker is the way to go.
