Nice to see a clean barn. I milked cows in a tie barn and I was a neat freak s I really appreciate a clean barn. Hats off to you not many people want to work 7 days a week, and its too bad that the people in the cities have no idea what it take to ship milk today. Great barn and that is the first time I have seen a pipeline behind the cows.. You have a great looking cows and it looks like they are milking really well!!👍

I’m 45 this summer. Been a dairy farmer all me life here in Ontario I don’t think I e ever seen a pipeline and vacuum line behind the cows. That’s interesting that you milk them like a parallel parlour. Looks good.

Jordan, a lot of people don't realize how much work and hours dairy farmers put in, the cost of everything and most people probably think you get the amount of money we pay for a gallon of milk. So sad seeing dairys selling out due to not being able to do it anymore. Has to be really tough watching the cows get loaded after last milking and trucked to sale. We have very few dairy farmers left in northern Potter County and the ones still going are struggling. No farmers, no food. Keep up the great work 24/7 365!

Yeah I couldn't imagine having to see that happen. Where are you in Potter county? We have a place up there we get to a few times a year. When we get a chance to get away

Hi Jordan, in the very small town of cross fork, south central potter county. You can throw a stone from my house into clinton county.

Great video, how many cows are you milking? Nice clean looking barn and cattle. Also nice set up with milkers, nice to don't have to go up between cows to switch and move every other cow.

Beautiful barn but as an old retired dairy farmer, how do you handle a fresh heifer when milking from the rear as you are?
@zimhavendairyfarm19537 ай бұрын
Thank you! Its actually not too bad. They learn pretty quick and can't get the milker off as easily. If one is extra jumpy we can put the milker on from the side yet instead of standing directly behind them

You like the pipeline behind the cows better than a normal one?

There are pros and cons. We moved ours about a year and a half ago. I wouldn't go back
