Milking 400 Dairy Cows In The North Island Of New Zealand

[@DaveG7920]

Nice tidy set up, good to see people cracking on.

[@ruralgeek-nz]

Welcome to New Zealand! Nice setup, I'm relief milking around Otorohanga - nice seeing other farmers getting work done

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Great country

[@nlemosfarms]

I loved seeing this video! I spent some time working on a dairy farm on the north island when I was 19 years old back in 2017! I now lease my own dairy farm in California milking about 600 jersey cows! I've been in business for myself here in California for nearly 8 years now, and I miss NZ all the time! Cheers

[@1516kittycat]

Wonderful! Spent a year in NZ in 1986 working on all types of farms in the North Island. A great experience that shaped my life (met my wife!).

[@alanparkinson4772]

Looks absolutely fantastic, once again Crawford another top video

[@danaridings6387]

What a beautiful place!! Thank You for sharing with us!

[@amandadouthwaite1863]

Fantastic video, Crawford. Thank you. I find it very interesting to see how other countries farm and that farm was beautiful. What a great job they have done and what a lovely family. I hope you and mrs. Gate Lady have a fabulous time over there I did look into going there many years ago. i just wish i had taken that leap of faith. Take care 💜

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Hes have worked hard and been rewarded

[@workmax6526]

Great video and coverage of the NZ farming ways. That’s a right tidy place they must really be proud of. Keep those uploads rolling in 🙂

[@raymondrobinson4047]

Freddie and Emily will be very busy with grandad 😅 Great scenery....enjoy

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

In the snow! 😬

[@dfgaJK]

I bet the cows enjoy the constant changing of fields across that very varied terrain. They look like some very chillaxed cows!

[@johnlydon533]

Great video Crawford. Looks like a great set up there, great plans in place. Hope yourself and gate lady are enjoying the trip. 👍🏼👍🏼 enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing.

[@conor-breathnach]

Great video! Fair play for making the effort while on the hollibobs!

[@keithelston6104]

Great video. Loved the explanation of the rotation of the paddocks, no time for the paddocks to get sewar.

[@OxxFreddyGlasgow.]

What an awesome video Crawford. Thanks for sharing your holidays with us

[@cheechU38K]

Great information on the dairy farm. Typical rain following you over New Zealand 🇳🇿 is the grass really greener 😜

[@Ellibeg-kf7jj]

Hey have a great time!!! Our old milk tanker driver lives near Hamilton NZ crazy cause Hamilton was where our dairy farm was here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿…. But sadly we’ve now retired … hubby loves your videos and missing you !! Visited the farm shop before Christmas to get his beer fix!! 🤣 …. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇳🇿

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

[@georgehay5929]

Cracking video Crawford and gate lady that's a nice way to farm across there

[@phil6465]

I was watching your visit to Kiwi Farmer this morning. You could have stayed and dagged a couple of maggoty sheep for him 🐑🐑🤣

[@totomesch1940]

What a great set-up....... What struck me is all of the different shades of green, everything is so lush. Apart from that, you could be in Scotland or the English countryside. Love New Zealand. ATVB

[@AgroMente]

[@alexthomson719]

Well done Crawford really enjoyed that you lucky man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@roberthiggins6401]

What a set up and what a beautiful scenic country.

[@howarddavies9677]

Great video, beautiful country side, interesting and forward thinking farming too, enjoy the Hols.

[@ellencarver5575]

It’s a lovely country, I feel it looks very like Scotland They are a very hard working couple but it is obviously working for them

[@georgemorrison6689]

Enjoyed that very interesting 👍

[@kirstywallace8795]

Will you tell us how you're finding the conditions, widths of the roads, towns, space around everything. If you think the road signs are confusing or what differences in the shops, cafes. Thank you for bringing us along. 🇦🇺

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Will do

[@gilliantovey1014]

We toured round the north and south islands about 8 years ago in a camper van. The South Island in particular was very quiet on the roads once away from the big towns, you could drive for miles and not see another car. Good roads, road signs similar to the UK much of the time, there are warnings and advised speed on bends. Occasionally railway lines cross roads without gates, one line shared a bridge with us which was a bit unnerving. The South Island rivers are very wild and untamed looking like some of the rivers in Scotland. North island is busier on the roads, but again the roads are good and there’s even a motorway around Auckland. We loved NZ, beautiful scenery and lovely friendly people, great food too especially seafood on the coast.

[@gerryryan2142]

Brilliant video. So no need for big shed to house cows for winter period

[@bo0tzz]

Wonderful insight, thank you Crawford! Are you still in NZ? My brother flew out a solid month ago to go work at a dairy down South in Balfour. If you want to have a poke around there let me know and I'll get you in touch.

[@trevorsweetland]

Looks like the same sort of setup as the once a day farmer.

[@Warbs76]

Are the cow's out all year round?never noticed any cattle sheds

[@stephenpriest4711]

I used to farm in Taranaki, about 200km south from this video's location, and yes, all stock was kept outside all year. It's not too cold there in "Winter ".

[@guyd4067]

Your taste in music is en pointe - for a bagpipe playing Scotsman. PS In the antipodes "dollys" are children's toys, the thing at the back of a truck (lorry) is a trailer.

[@colinwientjens1871]

Dairy is definitely best way to build equity 👌

[@CrawfordsFarm1]

Yeh making great strides

[@colinwientjens1871]

@CrawfordsFarm1 I came back to Australia because you couldn’t share farm in Europe.

[@supajenni]

I'm not a fan of dairy farming, but this is very interesting
