I used to dehorn a lot of cows years ago probably 60 yrs and the old timer that showed me how always told me to take a tiny ring of hair with the horn and they always looked great in a couple weeks..

Lights of today are sure nice. I put 3 doubles in our garage. And they only take a fraction of the power of the old ones. Maybe your year end can include the farm manager Grant Man. You are a very lucky man to have such a great wife/mother for your family. Take care my friend and stay safe and warm !!!

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. Interesting how there hoof trimmers work. I watch one on you tube channel. Most interesting work. Handled your bull real well and cutting the horns on that other cow. They do very good trimming the cows hoofs so they walk better. Getting some nice LED lighting in parts of your big barn. That is important to brighten the area up for the cows benefit. Good going Kip. Nice work. Always maintenance work to be done. You were good to get someone to work on a stainless steel tank. Hard to find anymore. You man did a good job the way it sounds. Good going Kip. Your wife did a fantastic job on those Xmas wreaths. They look very nice. Good job hanging them up Kip. Looks nice. About it I guess. Busy time Kip doing the odd jobs and stuff. You all take care and be well. Thanks for everything Kip. Take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

Those look like the same 8 foot led lights I put in my lambing barn. You can connect 5 of them together. They really put a lot of light out.

Great to get the bull on a day he's not moody. We do hoof trimming this time of year too. Hopefully you can get harvest done before spring. Sounds like the Tech is Matt B. Good man.

I use 1-1/2 in conduit clamp or plastic straping to put those led lights up . Lot easier and better than those crazy clips.

Just a thought on the chain for the bull we had it about 3 feet long so when he puts his head down he trips on it.
@jamesbkkr11 ай бұрын
A few robots in that holding area would probably work well, I bet those cows would adjust to robotic milking well the way that you milk and feed them in the parlour
@martythelen914611 ай бұрын
Kip, in the areas where the lights are mounted higher you might want to look at 2 bulb fixtures with reflectors. The more light you can push down the better. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

🇫🇷 Hi Kip why adding such a chain on the bull nose ring ? Ring not sufficient ? Great video as every week

Always look forward to a chance to see how you are doing. I know the cows are your business but I so appreciate your knowledgeable kindness when you manage them be it their hooves or a bull who needs a little help to stay with you. Merry Christmas to you and all your family! 🎄Love the wreaths! Great job Mrs.!🎄

Why didn't you tear that small section of tin roof of to let more light in. Why did you put the lights up between the rafters and not on the rafter losing three quarters of the light

It can be as simple if done well, some green branches and red bows. No need of blinking bulbs or anything.

You could put a mask on your bull. It has slits on bottom so he has to keep his head up to see. They don't charge with their head up
