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.

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

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!

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.
@homey3051 Жыл бұрын
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

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.!🎄

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
