[@billjoat]

Just me just say, and I'm sure I speak for many people, we absolutely love the fact that YOU sir are sharing your life with us much more these days and we thoroughly love it!! Thanks so much. have a GREAT day!!

[@TheStuport]

LOVED That "Lady" @ 13:05 putting on a bit of a "Susie Two Step" as she announced her spot being #1 In Line! 🤣 MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

[@BEV0323]

The segment where you were in the barn with the cows, seeing to their milking, is always the most interesting part to me. I love watching the cows, their reactions and how curious they are. They each have personalities of their own.

[@wolzer90]

the construction progress on the calf barn looks good!

[@phyllishalley8972]

You have such a beautiful farm... Quite a legacy for sure!! I'm proud for you!!! God bless you and your family!❤️🙏🇺🇲

[@Imposter-yd4xn]

Watching from Nova Scotia, always enjoy your channel. I'll never own a dairy farm but really enjoy your content. I realize this is hard work though I'd gladly give up my desk job to be back working with my hands.

[@b2617]

Agreed. Best time of my life was on a farm

[@christinekeleher3578]

Really enjoy watching all the upgrades and how things get fixed and how they broke. It’s a true learning experience.

[@MannLorèn-n8r]

No it’s not

[@MannLorèn-n8r]

You’re down

[@kaurkoop]

Where are the upgrades?

[@timothymbonham4453]

Fix or repair daily -- that's life on a farm.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos. The calf barn addition coming along well.....I see they go the roof on, won't be long now.

[@TangoDelta8111]

Watching you do all the Many things need doing just brings home to me what I missed out learning by being raised in the city. It’s obviously a hard life, (we all knew that ), but I do envy you the knowledge you’ve gained.

[@williammerry4746]

Another great video. You are ready for anything and just keep moving on. What a fine farmer you are. Thanks so much for allowing us to enter in to your days work

[@jrw5831]

I love your Videos. You are so grown up for your years. Farm life has taught you a lot.

[@benkemp]

Great camera angles in the milking scenes, Jan. Cows are so curious!😄

[@RobWCurrier]

Thx for the vid. Always such fun to watch….I've learned a lot. You are so cool, stable, and an up kind of guy…..great to connect with that….Best, Rob

[@jeffreycurtis3146]

Love your videos. Just seeing the cold weather rolling in makes me anxious, I don’t know how you do it . All the best from Florida 🌴☀️🌴

[@OutBackSmallEngine]

It's great to see the behind the scenes of Canadian farming. People really need to see it's not like the Sim games. Keep the great videos coming

[@tomcasino1489]

Impressive camera angles, and crisp editing. A pleasure to watch.

[@deanoz9307]

Always nice to watch the Holsteins and how they know what to do.

[@jeffharper6259]

Great video as always Jan! Hello and best wishes from Ontario.

[@lanmar4472]

Great… nice that you have uploading more frequent… always looking forward to your vlogs… 👍

[@guyfuller1369]

I want you to know how impressed I am with your excellent verbal expressiveness.

[@PeterShelton-no9qy]

Hi guys when you did the brake down on the steer pricing sheet I think you missed the fertiliser add on that the steers make. I think you are getting more for the steers than that. Not being picky but it all adds up makes it even better thanks for the videos look forward to each one cheers Peter

[@peggyt1243]

I am very glad that you do what you do. I could not be a farmer.

[@ethanscholten1383]

I do REALLY recommend finding another agitation system and putting it on. I’ve been on a farm all my life and they are really useful for when you get into thicker stuff

Lovely ladies, their care very good

[@darrensafezone]

Thanks for watching!

[@juice_box23]

I still can't believe that those MX285 tractors can pull that spreader you have, that thing is massive.

[@Dwthomas1946]

Thanks for the video

[@frankrizzo3915]

Calf barn is looking good!

[@asquithmainlines699]

Those youngin’s going to need some fluffy fur tonight as the forecast low is now - 10 C. We are defiantly on borrowed time for completing outdoor jobs now before everything freezes up for the winter.. Hopefully your list is almost complete.

[@jyoung9181]

great video...never a dull moment on the farm!!

[@verdagarner5112]

Love your videos always great content ❤

[@freddylove9914]

GOOD MORNING ALL 🙏

[@dadsdog1]

Thanks Farmer, I ate today!!!

[@theburnhams2925]

Lucky you caught that vent fan self-destructing! Couldn't you weld that hub blade mount? There was only one blade affected.... Always enjoy your videos!

[@Stucer02]

Really loved the milking parlor montage!

[@harveypenner2386]

Great Video

[@lesterhertel2945]

ANOTHER VERY INTERESTING VIDEO THANK YOU 😊😊😊😊😊

[@Digeroo123]

It is so hard seeing your ladies in the corals. I am used to seeing cows living on green grass in the summer.

[@markyoung3044]

you make great videos

[@barbaramagness2592]

Beautiful Farm!

[@chrisx2234]

Christopher from Minneapolis here, its 77 degrees F here today and it looks like your weather is holding in there also, It look like you have a lot of bales laying out in the field yet.

[@timothymbonham4453]

And he can keep that weather up there. We don't want winter any earlier than need be.

[@robinghunt]

You make me cold just watching you this morning.

[@bobogilvie4472]

I remember milking but not as nice a parlour as YOU are in. It was a sixteen cow parlor back in the day.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Always great video brother from the imperial county ca 🚜🇺🇲🇺🇲🎃

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, Thanks for sharing

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Jan. it looks really nice out there, cold but some sun, right? It's been variably cold in Montreal. Looks like Friday is gonna be the break day. Temps drop down into single digits flirting above and below Zero, a few degrees in either direction. No snow on Halloween, which is a good sign, Winter is still a little farther off !!

[@lakafant1]

is it common or not common to use silage bales in Canadian farming?

[@snowwolf5963]

Great video. So does the cold affect the calves at all? Kinda scary to be exposed to the weather and possible predators outside at night for those youngsters.

[@MellowYe77ow]

The newborn calves are kept in a heated barn for the first several weeks of their lives. After they're weaned off of milk, the temperature is slowly lowered to acclimate them to the cold. Then they're moved into the group pen barn for another couple of months. Once they're moved out to the corrals, they're fed the same TMR diet that the active milk herd gets, to help keep their body temperature up.

[@snowwolf5963]

@ yes thank you. What I meant was while they are adding to the new calf barn they are exposed to the weather or cold. Just wondering while the construction is going on how do they stay warm and worry about any predators walking through.

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Jan , does any of your family live on the dairy farm place ? Wow that is getting very nice where the parlor calves stay at the calf barn. How many can the calf barn parlor hold?

[@henkheemskerk4437]

[@bennykroon3851]

Hello! I wonder do you have your own well on the farm? Do you have any idea how many cubic meters of water are used in a day? it would be very expensive to have to buy water for all the animals. with kind regards Benny from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@timothymbonham4453]

They have 2 or 3 wells on the farm. Use a lot of water, but they try to conserve it. Like the auto-flush upgrade Jn talked about. Also, the floor washing they do several times a day is done with used water. Plus, of course, a lot of their water is recycled. It ends up in the manure or the lagoon, is later spread on the fields, and eventually filters back into the aquifer. The big loss of water that leaves the farm is in the milk, which is 85-90% water.

[@wild_insomnia]

aren't the calves in the barn cold ?

[@johnlong3214]

Could you use that loft/attic space in the calf building?👍

[@timothymbonham4453]

Closing it in would reduce the air circulation for the calves -- bad.

[@johnlong3214]

@@timothymbonham4453 You should watch Jan's last video and look up at the ceiling in the old part of the calf barn. . . . . closed in with space above.

[@johnlong3214]

Did you sell the second wheel loader? Lucky catch on that busted fan hub bracket.

[@MellowYe77ow]

No. The New Holland wheel loader is primarily used for feeding.

[@stevenhorne5089]

That's a dam big bracket to break. I'd run!

[@cindifischer6919]

Great idea to flush the water in the poop pan.

[@homey3051]

Why don't you use a tire additive to seal slow rim leaks

Do the same cows go into the same side of the milk parlour each time?

[@saskdutchkid]

Usually yes they have a favourite side

[@chrisingle5839]

I wonder if the cows react to full moons or not. Ours used to.
