You and IFarm We Farm are two great channels for showcasing proper well managed dairy herds, credit to the industry. Great drone shots too, this channel will take off soon, no doubt.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks!! much appreciated 🙏

[@jerry5329]

your drone footage was really good, the composition and general smooth panning and tracking of the tractor were very good. great application the features of the drone and just a good quality camera too very nice hardware and draws the eye in with detail to pop. Proper natural. use the drone for other practical applications and as a tool for other farm work.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks!

Another great vid liked the drone footage I see they chopped some maize you wouldn't know how dry it was.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

My neighbour chops some for green feed every year, still looks pretty green tho but i'm not sure what DM it would be sorry

[@phtpl8nz673]

When did you shut your paddocks for deferred grazing? And how many ha?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

I did about 6ha or maybe a little bit over, and shut them up at the start of October

[@ryantodd6821]

Nice drone shots man. You looking pretty dry over your ways?. We starting to now. Always look forward to your videos 🤙🏼

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Cheers man! yep we’re drying out again big time, think we should be algood tho if we get some rain next week 🤞

[@alpinefarmer1794]

Great vids 👌. Looks green up there. Pretty dry in mid canterbury. Curious what per cow production you're looking at on Oad

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks, we aim for about the 300kg Mark maybe a little more

[@adrianbiffin7259]

Top job 👍

[@10-4-d7d]

16.23 IN (414mm) rain in the last 3 months at my home in Maryland. Good luck it wasn't snow but way too much rain. Field prep starts 1 March around here. Might be a little late this year. What' your average monthly rainfall?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Through the summer its around 80mm a month and the winter months are about 110-140mm roughly.

[@robertrecher254]

Hello, I have a question for your guy doing your baking. I am looking at a Mchale baler and would love to hear how happy he is with it?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Finch contracting do our baling, send them a message on there facebook page or email, they would be more then happy to answer your questions. McHale is all they have used im pretty sure

[@benjaminbauer4883]

Another cracking video!

[@Jerseyhunger]

Hello make you all with the own Bulls?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

sorry I don't quite understand what you mean?

[@ronaldlucas5360]

Nice

[@jerseyproductions7127]

What size water lines do you have?

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

25mm to that trough, but we have 20mm and even some 15mm. our lines really needs an overhaul in the future!

[@jerseyproductions7127]

@@TheOnceADayFarmer yep we have Redone all ours with a 2 half inch main line and 1 an a half to the troughs keeps up to my 300 jerseys easy 👌

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

That sounds like heaven! ideally I would love to do it like that, you would get some good pressure to the troughs

[@ericcoyle5184]

Blue bird sky also an azure sky, heard you taking to Jamie McKay ( a funny guy ) so just boosted your numbers by one! that you just milk once a day is great too, re more time with family etc, will look in from time to time, cheers !

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Cheers thanks Eric! Yep Jamie was really good to talk to, I was a bit nervous but he made it pretty easy

[@MarkDonnelly-j9v]

Hi i like your video

[@paulroseveare316]

Don't you think in this day and age you should upgrade your water supply!!?? Iam sure it doesn't take hours for your glass to fill.

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yep definitely, I’d love to put 40mm main lines in. We’re gonna look at replacing a few next summer

[@trevorslater2746]

Maybe couple more troughs ? 1 close to the Maize feed pad might take the pressure off a bit ,Ur place is looking good

How to handle a big cattle farming.

[@wjphelan118]

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Thanks

[@bobmorse3513]

Do you and your dad ever take a break from milking once in awhile or are you 7 days a week I try to take at least one day a week off and my brother milks for me

[@TheOnceADayFarmer]

Yip we milk for each other when one of us wants to go away, but we do work 7 days a week a lot

[@sumonprodhan3779]

অনেক সুন্দর গরুর খামার

[@karlmorgan3678]

It's good feed but stacking them away and having your paddock out at this time of year sucks

[@kiwiswithwings5808]

Be careful you don't break the fendt
