POV Feeding and Milking Dairy Cows | Small Dairy Farm

In this video you can see me mixing feed for our small herd of dairy cows. Currently we feed them with corn and grass silage, a pre-mixed protein feed, grinded corn and barley, some baking soda and vitamins and minerals. We mix feed once a day. We mix feed with New Holland TN70DA and Trioliet Gigant 700 feed mixer.
Dry cows have different meal, consisting mostly hay and straw.
We milk our cows twice a day in our small 2x3 herringbone milking parlour.
After every milking we clean their beds and throw some sawdust on them.
Thanks for watching!

Wow it's so calm and quiet when you are milking. The farms where i have helped there always is a lot of noice and humming from the pumps and so on. But it looks so relaxing when you are milking. Very satisfying.

[@farmerspov4709]

Thanks, yeah, I try to have as calm milking as possible, I even don't like listening to radio 😀

You do run a very nice, tidy yard 😊. The cows look very calm and quite... or is that just for the camera??😂😊

[@farmerspov4709]

[@jeremcoucou8379]

why don't you make a ceiling to put your concentrates in the mixer, it will avoid climbing the ladder each time

[@farmerspov4709]

Yeah I dont know, I prefer putting them in at the front of the trailer. My dad uses a ramp to put them in at the back 😉

Hi Do you milk all year around What do you put per kg per head in diet feeder What breed of cow do you milk Fleckvieh? Love to know how you manage the calves Many thanks

[@farmerspov4709]

@@michaelnorton3656 Yes, all year, twice a day. Each cow gets around 20 kg of corn silage, 20 kg of grass silage, 3 kg of hay, 1 kg of shelled corn, 1,5 kg of rapeseed, 0,3 kg of barley and vitamins and minerals. Cows that are at peak production also gets energy and protein supplement. We milk simmental (fleckvieh) and brownswiss cows. We feed calves with milk for around 8 weeks, after first week we offer them corn flakes and hay. Thanks for watching my videos :)

[@wazeh7886]

why do you use baking soda ?, how often does the milk truck come to pick the milk up ?, would it be very hard to expand as a farm as you in a very hilly area?, how often do you milk a day?. always really like watching your videos keep it up!

[@farmerspov4709]

For adding sodium to feed and it helps with pH level of rumen 😉 milk truck comes every second day and we milk twice a day. It would be mostly expensive, there isn't much land for sale right now and there are many small farms that are still farming around us... Thanks for watching 🙂

Another interesting video. You must be very good at reversing after watching this! When do you start mating, and what breed suits your farm best?

[@farmerspov4709]

Thanks 🙂 doing it every day, you get used to it 😁 we inseminate heifers around 18 months old, usualy with limousine for easier calvings. We have simmental and some brownswiss cows, simmental bulls reaches higher sell prices, which plays important roll on our farm, so I would say simmental breed is best for us 😉
