I like the way you refer to the currently milking cows as “ladies” and the heifers as “girls”. It shows respect for the product they are providing.

[@billybishop8635]

@@Spjkbz D S2 you're right! There is no point in showing these intelligent animals kindness and respect during their years of service prior to becoming a further part of the circle of life. I mean these cows should be penned up like chickens, he should beat them when they don't move and ensure they experience no quality of life at all. After all they're gonna end up being slaughtered anyways. Since your going to die eventually too, why don't you just live your life as drug riddled transient and make sure you don't enjoy any aspect of your life, including the internet. No point in showing you respect since your going to be dead within 100 years, so feck off you idealist vegetarian

[@Emg2463]

@@Spjkbz nobody said anything about "idealizing" the cows. Showing a little kindness and consideration for another living thing, even if it is just a "cow"....never hurts and frankly, it's a credit to the kid...and his dad who raise him and taught him......that he does. Nice work SDK

[@gilesdesign]

Yes I’m sure the cows really appreciate being called a lady and makes it ok to stick a knife in them with their permission. They love it.

[@larrytrammell3713]

love the truck

[@TNTAcres2019]

Little tip for ya. When starting big Trucks, push the clutch it saves a ton of wear on the starter.

[@GrampiesCorner]

I love how clean the cows are (and the barns) compared to many farms.

[@michael7423]

i love the way you give the cows a vacation and the way you take such good care of the ladies!

[@saskdutchkid]

Thanks!

[@virginiamoss7045]

@@saskdutchkid - Why do you shut them down for two months?

[@nicholasdowns3502]

Virginia Moss, this is to allow the cows to be less stressed for the two months before they have their calves. A lot of stress on a cow that close to having her calf can sometimes cause the cow to lose the calf also (which is a very sad day if it happens).

[@virginiamoss7045]

@@nicholasdowns3502 - Since he said they were "drying off" the cow, I assumed she was lactating, being milked. How can she be pregnant and be lactating at the same time? What is the "vacation" a break from?

[@aadi2456]

What a life-- no grass to walk on or graze, no hours of soaking in the sunshine, no just wandering arnd. Day on day end serve human needs & be moved around in closed barns on concrete floors. What these cows need & what they will get is totally human dependent

[@waynebulson941]

Hey Jan! I wasn't taken by surprise this time you said, "we're drying them off". Wow! I'm learning so much. Love watching your videos. Haven't kept up with the affect of COVID-19 in Canada lately. But I hope and pray you all are not experiencing too much set-back in productivity. Spring is coming!! Blessings to you great farmers.

[@cowboyupnow63]

Gosh your cows are so gentle in milking parlor they didn’t flinch when treating them for dry cow time.. job well done.

[@desross2002]

In a few years when you'll hit de one million suscribers, we will need to say: Jan, the man, the myth, the legend. Kudos my friend

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Always amazed at how far away those drones can fly, and their camera quality

[@michaelbruning5786]

You are an excellent example of personal initiative and professionalism. Have you ever thought about having summer training for young people interested in farming? It would be great if you passed along your knowledge to people who have no idea what farming entails. You would be doing the next generation a great favor. Think about it. Summer Training Program via on the job training and some reading re vaccines, environment, etc.

[@mckayladill5551]

"There's 13 cows here" Me: Counting the cows as he walks by😂

[@MarkTrombly]

Great video, as always. I really wish that you would do a video on open pasture farming vs. keeping the cows inside all the time. I notice that you and 10th Generation Dairyman keep your cows inside while Tom Pemberton Farm Life allow his cows access to the pasture. Is it just a question about not having enough land to allow your cows to graze or them being easier to manage? You and 10th Generation Dairyman are the first dairy farmers that I have become familiar with besides my uncle. He didn't have a large barn and only brought them inside for milking. I would really like to get your take on the topic.

[@luukscholten4437]

I think he keeps the cows inside because the winters can be so hard that the grass in the pasture will die

[@raheados2909]

It is also very difficult to collect te cows 2 for milking because that much cows need a lot of acres

[@aadi2456]

Teat & Meat-- that's all the worth of these animals. The highly commercial quick churn farming of today makes sunshine, open pastures an unneeded luxury for cows & cumbersome for humans in terms of space, time & labour

[@MarkTrombly]

Weather has nothing to do with it. Why don't we let Jan answer the question instead of you all answering it for him.

[@biffmerkes2874]

It’s just a management preference mostly and wether or not you got adequate number of acres to graze. I milk cows in a stanchion barn and they go out to pasture when not getting milked and if it’s raining they come in really muddy so there are times when it pays to keep them in

[@nancyegelton1593]

I really like the way you think about the little things such as where a neck rail is placed. the "girls" comfort is a priority !It shows in how good your herd looks.

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey DK how about showing us what you like to do on your time off and that's a nice looking truck you have and as always you are taking care of your girls so what's next for DK keep up the good work and see you in the next video 🤔🐄☺😉

[@sierraedmonds2950]

I work on a dairy farm in New Brunswick and Its super cool to see the different routines, equipment on other dairy farms!! I love watching videos of other farms and seeing the difference between other farms! Dairy farming was my first job and I've been doing it for almost 3 years and absolutely love it! At the farm I work on we have a 32 stall rotary parlor and milk about 450 cows 3 times a day! Seeing your milking parlor and routine is awesome seeing the different equipment is amazing to watch. It's cool seeing how all dairy farms operate differently!🙂

[@piglet1639]

I can’t believe I’m still watching cow videos and I’m fascinated. Was wondering do the cows always do things at their own pace ? They always move so slowly and what does the neck rail actually do ?

[@elias007deco]

Had that same exact question ;D

[@evan3784]

So that don’t walk all the way in the stall and shit in there bed

[@notapplicable430]

When the cow stands up in her stall her neck touches the neck rail which causes her to move back a step or two, which in turn causes her manure to fall into the manure alley rather than on her bed.

[@piglet1639]

k c thanks for that. Not sure I want to know now 😃

[@derrickeversman1469]
