Hey thanks for watching the video!

[@katherinekinnaird4408]

Hats off to California Dairy Farmers as they deal with so many state regulations as well as rising costs and lack of water. Thank you farmers. From Bakersfield California USA.

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Lack of water so the crowd the dairies out yet all of the orchards are consuming massive amounts as well and that's ok.

Looks a lot different than the California dairy commercial they showed on tv for years. The slogan was "happy cows come from California" and showed dairy cows grazing in lush pastures and relaxing under shade trees.

[@michelrodrigues110]

LOL ±The climate changed a lot and in Californaia you can stolen freely, so better keep the animals well kept inside, right?LOl

He was fabulous to interview. A wealth of knowledge and extremely articulate. I like him. 😀. I can’t imagine all the regulations the state of California has for farmers.

Love Jerseys. My Mom was born on the adjacent island Guernsey. She said Jerseys had dark noses and Guernseys had pink ones. :)

[@Pharphette]

The farm is a well oiled machine. Very efficient and environmentally conscious. He gave a great and informative tour!

[@hauntedmoodylady]

I'm sure this farmer is pleased that he gets your politically correct 'environmentally conscious' seal of approval. I'm sure it would be worth more if he knew you were an efficient, and environmentally conscious Newsome asskisser..

Must be an absolute pain to have to deal with.

[@wcswood]

There is no such thing as an environmentally conscious dairy farm. Yer delusional.

[@jocodabest]

That’s a lot of liquid and water usage per day. This happening in a state where water is low, I’m not sure how environmentally friendly that is ?

[@_broits_george]

Best thing I love about my state California is the fun, beautiful places, but I also have a spot for dairy farming, love the smell in the morning

[@paf950]

Brent gave a great tour. What a massive operation !

[@peterparsons7141]

What an impressive operation. Fantastic, and jaw dropping. I do not believe most people have any idea the complexity and size of operations like this.

[@cindifischer6919]

I believe your comment, most folks have no clue on operations this big.

[@Thros1]

People don't want to know it can be pretty brutal come slaughter time

[@peterparsons7141]

@@Thros1 yep. My dad was a pretty solid guy. Old school, industrious we had a bakery amongst other things. We needed extra cash for another business and he took a part time job on the killing floor at the slaughterhouse. That’s the only job he said he would never do. Coming from him that was something.

[@deltonwatts9726]

Great Tour, explaining the huge Jersey Dairy! Thanks.

[@farmerjoy491]

We milked 400 cows north of San Francisco and after touring the large dairies of the south we decided to sell out. In fact a large dairy had bought us out. One of the best days of my life.

Cattle raised on concrete, standing in a drain of waste water and effluent. Eating silage from a feed trough. Intensive dairy farming. The Chinese took a leaf out of your book😉

[@Alps-e3h]

I’ll take a wild guess you are from the suburbs or a city and you are judging people with a 1000ft scope in something you have no experience or expertise in . You base your opinions on emotional ideology instead of logic and reason becuase your an idealist and “feel “ things should be done a certain way because that’s what makes you “feel” better. The irony is yes concrete is not a natural habitat for cows but with our population and demands it is what’s necessary and what is required to achieve product objectives! If you have a better way please let us know how your experience and expertise can better the agriculture industry! P.S I’m born and raised in the SF Bay Area so my opinion is coming from the urban side of things lol

[@oldharpydisguised709]

I agree with you factory farmed dairy cows not really a good idea . However well done. What becomes of the bull calves? And all the calves that are removed from their mothers at birth? Dary cattle should as much as possible be kept on grass and fed on grass, cow cake is for heavily pregnant cows and winter feed. And I am a dary farmers daughter from the uk, not a vegetarian ubernite.

What an amazing tour you showed us, Jan! I knew Hilmar was famous for milk and cheese... but I had no idea how huge this place really was! I also had no idea I lived so close to this huge Jersey dairy farm! They also have a good high school football team. We have played against Hilmar in the past! (Go Sonora Wildcats!!!) That is how near we are! Thank you for showcasing this beautiful farm! The town of Hilmar now has a new meaning to me.

[@annkirk7676]

I remember this farm in the late 1970s was huge then and beautiful cows 🐮

[@AgriFatech]

It's truly impressive to see a dairy farm successfully manage 2400 Jersey cows, especially in the picturesque setting of California! The scale and efficiency of this operation must involve some remarkable strategies. I'm curious, what are the key aspects of dairy farm management that enable such a large herd to be maintained effectively? Also, how does this farm ensure the health and well-being of the Jersey cows while maintaining high productivity? It's fascinating to get an inside look at the operations of such a substantial and well-run dairy farm

[@awefense7758]

Awesome video. I had never seen a rotating parlor before. Seeing the cows wanting to go for a ride made me lol. Simple pleasures.

[@jonahwhale9047]

They've been selective bred to produce as much as 10 times their natural quantity of milk so they need to milked in order to relieve their distress. It's the equivalence of having 10 or 12 years old with a pair of Dolly Partons bursting with milk that need to have the pressure reduced. It's not a laughing matter. Go vegan.

[@TiaraPoodles]

Brent - glad that SaskDutch Kid recorded all the family's success and your CONTENT COWS!

[@jennycuccinello7771]

[@hariprathap692]

Hi Jenny did you remember me

[@thenerv37]

That was cool to see how automated a large dairy can be in the barns.

[@cindifischer6919]

And it is well beyond what he even showed. It's what the farmer is willing to take a chance on. They take a chance and most succeed but some don't.

[@cindifischer6919]

And it can be well beyond what even he showed. It depends on what the farmer is willing to take a chance on, the expense is huge and they do their paperwork to see if it'll cash flow. Got to make a profit or why would you do it if you didn't make a profit to get ahead?

[@berrypainter]

Its farms like this that have ruined the price of milk for smaller farmers. In the long run they have hurt themselves because the price for milk is so low the only way to make money is with huge volume which in turn drives down the price of the product. A vicious circle.

[@larryrehmann8166]

Nice layout, lot bigger than my 70 cow of registered Jersey’s . Mine was a one man operation with added help of my wife. Been over 30 years since we farmed. As a grade “A” was difficult to keep up with new requirements known as EPA. Thanks for the nice tour. Milked in NC

[@errhka]

Super cool to see them go electric - will save them quite a bit on maintenance and fuel as well as keep the central valley air cleaner (every little bit helps that place LOL).

[@jacobkay5670]

Get them.out the shed amd grazing. Jerseys do so well grazing and only being milked once a day

[@jacobkay5670]

I'm a dairy farmer in the 🇬🇧 used to milk 500 Jerseys but they were out grazing as soon as the ground was dry and grass was growing they do just aswell that way. It might just be me but cows grazing is the cheapest and easiest way, especially when your on OAD milking, got so much more time for other jobs and a better work life balance

[@JeffAboularage]

I remember as a little boy growing up down the road from Fresno State. My parents would take me over to see the dairy as a treat.. The students would give me a guided tour, and show me how the parlour worked. Somewhat automated for the Mid 80s but the facility was brand new then.

[@jonascreed7825]

Imagine it was a farm for human breast milk and the woman were selectively bred to produce 5 times more milk than they naturally would. Would it be the rape, slavery, theft and murder industry.

[@jakedog1976]

[@Dextamartijn]

Nice dairy Jersey cows are sure small compared to the Holstein. Really enjoyed this

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

You have to commend your family members to sustain through everything in the past 50 years that has come through all the legal courts on farming and financial issues which broke many farmers especially in the Midwest… I saw many third and fourth family generations break I lose a farm that they’d work before the 1900s they no longer could afford to Keep! Really proud of your family and I really enjoyed particularly being able to watch this dairy farm as that’s what we had growing up. My father especially preferred jersey cattle as did my mother however, there came a time when I remember Holsteins joined the farm and I did not like them as a child as their feet were SO BIG & THEY WERE SO MUCH TALLER THAN THE SWEET, CALM JERSEY’s!!!! We were selling our milk to a large grade a company that is still in business and I wasn’t let in on the private decision making process… Rather I just took care of the separator and we were doing everything at that point in the mid 50s by hand and I was never so happy as to see those Holsteins leave our dairy farm a few years later. I know there are people that love them because as you travel across the Midwest you will see farms that are strictly Holstein but I’m with you guys… Jersey all the way❣️❣️♥️ I no longer live on a farm but if I’m painting a baby calf, there’s none any cuter than a jersey calf with his big brown eyes and his big dark nose I looking up at you and there will be a little legs and they are just adorable no two ways about it!!!! Every year than I make it to the state fair in Iowa, I make sure that I make it to the barn where the Jersey cattle are because they always have a cow or two that give birth to a jersey calf and it just makes my day. I would love to see your baby calf barn in one of your videos!! Continue to watch your videos and kudos on making it all these years and standing up through the California regulations. I’m an interior designer and the licensing for California and the rules for building a house is 10 times harder there is anywhere else in the USA FYI. Wishing you the best of luck and kudos on having the cleanest dairy barn I Ever Saw😊♥️🌈

[@texlongone]

Well done Jan. Another great video. The one thing I got from this one is that it isn't us versus them, it is that they know how to do stuff very well and so do we. Keep farming and keep caring!

[@colddiesel]

I get the impression with all types of modern dairy operations that it is about feeding, slurry and Muck removal, with milk as a by-product. That's not a criticism at all, it is an amazing example of logistical problem solving. It would do credit to a modern military operation. Well done - from OZ.
