A Break From Winter Means Corral Processing!

It’s incredible how many videos you produce. My hat is off to you sir. I love your video and I am not a farmer. I believe all people should watch farm videos to see where their food comes from.

I’m a retired farmer live and breath farm work until I got married an hung my hat up on farming. But miss it

awesome video. thank you guys

Morning Jan! Enjoyed the herd health content and seeing just how many animals your family cares for is nuts!

[@RiDankulous]

I’m not in the industry, but maybe the fact that he’s got a few extra employees does help with the extra workload. I know there’s a mechanic brand and then there’s a full-time farm hand that I’ve seen doing feeding among other task driving tractors and such.

[@jenniestark9126]

My dad stumbled across one of your videos. He was very impressed with how clean your barn is and the operation that you and your family have. When I told him that you were South of Saskatoon, he just couldn't believe it.

[@JAMESRS58]

It would be very handy to have an indoor wash bay in the shop ..

[@saskdutchkid]

I agree!

Thanks Jan for another great video.✨✨

You should send your Truck to the Detail geek to get detailed. That would be a sick crossover two of my favourite Canadian youtubers. 🔥🔥🔥

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Hello Jan , you all keep the barns clean and make the feed awesome now on top of the work , work it’s blowing snow . Now sorting the bug heifers from small ones that is a job. Yea salt will tear the engine and rust things under vehicles we take ours to car wash about 20 minutes away from us. But in bad weather here you will freeze your doors shut if you don’t dry the vehicles off. Looks like more than a hundred heifers wow. Your feed sweeper could uses a clean up . Helps it run better. 😅 We wipe our hinges and pad locks with vaseline to keep them from freezing up. Enjoyed the video I would have done the same thing you three did get out of the heifers way wow.

[@rebeccafehr2534]

I was left with some questions about the steers. Dairy farming is busy and does a pretty good job tiring a person out so some things just get put in the back seat for a bit.

[@theburnhams2925]

Hope you get enough weather windows to accomplish all you need to do at the time. Always enjoy your videos !!

[@mykalmcb]

It's a smart move on the part of the farm to use Ivermectin to treat parasites, AND you will keep the cows from getting COVID as well.

[@Gary_and_Linda]

Haha ya - was going to ask if anyone ever had Covid on their farm.

Wow...cow-a-bunga. So Jan how many cows total on the farm. I'm guessing 600 + ??? 😮 crazy stuff. Love the content and learning so much about what it takes to get that little gallon of milk in the store.

[@RiDankulous]

I’m glad you’re getting good. Temps up there for now; I think we might’ve stole some of your call down here in Tucson. There were freeze watches believe it or not which is pretty unusual. I think the risk is spread out across different parts of the area that might not be as much in the city center as around the city. Midday is pleasant though

[@timbrousseau3490]

Hey Jan, what hormones do you give the animals? I thought there was a ban on hormones on Canadian farm animals.

What are the harmones for? We raise black angus. Im just curious❤ Been watching your channel for 5 or 6 years. Love your videos

[@joycehook4832]

Makes the steers grow faster so they can get them... slaughtered quicker. They are given to other consumed farm animals also. Even tho FDA approves of them they still have studies that so called prove they can cause problems to the consumer. Thats why they sell hormone free beef and chicken and other meats to allow people a choice.

[@billjoat]

I used to work at a Ford dealership and have seen some nasty trucks come in. Had a construction owner tell me once thats why he gets all of his trucks a silver or sand color or as he said "dirt" colored so it will always look fresh. Then of course all the youngun's have to have their black trucks and they wash them every other day. True since you mentioned the salt, a lattice of 1'4" pvc to put under the truck and warm water to spray for a short while will add YEARS to the life of the truck.

Fluid film your truck

[@puirYorick]

Do you band your bull calves or bring the vet in to castrate them? You call them steers in the corrals so I assume they get relieved of their particulars at some point.

[@RiDankulous]

What about Rocky Mountain oysters?😂 nom nom nom nom

[@puirYorick]

@@RiDankulous I used to sub to a homesteader channel where they cooked them up for lunch. Girls for breakfast (milk) and boys for dinner (steak & burgers) was their saying about calves. YT is a lot more touchy now about such subject matter than six or seven years ago.

[@peacepeople9895]

I'm curious if you just plan to add all 150 to the milking herd and if so where are they all going to go? That's almost another shift of cows to milk if you're at 360 now, so you going to cull heavily, sell bred heifers or add on, again. Lastly, when you were done AI'ing that cow I think she looked back at you and was saying "what, no kiss". Thanks for the video

Why don’t you have a cattle dog companion. The Dairy needs a Australian Heeler roaming around

[@PartyOf8Please]

Dogs and dairy herds don’t go well together. Especially with a high energy dog like and Aussie. Dogs have a propensity for getting the cows all nervous and riled up, then they start running, slipping, jumping and so on. It’s a good way to end up with injured stock. A dog in the mix also makes cows so nervous that their milk production falls drastically. Dogs and beef cattle, perfectly way to herd. But not with a dairy herd.
