Milking 280 Cows With GEA Milking Robots! British Columbia

[@asquithmainlines699]

This is probably my favourite Dairy Tour you have done to date. Everything was explained in such detail and also explained why it was done that way. So comfortable in front of the camera as well. You must really enjoy doing these as well. Living The Dream, what a great way to explain what you do, says a lot. Twenty days from today is also Christmas Eve folks, almost time to dig out your stockings.

[@bhoola123]

You r the best. Thanx for visiting and getting all the insight and sharing with us.

[@nesandhiller5323]

You are getting better and better at the farm tours. Great video about a well run dairy operation.

[@nmccw3245]

It sucks what the Netherlands is doing to its farmers, but I’m glad you guys are thriving in the new world. 🇨🇦👍🏻❤

[@patrickaherne3598]

Yeah, they went full jackass. I think we need to reduce the population of politicians to help the climate. This is straight up BS what they're doing to those farmers.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great tour video Jan. Very informative. Thanks.

[@engelkep504]

Fun to see how a generation of former dutch farmers found the challenge to become great dairy farmers, great innovation!

[@davidchristensen6908]

Nice video. Interesting to see how different farms run their program. The difference in systems in place is amazing. Farmer needs to be mechanics, machinists, electrician, veteran and even a scientist all this on top of husbandry. Have a good day looking forward to the next visit to another farm

Awesome video!! Very well explained. Farm tour videos are awesome 🔥

That dairy sure has their program down to a science. I think their robots are the best. Very good video, Jan!

[@jeffskent]

Excellent demo of modern dairy farming and the benefits we all receive from ready availability of dairy products in a safe and effective manner. Thank you to you all. Good video editing, sound, and drone shots as well.

[@robsterenborg]

good of you to expand your horizon, get new ideas and learn from others. I think you have grown on the concept of milking robots a lot but time will tell and the technique continues to develop so when it is time for new investments it will be a good change. Don't be impatient

[@tobiasbamert886]

Thanks for the great Dairy Tour!😁

HAPPY NEW YEAR,,,,GOOD VIDEO

[@wecoverstructures]

That's one of our fabric roof barns :) Great video

[@CMDSR]

It amazes me the way each dairy adapts to their location with different way to manage their manure. Like each one is it’s own laboratory trying different a theory.

[@pietoosterhof5901]

That whas a great tour around the farm 👍

[@alsisay6837]

Wow… amazing work.

[@Digeroo123]

I very much enjoy your tours of other farms. The robots are interesting. I like the fact that the milk is automatically checked from each cow. I am thinking you are wanting to persuade your dad to get into robots.

[@sunroofracing]

Excellent presentation Jan! I found the discussion of genomics to be quite interesting. Using the technology to know the animals better and maximize comfort and quality of the end product (calf, milk or slurry) is very sensible. A shorter video but rich in information with the viewer invited to form their own opinions. Class Act!

[@triciaabrams8848]

I love your farm tours! The overlook area is epic! Sit there with a cup of coffee on a cool morning! Nice!🥰

[@tcthorodr4023]

This one I was curious more about the structure of the barn, it seems so different than others you’ve visited.

[@MellowYe77ow]

It's a European style barn, rather than a North American style barn.

[@tcthorodr4023]

@@MellowYe77ow I wasn’t so much thinking the layout but the roof structure being semi transparent I was wondering about snow and/or wind tolerances given the span. Given it’s BC it can certainly handle the rain. Then in the summer handling the heat would another thing.

[@MellowYe77ow]

@@tcthorodr4023 It could be FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) roofing. Enduro Composites claims their roofing can withstand hurricane force winds.

Cool seeing this farm again after about 10 years, our GEA dealer took us to check them out when we wanted to start a new robot dairy farm. They seem as laid back as then.

Hi Jan. Video quality is awesome

Were the barn fans mounted at an angle. were they trying to push air through the barn? I have only seen them blowing straight down in ag and manufacturing.

Thanks Jan for another Dairy Farm tour. Do you think your farm will take the robotics leap in the near future? You farm is pretty progressive. I can see you going that route.

[@airgunzguruz554]

280 cows in milk or total including drys? And what sort of yields 305 days or per day average ?

[@temiyeseyi9470]

Any advice on how to get started in Africa Nigeria to be precise? Am talking In terms of course for dairy business.

[@04dmkrueger]

@saskdutchkid. Have you ever spoken with a GEA employee about these boxes?

[@Len_M.]

The Best setup I’ve seen, there may be better Technology/techniques now, but it was a Round spinning Milking Platform. When the Cows get on they take a Tiger Torch and Flame the Udder and clean off all the peach fuzz that holds onto 💩, then it’s cleaned and the Suction Setup is attached and Milking Begins and as One Cow is done when it comes around another Cow takes its place and the Cycle continues until every Cow is Milked.

Wow never seen a robotic function dairy farm before - the age of robots are on the rise 🤔

[@pamelanoirot1427]

Good video! Surprised you can get away from home as much as you do

[@MichaelHolloway]

Going to start a list of terms, phrases and things that I didn't understand: :/ - 'feeding grain in the robots' - 'more expensive at the robots' - 'grain robots' - colostrum (I looked it up - so if young calves get mother's milk immunity they are good; but it has to happen within the first four hours ? Why is that? Is it that is the period of possible onset of scours?) ref: ”If the cows have good immunity they provide good quality colostrum to their newborn calves. If those calves can get colostrum within the first four hours, they have good protection.” (Canadian Cattlemen - March 18, 2020 | Scours in calves | by Heather Smith Thomas) - scours (Canadian Cattlemen - March 18, 2020 | Scours in calves | by Heather Smith Thomas) Great interview!

[@TheDurnans]

How many calves do the cows have before they're worn out and turned into hamburger? On our dairy farm, we could have a cow for many years. I hear they're lucky to have two calves before they're worn out now.

[@MellowYe77ow]

Jan's farm has a cow that's nearly 10 years old. She has produced close 100,000 liters of milk. He briefly shows, and talks about her in a recent video titled: Hauling Liquid Manure In Sub Zero Temps (Skip to 16;31)

[@TheDurnans]

@@MellowYe77ow That's good to hear. When I visited farms in NW Indiana where they milk a ton of cows, I was told that they breed them back one time. If they don't take on that attempt, they're gone. If they do take, they milk them one more cycle. They don't try for another time. I asked why & they told me that the cows were wore out by then.

You add hospital cows into the system you use and when cow enters into the robot it collects its collar tag data and determines which group it is in.
