Sawdust bedding arrives at the farm

[@DennysCountryLife]

Yep, that's a heck of a lot of sawdust! Ha ha. Gonna give the Case a solid workout!

[@macfarms]

haha Yeah sure is. Should have had JCB lend me one of those Teleskids lol

[@burningdinosaurs]

Hey, that looks like a lot of saw dust! That may take a trip or two with the loader! Hope it fits! Thanks for the video! Merry Christmas to you all!

[@macfarms]

Thanks David! Merry Christmas!

Not all bad when the snow holds off, unless you ski or run snow machines. The back of the barn looks dryer than your last video! Love your positive outlook and the very end! Now you'll be looking for a bigger bucket for the Ingersoll!

[@macfarms]

Haha yeah if I was a snowmobiler I’d be pretty upset lol need to get a high capacity high dump bucket for it lol be all set then.

[@calumanderson5617]

Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🎄🎄🎄⛄☃️🎅❄️❄️

[@macfarms]

Thanks! Merry Christmas! YT had your comment marked as spam for some reason. They must have the grinch working there..lol

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That would probably be 10,000 buckets for your little tractor! 😂 Great video, and Merry Christmas!!

[@macfarms]

😂 yeah it would have taken me the rest of the winter to get the sawdust in with that lol if I was lucky.

[@aliciadleblanc]

Someone has upped their editing skills 👍🏻

[@antonyfarming]

[@macfarms]

[@chrisharding7203]

Great video mate and Merry Christmas mate

Thanks, merry Christmas!

[@lonestarcoops6889]

Is the dustiness of the bedding not a issue for the cows?

[@macfarms]

It’s not very “dusty” sawdust, it’s pretty course stuff so it doesn’t make much dust.

[@anotherdayanotherdollarfar5453]

Yeah left us hanging..lol

[@macfarms]

Haha gotta pace the vids this time of year man not much goes on lol

[@brentreid7031]

So do you like the saw dust . I can send you some snow. Thank you for the video update eh

[@macfarms]

We like it, not as hard on gear as using sand. We’ve had a little snow here, not really enough to plow though lol.

[@paulmccallum4229]

It'll be interesting to see how far the NP mill closure resonates thru NS and how many industries it affects. They have said a lot of sawmills will close because of it.

[@macfarms]

Yeah we’ll see what happens, but I mean they had 5 years to come up with a plan and couldn’t make it happen so I guess it’s on them. Hopefully we don’t have to buy our own sawmill lol

[@paulmccallum4229]

@@macfarms Obviously not off your own farm, but do you know of anyone who has tried corn fodder bales as bedding material? All of the new dairy barns we have built in Colchester county (Hills and Boekmas )have been set up to use sand as bedding.

[@macfarms]

Paul Mccallum no I haven’t not down here anyway. I’ve heard of guys using sand too but that was never something we really wanted to get into. Sand is a lot harder on all the manure equipment than sawdust is. But I mean, if you can’t get sawdust that’s not much good either.

[@daledenotter6398]

wish i had that sawdust last me years

[@macfarms]

This will probably last us a year. Can be hard to get it at all at times. Trucking costs us more than the sawdust does.

[@JamesOBrien2253]

Why do you use sawdust does it keep the cows cleaner

[@macfarms]

Yeah we think it does, keeps the beds dry.
