The big herds in NZ have rotary sheds anything up to 80 bales. The rotary shed was developed in NZ. Most of the add ons used in these sheds were designed and developed in NZ. We have open yards here as the climate is more even and the bulk of herds are seasonal meaning the whole herd is dried off May and calving mid July/ August. Herds are mostly paddock grazed although there has been a swing to herd homes (covered) and feed pads ( uncovered). Calves are generally raised in batches and spend a relatively short time in sheds before going in to a paddock situation before weaning. A reasonable number of young stock go to grazers until just before calving. These females are usually mated by bulls run with them for a couple of months. Milking cows are mated with AI and run with bull to finish off mating.

I am a loyal viewer of the Rohrer channel. Would have been nice if you could have had an interview with Ashlyn. They have also left alfalfa production for the greater volume of double cropping. As a dairyman who worked hard to grow alfalfa as the cheapest protein forage it's difficult to think of milking cows without it.

The place y’all were visiting looks like a great change. But I’m an old mawmaw and I find changes these days just makes me feel like sometimes old school is better. I suppose it all comes down to how helpful that can be especially with changing would small farmers benefit from an expensive change over from what y’all have and their way of that whole process. Thank y’all for sharing all the things and I PRAY GODS BLESSINGS FOR ALL OF Y’ALL 👍👍🙏🙏🇺🇸

Rohrer has grown into quite an operation - didn't they have the Claas harvester on display? Also, thanks for the discussion on the cross bred holstein / montbeliarde cows, one cow is a little quick to prove it is typical of the cow. Keep your eye out for other cross bred cows and their production. Good luck!

Back in the 1960's when I grew up. most dairy farmers had Holstien cows with a few Gurnsey or Jersey cows to increase the milk fat content. That seems to have gone away these days. Also I wish you would consider allowing us to see the milk truck pickup process. You know the transfer of the milk from your holding tank to milk hauler. Thankyou.

Great video again. Wonder how the total costs/cow work out on that dairy compared to yours. Lots of other things to consider too. Another issue is the labor part..and availability..and just how many things you would want to manage if you were to engage in a change like that. I personally like the size that you are, but everyone's different. In switching off alfalfa, another item that you've probably already considered is dry years. You've undoubtedly got a plan. You & your dad keep up the good work!

Eric, I’d like to ask you and your partner (pop) about future plans, if you wouldn’t mind. Do you have aspirations of expanding your herd as you continue to expand your barns and everything needed to grow? Most of your viewers have a minimal understanding of what it truly takes to run a dairy farm, and to actually grow the business means more of everything including local land for farming, more water and power for operations, more people to help, and the list is long (I’m just an engineer, so I can only guess what you are up against). It just seems that you have a better opportunity to grow with your KZbin in one helping to pay the bills. All my best, and God bless your family. Engineer Mike.

I'd be interested to hear about how your fertility management strategy changes as you move away from alfalfa. Personally, it's hard to believe how many have moved away from it entirely. As a crop, it has a lot of benefits and certainly high protein production per acre, but with cheaper sources of protein readily available to supplement a corn and grass based diet, I can see the appeal. I would be interested to know how much the benefits to the soil through nitrogen fixation and deep, perennial root systems played a part in making this decision, or if Milk/Cow is the main metric for this kind of decision.
