I grew up on a small dairy farm in north east Iowa back in the 1960 to the mid 80’s. We milked around 40 to 50 cows. We had a pipe Line but didn’t milk in a parlor. We went to them LOL. I knew families who had big herds and miked in parlors. Yes getting things ready before milking and clean up after milking takes a while plus feeding. Then watching you I remembered how much water a dairy farm has to use. It took me back. Even tho things has changed in agriculture/dairy farming. That more things stay the same. Still hard work. Cows still have to be milked every day 365 days a year 😀👍🏻🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

Eric thanks for the parlor tour, when I was younger I milked in a double ten with 475 cow (plus sick or treated cows). It interesting to watch how others do it. We always fed grain in the parlor, use plain water to wash, and always had lots of poop to clean up. I think not feeding them on the parlor cuts down on pooping. I like how clean and efficient your system is. Thanks for sharing
@xMarf3 роки тому
Most of the pooping it's from how you treat the cow. If you yell at the too much or push them they will poop everywhere. I do the relives milking on our farm and it´s notoriously different how much the cows poop between the guys that milks regulary and I
@reneloper90743 роки тому

@samwaterlander81203 роки тому
@Rene' Loper @Martin Nanning is correct with what he says that when cows are stressed they will poop more because on my families farm when the hired hands milk they generally have to push more manure to the end of the parlor were as when me or my brother milk we barely have to push any manure because we just let the cows walk into the parlor by themselves whereas the hired hands whistle and yell resulting in more poop

I am a daughter from dairy farm from the 70’s &80’s my daily chores began before the school bus came in the mornings and yes it was early Then after school the evening feeding and milking helping in every aspect of milking. From my days back then to this video lots of changes but I wouldn’t change it for the world! I fondly remember calling the cows in the prep work in the parlor, bottle / bucket feeding calves, and hand throwing silage down the silo to a wheelbarrow for heifers All before school and evenings too ! Hard work but lessons learned carried my sister and 4 brothers through to our now adult life. Those days can never be replaced and most people I know only know how milk comes from the dairy case at the local grocery or big box stores. My parents retired in the mid 80s and went onto their next career which continued hard work my father has since passed and I now raise beef cattle The same Hardwork just in a different setting kudos to the young man doing this video love the boots and the shorts that’s how I live. Continued success to you there is nothing better than the satisfaction of doing a job well and the memories you have made!
