Irish Dairy Farm: MILKING ROUTINE
Hey guys, welcome back to our channel! We really hope you enjoy this milking routine. We shot this video over a couple of different days (see how many differences you can spot!), so that we could get lots of different viewpoints for you guys. Hopefully you'll get an idea of what it feels like to milk in our parlour with us.
As we mentioned in our Milking Parlour tour video, we have a 20-unit Boumatic Gascoigne milking parlour with swing over arms and ACRs. We have a circular collecting yard with a backing gate, and manual drafting. Our wash cycle is manual. We've a 13,300L bulk tank with auto-wash.
Let us know in the comments if there is anything else around the farm you would like to see, especially if you're not from Ireland and there is anything that really interests you. We really hope you're enjoying the farm videos so far.
Please give this video a big thumbs up if you enjoyed it and hit subscribe, that would mean a lot to us.
Lots of love,
PK, MK & Freya xx

Wow!!! Such a good milking!!!!!! MILK!
Super 👌 chlapec šikovný
Wow! You have an amazing set up. Very efficient. The gates used to move the cattle around are well thought out. I see they have pastured in the good weather, but how are they housed in the winter? How big is your farm? How many do you milk and how many replacement heifers? Do you use AI or do you have bulls on sight? Anyway, very impressive and a pleasure to watch. Thank you for posting.
Fantastic video's guys. Great facilities and well laid out 👍
Thanks a million Pádraig 😊👍🏼
Nice....hygienic farm
Great to see your video. I saw that the milking machine itself moved away from the cow's udders. How did this happen? Is there a timer?
Great set-up guys, but i bet it frecking freezing milking in there in winter, too open to the elements for me, how do you go on for freezing up in winter?
interesting video ,very clean farm
I want to go there for farms job Ireland.
Miss yere videos they were brill
Nice, How many timer for day? 2 ir 3?
Good video, how many cows are you milking?
What do you do with cows in rainy season, I mean you taking them out ???
Great video. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙💯💯❤
Thanks a million, so glad you liked it 😄
Great video. The cleanliness and tidy ness of the yard is a credit to you. How do you find the Gascogne parlour? Where abouts in Ireland?
Thanks a million! 😄 We try to keep it as best we can, some days are tidier than others 😅 We like it, it’s a fairly simple parlour and it doesn’t give much bother. We’re based in the midlands!
I am going to work. How long does it take to learn bro?
Hello. I am going to go to Ireland, work on a dairy in Fennor Ardcath region, near Dublin. I would like to know about living condition. Where do farm workers live?
Sweet ,you definitely did your homework.this should be cookie cutter set up for young people who want to be successful making grass milk.
Thank you Chuck 😄 There was a lot of time spent looking at parlours before we put in our current system. It’s all copied from other farmers so we can’t take much credit but thank you 🤗
Lovely farm , fair play to ye. Curious to know what you were doing with the foam when you marked the cow?
Thanks a mil Seán 🤗 Oh yes we use the shaving foam to mark the cow for drafting out. We’re breeding at the moment so we find the foam handier than using coloured sprays to mark the cows for AI. The foam will just fall off after she’s been drafted out 😄
nice dairy farm in Ireland # but if U have explanied the functions of dairy farm & its machines instaed of music it would be lot better # ❤️🇵🇰
How much it would take to milk 280 animals alone
WHAT IS THE SIZE OF FARM? HOW MANY ANIMALS ARE ?
Is so like a nz dairy farm and I see u got kaiwaka she’d aprons hanging up, but the shed so needs a water blast!
Yes Pádraig worked in NZ on a dairy farm so brought a lot of ideas back from there when setting up the farm here. Absolutely you’re right, it could do with a good cleaning down 😊
How to apply ma'am??
Which place in uk
👍👌🇨🇦❤, new sub, what is it with cows and video cameras, they seem to like them, very clean setup,
Thanks for following along with us 🤗 I agree, they love the screen time! Thank you 😄

How long Does it take you to milk.
It takes us about 2 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the evening at peak production. At the moment it’s about 1.5 hours in the morning and just over an hour in the evening because we’re down to six rows 😊
I'm interested to work as dairy farm worker
Hi Roy. Glad to hear you’re interested in working on a dairy farm. We currently don’t have any vacancies on our farm but I’m sure if you searched for dairy farming jobs in Ireland there should be lots of opportunities. Best of luck with the job search 😊
Hello. I am one of the people who like to work in cow farms and drive tractors, so I want to ask you if you need workers to work in the farm, thank you for your interest.👍
I want to apply for job ❤
Fine cows you have mainly friesian?
Thanks Will 😄 Two thirds of the herd are FR and the other third are crossbreds (Jersey & Norweigan Red)
Hi
What milking palour do ye is it delavel or dairy master
Hey Jack! We have a Boumatic Gascoigne milking parlour 😊
Hi sir.... I am ezhilarasan... Your company any fram of job vacancy...
Why don't u post much on KZhead anymore
Dairy farmers have no regard for water charges hahah. A lot of water used like. Could you tell us how much litres of water are used per liter of milk produced. Ive never been on a dairy farm they all use a lot of water I'm sure
If they use 50-100liters doing washing which is required by law. That's a small price to pay for clean conditions... In terms of how much water is used per liter of milk well the water don't just disappear when a cow pee or when the milk is drank. So technically less than 1 liter of water is what 1 liter of milk is.
On our farm we use 5.6 liters of water per 1 liter of milk. Including drinking water for cows and young cattle, cleaning (all cleaning work), private water consumption, ...etc.
@@peteri.5264 its cool that you know that. Took a year for to get that stat, thanks
Why did you paint one cow WHITE? and some had RED paint on them.
The cows marked with white are the cows that we draft out during milking. The red paint is for breeding. We paint it on their back & it helps us find out when the cows are ready for breeding 😄
Keane Farm Life I see. Is this color coding a standardised practise or something that you find works best for you. We are a dairy farmers based in Pakistan, and I love to learn new procedures from others.
Hello kean i do this work at low cost because I have passion for cows and I have a diploma in animal production and management.
They mark them so they don't lose them.
FARM TECHNOLOGY COW MILK
Any kicking cows
No not really to be honest, we’d have the odd one that might move around a bit but once the heifers are trained in we generally don’t get too much hassle.
Are you milking jersey friesan cross cows
Yes we milk a mix of Holstein-Friesian, Jersey cross and Norweigan Red Cross cows. About two thirds of the herd are Holstein-Friesian and the rest are crossbreds 😊
Keane Farm Life that’s good love your content keep up the good work
@@lfcfan2490 Thanks a million Ultan, that's great to hear!
And did ye just start out
Pádraig converted the home farm to dairying in 2014 and started out with 45 in-calf heifers. We have been very lucky with grants & the opportunity to lease additional ground. This has allowed us to build up to the numbers we have today. I'm hoping to record a farm information video this week so I'll put the history of the farm in that. Let us know if you'd like to know anything else :)
beautiful setup.it is such a shame you didn't put in proper feeders .a 40 year investment.and i know you will say it was cost.but get them in as soon as possible.cheers.wish you luck.im from cork.
Thank you very much Maurice 😊 Thanks a million for your comment & the heads up on the feeders, we’ll keep that in mind. Hope all is well in Cork at the moment, mind yourself 🤗
@@keanefamilyfarm thanks for yourreply.im 65 an going great thank god..80 cows...
No problem. That’s great to hear. Hope your cows are milking well for you at the moment Maurice 😊
Can I contact to you for some questions regarding diary farming please? Can you give email?
Jods
Can I please have a job
How many cows do you milk
We milk 140 cows at the moment, which is 7 rows in our milking parlour. It's the ideal number for us from a grass and facilities point of view.
What time do ye start in the morning and finish in the evening what are ye at now
We start morning milking at 6am and evening milking at 3pm so we’re usually finished up somewhere between 5pm - 5.30pm. It’s breeding at the moment so that’s our main focus but we’re also reseeding a couple of paddocks & making some silage bales. Plenty to keep us busy 😊
What do you think the first person to milk a cow was actually trying to do
verry beautifull, verry good work,id you need help please call me! love it
