Feeding the Cows | Barn Work on a Small Dairy Farm
We mix feed for our cows every day, before or during afternoon milking. We use Trioliet Gigant 700, self-loading feed mixer, to mix TMR which consists of grass and corn silage, hay and some other ingridients which can vary from month to month. Usually we use dry corn and canola, and in this video also pumpkin pomace. We also add vitamins and minerals mixture to feed.
Silage is stored in silage pits.
In addition to TMR, the cows also get some hay on top. Hay is stored above the barn, in bulk.
When the cows come out of the milking parlor, they pick their place and with the help of locks, (red levers mechanism in the video) they stay there. This prevents the cows from chasing each other away. They remain locked for about half an hour after milking, then we let them go so they can walk freely around the barn.
Thanks for watching!

Farmer's POV (Point of View) is a channel where I want to share videos of different chores that are going on on our small family farm in Slovenia.
We have 60 heads of cattle, mainly simmetal breed and we milk about 35 of them. We farm in a fairly hilly area so our equpment is relatively small. Currently we own 4 tractors: Fiat DT55-56, New Holland TN70DA, Deutz Fahr Agroplus 85 and John Deere 5085M.
We work around 20 hectares of mainly grass fields and about 2,5 hectares for silage corn.
We also have 7 hectares of forest.
Seeing you working on the Heuboden(E: Haylooft) makes me really desperate for summer! Hearing the farmer in the morning mowing the grass field watching him while breakfast. Knowing it's gonna be a beautiful day... When the grass is dry grabbing a box or two full for our rabbits storing it in the garage, knowing its gonna smell amazing. Watching the farmer baling the hay with the big machinery build for performance. Kniwing thats all part of what our civilization is build on. I hope you and your family are having a good weekend!
Thats very nice, well said 🙂👍 Thanks, you too 🙂

@@farmerspov4709 Good morning, do you need volunteers? Thank you
Kot ponavadi, pospravljeno, pometeno, zrihtano. 💪🏻🤝
Simple farm and the Cows in very good condition
I saw in you an image of myself years ago, working the small dairy. Only difference, I lacked much of the facilities you have. God speed, world needs people as you.
That's nice, thank you very much 🙂
This is my dream bro🥲
Same brother 😊
What is ? To work on a farm ? I never have but I have an opportunity too and I’d love to start doing so
日本 (Japan) からです。 日々の 作業をとても丁寧にしていますね。 同業者です。 見入ってました!!
Looks Simple and the cows look happy, healthy
Ljubljana, Slovenija 💪❤️

Wow everyone giving u thumbs down tell them to kiss your ass and watch something else love your videos keep up good work stay safe
Haha yeah 😁 thanks 🙂
Farming must pay better with you than over in England nice kit you have over there credit to you our small farms have to make do and mend old kit, your government must think more of you farmers than ours,all the best 👍
Yeah he's got some newer tractors and machines but I don't think they'd cost anything like the modern tech ones. I see a smart farmer here, new enough machines to work but still cheap, the buildings seem basic or old fashioned which would also be cheaper. Being smart with your money is the way to farming
Yeah, there are a lot of small farms in Slovenia which work some tough land, so we get some help from goverment and EU but I would think its simmilar in all European countries because of the low sell prices. 🤔 As Kieran said, you gotta be smart with expenses on small farms. I would imagine though, that UK farmers are held on the line as well 🙄
@@farmerspov4709 small farms over here usually the wife has to go to work or the farmer has a part time job
@@cumbriafarmer6258 yeah its the same here. On our farm I'm the only one full time working on a farm, my dad also had a second job when he was a farm manager. There are many farmers that have to have a second job to keep their farms running... 🙄

Greetings from Slovenia 🙂
@@farmerspov4709 Farmer it's a life style.... I was running away but never said that I will never will be a Farmer,but life said that's the best what you can do... So from this year i started my own beef farm... Why beef? My parents in law has 40 heads . 20 milking cows... 21eur cent per liter... Diesel 1.2eur... to prepare food for cow's need min 3000 eur for winter... That's why i not choice millk farm... Wish you good luck with the farming...
@@mariusezerskis7795 thats true 🙂 yes, I understand 👍 I wish you all the best 🙂

Truly lovely - thank you
Greatest video I have seen on KZhead aside from one that has every goal by Ronaldo.
Haha well thank you, that's something 😁
Nice 👌 work I like u ❤️
Thanx for sharing 😊😊😊
Thanks for watching 🙂 👍
Love your videos. You are so well organized. No wasted steps.
Thanks, yeah I try to be 😅
Wow, great video! Some of your duties are quite labour intensive. You must sleep well at night after moving the hay from the back of the loft to the front of the feed area. I'm pleased you had some help with the milking, otherwise you would have had to keep leaving your jobs to change the cups over
Thanks 🙂 yeah you're right, it does help a man to fall asleep quickly 😁 yes, I've tried that once and it wasnt fun 😬😀

Haha, yes, thank you 😄
@@farmerspov4709 your welcome...Know all about farming...from California 👍🏻
Nice, greetings from the other side of the pond 😉
being your own boss sounds good in theory .. but then you understand the responsibility involved.
That's true 👍
I always wanted to have a place like this, but it would be nice even if it wasn't such a luxurious barn.
🙂 Well ours isn't nothing special but it works good 😉

Hehe yeah I agree, I should use external microphone 😀
Thanks for the video
Very nice and very good
Very look ✨✨💯❤❤❤❤
Hey that is the same mixer we have, tho ours is a lot, a lot more beat up, and isn't nearly as new. I actuly made a wirelses remore for ours that allowed you to move around while you were taking in silage, that was a nice edition. And we also do out bunks the same as you gras on the bottom at corn on the top, it relly helps with mold and saves on time.
Cool 🙂 nice, that sounds like great addition! 😀 Yeah, I guess its not very common way but it works good 🙂
You live in Paradise my friend 🙏🏻
Your farm always looks so nice and tidy it’s a credit to you 😁
Thank you 😄

Great video, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much
very good 1 employee can take care of 500 to 1000 cows. amazingly good ... if in my country Indonesia 10 cows there are 4 employees waste.
Dont know about that, I have my hands full taking care of 60 cows 😅
Bas dobra farma svaka ti cast
Hvala 🙂
I've never seen a mixer like that, it's pretty neat.
Yeah, it works great 🙂
Il se fait beaucoup de travail qui serrait plus simple à vous un télescopique
Yeah, adding feed to the mix would be easier 😁
Sizi Türkiye'den takip ediyorum, çok güzel bir çiftliğiniz var. Kolaylıklar diliyorum.
Başarılı bir işletme 👍
Thank you 🙂
Good video I am from Pakistan
Thanks, greetings to Pakistan 🙂
Beautiful

A dairy farm with beef cows? Hmmm that’s a bold strategy
Very happy I ran across your channel. Raised on a dairy farm, I appreciate seeing how other countries dairy. Very interesting equipment and I'm amazed how you put up hay in the barn. Great channel and keep up the awesome work.
Thank you, I'm happy you ran across my channel as well 😀
@@farmerspov4709 I'm I correct thinking maybe Germany? Just guessing. What breeds do you milk
Nope, Slovenia 😉 simmentals and brownswiss 🙂
@@farmerspov4709 do you sell your bull calves like most US diaries do. Also seen you have a boar and deer problem, do you hunt them? Being from Montana, I'm always thinking hunting
Yes 🙂 yeah they're causing us some problems but you cant hunt them unless you are member of a hunting society 😉
You have some lovely cows! It looks a long way to fork the hay now 🤦🏻♂️ You have to use the hay vacuum and use it to blow the other way 🤣🤪
Thanks 🙂 Yep 😅 haha, you're right, just have to figure out how... Maybe if I flip the electro-motor upside down... 🙃😁
@@farmerspov4709 just turn the wires round on the motor 🤷♂️🤣🤣
Riiight! 😎👍
