[QUOTE="dutchcowboy, post: 1000784, member: 14752"] Thanks for your replys, @ cowgirl jenna , No I don't milk my cows. Just like to have some cows on tie stalls. Its good for their docility and you can them calve during the winter. My barn is not so big (6 x 12 meters) and in this way their fits 11 cows in it. About 30 years ago every (dairy)farmer had this system. From 10 to 80 cows. Today there are left a few farmers with large barns(freewheel, sorry for my english) whit 80 to 600 cows in it. The corn bales are made with exact that machine what yo can see in the link (thanks for that) The chopped corn is brought to the farm and shoveld in the baler, it spits out a 40 bales per hour. The corn must be a bit dryer like when you make a normal silagepile. @greybeard, This is the only pure simmi(fleckvieh) cow on the farm, bought it from a dairyfarmer who kickt this one out for lack of milk (15 liters a day), calf only uses the front teats. One hour after the calf is born I like to milk the cow and give the calf the colostrum, just to be sure the calf had enough. The first calver only had 0,5 liter, the one with the twins is on my cull list so i don't like when she loosing to much weight. Greets, Jeroen. [/QUOTE]
