SO SMART

IT’S SIMPLE. T6 Auto Command™ tractors from New Holland offer the most intuitive, easy-to-use operation available. The revolutionary, award-winning Auto Command™ Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) gives you seamless speed changes to match your application.

To change speed or direction, simply utilize the CommandGrip™ multi-function controller.

That’s SMART. • Fully adjustable Sidewinder II armrest with CommandGrip™ lever for precision control of eight different functions • Spacious, ultra-quiet Horizon™ cab with redesigned layout for day-long productivity • Clean-running NEF 4-cylinder engine with proven SCR technology ™

The Super Boom cab provides ample leg and foot room. Visibility is excellent in all directions. To the front, the threshold is lower for better sightlines to the bucket edge, and you have a clear view to the bucket at full height by looking through a see-through area of the roof. Rear visibility is best in class with the large rear window, low engine hood and no rear frame towers to get in your way. Work the SMART way with a New Holland skid steer. ™

SUPERIOR COMFORT. SMART. New Holland 200 Series skid steer loaders are the SMART way to work, offering operators the most comfort and the best visibility.

• Optional sealed and pressurized cab with heat and air conditioning • Glide ride option for a smoother ride • Hydraulic quick coupler option for fast attachment changes • Quick servicing with daily checkpoints under rear hood and door, and if full access is needed, the entire cab tilts forward

IDENTIFY

Easy as 1-2-3!

MONITOR

1. Strip small amount (1 or 2 squirts) of pre- or post-milk from 1 quarter into the funnel at top of unit. Wipe teats before stripping the sample.

changes in milk conductivity linked to changes in somatic cell counts (SCC). suspect individuals and cows freshening between DHIA tests.

MAS-D-TEC® measures conductivity

- FAST -

to identify affected quarters.

Operates on a 9-volt battery (included).

2. Wait a few seconds for LED display to light up. A reading in White: no concern. A reading in Red: suspect mastitis. Repeat previous steps with the next quarter to be checked.

3. The whole process takes 5 seconds per quarter. The introduction of each new milk sample effortlessly purges previous sample.

Why these producers rely on Mas-D-Tec “... so easy to use in the parlor.” Lonnie Palmer

Lonnie Palmer (left) has 275 cows at Pigeon Cove Farms, Warfordsburg, Pa. and works to keep SCC at 140,000.

“Mas-D-Tec is a great screening tool; so easy to use in the parlor,” he says. “Mas-D-Tec and Udder Comfort are part of our quality management.”

“...keep mastitis at bay.”

MaryEllen Row Mas-D-Tec has been extremely helpful checking for subclinical mastitis,” says Mary Ellen Row (right), of Row Family Farm, Osseo, Wis., milking 130. I’ve been using it a lot to keep mastitis at bay, especially during this rainy season we are having in Wisconsin.

Extra mud never helps the cows and Mas-D-Tec is a quick and easy way to stay on top of SCC. I check conductivity on any cow I think has a problem and definitely fresh cows.”

“... easily able to monitor what we are doing.”

Bob Traynor The Mas-D-Tec is Bob Traynor’s go-to item for monitoring 120 Holsteins milking at Honeycrest Farms, Spring Valley, Wis. “Our Mas-D-Tec monitoring and consistent use of Udder Comfort for fresh cows and prefresh heifers have played a big role in getting SCC under 200,000,” says Bob (left). “We check fresh cows a few days after calving to get a baseline. Cows with high readings get Udder Comfort after each of the next 3 to 4 milkings and we re-check. It pays.”

“... pinpoints problems.”

Courtney Biggs “We do not want to be without this tool,” says Courtney Biggs (right), manager of Chapel Hill Creamery Farm, Easton, Md. “We use the Mas-D-Tec to check fresh cows and any on the DHI ‘hot list’. It pinpoints problems, so we can make decisions and take action.”

Continued from OYSTERS | Page 34 The re department was able to save the milkhouse and pulled the roof off the old double-6 swing parlor.

“I was concerned how we were going to milk the cows that morning,” Oyster said.

“But they were able to save enough of the parlor and put poles in where we needed and a makeshift roof over it so we could keep using it.”

Neighbors came to help the Oysters.

“Their help was appreciated,” Oyster said. “It was unbelievable.”

After deciding to continue dairy farming, the Oysters knew they had to rebuild.

There was an open spot not far from the barn that would be the perfect place.

“My intention for that spot before the re was to actually build a new parlor,” Oyster

said. “I don’t think I would have built one at all if we wouldn’t have had the re.”

Oyster started looking at different parlor set ups to nd the one that worked best for him.

“We wanted to look at as many as we could to make the right decision for us,” Oyster said.

The family decided on the double-9 swing parallel parlor.

“I really like the parallel parlors,” Oyster said. “It is harder to get kicked by a cow in that set up. Plus it was simpler and saved on space.”

Crews started to build the new parlor building three weeks after the re on Sept. 1, 2004, which contained a break room, laundry room, ofce and milkhouse. But the Oysters built their own parlor.

“It was simple enough to

Inside the new freestall barn, Oyster added freestalls for the older heifers to get them used to the stalls before they enter the milking herd.

The Oysters tore down the original parlor and milkhouse to build a 56-stall freestall barn with a maternity pen in its place (pictured above). make that we did it ourselves,” Oyster said.

They even used some of the same units, but had to get three more new ones. They also replaced the vacuum pump, some pulsators and added a second 1,000-gallon bulk tank.

While building the new barn, the Oysters built it to prevent a future re.

“It made us more cons about those types of things,” Oyster said. “We made sure the wiring was done safer and no wiring was in the attics.”

In the meantime, the Oysters were milking in their original xed up parlor until Dec. 4, 2004.

“It was cold before we started milking the cattle in the new parlor,” Oyster said. “Before, we were milking in the great outdoors since there were no walls on most of the original parlor.”

The following summer, the family tore down the old parlor and milkhouse to build an additional 56-stall freestall barn with a maternity pen in its place.

The new freestall barn also contained some freestalls for the older heifers. “ It works well for them,” Oyster said. “It helps train them in, so they are used to the stalls when they enter the milking herd.”

Since then, the family has also built a calf barn and converted their old commodity barn into a heifer barn. To replace the converted barn, the Oysters built a different commodity shed and hay shed.

For a while, the family was milking up to 160 cows, but recently sold close to 100 cows, bringing them back down to about 66 cows.

“The barns were getting

too full and we have close to 85 heifers calving in during the next couple months,” Oyster said. “We had to make room for them.”

Overall, Oyster has been pleased with his newer barn and parlor.

“There are small things I would have changed. We were only three months away from being out of debt before the re, so it set us back that way.

But I am happy with how it turned out,” Oyster said. “It’s more user friendly and organized with more room.”

Despite the destruction of the re, Oyster believes it all happened for a reason.

“A re is something you never want to have happen on the farm,” Oyster said. “But for us, the end result of our re turned out better than we thought. It was a blessing in disguise.”

Theresa Zenzen Elrosa, Minn.; Stearns County 40 cows Tell us about your family: My husband, Neal, and I have 5 children- Virginia (23), Brock (21), Sydney (19), Elise (18) and Audrey (11).

Tell us about your farm: We milk 40 cows and farm 280 acres. We converted to organic farming in 1997 and started shipping milk to Organic Valley in 2000.

What’s the busiest time of day for you? Mornings are busiest with milking and feeding calves and cows, then getting meals planned and getting the housework started.

How much time do you spend doing farmwork compared to housework?

The majority of my time is spent outside.

What do you do in your freetime and why? We have a large garden so much of the summer is spent trying to keep up with the weeds and freeze and can vegetables. I would like to nd time to play piano again.

What’s the best thing about farming? Being able to raise our kids. Although we will have only one left at home this year, being there in the mornings when they get on the bus and at night when they get home has always been an important time for me.

When you look back on your life, what do you want to be remembered for? That I was responsible, caring, and honest and raised our kids to have the same morals.

Do you have any ideas that could make farming easier for you and all farming women? As the kids are almost all off to college and on to other careers, I’m thinking it would have been a good idea to have put in a request for more boys since we only have one and strategically timed them so there would always be a replacement.

Tell us your most memorable experience while dairy farming. Christmas Eve 2010, we were just about done milking and heard a loud noise. Sydney went to check the shed attached to the barn and (you guessed it) the roof had collapsed. So instead of enjoying an evening with the kids opening Christmas gifts and watching “A Christmas Story”, we spent the next four hours moving cattle with ashlights and gates. Fortunately, we only lost one heifer.
