    Ive got to say and I dont want to insult you but your boning out leaves a lot to be desired….. I would get sacked if I boned out that dirty…. Maybe you’re boning out that way just for the video…. Also they were the strangest cuts of meat Ive ever seen….. how could you make money with so much meat going to burgers? Im not trolling you by the way I still enjoyed the video.

      How do you like it? Do you find it to big for your two cows? We are looking at getting one for our 3 cows.

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is too much for two cows. I bought it when I had 4 cows and wanted to sell milk. Should be good for 3 cows. I sold it last summer when I went to two cows. Worked great and chilled the milk quickly.

    we put down hay couple yrs ago and planted, but nothing came up. Can we use the same hay and try again? Do you recommend adding something to the hay? thank you

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      My hay is from the lean-to where the cows spend the winter, so it has manure mixed in. This gives them enough fertility and moisture in the spring and the ground never really dries out in the summer so I don't water them. Your hay should be fine if it's old and moist. Seems like your seed potatoes may have been eaten by mice or just rotted. They usually start even in poor soil.

    Those "2 steaks"... flat iron and who cuts a Mocktender into steaks? Is it good? Also get that grizzle out of the center of the flat iron , they puff up while grilling and man sooo good

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Now I just put them in the grind pile. They are tender but the flavor is not all that impressive and since I can't sell any meat it really doesn't matter that my burger is made of cuts worth $15/pound retail. Growing and butchering for yourself is very liberating. Thanks for commenting.

    @MyTopdogs 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this video . I am wondering about the surge Milker . I am try to get my hands on one but none seem to have the pump with them . Would any pulse pump Work ? Newbie alert . Or do you have any suggestions of what to look for ?

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I got mine at Hamby dairy supply online as a kit and the vacuum pump was included. It should work fine with any pump that is regulated at 12-15 inches of vacuum and has about 3cfm flow rate. HVAC vacuum pumps look like they would meet the requirements and are pretty cheap. The pump I have is a Conde long life and sells separately for over $1000. Last I checked the HVAC was under $100. Probably will get one as an emergency back up.

    Hello sir, do u make a hole in the soil or do u plant just on top of the soil your potatoes? Also could u tell me which other crops's shoots can poke through hay? Thanks alot!

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I make a hole through the hay into the dirt a little bit, but the seed potatoes just basically sit at the soil level. Garlic will push through the hay easily and so will tulips. Anything with a bulb or tuber will. The rest of my transplants need the hay pulled back a little and they get planted in the soil.

    When you did this, did you plant directly onto hay? Or did you plant in dirt and just deep mulched over with hay? Thx

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I planted through the hay down to the soil level and then added a few more inches of hay mulch on top. Before it settled it was about a foot deep.

  • @idahoelkhunter2856
    @idahoelkhunter2856 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice, I’m going to try this method this coming year. I’ve got lots of used hay and manure from my barn. I’m in a high desert are where temps get 100+ in mid summer. Only question is how do you water? Do you use sprinkler, drip, or just let the hose run on them. Also how much, keep it moist all the time without molding? Thanks for the video..👍

    • @middleveldfarm7736
      @middleveldfarm7736 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't water my garden at all because my spring well dries up by mid summer and I have to haul town water till the fall. Even on a dry year the soil stays moist and the plants grow well. Not sure how moisture gets back in the ground under the hay, but I think it wicks in overnight. If I could water them I would just use a hose with no sprayer.
