Hello broter

Am I understanding this right… you’re not feeding hay “free choice” but just giving them rations? I’d love to hear more about this…

Could you share the link to what you pour over your girl’s feed to prevent milk fever?

I can totally relate to not getting cows bred back “on time” haha. AND I also DESPISE the teat dip cups!! Ha! This was so fun to see!!! Congrats!!!

Thanks for showing us what a micro dairy is like. Much different from the large scale operations but more like how farming used to be when everyone was self sufficient.

Fascinating to see your small operation, I grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin with a 30 cow herd, at that time we were on the small side for our area, quite the contrast, lol. Originally my dad used a milking bucket that was held up by a strap that went over the cows back. After a few years he remodeled the barn and installed a pipeline.

ARE YOU HIRING

Well, Mrs. Smith, you are simply full of good information! I don’t plan on getting any cows but I’ve always heard that since cows are ‘herd’ animals, that they don’t like being alone. What’s your opinion on that?

Loved that you filmed the birth hopfully you will do more if you can my favorite thing on utube is watching animal births!

Nice video. They'll be more irritating at first, but try feeding the cats when you are finished, at an area away from that barn. I agree premilking routines do help cows let down because they are very much creatures of habit. Milking can be slow or quick depending on the routine we give them. Sounds like your cow is getting a nice new home. Glad for you both!

Hello Mrs.Smith, good job. Greetings from the Czech Republic. I just started with two heifers to microdairy too. So I'm looking for inspiration for a milking stanchion and so on..

Like your TH-cam channel Watching from Sweden 🇸🇪

🐄 👍

I watched the birth on your short this morning so I skipped it on this one and went to the cool part where mom is licking her baby.😎Very interesting, Mrs. Smith. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

That was me

الحياة غي الريف جميلة 😊لكن ممله جدا😮 ورائحة الحيوانات لا اتحملها 😢 لكن اتمنى لك التوفيق يا جدتي

Need a neighbor like you

Ms Smith can you make a cow birthing video p

Here's an idea just put a body camera on and videotape your day

Great video

your camera is dusty

what a wonder u are good on u from durham uk which county u in?

Your cows seem to stand good. I have a jersey. She is 4 maybe 5 now. I have to chain her feet. She will kick.

Good information , Mrs. Smith. Looks like your business is growing. Those cats were driving me crazy when you were milking but didn’t seem to borrow you at all. 😎

I have this machine and I’m new at it. How do you reduce the suction when it’s time to detach? And the how do you reattach quickly for the second set of teats? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Naw - the horse wouldn't have kicked her there - have the dairy cow out with the horses a lot - they don't fret so much - but if she's after having it twice, then be careful - depending on her age - it might be now sub-clinical and will recur a fair amount - you might not like the antibiotics, but next time around it might be an idea to treat her as well as doing the milking out just to get it cleared out completely. There's then a product called Herbamass which is for mastitis and isn't antibiotic etc - and is meant to have decent results - it's a drench given orally - not sure if you can get that there - it's worth having a few in date ones just to use at that early stage or at birth. Sod knows how it works in humans - but good luck with the cow - they are, likely easier - and you can get dip strips to check for the milk - they are great easy ways to check on the process. Sure it can be done and Jersey's are a bit prone to it - might be worth breeding out a couple of calves to something else to just go through and keep her healthy on there too :) Lovely to see your farm there :)

You’ve got some good workers there.

You are one busy lady. I gave up on being organized years ago.😅Every time I make out a list I forget where I put it. Cheers to you.

Hi! I messaged you on Facebook about needing milk! My boyfriend went to school with you and suggested I reach out!

You are a believer in raw milk ha

Raw milk doesn't have the same shelf life as pasteurized milk, but one can still use it for other purposes if it sours. It is not harmful to use it.

I think dad got the short end of the stick on that job!

Thanks for the great information!

We had a jersey milk cow in 90s when all the kids were home. Now I have milk goats because my husband and I can’t drink enough milk to warrant a cow. I loved the way we could use the milk in the past for cheese and butter and sour cream, and all the things! I’m glad your heifer is doing well.

Your baby is beautiful! Congratulations 🎊

That went very well. Yay 🎊 🎉 I happy for you.

I’m from bentonville unfortunately all they do in northwest Arkansas is tear down farmland and build apartments and subdivisions I moved down to Hartford Arkansas You can possibly sell your land since it’s worth way more up there and buy land 25 minutes south of fort smith and buy 80 acres just a thought

You should promote your channel on other social media as well to gain an audience.

Awwwwwwww
