My favorite Farm items!
Calf bottle amzn.to/2Hypa3A
Tie the hind legs of the nurse cow (loosely) while the calf is suckling.
This is how they do it in India. I saw them on TH-cam.
Give the nurse cow grain (with additional molasses) to sweeten her suckling experience when she accepts the calf. This will encourage and train her to be a good nurse cow.

I was like you 60yrs ago this will make you a big cattle /dairy farmer now I am a Butcher retired South Africa
heres a suggestion.....have a draw for a subscriber to be chosen for a full day tour of your farm plus the chance to meet the calves, maybe play with them. If its not expensive, put them up at the local holiday inn for a couple nights. With the # of commercials on your videos, the sponsors could pay for the airplane trip and hotel in exchange for use of their ads,
Well done! Good choice to offer the calves a new mom.🐂🐂

Life on the farm is a daily reality check.
It's a shame that over the years fewer and fewer people have within themselves what it takes to tackle the responsibilities and long hours..
Without Farmers we would ALL be Starving, Naked and Afraid.
Thank You.
That was really good that your cow took those two calves that quick. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. But I’ve never seen it happen that fast.
Don't give them a full bucket of milk to start with give them half and work your way up to a full one to. Doing it will help them not get scours and give them plenty of hay. Not trying to tell you what to do but giving tips to help. I learn that info from my grandad along time ago
Good move! Thanks for showing
Awesome videos you've made here mate! Great job! Sorry to hear/see about the birth defect in the calf there, I see you truely love your calves and cattle there. Seems to me valves can get a really rough ride in regards to abuse sadly, your animals will NEVER truly know just how blessed they are to be with you there hey! Anyway, wish you the very best with your endeavours there
Kind regards!
how absolutely wonderful that she accepted them
Hahaha you were thanking everyone for making it to 2000 subs! You are now at 44.4K.... great job man! I would much rather watch videos like this over regular TV. Keep up the good work and I hope it's paying off for you!!!

Above is link to powder till I found this when we had cows I had 50-50 luck this made me and people around me have good luck 70-90% just depending on the yr and set of cows we had at time
I know this will sound gross, but if you could wipe/scent the dead carcuss of the momma cows calf onto the orphans, would that trick her into thinking they would be her calves? thus easier to give milk to them?
You've got good content and not ramble on and on like other related channels. Also a good teacher.
Both calves were very hungry. Please don't stole calves from their mother.
Great video!! I’m going to be grafting a few calf’s after my heifers calve next spring. I don’t have a chute but it’s nice to see that there’s a possibility that it won’t be to difficult. Thanks for sharing!
Like I said in the video, it normally doesn't happen that easy but about half of the ones we try end up working out. Occasionally we have to keep them together for 5-6 days before they actually except them. Hopefully it works out for you!
Thanks for watching
You are man.....thank you kindly! You do a great job my friend!!👍
I always kept the liquid replacers at a minimum. They will not starve.seemed to help my calves
Great video love your videos brings me back to my old farm days keep the videos coming
Glad you enjoyed them. Ill do my best to keep them coming!
Thanks!
Thanks
Really good heifer!!! Wow....
Good job. Good results. You are quite the patient young man.
Any ideas about why the birth defects so close together? Heifers possibly graze teratogenic plants or exposed to modified live BVD vaccines?
Cici Bradley We aren’t sure. We know it is most likely not plants because we have had 20 others calve without problems and these two groups have been together for 3 months. We contacted the head of the sale we purchased them from and described the defects to him. He responded with “yes that’s an issue we occasionally come across when crossing certain angus lines.” But that’s all he would say.
Awesome video ... That moma is good mom .. In future you can buy some powder and sprinkle on the calves back for in future when you want to do more this I have seen guys graft a lot claves whith that powder before ..the cow licks power and most time when she is done she excepts the calf .
Interesting! We haven't ever tried it, but since @jonathan Tarrant mentioned it too, Ill have to try it out!
Just found your videos recently and I'm really enjoying them! Loved watching those calves frisk about!
It always makes my day! Thanks for watching!
Messiah
Aww you did an awesome job dude!!
LET THE BABIES OUT JUST TO RUN AROUND FOR A BIT
Good job young man it never goes that easy
Almost 51k
Awesome video! Your Instagram link doesn't seem to work in the description. I'd like to see a breakdown on raising commercial cows. The finacials on a per cow and also where/how do you sell them?? Thanks for sharing #Vlarmer *~Nate*
H2OK Farm yeah I’m trying to figure out why the link doesn’t work. But you can just search irenkoski and find me on there. I personally can’t do a good breakdown of commercial cows because my dad keeps track of most of that. But I can give an estimate!
Okay..I found you and followed. Thank you.
your link should look like this:
instagram.com/irenkoski/
That should work
I enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Woo! Now you have 3,212 subs :D
😮
👍
Keep up on the videos there good
Right....usually not that easy especially with a heifer! Good Job!
Yep I was really surprised!
Hi
Great video those are cute caves
Is the intestines wrapped around his legs? That’s probably why his legs developed like that it cut off circulation. What do u do with the calf’s that pass away?
Great job getting her to adopt those cute red calves, I like the red ones! Thanks again for all the extra work so we can tag along, I wish I could be your farm hand for a day or a week etc etc!
Excellent work,grafting calves can be a challenge with beef cows but be persistent if any issues. I like to have a nice quiet milker for grafting babies and never had an issue.
Keep up the good work.
How old is that really old cow of yours? I remember my Grandparents would keep some of their cows until they were about 20 or so. If they kept having calves, they were worth keeping!
I worked for a vet a few years ago and we pulled a calf out of a Hereford cow that looked like a pig. Strangest thing I’ve ever seen and of course it was dead when we pulled it.
Congrats! Didn't have any luck finding you on Instagram. The link wouldn't take me there
I don't know why it doesn't work. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, you can just search irenkoski on instagram and I should show up. Sorry about that, I'll try to figure out whats wrong with it.
I watch him too, but he chose not to show the real deal, just the good only
Use baking soda her calf scours
did you spray them with calf claim or anything perfume? so that she would take them like she did
I didn't do anything special. I just put her in the chute and brought the calves over. It is rare that a heifer would accept a calf thats not hers (even more rare for two). If the cow is not accepting them, we occasional take the skin off of the her dead calf and tie it over the back of the calf we are trying to graft onto her. We have mixed results but occasionally that works for us. I personally dont want to spend money on special stuff because I personally dont think they would help that much, but I could be totally wrong.
Thanks for watching!
Wait why do all your vids have !
Wow that normally don't work. Hope she will accept. Keep us posted.
try to buy beef cattle they sell for more
What is your Instagram?
I subscribe from Abby
Ever considered running a full time jersey cow so your not using replacer? Any problems with something like that?
KevinG We actually do have a Holstein cow that we use as a nurse cow, but she produces in the fall. You can make a lot more money running nurse cows, but I personally don’t have the money to purchase full grown cows right now. That is something I am working towards because you can raise 3-4 calves per cow.
JTS you should work for a dairy farmer and ask for an old cow he didn't want anymore
You have so much calves 😊
I had a deformed calf just like that born last spring also from a cow I paid quite a bit for Always disappointing when that kind of thing happens
Yeah its really frustrating, especially when the seller won't get back with you.
JTS I was told it was something that I did and was no fault of the seller and basically just to bad I won’t be buying anymore cows from that guy
9:03 to 9:06 LOLOL
take me on your farm
Sorry is your farm based on dairy or beef
It’s mainly a beef operation but I just tried raising dairy calves as another source of income.
Buy*
Zack, I was raised on a dairy farm and admire your spunk in raising your calves. I'm sure you have other farm chores and I know you go to college. You're gonna make it big one day. Be sure to take some business classes so you can take care of the bean counting part of your endeavor, too. Good luck and I'll be watching..
Thanks for the encouragement! And I am currently getting an Animal Science Major and a minor in ag business. Although my business classes haven’t taught me much...
Cute twins. So is this a good calving year for you?
It has been a good year for the 15 heifers we kept back, they all calved fine and the calves are doing great. But the 10 heifers we bought from a quality sale have been having problems. I don't know why but they just arent producing like they should for what we paid for them. Kind of a bummer but there is not much we can do. But we still have about 60 calves that should be dropping calves very soon! Thanks!
Trees Climbing Gear my dad always said you can never buy cattle as good as your own and that turned out true when we bought 4 heifers 1 didn't go in calf 1 got a bad jaw infection almost died but the other 2 have been excellent
A tip when doing the replacement with calves, skin the dead calf and place that skin on the new calf, tie it on she will smell it and think it’s hers
How satisfying that she accepted them
