- This is a much requested video of our daily milking routine here on the Homestead. We only milk once a day. This video shows our daily process, starting with separating the calf in the evening all the way through to milking Autumn, cleaning our equipment, and then filtering and storing our milk.
Here are affiliate links to purchase and see the equipment we are using in the video:

Getting ready to get our first family milk cow and this video was SO helpful! I’ve been watching all the videos you have posted so far on your milk cow. Thank you so much! We don’t have water at our barn either. Super helpful!
Good luck sister! Let us know if you have any questions that we may be fit to answer! God bless you!
I grew up on a farm! Enjoyed the videos! Brought back a lot of memories! My grandson is Kody! He told me about your channel!
Awe! I love that! Thank you so much for watching and tell Kody we said thank you for sharing! I hope all of our future videos can bring you just as much happiness as this one! God bless you Sandra!
We sure do love this lifestyle!
This girls are loving watching this one! Kenzies says “That’s a goat!!” 🤣🤣
That ain’t no goat! Hahahah
ROFL!
Tim O’Donnell sent me here to watch this and it was super helpful, thank you! We are just starting to milk with a machine and don’t have water at our barn yet. My husband and I were trying to figure out the best process for cleaning and hauling. It was a bit overwhelming the first time but this video gives us hope!
Tim is a close friend of ours! I’m happy he sent you this way! Having a barn with electricity and running water is super nice and helpful but not required. Just a couple of buckets and a generator will get you started! We’ve been using this method for over a year now and it works just fine! God bless you Christine!
Very cool! I can drink regular milk with no problem. But my husband became lactose intolerant a few years back and wasn’t able to have milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc. he was a huge milk guy and it was depressing for him. I recently found out that even lactose intolerant people could drink RAW milk with little to no problems and actually found a farm store near my work that sells raw milk. It’s that time of year that we’re milk sharing with the calves. The line to buy milk is almost out the door on delivery days with people waiting on the delivery truck. LOL
The reason is because it’s not true “lactose intolerance”. Few people are actually lactose intolerance, it the processing that makes it indigestible and all the other problems.
Awesome job.
This is super helpful even w the voiceover! thanks for showing all the nitty gritty even though it's not pretty :) super helpful for us newbs.
We are so glad that you like it! Whenever I was filming, I made sure to get every detail that I wanted to know whenever we were looking into milking. So many people skip over details that seem routine to them. Even though they may be routine to an experience milker, most new milkers want to know everything! If you enjoyed the video, stay tuned for more! We try to give lots of detail and every video that we make! We try to keep them brief but some of them just have to be long ha ha!
This is awesome, i love watching
Great detailed video. Thank you
Awe! You are very welcome! I hope you got a lot out of it! You guys getting a milk cow for the homestead? God bless you!
@@OurFruitfulFamily we’re trying. I found your channel while doing some research and y’all have already been a wealth of knowledge.
You don’t know how good that makes us feel! We are still new to this as well and just sharing what we have Learned and our experiences along the way. If you have any questions or would like a video detailing something specific, let us know and we will see what we can do. If I don’t know the answer, I have several sources that will tell me the answers haha!
I enjoyed this vid...:)
Wow! Thank you Tim! That’s a huge compliment coming from you! God bless!
Thank you!!!
You could put those caps in a small lingerie laundry bag to dip in the water so you don’t get your hands in it. This is how Girl Scouts are taught to wash the dishes at camp.
Haha! That’s a good idea! I wasn’t in Girl Scouts hehe! God bless you Jennie!

I watched this video, because I was wondering how other people doing it. We milk sheep for many years and our two cows for a few years now. You do it mostly the same like we do. Just two things I want to tell you.
You said correctly that there might be some dirt or mud in the teats, so you press a little bit of milk out of them to make sure the milk is clean before you start the actuell milking process. Well the milk in the milk channel (that the german word translated not sure if you use it that way) can get mixed up with the milk in the udder while cleaning and rubbing the udder like you do. So better press the few splashes milk out first and then clean the udder!!!
About cleaning all the tubes there is also an advice. Milk is mainly made of water, fat and protein. If the protein gets in touch with hot water it reacts and sticks to the hoses very badly. If you splash everything with cold water first (just a few second till the water is clear) and then clean it with the soap and bleech water mix you will get rid of the protein and the fat. Fat can just get removed with hot water of course!
Keep on the good work with your cows! Love your family! Greetings from Austria
These are great tips! Thank you!!!
@@OurFruitfulFamily you are very welcome!
Hey I know it's been a while, but are you able to share a link to that same milk funnel? I can't find one reasonably priced on Amazon or one that fits into a wide mouth jar. Great video, thank you for your educational content!
Hello there! It’s not identical, but this is their updated version of it from the same link I bought mine!

Thanks so much!
Interesting video, you have beautiful Jersey cows. Looks like you have your milking routine down pat.
Thank you Ben! They are some good girls!
Good video, however it would be much better with a lower volume on the background music. It can be a little distracting when trying to understand you when talking or the voiceover.
Thank you!!! This is the type of feedback we need! We will lower our background volumes on future videos! Thanks so much for the input!
Which milker do you use? is this the $600 one off amazon?
We actually talk a little bit about the Milker in another video. It’s actually a Slavic Beauty two cow Milker. It is about a $1600 milker but we got it from the folks we purchased autumn from. They said that if I could fix it to send them $100 in the mail. Long story short, I fixed it LOL
@@OurFruitfulFamily this is a great story! haha.
Haha thank you! God blessed the pants off of us with that one! Saved my hands a lot of work haha!
My question is doesn't all cows produce milk ?
What exactly are you asking? All Cows, aside from rare medical cases, should produce milk after they have given birth to a calf. The milk cycle only lasts so long before you have to let them dry up for a few months, and then they give birth again which starts the cycle over.
Ok 👌 thank you
No problem!
