Our first dairy cow just calved this morning. We just got her in the stanchion and milked her for the first time. We are a hot mess, but managed to get 2 gallons of colostrum. Hoping it gets MUCH smoother over time!!
2 gallons is a lot of collostrum! Did you give her a calcium booster either oral or shot for milk fever prevention? Mossy was a hot mess for the first 4-5 days and i milked onto the ground just to empty her more than once.
@@VenisonforDinner We did give her the oral supplement. She is just not broke to the stanchion or milking, so lots of kicking. Lots of poop. Lots of kicking poop!☹
My curly hair hates being brushed too. I only wash once a week. Seeing your cows just makes my wants of cows so much more.
I'm also a once a week washer!
I love watching your videos with my girls! They always enjoy it.
I think this has been my favorite video so far!
Thank you so much!

How do you keep the flies away from your cheese? I almost always have fruit flies in my kitchen.
I dont have many flies but a friend uses one of those potluck food netting tent cover thingys.
@@VenisonforDinner okay, that's a great idea. Thank you!
U need to get some kind of machine to milk the cows otherwise u will injury ur hand.
I have no problems milking by hand. I'd rather not use the cleaners etc needed to clean a machine milker for just one cow.
@@VenisonforDinner long term it will cause problem, just say cuz i care.
