    What a blessing to own a milk cow! I am thankful everyday for the joy and health she has brought to my life. After milking cows for over 20 years I want to share with you 10 tips that will help you buy the perfect milk cow for your farm.

    Thank you, Caren! This is so full of important information. Some of these things could be disastrous if one did not know! I hope you make more of these milk cow videos!

    I'd love to have a cow, but I'm sure it's more than i can do alone. I hope to find a good source for raw milk. Thank you for this video and such helpful information. Your operation there looks beautiful.

    Thank you for the wonderful tips. I couldn’t agree more with you, especially on the disease-free search, so many people never even consider that. I have had jersey cows since 2016, I wish I would have had these tips then. The Lord blessed me though with a disease-free, easy milking jersey, whom I fell in love with. It definitely is a lifestyle change but a good one. Thank you for all your videos and sharing your knowledge. My husband enjoys Mr. Rueffer’s videos and his knowledge too.

    I’m a first timer just bought a jersey 17mths old and pregnant from a commercialized farm. Best tips for training her? I will be machine milking her when it comes time. I am thinking that over the next few months I will train the routine so that she will be ready for milking when she gives birth. I thought also to wait for a couple weeks to a month before starting to take her milk from her calf

    I just love seeing your cows and seeing you interact with them. They have such pretty faces.

    Hey Caren, Enjoyed the video! Gave it a thumbs up!! I am now in my second lactation of milking, so a young milkmaid when compared to you, lol, but I do enjoy it and more importantly I enjoy what the queen of our farm produces for us. ❤ Making cheese is the next skill I am wanting to learn.

      We are so glad you liked our video and thank you for watching. I make very easy farmstead style cheese. Super easy! I use clabber or kefir to culture everything.

    • @coramdayo

      @@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 that is my goal, to not have to bring in outside inputs like cultures but use my own clabber. I was making kefir every couple days until we dried up our cow. I had Frozen enough milk to keep the kefir going and for our household needs but now it's time to start feeding my kefir grains regularly.

    Before you (personally ) consume the raw milk from
    Your family milk cow , is Mastis the most common testing you do? Is there nay other good test to run beside the usually eye ball monitoring for milk and if cow looks sick.

    I have only seen one person show that they shave the udder. Would you suggest that on a very hairy udder? This will be her first time being milked.

    • @texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517
      @texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No I would not recommend shaving the udder. I would brush the area with a soft bristle brush before milking. Thank you for watching!

    During lactation, how much grain and what ration do you use? What kind of grain? When you say “Dairy Ration” what does that mean.
    Sorry, I am still learning. I have trained my milk cow to a stanchion last year, no halter trained, which I will do this year with her calf. I bred her to a Jersey. She is a Dexter. Great cow on her 6th calf. We are have had two of her other pure bred Dexter calves. I did a lot of research before we bought her.
    Praying for an easy birth, since this will be her first that is not a Dexter. She is getting large and due April 28-30. ❤️
    Thank you for sharing. Your videos are so helpful. 🙏
