I worked at a small dairy (60 or 70 cows) that bought 6 Brown Swiss just to compare to the Holsteins that made up the rest of the herd. They wanted no part of humans touching their udders. The barn had steel posts supporting the hay loft with enough room for 2 cows between posts. After a day of near combat conditions when milking those Brown Swiss cows. The following day I let the 2 cows beside them out and went into the empty stall to prep the cow for the milking machine on the meanest Brown Swiss. She meant to kick me into my next life but her foot hit the steel post instead of me. The kick was so hard it shook dust off of the floor joists of the loft. The rest of that milking went smooth as silk but that cow had a pretty bad limp when I let her out of her stanchion. After that day she acted aggravated when being milked but NEVER tried to kick me again.
You’re right, cows have long memories and do not respond well to aggression. Temperament in a cow is so important- I have sent off several heifers that proved to be impossible to work with. That’s after weeks of patience and using some of the tricks you show in this excellent video.
It certainly helps to gentle them as a growing calf and I find they remember this and are easier to work with later on. Keep up the good work, Greetings from Sussex, England.
Hello, my daughter bottle fed a Jersey calf, it's 2yr and just had it's first calf, btw very tiny but can stand.
Kid's are struggling I just shared this video with them, it brought back memories from my youth. Same farm
Mother milked Blacky for year's, she was a great gentle cow who loved milk time, would come running.
Sadly, I give it 50/50 kids will be successful, I've suggested buying a second day old calf, because there's a lot of milk!
Thanks again, for the Memories!
That's great, i'm a vet doctor and actualy it's very important to restrain the animal while dealing with it.. Thank you for advising people not to take the risk with the dangerous animal and sell it to butcher
Kicking Cow Butter. I’ll be looking for that at my grocery store. 😉. Great video!
Great video!! We've had kicking cows before and have tied off the leg closest to us and after a few times of that she stopped kicking...thankfully!! Also, when we hand milk we use 2 pails. One with a lid that we set behind us and the one we milk into. We periodically pour the milk into the container with the lid so that IF by chance a foot or other debris gets into our milking pail, we just give that to the critters and keep our milk clean!!
That's great! Had our fair share of two pail too :)

They also make a device called hip huggers, which go over the back an basically use a long threaded rod with hoops that fit onto the top hip bone , when tightened up it put some pressure on the hip and prevents kicking
Never seen the nose clip before, lots of insight!
Your girls are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing
Excellent video. I really really appreciate the info and great experience you have shared. I'm keeping this for reference forever. Nice job.
Great! Glad we were helpful :) All the best!
Thank you so much it really help here in India we use different technique to tie the cow legs
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic description girls, really appreciate your video and I love the way you handle your livestock
Thank you so much for this informative video we were having some problems with our girl Maybelle but thank goodness she’s come around and straightened out but I have saved this video in two places for future reference thank you again very kindly
So happy to be able to help! All the best with Maybelle :)
Excellent video. Thanks guys.
Well done ladies!😊
Wonderful cow is my favourite animal in the world
Ived used to do the 1st restraint (ived got 30 heads of dairy cows , back then but only one is a kicker)it works well too, but being kicked by a cow is not fun , I tell you 😄👍..
Being kicked isn't fun for sure and neither is getting your foot stepped on by one .
Truly great video.
Something that worked well for me while hand milking was to wear a toque or a beanie and lean your forehead into the cows flank while milking. I'm not sure why but it did have a calming effect on the cow. Perhaps it makes the cow feel a bit like a calf is nursing???
What often works with first time heifers is turning slowly half around and give the cow a good look in the eye RIGHT after she kicks and then continue with milking. She will feel the attention as a punishment. Her focus will shift from the milking process to looking at You wether You wil turn around again. It takes some courage as for a few seconds You can no longer see her foot.
It sometimes feels like a heifer will keep on kicking forever, I however tell myself the animal thinks I will never stop trying! Now its easier for me to stay calm and cope with her behaviour and make het quit.
such great advice, thank you!
Thank you for the great information 🙏🏻💞
I love cows. I've never been too near a cow, never milked one, probably never will. But to imagine that some mistreat them, is upsetting.
i love all your ideas is great
Thanks a lot 👍
Superb video ❤
very good job
well done beautiful lady
Great stuff
I have somewhat of a superficial question. Where did you get that green shirt jacket? The reason why I ask is because I have an interest in figuring out ways of bringing back elegance in what we wear while still keeping clothes functional. I have been looking for something like that but have had trouble finding it.
We found it at a second hand store. It's a military coat and it's wool. Awesome coat!
Great job 👏👏👏
I learned.
Hey! Where is Sarah?
Nice. Have you tried with AntiKick Bar ?
I've looked into it but never tried it.
Good
I need a milkmaid.
Interesante. Gracias.
Thanks
My cow won't let me get to second base... what should I do?
hello danica
Super 👌♥️
What breed are you milking
A cross breed of Angler, Black Angus, Jersey and Dexter.
You guys are so beautiful
You are beautifully
Why are chickens in the food Ben
Iol
My cow same to same kicking your information very good
I appreciate your efforts but don't ever think or say of sending them to butcher.. they are part of our family so always keep finding ways to deal with them in better ways and if still u not able get milk out of her then let some calves drink it and u can try side by side
That's your opinion. This is their cow, not their family. If it's what's best to butcher it then that is what they will do
Great i sold a cow because i CAn not milk because she kicks,now the one who bought has got his hands broken,and he wants his money back
👍👍💐💐👌👌
Without cow permission you are forcibly milking cow is Sin
Then don't have dairy products 😊
ANother simple solution is "Play a melodious song" in cow barn. It never kick
Lol
What a hipocract she is "don't beat the cows, be nice to animals instead if they doesn't improve butcher them"
God had made a place for everyone
You're ridiculous. So you want her to beat and torture the cow first? Got it
Kicking cows kill many farmers every year, no logical person would keep a cow that can kill them when they're being milked.
