Hi everyone, great to see a new video. love watching and seeing the workings of the farm. a lot of these things weren`t in effect when i was milking. great video keep them coming.
Wonderful video Wilson I am retired Dairy Farmer in Rhode Island , I started back when we milked by hand into buckets milking 3 times a day we had a herd of 300 jerseys , watching how your family does things now it certainly is much better . Keep up the great job May God Bless you all .
Great video. I always look forward to your videos Wilson. Your family does a great job looking after the ladies. I had Jerseys myself and like seeing other farms with the. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next one. All the best from Canada
Thank you Wilson for the video. I enjoy hearing the stories that make each cow unique. Jerseys are my favourite dairy cow. They are so pretty. Interested in learning more about how your farm operates.
I really enjoy the videos with the cows. You take such great care and at the end, they all look so very contented. Wonderful explanation of the process with great input from your Mom and Dad. Every cow has a story of their own, I remember that from my time on the farm. You get better with each video Wilson, keep it up! When your Dad was talking about Lydia's cow, it made me wonder if her Ayrshire calf is still around? Great channel!
Great job Wilson. It’s entertaining to follow your growth as a story teller, farmer and videographer. I’m currently milking 1 jersey, with another due in March. Keep up with the good content. Mike
Love the small dairy farms. My brother had a jersey dairy farm for 25 years. Tay Farms channel dairy farm has a holstein 24 years old and is still milking. That is the is the beauty of small farm care of the cows.
Is there any risk in spreading mastitis in using a common cup in dipping the teats? What precaution do you take when you know a certain cow has mastitis?
Not too concerned about the common dipping cup because both the pre and post dip cups are filled with solutions that kill bacteria. Greater risk of spread comes from the milking machine itself. Because of that, cows with known mastitis are isolated from the tank and milked last. The teat dips and single-use (before laundering) towels are just tools to stave off a problem. Most important thing is to keep cows in a clean environment.
Great video enjoyed it very much, keep them coming even if it's milking I enjoy them. Thank you and have a great night 🌙

How many people does it take to molk300 cows 3 times a day?…?
By hand
I started milking by hand. I milked 8 by hand before I put in Surge buckets and thought I would never get done.

Now that is an old cow, I think our oldest one reached 17 or 18 years old.
@@KeithFinkFamilyFarm my Jersey cow passed away 2 years ago at 17. We got her as a baby. She was a 4-H calf and some of her calves were too.
I certainly enjoyed this video good job guys 👍
Loved it ❤.
Fascinating! I got a little sheepish watching this one, kidding..

Hows your winter been this year? bitter cold ans a lot of snow?
Have you ever had any cows get lazy and lay down with the milker on? I've seen it once, Holstein of coarse!
We sure have!
How old is the oldest cow you have in the barn?
Just checking the records here - Charlotte appears to be the oldest, born in 2012.
How old is Charlotte?
Just looked it up, she was born in 2012.
Wilson you are a pro at videoing,how many head are you guys milking now ?
I wouldn't know exactly, but it's usually around 40-50
Would you explain what those bars are that hang above the cows neck?
They are called 'trainers' used to help keep the cows clean. Stay tuned, we'll explain it in a future video. We get a lot of questions about them.

Fun fact, Cheyenne, the heifer next to Charlotte, is Charlotte’s granddaughter. Daughter of Charlene.
Thanks for sharing Lydia!
