I ran all the way home to tell my mom and ask if she needed to call someone? She laughed and said that is were cows come from.

    It was amazing to see what a good mother she was being, for a first time mother, she came as soon as the calf called but maintained her trust and did not panic when you had hold of the calf. I have to assume that much of that comes from your earlier approach to handling her wen she was so scared and let her decide when to come out of the forest and develop some trust. There seems to be good potential there for a cow with good instincts but also in control of them, you can't ask for much more to raise your next generation.

    I love the look of Highland cattle. I had 2 blonde heifers for about 2 years but I had to get rid of them once they learned to jump the fence. I would not have believed that a cow could jump a 4 foot fence from a standstill had I not witnessed it myself. I have Angus crosses now. They do not seem inclined to jump. At least so far.

      @@simeonandalex I love watching your videos. You are keeping me from making the money to buy my land. I fell in love with these Highlanders through you. I KNEW immediately that I had to raise these beautiful animals. I love your other farming videos too. I've watched many over the last few days.
      Thank you for all you share. I'll be donating as soon as I am able. I'm just starting working now after being disabled long time...still am, but with gained strength and no pain. I'm going to find a way to work a self-sustaining farm for profit, permaculture, with a disability...weak muscles. I'm hoping I'll get a healing, but will just have to make it as low-labor as possible.
      I'll be in the Ozarks, so have plenty of winter. These cows are amazing. I wonder how much different the milk, butter, and cheese tastes from these cows. I bet it is very unique. I saw the video where you talk about the high-fat content and marbled and lower-fat meat.
      I want to have 150 or more cows. This I say before planning. I want at least 120 acres of pasture. I found one with that many acres pasture, plus 200 acres of woods. I'll be in touch with your channel through continuing to watch and let you know when I chose the land. You and your family are always welcome.
      I'm not far enough in planning. I'll likely start with a few dozen cows and a few bulls, then breed from there. I'm not sure how it all works yet. I only discovered a few days ago. I'm so excited!
      I saw you today for your visit to America. North Carolina is my favorite state in America. I've been to Colorado four times when I was younger and the Alps when I was in the Army. I loved the Alps more than the Rockies in Colorado. Then, I lived in North Carolina. I thought I died and went to heaven when I moved to N.C. I sure hope you got a chance to see the Black Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway before the color was gone.
      I"m moving to the Ozarks for safety. If war breaks out or racial violence, it is the safest area sorrounded by four rivers and because of the terrian, the most impenatrable place in America. I'm hoping to build a community, bringing some families from South Africa that need help and any other Whites. You will always be welcome. We can pitch in building cob and other type sustainable houses for each other and tending the land. If there is ever a famon, there won't be with us. :)

    • @tracischeelk29
      @tracischeelk29 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How often do they hide in the woods and/or hide their calves. Is it necessary to know where their calves are? I am raising money for land now. I want to raise this breed of calves. I"ll have live-in help. I'm a single female with neuro-muscluar damage. I'm quite weak. I can walk, but not too far or too many times. Must limit my exertion or it will knock me down to nothing.
      I'm determined to have a self-sustaining farm and looking to make things as low labor as possible. I plan to have protecting and herding dogs, fencing, etc. I'll likely have Permaculture fencing that I'm not required to move the fencing to move them. One property I am looking at is 120 acres pasture with over 200 acres woods.
      I"ve heard the bulls can turn mean reacting as he mentioned here or the mothers being very protective. Is it easy enough to avoid if they react violently, or do they chase you to attack you?! I also heard in one video that one processing plant said they wouldn't process because of the horns, that this added too much to their operation. Is it easy enough to set up an operation on the land?
      I'm really excited about doing this. I just love Highlander Cows. My friend was shocked that the cows stay outside all the time. I think it gets to -20 F where I will be moving. I haven't decided on the land, but this is roughly the lowest temperature.
      Does anyone have any comments on any of this or how many cows per acre, and how difficult is is to have 150 cows versus 40-50? It would seem to me that increasing from 50 to 150 really wouldn't be much different of a workload. Is my logic correct?
      I also wonder about separating the bulls and how difficult it is to expand through breeding. If I am going for four generations to get to 150 or so cows, do I have to separate all generations from lineage on both the mother and bull's side?
      I don't expect anyone to answer all. I'd love for anyone with experience to comment on this or other.
      It seems to me that Permaculture Animal farming is easier and less labor-intensive, as well as maybe more profitable than most crops, even if I hire certain aspects of it, like the butchering or special tasks.
      These cows are so majestic. I am absolutely wild for them. I feel like they are long lost friends or family members reuniting with, through my German and Norwegian history.
