Milking cows on a small dairy farm

Hello everybody! In this video we give you some insight as to how our parlor is set up and show you how we milk our cows. We hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching and we appreciate all the support!

An excellent video. It brings back treasured memories for myself as I was brought up on a dairy farm in Australia.

Do you have a video that is slower and up close?

[@cottonwoodhillfarms]

There is another video where I have some up close shots of milking. I plan on doing another video just about milking sometime between now and fall.

Nothing cuter than a jersey calf! You put a kick bar on all your cows? Nice set up. How many you milking? Milk shares?

[@cottonwoodhillfarms]

Thanks! Yes, I use the bar on them all. Once in a while I will forget to put it on, probably don't need it on most of them. I see it as one extra level of control to keep the claw from getting kicked off, especially since I have my back to one of them while working the other. We milk between 8-10, 9 right at the moment. Yes, we have a Herd share program.
