Nice clean cows and barn….. I love how clean their dry stalls are and the barn scrapers..Your family does a great job….Folks don’t realize dairy farming is a 24/7 life…. I was brought up on a dairy farm…I know by the time you get the cows milked and calves all feed….its time to start all over…..Thanks for all your great videos…
Hello from Indiana . We always have air sprayers like a mist over the backs of cows in barn it helps out a lot keeps the cows tempt down and not getting over heated.
I really enjoy watching your videos Really enjoy seeing the colorful herd of cows and heifers. How many different breeds do you have? TY for for sharing
We have mostly Holstein and Lineback, with a few other crosses in there to. We have been breeding for red & white cows for years, so a lot of our cattle are red & white
You guys are number one you take awesome care of all the animals, the best of barns,fans,keep everything nice and clean 👍, number one in my book. I REALLY ENJOY ALL YOUR VIDEOS, YOU DO A GREAT JOB AT EXPLAINING THE FARM AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT ALL TIMES. ❤❤
Hello, I just found your channel and have subscribed. What a beautiful and interesting herd you have! I will be going through past videos and getting up to date.
When we started, we mainly just liked how they looked. Once you have some, they kind of grow on you. As far as advantaged, one advantage is calving ease. We seldom have to pull any calves in our first calf heifers. The linebacks are a little bit smaller frame animal. Milk production is similar to the holstein. The lineback marking will usually dominate the holstein for a couple generations. So a lot of ours have a fair amount of holstein bloodlines in them. We breed with all bulls, so we usually have both holstein and lineback bulls in with the cows.
@arlofarms thanks. How do they do with milk components? Also I've heard they are good grazers and can do well with less grain. And you already answered my question about the dominance of the markings. Thanks
I'm new to your channel, what prompted you to cross breed your Holsteins with the linebacks? And how does milk production compare with straight Holsteins? I'll catch up on some of your past videos. I'm sure you've had some of the questions before 😊. You certainly have a nice looking herd of animals.
Milk production is very similar to the holstein. About 30 years ago I bought a lineback springer at a heifer sale and I guess we really like the different markings on them.
@arlofarms Thank you. Glad to hear that. I have wondered in the past how diverse, Holstein genetics are with so many people using, "the best" of the breed. Might not ever be a problem, I don't know. I like the color in your herd though.

Rất vui khi được ghé thăm trang trại của bạn 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
First time here. I see you have lineback cattle. Could you comment on the advantages/disadvantages of them ? Thanks and God bless

@@gmar4454 Components are similar. We feed all our cows the same TMR, so not sure about how they do with less grain.
Was that climb on that gate Osha approved?

Oi 👍👍👍👍
I really disliked when one of my cows had twins. Just hard on the moms and more likely than not, a bull/heifer combo.
What different breed cows do you have ?
We have mostly Holstein and Lineback, with a few other crosses in there to. We have been breeding for red & white cows for years, so a lot of our cattle are red & white
Did your farm start as Holstein? Ever breed to montebillard
Yes 25 years ago we had almost all holsteins.
