- Hey guys! So since we don’t raise very many of our own heifers I thought I’d take the opportunity to show y’all how a heifer that we did raise ourselves reacts to being milked in the first few milking. Hope you enjoy!!
Love the care and attention you give to each individual cow Taylor. You really treat them so kind and caring. You are an awesome and caring person. Way to go Taylor. Hope you and Brent get well soon keep up the good work. God bless and stay safe and regards from ireland Patrick Brazil.
Very good sharing
Well done
Keep it up
Always enjoy your videos, praying for your health and relationship with Jesus. God bless.
Wow what a well behaved heifer, very nice. Stay well. Thanks
Yes, she is a good girl. Thank you! Hope you had a great day!!
Great video Taylor
another great vid
Hiya Taylor,
Excellent video, thank you; and get better soon, both of you. What do you mean? 'A short coffee break for you?' Why short? Are two hours not enough for you now? She certainly liked the idea of going out the back with a load of bull. Been there, done that, had the calf.
Still, daydreaming about the loader? It was a big boy. Think of all the bales you could shift with that beast. Enough even for your girls to be content? As long as they get coffee as well. Okay, as long as you get coffee as well. I'll always have it. I drink from a large Rolling Stones mug with the tongue logo on it. I'm unsure of the size; I'll have to measure it; it's about a pint. Just enough for a quick drink while I'm waiting for coffee break time to start.
I would love to see you both with double the herd and a homegrown Guernsey herd at that. Another barn next door, the same style but with oats growing upstairs rather than storing hay. Would you take on more staff or cope with all the extra work?
Stay safe, Steve...
Haha. She was excited to see a man. Love your videos!
We had sunny days. At 78 degrees. For 2 days. I thought about you. This whole week. Ur my dream girl. Dairy farmer.
Good inside look. Well done from an old guy who was raised on a small dairy farm. Good stuff.
Thanks 👍
Another great video Tay thanks that heifer stood to be milked very well nice to see hope you and Brent get better soon as I’m sure it’s not nice feeling unwell and having to keep working all I can say is keep farming because farming makes you smile take care 😊 👍
I love how you love your work. I feel the same about farmimg❤
Thank you! I’m so glad you love farming too, it’s great to know that people still feel that way!
I bring my springing heifers in early too. I rub their udders so they aren't freaked out when they start milking.
I sum how missed your last video. Thanks for sharing. Glad you are able to get sawdust at another mill. We’re not doing production right now. No sawdust. The mill is slow right now. Another great video. Enjoy the snow today.
Hi, thanks for watching! Thanks for letting us know hopefully it pick up soon!
Get better soon Taylor and Brent
Leader envy, lol, spoken like a true farmer. Really like all the windows in your barn. Here in hilly Wisconsin there are a lot of bank barns, which means no windows on one side and a dark interior. Get well soon!
😄 that must be strange! I didn’t know that they built them that way! Thanks for commenting
Thanks for the video. Always interesting to see the things you have to do to keep on top of farm work. Getting sawdust, making sure the cows get bred, and wrapping it all around milking twice a day. I envy your farm life, but not the amount of work you have to do to support it! Great stuff Tay!
Love your videos! God Bless the farmers!
Thank you!
Great information thank yoy
so relaxing to watch you all farm...
Good morning Taylor, your first calf heifer looked a little tentative at first but then calmed down. I know your farm doesn’t keep your heifer calves but do you ever have a chance to buy them back for your herd? It’s great that you can use your own bull to breed your cows as AI is very expensive but also bulls can sometimes be dangerous so please be safe around them. Can’t wait to see all of your calves that are coming in March and April. Thanks again for another informative video. Just a heads up for you . Here in NE Wisconsin we are at the tail end of a winter blizzard which is headed your way. So please keep yourself and your girls warm and I hope you get better soon. 😊
My buddy Dave an I milked on a brand new dairy,220 heifers in a double 8 parlor. Never new cows could turn around in the milk line.When the auto washers turned on a couple jumped the metal panels,Dave had his hand kicked an broke it,I stayed on.I relieved the pot milk an the calves.Nice to see a calm fresh heifer
Good morning Taylor, thanks for taking the time to share your morning with us. Get well soon, Deb
Hi, thank you!
It helps to bring them in before they calve to get them used to everything.
Hope you feel better soon.
Very good video
Awesome job hope y'all feel better stay warm
Thank you!
enjoyed video speedy get well
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!!
Thank you for the video Taylor. I hope you have a wonderful day please be safe and careful
Great video as always. Praying for speedy recovery. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!
You take such great care of your cows. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us all in your videos 😊
Get well soon Taylor and Brent...I can relate to the same symptoms for the last two weeks myself. Our NY weather has been very unsettled with unusually high temps for this time of year and then back to reality with unusually normal wind chill temps to follow. Constant changing temps have been difficult on cows and us too. Beautiful heifer and udder she has too. I have learned from experience the best way for the heifers to learn is by gaining the experience themselves...just like you did with bringing them in the barn before calving and the more they do it the easier it gets for both you and them every day to learn the barn and milking too. Its funny their personalities how some can take right to it and some are just full of stubbornness and take more patience and effort to get them to learn...thats what makes it fun though lol We have the issue majority of the time with getting them to want to cross the gutter which only part of our barn has grates but with most heifers you can put some grain in the stanchion and entice them to want to cross...they were raised on grain so their upbringing def has its benefits. We too have alot of dry cows now and we will be having alot of calves in the next couple of months too...our baby boom is actually underway with 5 straight days of calves born and 6 total cows calved in those 5 days...which to most is hardly much but with a herd of 45 cows its more significant and definitely welcome for our milk production. I would say you def got lucky with taking the cow out to the bull...we have had several instances with cows in heat inside the barn and trying to jump other cows with the end result of broken lights and light fixtures following. Have a great day Taylor...keep on farmin and keep on with the keepin on. Thanks again for the wonderful videos and sharing with us your daily experiences
Hi, sorry to hear that you are feeling poorly as well! I hope you get better soon. That certainly is a lot of calves in five days!! Hope everything went smoothly. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Goodmorning Taylor
I assume you’re getting some of the weather I am having here in Massachusetts really nasty out but I know you will be warm working with the Moo Moo Mamas❤😊
Wishing u both a quick recovery! I hope the weather starts to turn warmer for yall!! Tk u for sharing ur day w/ us! Stay safe!!
Thanks for the video, hope you’all are feeling better soon 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Great video.hope you both get feeling better.i know it hard to do all that work when you dont feel good.
Good content Taylor !! Thank you !! I pray you and "Boss" feel better real soon!!!! God bless you all !!!! Eddy
Hope you guys get well soon
Thank you!
Addy, piece of cake! Nice. I remember the difference in the way Holsteins and beef cattle would kick you. The Holstein kick was rather straight line. One could see the windup so if you grabbed her over the back and pulled yourself close, you could deflect most of the hit. The beef cow, they'd swing their leg out more sideways, you did not see it coming until you were laying on the ground wondering what hit you. The good ole days.🙃
Thats pretty Brown Swiss cross, I got a bunch of them they make nice cows.
They do make great girls!! Thanks for commenting!
TIM from Canada for your home. Church system if they are going to be bred at a certain time, you should put some sort of a green spray paint on their legs so you know which ones are the ones to go…. Green means they need to go out a red or another colour means that they’ve already been with the bull just thought I would suggest this if you mark them early this way you know and then put their numbers in a book
Hope you're feeling better. It's no fun milking cows when you're not feeling well. My cows all have their own buddies who they like to hang out with.
Thank you! Isn’t it funny how they develop little friend groups 😄
Hey Taylor, Sorry you're under the weather. Question about replacements. I don't know about Maine, but here in NY we keep all of the purebred heifers for possible replacement. We found that on our farm it is cheaper to raise a replacement that buy one. Does it save you money in the long run to buy bred heifers to replace or add to the herd. Can you control the genetics of the herd by buying replacements?
Good afternoon tay thanks for the wonderful video that heifer that really well milking no kicking at all im not use to seeing that for me im normally getting my head kicked off lol have a good day get well soon from willie in mn
Cześć. Jestem z Polski. Fajnie ,że można obejrzeć jak wygląda hodował bydła w USA. Powiesz mi z którego stanu jestes , ile macie krow I ile ziemi potrzebujecie zeby wyżywić wasze zwierzęta?
Nice! here's a farmer's joke!! What do give a dry cow in the winter?
did you ever have a cow named taylor ive heard thats a really popular nane
I always found with 1st time heifers that they show u real fast if there going to be a coopertaive cow or not...jerseys seem to have little man syndrom lol only been stomped or kicked a few times. It just taught me to be more reactive and attentive
👍
😊
Hello kitty 😊😊😊
Great job milking Taylor
Красивая 😍
Since ya"ll don't raise your calves, what do you do with your extra colostrum?? Interesting video, thanks for sharing!! S. Carolina
Taylor check out over on Farming with Duffy Ag he just signed papers and bought his first farm.Not sure if you get to watch other channels on here?
vous êtes dans quel pays ? ou états si c'est aux USA ?
🤘🏻 reposting...
Wat does the Cleaner do...Tay...
As always, another great video about farm life. Quick question, how many acres is Brents farm? My Uncle's farm was 300 acres. But we used only about 250 Acres. The other 50 really was unusable due to swampy areas. Get well soon. You really don't like to work when not feeling well. Get better soon and God Bless
Thank you! I think it’s around 300+ maybe 350 crop land.
You always take a coffee break ever take a tea break 🤔
THE COWS ARE NOT CLEAN I AM A FRAMER
U LOOK TIRED TAKE A BREAK
