    Man, that’s a lot of work for one person. Your Dad and brother trained you well!!

      It's not all the training, it's the built in work ethic to do it right, or fix what's wrong. You can TEACH anything, but not all LEARN what has to be done.

    Mason I was about your age when I left the farm. I am 63 now as silly as this sounds watching you all I wanted was to be there. Smell the smells. Be around the cattle. Smell the feed, milk the cows listen to the paulseators run and feel the Midwest air on my skin. Growing up on a dairy farm in southern Minnesota was some of the best times of my life.

    I’m sure your parents are proud of you. It’s great to see a young fella such as yourself taking ownership of the jobs. That is parenting done right. I just recently started following your channel and really look forward to seeing them. Brings back memories of my childhood

    You always do what you have to do when you are raised on a farm. You can thank your family for making you who and what you are. Doesn't matter what you pursue in life, you have the foundation for success! Great video, you have done nothing less than the best!

  • @colmortimer1066
    @colmortimer1066 6 месяцев назад +12

    I have enjoyed these last couple videos, you all don't often show the more daily grind stuff with milking, and often are showing field work, or other random jobs. Which does offer fresh new content a lot if the time, but there is nothing wrong with showing the milking, feeding and cleaning that make up the bulk of running a dairy farm. Plus it's always great to see how everyone's personality changes the videos, no matter who is filming that day. :)

  • @leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586
    @leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 6 месяцев назад +7

    Looks like a pretty normal day. You are evidently pretty well trained and I didn't see any problems. I remember when Aaron was "the man" while your parents went south for a little while and he ran into a piece of something, I think it was a gate hook. He had to repair it on a very cold winter day. It isn't an easy job and probably can be something you would not want to do every day, but it is good training.
    I have a niece that hated living in the country and left home to do about any job, even a flight attendant for a while, got married and had 5 kids. Then when my dad passed away she and her family moved into his 10 acres "in the country" and later, when I asked her if she liked living there, she said "I LOVE IT". She now helps someone milk cows and works with therapy horses on another place. I envy her.

  • @dizzy8890
    @dizzy8890 6 месяцев назад +3

    I heard the vacuum pump in the background while you were milking. It reminded me of the time when ours imploded right in the middle of the morning milking. Scared the crap out of all of us. Giant bang near the milk house is never a good sign. Patched it with some tape and a piece of scrap metal so we could finish milking. So note to always check your pressure tanks for cracks or rust. They can go quick and with a bang. :) the daily content is awesome. Keep it up

You learn to do so many things and notice what needs to be done without being told. You are an amazing young man. Compliments to your camera operator too, lol. We love seeing your whole family taking part in the videos. Keep em coming.

    I can hear the pulsator and you run it quite fast. When I was growing up we ran it out about 2/3 that speed.

    • @MorganOtt-ne1qj
      @MorganOtt-ne1qj 6 месяцев назад +2

      Most are set up for different timing for front and rear now. So the pulses sound twice as fast, but are really the same timing. It's to equalize the flow of milk into the claw and hose. Instead of a 60/40 surge of milk, it's more like a 30/20 , even if the pulsators are still 60/40. I may be a bit technical, but I don't know how to explain it differently. Great observation!

  • @grantmagnuson4883
    @grantmagnuson4883 6 месяцев назад +2

    Have you considered feeding powdered milk to your cows instead of whole milk from the cows? When I was growing up the volume from powdered milk was considerably cheaper than the whole milk, and it didn’t take away from the farm income to feed the cows. But I’m totally unaware of what powdered milk cost these days. We bought it in 100 pound bags.

    • @gabe-benwillfahrt5303
      @gabe-benwillfahrt5303 6 месяцев назад +1

      It ain't cheap these days. Depending on what brand you buy it could range from 35 dollars a bag to 100 dollars a bag. That's for a 50lb bag. So if you need a pallet of the stuff or half a pallet it gets kinda pricy, especially if it's from Land o lakes.

    • @MorganOtt-ne1qj
      @MorganOtt-ne1qj 6 месяцев назад +2

      The price of raw milk vs the price of powdered is upside down now. Yes, a good calf milk replacer is 20% fat and 22% protein against a tank test that may be 5%+/- fat and 7%+/- protein, you still have some "dump" milk that is cheaper to feed calves than the powder. In the '80s, powdered milk was cheaper, but now...

    • @danw6014
      @danw6014 6 месяцев назад +1

      Milk is much better feed than replacer. We used to have calves die from stomach ulcers, scours and infection from replacer. Now it's a rare occurrence to lose a calf.

      Hope you don't mind my replying to your question. I believe they have said they use the bells, partly due to their Swiss heritage and I remember them saying that the mom's dad gave them one for their wedding. They have relatives over there and there are videos of Aaron and Darby visiting them.
      They said it also makes it easier in the summer to find one that calves early and is in the woods or separate from the herd. The bell leads them to her.
