So refreshing to see a young person, who happens to be a young woman, with so much confidence and a great work ethic doing this hard work. Thanks so much, love the videos!
I definitely chuckled watching this great video….between the ATV running out of gas…the Jersey who broke into another pasture and didn’t want to then step over a down line…😂😅 … the remark about two cows that like to escape the barn, so yet another line within has to be put up to deter that happening…Great Video Taylor…By the way, my maiden name is Taylor….I don’t have any brothers, so I gave our daughter my maiden name as her first name…So, definitely partial to “Taylor” 💜
It definitely was a hectic day!! 😅 Really glad you enjoy watching, so cool that you named your daughter after your maiden name! It is a wonderful way to keep the family name!
Great video young lady ... very informative !! I always imagine myself sleeping in a farm like this on a rainy night whenever I have insomnia ... and it never fails me !!
Great stuff young lady, it's very interesting to see how things are done differently in other parts of the world vs here in Ireland. Keep up the good work
Hello IFarm WeFarm Adrian love keeping up with your dairy farm too...your daughters might enjoy watching this too, to get a few tips for when you retire can't be long now 🤣
IFarm WeFarm, nice to see you here. hand-pink-waving Soon your girls will also be filming what they are doing on your farm. 💯 TayFarms we are your new yt🐾🐾
I grew up next to a dairy farm in the UK, and our other neighbour was an arable and cattle farm, have fond memories of going into the milking parlour early in the morning for milk for breakfast. Interesting to see how things are done elsewhere, broadly similar but infrastructure and building architecture is a bit different - and there’s way more space!
first time viewer loved the video brings back memories not many dairies left milking in stall barns I'm 75 when I was your age there were a lot of herds of 50 or less cows supporting a family my wife's family milked around 60 cows and supported 2 families don't think you could do that today most dairies today are milking several hundred cows someone works another job for benefits and they are still having trouble making it I've been told the secret is keep debt under control you obviously enjoy it you have to to keep doing it
Very interesting program, my aunt and uncle and cousins had a small dairy and I was born on a small farm, but without the dairy, we left our farm when I was nine, in 1977. My cousin now runs the farm, my aunt and uncle retired, I'm now 54, and will never forget the time when I was a little kid in eastern s.d. we went from the farm by souix falls, to the black hills of s.d which is by rapid city s.d. a small quarter section of 120 acres, I think. It was a great place to be a child, we wound up going bankrupt at the time, is why we moved. I just want to say that I love your program, I just think it's very fun and interesting to watch, keep up the good work
Always good to see another young person milking cows like it’s 1960 lol. Just discovered your channel here a couple days ago. You do nice work! Good video!
My folks had maybe 10 to 15 cows they milk by hand. It was before all the automation in the dairy industry. Enjoy your videos hope you continue making them.
I was born and raised in a big city (Elizabeth, NJ) and I spent the best summers of my life working on a 36 cow dairy farm outside of Honesdale, PA. I milked 6 cows morning and night (that didn't fit in the 30 cow barn) by hand. I am now almost 80 years old and look back on the time I spent on that farm with fond memories Did I mention that I love cows ?
That sounds amazing! I would give anything to have grown up in times like that… the world we live in today does not appeal to me so much! Thank you so much for commenting! Made my day a little brighter! I love that you love cows!!😊
The old days are the best days of ore live. I was working at the farm for 50 years ago and i wich i can back in that time. That days the farms are not big,just big enough doe living. I learning to drive a tractor on a ford,a good tractor . I working there for a hobby for more than 25 years. The had cows,bigs and trees where appels and peers growing . After school, I was always there. The was always someting to do. I went home whene the work was done,some times late in the evening ore at nigt. And yes there was alwase koffie. At the work we drink koffie,and if we go home we drink koffie, ore beer whene it was hot. I Like your films ,and hope you had a great time . I always say ,love the FARMERS live. Greating Marc gordon .
As a ex dairy farmer and now beef farmer,(we milked for 60 years,,then switched to beef in 2000))) UK. I don't miss the ridiculous amount of time spent/wasted in the parlour... Great great video..💯👍💯
Hi Roy again loving your video you say some of the videos are boring but they are not. Some things you take for granted are good learning for some of us keep up the good work. Hi Brent 😊
Really love your videos young lady. Please keep them coming. Love your enthusiasm for your job. God bless and stay safe Taylor. Regards from ireland Patrick Brazil.
A new viewer, I’m a senior and enjoying the farming and homestead and gardening video. Grew up in rural farming areas and it’s nice to see your content, the animals. Thank you for the explanation and nice filming. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Gosh, I didn't know 70 cow operations were still in existence. And a stall shed? Unbelievable! Here in NZ they'd close you down on health concerns. Fonterra would have a field day about it. But I enjoyed watching you. Kinda reminds me of my friends moms farm where she milked 20 jerseys back in the 60s in a stall shed. Separated the cream and fed the rest to some extremely happy pigs lol.
You bring back a lot of good memories my uncle had a farm at New port Maine went there in the summer for vacation he had about 50 cows and the milk barn looked just like the one you are at life was so simple back then, bailing hay take the poop to the fields and rock picking in the fields keep doing the videos
I’m glad! I’d love to go back to those times! The world was a much simpler and better place. You are so lucky to have those memories! Thanks for watching and have a wonderful New Year!!
Great video Tay I'm a new subscriber I like all your videos your farm kicks butt tonight's milking went great thank you for so much for taking me along take care and God bless and I'm looking forward to more videos
When I was young I lived on a 600 Cow Dairy Farm in Florida so I used to watch the cows go to the barn every morning all you have to do is get one going in the rest follow LOL but you do a good job very good job thank you for the video please be safe and careful looking forward to your next one
Loved watching your video and catching up on your channel, I always enjoy finding another small farm to add to my nightly watch list 😊 We have been looking into dairy lately so I love seeing a smaller set up!
Love watching your videos l like the setting of your milking picked ideas am building my small farm, you are very hard working and appears to enjoy what you are doing
You are a very hard worker !! After being so use to milking without thinking about it, I was very impressed that you could describe each step to the camera without missing steps !! All I can say is job well done young lady !!!! Thank you for sharing your journey called life !!! I know that you will accomplish what ever you desire in life !! Stay safe and God bless you and yours !!! Eddy ( retired heavy equipment field mechanic Virginia coal mine)
i wish when i was milking my herd of brown swiss i could of found some one like you!!! now the herd is gone and i am all alone no kids and dont know what to do with the farm any more. keep up the good work i just found your videos and i enjoy them a lot.
Hi!! And welcome to the channel. Glad you enjoy watching! So sorry to hear about your farm…Brown Swiss are a beautiful cow, I’ve always loved their goofy personality.. they can be awfully stubborn at times though..
Very nice video. I always milked in a parlor so I find it very interesting in how it's done in a tie stall barn. Stay true yo yourself and keep up the good work.
Man, you do a great job and work hard. I grew up raising hogs, that was hard work too. I hate working with livestock, but I’ll sit in tractor with a grain cart or a grain truck for 16 hrs. Row cropping is easy money .
Taylor I am a new viewer to your videos and I enjoyed it so much I am from Massachusetts and we don’t have many farms left so it’s refreshing to watch a small farm at work The only thing I noticed about your video is when you were talking close to the loader the noise was a little louder than you when you were talking but I kinda got the just of what you were saying I love the aromas accounted with farms like fresh cut hay and manure, I know it sounds kinda corny but that’s the way I am and I really like cows they are not as dumb as people think they are actually really intelligent You do such a great job and I think if you did have a helper they could never keep up with your routine So I wish you all the luck in days and years to come you really seem to enjoy what you are doing
Nice video young lady. How long does it take you to milk 70 cows by yourself. What do you think your total of Pre Milk , Milk, and Post Milk time is? Keep up the good work, the world needs more hard working young ladies like yourself.
Thank you! It takes about 1.5 hours to do the actual milking by myself. Probably all the chores together take around 3.5 hours I’d say. Thank you so much you are too kind! Hope you have a wonderful evening!
Just found your videos! I like small farm dairying! Our cows wouldn't come in without hay or straw in the gutters! Well, they would come in, but wouldn't cross the gutter! We had a dog that would walk behind the cows as you were hooking them up, no escaping! So, you don't have a bucket milker for the treated cows?
Nicely done video. Nice to see a traditional tie stall barn like i grew up with in NY State 40+ years ago instead of the mega factory farms of today where there are so many untanned farmers walking around. Do they ever feel the sun!
Thanks so much, I know what ya mean. I milked for a couple large parlor operations before coming here and I didn’t last long.. I love the individual attention a cow can receive from a good ole tie stall barn…. Can be harder in ways but in my opinion it is also more rewarding. Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Great stuff Taylor,it's hard work milking on your own,I work on a small pig farm and have 50 too feed twice a day and clean out weekly by hand as we are too small for a tractor but it only takes a couple of hours,I'm in the uk
I can understand you liking to milk on your own, I preferred to milk on my own in a 5/10 herringbone parlour. While at college early 70's we had an online parlour similar to yours but think there are very few if any in th UK now. I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong. Have subscribed to your page as interested how things are done elsewhere in the world.
I know what you mean it’s the same way around here. Very sad that people are more concerned about quantity rather than quality. Not to mention quality of life for the girls 🐄 ! Thanks for commenting😊
@@tayfarms Holsteins.....his Farm Was Called Blue Angel Flats.....in Columbia Cross Roads Pennsylvania.....but he retired a couple years back and just raises beef cows now......
In high school , I always went and helped my friend Bob ,,, They had 90 cows ,,,so i would wash up the milk room ,,and everything they would bring me ,,,That way me and Bob ,could go to town and go looking for girls to go riding around in his car ,,the things we did for our friends ,,haha,,
Safety in number, god forbid u get injured u need other than cow looking out for your six o’clock. I’m a loner too, but I injured myself few years back it totally changed my outlook on being a Lone Ranger.
We had the same issue one year with an over- mature batch of first cut clover. It was like handling bales of prickly sticks! The cows did not like it( dont blame them), and would pick through it for the leaves and flowers. Leaving a huge mess to clean out of the manger every day- not to mention all the feed value they were NOT getting... Our girls ate like slobs, so we didnt have the option of just leaving it for a few days to get thwm to eat more. Itd get waterlogged from the splashing in the watwrcups, and the grain and silage would mix with it, and get gross A new seeding of alfalfa was nearly as bad due to vast quantities of volunteer oats. We had plenty of extra bedding that year, lol. Now, second cut clover/timothy mix? They went NUTS for that! Caught that at the perfect time! Full of flowers and leaves, fine, and soft. So much leaf, it was blueish green. Never had to chase our cows down. They got grain and silage inside- so theyd be waiting at the pasture gate bllowing to let them in! Chow time!!
😂 they do love a perfect clover/timothy hay!! I wish our girls were more interested in coming in for milking, but they’re about as laid back as a cow can be ….. they just lay there staring at you when you yell “milk time!”😆
I just found your channel. I grew up in Wisconsin on a 30 cow dairy farm. Best years, lots of work, but enjoyed it. I worked in the dairy industry. Dairy farmers are the best people. I have a farm in Iowa, no livestock. Enjoyed your video and subscribed. Do you do both milking? Do you forestrip and clean the tests before attaching the teat cups? The sound at times is difficult to hear.
Sorry for bad sound quality, broke the mic on my camera and haven’t gotten it fixed yet… yes I milk both milking alongside my boss…we clean the teats and strip them out before hand. Thanks for commenting!
Thanks. Your videos are getting better. When I worked on my uncles small dairy farm we called the cows to come in. How long does it take by yourself to milk? I loved the Appaloosa colored cow. Hope you can get a wireless mike soon.
Just how many we milked and in a stanchion barn. Cows acted just like those because hands on twice a day. Although each cow had its own place and we feed grain each time we milked. We hardly ever had to go get them.
I hvenever milked in a tied stall barn nor have I milked on a dairy that had fewer then 300 cows but I have milked in stanchion barns and herringbone parlors in Florida and Alabama I used to milk split shift 6 days a week

Always good to check valves as you did. One night we sent the milk of 80 cows down the drain because a hand did not close the bulk tank valve.
Great video young lady ... very informative !! I always imagine myself sleeping in a farm like this on a rainy night whenever I have insomnia ... and it never fails me !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really good videos love farming
Great stuff young lady, it's very interesting to see how things are done differently in other parts of the world vs here in Ireland. Keep up the good work

Hello IFarm WeFarm Adrian love keeping up with your dairy farm too...your daughters might enjoy watching this too, to get a few tips for when you retire can't be long now 🤣
Don't look at this operation as a average stanchion barn example.
@@tayfarms I like work in your farms but have no chance I tried many times but I not found job
IFarm WeFarm, nice to see you here. hand-pink-waving Soon your girls will also be filming what they are doing on your farm. 💯 TayFarms we are your new yt🐾🐾
You are truely amazing. Helped on a 121 head dairy farm as a young boy, and absolutely loved it.

It's been 35 years but I still rember the smells of milk and feed etc. Thank you.
There is something serene and calming about watching cows graze, love it !
Isn’t there! I can’t imagine a cow never being able to see a lush green pasture
Very interesting! Loved how chilled the brown Swiss/ Jersey was when you pull her! 😂
Thank you! Yeah they are all pretty chill 😄
I think that one just wanted some face-time on the tri-pod. LOL

Now, second cut clover/timothy mix? They went NUTS for that! Caught that at the perfect time! Full of flowers and leaves, fine, and soft. So much leaf, it was blueish green.
Never had to chase our cows down. They got grain and silage inside- so theyd be waiting at the pasture gate bllowing to let them in! Chow time!!
😂 they do love a perfect clover/timothy hay!! I wish our girls were more interested in coming in for milking, but they’re about as laid back as a cow can be ….. they just lay there staring at you when you yell “milk time!”😆
Call come boss come boss they should come
very interesting video, different way of milking, cows seem very quiet,what country are you in.
Brought back memories of some heifers jumping over the gutter like it was the Grand Canyon.
That’s so funny, that’s exactly the analogy that I always use!!!
who builds the bale unroller? I know a few companies that make the silage carts that have gas and even electric engines.
First time here ! Are those wood stalls? Wisconsin hasn't allowed wood in dairy barns for 40 years ! Surprised they still allow wood walls lol
I just found your channel. I grew up in Wisconsin on a 30 cow dairy farm. Best years, lots of work, but enjoyed it. I worked in the dairy industry. Dairy farmers are the best people. I have a farm in Iowa, no livestock. Enjoyed your video and subscribed. Do you do both milking? Do you forestrip and clean the tests before attaching the teat cups? The sound at times is difficult to hear.
Sorry for bad sound quality, broke the mic on my camera and haven’t gotten it fixed yet… yes I milk both milking alongside my boss…we clean the teats and strip them out before hand. Thanks for commenting!
Well done
Thanks!
How important is the timing of when they milk? does it affect the cows? You did say 2x a day?
Nice video. Grew up around dairy but run 50 head of beef in SW Maine now. What part of the state are you located?
Thanks. Your videos are getting better.
When I worked on my uncles small dairy farm we called the cows to come in.
How long does it take by yourself to milk?
I loved the Appaloosa colored cow. Hope you can get a wireless mike soon.
Back in the day I learned how to call the cows from my grandmother. She could see they down in the pasture from her front porch.
Just how many we milked and in a stanchion barn. Cows acted just like those because hands on twice a day. Although each cow had its own place and we feed grain each time we milked. We hardly ever had to go get them.
pretty neat...incredible on rain....rain doesn't ever happen in texas
Love the cows, if I wasn't already retired I'd retire again and raise cows............
I hvenever milked in a tied stall barn nor have I milked on a dairy that had fewer then 300 cows but I have milked in stanchion barns and herringbone parlors in Florida and Alabama I used to milk split shift 6 days a week
Cool, thanks for commenting!
