    Hey, Anne of all trades! Please stop selling yourself short. 💗☺You just "did" science! You are smart. Look at what you've accomplished... and look at how many people admire you, if your accomplishments aren't enough. You should have a biology degree with all you know to run a farm. Said with all of the love and honesty in the world. You are great. That's why I keep watching. Best wishes for going from strength to strength. Angela

    Several years ago I was doing geology fieldwork on a couple of farms. One of them was a former sheep farm which the current owner had inherited from his father. It was in bad condition with damaged soil and pasture when he inherited it. He destocked and switched to breeding Hereford stud bulls. Over 20 years later the soil and pasture were the best in the district and he had prize winning bulls. They were so docile he could call them and they would come to the paddock fence for a scratch and a hug. They were so used to it that once when driving through his paddocks I'd just got back into my Landcruiser after shutting the gate when one came up and stuck his head through the window demanding a scratch. I obliged but I had too much respect for their strength and bulk to risk a hug.

    Anne, you are a monster. I ran my pinky into the grinding wheel wall sharpening gouges and over the period that took two heal and rehabilitated. I can't tell you the number of times I screamed and frustration every time it got away because it wasn't working the way I wanted it to. I'm sure it happens off camera, I'm just shocked it doesn't happen more on camera.

    I don’t know how you do it. Live in an urban area. Went from 1 garden bed to 5. Working on getting canning skills up to par. No farm animals , poultry or livestock allowed, but for years did feral cat TNR. I just retired early and I am only sustaining the cats I trapped ( some sneak in) but that along with my indoor cats and two dogs, one of which is a 140#+ livestock guardian rescue , is crazy expensive. So glad your heifer is pregnant. Great job. 🎉❤😊

    Just saw your infomercial. I love that you express your learning disabilities upfront. I, too, had issues with learning to read due to being clinically diagnosed with dyslexia and epilepsy. Now, i haven't had a seizure since i was 8, and I'm obsessed with learning anything from changing a mass airflow sensor on an 04 tracker, homeschooling, to changing my dryer elements, gardening, cake decorating, you get the point. Anything of in the present interest...
    Now i have a daughter with the same issues i had. Shes socially awkward, has reading issues, and takes medications that make her tired. But with my own background, I'm fully confident that by the end of this journey, she will have a fully viable life, and will inevitably cultivate her own love of learning...
    Even though it was a struggle, compared to her siblings, she knows how to read, write, and arithmetic. So, taking it slow, we got this.
    I'm a new sub just because of you pushing through societal-norms. 😉

    More slack is required. You guys are doing very well and you are healing which is a process, never instant. We owned our own business and what I learned early on was to live with disappointment. We would plan a vacation with the kids and the day before or the morning of taking off an employee would quit or something else would happen and I’d have to tell the kids we had to cancel And make that on with that. We’d often do some thing smaller and closer to home but it was something I had to learn to deal with so I didn’t feel swamped. Do what you can so that you do not stress your recovery. Get friends and you can and freeze together. We all did this at the canning house. On the school property. Big cutting tables large pots and gas stoves. In a week everyone in the community had the canning done. Be safe, be patient.

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  11 месяцев назад +13

      Thank you! I’m so thankful for some good news with the cows after the absolute rollercoaster they’ve put me through the last 2 years. I took Reba to our other property to run with our beef cows to test whether or not she’s actually shedding the virus or is just a carrier. It makes her a lot less valuable because we can’t milk her anymore, but she is such a great cow and has been such a patient teacher for me that I want to keep her around and give her the best life possible as long as I can.

    Anne, I'm so glad to hear the good news! 😃👍🏼🐄👊🏼 ..... I happened to notice that the video length is 11:11 ..... In numerology, 11:11 is considered to be a significant moment in time for an event to occur. It is seen as an example of synchronicity, as well as a favorable sign or a suggestion towards the presence of spiritual influence. It is additionally thought that the repetition of numbers in the sequence adds "intensity" to them and increases the numerological effect..... Also, in Simple English (Ordinal) Gematria ( A=1, B=2,C=3.... Z=26) 11:11 written out as "ONE ONE ONE ONE" Has a numerical value of 136 which is also the same value of the following phrases.... ANNE'S PRAYER = 136 ... GOD DID HEAR YOU = 136 .... FINAL TESTING = 136 .... PREGNANT COW = 136 .... ELLA WAS SPARED = 136 .... 🙏🏼❤️

    So relieved that you got a positive! It's heartbreaking to have to cull animals that you fall in love it. I admire your willingness to work this hard to milk cows. Gave up milking after the first year. I got my first Jersey 15 years ago. Got a miniature bull to have on hand. He was part mini Zebu which gave him a great temperament, and a little Jersey but looked like a mini Red Angus. They lived together and produced babies until last year when the bull developed such bad arthritis we had to let him go. That bull was my best friend. The only drawback to having them together was that BooCow got bred soon after going into heat, which produced 10 out of 12 bull calves, which went for meat in someone's freezer. Fortunately the last baby Nellie Bellie was a heifer so the cow will have company now that Jed is gone. Obviously, I'm not doing this for a living!

    I am a big dude who can easily take care of himself. I also personally have zero issue killing a dangerous animal. I worked for a farmer back in the day who kept bulls with his dairy herd. They are dangerous and should not be trusted. When artificial insemination is commonplace, it’s simply not worth the risk of keeping a bull.

    • @AnneofAllTrades

    @Hi_Im_Akward 4 месяца назад

    Your cat might eat her food in front of you because you are safe. Eating is a vulnerable time.
    Also, I think you have incredible strength to work around those hard decisions. I'm a meat and dairy eater, I believe that its ok to have farm animals, form an attachment and give them a good life, but its true that if an animal serves a purpose of production and costs you a lot of money to keep around, you can't just let them be there as pets. It's hard to grapple with at times because of the bond you share and the risks of brining in more livestock. Its part of the lifestyle and Im not sure I could do that.

    Now that you have proven cows AI is an option.
    Bringing superior genetics into your herd without having to deal with a Jersey bull is a big step forward.
    If you want a gentle bull look into a Guernsey. The butterfat isn't quite as high as Jersey but the temperament is worth it.
    It depends what you want from your milk. Non fat solids go Friesian, butterfat go Jersey, general purpose with superior flavours try Guernsey or AIS (Australian Illawarra Shorthorn).
    As for bulls AIS Bulls are gentler the bigger, little ones can be like Jerseys or Ayrshire. AI gives you the choice to keep a good hybrid bull.

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  9 месяцев назад

      We’ve not had good experiences with AI so far but I’ve actually landed on Dexter jersey crosses (Belfairs) as my cross of choice (improved teats for hand milking, smaller calves for easier births, smaller stature makes for easier keepers, gentler temperament, superior tasting beef, and I’m currently raising the Dexter bull we’ll use for next year’s dairy calves. That’s what we’ll be doing for tne foreseeable future, but I’m taking an AI class so I can try some other experiments and use him as a cleanup bull. I’d like to try a Jersey Normande cross at some point to see what it does for butterfat. This is the video I made about our AI experience up till now. ruclips.net/video/Jmkk1WWnBe4/видео.htmlsi=YTVzBpQKSzDxMCpt

    Something I don't understand is, what happens to the calf? Do you keep it and raise it? From watching Anne's and other's content, It seems like the cow has to get pregnant every year to keep producing milk....so I think there's a lot of babies running around somewhere??

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  11 месяцев назад +2

      Heifer (girl calves) get raised up to become dairy cows. Bull calves (males) get steered and raised for beef. I’ve raised all bull calves and have only gotten this one heifer so far, Ella, in a string of really bum luck, especially as we’ve had to try to replace 3 of our main adult milk cows this year due to the BLV outbreak.

    How can you keep Reba if she is positive?

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  6 месяцев назад

      So 80% of cows that test positive for BLV never actually show symptoms of the disease or have a risk of actually spreading it (it’s that 20% risk that is terrifying to a small dairy like ours). Knowing Reba appeared to be totally healthy, once we’d removed who we suspected was patient zero from the herd entirely, we moved Reba over to our other property with our beef herd as part of a test: only cows that are actively shedding (speeding) the virus need to be culled, and cows that test positive for the virus have potential to have calves that have a super immunity to the virus, so I put her in with the beef herd to test whether she was actually shedding the virus or if she had just tested positive, and none of our beef cows have tested positive since the move, even the bull she was bred to after breeding, so I am hoping to let her live out her days the way she deserves too, and hopefully get a couple more dairy calves with super immunity from her in the process.

Since she has produced 3 healthy calves, and isn’t actively shedding the virus, I didn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t continue to give her the best life possible and see if I can’t get another replacement heifer from her down the line. Since all this started a year and a half ago, I’ve been testing all my cows every 3 months so I’ll know if anything changes.

      Yes, I’ve currently got 3 Jersey/Dexter cross calves. They have a much nicer temperament. The ideal would be finding a Dexter bull who can breed all our ladies. Dexter bulls are much kinder and more gentle so that would be far less of a concern keeping one around the farm.
