I like your focus on doing things simply on your farmstead. I think that's what makes it seem like I could do this too, without needing allllll the expensive equipment. And yes, absolutely it would be a lifestyle change!
love watching your videos! always excited to watch the next one. our family has slowly been doing more and more of this for ourselves. learning a lot from all your videos keep it up!
Add the amount of compost you generate which makes the soil better every time the land is being grazed. In other cases you compost and use it on vegetable patch as addition to the soil. For 6 liters of milk a day, you would be needing at least 4 goats.
Just a suggestion if you are into alot of cheese making then perhaps get a dairy buffalo. Mozarella is original made from buffalo milk. The fat percentage is 10% in dairy buffalo. I heard in North Eastern USA there are farms that deals with buffaloes. The breeds like Murrah and other Asian breeds produce 20 to 21 liters of milk in a day in dual milking sessions. They are similar to the cows but they produce less milk than the cow but 9 - 10 % fat in it. Perhaps if you are thinking of expanding then a dairy buffalo with the family cow would be great. Buffalo breed from Italy and in India. The size of the buffalo is same as your milk cow.
Yes! We have a hodge podge of premier one fencing that we found used. I think the main one's we have are called electrostop. Not sure if they still make that line. Thanks for watching!

That's so interesting! Never would have thought of buffalo being the same size as a cow but we'll need to look into it!
Are buffalo as nice as cows… in terms of mellow temperament?
Loved how thorough this video was! Thanks for all the information :)
You’re most welcome and thanks for watching!!
Really interested in a cow and considering all that you mentioned. Thanks for all the help
You're welcome!!
Is that electric fence from premierone? Do you know which one it is?
Yes! We have a hodge podge of premier one fencing that we found used. I think the main one's we have are called electrostop. Not sure if they still make that line. Thanks for watching!
Good video, but I don't think you realize how often you cut your hisband off or how you talk over him.
Thanks for the honest feedback! An area for me to grow in and something I've been trying to work on :)
