To make milk our cows need to have a calf, and for that they need to be bred! Today Buttercup was in heat and our friends Jay and Michelle came by to artificially inseminate her. They have an AI tank and straws of semen. We had selected a bull with New Zealand and A2A2 genetics from their tank. Breeding took only about two minutes! The other three girls should be ready over the next two weeks. Looking forward to them being Momma cows next spring!

Four months that’s great Stacy! I bet both of you are excited! I hope she takes. That tail extension at the end was nice!

Four months is coming on fast! Its a big transition! Yes, we hope she takes too. Looks like we may be doing some AI again tomorrow for heifer #2.

Just what a non-farmer wants to see. Farmer friends have told me about such things. I can't believe the cow just continues to eat. Thanks for video

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

DAVID HOSMER yes, it didn’t even phase her a bit. We hope you found this video educational, and thanks for watching!

So do we! Thanks for watching!

Do we have pictures of the Daddy or is that not how it works? I can’t wait to see the new babies!

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

We do have the information on the sires. They are all New Zealand grazing genetics and A2A2. We'll have to include some of that info in a future video. Good question! Thanks!

Just found your channel and appreciate what you are doing! That is a nice batch of heifers you have there and I can’t wait to see things progress.

russell tomlinson Thanks! And welcome aboard! It should be quite a journey, so stay tuned!

Ah! Very nice of Jay to lend a hand. That's what friends are for.

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

Jay is great! Him and Michelle have been helpful more than once. Having great neighbors is a true blessing!

Hey, Wamoo! Kipps here. I just found your channel and subscribed. It looks interesting. Particularly the hay making video, as I've never seen a hay elevator actually working.

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

Jonathan Kipps welcome aboard! You subscribed just in time, as we just broke ground on our dairy barn, which we plan to document with RU-vid videos!

@roniniowa1661 5 лет назад

How exciting! Hopefully they all take on 1st attempt. And there are 4 calves. Not to mention four cows in milk!

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

That's what we're hoping for! Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!

@DennysCountryLife 5 лет назад

That's pretty exciting guys! I hope she takes good. Now to build the milking parlor!

@vnthomas16 5 лет назад

Engineers are working on the plans, and we should hear something tomorrow! Then the real work begins!

@SA-yp3xh 3 года назад

Hi there, I was wondering if I can get the info for the AI guy? A business name or something. I tried googling but I'm not getting any for Colville. Do they only do dairy or do they have meat semen? Thanks!

@vnthomas16 3 года назад

Hi neighbors! If you contact us through our website at clovermountaindairy(dot)com I’ll be sure to pass your contact info on to them!

@amazingGrace108 3 года назад

what are the chances of the procedure working? I mean percentage-wise.

@vnthomas16 3 года назад

That’s a great question! I wish I could give you a decisive answer, but there are just so many variables! The skill of the technician, the timing based off of your observations, etc. This season, we successfully bred all four of our heifers and cows on the first try, which is really good! 100%! But we have had animals that take up to three tries. In those cases, I feel it was probably our timing being off more than anything else.

@amazingGrace108 3 года назад

@@vnthomas16 hey, thanks for such a prompt answer. we are about to purchase two lovely holstein sahiwal dairy cows and we have zero experience in all this so any advice regarding AI procedures is highly appreciated. thanks for taking the time to respond.

@vnthomas16 3 года назад

You’re welcome! The biggest factor in a successful AI will be your observation skills in identifying heats. Good luck!
