Cow Updates and Explanation of Somatic Cell 

Thanks for the talk about SCC. I learned a lot. But I became very frustrated not finding out how you now identify. I see you no longer identify as a conspiracy theorist, but you wouldn't lean back long enough in your selfie for me to read how you now refer to yourself. I once told a lie and I quickly wrote that lie down. That way instead of a liar, I then became the author of fiction.😊

Very good explanation of a complicated problem. I don't think many people nowadays understand how skilled farmers have to be. There are so many aspects of farming that we need to know that it's no wonder we're losing so many farms. Thank you once more for an interesting video, despite the background noise. 🙂

Very interesting, thank you for sharing

I do think your explanation was good and it makes it more understandable. I hope Esther gets better so you don't have to be so careful. I do have a question, though. When she has one quarter that is problematic, and here is where I am showing my lack of understanding. Do the individual teats have a milk source shared by all and is it just when the milk is taken from that area that make the SOC go up or are they individually supplied? And will it be a problem if you don't milk that one teat. Don't know if that is clear. Anyway, where I worked, we had a Doctor who would always send his patients in for physical therapy with the diagnosis=Somatic Dysfunction of the Low Back area. When I asked the therapist what that meant, he laughed and said, "Somethings wrong with the low back." It was a generic diagnosis, that this doctor just always used. He wasn't someone I would ever have wanted to have as my doctor. Thanks for the information!

Dairy is Complicated work😅 *Endless regulations drive me bananas!

Stormy starting to bag up.when are the girls due? SCC cows hard to fix. Last night was great to enjoy life at the farm . Seeing your farm across the fields from Advent. Rd., sun shinning on your place looks beautiful. Cow's look happy in the nice cool barn. Pipe line makes alot of noise for sure , could still hear your talk about sell count. Very interesting, lots to know on dairy farming. God bess our day.😊

Good job Mom . Farms like yours with well cared for animals i always believe is the way to go . Hands on know each cow. Dont need to be a mega dairy to be the best . Thanks to you and your Family 😊

When we shipped milk two tank samples showed high SCC the dairy would send out a inspector

Keep up the good work and the great videos. 😊😊

Cows are looking great! Thanks for the explanation on somatic cell count

A note from Tommy, in the past Hank made a video of a day in the life of farm kids. in that day he showed Wilson raking the hay, later Hank baled that hay and Mr Keith wrapped the hay while George was in the house making cookies. later that day at milking hank and wilson cut fresh grass for the cows while George was in the house making cakes. Hank said George was gonna be a great Baker one day as his cakes and cookies are the best, it why we asked what George was working at. we did not expect such a change in him. Bakers are needed everywhere and our small home town lost its baker a few years ago, not until one of our uncles from ukraine wanted to buy the old bakery but the asking price was more than he and his family earned a bakers in ukraine in 25+ years. we knowing the owner had a talk with him, he is in his 90's and wanted city prices but with our help he reduced his asking price and uncle and family are now the new owners of the Bakery. its bad for us as we lost 9 workers from that family.

❤️👍👍💙

You explained SCC very well. First time for me hearing the term, but I now have a good grasp of what and why. I'm glad you're so vigilant with testing and treating your dairy cows. 👍
