Family Milk Cow / a few things I wish I would have known before buying one 

This is a straightforward VLOG that's educational with no nonsense flowery statements like other vlogers just for cuteness but this is an informative & direct to the point with cuteness with her cows showing affection to her. I love this. Thanks, I learned something I need to know.

Excellent video! I have three milk cows. Two Jerseys and one Jersey/Fresian. You can band a cow with horns. We did. We waited two years before we did it. The horns were full size and she was using them to push around one of the other cows. Then we found that if she made a quick turn we possibly could get hurt so we researched it. What we did is use a bander tool to put the band over the horns. It took several weeks to fall off. They have been off for several years now and she’s doing just fine. She’s a Jersey. The other two cows when they were calves we had the vet out to cauterize the buds. The vet numbed the area up before he burned the buds. We used Desitin ointment according to the vet so that the wounds would heal properly. Also get Thorvin kelp. Joel Salatin talks about the benefits (pink eye etc). Our vet told us to get minerals especially calcium and magnesium because our area soil is deficient in it and the vet said that can cause mastitis. So we ended up getting 12 Stones All in one sold by Advanced Biological. I tried Fertrell’s but they don’t hold a candle to the 12 Stones one. Thought I would share! Thanks for your video. It’s hard to find good informational videos! So thank you!

Thank you for the straightforward guidance. Definitely helpful.

I love this!!! I also think that getting a bottle baby is easier because you can start a trusting relationship

I loved this video! I look forward to learning more about cows from you!

More videos please! Love you. Looking forward for more. God bless you

This is one of the most informative videos on the subject. Thank you so very much!

Oh my gosh, so helpful, thank you! This is the most informative video I've found.

finally an actual video thats straight to the point!

I know nothing about dairy cows and this is the first video I watched about them , very informative thank you !

I don’t have a cow and definitely not planning on getting a cow but I still watched the video because it was so fascinating lol! You are so sweet! :)

We are planning on purchasing a dairy cow in 2022 and this video is very helpful! Thank you!!

This video is incredible! Thanks deeply for your VERY knowledgeable information. You have such a relaxing and confident way of filming. I could watch for an hour. Thanks again. It’s obvious the sweet cows stole your heart. Blessings from Manitoba Canada.

Wow! I accidentally stumbled upon this video looking for a poem about a Jersey cow. Really informative.

Stumbled on your page and really appreciate your information.

You truly have been through the ringer with arses selling you duds thanks for sharing all your learnt tips ! Experience is worth weight in gold..

Angel, I just love your homestead life. I will be coming back to this video one day in the near future when I have my own 💗

Thank you for your sincere advice

Loved your vid so informative & enjoyable!!!

That was an awesome informative video! Thank you

Thank you for the information. I have my first Heifer. due to calf in 2 mo. looking for all the info . Your cows are awesome. I will have 2 . will pick up my next heifer in 2 mo. My husband and I have been working on fencing for them so I can rotate them.

More video please. This was very educational

So helpful! Thank you!

Excellent content!

Awesome video! Thank you. You and your animals are so dang cute ❤

:) Nicely presented and very useful, thank you.

So good! Thank you!

Thank you! Just bought my first mini Jersey heifer. She is "bred"...need to get that vet checked.

Great video! Your cow loves you lol

Having a cow finally became a reality for my family and I. She has the perfect background, but…. She is mean as she could be. She is a heifer and is pregnant. What can we do to sweeten her up. She seems like she wasn’t handled much before she can to us and she has been trying to boot us with her head. She is absolutely beautiful and I just wanna hug her but instead, she only lets us pet her while she is eating. She has gotten the nickname Mean Mouse for now but we named her Honey. Please help. I don’t wanna be afraid of her when it’s time for calving and milking.

Very helpful, thank you!!

Sounds like you need a good relationship with a farmer you can trust. Great video

Very helpful… Thank you

Thank you for the video

Thank you!

Could you please upload more cow videos? Your cows are much more cute and moooo better than others 😍

You could also use the castration band method to remove their horns if they r older cows.

Could you do another of these regarding the pasture, barn, feed etc one would need in getting ready for a milk cow?

Just found this video great info

Great video! You should try milking needles, that’s what my daughter uses and they really save your hands…

Thanks

Hi Angel! Thank you so much for such an informative video. I am looking at a 4 year old jersey cow now, she is in milk and has a calf on her BUT she was not bred back and it's been 6 months since she had her calf, I have heard that since around 5 months they are in peak production that it may be challenging to get her bred. My questions are #1 should I or CAN I dry her off before trying to get her bred? Or maybe just stop milking and leave the calf on her so maybe her production slows and she can cycle again? Also, after she is successfully bred does she come back into milk during her pregnancy? Or does she have to calve again in order for milk production to start back up? Thank you so much for your time!

I'm considering getting one next spring or summer because I have 7 kids lol

She loves you

what is the excact name of the mastitis strip test you used. they seem much easier then what i use

I have a question… so my jersey threw her calf on April 12th. So we’re in week three. I’m calf sharing. I separate them and milk her and reunite them. She is being fed alfalfa flakes, alfalfa pellets, grains and a mineral supplement. I am able to strip her out and her bag looks empty. She yields about 6 gallons a day. I’m getting barely any cream at all. Like, I get that calf sharing decreases the quantity of cream but I’m getting like a quarter of an inch of thick cream and an inch of light cream. Barely anything, and the milk tastes like skim milk. Is it because she’s early in her lactation cycle? Show I throw some regular hay into her ration? I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. This is her first lactation cycle ever too maybe that has something to do with it?

Do you keep your milk cows in a pen near the barn? We had one when I was young but I can’t remember. I want to purchase one when we move out to our farm for good and I’m trying to plan ahead.

Where do I get the test for mastitis? I’m in the process to get my first milk cow 😬😳

What do you do with all of the milk? how do you handle it?

Sooooooo cute! I wonder if they make miniture milk cows.. maybe just a minute male cow... Cows are sooooo cute!! How much space does a milk cow need?

I am from India, I am a dairy farmer, Hi Mam

I love Maggie

Hi I just come back after my shower

Would it be okay to milk a jersey cow once or twice per week? Or does it need to be daily?

So if I milk my stock cows........ is it considered Dairy quality ??? Its ok if the somatic cell count is through the roof.........along with the bacteria counts ?

So what do we do with the extra milk if we can't sell it or share it

What breed of cow is this?

Great video! Cows are truly the best - at least, a good one is ;)

hi.....😁😁😁😁

Can you do a video that you milk a cow that is just for fun like 20 mins

question: Do you re impregnate the same cow once they stop making milk or do you get a new cow? and if you impregnate your cow what do you do with the baby cow? If its a female would it become another dairy cow when its ready to have calves? what would you do if it were male? Thank you to anyone who can answer these questions!

Do cows afraid of hight?

Get a rumble account too

Helo

Does the cow ever poop while milking?

Do you milk daily

u need a kirby grip for your hair

I don’t understand the wording she’s using, I wonder if she brought the cows already pregnant or just after having a baby. If they were pregnant with a male I wonder what you do with it.

Are there any diseases the cow needs to be screened for before drinking the milk

Cows need socialising. The fact that HE could milk her no problems doesn't mean that anybody can milk her. If the cow was used to him and only him that would explain your issue.

Which country you live?

These youtube insta farmers my God. “Things I wish I would have known!?” Maybe learn farming before buying animals. And you cant learn it in a video!!!! The amount of calls I have to respond to as someone whos family has farmed for 200 years is astounding. Animals dying because these people think after watching a video they are ready to raise or milk a cow. Heres some advice. You arent ready. You dont know what you are doing. Stop learning on animals and having them die of shit like colic or you drinking colostrum that was meant for a new calf. There should be fines for these idiots.

Please see this verse it tells the 2 characteristic of what a saint is so its very important. Revelation 14:12 1599 Geneva Bible 12 [a]Here is the patience of Saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Promoting and normalizing keeping an innocent slave to impregnate, take her baby and steal her milk for no necessary logical reason is cruel and insane. With the money it will cost to feed her and pay veterinarian bills you could buy a shit ton of plant milks and vegan cheeses and vegan yogurts and still have money left over to donate to an animal sanctuary to reverse your bad karma
