The care and attention you put into all of your animals is really heartwarming Neline. Your a great person and we all appreciate and admire that. The world needs more people like you
So grateful that there are people in this world like yourself that care and provide for animals in all aspects of their lives. Having been involved in the agricultural industry for many of my working years I must say all I've worked with in that time where very similar as yourself.
I am sorry that you lost Molly's mom. I just admire your care and empathy for the animals that you and your family raise to produce what we have here in Canada 🇨🇦. You're a great shepherdess too.❤
Sorry for your losses. When I went into the city yesterday there was a cow laying in the ditch just east of Sandy Ridge. Didn’t look like it got hit but it too had passed.😢
Big hugs girl it sucks sending you lots love and looking forward to watching Molly grow . Thank you for sharing your time and energy with us we truly appreciate it 🤩🤩🤩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry for your loss of Maeko. It's always difficult when one of the herd is lost that was tamed. My first was when I was about 9 y/o and said I would never get close to any of the cows again, but I did as you just cant help yourself when your cows mean so much to you. Little Molly is very cute and will help keep Marko's memory with you. Best wishes from Scotland
I'm sorry neline, as much as we sometimes try not to become attached to some animals. It's often the ones we try not to get attached to that we end up attached to the most. I know our words help, but can't replace whet you have lost.
condolences about mako ..... Always love seeing the calves (and the kids too) ... and since you're on a goat oddysey ... at some point you have to get a fainting goat ... the videos don't do them justice
Howdy Neline, I hope ya'll are doing well, Your little goats make me laugh every time, they are so energetic and entertaining to watch, I think your brother Jan, doesn't want to make RU-vid videos anymore, he recently took several months off, with no warning, and he's missing in action, once again ?? Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends
Reckon will be looking down on your herd from her cloud and her beautiful daughter molly will follow in her mums hoof prints yes it certainly sucks losing a special cow like mecko a beautiful ending to a beautiful special cow mecko she's watching from above ❤
I remember her. If I remember correctly I think Jon was big on her also. I'm an old dairy kid so I can remember cows. She was one of those who people really loved.
Sorry to hear about your loses. Having followed you and your brother, I know you both with your parents as professional farmers are very aware of Avian Flu. I am wondering if you can speak to it on a video. It was the first thing that popped to my mind when you spoke of the sudden death of Meko (sp). I understand this may be a sensitive topic for your business so if you prefer not to address it I understand. Thanks for the great videos, love them.
When you lose a producing dairy animal for no apparent reason, do you have an autopsy performed to determine cause of death to potentially protect the remaining herd?
One more thing what meal is that you give to the calves aside the milk I see two buckets one for milk and other what do you include ?at what age do u start giving them?
@@lesliemuneeza5696 They add the calf sire's name. The feed is called 'calf starter.' It's basically mixed grains soaked in molasses. It can be fed from day 1. However, the calves usually don't eat much on the first day. After being force fed 4 liters of colostrum. They usually eat it for around the first 12 weeks. Once they're weaned off milk and moved to the group calf pens, they're switched to calf grower pellets and straw.
@@lesliemuneeza5696 After the calves get their first colostrum, They feed them 2 liters of milk twice per day. Every 10 days, they raise the amount by half a liter per feeding. Until they reach the cap of 3.5 liters per feeding, or 7 liters per day.
I appreciate the sentiment! I do want to say though, that most farmers are animal lovers (and love their animals). It would be a pretty miserable life if we didn’t love it and the animals with everything we have.
So sorry for your losses. Let us know if you find out what caused y’all to loose them. And btw why are your animals so unloved SAID NO ONE EVER. You are going to have a very hard time taking your goats to market/ selling them because you’re so attached to them.
