"Jo" keeps saying, "No WHEY am I doing this!" Lol!!! Im glad its progressing a bit safer for you but I am more convinced than ever that working with the new potential milking cows as babies and onto being heifers along the way to becoming first time moms is the best route. No matter how gentle some of my huge beef cows are, just one kick from them and you're toast kind of battle ground makes me want to toss my pig-nosed-hat in and say, "nope! No WHEY!" 🤣😂
Wow Jolene done so much better. She has a really nice utter for a smaller breed .. Mike you amd Kelsey are an amazing team thats for sure. I love watching you guys milk the cow.
Wow you can't taste the difference- well yes it was just a first top off. So glad I got to see the kick bar in action - you definitely need a proper milking extension so Joelene know her boundaries That may even help with the kicking. Great Job though Guys- bit nerve racking at first though 🙄🙄. Cheers Denise- Australia
I would put 2 4x4s in the back, like you have in the front, and then 1 2x4 or a pipe going horizontal from the front to the back, always making sure that whatever you use horizontally is above the udder, never under, because if the cow drops or does something weird, your arms will get trapped and they'll break. I would stay away from using cattle gates and excellent video as always. Ps: You forgot to mention what your favorite milk taste is between cow or goat?
In our next barn we will be able to do something better. Your suggestions are exactly what I want to do. But I am maxed out of space. Of course if Kelsey got rid of some goats we could have a better set up. I have it set up now so it is working! Next video😄
@@SweetBriarFarmMichiganI missed what happened to your jersey? We used to have one, made the best butter too. I'm sure things will get better once she gets the hang of being miked. Thanks for sharing!
So our newJersey has just had her calf and is not impressed with us milking and i see your cow can’t kick device sucks as bad as ours. They still kick. We use the milk Machine and stay on the hose to move it quickly. She’s learning fast and only a couple solid blows has she delivered to us. Did you add the additional sides to the stanchion. We done use one but are very tempted to add one as leads just stretch too much.
Yes we added some gates. the playlist has the entire process. (Milk training cows) I will be modifying our setup this spring with some solid gates. We have actually been working with a company in Ireland on a new anti kick device we will be sharing soon!
