Rhonda, gotta say that you are still the greatest dairy farm wife that can do it all. And you stay busy and look great doing it . Proves that hard work on a farm makes great Americans
Thank you for what you do, In my county in central VA we only have one dairy farm left, and it has been mid 90's plus for over a month and no rain! Corn and hay fields are burt up, most farms are already feeding hay and buying hay!!
You are sharing your daily chores with us. Thank you. The bottle fed calves are interesting to watch. I did not realize how persistent you have been with some calves. Everyone has a job to do at Acres of Clay.
When dairy farms were smaller and all the cows came in the barn at once to be fed and milked, each cow had their stall and the would go to the right one every time. The cow herd had a boss cow and she was usually the first one to come in.
Great video , we are Dairy farmers from Southern Ireland 🇮🇪 and it’s amazing to see how you milk your cows for the first milking and feed the calf and it’s almost exactly the same as we do , we also do most of our own field work and we bale and wrap with a mchale fusion .
Great video as Always. It doesn’t get any more Real than this. Hard Work makes your Team a Success. Your Kids are Very Lucky to have such Great Role Models.🙏
Thanks for the video Rhonda! Lots of interesting things to learn - that bale wrapper is a great outfit for wetter hay. Good luck on your construction project - maybe you will find out why the boards are many different lengths - I'm sure it makes sense!! Have a great week! 😀
Learning something about the dairy business every video Rhonda !! Thank you and your precious family !!! Dad and I did a little beef raising many moons ago!!! You all be safe and God bless !!!! Eddy
So, this is what Sunday morning church looks like for cows. They probably feel good after service. I love cows milk; God did a good work when he made it. I have been away from the farm a long time. I never seen a bail wrapper. You always do nice job filming. 🤔🤔🤔🤠🤠🤠🤠
Thank you for the video! We are out of town this week but miss our home in Michigan. Hear there is a storm coming. Be safe and can’t wait for the next video.
Green Acres of Clay, always good to see you and Kevin feeding American. Quit blaming the chicken tracker on McKenzie. You have probably built a baker's dozen in your lifetime. Come on girl, you're rocking those jeans. Build us a chicken coup, No boys, just you... As always God Bless
I love that you guys take pride in your farm. Too many big dairys out there. 2 miles a farm is all ready milking 1600 cows and are preparing to add another 6500 head
My youngest son and I just finished our first cutting. We'll have a second cut in a couple of months, hopefully we can get a decent amount. My wife and I made our chicken run out of cattle panels, we do have a few smaller chickens that can fly out, most don't. There's a farmer about 6 miles or so down from my mom's place that uses a line wrapper, does round bales with his. Once again you've got some cute calves. Enjoyed watching, thanks and have a good evening!
Wrapping bales makes good sense rather than starting a small bunk area for one field. Did you see where 10th Generation Dairymen has built 3 silos and is getting away from bunkers.? The purpose is for more automated feed system
Wrapping is interesting and i had to google it. I understand it ferments to a degree too. It said that 8 mil plastic is the best. This is cool. God bless guys.
Hi Ronda. I never knew that you wrapped the Square Bales. I’ve seen Round Bales that were wrapped but the video was so informative and was so interesting I guess because of all the great weather you are running out of room to store the bakes which is very good All the Moon Moos look good and healthy. Keep up the great work As always your good friend from Massachusetts Kenny Dean 😊
El ordeño, me imagino es una actividad diaria, que sumada a lo otros quehaceres de la granja, demandan más de 12 horas de trabajo cada día... Admirable labor! 🤔👏👍
It's been a pretty humid and damp summer here so far in the north east. I don't know if we're stuck in this weather pattern now or what but it seems like the last few years it's been slightly tropical around here makes it hard to make good hay or get anything done for that matter. Regardless though things are looking good over there in Michigan happy Sunday!
we have been having problems making dry hay because of the rains we keep getting. my neighbor bought a new round baler and after making 3 bales the head feel off of it lol. so i got to help him with that. it was kinda interesting lol
On the farm Channel Sonne Farms you might want to watch them milk a Black Angus cow who doesn't want to nurse her newborn using a special cage to hold the cow
Hello Rhonda Always glad to get to see your Beautiful EYES and that's the luckiest man on earth to have a hard working woman like yourself I worked on a farm for 40 years and work is never done 🤠🍀👀
Too much hay is a good problem to have. The corn behind the rows of wrapped hay is looking good. A couple of videos ago you showed one of Sander's bunnies that had escaped, did anyone ever catch it? We had at least 2 1/2 inches of rain this week and the rivers are all up, not severely though. I've got a 15 1/2 lb turkey in the oven roasting for Sunday dinner. Have a blessed week and stay safe.
I don't know if I've ever heard this from you. On average what is your milks butter fat content. Is it an average milk or something more special? Thanks. Always enjoy your episodes.
kevin since i got zeroed out the first time due to flooding. now like in the fall i plant winter baley for feed elevator in town west of me. man could believe price on winter barley so decided to order and prepay. is that a smart decision.?
