Even in the heat of the summer, cows still need to be milked. On our small family farm, we put the emphasis on family. Every family member on the farm helps milk our small herd of 33 dairy cows. From milking to graining, feeding bottles to silage, the whole family pulls together to get chores done. Come with us and see how chores go in the summertime heat.

@larrymills1487 Год назад

Great to see everyone helping out. You have a great bunch of kids and they are happy helping out. On the flip side they obviously have great parents.

78 lbs is really good considering the heat. Your cows are in such grear shape.

It is so wonderful to see the kids pitch in and help. No complaining about doing chores. Hope Jen’s foot heals up soon.

@alisciamarotta3888 Год назад

Speedy recovery Jen, the kids are doing a great job. Alan you cleaned up, lol. I'm sure it keeps you cooler and looking younger. Enjoy your supper, I'm sure mama made something good, enjoy...you all deserve it, maybe even a little ice-cream. Btw I never seen cows clean as yours, I saw in previous videos, Jen shaving their tails

@christinabaklund2362 Год назад

This is amazing to see kids working. I grew up in the 90’s in west central Minnesota on a small dairy farm! That farm raised work ethic is hard to find in the suburbs now days. I loved everything about that farm life!! I miss it!

@gregkortbein5108 Год назад

The clicking of the pulsators is very relaxing. One of the things I miss from milking cows. Retired now.

@richardhoover7569 Год назад

Nothing better than seeing farm kids helping and having their own animals on the farm. My parents gave me a registered Holstein heifer calf when i was eleven years old. That heifer later became a Gold Metal Dam. Along the way she and her offspring totally inspired me to want to be a dairy farmer.

@dalenoack3929 Год назад

Your kids are getting the best education in life! Brings back memories of doing the same things some 70 years ago.

@SuperKlean 5 месяцев назад

Great to see you with your family! By the way, you may want to try SuperKlean's DuraFlow Dairy Nozzle for mastitis prevention. It also lasts longer than other dairy nozzles and is making cows healthier and happier from better and faster udder sanitation. Dairy farmers are loving it.

Thanks for the video Al, it was interesting watching the kids doing their choirs in the barn feeding the cows & they are responsible enough to know what needs to be done, the 6600 JD combine sounds like there good machines, I've ridden in the 7700 and the 7720, the video kinda reminds me of True Moo commercial in a way, the county fair is going on this weekend and next weekend is Wefest and there's breakfast on the farm at Perham 😋🥞🍳🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄 I'm ad it has cooled off, do you have central air conditioning in your house?

When I was growing up in Central New York State during the 50’s to 70’s or so I lived on a dairy farm with my Dad brothers and sister. We had about 50 to 60 milkers, Holstein on about 1000 acres of land. It is a 24/7 job. You need a lot of knowledge of weather, science, crop rotation, building fence, cutting down trees for fence post, plowing balling hay, putting it in the barn for winter, harvesting oats for grain and straw , harvesting your corn in fall, picking stone deliverying calves, cleaning the barn, spreading manure, currying cows, on and on. Hard life.

i must say it is such a pleasure to see how the kids pitch in with chores. it takes me back to the 50's growing up on an 80-acre small dairy farm. these videos are heads and tails far superior to those farm videos that show 1,000's of cows and 1,000,000 dollar implements. you should be proud.

@cadcad4974 Год назад

Papa here from Missouri, the corn silage you were feeding, does it have bits and pieces of cracked corn in it? In the late '40s & early '50s we would travel to one of my dad's uncle's farms to pick blackberries,& make ice cream. Mom and Aunt Alice would make breakfast with smoked country ham, milk gravy, scratch milk biscuits, fresh eggs, molasses, churned butter, fresh milk, and coffee. Oh, it was so good, then for supper more ham, fried squirrel, biscuits, molasses, mashed potatoes, vegetables from the garden, gravy, churned butter, and for dessert homemade ice cream and blackberry cobbler! Yummy😀 I bet your dinner table is just as amazing! 😊

Best I can tell, Justin is going to be the next generation farmer. The way he took the time to clean out his cows watering bowl tells the story, he has an eye for the details. Used to do the same myself over 50 years ago, when helping at my neighbors farm. Clean water, good feed, cows will take care of you. You all have a great family, thanks for sharing these videos.

Trinity Dairy: The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost working as one. I have been watching your videos for some time. I have seen your children following you and Jen around the farm looking up to each of you as their protector and provider and you could see their love for each of you in their eyes and it can still be seen today. Things have changed over the years, your children are no longer following you, they are right there beside you working with you because they have found a new way to express their love for each of you. You must be so proud of them. What a fine example you and your children are setting for others. God speed to all! Hope Jen is on the mend soon!

@RealJohnWayne Год назад

Hey there Allen and crew, I hope this finds you well? 🙏 I noticed that you have several Jersey cows, which are known for producing more milk fat, and less milk, how do those 2 facts balance out in a small family farm such as yours? I hope y'all have a good one! 🐄 🐂 👍 🇺🇲

@trinitydairy Год назад

Components are getting to be more important than volume. But, even our Holsteins are bred for higher components, too. Jen's old Jersey will milk up to 80 pounds a day at peak lactation, so even the Jerseys put pounds in the tank.

It seems like you know what you're doing but just be VERY careful about cutting back grain. I did that once when milk price was low and the cows did well for a while and then they suddenly crashed , and took me over a year to get them back up again.

@Webb63 Год назад

What a change to see kids working and being involved in a worthwhile activity instead of having their heads buried in a video game. As a teenage boy in the 70,s we worked 7 days a week on the layer chicken farm and hog farm. It was tiresome work, but I wouldn't trade those memories for any amount of money. Back then all the boys and many girls were in the FFA, now our crazy school system down here doesn't even have FFA or home economics 😢. You're doing it right and those children love it. Good job. Keep the videos coming. 🙏 For 🇺🇸

My Aunt's Jersey herd was about that size(milking 35), she had some real champion cows that rivaled Holsteins in production I guess. A few the udders were so big and heavy she had, for lack of better words, bras for them that strapped over the hips to hold up the milk bag and keep the teats from getting stepped on. Glad you got some rain
