Milking Our Dairy Herd From Start to Finish - Let’s Go! 

Lots of people. are unaware on dairy farms such as yours and the one i work on of the daily chores. Its a lot more than just milkin the cows. Its everything else that follows, cropping, feeding young stock, taking care of THAT sick cow or calf and O YA, that UNEXPECTED WHAT THE H, that some times GREETS US when we hit the barn, You get up and your set to milk, thn do this or that and you find when the lights come on a cow down or you start milking and something breaks!!! Your videos cover it all, day to day!!! KEEP UM COMIN!! side note as i have said before, NO MANURE SPREADER EVER BREAKS EMPTY nor does A MILKER EVER GO DOWN between the times your NOT using it!!! MILK ON!!! Kevin

I really love your milking videos. I like how you introduce the cows and talk about their different characteristics. It reminds me of my Uncle Dale's dairy farm and are some of my happiest childhood memories. You do a great job and I appreciate your positivity.

Great video Kip enjoyed it very much, yes I watch all of Mike's video's

Awesome video. People don't realize how long of a day farmers put in

Your farm raising and military training are showing through in your training and support of your young help ! A deserved atta boy is priceless in getting the respect and loyalty that you need from your best helpers !!! Get many people stop by at milking time just to BS or to see what's new in the neighborhood ?? Thanks for the video!!

Gotta give you credit for you work ethics. You know what you have to do and you just do it, non stop. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoyed the video. I love that the whole family is involved running the farm.

You might have an older parlor but you really get the job done and it's nice too see how well you keep a close eye on all your cows! You know them well!

I miss milking.. been a few years. I hoping to milk this winter when my works slow down. I always tell people that farming grows on you. I always enjoy washing the parlor down at the end of milking. Thank ful for a good day milking. God bless you!

It helps to have a good worker to fill in, hats off to Cody.

Great video kip!! Glad to see someone putting video on the web of milking cows an how it's really done an the care farmers take of their cattle!!! Dairy farmer of Wisconsin here!!

Looking good from lachute Quebec Canada 🍻

Thank you for the time in your milking parlor very educational. I appreciate your hard work so my family can enjoy dairy products thank you

Can’t wait, love the milking videos Kip! I am a 5th generation dairy farmer from central Wisconsin. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Nice to see local family dairy farms still hanging on! Some day I might have to tell grand kids about the smaller family owned dairy farms that was every half mile in the state not looking forward to that!!

Its awesome that you are happy with what you have. So many dairy farmers are always updating multiple things every year. The bank owns everything

Let me just say great video... We were diary farmers in the UK for 60+years,,then in 2000 switched to beef,, best thing we ever did,,, We never realised how much time we actually spent bloody milking,, crazy,, its so labor intensive,,, 5/6 hours a day,,, Really really great video. 👌👌👌

New to your channel! Am a retired dairy farmer from Virginia! In lawncare now! Really enjoy your videos brings back a lot good memories! You guys have 1st class farm👍

I like your channel. You put good content in your videos. I am a retired farmer, and still follow farming. Keep up the good work.

Love watching your channel Kip ! Nice to see some people still want to work in this world!! 👍👍

I take my hat off to you Kip for milking the 150+ cows in your parlour. 3hrs twice a day is a long time to be milking cows. Do you never think in putting a bigger parlour in? We have put in 8X8 for speed and comfort of our cows. But it works for you and you boys are happy thats all that matters. Great video Kip

good video from start to finish! most people do not realize the work that goes on in the parlor after the milking is done, you don't just milk the cows and turn out the lights and go to the house LOL plus all the feeding and cleaning up outside early mornings and evenings. A dairy farming operation has to be on of the most demanding and exhausting part o the Farming Industry

Love your vids I can see that you are doing what you were put on earth to do and youre great at it and love what you do.

I have to take my hat off. Dairy farmers never really gets a break. 😊 Morning and afternoon every single day. Atleast Kip you have turns on the farm. Enjoy your icecream.🍦

Great video Kip

Great channel Kip, love the content.

Brought back good memories, mom and I milked every evening starting at age 9. We always knew when we were done, same cow was always last in. Thx for great video!!!

4:34 LOL "Turn and burn bro!" Love the commentary Kip!

I'm new to your channel, I have watched one video and seeing how you show care to your cows made me subscribe. Thank you for sharing you dairy farming life on youtube, it is educational and hopefully you continue to share your videos and advices to your viewers.

So much hard work for my glass of milk.Thank you !!

I know what I am talking about when I say you know what you are talking about when it comes to milking cows. Great job, keep going as you are.

A hard working American Dairyman you are , thank you . Now to my glass of Milk.😀👍🏾🚜🐄🐄🐄🐄

Bless the hard working farmers

Very nice 🐄

I like a man who thanks his cows. ❤️

Good video Kip pretty cool start strong finish strong stay safe & warm hello from Daniel from central Mississippi

Awesome video....from those of us that always milked by hand this was very informative!

i love your video s

Nice - looks like a well-oiled machine. We're beef cow/calf, currently starting our calving season. Used to be lots of family dairies around here, but only a handful left. Keep it up - my two girls drink a gallon of milk every two days.

Thank you for all your dairy promotion and excellent dairy management! Great group of cows! Gotta love it! From a fellow dairy farmer in south east Wisconsin to you Kip! Thank you

Looking forward to the video Kip hello from Daniel from central Mississippi

Thanks for that good video, red cow are my favorite.

This is really cool. Ive been looking for channel from michigan. im about 3 hours north west of you. keep up the solid work!

Great video Kip lets go do it

Kip , I want to thank you for making these videos , I know you have a lot on your plate already . I watch your videos with my grandson . It’s so nice for him to see where our food comes from and the hard work it takes for farmers to get it there . We really enjoy your videos .

Love the videos. Grew up on a dairy farm we milked 90 head of holstein. Sold the farm awhile back. Looking into starting my own dairy. Just have a flat parlor now wanna build a double 4 parrel parlor with a pit. Just a pipe dream right now. Waiting to see what happens to deans with the bankruptcy.

Great job

👍👍👍👍

Great Job!!!!!!! Milk Makes The Body Great!!!!! Thanks so Much!!!!!

Watching from Kindersley Saskatchewan,a grain farmer

Kip just love your show

I know it's one look but I think Cody is a good hand, patient with the heifer shows his worth

Hey Kip, Great video! I grew up on a small family dairy in the 70s and 80s. I recognized the NuPulse milkers, and it looked to be that some of the pipeline might have been from a Surge system or maybe just the transfer line from the receiver to the bulk tank, but I'm questioning if I'm hearing a Bou-Matic vacuum pump, Bou-Matic FR-4A 7.5 HP? I grew up with DeLaval but had some neighbors that had Surge and Bou-Matic, so some vacuum pumps are very familiar. Thanks! Scott - MN

You do an awesome job of videos! Even us dairy farmers who do it everyday like you guys never get tired of seeing a well put together milking video Keep them coming and god bless!

Thank you for this video, very interesting to see farming in american way, just a little bit other wise than here in Germany ;-). Best wishes from Germany, Gerrit. :-)

great videos...! would you consider doing a video of how your entry\exit\pulley system works within the milking parlor...?

👍 keep on rolling..

Watching this channel, and other channels really makes me want a job milking cows. I love milk and drink alot of it. 3/4 to a gallon per day.

Nothing wrong with the reds! Lol👍

I'm thinking of either starting a dairy farm (when I'm older) , or starting a contracting business but it will be extremely difficult to buy equipment , sheds, cattle , land , feed etc, so I'll probably just ending up working on a farm , anyways your farm is awesome and I love these type of milking routine vids👍 keep it up

Wow !!!! good job.......

Hey Kip, greetings from the dry Southwest. Great work = great videos, thanks. Just a suggestion....but that silo in the open montage would look better with a maze & blue top instead of the green & white. Strong work. Go Blue.

Great video. I love cheese sandwiches.

Great video kip! We drink alot of milk her at my house!

Lawrence Hofer here from Dinsmore Hutterite Colony in Saskatchewan Canada Sir you got a different looking milking parlor compared to what I was milking with but were building a new dairy barn now with robot milkers

I got a question about we can use a laundry sanitizes liquids it clear and 0% bleach and we can wash it with voluntary milking systems ?

Thanks for the video. I’d like to know more about how you manage your bulls. How many you have and how you integrate them with an AI breeding program.

It is a very tight right angle for cows to be entering parlour.

I like how you feed them a few pellets. Had an old boy tell me they drop better when you feed them a little something ???

When we milked we had 2 groups of 4 and milked into glass weigh jars. We could dump milk that way. Think I still got 4 weigh jars in the bar.

Great vid Kip. You folks must have a pretty good water supply as your vid shows a dairy farm uses a lot of water per day. What kind of water supply do you have on the farm? Is the red cows Ayrshire? Thanks for taking us along and showing us a shift of milking. Cheers

Great video keep up the hard work! First time to the channel but won’t be the last, how do you get the water back out of the lines after rinsing them out?

Hi Kip, what's the second pipeline for that's next to your wash line?

Excellent video Kip, I had my milk with hot oatmeal 4 breakfast. I know how hard farmers/ranchers work 2 make a livin', most people would FAIL miserable if they tried. Will have some cheese 4 afternoon snack. Since I am an ole newspaper (on bicycle) delivery guy, how do U accumulate that large quantity of ole news print? The cow named "Pig Pen", what is the problem, I know U have free stalls @ the dry cow/heifer lot? 👍👏😊

Do you have to flush the milk machine after the just fresh cow, to clear any residual colostrum , before going on to the next cow?

Can you divide the cows so the ones milked and the ones waiting to be milked have access to feed as 6 hrs + a day is a lot of time in the holding yard .

Remember when I was a kid (now 24) my dad and uncle milked 100 cows in a 8x8, now it is only my dad and he has got 3 lely robots milking 230 cows

🇫🇷just discovered your channel last week great videos .. one question why keeping a dairy bull in the heard .. you don’t ai ? Only for empty cows ? Milking parlour.. next steep to be a lely robot for more efficiency or not at all adapted ? Keep safe and I enjoy your videos

If you guys keep expanding will you put in a bigger parlor? Love the videos keep them coming.

Cool vifro, may i ask why the papers on the floor?

Is the bull in with the Miller’s as a clean up breeder, or do you always have a bull in with them?

What brand are your milking units ? Your family does a great job !

My cousin had a three stall parlor like yours back in the 70s in Kentucky. I loved going there and seeing the cows get milked. Your channel has become one of my favorites. Check out "Big Tractor Power" he's got a lot of good silage vids. Looking forward to your next video.

Hey bud when did you change the milk tank

Great video, how do you see the future for your dairy farm? Will you have to milk more cows and upgrade your parlour? Are you able to make a profit at the current milk prices?

What’s the reason for the newspaper ? Looked a hassle when scraping up .

Are the pellets and soybeans you feed in the parlor the only feed supplements you use ?

How long does it usually take to milk each time

I've never seen a set up like yours before. How many do you milk on average? How long does it take?

How long would it take to milk 100 cows through that type of parlour

"Kip... "Awesomne Daiy -Cash Crop Operation " Ps.. Do you know ? USDA "Says it takes " 500 Dairy Cows !n too Support One family one a Dairy farm " and here on your channel " you are supporting 4 Family"s "thats Awesome in fact "Phenmonial" thanks ! marv"
