It is nice to hear it is ok not to have everything perfectly organic on your homestead. We to try to keep as clean as we can, but sometimes you just cant. Loved the video. GOD bless

We had a Jersey milk cow when I was a teenager that I milked every day. Dad and I milked in the evening and mom in the morning. Oh yes. Her name was Daisy. LOL Happy birthday Wyatt!

Great video. Good info. We have right at 12 acres too and are about to venture into cows. AND I CAN NOT WAIT!!! :)

I've been farming in Hawaii for 11 years and we're getting ready to get our first cow (with a calf on her). I'm so excited! We have 9 acres, so hopefully with additional feed that'll be good for her. We have a couple large donkeys so hopefully she'll be as easy to handle as them.

@nealmcbaggins127 Месяц назад

9 acres in Hawaii, wow! How is it going with the cows?

@debbielofton8358 11 месяцев назад

Watch that Jersey bull....we had a dairy with Jerseys...don't trust them they will turn on you ....we had one that went mad, tore up the piping at the water pump, tank and all...we had to go in the pasture with him with a reinforcement rod....ground him up in all hamburger, we figured something that mean would be tough....just be careful

@amymartin7508 11 месяцев назад

Lol.. early comment. I was laughing at "bulls don't usually let you do this". Our current bull was a mommy passed, mind you it was grazing, but we did one week of bottle anyway and dude is so gentle and loves us. ❤

That has been my biggest hang up is not being able to leave. So I’ve been learning about the calf sharing. I’ve got a son in the military on opposite coast as me, another son attending college many many states away and a daughter with our granddaughter a few hundred miles away. Plus 3 stepchildren with multiple more grandkids everywhere else lol I want to be able to see them but I also want my own milk, butter, cheese, ice cream, sour cream, yogurt, etc lol and the beef in freezer. Thank you Zach

Ty for showing the cows again. You have had them 2 years. You picked up 2 on the 4th of July and the other 2 on the 5th. Remember I had a hangover lol good job Zac on how to raise cows. Love y’all.

I live on a acre on the edge of town. Only thing we can have is 6 hens here and my garden. I have fruit trees also. I want to convince our town to let me have 2 goats. Have a great evening.

@kevingilbert6242 11 месяцев назад

Don't have milk cows, but do have meat cows. Best move I made since I started homesteading. For milk I have dairy goats , harder to get cream and butter and that's the trade off. The hardest animal we've had was a buck goat, so now I borrow a buck for a couple of months to breed my does. Great video, thanks Zach.

@kashasulea9605 11 месяцев назад

###Zack, feed Flossy, Alffa & molasses...it helps replenish ,what is missing n you mite want to have her stand on lower ground for you bull he mite just be abit too short...or it bothers her that he has a harder time ... seen this as a problem b4... It won't hurt to try!!!

Great video brother. Hopefully, I'll get our cows this year. We had cows years ago before i was born.

@michaelneerup 2 месяца назад

Maybe you should have her checked to see if she has ovarian cysts. If she has cysts, you can have her treated with a progesterone IUD, which acts as a false pregnancy and breaks down the cyst. After 14 days to 3 weeks, the spiral can be removed and she will approximately 4 days later come into heat again with a reasonable chance that she can become pregnant again. I have tried it several times with Jersey Cows

@lorrainevalentine7348 2 месяца назад

Just seen this video came here to say the same thing, is she cystic?

@craftyfarmer04 11 месяцев назад

Lol i got my cows 2 years ago also for my birthday. I jave mini lowlines and a mini Charlay was added this year for mothers day

@miasgirls3778 11 месяцев назад

@roddiee 8 месяцев назад

she may be cystic which you could fix with AB. A scan or palpation may tell you

@kariannecrysler640 11 месяцев назад

A curiosity, I know horses can roam wooded spots, but do cows? Can you enclose wooded & pasture for cattle?

@jenniferwilliams545 11 месяцев назад

Yes, you can. That's how we have ours and so does our neighbor. Our cows like to eat the leaves off the trees.

@kariannecrysler640 11 месяцев назад

@@jenniferwilliams545 Thank you. I’m on the edge of woods and leaving it seems better than clearing. Not doing it anytime soon, but I like to think ahead.

@christencurtis9047 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing! Love seeing the cattle. Are you going to separate Shelby and Daisy from the bulls? Being part Jersey, Shelby could go into heat as early as 4 months.

@texasaustralianlabradoodle9994 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Great video and very informative! We’re researching as much as we can before getting our first milk cow. Could you do a video in the barn you keep your girls in? From layout to cleaning to flooring… I can’t find that information anywhere. Also, just out of curiosity, where are you guys located?

@mickimartin8841 11 месяцев назад

I ordered COMFREY seeds from you last year. Could you do a video on how to save the seed? Do you know your variety? I let mine flower, but am not seeing any seed now that the flower is spent. Only one seed maybe, and it is white.

@K-doisong 5 месяцев назад

@authentichomestead 11 месяцев назад

I would recommend doing AI before you get rid of your cow, to see if that will take. At least you can contol the situation and know her heat cycle, since cows are the easiest to monitor, at least in our case.

@Markry-if9ex 11 месяцев назад

do the cows eat that grass on the land you have or do you feed them a seperate type of grass?

@bubuy667 7 месяцев назад

Great video sir. A young farmer here from the Philippines. Was just curious about using mini-hereford as your bull for the dairy cows: got your point in producing a smaller cow, with less feed requirements, but won't the genetic downgrading be significant on the milk production side? or from your experience, hereford + jersey would still produce adequate milk for a homestead? got curious because i was planning to the same for our dairy cows (mate them with a smaller, meat-type and docile bull) thanks again a new subscriber here!

@ngonsor 6 месяцев назад

I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't add up to me.

@christopherlentakis7685 19 дней назад

I don't even know what cows Garelick farms get their milk from

@lukesmith3283 Месяц назад

I’ve been thinking about buying a steer to harvest on my property I have two acres. Dumb question, can farmers harvest a dairy cow? Do they ever harvest meat from a dairy cow? Or is it strictly for milking? Obviously I’m a newbie at this haha

@StiversHomestead Месяц назад

Yes, you absolutely can. The biggest difference is a dairy cow isn’t going to grow big and meaty like a big angus steer. So, you won’t get as much meat but you will still have more than enough. We mix our jerseys with an angus bull to get meat & dairy

@thedot3814 Месяц назад

Maybe get my meat fishing and hunting give them a fair chance to run and get away. But I'm too good and fishing and hunting. Guess I just have to make beer and babies with all my free time.

@thedot3814 Месяц назад

I like the lifestyle or the appeal of freedom, but there will be them times, where life is going to be tough. Hit me in the face like Mike Tyson. I know I don't want to kill a pet I loved and feed and raised. I got issues... Hunger will set in and I will work it out, but it will take time. Crap, I don't even want to deal with birthing babies in the middle of the night. I don't even have clean soaks. I'm going to start out with bee hives and warm farms and move up from there. Get some green houses and see out it goes. I'll trade honey and Royal Jelly for beef and fresh milk.
