Today we are doing something we have never done before...taking our dairy calf away from her mom. Will it help us get more milk?

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I am in my 60s as a kid my job was hand milking two cows every morning. Yes we separated the Calves at night, But we also played relaxing music in the barn when we milked you’d be surprised a relaxed cow will give you more milk.

@ginamh8276 3 года назад

I understand all this, but one question. How did Babe or Rose react through the night? I lived on a dairy farm and the cows and calves would cry all night when first separated. And this would go on for several days. I wish you would have recorded them on and off overnight.

@gilliegilbert3353 3 года назад

@@ginamh8276 from the video they were only separated by a gate so they could see each other and even touch. It seemed they were perfect. I grew up on a dairy farm as well I know we took the calf away right away. So I know the bellowing all-night thing.. But they didn't seem to be the case where they could still be in close contact.

@margaretbedwell58 3 года назад

A great overlook at a day in the life on a farm. There is definitely a lot of work and you can see by the look your faces, how happy you are to being doing that. Thanks for sharing this day. I love the look of those harlequin ducks. They are beautiful. Have a Blessed day.

@rachellaurendeau5202 3 года назад

Milking Trick: I learned this from another homestead: they were experiencing the same thing and found that their cow would hold on to the milk for the calf by only dropping some of her milk. When they let the calf milk for a few minutes the cow dropped down the rest of the milk. They pulled the calf away and starting milking again and got gallon of milk then they let the calf have her go.

@grandpascubadives 3 года назад

When watering. Never dunk your water tanks into the supply. It infects the entire water supply with anything that might be on the surface. Minor issue but it is a "best Practice" around the farm.

I have watched you milking and it seems to go well. When you first started with her I wanted to share what I always tried to do when I milked years ago.

Two reasons, one to let her know what is happening and two so I can sense her state of mind, especially when training a young cow. Love the channel.

We used to bottle feed the calves since we were right there milking anyway. That way the calves were used to us touching them, leading them, and they were weaned from momma right off. We left the calf on momma once and it was very hard to wean her. After separation at 12 was old, for three months, she immediately went back to nursing mom when reintroduced. Im sure we did something wrong through the process though. LOL. I’m enjoying sharing your journey with you!
