Haven’t seen Maui in your videos for a long time! Is he okay?!
Maui is fine...... just turning into an old lazy dog!
If you can seal her teats after milking with iodine its much better. Thers are bottles with iodine and you just dip the teats after milking, completely sealing them.
Thanks for the tip! Does this help prevent infection?
Yes it is a good practise and also prevent mastitis. I suggest you speak to a farm supplier. There ara many products to be used after milking.
Sounds good! Thank you - we appreciate all feedback!
In South Africa, I use full cream milk from the dairy down the road and make thick sour milk for them (we call it maas). They literally RUN when they see the container. It's full of very good probiotics.
Our pigs and Chickens love the sour milk! Funny to watch chickens run at you when you have treats!
Get you a Dexter bull, I'll bet that cow will breed.
Funny enough, our neighbor just got a Dexter Bull. We are going to Synch AI one more time and possibly clean up with the Dexter Bull
I know my chickens love it whenever I clean fish 😂 they are vicious
Mine love the shrimp tails too!
That milk will have everything they need it's the protein and amino acids that the milk has that will definitely make those chickens grow. And honestly I'm curious to know how they taste.
Agreed! Maybe we will do a side-by-side taste test from our earlier meat birds.
your video is very good. great youtube❤❤
Thank you! We appreciate you watching!
Try to watch who is eating eggs and get rid off. Its a habit that will not go away. If a chicken does it one time it will continue
Good to know! Thank you! Once we cull the old hens, we can watch the new girls and see if we still have a problem hen.
Our young livestock guardian dog has a way of keeping our barn cat population under control... Absolutely loves the little kittens but he loves them a little bit too hard.
Ha! Yeah - our CMD is pretty good with them. I think this kitten was neglected by the mama
Good amount of hay there. We stocked up on big bales before our winter here. A couple more weeks and we head into spring.
Nice! Yeah - it is a workout for sure! I wake up the next day with sore muscles I never knew I had.
Keep it up i know sometimes it can be discouraging to not get the likes and comments, encourage your viewers to hit the like button.
All good! Thanks for the feedback! I need to remember to do that!
Id love to see a video showing the recovery of the pasture behind those hogs. Perhaps after you get a couple fall showers ahow the last several paddocks
Sounds good! We will do that!
Why is it milk is fed to pigs?. Is the cow on medication?
We could probably feed it to the pigs, I just wanted to be sure. We gave her a shot of GNRH to help with ovulation. It is just a hormone and I have been told it is safe for consumption but I like to give it a few days just to be safe.
@Nocommenting I saw a summary of your question but when I went to respond it disappeared. Can you repost? I am more than happy to answer your questions.
Feed the milk to the pigs
We are crazy....... I don't like to feed the milk to anyone when we are injecting hormones into the cows. I am sure it is fine but I just don't like to do it. If the cow steps in the milk and we can't drink it I will feed to the pigs all day long!
@@AlemanFamilyHomestead I get that I would probably look at it from a perspective of how long until they butcher but I totally respect trying to keep the food clean.
Our vet doesn't go to the farm to do AI unless you have a lot of them. So we have to take them in. But with that being said we took three in one did not cycle so he did not inseminate her but the other two are bred. We've got three more with CIDR in right now, and they're actually supposed to go back to the vet today. Now he has a gomer bull which is supposed to make the accuracy of AI above 90%
We have been blessed to have people come out and AI, we do pay a visit fee but it is worth it! The bull would be nice to increase conception accuracy. We have talked about getting a Bull, I just don't want one around the kids.
@@AlemanFamilyHomestead I meant to call it a gomer bull basically it's infertile or diverted so when the cow will stand for the bill they know she is cycling.
@@OldPecanHomestead Got it! We have never done that before. We have had the most success syncing with CIDR, GNRH, and Progesterone. We have just been trying to avoid that and time the heat. But we have not been successful.
Straw hat? Vinted😮😅😊
✌️
I would say two major things to get done on the homestead as quick as possible is the fencing you want I need and the water access
Agreed! Water access points are huge. Since we rotationally graze, our perimeter fence is all we use for permanent fencing. This allows us to place our animals anywhere on our land by using portable electric fence.
@@AlemanFamilyHomestead we really need to train our goats to two wire electric we were using premier but had on get tangled and die so we are done with that stuff.
I am sorry to hear that. We have had a hen and a goose get tangled in the net but we have never lost a bigger animal in the net. We have never raised goats before so unfortunately I am little help with training goats to electric. If you can get them trained is it a game changer for rotational grazing though!
Great garden
Thank you! We just need to get these grasshoppers and mice under control!
Yeah i don't care who you are anything over 95 is terrible. We have been incredibly lucky the last several days in Oklahoma we haven't broken 90 somewhat rare this time of year.
It was HOT! Thankfully it has cooled down since then. Hopefully you can maintain those lower temps in Oklahoma!

What state do you live in I live in south Texas at McAllen TX
We are in Colorado
Very good
Were do you get your mineral from
Hi! We use ABC minerals (Advanced Biological Concepts)
Doesn’t the pasture grass also count towards the 10 lbs of missing grains?
Hi - Great question! It very well could, but I don't know how to quantify that. We look at the grass as an extra bonus!
You’ll be lucky if she holds to any service/breeding in that condition. A beautiful cow, but they need to be on a rising plane of nutrition and probably at least one condition score more than she is in this clip.
Thank you for the feedback. We have the cows on free choice minerals and were out of a few minerals at this time. A great reminder to keep up with the minerals!
Hi sir, thank you for upload AI videos. Please try not to edit and cut the video in between just upload the full video. In that way you will have more watch time and more ads revenue.

It seems like your stantion floor is a little slick with the rubber floor mat. If you could give her a more textured floor so she doesn't slip as much, she may stand better for you. I realize that armchair quarterbacking is much easier. However, one thing that we did was to find some confinement hog flooring, which is a heavy wire mesh and lay that over the top of your rubber mat. If you then bolt that wire mesh over the top of it, it will make it a little more difficult to spray off, but she will not slip when she stands on it. I hope that this helps.
Thanks for the recommendation! You are correct, she does slip a lot on the rubber mat. It is interesting, our last milk cow never slipped on it. Annabelle likes to kick and step. I like the idea of giving her more texture but I am not sure I want the cleaning process to take more water/time. We don't have a drainage system in the stantion area so more water will cause more of a flooding issue on the ground. I will take a look though! Where did you pick up the hog floor?
@@AlemanFamilyHomestead There is a hog barn that is near our place. If I remember correctly, the local welding shop had gotten some old hog flooring from somewhere and we bought it from them. I understand the not wanting to make more work cleaning. What if you built a metal floor/ grate, however you wish, but build it about 3 inches above your floor. If the manure and other stuff can fall through then you could just scrape it out underneath. Another option is that they make rubber floor mats that are made out of an interweave of old tires. There are a lot of different options available and you can just find or build what works. On another note, if you decide to ever rebuild your stantion, if you make your posts taller and tie them all across the top with boards, then the posts will not move or flex as much. I just noticed that it moves around a bit and we have found when we build corrals that if you bolt or nail planks across the top of your posts, it makes it more study. Good luck.
@@RockingNS19 Thanks for all of the info! The station was originally built as a portable stantion because we weren't sure where we were going to put it. It has tires on the front of it. We have talked about throwing some kickers on it to stabilize. Our last cow was not as crazy in it so it was never an issue. We appreciate all of the feedback!
Awesome!
It was pretty cool!

It melts fast in the Spring!
It also helps if thier in heat when you ai
We had to trigger Annabelle this go around in order to make sure she was in heat.

Why did the fat turn a yellow colour?
The yellow fat is a result of grass-fed beef.
