    Taylor, I just love how you explain the behind the scenes working of a dairy farm. Not many people know, myself included, how much work goes into being a successful dairy farmer. You really do love your cows. It shows...

    Hello from NE Wisconsin, I have a lot of great memories from growing up on a small far. Working with the cows. Field work. Making hay. I want to thank you for helping to bring those memories back. Thanks again for another informative video. 👍

    my dad used to plant sweet yellow blossom clover the stuff would grow really tall like 4 to 5 foot on good conditions it was real stalky and with a 9 foot haybine we would cut like 3 foot hard to get dry BUT we would get TONS of bales and i was surprised we would dump in a bale of pure alfalfa and 1 of the clover pretty much EVERY cow would leave the alfalfa. problem with sweet yellow blossom is you get 1 cutting of real tall crop then its normal clover

      That’s amazing! I’ve never heard of yellow blossoms clover but I am intrigued! Thanks for the information!

    Sure do. I do enjoy your videos. It brings back memories of when I was on a farm long ago. Please let Brett know that I hope he feels better soon. It's never good to be sick.

    Hiya Tay,
    Another great informative video; thank you.
    I hope Brent is feeling better soon; being ill at work is no fun.
    How incredibly sad; that poor calf does not get coffee? That is cruel beyond measure. Talking of that, I'll make myself one. Seeing a calf drinking in all that goodness from mom is always good. Seeing the feeding bottle system was good, too; I wondered how you stopped all the liquid draining out; interesting; thank you.
    What went wrong with the hay? Incorrect moisture when put up? I know I wouldn't want to eat it, but then I wouldn't want the good stuff, either! Yep, you guessed, it's not coffee-flavoured, or even better, coffee ice cream flavour.
    If you were keeping a calf, how long would you go before introducing dry food? And what would you use?
    Stay safe, Steve...

    Hello Tay,hope you are well and hope that Brent soon gets better, best wishes to him. I really appreciate your teaching on your cow's welfare and how you practice it,especially on the "bumping".You make it so interesting. It's been a long time since I worked with cattle and you take me right back. Many thanks 😊

    Boy oh boy, I remember bumping. I had forgotten about that. Thanks for reminding me about that. My favorite time of farming was hay season. My job was raking and windrowing. We used a square bailer. They didn't have round bailers when I was farming. We plowed, planted , and cultivated. Never used weed killers. Just cultivated. Had chopped corn in the silo to feed during winter. Still loved it even though it was hard work. God bless you and your family and also Brent. Love the fact that you show affection to your cows.

    • @tayfarms
      @tayfarms  Před rokem

      I alway dreamed of farming that way with an upright silo and all! It sounds amazing to me!! Corn now from bunk silos is so wet and nasty😟 old ways are better in my opinion. Thanks so much for commenting I hope you have a great weekend!😊

    Another awesome vlog, I highly suggest that you go and take a class and learn how to preg check your own cow's, back in the day my old boss would check at 75 day's you are so capable of doing it and much more. I do enjoy your approach and a lifestyle of dedication that is getting lost, at least my part of the country

    Hey Taylor, I have not seen a Eastern AI book since I went to Cornell to Eastern Bereding School , That is when we had our Dairy Farm. That was a fun 6 days at Cornell. The things I seen and learned are still with me today, Even though I have not AI'd a Cow in 45 years. Great Memories. I spent a lot of time writing in many of those books, Straw No's and dates. OV time and so on. We had our own Nitrogen tank with plenty of straws of Bull Seaman and some were pretty dang expensive too. Enjoyed your video, Thanks for sharing.

    I have about 42 that I can bump a calf in and as the old timers say the calves are “right tight to the hide” lol I was born n raised on a dairy farm and now how Hereford n black angus beef and that method has always been the most accurate in most cases.😊

    You are a wealth of information, if I ever decide to become a cow man I'll be looking up your videos often. Thanks for taking time from your very busy day to inform your audience in what it's like to be a very good dairy farmer. You have probably some of the most contented cows in the business. I look forward to each new video.

    Hi Taylor I hope your day is going well. Thank you for another informative and interesting video. That heifer calf is a little cutie...we too have had the same issue with getting calves to take the bottle and we had a set of Jersey heifer twins that took 3 days before they took to sucking the bottle so that meant the first 4 feedings were done with a tube feeder just like yours but they are 2 months old already and going strong now...I always blame the stubbornness on them being Jersey which are more known for being just that and one learns from daily experiences of working with them lol Its amazing watching your videos all the similarities between Brents farm and ours here in NY as far as how things are done/used...we use sawdust for bedding and on the floors, we keep some of our calves in extra stalls in the milking barn as well just inside cattle panels instead, we do the bumping for the calves and our cows are preg checked by our vet the same way as well...I just dont have as in depth of record keeping as yours as I just usually write every one of the cows numbers/names down in a notebook and relate to the results of the vet from that for dry off. Its always a pleasure to watch your videos Taylor and keep farmin while keepin on with the keepin on. Have a great weekend and good luck during your calving season. I hope Brent gets to feeling better soon...alot of people are sick right now and I wish you the best of luck in not being one of them

    Brent gives you a “hard time” about recording, but he wants you to tells us he’s sick. 🤔 😉 Taylor, you would do well as a teacher, if you were not so in love with farming! One more thing…I noticed you left your phone’s flashlight on while it was in your pocket. As always, the cows were wonderful. Have a wonderful day, Taylor!

    I don't like having to tube feed calves either. I have trainers but don't turn them on. Once a cow gets zapped a couple of times, she'll back up just by touching the trainer even when it's off
