My dad was an amazing dairy farmer, he's retired now 72 years old. I live on his old farm in my grandparents house which also was their farm before him. I'm not 3rd Gen dairy, but I have animals. Working on getting more and more animals and making a fruit orchard. It's special to still be here. I'm planning trees today. Grandparents worked very hard to clear the land here, and here I am planting tress. Grandad did too go a job clearing it lol. This place has been in our family since 1917. Hopefully one of my boy will keep it and be the 4th generation here.

I always like to see what dairy farming is like around the world, I'm from New Zealand, I drive a Milk Tanker here and we are very unique with our dairy farms, we don't have big barns for the cows, most farms the cows live 24/7 in the paddock/field. The closest thing to a barn we have is a feeding area a lot of farmers have started putting in which is a concrete area where the cows will have some supplement feed before and/or after milking, some will have a roof, but none of them have walls. Some UK and Ireland farmers I've have been using the NZ method of milking with a number of Herringbone and Rotary milking sheds being built over there. Keep up the hard work.

Wonder if your St Bernard was watching for mice in the corn crib. Love watching the cows on their way out to pasture. Happy Fourth of July!

I to have shoveled a lot of ear corn, it makes the best feed, it takes some power to grind also….the best things are almost forgotten…wish I had a glass of that milk

You do so much like what we do. (Except for the hills) Yup twins seems to run in families. That was our experience . Concrete is rough on animals for sure. I even loved "bump the calf" we say exactly the same.

"Bumped quite a bit of calf in there"! 👍 That's a dairyman who knows is profession. Fraternal twinning can be hereditary.

If he can bump it that early you got twins on board. Where do you ship your milk?

Question? Your milk market. Are you selling your milk into a specialized market or are you selling as generic milk production?

Always enjoy your videos. Like up here, mother nature doesn't always cooperate when it comes to farming. But your family works through it quite well. Good luck with the rest of your hay crop. Happy Independence Day and all the best from Canada.

i say twins. had that happen with a couple of my swiss. yeah get her off the cement. told that to a big neighbor farmer of mine who NEVER let his cows out of the free stall barn. NOW he has it set up he has 3 free stall barns and there is 42 acres behind there that cant be farmed and ALLLLLL the t-posts are still there so he sectioned it off and every free stall if the cows want to they can go on pasture. he is seeing better health and LESS bills from the hoof trimmer. cows were NOT made to stay on cement all day! he was the same guy who his cow age was like 7 years old and he was shipping them i said GIVE them a dry bale in the free stall. OH he was mad he went from 106 herd average down to 98 herd average BUT he NOW has cows 10 and 11 and 14 years old. so lose a little milk BUT keep a good cow around 3, 4, 5 years longer!
