Boosting Her Micro Dairy Farm Profits with a Nurse Cow Program (JW Farm)

After giving birth to her daughter, Amelia, started on a health journey that led her to raw milk. She soon realized that she could also help sickly and orphaned newborn calves with a cow giving good milk. This gave her a great idea, a nurse cow program built inside her micro dairy herd. She now can wean 3 or 4 calved and sell them for a profit while also selling milk herd shares to the people in her community. It is the ultimate back up plan while maximizing farming profit. She is growing her farm slow and steady to build a long term, successful, business. We definitely want to follow up in a few years to see her progress!

Breaking New Root's videos has opened up my world to farming enterprises. Amelia's operation is exactly what I have been looking for after retiring at 65. I still have my health and a need to fulfill a purpose in life. Thank you.💕

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Wow!!! Thank you so much!!! I’m so glad you found Amelia’s video and it has been helpful for you!! ❤️ and we have so many more farms yet to see!

[@vickeypierce293]

This lady rocks!! I bought milk from her and she shared her knowledge with me and I actually learned to churn and make my own butter and buttermilk!!! I'm now on her waiting list so I can get milk regularly..I am so thankful to have found her

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Wow!! That’s awesome!! She really is amazing!

[@alanemaltese]

Thank you Amelia for providing unadulterated food for us!

[@melanieheathbeasley133]

Great interview on a super interesting topic. Love Amelia and what she’s trying to build!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you!!! I love what she is doing too!!

[@coreyshine6720]

I am enjoying all of your interviews

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much!!! That means a lot!!! ❤️

[@quailjailss]

I love all these interviews you are doing. There are several properties where I’ve just wanted to stop and see the ins and outs and what their operation is like. We get that with your videos. I wish I had enough land to run 20 nurse cows!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

I have always done the same thing, haha. Maybe that's why I enjoy our farm tours so much. I really can just come in from the outside and really see what they are doing. It has been so fun!

[@darleneclark6098]

So proud to be a part of her awesome journey!!! You go girl!!!

[@darleneclark6098]

And Justin is so right, I bet she could take Ronda Rousey lol

[@BreakingNewRoots]

She really is so awesome!!!

[@ameliaharold70]

So happy to have met you guys and have you out!! Hopefully in a few years we can revisit! Excited to see where you guys go next

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Absolutely!! We would love to come back! It was so great to meet you!!!

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

What an amazing young woman, loved watching this video. You can see the passion she has for what she's doing

[@BreakingNewRoots]

She really is! Amelia was a referral from another NC farm! We are so glad they recommended and she agreed to have us out! She really made us think about how simple it really can be to operate the farming business of it!

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

@@BreakingNewRoots I think we can all learn some lessons, I'm sure when you settle down again, you will have picked up do many useful ideas to make life less stressful for you and your family, can't wait to see what you do in the future.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thanks! We appreciate that! We have visited over 100 farms and have tours scheduled for more! We are excited for the opportunity to farm again in the future! We have learned so much from every single farm we have visited. Olivia is getting an article published talking about that and I am currently working on a major video highlighting what lessons we have learned from each farm!

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

@@BreakingNewRoots fabulous, can wait to see it. I watch you from the UK. Love watching.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much!!

[@dhansonranch]

She did a great job!! And has things thought out and implemented well. Paul cut the horses I guess..lol. Good job Ma'am!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much!! I love her farm and what she is doing!! But yes… haha… I am comfortable around cattle, horses not so much and her horses are very friendly but wanted to stand right on top of me 😅 so the footage got a little crazy.

[@dhansonranch]

@@BreakingNewRoots lol. fair enough.

[@Marilou-g5t]

Quicker to use a CMT paddle and solution than monthly testing for knowing if you have a quarter with mastitis. Taking an aseptic milk sample, striking it on a biplate or triplate, reading what grows, determining the approppriate therapy-can ALL be done ON FARM!

[@ameliaharold70]

To test for mastitis, yes. But cows can have a plethora of pathogens in their milk not detected with a CMT test that are strictly shown with mastitis. We test for coliforms and scc that can have nothing to do with mastitis. We make sure our milk is safe as possible for consumers. I'll also add that an on farm lab is in my future, just not right now

[@barbaramccune9383]

This is my way of thinking

[@BreakingNewRoots]

❤️

[@quailjailss]

Oh lord, I love milk… I’ll have 3 glasses by itself.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Absolutely!! Our family goes through ALOT of milk haha

[@normamccomas9272]

Very impressive! Sure would love to be close to her!❤xo

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Yes!! Thankfully, we are seeing more dairies like this popping up!

[@heidiDonato]

Interesting video

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Thank you so much!!

[@barbaramccune9383]

Love fresh milk and I make butter my favorite

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Nothing better!!

[@Marilou-g5t]

More frequent paddock moves with longer recovery time would build soil, forages, and increase their animal units that their soil can support.

[@Marilou-g5t]

The animals eat the most palatable forage first and benefit from smaller paddocks with more frequent moves.

[@Marilou-g5t]

Greg Judy Regenerative Ranch youtube videos show how to set up water lines, exterior fence and interior fence for daily moves.

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Oh absolutely! And she knows these things but it takes time to get started. She says that she is working her way to be more regenerative but doing what she can now. ❤️

[@ka6148]

I can relate I don't like milk I love cream! Could drink it all day🤔 heck is do!!!

[@BreakingNewRoots]

We miss having raw milk all the time! Miss that cream!

[@reganmoran]

Love that shirt

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Which one? Haha mine is very comfy and great on a hot day!

[@luarcobal3127]

if you have a nurse cows, then they are a graduate from cows university😅😅😅

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Hahahaha! Good one!!

[@rileyfindley7207]

I live in ohio is there any website i can find 100% grass fed raw milk and 100 % grass fed beef

[@BreakingNewRoots]

Absolutely! Realmilk.com is great for milk, then for beef look for local farmers markets and go from there.
