Our Jersey Heifer gets way to pushy! And we put the billy goats to work.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi..... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@debrawild5326]

Cattle can be pushy and playful, but that is dangerous. They need ro know that the humans who feed them are to be respected. Just bop her on the nose when she gets rambunctious. It won't hurt her, but it will get her to back away when misbehaving. Watch how cows tell each other who is boss. They are not gentle. Love your videos.

[@lamarjohnson3992]

60 years experience with cows. Put the jersey with the steers. Pullet eggs are the best. Eat them!

[@jwszewczyk]

Your heifer needs a friend to play with. We had one that got very food aggressive until she went at it with the bull and got pushed back into place. If one comes at you defend yourself with a sharp hit to the nose or eyes and get away. In bad situations hit them with your hat and drop the hat. They'll fight your hat while you get away. Your eggs will get bigger with maturity. My neighbor had a chicken that laid pingpong ball eggs forever.

[@richardhoover9837]

I would like to suggest that instead of using the expensive mineral fly spray. I use either vegetable oil corn oil or something to that effect. Then go to the local feed store get some permethrin mix it into the corn oil try that on the cattle it will last three times longer and what you're using and it's a whole lot cheaper.

[@richardhoover9837]

I noticed that you had quite the mud hole in front of the water tank for steers. I live on Kansas where gravel is abundant. I normally put down 3 inch rock in a mud hole like that. Wait a week or so and then put gravel screenings over. It sets up like cement and you never have any more problems.

[@kristy4619]

Watch what Farmer Tyler Ranch did for his steers, cows etc. He got something so he doesn't have to constantly spray them

[@nightsailor1]

NEVER turm your back on cattle. They will bust you up. Its not her boundaries at issue. Its YOU.

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Put her in with the steers, all that hard feed you’re feeding them will be firing them up, you’ve got plenty of grass, stop the hard feed and put them on grass, you’ve got them all fired up

[@thurlowfamilyfarm4628]

It’s not the garlic; she’s a large animal, not a pet. If you haven’t already done so; the beef quality assurance trainings would be good for you, before you get yourself injured. The steers won’t hurt her. She’ll be fine

[@sheilasantiago3715]

I would put her in with the steers and watch to see what happens. You can always take her back out

[@markfin7225]

Exactly. She’ll be fine with them. She just needs other cattle around her.

[@randybutler4772]

Thank goodness she is dehorned. Maybe she will grow out of this wild mood. Be safe around her. Never turn your back on her. Thank you for sharing.🐂

[@llyodreeves4657]

Love watching you the on your video thank you

[@davidwhite4474]

The steers won't hurt her no more than each other . You can move the sheep and goats there too .

[@janicehurlburt2573]

Haven’t seen the dogs in a long while,don’t think I have missed any videos but must have missed something!

[@patblaney3895]

Nice one guys 🚜🐖🐂🐐🐓🐑🚜

[@157-40_T]

Recommend at minimal you love the garlic feeder out of the corner so you have room to escape if she gets playful.

[@deborahsimmons2414]

New cat Boots, has boots on his feet and stars on his nose!!!! So cute!!!!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

I sure hope that young heifer settles down before someone gets hurt. Everything looks so much better aroun there. Keep having fun and stay safe around there. Fred.

[@sroberts605]

Pullets eggs - especially delicious, just have two!

[@JWick-hz6yt]

I raise cattle and it will not hurt to put her in with the Steers.

[@mckleibrink]

When we were raising Jerseys, we bred them around 15 months, so they would calve as a 2 year old. Myah probably is already coming into heat once a month. When that happens they will be very aggressive and even try to ride you.

[@arthurdewith7608]

Get her bred

[@robingreene8167]

You guys are funny when you talk to animals like they know what your saying .I find it funny.

[@Tonetwisters]

I've read that diatamaceous earth will help with internal parasites, should that become a problem. And a light rubber band thump on that cow nose could help her back up! And what a difference in Rebekah's on-cam presentation compared to her first-video reluctance! She's a pro!

[@toh192]

It’s almost universal if you don’t have another of the species they will attempt to position test you.

[@BillsCountrysideAdventures]

Cows need lots of space and she's probably going but loopy, they are better in a group. Also get a scratch brush thing. Imagine having itch you can't scratch.

[@markfin7225]

Those are just pullet eggs. As the chicken grows, the eggs grow. They are great to eat!

[@scottruhoff2046]

Put the heifer with the steirs. That will help her out

[@dalehammond2264]

That’s a Jersey’s nature.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Guys

[@reesvalleyranch3933]

We breed around 12 to 13 months and make sure there bred by 14 months

[@gillesrivard5765]

so wonderful to see the goats eating leaves and have fun ...

[@jakeschisler7525]

One of my neighbors has Longhorns and I tell you what I would be skittish around them. We were up in Georgia at a families property and they had black Angus and I was walking up to an old school bus and as soon as the farmer got closer they all charged over to him for their feeding and I thought I was a goner.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

I had a silver sussex once and she always laid smaller eggs. But she was very sweet and was one of my favorites.

[@mihandsplitters705]

She’s not too young to be cycling already. Just a possibility. Enjoy your channel.

[@matthewmatiasek1777]

I agree, we have milking Devon and our heifer got way more playful in heat. Put a calendar reminder in for every 3 weeks from now and compare. Will be helpful come breeding time.

[@zedwpd]

Diatomaceous earth may work instead of the oil for the cows too.

[@DaDaDaDammm]

they will not hurt Maya, look at this energy. I am afraid more about the steers :D

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

This was a very enjoyable down-on-the-farm-life video. Thoroughly enjoyable. 👍👍👍

[@brendanhessing9015]

Hi it's Brendan I love your videos

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Put you back rubbers in, and they will administer it when they need it

[@gurubhat2403]

Make a proximity sensor triggered shower for Pigs. The water will automatically spray on them for say, 2-3 minutes, adjustable, if they come closer. They are too smart and will learn that water would spray to cool down when they come closer.

[@bay9876]

The pigs get corn, meal, eggs all the cooking scraps that'll fatten them up immensely. Great big hogs with a gourmet diet.

[@teenagefarmer]

Yep, I think you. Ate probably right, she just needs someone to play with. Great video, stay safe guys

[@charlescarney4732]

Ovoid rubbing the heads, on cattle goats,& sheep, that can itch on something other than you. She be fine with steers, just add her when you move them to different area, set boundaries, I’ve used a club to get their attention and redirect them. Stay safe🙏

[@rayeddy528]

Those eggs are the size of Bantam eggs!!! Usually half the size of hen eggs!! Thank you all for sharing!!! Cattle are not to be trusted!! They are not as domesticated as dogs and cats. They will kick and butt you to death. Dad owned beef and dairy cows for over 65 years so I know the pain they can bring on you , especially if they corner you!!! God bless you all !!!!! Eddy

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

DO you have more land that you want to clear from 5' on down? As long as the goats are on the farm - put them to work pruning and fertilizing! 😊

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@gcranch9913]

You’re learning that 1000# animals are not pets and they will hurt you if you treat them like they are

[@erichillis3528]

I have ranch in my name, I know all. These guys are doing just fine.

[@markpriddy1]

Thanks.

[@jamesdwyer5050]

She needs a salt block or regular lose salt not just garlic minerals

[@steverichardson2224]

You guys are on the right track, she is lonely, bored, and excited for attention. I watched the way she was butting at you, that's all play. Would have been a whole different temperament if she was upset. You would have known the difference for sure. She was craving that mineral also after being out. Well got to go feed my animals now, God Bless! Murfreesboro TN

[@jasontaylor9871]

you should get the heifer a giant rubber ball to chase around

[@stevejohnstonbaugh9171]

Did you say persimmon area (new spot for the goats)? Do you like persimmons? Those are native trees that are definitely worth saving. If it was my decision I'd pick out the best of the best and put 5' tall wire cages around the persimmon trees. Deer will go crazy for "ripened on the tree" persimmons. More than 45 butterfly and moth species, including the Luna moth, lay their eggs on persimmon trees. In addition to deer, species like opossum, quail, squirrel, wild turkey and others have been known to consume the fruit. 😊

[@leonardleveque3745]

Persimmons spread from the roots an become quite thick.

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Hello Rebecca and Evan

[@thomasdarling79]

Put her in with the others they will find there own pecking order. Cows are herd animals

[@stephaniewilson3955]

The difference between a big egg and a small egg is the amount of water in them.

[@garystlaske7703]

Great Video as Always...Becareful, dont turn your back on those animals and get hurt...Have a great Weekend, see ya on your next video.

[@stevenjoseph1459]

with all those apples next pork ....try making apple sausage...Saylor butcher shop.. Pennsylvania this i my home area try it. I am sure you will like it a whole bunch.... Wish I had a recipe for you...but I don't... that's why I included the address..

[@shaynedavisartanddesign]

Mia just needs an outlet to release all that energy - they have cow balls (like a heavy duty beach ball) or a scratching post (there are diy videos online). She just a kid and needs to play.

[@arthurdewith7608]

Cow can bruise ur tail bone and ur in pain for months

[@mcdjbrucejones]

For flies check out Gold Shaw Farm - a simple idea that seems to work very well. Good luck.

[@revhbateman]

Why do you not keep the milk cow and steers together

[@jimbucher1049]

You 2 always do a good job...we really enjoy all you're doing...great videos...stay cool in this hot weather....we're in Iowa and it's HOT !!

[@csnanny1882]

That is scary ,please be careful around her. ❤

[@ladythunderbird1483]

OMG fresh milk will be awesome but I think “Bessy”needs a cow bell so she can’t sneak up on ya. Cows are funny like that, notoriously. Be careful dear trusting one’s, (she looks so sweet)

[@Dan-qy1rg]

We had some cows and a bull that we raised from bottle calves for the kids when they were in 4h and they got really pushy too. I had the bull, named Prince, that would pick me up with his head, so I had to put some boundaries on him too. The one good thing that came out of him being so tame was, when he got a cut between his hoof, we kept him pinned in the hold and had to doctor it with iodine and bag balm to keep the flies off. Good luck with the search for a friend for Maya, hopefully your search will yield success. Thanks for sharing, I hope you both have a nice evening!

[@charleskloentrup9153]

the chickens are at the pullet stage rite now.

[@kymoonrunner71]

Why not move the dairy cow in with the steers then she would have 3 buddies

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi,from Vermont

[@stevebowman421]

When kept pigs, made 4 pens about 1/4 acre each, main item a mud wallow, had to cart clay in from a dam wall, just the amusement value watching them well worth it. Just a mention, was using molasses to mix in Kikuyu grass seed with, then putting this on hay when feeding, noticed an increase of biting flies/insects, stopped the molasses, decrease in biting. Copper and sheep, used to make a stock lick had 2kg of copper sulphate in 25kg of dolomite, plus other minerals, dolomite counters copper toxicity. Don’t use it anymore, as animals no longer need it, can put minerals out and will be there for a year, occasionally drop a mineral block, without molasses or urea, as a test.

[@wandaarganbright4056]

The first eggs chickens start laying are called fairy eggs. They will be small and some may not have yolks. The eggs will get bigger as the chicken matures.

[@carolspronk8401]

Always a smile at your videos

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

Enjoyed the animals. So sorry mis lonesome❤❤❤

[@marlinyohn8982]

Did you ever think about putting Mia in with the steers? I put my horses in with my steers and they get along just fine.

[@tanneradams20]

I’ve always found that a good dairy steer makes for good company for other animals. I have a Holstein steer year round and although he may be super sized, he’s always the calmer than any cow or heifer. About a 3 or 4 year old stay steer will fit your bill.

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Wondering if you will have Mia tested for what milk she will produce? Casein A2 hopefully or Casein A1. A2 is better for human consumption they have discovered. Holsteins produce Casein A1. She sure is a beautiful Jersey. Thanks for sharing your chores with us. Best wishes, Deb

[@maxinerose6664]

I believe that the Jersey heifer might be coming into a heat cycle.

[@wmkess]

You can make your own rub using something concentrated, like permethrin sfr, and mixing it with a carrier oil. Probably best to use mineral oil. But I have used a mixture of diesel fuel and used hydraulic oil with good success. They even make a product called a cattle curtain that you can hang in an area where they pass through to get feed, water or mineral a few times daily to apply it via wicking strips that hang down.

[@lady59hawke]

The garlic powder feed for your cow Mia, is just like cat nip for cats

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great job you both are looking well love watching your videos just need more off yes I know you guys have a day job but it’s so nice to see every day many thanks for sharing your videos and all the best as always.

[@joerodrigues3816]

Can I ask how to reply to your message my friend pls is it Facebook or KZbin or Messenger???

[@joerodrigues3816]

What do I have to do my friend cos you have told me to get back to you?

[@brendanhessing9015]

Hi it's me Brendan

[@bradleyfore]

Put the Jersey cow in with the steers until you can find her a companion.

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@tinashields9599]

I've been around jerseys for decades, as some others have suggested she might be coming in heat- and she should have some bovine company. If that does not stop that aggression you might have to keep something on hand to swat her with that might sting a little but not hurt her- that is not really normal behavior. I hope a companion will calm her down.

[@billydeesullivan537]

My grandfather used to spray his cattle with dollar general brand " pine-sol". You would need to spray every day or at least we did, but it's much cheaper & smells good

[@shoutingATclouds-btw]

Small eggs are for= How to Water Glass Quail Eggs Start by mixing your filtered water and pickling lime, using a ratio of 1 quart of water to 1 ounce of lime. ... Start adding your clean eggs to the pickling lime solution. ... Place the lid on your jar (or bucket) and move to a cool, dark place. ... Where Should I store Water Glassed Eggs?

[@puirYorick]

She's probably having her heat cycle already.

[@lucasbailey619]

I use Gordon's from tractor supply fly spray for my cattle. Bottle of concentrate makes about 7 gallons for about $15. Works well you guys should check it out

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@tomvandenbergh4127]

The small eggs are called pullet eggs. They are perfectly fine to eat. They will get bigger.

[@richardgreen5602]

Most chicken eggs start out being smaller as the chickens mature!

[@fastrust1]

put her in with the steers

[@ThompsonsWorkshop]

Use those small eggs for pickeling. Boil, peel, drop in a gallon jar with vinegar and your choice of seasoning. Pickled banana peppers would be a good addition to the jar.

[@danrowlen7247]

Young cows are just like puppies, only a lot bigger. They show love by head butting and rubbing up against you. It can be a bit scary because they can hurt you because of there size and strength. Did you notice that your cow obeyed you when you told her to stop? She wants to comply but she wants your attention too. Just be careful and let her be a cow. She will never attack you, but watch out when she is behind you. She could knock you down. Another thing... after having lived on a dairy farm, I can tell you she will be much different with another cow to keep her company. Cows are herd animals and they have very nice family instincts.

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

Carry a cattle prod to shock her

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Looks like you're Jersey cow maya needs a new friend but on the other hand all your animals look good nice to see chuy thank you for sharing Evan good luck on finding maya a new friend

[@adamhoff5508]

On the chickens. I would measure the pelvis with your fingers. If they are 3 fingers wide the eggs will get bigger eventually. If not, then they will stay somewhat small even after they get out of the Pullet egg/small egg phase after laying a little while.

[@TomSarelas]

Re flies, check Farmer Tyler Ranch and Fussel Farms Cow Sprayer. I'm ready to try one on 8 horses we board in Maryland where flies seem crazy this year. Pls know I know nothing about cows. Love your vids, thank you. TFS

[@peggylynndesigns]

I would put her with the steers until you find another dairy cow. She could really hurt you guys.

[@warnerfamilyfarm]

Our jersey heifer was like this with us. After we bred her she calmed right down. May need to get her bred. Are your chickens pullets? They will have smaller eggs and they will get larger depending on the breed.

[@jasoncorreal8810]

Our chickens new eggs are always considerably smaller for a month or a lil more
