Milking Cows In The Fall On A Small Wisconsin Dairy Farm!

[@DonWelter]

Dairymen definitely live by a daily routine. My Brother-In-Law used to milk around 90 head in a parlor. Just like you folks, there were morning and evening activities that accompanied milking along with a late-evening check on the herd and bulk tank to be certain all was in order. They continually upgraded to larger tractors and implements to make the most of the daily window for field work.

My son loves watching your videos! As a kid who grew up on a small dairy farm but lives in the city now, it’s very special to me that he gets to see how I was blessed to grow up.

[@matthewaugustine1166]

Your dad is great you can tell he knows what he’s doing

[@kevinriese6384]

Your time machine has transported me back to southern Minnesota. To the farm I grew up on. As I watch now from southern California at 64. I realize much I miss the farm. Not only being there but the smells. The routine and the pleasure of the animals. No one other than a framer would understand the pleasure of milking a cow. God bless and Thank you.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Great looking herd, clean and healthy. Thank you for taking the time to video and sharing your daily routine with us. Many regards from NE Rural Ohio, our first snow flurries and 32°. Stay well be safe and keep posting.

[@keithpisel9491]

Love this! Makes me miss my childhood

[@markschwab7829]

Great video I like the stall barn like yours keep these videos coming!

[@suecrothers9041]

Enjoy you bringing me along! Great video! 👍

[@jeremiahschumacher]

I mix my feed for the cows in a TMR mixer and then use the elevator from the TMR mixer to dump into the wheelbarrow. Then you can park the mixer by the door, and I have controls on the outside of the tractor to control the elevator. That way, there's less in and out of the cab.

[@jerrybarlar9768]

Merry Christmas and Thank you for being Dairy Farmers.

[@toddfleck9091]

Another great video, miss farming. Thanks again!

[@jimwhite1061]

Milkin cows is only for tuff people. The work never ends and every day you could have to deal with something different. Hats off to ya. Its hard work for not too much pay, im sorry to say.

[@Andy-ix2ox]

Don’t just say it, sing it!

[@kurtneumann3164]

These boys are still built 💪 for the wheelbarrow. Down the road, I'm sure they'll invest in motorized cart. The girls 👧 are content 👌

[@brianbiosphere]

Very true, every day is the same thing for your lifetime.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I agree, Fall/Winter dairy chores a whole lot different than spring/summer chores.

[@deanhoman1958]

Nice video, you guys do a great job.

[@tammygurke7482]

One of my favorite videos Aaron… love the cows❤❤❤

[@davebarnes9099]

So nice to see videos of the small family dairy farms on U-tube

[@phillipclaxton8189]

I have never seen anyone pack corn silage on top of Hayliage before. What a great idea. Never even thought about it ..

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting

[@larryturner4417]

You have an amazingly clean barn...as it should be!

[@Navet63]

"Cleaning their plates", "Doing the dishes". Too funny!

[@brianbiosphere]

Thanks for this inspiring video. I love working with cows especially dairy cows. That's my passion and as an animal science and behavior student, I understand how important cow comfort is.

[@presidentialviewfarm]

We had a Uebler 810 feed cart on our farm with tie stalls. Ours was electric but they have gas engines too. It was narrow and worked excellent on narrow feed alleys.

[@harveypenner2386]

excellent video!

[@jpeel2066]

Always liked milking and looking after cattle. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@loneridgefarms-uo4ww]

Loved this video. Brought back so many good memories of growing up on a 40 cow dairy farm. We started out wheelbarrowing feed n eventually put a tmr mixer upstairs in the loft with a Weaverline Feedcart below. We really liked that feedcart

[@brianhrobsky9200]

I absolutely love the old school way of agriculture. I wish it would be more profitable for more to be around. Keep up the great job. Stay safe, have fun

[@clinthochrein888]

I think that milking system you guys have was my dads dream one time from the buckets a transfer station system.

[@jimwhite1061]

@clinthochrein888 my hats off to you milking with the bucket system. You carry every gallon that goes into the bulk tank. Hard work. Bless you.

[@TMarie-eb8rt]

You are so fun to watch! I enjoy your videos so much. Please keep them coming! Could you tell us how you keep everything so neat and organized. You certainly do a good job of it!

[@jaredsedoris6736]

Keep up the good work!

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video. Y'all do such a great job with your cows and farm. Hope y'all have a great Thanksgiving.

[@ivankillins8407]

lots of fun stuff

[@athoff727]

Such a physically demanding job, thank you for what you do. We had dairy growing up, but switched to beef, completely different lifestyle.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana

[@billwieland8497]

You all are handy.. could you make your own feed cart?

[@mikeburgan7675]

Thank Tou

[@ihman3992]

For the feeding I would look at a wic or a Val metal feed cart I think wic makes a pretty small one. We have two wic 52 feed carts and they never miss a beat.

[@janettavculek9308]

I love feeding the cows. You men work so hard to have the great farm that you do. Do you ever get a break or vacation?

[@andieaisel6893]

I don't know how but I would be honored to have one of your homemade cow bells!

[@lorengolliher2712]

I started watching your videos I have enjoyed them quite much. I always wondered Thai stalls work have you guys ever thought about electric wheelbarrows just curious keep doing what you're doing I want to keep watching I'm liking

[@jaylynn9525]

I was noticing the roan cows in your herd. Do you have some Milking Short Horn mix in your herd? We love your videos! You have such a beautiful farm and family!!

[@johnhyde111]

Love the content great channel

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Maybe check motorized wheelbarrow. The ones that I saw were electric. Don't know if that would work in the dead of Winter.

[@claycomb556]

I liked watching 👍

[@keithfasching3247]

For a feed cart I would look at an agrimetal 525 I think is the smallest. They look similar to an old wic feed cart I used to use that was good in tight corners

[@adamorsini4585]

Beautiful looking animals. How many cows are in your herd?

[@RyBergDairy]

What time do you guys milk? What time does chores start?

[@mikebelfield76]

Love your videos nice cows

[@geraldsundberg3610]

The cats are interested in what's going on!

[@GARYPETERSON-t9u]

Thought you might get a motorized silage cart by now. Can be tough pushing wheelbarrow in winter. Thanks for great videos

[@colmanlong1032]

Really enjoyable video, like your barns alot.how many cows do you milk.

[@tarahagemann1556]

Do you know what brand or brands of dairy your milk is used in? Thanks for the excellent videos!!!

[@avonderowland7513]

Pretty cows

[@randybennett5417]

Do each of your cows have a certain milk stall they claim as their own or don"t they care ?

[@teresadroessler9872]

We have a agri metal 525 works very well

[@richmondbeckard216]

Nice uddered group of 2 yrs in the barn.

[@AlexVenoWhite]

You should look into VertaBlend. They make feed cart sized tmr mixer with scales

[@br927]

I let my cows out everyday ,while I run the barn cleaner, when they started to stay in the barn!In the summer you would get those hot days and you were wanting to get to the hay fields and you look down over the pasture at the cows and they're all lying under the shade tree, so they aren't grazing, they're not making milk,so I put them back in the barn, give them hay, and turn on the fans, now they're happy and making milk!

[@countk1]

Looks like orchard machines would come in handy if you make it a two door entrance. Like an old Fiat or Renault or something. Fendt and Landini are more modern brands for that. MF has a few too. Or maybe a Gator? Another solution would be a belt I guess.

[@aldonboon1728]

Agri metal 525 feed cart works well depends on your width of area to go down

[@steveketchum9836]

Just a thought, that Dad may not go for, how about a TMR or like a schuler feed cart that dumps on a belt feeder on each side of the barn?

[@greghollingsworth1321]

Where do you bed your switch cows?

[@kensmithler5965]

Love the videos with the cows. You haven't shown it, but do the switch cows get fed silage and grain outside, or do you feed them when they come in for milking on the switch?

[@gwc3721]

How do you handle and store manure?

[@brianhayes7618]

Does your father pay you a salary for helping on the farm or are you a partner and take a percentage of the milk check? What do you do at your off farm job? Do you work at a agricultural related business?

[@kayfay502]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kurtisharrington6015]

My wife and have slowly started a raw milk dairy (very small at the moment) so it’s direct to consumer. I was wondering if you guys could recommend anything just starting out and/or do a video on some of the smaller things like equipment used to milk how and why you guys have set things up the way you have? We currently milk with surge milkers

[@kurtisharrington6015]

Belly milkers

[@fastsetinthewest]

Very informative session. NEW SUBSCRIBER. Do you sell A2 milk? It has been said A2 was designed to be easier to digest and healthier than other cow’s milk on the market. I'm a fine connoisseur of white, chocolate, and all milk products. Do you ever drink milk on the KZbin channel or at home?

[@DeanHill-v3w]

How do you get all those wheelbarrow loads in the barn when it’s muddy and pouring rain

[@tim7409]

How long does it take to milk with the eight units ?

[@ethanlee9441]

Have you checked with Patz?

[@timhoneycutt2583]

How many are y’all milking?

[@goodtimestodd]

It would help if you fixed your old windmill.

[@andrebatista301]

What time you guys milk

[@WayneNaatz-t6g]

Where is your farm located

[@mrMacGoover]

I remember helping my friend and next door neighbor milk cows after school, one time found out how far a female cow can shoot piss when they cough while urinating .😅

[@Lackieestatesfarm]

How many are you milking there? Surprised you don’t have automatic take off on your milkers

[@johnhatt1219]

I want some brown roan Swiss milk

[@chadanderson1502]

Weaverline 521 or 420 feedcart.

[@rickykane1493]

How many do u milk

[@eblislyge]

Looks like a lot of hard backbreaking work to me.

[@grantmagnuson4883]

In the next couple years, I hope you figure out a different way to feed, those wheelbarrels are going to where are you out!!!

[@ErikSchelbert-ev5uz]

U seem to feed a more natural diet to animals with less byproducts like a larger dairy. How does your milk quality compare to larger operations.

[@CathyMackenzie-o2h]

hi

[@johnhatt1219]

Why sell good cows besides room

[@SaulVilla-o9v]

I shouldn't go.

[@MurekateteMignone]

I am very good in milking cows with My hand i can make 1000 in two hours

[@BrianMeurer-s8y]

I milk 150 cow's by myself and do all the feeding including younger animals including bottle calves , takes me 4 hours, these guys are spoiled

[@BrianMeurer-s8y]

2024 and feeding cows with a wheelbarrow 😂😂😂😂, are they living in the Philippines 😂😂😂

[@daspicsman]

And the chicken says, hey corn lemmie at it!

May I share two small family dairy farm channels that I have been enjoying for years? In Ireland: IFarmWeFarm. In New Zealand: TheOnceADayFarmer. Very different environments, different national laws, different financial needs and constraints -- same fundamentals: support their families by selling fresh milk. You might like these folks as much as I do! Evelyn in Minnesota
