Managing Milking and a Nurse Cow

[@tammyyoung5279]

Omigod Kate! You guys should be so proud of your boys! They are amazing young men! And Freya is an absolute treasure. Your children are a credit to your parenting.❤️

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you so much for your kind words!!

[@justme-uw6bz]

I love these milking routines, the boys do an excellent job, plus the little goat milking lady does excellent all on her own, how grown up is she, so lovely to watch.

[@VenisonforDinner]

That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@hannahwilder1791]

Youve raised some hard working, capable kids! Good job Kate & Marius 👏

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you!! 😊

[@sammizimmerman4143]

Wow Mac has the whole milking process down to a science!! I love ALL your dairy day videos but this one was extra impressive! :)

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you! He's a hard worker and he takes his jobs seriously.

[@choirmom78]

Your kids are so responsible and mature...I know you're proud of them. What a blessing.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Indeed we are! Thank you

[@VenisonforDinner]

Indeed we are!!

[@rebeccasundberg4092]

Holey Cow! Mac is a young man now. Forget how quickly kids grow at this age.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I know! He's such a great help on our homestead!

[@arlysdavis3694]

Nice job , Mac. Kate, prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you so much!

[@britneyskinner1053]

So impressed with the boys taking over the video!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes it was very sweet that they filmed it.

[@CountieLt25]

I will never stop thinking how adorable Fresh looks milking that goat!

Very much enjoyed learning about milking. Your boys did a fantastic job film Mable’s first hand miking!!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@highroad3580]

Nice milking! You must be pretty close if you think baby would come when waiting to upload this video. Looking forward to seeing the new little one, and you look great! Grass season changes everything. We are SE US and are already mowing our goat pastures. They don’t keep up and are not keen on tall grasses.

[@VenisonforDinner]

I filmed this intending to not post it for a while then decided to edit it first 😂

[@Malori406]

I love your milk/bathroom! Seems pretty convenient and functional to me!

[@VenisonforDinner]

It's a great space for what we do!

[@ldg2655]

Good ideas on your milk equipment wash and storage station..

[@VenisonforDinner]

Lots of years of honing things!

[@andreabarber8106]

Love this video! You have done so many videos on cows and milking this was another way to do it. ❤

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes! Thank you!

I loved the boys video!

I love your mug!! I am new to your channel and have been loving your videos.

Wow great video Mac is a natural, you should be very proud 🇨🇦🌷

[@VenisonforDinner]

We are very much so!

[@TheBlomman50]

Your children are amazing and does a really good job with the animals, you and your husband should be very proud. 🙂

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Love you all. Keeping it real. 😊

Awwww thanks!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I really enjoyed this. Ty.

[@VenisonforDinner]

You are most welcome

[@irisf.9355]

Wow! Mac's voice has gotten much deeper!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I know! It's so cute to listen to the old videos compared to now!

[@hrfisher3729]

Mac is looking so much like Marius!

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madalynjackmond1805]

These videos are soooo helpful to me as a newbie to dairy. Thank you!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Oh I love to hear that!

[@sharonp6762]

Thank you for this video. I never knew there were four chambers to a cows udder.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Pretty crazy hey? They all produce different amounts too!

[@HylianWindRider]

It does make sense since cows have a four chambered stomach.

[@jacyruwe4411]

Could you pretty please have Mack make a video on training to stand in an optimal position? My first-timer is 2 weeks fresh and this is what we're struggling with! She's not a kicker, just a shifter and stands wonky 🥴

[@VenisonforDinner]

I will ask him for sure!

[@pcordell2871]

We just started milking down here in MO. My 17 year olds are training a first time heifer. It’s been a while since we had milk cows and we are struggling with flies. What do you use?

[@VenisonforDinner]

We don't have much for flies here at all!

[@terrywilliams8585]

Mac is so grown up.

[@amandayeates185]

Is the little bull, the one that was hay feeding, the one you use to breed you grown (big) cows?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes he is a full grown purebred dexter and he bred all three full size cows first try

[@TheBlomman50]

Jessa is a beautiful cow.

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Kate do you freeze dry milk for when the cows aren't in milk?

[@VenisonforDinner]

Yes we have. I did a video about it. It's super easy and the freeze dried milk is great

[@greenmama54]

Really nice video Kate. Hope your not too uncomfortable. Soon!

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you! And yes, we are in the homestretch! Yay!

[@mirandasmith9763]

What do u do when your not milking daily. Do freeze milk when your cows are dried up?

[@VenisonforDinner]

I freeze cream and yogurt but not milk i think frozen milk is meh

[@katiengland1529]

Laughing like crazy when you said you may or may not have calved by the time we see the video. Best of luck to you for your “calving”.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thank you!

[@fincarosa6767]

For the ones complaining about the bathroom milk. Good thing ypu didn't offer them any milk!!! Someone always complaining about something!!! They'd really freak out if they saw most dairy operations!!!

[@VenisonforDinner]

I agree!! And as I said in the video, it's NOT A FUNCTIONAL TOILET!

[@TheBabcocks]

Smart lady...planning out videos in advance then you dont have to worry about it when baby comes! (And dont have to announce it right away if you dont want to!)

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks!!

[@metamud8686]

0:07 LOL at this point I really thought you had that cow in the basement .. as the milking containers go down the stairs. 😀 Also I never knew that in Canadian English you call 'giving birth' by a human woman "calving" as well. Interesting.

[@VenisonforDinner]

Its a rural thing not canadian 🤣🤣

[@beckyrussell3181]

Well you look so flushed and you cheeks look healthy pregnancy looks good on you can’t wait to see lil one

[@VenisonforDinner]

Thanks, I'm feeling pretty good!

[@Mom2Melody]

❤❤❤

[@kar702]

Do you have your children in the hospital or do you do homebirth?

[@VenisonforDinner]

We've had a mixture of both!

[@VenisonforDinner]

We've had a mixture of both!

[@kittyrichards9915]

I think Mac could run the operation.

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

Wow you said you you were going to give a cap I hope you don't post that video please don't I really don't want to look at stuff like that adding up on a cow gives birth🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha no worries about that!!

@@VenisonforDinner Wow I'd expect that from my person from the United States to comment like that but I wouldn't expect a Canadian to comment like that so I just want to leave you with this note because you're so big and I'm so small as course goodbye
