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

[@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.

[@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.

[@jerrybarlar9768]

Merry Christmas and Thank you for being Dairy Farmers.

[@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.

[@markschwab7829]

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

[@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.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

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

[@keithpisel9491]

Love this! Makes me miss my childhood

[@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.

[@deanhoman1958]

Nice video, you guys do a great job.

[@suecrothers9041]

Enjoy you bringing me along! Great video! 👍

[@phillipclaxton8189]

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

[@toddfleck9091]

Another great video, miss farming. Thanks again!

[@davebarnes9099]

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

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting

[@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.

[@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

[@Navet63]

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

[@larryturner4417]

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

[@tammygurke7482]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@harveypenner2386]

excellent video!

[@jpeel2066]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@athoff727]

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

[@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.

[@ivankillins8407]

lots of fun stuff

[@mikeburgan7675]

Thank Tou

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana

[@billwieland8497]

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

[@johnhyde111]

Love the content great channel

[@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?

[@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

[@andieaisel6893]

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

[@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!!

[@mikebelfield76]

Love your videos nice cows

[@kevinschroeder3889]

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

[@RyBergDairy]

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

[@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

[@claycomb556]

I liked watching 👍

[@tarahagemann1556]

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

[@randybennett5417]

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

[@GARYPETERSON-t9u]

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

[@adamorsini4585]

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

[@geraldsundberg3610]

The cats are interested in what's going on!

[@AlexVenoWhite]

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

[@teresadroessler9872]

We have a agri metal 525 works very well

[@avonderowland7513]

Pretty cows

[@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.

[@colmanlong1032]

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

[@aldonboon1728]

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

[@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!

[@richmondbeckard216]

Nice uddered group of 2 yrs in the barn.

[@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?

[@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?

[@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?

[@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?

[@tim7409]

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

[@gwc3721]

How do you handle and store manure?

[@DeanHill-v3w]

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

[@kayfay502]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@goodtimestodd]

It would help if you fixed your old windmill.

[@ethanlee9441]

Have you checked with Patz?

[@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

[@timhoneycutt2583]

How many are y’all milking?

[@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 .😅

[@andrebatista301]

What time you guys milk

[@WayneNaatz-t6g]

Where is your farm located

[@chadanderson1502]

Weaverline 521 or 420 feedcart.

[@eblislyge]

Looks like a lot of hard backbreaking work to me.

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@rickykane1493]

How many do u milk

[@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
