Milking Our Family Cow with the Melasty Milk Machine!

[@debbie6585]

Thanks David!! Great job.....same goes for your awesome camerawoman!

[@zionsgateranch]

Thanks for your support, you rock! ;-)

[@rsh793]

Lol I wouldn't be without mine - different make - the cow certainly wouldn't, she's already in contempt as she's used to the robot 😂

[@zionsgateranch]

Yep, wouldn't be without ours either, that's for sure!!

[@mittysupply3017]

So happy that you liked it! Thanks for sharing the video!

[@zionsgateranch]

You're welcome!

[@Lisa-t4q7t]

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing the process. How long does it take you to actually milk the cow (just the actual milking time)? thanks!

[@zionsgateranch]

You’re welcome! It takes me 7-10 minutes roughly. Just depends on how big the calf is because we calf share. We share with him/her. At freshening definitely 10 min

[@practice965]

That's a very cool system you have there. Thumbs up.

[@zionsgateranch]

Thank you!

I’ve never used a milk machine I’ve always had to milk by hand

[@zionsgateranch]

We milked by hand at first, but we both got tired of it lol! We were milking goats at the same time too. Some people really enjoy hand milking. It's a good time to bond with the animal for sure.

Love the dogs, thanks for the review.

[@zionsgateranch]

Aww thanks!

I tried the coupon code, it didn't work on the machine I was looking to purchase. Is it only for this model? That one is out of stock, but also not what I need.

[@zionsgateranch]

I can reach out and ask tomorrow - I figured it would be on any model. I will get back with you. :-)

[@zionsgateranch]

Good morning! They said it should work on any model, so they are looking into it now. I will let you know as soon as it's resolved. Thanks!

[@lbartbison]

@@zionsgateranch it still says " Coupon ZionsGate Coupon does not exist! " Have they checked it on their end?

[@zionsgateranch]

I e-mailed them back yesterday to see if they had figured out the issue. Let me see if they can issue you a temporary code, I'll e-mail them back again now. Sorry about that!

[@zionsgateranch]

I'm sorry, I just heard back from Mitty and they advised that it's not a coupon code afterall, it's just a code that links your purchase to our account, and we get a small credit when someone purchases a milk machine. If you make a purchase and use the code it will help us out. Sorry about the confusion!

[@johnfarmer1691]

what breed of dog please

[@zionsgateranch]

Great Pyrenees female and the male is likely Pyrenees/Anatolian cross. He's an amazing guard dog.

[@muddytoesfarm]

I guess I'll be contrary. We had that machine and hated it. I have heard mixed reviews on them. We bought a used one for dairy shows because it's very portable, but it pales in comparison to DeLaval and EZee NuPulse bucket milkers. Glad it works for you. I HAVE heard great things about the Mitty Supply company though.

[@zionsgateranch]

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. What did you hate about it? Just curious. I always find it interesting how different each farm is and the way people do things. I guess that's what makes us all unique lol.
