New Best Cow Milking Video on Youtube! | Fresh Heifers!

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

I still think the "Cow" is the best animal that God ever invented, although it might be a close tie with a good dog!

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Agree with that!

[@kswaynes7569]

My Grandpa would have put his team of horses first. The team feed the cows that brought in the money. Friendly cows and a loyal dog are best animals!

[@naturegirlmia]

Like the fact you bring them in the parlor before they freshin!!! That takes a lot of stress out of them after they calve. Its one thing to freshin them in and makes it even more stressful after they calve and they have to also go into a place they never have been before and handled!!! They know the sound, they know their herdmates are there, good way to do it. Nice Nice group of 2 year olds, nice bunch of cows period!!! Kevin

[@ronalddias8519]

Kip , your heifers are huge and are nice and calm. It’s nice to see the farmer who raised those heifers milking those heifers. No yelling, no whistling, just calm and kool. They know you and trust you. Great job. Thanks for the video.

[@leesteele9290]

Absolutely on the huge !!!!

[@ellengallerani9836]

Nice job with the new heifers! Your parlor may be old but like you said is still very functional an very importantly is paid for!

[@nicfrieler6684]

Great video, I had Uncle's and Aunts that farmed and I always enjoyed being there and helping. You bring back some great memories.

[@joyceholdeman5432]

Enjoyed seeing your parlor and I love the simplicity but efficient working of the cattle. Continue on and teach the next generation of dairy farmers. Thank you.

[@emerkamp1]

My dad had to sell our dairy herd about 10 yrs ago. We had a side by side 4 on each. Almost always had 1 new heifer we had to put a rope up to block her leg from kicking the milkers off. I've been kicked more times than I can count. Dairy farmers get all my respect. Your herd looks really good, esp for how many head your milking.

[@clintyboy4167]

Your heifers and cows are in great shape, love the way they look, healthy and beautifuly filled out love watching your videos

[@tcr505]

you are calm and easy with your girls. Very nice to see. How about a radio in your parlor. Cows love music and will look forward to coming in to hear the hits. haha . You treat them with respect and dignity.

[@barrychouinard4019]

Nice job getting the heifers to run the gauntlet a few times before they get introduced to the milker. I just chuckle when they swing their head down and look at ya with the come-on man, how about some more feed!

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Yes 👍👍

[@dwightharber4873]

Great video. I have been in a lot of dairy barns and have milked many many cows. I have never seen a dairy barn set up like yours is. Also I never saw anyone lay down newspapers. The dairies I worked in back in my younger days were double 4 or double 6 herringbone barns. Your heifers look really good. Good job sir

[@thomasbee5218]

Great stuff - very informative - you sure explain it all very well - amazing to see how the different cows react so differently👍👍👍👍

[@ZekenStreak]

Nice looking herd you have Kip!! Nice and calm too. They (cows) feed off the energy people radiate if that’s the way to say it. If you’re calm most likely the cow will be calm or remain calm. If you’re mad, upset or excited the cows will feel that and react accordingly. Generally that is. Great vid! Cheers

[@jeffphillips9278]

Great video. What age do you calve your heifers? They look awesome 👍

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Usually around 2 but maybe a little older, and thanks

[@jenniferlennartz5995]

We herded the cows but never chased them, we petted but didn't hit them, matter of fact we petted everything on the farm including the hogs, tame animals know pretty much your there not to hurt them, their maybe scared of something new but your there and it calms them. We always brought the heifers in before they calved and they got use to the barn and what was going on around them. The only thing left was the first milking and that was always exciting but they always calmed down with a few pets and talking to. They all got their own habits and quirks and we knew each one of them. It's what makes the herd.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

Perfectly said👍
