New Milking Routine with Our MILK MACHINE- Start to Finish How to Milk and Clean

[@BlueCactusDairyGoats]

Awesome you got your milk machine! Interesting to hear the theory of not draining out after the milk machine. Never heard they would hold it back if you di the extra drain. Good video!

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Yeah that’s what they say about the machine is not to strip after I did measure the milk and it seems like they are putting out what we normally get by hand I think there may be one more squirt left after the machine but I haven’t been getting that last squirt out. 😁 I might have to on milk test day though you know because every squirt counts 😂

[@amechelb]

I absolutely LOVE your set up. Clean, organized, well planned out and the machine looks sooo easy. I’ve been saying I won’t get any milking animals for years until my husband is home all the time to milk them but with a set up like this maybe I could do it before then. Definitely something to keep in my mind.

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Thank you! Anyone can do it with this machine it makes it so easy 🤩 and it’s fun 😊

[@cherripaterson6066]

Milking has come a long way, I use to watch the milking machines on the cows at alphenrose dairy years, ago. your goats don't seem to mind this machine, technology is so much better now Jenn

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Wow, I had watched so many different ones cleaning milking equipment I forgot that I had watched you guys video also. You guys are a load of help to us. We bought a Topflow Z also and I know we'll love it! Thanks for your help guys!

[@virginiapartaker1940]

You two are so cute and careful about all you do ….. it’s enjoyable to see a job so well done ….. so clean BRAVO….. love the little guy …. Full of info for us ….. just like his mom and dad

[@rspryngfarmcountry4487]

How awesome! Always love your videos. We are just learning the milking process and dhir program this year so your channel has been invaluable.

[@deborahbeattie9103]

Thanks for showing us your all really good at explaining stuff!

[@rachel4483]

Soo...you've probably figured it out by now, but if you want it to alternate teat pulsation timing to copy hand milking you need two of the skinny vacuum hoses attached to the pulsator, and the other end to each inflation. Milking two goats is done when you split each of those vacuum hoses with a Y then one from each side to each inflation. Not sure it matters, but just a note. Other than that that's an amazing setup. Love the sink.

[@34purplepower]

Loving your videos!! Congratulations on the new pump. Great for you all and the goats don't seem to mind it at all.

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Thank you! Yes they didn’t seem to mind it I’m so glad 😀 because I loooove the machine 🙌🏻♥️

[@SymanSaysFarmsVlog]

Nice video... we are hand milking full 8 size goats. It's so time.... Thanks

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Hey thank you! It’s working great for us! You definitely need a machine it’s life changing 😂

[@OzarkMountainGoats]

Nice job guys. I love the setup. Great vid!

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Thanks so much!

[@newdayfarm9463]

Nice set up!!

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Thanks!

[@iamcaseycraig]

I could milk a goat and a cow with the same system, correct? I would just have to adjust the pulsator in-between milking each animal? I was trying to figure the cost saving between buying this and a surge bucket - the inflations/tubing for each animal is basically the cost of a used surge. I'm still intrigued!

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

I don’t know about milking cows only goats I’m guessing you would need different inflations and possibly a stronger pump?

[@abwaseeque]

First time seeing 2 videos in 1 day I am shocked 😮😮

[@debayansarkar792]

2 videos in a single day.. Nice.. 😎😎

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Yes 🙌🏻

Are you guys getting the new doe from desert_blossom_dairy ?

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

No, not from there.

That's amazing

I love it 🥰 🙂

[@pepperedwards1240]

I wish you had better pictures of how you did the pvc and well a video of how you made it and what everything is

Can you tell me what equipment you are using in this video, certainly the cups

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We bought the pulsator pressure valve and inflations from Hamby dairy supply the jars and lids are from simple Pulse. We also have a five CFM vacuum pump

[@ASLFrugalMom]

Where is the video explaining how you put this milk machine together? I swear there was one, haha! I am looking into the simple pulse but don't want the $1,000 price tag!

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

The mobile milk machine video shows more but we need to make a how to! 😃

Thanks for the video. Can you give me a link for the teat dip, or just the name and where you bought it? I've looked at all the farm stores in town and no one sells teat dip.

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We ordered a big jug from Hamby dairy supply but I think Amazon carries it also check our item shop link.

[@keithshears1995]

Where did you get the test cups

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Washington DHIA sends them to you for your first test. Most places provide them 😁

[@richardbell5415]

Having a hard time finding your system any ifo would b great thx

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We made our machine and ordered inflations from Hamby and jars and lids and hoses from Simple Pulse. We have another video the mobile milker that shows a bit more one how we made it.

[@JennBenn99]

Hello guys. I love your content. Can you tell me now that you’re two years into this milk machine do you still hang your tubes to air dry or do you hook them up to something to make them dry? When I hang man they never get completely dried out. I was wondering if you still practice is exact same routine

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Yes I still hang them to dry. I do use a rag and dry the rim if there is water pooled in it. If you suck air through it after cleaning that helps. 😁

[@JennBenn99]

@@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead OK thank you so much for responding.

[@hrisaacs07]

What size top flow inflations did you get? I know SP has 3 different sizes on their site. I’m thinking either the 6 or 8” ones will be good for our girls

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We got ours from Hamby dairy supply and they are Nigerian size. I’m not sure about the simple pulse brand. We have the GEA brand.

Can you please let me know where did you buy it? You guys have a nice setup

[@HerbalSurvivalist]

what is the name of the machine and where can i get one? will it work for sheep?

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We made the machine but there is another video on our channel that shows how to make it.

[@hbug13_62]

Isn't teat dip for AFTER milking?

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

There’s pre-dip and there is post dip depends what kind you buy. We are using an iodine pre dip. 🙂

[@hbug13_62]

Johnson Family Farmstead Ah okay. I thought I was a clean freak but I guess I still have room to grow. 😉 We’re thinking about building your Simple Pulse-like machine. October is a long way off. As frustrating as it was for you guys it’s comforting to know that I’m not the only one with tired hands or a PITA on the milk stand. 😄 You’re transparency is good for your audience.

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

We plan to show a detailed video on how we put the machine together so I hope that will help! 🙂 thank you so much!

Just a splash or so we don’t measure it.

No but you can purchase a in-line filter or in a all in one filtering lid.

[@Noah-uz2rf]

Does the milking machine hurt them ?

[@JohnsonFamilyFarmstead]

Not at all. You need to make sure you have good inflations with a machine that has a pulsator and a pressure regulator.

[@Noah-uz2rf]

These are the gea topflow z inflations. We purchased these from Hamby dairy supply. Our “machine” is made from pvc and has a vacume regulator and gauge, we also purchased the pulsator from hamby. Here is a link to a video where we made a mobile version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3qpg6hojc11a9U
