The Secret I've Been Keeping From My Wife

[@sweetdelites4u]

I so get Gary’s bartering concept. Back in the day that sense of community working hand in hand was pretty common place. For instance I rapidly have found myself immobile due to severe arthritis. I’m starting the knee replacement process in October. In the meantime, my grass still needs mowing and weed whacking done. Neither of I can do until I am healed from surgery. However, I’m a very good seamstress and can mend just about any textile item. I also knit and crochet. I would be more than happy to hem, mend anything needed so long as I get my yard work done too! I’m in New York so just about everything is taxed, avoiding taxes is a bonus for sure!

There is a little stand near me that a young girl has, it is a free will donation for veggies. She has a little story about helping her Papa in the garden and that any monies collected for veggies goes in her bank account for her future.

Not only the milk, but the cream from fresh milk is amazing. If you let Mazy make some jar butter from fresh cream, or fresh whipped cream to top a hot slice of pie, she will become a fan.

[@evacarson5878]

My uncle used to have milk cows and sell it to the people that bottled it and sell it in the stores. So he had to meet certain standards. He had to wash the udders and milk then then take the milk to the parlor and put it into big milk cans and keep it all cold till he could get it out for the man to take it to town. My aunt would take a gallon or two and skim the cream off the top and make butter. It was the best. The biggest problem was making sure that everything was clean so that the milk didn’t get contaminated…. As it wasn’t pasteurized and could really make people sick if the chain of sanitation was broken at any point.

[@dianeoliver9356]

Cog Hill just had money stolen from their roadside stand. How sad a world we live in. 😢

Cassie is a character! Gary isn’t the only one who loves her for that. 🤭

[@eileenslusarczyk6256]

I am 81 yrs old and watch you all the time. I Love the Walker family! It takes me back to when I was a kid on the farm in North Dakota! You are so down to earth & love how you include your kids in things you do around the farm. Cassie you are a hoot on some of the things you say & make me laugh! God Bless your family! HUGS to you all!!❤

[@vanessakammerer5602]

I agree these people are just the sweetest. They take me back to my grandparents' farm boy. I miss those days ,but they honestly bring it all back, wonderful people they are, God bless you

[@tjneugent2567]

I grew up on ‘raw’ milk, churned butter, buttermilk. I’m 73 and certainly not skinny 😂 Y’all have a blessed day

[@edwinschlee8374]

I basically quit drinking milk when we moved off the farm. I liked it cold or straight from the cow warm. We had a mixed breed herd. Raised our own beef and hog for meat and of course chickens for eggs or to eat!

[@MaryThomas-ef1sd]

Great seeing you both early this morning. I just want to tell you both that I do admire the work & the energy you put in on your kids, which is how it should be. I think "Little Bear" was blessed getting your family as his foster family. It's sad how some children don't have the love you two have for yours. I hope you both have a great week!

[@donnadiscordia3657]

Hope they are able to adopt him.

[@justsayingno_pun4460]

Cassie is top shelf. She is the real deal as is all the family. I think the milk cow is a great deal. You can even make your own butter, mozzarella, etc, with it. Good for family. Good lessons for upcoming family.

[@vickiehamilton6596]

Prayers for all in need.

[@19jarhead66]

You might consider a Mini Jerseys: Produce 1-4 gallons of milk per day High butterfat content (4-6%) Gentle temperament Good for families needing smaller quantities of milk. A full size Jersey will produce an average of about 7 gallons a day. Since you don’t drink much milk, you might consider selling the raw milk. The only thing, which you probably already know, all transactions will have to take place on the farm, you can’t deliver it to the customer.

[@janvazquez9239]

When you said Ava I gasped because my niece she is seven and faught leukemia she is now one year clean hallelujah💜✝️💜🎉so you got this little one

[@BonnieRatcliff]

When I was in my 20s I lived on a farm that had milk cows. I think they were Holstein, but their milk was rich and so good once cold. I miss those days of milking cows and doing farm work. I love your idea of bartering to get things your family needs and providing for others. Please keep my DIL's father, Danny, in your prayers. He found out yesterday that he has lung cancer. Love watching your channel. God bless and love you guys! ❤❤

[@pamnewton2160]

You can freeze dry the milk like Cog Hill farm does. Can't remember if you have a freeze dryer. Might be a good idea to get one if you don't.

[@Orca2019]

Hello Walker Fam, You really make me wish I lived closer. I would love to attend the Expo this weekend. Being fron Canada does prove a problem. I like the idea of buying a cow, and sharing the milk, specially if a person was willing to milk the cow. Enjoy your weekend!🤗🤗💞💞💙💙

[@AZJH8374]

[@ellenisley2928]

Hey Cassie might have you guests at the fair check their towns regulations on keeping chickens. Even our small towns restrict number of chickens you can have, and of course no roosters.

[@catchingupwiththewalkers]

Yes, it will be different for each person

[@katherineknapp8838]

Have I told you what a pleasure it is to listen to you and Gary?? Both of you are such a delight. You are both my own kids age……and I’m as old as someone’s pet dinosaur. Thank you for sharing this video! I truly enjoyed it.(and I’m sorry I fell asleep earlier……it’s not you, it was me.)

[@LorraineDennison1960]

I loved growing veggies with hydroponics, I grew heaps years ago. I stopped because I felt a bit weird going and buying the nutrients from our local Hydroponics store. I think I was the only person buying them for legit veggies. Most were buying them to grow their illegal crops. lol 🤣🤣

[@theresawhightsel7163]

The butter will be worth it

[@fraslavko1]

Mooooo! good idea, make lots of thing in the kitchen with milk, besides the kids could be drinking it. Fresh milk makes great yogurt. You could be doing a rent-A=Cow plan.

[@juanitamcswain1255]

You can make butter and cheese. The kids will like to make butter and cheese. They will love to learn.prayers for Ava.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jangrahame4891]

What ever you get for a cow, get an A2 A2 genetic cow! The milk is so much more digestable. I like a Jersey for that. Brown Swiss if you want a lot of cream😁

[@RaeannAmbler-jy1ey]

I know when I give things away I feel better but you can always can extra produce. Love the end product and it keeps a long time. Raw milk is definitely acquired taste 😂. Love the videos especially gardening.

So you guys are buying the cow and getting half the milk for free! Family friends had a dairy farm. His father used to drink the raw milk right out of the cow. Not sure I could do that.

I buy eggs from my next door neighbor I get unwashed eggs so if I don't have room in my refrigerator for washed eggs she sells them for $3 a dozen they are medium size to large but her hens are young. She also has ducks and 2 turkeys for their holiday meals. They have 2 children that she home schools and are very good christians.

[@brendashumaker874]

Sounds fair trade to feed two families

[@paulasamuelson2412]

Not only will you get good milk BUT... You can skim the cream off the top and make butter!! It's really easy...

[@RitaNelson-c8p]

Raw milk produces cream...scoop the cream off and make your own butter!!!

[@RitaNelson-c8p]

Holstein cows give like a 2% milk

[@texanasimmons1761]

When I was a kid and we went to visit my grandfathers sisters, we usually had a meal with them. They had a neighbor who milked their own cows and got eggs from their own chickens. My aunts got milk and eggs from them. I remember drinking that raw milk and didnt like it but, it was from a bottle they had just gotten from the neighbor and the milk was warm.

[@lomagibson664]

[@gwenadams6758]

I believe it sounds great, we used to help with feed for the cow for our milk. Worked out great for us

[@3BHomestead]

Past coffee time... What?? Lol. We have had a milk cow for several years now & your proposition would be worth it in my opinion. I think it is great to have a milk cow, but it is a lot of work. Farm Fun! Something you might discuss is the calf. Also, I will add we have a jersey.

[@sharonmcginnis5440]

When visiting friends in North Carolina the milk from their cow the next morning was fantastic. Debbie and I both tried to be first up so we'd get that bit of cream floating on the top for our coffee.

[@stormraven4183]

Also, I suggest a Dexter Mini cow. They require less acreage, produce about 1.5 gallons a day, and they are tolerant of our heat but also have a nice winter coat. Bonus: they are excellent for meat as well, and can even be trained to draft.

[@jamesbaker9383]

Leukemia , just going through that with my granddaughter. Not a fun trip at all. 38 days in ICU, but GOD delivered ! Prayers for that little girl and anyone else that needs prayer.

[@ashleewolfenden1081]

I am all about the barter system.I always barter when the opportunity arises. often, with livestock with the eggs and things like that it works. Also there is almost nothing better than fresh milk. Goat is a healthier option but either is amazing!!❤

[@SueSeboldt]

Sounds like a hassle- and a lot of money. Think it through. How will 'you' get the milk? Certain time every day that you have to meet at the fence? That's a big commitment, but maybe no big deal to you. Hope it all works out for y'all. 💛🐄

[@katiebateman1208]

The milk cow is a great idea. But don’t keep her at your house or you will end up milking her every time. For sure in the winter. I tried that once. If you pay for the cow it would be up to them to milk and supply the food for her. Fair deal.💕

[@carolynjohnson6792]

I really miss helping Mama make our churned butter. We had a milk cow named Daisy. We raised our pigs & chickens. I wish I lived closer to go to the Expo. Blessings, Love & Hugs 🙏🙏🌹 Love 🌻 from Apex NC 💜

Dexter's are a dual purpose and are supposed to have high milk fat content, ideal for butter, milk and cream. Just think the kids could cure their own butter 😊

[@reneedickerson4489]

❤😊❤😊 Praying for those in need

[@raycampbell6512]

Just a thought, A long time ago when my mother bought a new product (marjarine, freshmilk,etc) she would slowly mix it with the current product (store milk with fresh milk, butter and marjarine) slowly increasing the mixture until we couldn't tell the difference.

[@galeprivett5180]

Sharing a cow like that would be awesome ❤️🙏🐄

[@ginagraham9450]

❤❤❤ I miss having chickens. 🐔 my chihuahua use to help round them up when going to chicken house in the evenings lol

[@Og-Judy]

InCity of Milwaukee they have Way specific rules before you can get a permit an "permission" from neighbors as not to object. Specs for size and position of coop. Allow for up to FOUR hens and ZERO roosters. I live in a rather larger apartment complex for seniors. Don't think management would be for any of it. 😛🤣

[@davinawonderling9361]

Og- Judy, couldn't you sneak'em in? 😂😂

[@susanpatterson7088]

Make sure it is a jersey and halter trained! Love jersey milk, butter, cream, cheese, ect! YUM I miss having a cow. Jerseys are the snallest full size breed of cow and usually more gentle than some of the others and don't give 11 gallons a day like some larger cows.
