They did some REALLY WEIRD Stuff - Breeding our Milk Cow

We spent a day getting our homestead milk cow bred, and They did some REALLY WEIRD Stuff. We give you ALL the steamy details. Well, actually we did have to blur some stuff.... there is only so much educational content you can deal with at one time, right!? Is a milk cow right for your off grid homestead? How will you get her bred?

[@dixiewishbone5582]

I suggest you closely observe your cow in 20 - 21 days to see if she comes back in heat / season? If she is alone and not with other cows, look for signs of nervousness such as extra walking in paddock, frequent bawling, different behavior at milking time, and sometimes mucous discharge. Leaving a cow in heat with 3 bulls for an extended amount of time is not wise. They may break her down depending on her age. Being "served" once or twice is ENOUGH! For a natural yearly calving interval, a cow should be bred back 60 -90 days after calving. S. Carolina

Greetings from the land of Blaze King, thanks for the unsuitable video. Indeed we can't have anyone knowing where food actually comes from - reality bad and all that right? The herd looks good by the way. I spent 27 years on a local rancher's branding crew and would help move the herd up on the grazing leases sometimes which was my introduction to mountain horse riding. Good luck to you all this hunting season.

[@Gridlessness]

Thanks, we have a big hunt planned, can’t wait to share it with you.

[@davidclowes2280]

I'm a vet the black bull has an issue the red one is on the monney. My money is on a red calf!!

[@GranE56]

Gridlessness, keepin it real!! I just LOVE the enthusiasm! " there's a tiny baby growong in there! " and the proud maternal smile on Rose's face! Beautiful!!!

[@christineford6763]

Nothing like natural family planning and family life at the farm :)

[@onewhitestone]

Just so you know, when a cow jumps on another cow or bull, its called bulling. It lest you know she is in heat. Not sure why they do it. Another thing is, you can save some money by grinding and cooking the grain. That will make it easier for her to digest and you will not be wasting grain. Whole grain does not get digested.

[@krickette5569]

I laughed myself silly over the commentary when Penny was "visiting the neighbor guys" 🤣 I have two pregnant cows out in the field right now. They are both dealing with unplanned pregnancies because my neighbors bull popped over the fence for a visit.

[@BulletproofPastor]

We have a dairy goat farm and when a doe is in heat it drives ALL the bucks crazy. Nothing is sacred or “out of bounds.” Does not in heat, other bucks, fence posts, bushes…. well, maybe not fence posts & bushes but you definitely had better watch your back if you have to go into the buck pen. Carrying a hefty stick is a good idea. What goes on in the barnyard should stay in the barnyard.

[@jeaniLovesAnimals]

Now, that was a wild kingdom moment! 😅 Thanks for sharing..🐄 ❤️

[@robertdouglas4130]

I heard it too😮. It was my chore growing up to milk the milk cow. Life is a miracle you are so right!

[@edmartin875]

I had that chore too. After mom strained the milk and separated the cream, my next chore was to shake the jar with cream until it turned to butter.

[@rccollins8160]

You see, when a Mommy cow & a bunch of Daddy cows _really love each other..._

[@madmex2k]

I was kind of wondering as I was watching this if KZbin was gonna demonetize the video for its content. Its nature, kids and adults raised on farms see it all the time between loads of different animals. I remember as a child seeing animals breed which scarred me for a long time. I was not interested in human mating for a long time after watching the different farm animals get busy. It's a good thing, but I still ended up having my 1st son at 19. Thanks for the video, I laughed so much!

[@carlmanis879]

The best way for a kid to learn the birds and bees. Then they learn they was made the same way and it no big deal.

[@canadianhonker2537]

Hopefully the calves aren't too big resulting in difficulty with being born. We switched to a Saler bull because the hereford bulls were producing big calves. Easy calving after the switch, never had to pull a calf after.

That was quite the party... the bulls are all sitting around telling stories about it, highly embellished stories, but that's what bulls do when they're having a few beers.

[@500spyder]

The time when she was holding her tail funny, and arching her back, that was the money shot.

[@greenman4508]

Interesting, I always thought they generally had to dry up before getting pregnant again. I think the best thing about cows is the immune system boost from lacto basilis acidophilus (sp?). A milk Maid never gets the pocks. Our first line of defense against bacterial infections.

[@NarnianRailway]

When I purchase milk at the store, I am now reminded of the hard work that went into producing that milk. They have some amazing dance moves. Jeff's birthday present looked so yummy.

[@wrinkyscarnagecrew]

This brings a whole new phase to bull riding people last maybe 30 seconds bulls don't even last five my goodness

Excellent adult show. This reminds me of growing up in Texas! No Victorian bashful avoidance. Kudos!

[@catgynt9148]

Well that was more than I wanted to know about breeding cattle. I never knew that cows will mount bulls and other cows. What an education for your daughters. Wishing Penny a successful year. Greetings from the southern shore of the Great Swamp Erie. Peace

[@randalreigel4089]

That was very interesting.

[@amaryllis8974]

Yes, I can see why you need community for homesteading!! Definitely can't keep a bull year round for one cow. Those were big bulls, so be prepared for a good sized calf and possibly needing to help her deliver, unless the bulls were calving ease ( small birth weight calf ). Also, when she holds her tail out it means the bull connected and has made his.....deposit. Usually after that theres no need for further action, she should be bred! Really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing! 👍

[@KevinGray13]

[@edmartin875]

We may be looking at twins or even trips in 9 months. LOL. My experience along these line leans more toward hogs. We had one boar and he never let us down. My dad had one bull for his herd of beef cattle. No problem there either.

Don't know much about cattle, but I've seen doe whitetail deer hold their tail that way when they are "ready to stand".

We tried to breed our milk cow to a 2000 lb angus last year, our milk cow ended up breaker her hip in the process. so she ended up in freezer camp instead of having a baby and being milked.

[@Gridlessness]

Oh no, that’s terrible. And yet, that’s the kind of thing that happens on a farm. Most people don’t know or understand the challenges with farming/homesteading.

[@jeanettestillman8916]

[@lorrainecostanzo9092]

How I used to know my cow was in heat or season, which happens every 21 days until they get pregnant. The cow mounts other cows and has a bit of mucus coming from her vulva, she also has an odour that turns all the cows and bulls on, I let the bull have a few goes then when the tail on the cow went up just the last bit on her body I knew she would be pregnant and take her back out, it was always 100 per cent right and we always got babies, I also always used to rest the cow ( no milking or calves on her) for the last 3 months of her 9 month pregnancy before she calved again and gave her a mineral block with calcium to lick on.

[@alanesterline2310]

We had a big black Angus bull and about 20 cows on my parents ranch. My Dad decided to call him "OJ" and "OJ" would fight with the neighbors bulls thru the fence, knock the fence down, chase the other bull off and service all their cows before he would come home. He did this so much that he wore all the hair off the knot on his forehead. All we really had to do to get him back was put a hand full of range cubes in a bucket and shake it. When the cubes were gone he would rub his head on you like a cat wanting attention. Had to watch it though, not too many cats are that big. He really was just a big baby. As far as YT, they probably think milk is made at the store along with all the other food. Not sure how people like that, ignorant, survive in the world.

I don’t think your neighbour aka bull owner 16:09 shares your sense of humour Jeff. Getting a laugh out of that fella is a challenge.

[@sporranheid]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I want to add commentary but I dare not!🤣 Amazing looking cheese!!! P.S. Just a wee bit sad to see yer coo is grain fed. Does that mean Ethan's whole herd is grain fed? Making changes is not easy. I understand. But I'll try to plant a wee seed here. I'm not an expert, but the bovine microbiome is not designed for grain. Grass fed beef. (Just planting a seed.🌱) Grass fed beef. More nutrient dense beef, milk and cheeeeeeese. ✌❤ P.P.S.Safety alert: If your cow eats grain do not suddenly stop feeding it grain. It can be weaned to eat less but it will always need grain. If ye want grass fed, ye have to start with grass fed. ✌❤

[@Gridlessness]

“Grain fed” generally refers to beef in a feed lot where they are fed grains, corn, silage etc…. but have nothing to graze on. These beef cows are 100% pasture raised and grass fed, but our milk cow gets a couple scoops of grain just while she’s milking.

[@sporranheid]
