He’s like a fish - the right angle and he looks MASSIVE! 😆 He’s handsome, and has great condition!! 🙌

[@adventureswithrobinc3262]

I can not wait for my homestead. We have decided to sell our house of 26 years, and get some land in the agriculture area. Our goal is to unclutter and sell late spring or early summer. Seeing your channel and others inspire us to keep going to accomplish our dreams.

[@Homesteadyshow]

Awesome Robin! Keep us posted! Did you take my start homesteading video course? It’s free, just sign up to our email list here www.thisishomesteady.com it will help you buy the right land!

[@HiddenCoveFarmsKyFarmLife]

So happy for you. The very best of wishes.

@@Homesteadyshow I have watched the chicken video. My first batch of meat birds helped feed 5 families during the pandemic. Tail end of another batch coming soon. Doubled the amount to help more family and friends. I really want to expand on our self reliance. We even tripled the size of our garden spring of 2020. Even did some canning and fermenting. Fermenting was absoluting new for me. I did promise my husband, no new animals until infrastructure is in place. I learned that from you.

[@adventureswithrobinc3262]

@@HiddenCoveFarmsKyFarmLife thank you. I would love to move south, but both our parents are elderly so have to stay close.

[@cheristump9404]

Lol. Loved the pic for your opening

[@malloryturner596]

My husband and I love your channel. We have 6 kids and homeschool on 2 acres now. But we are hoping to move to a much larger homestead in the next few years. Mini jerseys are on our list so it’s great to learn more!

[@sunshinecindy570]

I’ve missed seeing the cows! Everyone is looking good! Kay, love you new haircut! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@devilssemblance5938]

I just got my little 5 acre homestead in Northern AZ, near the border of Nevada, and I'm so excited to get started! Currently I've only got horses and chickens and a dog, but in the near future ill be buying the five acre plot to my right and getting milk/wool sheep! :) very excited. You guys have been a great source of information and inspiration, and I'd love to get a jersey milk cow, I think I've already got a little calf picked out 👀 we'll see

[@HiddenCoveFarmsKyFarmLife]

We named our doeling Luna after your sweet cow.

[@ItzLori1]

What you guys need is a Belted Galloway!!! Bonus points...they also come in "mini" sized. They're a heritage breed that would fit right in with you guys...docile, hardy (even in our Canadian winters) the meat is lower in saturated fat, higher in Omega 6 and 3. I could go on all day about my love of Belties. LOL.

[@genevievegreene1595]

Oh wow last time I watched they were tiny and now they are going to be mothers

[@HiddenCoveFarmsKyFarmLife]

Long time follower of your channel. Love you guysp

[@benrogers5808]

Way to go Kay. Great info.

[@jbbrown7907]

I've never had or seen anyone have a problem drawing a blood sample. Thank you for showing this on KZbin.

[@hillockfarm8404]

I had an already bred ewe in with the ram last year, ewe aborted and was bred by the ram that ran with the flock to breed the others. Just as going into breeding cycle off rythm when a new male joins the herd/flock this happens fairly often. It is a protective behaviour of the females to do so. That means your cows may very well have been pregnant by the AI or the highland bull and aborted due to the new bull arriving rather than either of the first 2 not taking. I knew about the phenomenon already in horses, sheep now and cows also fit the list with herd/harem type social structure.

[@juancruzgimenez]

Greetings from Argentina, lucky with yours mini jerseys

[@lexjones176]

Just ordered my pregnancy test kit from Lancaster dhia! I’ve been looking for a company to do this for a while! Thank you so much for the information they were super nice and easy to work with

[@noahsark1962]

Oh I had no idea the scottish highlands were that much.I guess I know why I don't see them too often.

[@clairsadler5989]

We have bred Highlands for ten years. There is no such thing as a mini highland - recognized by a registered association. There are ranges of size naturally. Well bred, nicely conformed Highlands that are registered and purebred are worth the same as any other conscientiously bred and documented breed. The better the genetics and more care given to animal husbandry, the more an animal will cost. Consult the AHCA or in Canada the CHCS webpages for more information about this very special breed.

[@kuka20121]

What a beautiful bull!!!

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Nice 👍

[@ka6148]

Luna sure does remind me of her momma Ladybug 🥰

[@ladyloo5556]

Your heifer cows are so adorable!

[@claireisacamel]

Love a good football reference! Haha so many potential references when talking breeding, too! 🤣

[@theadeyemis]

I love your videos. Great videos. We have started raising some chickens and rabbits. And also we started our vlog too, and we would love to educate others from the knowledge acquired from you.

[@dakotahlavender]

I said this on another video, but when you call in your cows have you tried kulning? I have a video of me calling in a huge herd by kulning. Take a peek, if you enjoyed it, please like and subscribe.❤️

[@frenchysandi]

Your bull is so dark colored i had no idea that jerseys got that color!

[@ka6148]

Oh yes They come in all shades

[@allisonsfollys7713]

Your the pro good job.

[@jbbrown7907]

You guys have great color. I'd like to come visit hour place some day.

[@mayochickenman4890]

That Highland bull must have been very young cause he's tiny

[@wendyplear82]

Cute hairdo!!!❤️

[@karinlindquist2192]

I clapped when K got the blood sample. Well done, you go girl! And the bull looks good, great condition (had in mind the name Tabasco for him lol... don't ask why), and I like his conformation... nice topline, feet and legs look good, good gut. I missed what breed he is; is he a mini Jersey? Sorry that the Highland Fernando didn't work out for you, probably too young; did he get a BBSE (bull breeding soundness exam) done on him before he got to the farm? That's a good way for the vet to check for sperm count, motility, etc. But boy you really make me want to get some cows again someday... 😆

[@Homesteadyshow]

Finally getting this, right Karin 😂! Yeah he’s a stud! And yes he’s a mini jersey. We didn’t get aBBSE, it was a bit of a quick decision we were trying something new, maybe next year for a furry jersey 😂

[@karinlindquist2192]

@@Homesteadyshow No doubt, soon you'll be a couple of bovine experts yourselves! 😉 🤣Yep, there's always next year!

You will keep the 3 cows or you will sell 2 and keep 1?

Have you tried Dexters? They are a irish small breed for meat/milk. You could try a dexter/mini jersey cross.

Check for follicles.

[@thegameofjones8588]

Ferdinand was cute! His hair is so cute he is the best looking bull I’ve ever seen he doesn’t look random or maybe I haven’t really looked at many bulls. I’m newly moved onto our new homestead and I’m literally stuck in my thoughts 💭 should I get IPP piglets or a breeding pair but I remember a video from a long time ago Austin said don’t breed pigs!!! I want to move forward with meat birds in the spring and getting some Silkies too but the raccoons, the hawks the snakes.....yeah I’m stuck in my own head.

[@Homesteadyshow]

Start with feeders not breeders 😉

[@thegameofjones8588]

@@Homesteadyshow gotcha 👍 I take in a lot of your advice because you guys have been doing this for a decade. I’d rather procrastinate than be over my head and the animals suffer. We are supposed to go to Abilene this weekend to look at IPP piglets I won’t buy them at first sight I remember you guys made a video abt seeing the animals at different times (it was a goat video though) as a homeschool mommy I know my limits my husband is “all in” he wants horses, cows, goats, pigs........we won’t make that mistake I said. Thx guys God Bless

[@timslone9267]

Cow can be bred and still show false heat and have another bull ride them... seen with my own 2 eyes! You may have some fuzzy ones. Lol

[@jbbrown7907]

The Highlander validated my comment. He looked too young to be able to breed. This guy looks bready to go. Pity you can't breed within the breed.

[@alexregonly]

Man... with the interest the bull is still showing I gotta think she's not bred yet... But then, that last shot with everyone together, no interest at all... Of course, with Homesteady time travel who knows when each sequence was really shot.

[@candicechristensen1753]

What about a Dexter?

[@helensearle1896]

If I ever got a homestead and a cow (my dream!) I would probably go for a Dexter since I'm in the UK where we don't have mini Jerseys :( The only thing that gives me pause is that I don't know of any h/s bloggers/writers who have Dexters, and I am informed that they can be a bit... bolshy. Do you have any experience with the breed?
