Well done 🎉

Your videos make my day😄✨

[@familydutton6568]

So, I know nothing about this, but I read somewhere, that people use the gallon size glass beverage serving jars (that have a spout at the bottom) to separate the cream from the skim. They just drain it from the bottom until it reaches the cream. This sounded much simpler to me... just a thought 🧐. I love your videos and your family is so precious 😍! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with all of us 🌏🌎🌍🙏💝🌟🐄🐖🐓🐔🐔🐣🐤🐥🐦🦃🦆🐛🐝🦋🦋🦋🥚🍶... thank you from North Carolina 😊👍!

[@pamelahofman1785]

I actually wondered if you made your own butter and ice cream! An episode about that would be fun.

[@stephaniebown6052]

definitely

[@sassafrass241]

Wonderful to see Becky starring more in this one! Love Poppy as a name!

[@avatozer-white7921]

@@goodluck7478 ummm it was an amazing name!

[@camdynkaikkonen7537]

Poppy is absolutely adorable ((both the calf & the name))

[@slomo1716]

What a GREAT TOOL to use on a cow that kicks! When I was young, we used metal kickers, which attached at the back of their legs which restrained them from kicking. I love you both but I am SO IMPRESSED WITH BECKY, what a worker bee she is!! Just like us girls on the farm. My parents had 13 children with only three boys, so us girls were well versed in FARMING. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH AND YOUR WONDERFUL CHILDREN!!!! My new most favourite homestead channel!

[@eileenjurek6898]

Poppy is a great name for a pretty calf! ❤ I love your solution for the kicking. Stay safe!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you, Eileen!

[@morethanfarmers]

Glad that worked out! I used hobbles with my first cow that kicked a lot, and that worked pretty good, but if I had another cow that kicked I would definitely want to try the Kant Kick bar. My Guernsey is just too sweet to need one 😉

[@kimberlyhoy6239]

I've been waiting for my weekly dose of "White House on the Hill" for what seems like forever Your videos are the highlight of my week! Love seeing yourself, Becky all the boys and baby Bella living the dream. Thank you for creating such interesting and relaxing content xx

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you, Kimberly!

[@cassie1594]

I would suggest having a pulley system that would hold the cow can't kick above the milking station so you don't have to work as hard getting it on and off. Less twisting and bending and it would be located near the area it should be every time.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Might try that, we’ll think about it

[@raulcabral8661]

I just love the life you are giving your children I grew up on a Portuguese style farm in New England in the late 50's I am almost 70 and still think of all I saw and did

[@irmahardnett]

GLAD you found a safe way to milk Dolly & hello Poppy she a beauty . It's great the kid's are learning how to help take care of the milk what a good learning experience to have all the knowledge to run a successful farm , I can't express enough how I love you farm land it's a BEAUTIFUL place to be . enjoyed the video y'all be safe , happy & most of all y'all are Blessed to have a wonderful life together on the farm 💜🍀❤🚜

[@Dhyr]

How do you make farm life look so easy

[@familydutton6568]

Good editing!🤭

[@Dhyr]

What.....

[@Homesteadyshow]

Hey, Guys! Glad you found a way to get your cow to stop kicking. Never fun milking a kicking cow. We’ve had great success with our Kick Stop device and it looks like the Kow Kant Kick is working as well. I like how the Kick stop is adjustable, but it stays locked in place, so you don’t have to adjust it every time for the same cow. We only use one, because we milk from one side most of the time. If we had a determined kicker, I would get another Kick stop and just hook it on the other side. The kick stop on one side works effectively, especially because I’ll have them rest their weight on the opposite side, so they can’t use either leg to kick. So it’s another affordable tool to have cow-side. And I prefer either one to using ropes 😅-K

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Glad to hear it, thanks for making your videos so we could make a well-educated decision on what to try!

[@Sewtired]

So thankful that you share your milk with the cow. Feel so sad when the calf is taken from the mom.

[@kellyfoster6983]

So glad you all found something that works for you and Dolly. That takes the stress away from you guys. Love your kids too. Such a big help and the "rooster attack" outfit was such a delight, and obviously worked. That will give him more confidence around those pesky roosters lol. As always, wonderful to see the update. Thank you all for sharing with us

[@i-am-erica]

No more kicking!! That’s a relief. And so much milk!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Yes, we love it!

[@smartbrcko9044]

That hurts

[@michelehumann811]

That new tool is way better than tying her feet so glad you found it. Poppy is a great name for the little one

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks! I agree

[@tiffanybyrnes8221]

We had dairy goats when I was a kid, pun intended. One thing I found was that when their tweets were dry and chapped they would kick more. We used mixtures of olive oil and bag balm to help moisturize, especially after the soapy water. But also being in the dry Colorado mountains made it difficult.

[@barbfrank917]

The little one ready to fight off the roosters....oh my heart ❤ 💙 🥰🥰🥰

[@whitehouseonthehill]

😂

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

I was going to suggest the Kow Kant Kick device. Seen it on Roots and Refuge vlog. Glad you found it, and it works for y'all. It makes milking so much safer. Poppy is a great name selection. Poppy is adorable, love her eyes, and lashes!

[@kimclayton7728]

Jersey calf as so cute! Congratulations!

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

So happy you guys found a solution that works to keep you guys safe!!

[@PawsInTheGarden]

The new aviary is looking fabulous

[@Not_a_Saint9891]

Can you plant peaches in you area? More flowers for the bees, some fruit for you guys in summer. Plus great view on spring

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Yes, we have 4 or 5 peach trees in our orchard.

[@dawnrasor7515]

Love the name Poppy! So glad you found something so you won't get cow kicked anymore!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Me too!

[@ahoyfamily]

Oh my goodness, Little Isaiah in his rooster armor! I love it!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

😂

[@jasonmcneely4843]

That Cow Can't Kick bar is exactly what we have and she hasn't kicked at all this year! Yay!!

[@bm766]

New to the channel, love how your family has grown over the years, still watching the videos to catch up! Have you ever thought of selling a variety of eggs, it would be great to have at least 4 of each to hatch. I love all the birds. Tried to find a few of the breads but no luck, maybe this spring.

[@pamelahofman1785]

Eli is getting so big!. Such a help around the farm. He's turning into a young man.

[@bakingfrog123]

First of all, I love the thumbnail (it’s so funny!). I’m happy that it worked and that dolly can’t kick you anymore (the tool is so clever). Naming her poppy was so cute! It suits her so well. I love watching your content, and I look forward to your next video. ❤❤❤

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you so much!

[@skutovr]

I saw Jess and Jeremiah Sowards use the Cow Can’t Kick and have had good luck with it also. I’m glad you tried that

[@diannaclarke2758]

Glad you've found a solution that works. It looks like the calf is only using one teet. If you felt like it you could consider getting a second calf for her.

[@Cola82]

Poor girl. When I had my kids, pumping was the absolute worst. I hated it so much. Eventually I discovered the Hakaa and that was so much more comfortable because the pressure was consistent. It was a massive relief when I had mastitis. Anyway, this video gives me flashbacks. 😅

[@margavanderwel1485]

Well that is a beautiful name, congrats to the person who thaught of that 😉

[@lindajc123]

Isn't it wonderful that someone thought up an invention that protects you from getting kicked and doesn't harm the cow AND you all discovered the product so you could use it!!

[@lauradavison4044]

Welcome to Poppy she is adorable and growing fast The new hip brace for milking looks brilliant. I suppose it just stops her being able to move her leg and hip to kick. Makes it look much safer to milk. Love all that milk and cream. We need to see Becky making cheese and butter.

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Much safer 👍🏻

[@Azooo1234]

Love you’re videos! Keep up the amazing Videos!

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thanks!

[@nikkireigns]

We always called those "clamps" at our dairy farms. Always had them lying around for problem cows, very rare. A simple rope can work in a pinch. I just stick my head in the little pocket in front of their legs 😂

[@bobbiemooser7417]

What a great gadget to keep the cowsb from kicking! Whoever invented that’s going to make a lot of farmers very happy! the aviary is looking great!❤🎉n

[@TerrieAllred2023]

I'm the one who suggested the kick bar, and I am so glad it worked for you! Now milking can be a nice experience! Where's my prize? 🤣

[@taragladieux122]

Isaiah with his goggles and stick around the roosters was the cutest! Poppy is a great name, and she has such big, beautiful brown eyes. We always look forward to watching your videos.

[@toniatalley1977]

You guys are such great people. My neighbors used to put something like you use to keep the kicking when milking m They work wonders. Wouldn't it

[@caramc5013]

Yay!!! I am so glad you found something that works! I couldn't remember the name of the thing. No one deserves to be kicked like that. I had to laugh because now she will learn her manners. 👍🤣🤣

[@jessicapabon2105]

That is so exciting I am so glad that that kick bar has worked very well for y'all! It was a very good invention and it's definitely worth every penny for everyone's safety involved. And Poppy is absolutely beautiful! She is just all giddy and bouncy LOL too cute for words. Look at all that cream yum so much you can do with that milk. Love watching y'all's vids. God bless you all and stay safe and stay lovely big hugs from Texas

So glad you guys got the kicking thing worked out.. Those hooves are no joke coming at your head, arm, or even hand. Wish I lived closer i'd pay for some of that fresh milk every week. I cannot find it here around me anywhere. Only goats milk. I even looked for milk shares. Nothing! Poppy is a great name! Have a great week ya'll. ♥

[@jamesbrown8718]

Jessica over at roots and refuge they used that same bar on their cow and it worked great on her as well.

[@nanashikenki]

Woooooooooh!

[@echokitten73]

My uncles used to use that “kick-bar” as they used to just call it -on their dairy farm when I was a kid in the 70s and 80s. When I was “helping” it was my job to get it down from the wall when they had a “kicker”

[@cynthiat6505]

So happy the device works!!! And Poppy is a great name. All that beautiful cream!!! So good in coffee! God bless you all.🌺

[@whitehouseonthehill]

Thank you, Cynthia!

[@onacona]

Looks like Poppy is doing great! Have you considered trying to halter train her/collaring her? So glad to see you guys investing in the Kow Kant Kick bar too! I always found myself so nervous when I saw you guys milking.

[@locleen]

Halter training poppy and spending time handling her all over might make her easier to work with when she’s grown.

[@Reverse2057]

Awww Poppy is such a cute name!

[@gracefaber6249]

I have one of those milking machines I use when I milk my cows at my county fairs. They are so nice and easy to clean.

[@scarlettmarsh1135]

Aww adorable name poppy love it ❤❤❤ and yay she can't kick amazing 🎉🎉

[@barbarahouk1983]

This Kant Kick bar is amazing. It is so safe to use. I am glad you get 3 gallons and the calf gets plenty. I know you cannot sell raw milk due to REGULATORY LAW. But healthy raw milk is great for the immune system. So much is under Regulatory law now. The Declaration of Independence was to free this nation from administrative law, aka regulatory law. We the people LOST! The governments of this nation have gone insane with regulatory law. I enjoy seeing your children experience life more like it was when I was young. They, like I, know from a young age we must eat plants and animals. I know you teach them to be thankful daily. This is the foundation of happiness. May you and your family continue to enjoy life and bring us along on your journey. TY, I enjoy this experience.

Justin I watch Crystal and her goats on Blue Cactus Farm. She uses a milking machine on all her does and she has over 20+. Go look her up for info. Hope this helps.
