Good looking herd ! Clean and some nice udders in there !
I shure wouldent saleout! these dumb ass southerners are stupid from texas all the way threw missisippi and alabamma and arkansaw they have sold all the farms farmers in ms only raise corn no animmals dumb ass rednecks
veggigirl is just a name i chose when i was making the profile because i love veggies i eat them all the time they’re my main stapple in life but i do eat pork and cow and chicken oh how i love chicken and i want to raise meat rabbits too. Cows not too interested now that ive had goat milk i think i can do without. But u may be right everybody wants that but the differnce btwn me and everyone else is that im going to really do it.
Veggoe girl that is the point. Every body wants a plot of land and a cow or two. But you also want goats and rabbits and chicken. You should be happy to have just a cow. In India people used to live in the city and have just a cow. But now there are no cows in the cities. They are kept outside the city area and they have to buy the milk from the stores. But if you are a veggie girl why do you need rabbits and ducks and Chicken. You really are not a veggie girl.
Now I know why the cows were so confused. They were refusing to come out of the barn & just huddling together outside the barn. The cows should have been kept inside the barn until the morning milking & taken to the pasture. A farmer needs at least 200 to 300 cows to make a good living. This farmer says he has only fifty cows. He has to learn how to make loan application to borrow money to buy more cows & to convince banks to that we’ll be able to produce enough profit to pay back the loan.
Eating grain that is. I just want a plot of land with 2 or 3 cows and 2 goats, some chickens and rabbits and turkeys and ducks all raised on raised on grass with enough room to graze. the pond will have tilapia in it and be covered in duckweed. Seems really nice. Perfect really.
Man, what I would give to raise animals the way they do. The right way without chemicals or GRAIN, or even extra minerals. Grass! its what they were made to eat why not let them continue to eat GRASS! God people can be stupid. There was a study done thats being hushed right now that found that feeding cattle and other animals that otherwise would not be eating it is linked largly to cancer.
my girlfriends froma dairy farming family and have 54 cows milking at time of typing but have a dozen waiting to calf and 2 or 3 with calf and a dozen waiting to be bulled they are all friesan some of the calfs are hereford cross im not a farmer but i would love to have my own farm but beef and sheep and poultry (chickens and turkeys for christmas)
This is actually my Amish friend’s second farm. He is highly successful by Amish standards, or by any standards for that matter. He moved to another community in southern PA that suited him better. They do use machines here, and he is probably milking close to fifty cows now.
He is allowing my son to bring back Lovergirl, my own cow he has kept these many years, AND her daughter Lovely just coming into her prime. He has ever remained a faithful friend.
Amazing the cows have names instead of a number and one
is 14 years old.
I guess the hand milking is better plus the glazing in the fields.
16 cows is a small dairy.
on another video 260 cows was considered a small dairy
that has milking machines when compared to factory farms.
Their is a 8000 cow dairy with robot milking machine a
factory maga dairy farm.

Do the Amish community allow the use of tractors? Or maybe I might have confused that object on the back.

Reminds me of my uncles dairy farm. Spent several weeks on the farm one summer and it was an experience I will never forget.

Yes indeed. Being out on pasture all summer makes a big difference.
