Herd of Highland Cattle Marches Into the Stable

Simeon & Alex - formerly Swedish Homestead

Жыл бұрын

Every day, as part of my chores, I have to chain up 6 of the Highland Cattle cows. I have to hug them around their neck to get the chains on. At first it was a bit scary when they didn't know me yet, but now, after a few weeks, the cows don't mind at all. Tag along on my daily routine...

Many blessings on your journey. I worked as a university professor for many years before retirement. Now I raise organic vegetables, fruit trees, honey bees and dual purpose chickens. Never too late to start the dream!

I love how the farmer has trained those cows. It’s fascinating watching them go to their own spot and looks like he saves on food.

Farmers used to individually feed there cattle like that in Byers but they are gradually being banned in the last places still doing it.

It's like church. Everyone sits in the same spot. It is a little disconcerting if someone sits in the wrong spot.

Wonderful to see how calm they are. Thanks for sharing. We only have 2 acres in Northern Illinois. We have 21 chickens, apples, pears, cherries, raspberries, blackberries, honey berries. Pecan trees, hazelnuts planted. Plus a large garden. Maybe when my husband retires we will get more land. But you can grow a lot of food on 2 acres- plus we have 2 fish ponds that we can use to help fertilize the garden with as our sump pumps flow into them.. we have been here for 20 years and I’m constantly looking to see what I can add.

Sounds like an awesome plan. Have you looked into Holistic Management? I believe it could assist you so much in reaching your potential on the property. I love fruit and am planning on planting lots of trees on my property in the future.

Many years ago while growing up on a farm, my dad would feed yearling cows on a long feed bunk. There was a hierarchy as the cows lined up on either side of the long trough. The cows all knew their place, and if any one of them tried to change it, the other cattle made them know their place. Animal behavior is very interesting!

@lynnclark4208 Жыл бұрын

I used to take care of my father in laws cattle, horse, mules ( my husband would help every now and then). My father in law said all you need to do come feed time is tell them "Get in! Get in! kindly. They did just that with no problem. I look back and love the memories.

I am so glad you are taking the time to show us here in the states the beauty, old structures & ways of the Alps. I have visited Austria (where my Grandfather immigrated from). One of my favorite places was old Saltzberg. I still love remembering the shops, the 'icon' signs with no words and the awesome window displays. Can you share what your plans are for when you arrive here? Will you stay with friends or do you have other plans. Even though I'm a senior , I still like to learn and it will be fun to watch you begin your life here and build your farm. I'm hoping the visa process will speed up now, so hopefully you will be able to start growing in the spring.

Our family's bank barn when I was a child in south central Pennsylvania was built a lot the same as the one in the presentation - ours was south facing and the bank to the north - built in 1850. This barn area with the large beams was very much the same. Interested to know when this stable/barn was built.

I like my little smallholding - hating the weather though! So wet and wild, but I love the veggies and starting a food forest. We are getting 4 chicken tractors soon, not sure if our Muscovies will approve of being in them! But hoping to get more chickens this year, down to 2 bantams now. Thanks all.

It was so nice to see you and the boys working together with the cows. I am a 60 year old woman living by myself in a small town. I have always wanted to have a little farm, but, I have not been so fortunate. I do what I can right here in town. I garden, and also have a very small orchard. Someday, I may get a few chickens. Right now, at Kwik Trip, the eggs are $4.99 a dozen, butter is $3.99 a pound on sale, otherwise it is $4.99 a pound. I hope the prices are not as bad where you live. Keep posting the videos! God bless!♥️♥️

Scottish Highland Cattle are so awesome! They are smart, docile, and beautiful. My son has a herd of 34 at present, but each one has a distinct personality. Our Iowa winters can be harsh, but the cattle are quite capable of handling the cold if out of the wind.

Even in a big American dairy herd the cows have their own stalls or at least their favorite neighbors. When our was under 30 milking they all had their own stalls. Once we got bigger we let them choose. But they have instinctively desire for consistency. So if not the same stall they will want one close to it. So you end up with close to door cows middle cows and end cows. Regardless of breed grandpa had Guernsey and now we have Holstein, Jersey and Milking shorthorns. Interestingly enough I found my great great grandparents started with milking shorthorns in the 1860s when they immigrated here. So I'm the 5th and last generation to milk cows. Switching over to beef cows. You need 100 cows milking per family now in our area to make a living. So my 110 year old barn with 40 cow stalls is obsolete and will retire with me. I've loved farming for my 60 plus years but my night job fixing corporate jets pays the bills. Enough 365 24 hours a day for me. Best of luck to your family there is no better place for kids to grow up.
