In this latest episode #34 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac gives a brief overview of the milk cow, its place in the history of the small farm or homestead in the southern United States, and its many benefits to the small farm today: dairy uses like fresh milk, butter, and buttermilk, draft power, manure for soil building, replacement calves, and land clearing.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books (like Pa Mac's "Building an Old-fashioned Pole Barn") or DVD's by Pa Mac at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)
