Come along for our daily chore of milking our family cow as I share the daily milking process, caring for and enjoying time with Tulip, and straining the milk to chill before we make butter. Even with our new 150 cow dairy coming soon, I won't give up the joys and benefits of caring for our own family cows - and soon, milk sheep.
Until next time, thanks for watching!

There’s a farm here in the UK, Old Hall Farm that allows all the calfs to nurse until they’re 8 months old and I love that! I don’t know what your practice will be but I hope more farms would do that… they also have Jersey cows and the milk is absolutely divine! Plus, to know they are so loved and respected and that they get to nurse their babies as nature intended! I find the dairy industry so cruel when it separates the calf from the mother!

My favorite video you've done so far: from outside to inside, the home farm to future milking business, connecting young days in Brazil to fresh milk w/maple syrup & cinnamon, littlest one at the end passing his food to his slightly bigger sister, and of course kids having real, true fun sledding, which they'll remember forever & which most kids used to be able to do but fewer nowadays, to the information about milking to your grounded idea to keep Tulip there.

I was hand milking at the age of six. On those cold days, the cows would warm us up. I think the raw milk is easier to digest because all of the enzymes are in tact. When milk is pasteurized many of the enzymes are destroyed by the heating process.

Super! 🙏❤️💋 After the udder has been washed and dried, it is lubricated with a light natural cream with added vitamins to keep the udder soft. And it’s better to tie the tail to your leg so that the garbage doesn’t fall out and the cow doesn’t hit you with its tail. And the first streams of milk when you milk the cow are not allowed into the bucket 🙂 good luck, wonderful people!

Только нашей маме было сложнее, ей ещё по мимо дома, приходилось работать на государственной ферме,не смотря на то что, был и грудной ребёнок. Но раньше нельзя было по другому. У моей мамули ни когда не было выходных. Она была слабой здоровьем с рождения и умерла в очень молодом возрасте 30 лет. Но я мамулю вспоминаю с теплотой и любовью.

What a fun lesson on a Saturday morning! 🥛🐂 🐄 I have always loved farms, cows, chickens, etc. My favorite thing to do as a little kid, big kid, teenager, mom, etc… was go to my grandparents, aunts & uncles homes & to their farms in the country after they moved closer to the city. Looking back it was always my favorite thing to do & I always wanted to live on a farm but we had moved to the city soon after I was born so I was brought up in the city but my heart is still in the country & how I miss my grandparents!! I still love living out but I never got to live the farm life like you do!! I envy every single thing you’re doing out there & I still think about it even though I’m now 69 years-old! lol!! Of course I’ve always loved to cook, bake, sew, quilt, caring for my kids & any kids, etc. & I still do! I’ve kidded my mom & told her I’m going to out to homestead somewhere & she just laughs at me but you never know! Anything is possible! You take care, best of luck with all your new cows & the dairy & keep little life for us both! Give Tuip a great big hug for me❣️❣️ 🥰 🐂🐓🐄🐓

Good morning, Ballerina Farm! Thanks to you for sharing the milking process today. I really enjoyed watching the whole video. You helped me bring back memories of spending time with my grandparents and their milk cow that I had tucked away for way too long. Much of the process was the same except I remember my grandmother immediately putting the milk through a “processor” to separate it. Man, I was such a city kid then and thought butter was yucky. What I wouldn’t do now to go back to those times. Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
