potato.the. unicorn true ,in olden era that use to happen

The babies have to be separated from the mother so we can have the milk instead of the baby. If that isnt abuse then I don’t know what is.

Little Dot you can milk cows and sell the milk and still have the baby drink their mothers milk

Little Dot my family had a cow and the person who would milk the cow would give the milk away and also let the baby cow drink milk

potato.the. unicorn true but that doesn’t happen when milk is mass produced by big companies and a lot of people aren’t that nice.

Yup

My cat clicked this comment with his dhfpaw

Your right 🌼

nope it isnt you need to milk a cow everyday

All cows are treated this way, even on big dairy farms

Yeh them machines are brutal I’m glad they do it by hand also I don’t really drink milk I’m just watching because animals

This is the first time I see a place like that made for hand milking. In East Europe they milk in the field with just a bucket

I did that when i was at kinder garden but instead of in the bucket i shot it at my teacher and friends

hi twin lmAo

Ew

Right! Also their eyes so pretty with these eyeliners They are pure art.

They are happy

Yes, they both have really pretty eyes. Like they were drawn by Disney!

I thought so too.

Yeah, I thought the same, they are REALLY pretty cows, this is my first video by this person and at the beginning all I could think about was how beautiful there cows are

Rebecca W. People are at fault if they are willing to pay $20 for a cup of milk this wouldn't happen

If the dairy industry did this, the prices would shoot sky high, there wouldn't be nearly enough sales, the companies would go out of business and the cows would be turned into delicious steaks and hamburgers. Is that really what you wish?

What a abuse are you referring to? There is so much misinformation out there. You really should visit a farm yourself before you make judgements. Our herd was our livelihood, and we took care of them. Me very cow had a name and we knew the history of every cow, and their quirks. Each cow is different.

Robert Heinkel I’m talking about the industries who lock their cows in between bars and make their utters sore by the machines they put around them. The industries that get their cows pregnant to make more milk then they rip the mother and calf apart immediately or end up killing it. Those are the types that I’m disgusted by.

Honey, you really do need to get a grip on reality. By the way Rebecca just how old are you? Robert is correct. Also, stop with your Anthropomorphism. (look it up). AND NO, they don't rip the calf away from the mother because the calf does need mother's first milk which is call Colostrum and has all the antigens and antibodies the calf needs to get its immune system up and running and humming along. No the machines and the metal bars do not hurt or harm them. Do as Robert suggested and go to a dairy and ask when they are milking to put your finger in one the suction cups to feel what the cow feels when it is attached to its tit. It is a soft pulsating sensation from the pulsator, and it sucks to your finger by the vacuum from other machines. Yes there are some people who treat cow badly, but they are far and few between. Some cows such as Jersey need to be disciplined when they are young because they can be cantankerous on their first milking. I have seen one man just about have the "S"it kicked out of him by an angry Jersey, who, by the way are actually one of the shortest breeds but with the best high fat milk. I believe the cow in this video is a Guernsey.

I wanna have a farm and do this

But be super gentle with my animals

My Great Aunt and Uncle would go to friends of theirs on the edge of town who had two cows that they milked. They would buy a 2 two gallon jugs of milk from them every week or so, and separate the cream out themselves. My Aunt made her own butter, buttermilk, and we always had cream for strawberry short cake and black berry cobbler. They also used it in their coffee. They also had friends who ran a lot of chickens, and they went and bought their eggs from them. Huge 30 egg flats. We always had enough to eat. The had an acre garden behind the house. They only bought coffee, bacon, bread, sugar, flour, baking soda and powder, salt, pepper, soda crackers, and any other pork that they consumed. Which wasn't much. That's how old farmers lived. They were both in their 80s when I was a kid. I still miss them.

I think you can buy it at whole foods in glass jars

I buy a family farm brand I don't remember the name but I know that its family farm

Brenda Stratton plus, she hates the bucket bumping into her butt. So after that first time in the stanchion, she hasn’t pooped or peed in the stanchion since! That’s a tip I learned from one of my cow mentors in CT.

Yeah. Did nt see a changing of gloves between using the buckets going back to milking,don't think I would be buying their milk ¡!!

jezebelmarion we edit out potions of the video, so the video isn’t too long. Don’t worry, everything is sanitary and sanitized after handling and urine or feces

I know you edit. Might be an idea to leave that bit in. Used from other comments i wasn't the only one to pick up on it. I take it back . I would buy your mil!. Now,when are you opening a shop in surrey, I'm ? 😀

Sorry for mistakes. Auto correct is useless and I cannot turn it off.!!!!!!!

sloth lady live AGGREED 👍

I agree

Agree 👍

Slaughter but also before that they milk them so hard they bleed from their boobs? I don't know how u call it in English Sry xc

sloth lady live Totally agree!

Becky Shell I know a certain youtuber who has some skinny cows :o

I know someone on yt who had a skinny cow, she was just built that way, some cows are just skinny. Like an Italian Greyhound, Greyhound or sight hound.

Becky Shell I love jerseys. They’re my favorite dairy breed

Becky.....actually.....grain feeding for calves was something that my Great Uncle did, but his grain was nothing but cracked corn. Today it's all pellets that have been infused with antibiotics, hormones and a host of other chemicals that are starting to show up in our kids making them fertile, and little girls producing breasts, way too young. Grain fed beef is the ideal as long as the grass is natural, and not specially planted. And did you know that cows shouldn't look fat? They should be well filled out, but not fat. A cow was only fattened up for slaughter. My uncle grass fed most of his Black Angus, and always had good resale when he needed to. He had a huge Hereford bull, called Lucky Sunday, and with that produced a very large well fed calf every year for sale as steers. Hey..as a farmer you have to get used to the idea that what you are raising is going to be eaten. Including the heifer we kept in the paddock and called Tinker Bell every summer. We ate the Tinker Bell from the year before even as we were petting, special feeding with table scraps, the current one. That's the way life was. Still is if you want to get down to brass tacks. My family had been out on the farm since 1832.

Sorry Bbecky but that is a Guernsey. Check out the top left photo in the images section; www.google.com/search?q=guernsey+cow&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUlc3jnb7dAhWqxVQKHYErCbIQ_AUIDigB&biw=1920&bih=916 I hope it comes up as it did for me. That top left photo looks almost exactly like the cow in this picture.

No Restrictions cows love a routine, this is where she is fed every day.

That's interesting. All I ever saw was those about to go through qurbani and looked frightened so

No Restrictions Treating an animal kindly goes a long way

They need to be milked either by us or by their calves other wise their udder gets too heavy and it gets terrible diseases This may not be entirely true especially the last part

@@snappyclam7587 If you're not sure what you're saying is true, should you really be saying it?? Come on, use your head.

Susan S yes! You’re right. I’ve actually started looking for someone to come and do her feet. I’ve got an experienced cow friend I’ll be asking soon if I can’t find anyone else.

You said threat not treat lol

made me have to go pee! 🤣

Yea after a while if i was a farmer when the cows baby grows up then i will butcher the cow and i will give the cow little milk

@@ahmedmahgoub9606 What?

elamrous 98 lake this

lawrence murakaru 😂😂😂😂

Tasty as well.

KristenGibson_CanadianGirl it’s so frustrating when they feel the need to do that. I hold the bucket up there because she hates it, so she has caught on pretty quickly that if she poops and pees before she comes on the stanchion, I won’t hold that awful bucket up to her butt. Poor cow, the indignity 😂

Forever in love with you omg she does lol

No she doesn't you guys are silly

I don’t see it personally

She does :0

She kinda does

old time engineer not really. They use the calf to relieve them from having to milk. It's actually great calf sharing

Well, technically Kristen he is correct...the calf is old enough to be weaned. But I agree with you that she is being very helpful at the moment taking the evening milking off their hands so to speak :)

Actually Brian, that's not exactly right. A calf's *rumen* doesn't fully mature until the calf is at least 3 months old. (The rest of the digestive tract is already mature by the time the calf is born. But the rumen? In a newborn calf, it's barely the size of a pea!) Between the time that it starts eating grass, hay, grain, sampling what momma's eating, the calf is still pretty young, by around two or three weeks old. By the time it's a month or so, it's starting eat more feed and forage, but still needing momma's milk. All that eating other things besides the milk helps the calf's rumen develop over time, until it's mature by around, typically, 3 months of age. A study was done to test what feeds were best to help develop a calf's rumen, and it turned out milk was the least favourable compared with grain and hay, with grain being the most favourable in the study. So, even when a calf isn't weaned until it's 6 or 8 or even 10 months old, the milk is only acting as an extra source of nutrients for more weight gain, growth, and the like for that calf. Between 3 months of age, and say, 10 months, the calf could be weaned at any time. The *biggest* factor beyond that 3 month-old age limit to determine when is best to wean the calf is actually the cow herself: "Is the calf 'pulling down' the cow?" "Is she losing body condition by continuing to provide milk for her calf, when the calf could be weaned so that she can then focus on herself without also having to have her body convert what she eats into milk for her calf?" I've no doubt that Luna's rumen is already fully mature. She could be weaned at any time, because she's ready to be on "full feed" and no more milk. But, since it's not any of our decisions (naturally), and Ladybug is still in great condition, Luna could be on for as long as Aust and K need/want her to be on. Sorry for the long-winded reply. :)

Karin L Don't apologize, that's a lot of great information that I'm sure many people didn't know. Thank you!

Let momma take care of when it's time to ween her calf, she knows best.

Telly what?

Telly Jart lol

Allison ' s Folly's Just remember when you have breakfast That we're milk come from

I have no problem where milk comes from ; ) the flinch was like when you watch a suspenseful movie and an eyeball shows up when you least expect it. lol

I thought it was raining lol

Dandykay y same :p

Same 😕

Most people who are lactose intolerant can drink Raw ( unpasteurized) milk. Pasteurization destroys the Lactase making the milk i digestible to those with an intolerance to lactose. Lactose pills are putting back that past of what the heat of pasteurization destroyed.

Gayle Klein they are

Not sure if you're familiar with this. I used to bathe my horses the usual way, but then rinse them with a 50/50 mix of water and white vinegar, which is a smell that all flying insects absolutely despise. Really works to keep yeast and fungii under control on the skin. Putting a little apple cider vinegar in the drinking water also helps change blood chemistry to repel the pesky critters too and will purge intestinal parasites. When the flies get really bad during the hottest months, you can use a hose end sprayer ($7.95 at Wal-Mart) to wash down the walls of the milking parlor with the same 50/50 mix of water and vinegar. The smell lasts until all the liquid evaporates (about an hour) and should make the chore more comfortable for you. Ladybug has Ingrid Bergman eyes.

Elsa TJ it’s a fly mask to avoid flies flying into their eyes!

@@isabellapeters7169 thanks

Isabella Peters i was wondering the same thing lol ! interesting !

You can put them on horses too. It would be annoying having flies land around your eyes.

Yes, Austin works hard on the production values of their videos, and it really shows. He does a great job!

Fiona C #askhomesteady

And there was definitely no changing of gloves after urination. Probably not after defecation. So that's good

@@mayaneily8020 homesteady changed the gloves, just edited that part out bc it's not very interesting

Marilyn Quinonez #askhomesteady

I was thinking the same

I was like 🤢 when I noticed that too. She’s slurping on urine and feces bacteria after wards, ew.

Yeah--I noticed that right away. In a previous comment, Homesteady responded that they had edited the glove change out. Based on a lot of the grossed-out comments, it is almost guaranteed that if they ever show something similar again, that they will leave it in! It was probably such an automatic thing to change the gloves, that they didn't even think about it.

Yes there was there were some comments before asking and they replied, she edited out the glove change part for times sake

I was just going to ask those exact same questions, thanks for saving me the typing time, lol!

stacey gresbach after milking the cow/goat everyone at the countryside I know is boiling the milk. After that it's good to drink. I used to drink raw milk after my grandma was milking the cow,but just a little bit. But to animals you can give raw milk. My grandma used to feed the cats first after milking the cows.

We always get raw milk from a farm nearby and boil it before drinking. But it can stay in the fridge as raw for atleast 24hrs. But if you don't boil it, it will go bad. Our dogs love to drink the raw milk though!

@@anushkabahutule4970 That's absolutely not true. Actually, it's ridiculous. Milk can be left raw days and days without going bad.

@@lisakukla459 I think it depends on the geographical area, where I'm from it's always 25-30C .. so things go bad pretty easily.

U know..i don't think so😂

Debbie Bragg she didn't touch the poop

I was so extremely grossed out by that. I was really shocked, but no one in the comments seemed to care. Had to scroll far down to find this comment.

@@silvermoon1955 well, that was a stupid thing to do.

raw cow milk is so NASTY

@@xxflameaminoxx you're nasty for hating milk

Emmarina i don’t hate milk, but milk straight from the other in my opinion tastes weird, have you ever tried it? lol

@@xxflameaminoxx You can get diseases from drinking raw cow milk.

Narnia Business yeah definitely a one time thing then, thanks for telling me

S. Woods She is. She got pinkeye from a fly (before they got her) that damaged her eye, which is why they have her wear the fly mask
