Training To Milk Coco Day 1
Переглядів 72День тому
Coco is a first calf heifer due to calve in the next month or two. She wasn’t halter trained at all prior to getting her. This has been a challenge but worth it and a sign that says ANYONE can do this with a little time, patience and kindness. We’ve earned one another’s trust every day
Coco’s Calf Countdown Has Begun!

Coco is due to calve in September or October. She was exposed to the bull beginning the day after Thanksgiving 2023 and through January 2024. We are so super excited to see what her calf looks like and whether or not she gives us a heifer or a bull calf! Then milking will commence! Stay tuned!

Worms!!! Why Every Homestead/Gardener Should Raise Them!
I just made some comfrey salve two days ago
Great!!!!
Teach sister 🙏❤️✌️
I will always pass on my knowledge! Have an amazing day
As I’m observing. When you ask her to put her foot back. Use your foot as you tell her to put her foot back, and kind of hold her foot back with your foot for a few seconds. holding her back. Helps her understand what you want. The flies, spray her with a homemade spray before you get started. I think she will transition easily into a milk cow. Good reminder about her plugs & keeping bacteria out. The tail can be tied to her back leg furthest from you. Thankfully you have glasses on. I like your new set up against the wall is perfect.
@@ElementalDexters thank you! That’s helpful!
Question, why use the super fine seive if you dump it back in with everything else? Just curious, I don't think we have the super fine one, and we're getting ready to sift for our first time today!
What goes through the fine sieve is the frass and goes in garden and house plants to feed the soil. That fine sieve will still get eggs in it from passing through previous one. Sometimes you’ll STILL have eggs that get through even the fine one.
I stopped raising mealworms about 2 years ago as I became highly allergic to them
This is a super example of building trust. I am really impressed. Great 3 rd session.
Thank you! Wait till you see day 4!
all the things a typical person wouldn't know what to do in preparation for the calf. Building some new trust makes sense. Its been beautiful to watch your bond grow with eachother 🤍
Thanks! For sure the trust is needed… just like with any relationship with any other animal or any human
Amazing!
Thanks for the rooting section!
Great job! I had a smile on my face the whole time. Because I’ve done this. A couple of things. Tie her about muzzle high when she’s standing, w/ only enough rope to eat. Next, make it easy on yourself, pick a side to milk on. Push her up against something, a fence, wall, large wheelbarrow, whatever. Teach her to accept you sitting near her udder. Then try washing. She did great! You are doing amazing. I love that you’ll do this daily. Or even more than once a day.. You’ve got this. You are so right, if you have your own heifer, it’ll be that much easier to train her from birth. Following and loving it! 😊
@@ElementalDexters today was day 2 and it went much better! Will upload that in a bit… thank you for the encouragement! I did tie her closer today. I was planning to sit but the seat I was planning on using wasn’t out there since my husband was using it. It’s his mechanic chair thingy on wheels lol
So tie her only at the level towards ground for her to eat.
She says Mom.. quit checking out my behind... haha
Hahaha I have to!!! I need to know when this girl is getting closer to having her calf lol
Her udder attachments look really good. Exciting! Thanks for the update.
Thank you! Very exciting
He’s awesome!
@@ElementalDexters he truly is!!!
is interesting that you named him McClintock, instead of Rooster Cogburn!!
@@veronicagdowning i named him that because I already had a rooster named Rooster Cogburn. When he passed away I named one of his sons RC for short version of dad. All of my male roosters have had JW names.
😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Haha
LOVE the idea of using the deodorant tubes for the salve! Thanks for sharing.
Of course! They are amazing so hands don’t get messy
BFF
Very much
Kruse Cow Palace
Thank you honey
I dont know if this helps you at all but the box I keep my beatles in had the bottom replaced with fine mesh then sat ontop of a shallower box, the beatles lay their eggs across the mesh then as they borrow around the substrate it causes the eggs to drop into the container below, any that dont fall thru fall thru after hatching 😅:) been a total game changer
I don’t raise them anymore. I became horribly allergic to the frass. But thank you!
haha she said come here im not done ! SO cute
Truly..
Freeze the berries so they don’t smash
I’ve done both ways. It seems that the stems are so much harder to get off of berries when frozen. They seem to snap off with them
What are you using to tape those up with?Where can I get it
Just google plant tying tape gun
that's a real steamy pile😂
lol mmhmm
Awesome, thank you
🥰
We recently moved to a rural area about 6 months ago. I’ve had my indoor kitty for several years but she’s never encountered mice before. She also wasn’t the most affectionate cat ever but I love her. In the last 2 months tho she has caught 5 mice and she has become way more playful and affectionate. It’s crazy how energetic and alive she is all due to mousing. Scared the hell outta me tho when she came trotting outta my dads room with a paralyzed half dead mouse to present to me 🤣
Hahaha what an awesome story and transformation! Want to hear something funny? My yellow lab dog has out moused even our two cats! He’s a badass mouser! Hahaha stealth mode until he catches them! And he’s super fast! The cats now capture and play with them and bat them with their paws all over the floor! 🤦🏽♀️😂
For some clarity on that 150° a gentleman just sued a hotel because the water jumped up Suddenly to 150 degrees Fahrenheit and scolded him😮
Ouch
I find these interspecies friendships fascinating and beautiful!
I sure do too!! Thank you for this comment!
OH MY heart strings ! They finally bonded such a sweet moment!! BFF for life now
I was shocked when I turned around and saw it lol
I love they are best buds now.. so sweet!
So sweet
Just came across this even through this was posted a while ago and was in tears, I love how much of a bond you both have and that it strengthens 🙂
Keep going and you'll have some amazing cheese
Can’t wait… my first- calf heifer is due this fall. This is just a half a gallon I got from a neighbor down the road!
Hey. I'm having this same issue with my buck currently. Did you find a solution?
Yes… leave them in there long enough and they’ll finally do it. Lol There is a video that I capture our experience with that. It’s a sad video but I think the title is something about tragedy striking on the homestead if you want to look it up.
@@KrusinTheSierra Thank you. Will definitely look it up. Appreciated
I don't have a clue. Try researching it. I hope you figure it out. You have a beautiful garden.
I’m so stumped!!! Never had this happen before! I’ve been researching and will continue to. I’ll update later if they begin to produce or not. Thank you for your comment!
Oh my goodness.I wonder if that's what's going on with mine.They'll have a flower but nothing happens with it
S❤ sweet!
Very!
The coronation sussex is a beautiful breed
The hinged hardware cloth covering over the strawberry bed looks handy! How has that been working for you?
Works great! Bees can still enter to pollinate!
Soak barley for 48 hours..rinse and drain. To prevent mold, rinse them every 12 hours. Within next 2 days, it would sprout. Why make it complex...A'la Americana??.
Thank you for your comment
Who is coco?
My Dexter heifer
Amen to that it was my daughter who “introduced” me to her channel with the video she did of canning Navy Beans 🫘 💯🐎
She’s got a lot of good ones
Is it possible to rely on only sprouted barley as feed for organic chicken layer? And my second question is Organic chickens lay how many eggs per year, because some say 80 eggs per year and others say more than 150 eggs per year. (In free range) Thank you and God bless you
No you can’t rely strictly on barley fodder. Depends on the breed of chicken as to how many eggs they will lay per year.
I feed many many things to my chickens. If you search my playlist you’ll find a video on all the things I feed my chickens
Do you know the yield (grams of dry powder / grams of fresh microgreens)?
I’ve never measured it but I sure can the next time I do a tray!
@@KrusinTheSierra that would be awesome. do you know when you plan to next?
did you inoculate with grain spawn or liquid culture?
Liquid culture
My scape's are just starting to show.
Wonderful!
Patience
Yes! I’ve got that
Beautiful chickens
Thank you
Nice 👍🏽 blessings to you and your garden 🍃
Thank you
Do they have thorns? Mine in the wild do, but I don’t see any.
Incredible ❤
She’s the best
Tell me more about scapes ?!?!
I sent you voice message. But it is the way that a garlic plant goes to “seed” a garlic scape becomes a flower with seeds in it. You and I planted ours by cloves…. You can also start from seed. I put mine through a food processor last year and then freeze dried and powdered a bunch. I also used in stir fry and I also saved some seeds. I also deep fried some like an onion ring… tasty but stringy.
Your gentle encouragement is showing dividends and Coco seems relaxed and happy to listen to your voice. Coming along nicely :)
Thank you! I enjoy her so much and am thrilled with even the smallest gains!
This is soooo special
🥰
OMG IM SO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS!
Hahaha for sure! Hair Is Great!!!
How long did you freeze dry them for? and what was the temperature you had it at?
Until the machine told me it was done. I always knock it down to 95° for all capsule items. Takes a little longer than the regular 125° but I want to preserve as much of the goodness as I can.
