Meet Maybe, my 4 year old, feral, beef Dexter cow. She's lived a life untouched, and untamed. Because of that, I've been told by everyone that it's too late for her to become a dairy cow...but we'll see about that!

First time ever hearing about a feral cow. Learned something new today. 😊
And I remember decades ago when milk purchased from the grocery store actually had flecks of butter/cream in it and would actually coat the sides of the ‘glass jar’!
(Yep! I’m that old!😅)
Fortunately in Australia that milk is back in has the cream on top has been parturized but not homogenised and its nearly the same price as the cheaper milk. Hubby and i cannot go back now to what he calls that watered down shit we used to drink.
The nosey donkey trying to get in the action at 0:39 made me chuckle😂
You have the patience of a saint, girl. Nice work.
Extremely cool! It was lovely watching her gradually get comfortable with you.
I love Temple Grandin's work. Her idea of using gentle pressure (squeeze chute) to calm down herd animals is so interesting. There's another (much less practical) invention called the Wheat Pressure Box which was invented for taming mustangs. Grandin did a write up of it on her website.
Years ago we were helping someone draw blood from a crazy ass mare who was not putting up with it at all. We finally placed her against a solid wall, and then we lined up and leaned quietly on her flank. She settled down enough so they could draw the blood. At the time I thought we were restraining her, but after learning about Grandin's work, I think we were mostly helping her calm down.
Another approach is Tellington TTouch massage. It was invented for horses, but it's also been used on cattle and dogs.
Congratulations on gaining her trust. Temple Grandin is such an amazing person. I was never diagnosed with autism - when I was a kid they just said "Something's not right with that boy". Watching that movie and reading some of her writing, allowed me to see myself in a new light and seek a therapist that could help me.
Something wasn't right with how they treated that boy! Wishing you well being yourself.
"You want me to put my head where?!???" After a week of trying ?Sucklecess"! Congratulations, dont tell Anne she's wasting her time or can't do something. What a strong, smart Lady,
Adam, great video. Thank You
Yay Anne. You’re a force to be reckoned with
You are such a beautiful person inside and out. It’s a joy to watch you showcase your life on the homestead. I know it’s not easy day to day, but I hope you continue to feel the love others have for you. Your personality is very high energy and lighthearted while still being honest and vulnerable with your struggles. You have no idea how much it all helps me to feel like it’s okay to struggle with the garden, or learning how to homestead or whatever the task is. I so appreciate your videos! ❤
That is awesome!! Anne, thank you for sharing your journey with us, and congratulations on gaining the trust of your cow!
Fantastic!! Congratulations, Anne.
Amazing, admirable and awesome.
Anne, a huge congratulations to you upon taking your time and the patience to be able to help your WILD ONE!!!. I really hope that you contacted the previous owners and dropped them the video of you being a total success with the milking of the wild one. It's also fantastic to see that Adam and you are still together and I hope and pray that you are both blessed with each others companionship for many many more years to come!!!. As always guy's 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
P.s guy's what's the status on the school building? It's been a while since we had any news from you 😊
YOU Are A BLESSING! thank you so much for sharing all that you share.
I love Temple Grandin
Way to go. You made her feel good and safe. Now look how tame she is. Peace from WV
The feral cow must have worked out that you made her more comfortable ❤
Yay Anne, perseverance pays off 🐂. Now what else can we tell you you can’t do? 😂
“Well, we tried. We’ll try again later”
Then the music and victory!
This was awesome! I have older Dexter cows I bet would let me if I was smart about it. Yay you and Temple Grandin. Ryan Rose the horse guy too
Gosh woman. You are such an inspiration. I love your channel. I came here for the woodwork a couple years back but I now have miniature silkie fainting goats and now I want cows!!! Thank you for all you share with us.
Great video! So fun to see both of you living out your passion…
Congratulations! Good job!
Growing up my father bought 5 calves from the neighbor dairy farmer . They were his"special" mix they were 3/4 Angus 1/8 Gersy and 1/8 Holstein. If you saw them you would think that they were just Angus. They were great cows they gave more milk than a straight beef cow so they raised good beef calves. They didn't give so much milk that they had to be milked but made a nice family milk cow. He broke them to lead and milk.
La patience et l'amour envers ces animaux . Peut faire des merveilles. Vous avez les deux en vous. Et en plus vous les respecter. Bonne continuation dans vos projets.
That was so cool to watch! Congratulations on the payoff! 😊
I was wondering if Dexter milk was any good. Great job lady!
I grew up the same way.
Anne, thanks for sharing your dream of milking your cow in a secure, well designed and strong stanchion system. You had success in your milking adventure because you looked at the project from the cow's point of view. Good bless you and Adam.
Y'all. I'm here stocking the camper for a 2 week lake trip (much needed). I'm listening and have to look when Annie's quiet. I literally yelled at the first miss, BE QUICK GIRL!
My husband side eyes 👀 me
The updated thumbnail is hilarious! You are courageous, that is For Sure!
Glad you didn't die!
Following along on social media was nerve-wracking. And now I had to relive it!! 😂 Your middle name is danger 😎
well i have always enjoyed watching your escapades. As someone who has Jersey cows and beef cows and have had to get our hands on all at one time or another, I can say I watched with interest how you gained her trust and then got the result you were after. Well done. By the way you can get a milking machine that is portable and does just one cow at a time.
Oh I have one, but when I’m only milking one cow, I really like to do it by hand. Too many dishes for just one cow to wash the machine every time 😅
Mom's neighbors had three fresh cows. She would let os make butter from the top inch by shaking in a cold Mason jar till the butter made. The rest in the jar got vinegar added to make clabber milk biscuits. They raised a rescued fawn off one cow that would actually suckle. Came back to visit twice a year for five years to show her baby. Had two one year.
@@StanErvin-yo9vl excellent, we pull the cream off the top and make butter in the Kitchen Aid Mixer with a whisk attachment
@@AnneofAllTrades ah the energy of youth. LOL we get about 2.5 to 3 gallons of milk from each cow per milking. You go girl.
*Anne, well done.... patience certainly paid off in the end...*
I love your courage and humor!
Congrats on your victory! I truly believe the main reason for your success is approaching it how the cow would think. It's amazing to me how many people in this day and age still try to force animals into doing what they want them to do instead of trying it the gentle way of encouraging the animal to do what you want them to do. It's way easier on everybody and oftentimes a lot more successful! Thank you for showcasing that.
Awesome..love from Kenya Africa.
You're the Queen
Anne is the best!
As a retired special ed teacher of those with autism, I really loved this video. I so admire Temple Grandin. Just discovered your site.
Good job Anne - patience is truly the way to go. Stay safe young lady.
That's freaking awesome! Way to go!
Way to go ! I watched Justin try to touch a cow for weeks. They come around. So much fun. Thank you for sharing.
amazing!! her horns would have skeered me to death!! Great job! just found you and am looking forward to bingeing your content!!
Very glad this has all worked out and that you are still alive.
And I do not believe you could ever play a baby grand piano while skydiving. Nope, no way.
*gauntlet thrown*
Good job, Anne.
Great job, A salute to perseverance
That thumbnail is the teats!!!
You are both brave and patient. All good things to those who wait.
I see she has horizontal 'happy lines' on the side/belly, although it is not clear what causes these happy lines, it is a sign that she is in good condition!
Halleluja-moment! Thanks !
😂so happy for all your success! Loved this video.
Great job Anne!
This was awesome! Way to go! And good job not dying 😅
My mom was in a wild milk cow event at a rodeo. She ended up taking a hard fall flat on her. I think the audience was norried a out her but it endedup being the best ack adjustment she ever had😂😂😂.
Hip hip. Hooray, Anne! Bravo🙌 You did it🎉
You go girl!!!!
Made me tear up to see Temple Grading and how her work helped. #audhdLife ❤❤❤
Yes ! Temple Grandin , Definitely shined a light on a lot of things for me. Pat Parelli was who mentioned her book "thinking in pictures" i got it and devoured it. I could relate to it so well , I thought "am i autistic ?" 🤔😳 Maybe not completely but definitely have a strong lean towards that side of the scale . Animals are absolutely my savior in behavior , ha ha.
I came across one of your videos last night, and spent the past 9 hours binge-watching one after another. I grew up on a farm like yours and the animals WERE my friends. It's 40 years later, and I am back on the same land, but without the animals and only 1 barn is still standing. I didn't have the benefit of Temple Grandin's books to help me understand why I am the way I am. That path of discovery began after my dad passed away 2 years ago. I had to figure out why the rest of my family wouldn't accept me for who I am. Dad was the only one who didn't try to change me into someone else. I think he knew I was different, and that's why we moved to the farm and got all the animals. None of my older siblings really cared for the farm or the animals, but they were everything to me. I miss them, and I miss my dad. I do have my dog, though, and my garden, which are just about all I have the energy for after a full day at work.
Anyway, I am thankful that I saw your channel. I will definitely check out your website. I figure I can "go back to the good ole' days" vicariously through your videos. I truly appreciate you sharing your adventures with us. I am also glad your cows are ok. We didn't milk our cows. They would have torn us to bits. The cows were for beef and the goats were for milk, and that worked out well for us.
This is why I make videos. Thank YOU for being such an enormous source of encouragement today. May you be richly, richly blessed. And pet that pup for me.
I am so thankful i came across your channel last night! I ended up crocheting and watching many hours of videos last night haha. You are such a bright light and your smile and joy makes me smile without even realizing im doing it! Thank you for making such amazing videos and for being such a compassionate human. I realize i have a lot in common with you and i really appreciate you sharing your day to day life, your challenges, your joys, and your wisdom, amongst many things, with us :)
Very kind words. I'm so glad you're here! 🙏 🙏 🙏
@@AnneofAllTrades I'm glad I'm here as well! Now that I re-read my comment, it's kinda a scattered mess so I hope you got what I was saying haha. I'm turning 33 this year and your videos are where id be happiest in life and I think they may be the push I needed to actually go for it. Thank you, it means more than I can express 💜
Awesome job!
😂I was internally freaking out with you!
Great lesson Anne on determination!
You’re just all around awesome! Love your channel.
This is fantastic. Such a whole story collected into beautiful short film!
Really enjoy this video. It is great to see you do something when everyone says no. There is a group of people in the world that animals first. If you are part of the group you are very lucky. It is nice to see another person in that group. Thanks for sharing!
I’m seriously impressed!! You have inspired me and given me hope for taming my highland cows 🙂
Well done! That was a awesome strategy and a joy to watch! Congrats!!
Milking Maybe, What a concept
You're SO incredibly talented and special. Love watching your videos.
Love it!! Great job!
You are very inspiring
Well done!
❤❤❤❤
You are such an inspiration!!!
You are such an awesome person ❤️
You are just amazing! Keep up the farm, you go girl!
just found your Chanel today.. Absolutely love your videos!..
Glad you’re here ❤️❤️
Great job! A lesson in patience for all of us...
Congrats
Ever met Temple Grandin? Seen the movie? She would adore you….I think. If she didn’t, you’d know it pretty quickly. She’s an innovator. Revolutionized the cattle industry. Maybe I’m overshooting, but I’d like to think so. Now, going to finish this vid. Hope it ends well.
Omg! You have! Sorry, should have watched it all. 😅
Congratulations and PROOF you CAN teach a cow new tricks! Love it! So, is the milk from feral cattle as good as Jersey milk? Would be interested to know. I also LOVE the writing of Temple and I too, as a bullied child, completely connected with all types of animals, but especially birds.
This is so awesome!
Totally High Five!
Love this!
Welcome to Texas..106 today! I’m renting my house out and moving to Hell! I enjoyed you video and can say wrestling a cow in any temperature is a challenge.
Fantastic work! How about starting with a white tarp as a roof. Maybe? Might make flapping sounds.
Oh I already have the roof ready to go, just waiting for the right time to install. The tarp would flap too much as you mentioned.
Amen to daily cream in the coffee
Saw the title, immediately clicked, and completely forgot what i was in the middle of watching before this
I think any new animal that arrives on your farm sees, from the reactions and mannerisms of the other animals interacting with you on a daily basis, that you are their friend and mean them no harm. I'm betting that went a long way in calming Maybe enough for her to allow you to milk her. Great job all around, Anne!! 😃🐮
You’d think, but Maybe escaped my loving touch for two years prior to this video 😂😂
Raised on farm, young cows with first calf are hard to milk. the learning process is the same , Been kicked many times was milking 5 head threw my 4 years on high school, but was taught buy a 2 or 3 day old calf let it do the work and make money at 6 to 8 weeks old .Baby beef brought good money back then??? like your show and the animals
Beautiful God bless 😊❤
Love your can do energy! You inspire me to get off my butt :)
You have built yourself quite the life.
Amazing!
Great video
Are there plans for this milking stanchion? I love the look of it
Way to go!! 👍
good job
That's was awesome
I watched this video sitting in my office chair, twisting my torso the other direction so that I'd be able to whip my head away and not see if the cow went bonkers. Good job! Oh, and thanks for the opportunity to stretch.
WE GOT MOO MOO MOO YUM YUM YUM
