***** About Venison for Dinner *****
Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey! Our family- Kate and Marius plus our five kids, have always enjoyed living a homemade life whenever possible. Moving 1000 miles north in 2017 to Northern BC, Canada upped our game even more. We live on a 34 acre homestead and get a kick out of things like raising our own meat, dairy and vegetables. Theres plenty of failures, you’ll be sure to see those here too. We’re a homeschooling family who believes life is the best teacher but we do hit the books in winter. I’m so glad you’re here, I hope you stick around!
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

As a farmer, I know it’s tough losing the milk production but you’ve many more years with a good cow so try and think it’s a short term loss. Also, all farmers would ask each other for advice as generations of experience means a lot, plus we can’t be calling the vet without good need as it’s so expensive so don’t feel judged by any UA-cam ‘expert’ comments…..you’re doing a great job 😊
Thank you for the boost!
I LOVE you and your family video/s! Please don't stop making them. Watching them lets me take a deep and feel good with everything in the News these days.
Same! I started having middle aged lady "issues" last fall, my hormones were causing me lots of anxiety. I found Kate's channel and it gave me peace and joy. Praying for you, Kate!
Thank you so much.
It's so hard when your animals are sick and milk dumping is so frustrating. I feel for you. Also I have friends I can call who know more about goats then a lot of the vets around here so I totally get that. Nothing against the vets they just work more with horses and cows. I hope the penicillin works, I need to go through my animal meds and reorder some stuff.
I'm happy to see Freja (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) running around outside in her pj's. My daughter is the same way! Your goat is just the cutest. Thanks for sharing so much on UA-cam, I really appreciate it. I've learned a lot from you being a first time milkmaid. We found out that our cow had mastitis just as we were about to start keeping the milk for ourselves which was very disappointing, so had to dump for 4 days. I can't imagine how discouraging 14 days must feel! I'm excited to see what your "creative" way to get milk from a friend is, being a fellow Canadian (pretty much parallel to you, just in AB). I hope you have some wins this week to make up for Clover being sick. 💕
Thank you fellow milkmaid! Things feel like they are looking up.
Wish I knew you personally, love how real you are in your videos and look forward to every post. Hang in there with the cow, you got this under control and goodness knows your doing everything you possibly can.
Thank you. Seriously I appreciate the support!
Kate, I have faith everything will continue to prosper as Im sure many of your other viewers feel the same way. I am relatively new to your channel within the last year but I have seen 80 to 90 percent of your videos and I look forward to your biweekly uploads. I almost feel like part of the Venison for Dinner family even though you don't know me. So keep your chin up your doing an excellent job just keep doing what you are doing. Because one day when you have 100k subscribers your family will look back at all of this and laugh.
Thank you so much for your written words of support. They keep me/us doing what we do.
Ohhh and it's MUD Farm season at your house too.. It will get better and I mean that in more than just the mud . Sometimes it just seems to be a lot at once
Your babies are so happy❣️
So, I've tried to "like" this video three times now and it keeps telling me the action isn't allowed. So I'm commenting to let you know in case it's not just a me problem and to say I like this video. 😁 Hopefully your cow gets better with this round of treatment.
FYI whatever the issue was it's now fixed. I came back to check if if I could like it and now I can. 😁
Thanks for checking back! Our cow is getting better too!
@@VenisonforDinner glad to hear that! I'm really happy I found your channel. I love the content and your recipes have been a hit around here! 😁 Thanks for posting content and thanks for replying to comments 😁
I feel like people that don't raise large animals tend to be quick to assume that the vet is the ultimate in care. That may be the case with small animals but with large animals, I find a vet is not always a better option than an experienced farmer. I actually had a vet tell me with regards to a pig issue that I should find an old pig farmer because they would know much more than the vet personally knew about pigs and then the vet would write the script on whatever medication I needed. My vet is well versed in cows because she runs a dairy farm too but she'll come right out and say she isn't the best source for pig information. For a lot of people, the only big animal vet they can get is a horse vet and their experience is not universal to all large animals. Some other things I like to keep on hand....tubes for collecting milk samples (like in the case of mastitis), blu kote, Vetericyn spray, LA 200 sprayed directly into the eye works well to treat pink eye, pulling chains for calving, I like to have vitamin E powder on hand for my dairy cow to prevent mastitis or other infections, oil of oregano in pigs' water is excellent to help with diarrhea at weaning. I have corrid and sulfa boluses on hand but have yet to need them. We have oxytocin for difficult pig farrowing....its amazing what you acquire over time. I don't have a bloat treatment on hand, but that is an excellent idea and will be added asap!
great list!
@@VenisonforDinner try adding canned pumpkin for diarrhea problems in many animals. Works on dogs.
Sending lots of love and light to you and Clover! Some days, weeks, months are tougher than others….in the long run the struggles are worth it. ❤️
I hope Jessa gets better real soon.
Hi!! New subscriber here from Ontario. I have been binge-watching your videos. You have the perfect personality for this platform. I wish you lots of success getting the channel where you want it to be. I have a question for you, do you or the hubby have other jobs to sustain yourselves or is it the social media and farm that sustains you? By the way, I came across your channel from your collaboration with Bri.
Welcome!! We don't have other jobs. Marius is a carpenter so if we need to work off the property he will go back to that. We feel so very fortunate to be doing this work. Thanks for joining us here.
@@VenisonforDinner So basically you are both able to sustain yourselves from YT and the farm but he has a skill that he can fall back on to get some $$. Well, I am really enjoying your channel.
POOR!!!!!!! So hard to see you try not to cry!!!! 😭😭😭😭
Sending prayers and good thoughts.
Your kiddos are too cute
We do those kiddos...big and small.
Love your content. Sending some good energy to you and your sweet Clover. Love seeing your kiddies playing with the baby goat. So adorable and just what I needed to see today!!!
Booze KombUChaaa lol.. you’re a hoot! Prayers to momma.. peace and calm over your farm and minds and hearts .💕💕🙏
Your vet box is very nice! We have beef cattle and recently added a milk cow, we make sure to include ob supplies because heifers. I include gloves, lube, ob chains and sutures. I also try to keep an assortment of general first aid, vet wrap, scalpels, ointments, betadine, gauze... I think it's easy (and sometimes needed) to end up with the whole vets office, lol. This will be my first dairy calving, so thanks for the enemas tip :)
Sounds like you have a deluxe vet box. Such a necessary kit to have on hand.
Absolutely love your videos! So real & informative! 😍💓
You can give the phosphorus enema IV for milk fever? It is sterile? I lost my cow last fall the day after calving. I treated her with a CMPK oral paste, and had a neighbor come give some IV. She got up and down several times, but died that night.. I wonder if she’d have benefitted by additional straight phosphorus…… I am determined to not let that happen again.
Yes you can give it to the cow for milk fever. It is what our vet recommended. I'm so sorry you had this happen. We have been in the same position and you feel very helpless. Best thing I've done is found a lot of mentors for help in the valley.
That purple sweater is gorgeous on you! :)
Thanks! My mom just brought it up for me.
Hope Clover gets better and happy Spring
You always save the backstrap and then forget and next season comes by and it's how have we not eaten this backstrap! Great video Kate.
You got that right!
So my dad would always use dry ginger and 7up or sprite for bloating or scours he always had a long necked pop bottle which he mixed in I know put glass in a cows mouth he was the pro also a shot of penicillin he used the same bottle for years must have put on the side somehow ??
old bottles much thicker glass
Could you please direct me to your baby formula recipe? (Assuming its available to share, no pressure if not) love your videos and family - thanks for posting!
Turn to the Lord when get discouraged. Let him be your rock. Read bible and pray is the best picker uper.
Thank you for showing your livestock supplies love the knowledge, I'm slowly building mine up!
Glad it was helpful!
How's the goat milk working for Amos. I hope it's treating him well.. prayers for clover. .. thanks for sharing with us.
He loves it!
I am currently watching all your videos as I juuuuust found your channel! Great idea for using a tool box. We will be bringing our two goat does on milk home in a month and I need to start a med kit. What would you say would be the most important meds and treatments to get right away? Bloat and milk fever? Or mastitis? My goats have kidded four and five weeks ago, and I am currently milling them once a day at their current farm. I have hoof trimmers, mastitis test kit, tums, iodine, molasses, etc but haven't bought actual meds yet. I am going to pick up some nutri-drench soon to have on hand.
Loved seeing your vet kit! I've never cared for dairy cattle, but have grown up raising/calving beef cattle my whole life (with dabbles of goats and sheep).
To me, your vet kit looks awesome! The only two additions I would suggest (and you may already have these) are a 5 ft cut of stiff garden hose. We've found that when we have a case of dry bloat, putting the hose down and working it a bit can let off a ton of air and give immediate comfort. If the frothy green comes out, then we know that a bloat medication is the only thing that will help.
The next is a medication (people have personal preferences on this and I don't believe it can be used in dairy cattle in the US) but Enrofloxacin (we use the Baytril version) is fantastic for any respiratory issue in cattle. We've been told by our vet to use it for cats and dogs also. We have a dog that has issues with bladder infections and it does wonders. Also with cats with URIs. It's a multi-animal medication that I really like to have around.
I guess I would also add iodine spray. We use it for calf navals after they are born, and any wounds or scrapes on cattle to try to dry them up.
I just recently found your channel and have been on a deep dive! Tons of information and recipes. Thank you ❤️
Oh i have a big jug of iodine!
ivermectinnnn great for covvvid problems. cant breath and then take some and can breath within 12 to 17 hours. Knocks covid out of slot oxygen molecules need. People medicine.
Being in Canada as well, where do you buy your bulk items from?
I shop online with Organic Matters, then our local health food store, Nature's Pantry and we also have a local wholesale store.
There is another source I haven't tried, but it's been recommended. It's called BC Bulk Foods
I made your strawberry ice cream like that yesterday...so good for a 38 week prego momma to "indulge" in!
Awesome
If you dont have hardware store buckets all over your house, are you even homesteading?
I had that happen with a French press before and burned my arm! 😬
Ouch!
Hi … also from BC. Where do you get your bulk buying?
We have a wholesale store in town. I also buy online from Organic Matters Food in Nelson.
Do you store dry instant potato flakes?
no
May I ask why you pulled the goat from it's mother to bottle feed?
Its really cold outside and hard to keep the baby warm enough outside with no where to have a heatlamp without a fire hazard
@@VenisonforDinner Makes sense. Thanks for the information.
❤😇
I thought you had only 1 child?
Surprise...we have 5 !
