- The calves got out! To my surprise this morning a few of our heifers were not where they belong. After fixing that issue we continue on with a nice morning of chores on the dairy farm. We check on the twins, clean the barns, and make sure everyone is happy and fed. Thank you all for watching! Let us know your favorite breed of cow down in the comments!

I’m Jasper’s Mom and he was sooo excited to hear you got his letter!! Thank you so much for making his day!! Both my boys will be getting Gierok hats for Christmas too!
yes
My hat has arrived but I’m waiting for Christmas before I paint the town.
Farm Journal used to have the "Ada the Ayrshire" comic. My favorite was probably an image of woven wire fence with round holes in it, and the caption said "Cattle don't really sleep, they are to busy testing your fences". If they CAN get out, they WILL get out! Great video, been there, done that!
My family up in northern Pennsylvania are still milking over 200 head of Holstein cows. The farm was just awarded "Bi-centenial" farm. The farm has been in the family over 200 hundred years.
Best part - St. Bernard drinking out of the waterer.
Oh yes! We even gotten a phone calls over the years from our neighbor saying YOUR CATTLE IS OUT!
I hate it when that happens to cows and calves love to test our patience and make us work more
Funny about the leaves for bedding. We used newsprint from a local paper before they started recycling ♻️ it in the 90s. We used a round bale shredder to blow it into these talls.. Then, we had a potpourri packaging plant that supplied us for a short time. We had the best smelling Holsteins in the state of Ohio!😂
My favorites in order are Ayrshire, Holstein, short horn and Jersey. Love the videos, I don't comment much anymore but I'm still watching.
You don't often make videos of a typical day or chores, but often those are most interesting, just to get a since of what you do most days, how it differs from other farms. I know if you showed more you'd be afraid of the content getting too stale, and you probably want to get most of them done without filming, but it can be nice just to see from this video to the next chores video, how much stays the same and all. It's certainly not something I'd get bored of seeing. :)
The new calf's are growing fast
Brown swiss are my favorite. That calf definitely has some Jersey in it.
We used to milk Browns and Jerseys 5 each by hand.
That is a wonderful dog with a glorious feathered tail!
My favorite breed has always been milking shorthorn
Thank you for showing the dairy & dairy-cows with the twin calves. Nice well-fed calves. Good farm vibes.😊😊
I think that calf is a Jersey. My favorite, Brown Swiss.
Brown Swiss . Beautiful animals. The cows are very protective mothers
My favorite cattle breeds are Buelingo and Angus
Jersey and Ayrshire are my favorite breed
And the Brown Swiss twins are so cute 🥰
There’s something about hand feeding cows that always made me smile. It’s satisfying in some way. Thanks for sharing!
My husband and I catch all of your videos soon after they are posted and very much enjoy all of them. In response to your question regarding favorite cattle breed; We raise a herd of 25 Belted Galloway cattle (Oreo cookie cows 😊) and love them dearly. They are smaller stature than some cattle breeds, polled, very gentle, easy to handle, thrifty and great mothers. All the best from your Canadian neighbors.
Guernsey for dairy Red Angus for beef.
Isnt that the way it works!!! If you wanted them to go up that alley, they would do everything they could to AVOID it!!! LOL.
Hey really appreciate the video always enjoy watching videos about farmers and farming brings back a lot of precious memories thanks
I liked the hilarious part where the cow was licking the camera at 2:29.
I grew up on a dairy farm, your hilly ground reminds me of it alot. It was the highest point in our county and usually referred to as the hill. The place was bordered on the north by a state highway and on the east by the Sac River with 20 to 30 feet of limestone bluff above the river keeping the cattle from getting out was always important so they didn't get on the highway, or get onto the bluff. Once a cowboy on the bluff and fell in a crevasse with only her back visible. It is no easy thing to block and tackle a live cow out of a tight spot. Another time a full term cow fell off the bluff and was badly injured. She delivered the calf while down and we built her a nest and cared for her there at the base of the bluff. After a couple of weeks she was improving and trying to get up so it was time to try moving her. We built a skid and dragged her onto it, built a raft and used our DC Case belly deep in river, luckily it was a rocky bottom and a sand bar where we could get in on the far side. We dragged the skid onto the raft, then towed it across the river and up the sloped bank onto our neighbors farm. Once there with some help she was able to get up. We got her home and she recovered fully. Her calf survived too and went into the dairy herd later. Nobody had front end loaders on tractors then so everything was done by land or with poles for levers. We had Jerseys on the dairy, with milking short horns and other breeds added one cow here, one cow there but the herd was 99% Jersey. They are my favorite both for looks and that butter fat for rich milk, cream and home churned butter. We had beef cows on other property stretched down the highway across the county line, mostly Herefords and some Angus but we preferred Jersey for our home beef. That yellow fat isn't as pretty but when you cook steak or roast you can cut it with a fork. On a side note, having all our cows on highway frontage we hadca car through one of the fences about once a month. I have seen a lot of red speckled Normandie cattle, but see some specked jerseys.
The calf looks like an Ayrshire cross because I don't see any red coloration. Great video. Always perfect. Thanks so much.
Twins are looking really good as well as the rest of the calves . Love those bells , What a veiw . Favorite breed ? Herford .😂
THANK YOU FOR SHARING. WATCHING YOU AND YOUR FATHER REMINDS ME OF MY MANY REWARDING DAYS WORKING ON MY GRANDFATHERS DAIRY FARM. HE ALSO HAD A MIX OF HOLSTEINS AND SWISS.
My favorite is the Montbéliarde cow. More duel purpose. Also excellent to crois with HF
Many years ago, my cows got out and were walking on the ice of the frozen river. Every time I got them close to shore, the ice would crack and scare them away from the shoreline. After an hour of chasing, I had to take my jacket off due to overheatin, and hung it from a branch on the shoreline. Wouldn't yah know, those curious critters just walked off the ice sniffing at that jacket, while I just watched in total disbelief!
That calf looks like a cross between a jersey and Holstein. My favorite is the brown swiss. I like their coloring
This was a really good video, love your channel.
You know what's the story on the silo? Noticed it looked liked it was added on to at some point from the 2 sets of white blocks. Such a beautiful farm. Be fun working on that farm
I really enjoy all your dairy farm videos.
I watch each video again, this time with the closed caption option turned on. It's funny
to see how the closed caption sometimes differs from what you actually say.
Here's my favorite from this video. You said: "What's your favorite breed of cow?"
Closed caption said: "What's your favorite burrito cow?"
That's funny!
That calf definitely has the Normandy markings for sure. But it might be jersey and Holstein also. Great videos. God bless
I’ve spent many hours behind wheelbarrows
Grandpa rose black angus so I'm all in on black angus
My whole herd was out in the middle of the road one night , heard an air horn, and got up to see what was going on, and I found out what was going on!! They somehow got the gate down! hey, that's cheating! I use to have to fork out of a silo for 120- 90 in the barn, and 30 switch, and fork it in a wheelbarrow , one load to 4 cows! love your channel!
Jersey are my favorites. Love those kitties❤
I like how you and your dad take care of your cows and crops. Did you get my letter yet this is Craig Arbet?
I always was a Holstein guy, Started with mostly grades and then about three years later started switching my grades to Registered as my kids were getting to 4-H age and wanted them to feel good about their show animals and they were rewarded with some fine wins and showmanship awards.
We always had Holsteins. We milked around 80 head all together with young stock kept around 120 head and farmed around 400 acres. Lots of hard never ending work but its a good way of life being your own boss.
Jersey's and Red Angus
Brown Swiss milking shorthorn
We milked around 40 Holstein, Jersey and a Blue roan or 2 but my favorite cow is the Pinzgauer. We now raise beef and use Pinzgauer mixed with Dexter and Hereford bulls
Thank you for another great video. Awesome looking calves 👍👍🍻
My favorite cows are Guernsey. I worked on a Guernsey farm for 14 years. I also had holsteins. My family on my father's side had one of the top jersey herds in the state of Vermont.
always have like the Brown Swiss, maybe the calf has a little Ayrshire
Great looking cattle. Everyone in family and farm I spent every summer on were all Holstein. So I'd that is my favorite. Cattle are worse than kids when it comes to getting in trouble. LoL Thank you for taking the time to share part of your life with us.
That newest calf has quite a face. My favorites are Herefords with their curly heads.
MY FAVORITE IS WHEN YOU WORK WITH the Cows. What are your plans for the twins? ❤❤❤❤❤LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos……..
An absolut nice video . Regards from germany
My favorite breed is Holsteins!!
Had Jersey's @ the very small dairy farm in my youth, got to have that butter fat. Tillamook dairy on the northern Oregon coast has a lot of Jerseys.
This channel sure has grown this year. You're coming up on 50K. Good Job!
When I was little we had a mix of Jersey, Ayrshire, Holstein and mixed breeds. When a teenager we were transitioning to all Holstein. We bought about a half dozen registered Holstein calves all from different farms. Never followed up on the breed registry.
Are stalls were made for Jerseys and the Holsteins didn't fit. We modified the stalls and lost 1 stall in every 10.
I would have rather stayed with Jerseys myself.
I'm sure what the calf . Favorite bread is Guernseys.
Really nice to see a small family dairy where all family members get along Was not so when I was growing up on a family dairy farm You guys are doing a great job!
I always thought Ayrshires were pretty. I like Scottish highlanders too
I like Santa Gertrudas cattle
I I always liked Herefords you have beautiful cows
Hello enjoyed your video. I like a white face cow. Lots of work well done your cows are well cared for. Have a good day.
Galloway are my favorite, and only as of about a year ago, I found a good deal on a cow calf pair, and momma was bred too, so now I got three of them. Don't totally know what it is, I just like em!
Hi, how are you doing tonight? I like your cows 🐄🐄🐄🐃🐃🐂🐂🐂and calefs and bulls and chickens 🐔 🐔🐔🐓🐓🐓 and your dogs 🐕 🐕are cute
Favorite Fleckvieh but never had brown swiss
We raised white faced Herefords on our farm. I still love them over black angus. That was what we raised for baby beef. For milking we had Holsteins. My favourites are white faced Herford's and Holstiens.
from northern ny up by canada logged for years partial to white face cattle raised quite a few
Jersey cows because they have cute faces.
50 k subscribers! Let’s gooooooooo!
You sure have a beautiful farm
And great looking livestock.
This is one of your best videos
Not many farm like yours
Especially the area i live in
Southern Michigan.
This is the problem with our country, not enough TRUE family farms. Lots of work, but what a great farm you have.
Normande calf and I'm a guernsey guy through and through
No shortage of exercise feeding silage with the wheelbarrows. Your animals are a contented easy handling bunch!!! The calves sure like the extra attention.
the cal,f looks like a gernsey which is my favorite milk cow. favorite meat cow would be charloise (sp??). haven't worked a farm for many years so until have lost touch until i started watching you guys
Love the daily chore videos, more please
Milking shorthorn is my favorite breed
We used to have Jersey and Guernsey cows and some Brown Swiss. I think my favourite was the Guernseys. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
For milk I like Jerseys, beef black angus. When we had our dairy farm in PA we had black and red Holsteins.
I have hiefer that is 1/8 jersey- 7/8 holstein that has the same markings as your bull calf. Holsteins favorite here,but l I do like the ones with a little jersey mixed in.
Jersey is my favorite
I was most partial to Holsteins in my dairy days. I was pretty fond of the Jerseys as well although they seem to have required extra care around calving time. Raising beef now and really like my red angus.
Brown swiss
I bet the calf is a normande we got some normandes that look like that one. Favorite breed would have to red and white Holstein with lineback in 2nd place. For beef either speckled park or pinzgauer.
Fabulous share, really enjoyed it. I guess your bull calf has a bit of Jersey in him. They throw speckles and brindle when crossed on holstien. The Normandy would normally show a broader head and a dished face. Take care!.
TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GUY'S 😊
Great job you guys. I enjoy watching your videos. I’m just over in northern lower Michigan on the west coast. I must say the twins are really cute!! It was funny to see them question River! They will learn their place AFTER they learn how to separate from mom. lol. Oh and it was funny to see how the cows play with the camera lol. Well keep up the good work and Happy belated Thanksgiving and early Merry Christmas
Michigan is pretty isn't it. We have been up there a few times, but reside in the middle of the state.
Texas longhorn is my fav.
I remember coming to milk on Christmas Eve the third milking of the day to find 80 cows out. Of course it was raining and 30 something degrees and to add to the fun I had no help. I'm kinda liking the HoJo cows we've freshened. They are bigger than a Jersey smaller than a Holstein and really put together nice.
Black Angus is my mainly my beef herd, also have few herefords, and simintal. Located in New Hampshire
My favorite is Holstein and my husband's favorite is Brown Swiss!
Aw come on the girls decided to go town for a girls night out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite is jersey cows never owned many just like coloring cows at your place have it made you take such good care of them and they take care of you just like God ment it to be love your farm
Great video. I was wondering how you all were taking feed from the yard silage pile. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite cows 🐄 are Ayrshire and jerseys and line back cows 🐄 .
Good to see that you re taking very good care of your critters. Growing up on a small farm, my job was to take care of the calves.
My favorite breed is Ayrshires followed closely by Brown Swiss. My guess on the calf is Holstein Milking Shorthorn cross.
Great to see you guys
Another great video so funny I never thought of all the times the cattle got out whether it was calf up to whole herd you guys make great videos and bring back so many memories always like Guernsey’s and Ayrshire but I had all the dairy breeds when I milked cows!
