  • There's nothing more romantic than a date night in the milking parlor.
    2nd cutting hay is ready, but the weather doesn't cooperate with our schedule, so we take another route and make silage bales using a bale wrapper.
    Thanks for watching!

    Its always is amazing to me how the dairy cows know how too walk into the stall and get milked. Hard work you folks. Thank you❤

      When dairy farms were smaller and all the cows came in the barn at once to be fed and milked, each cow had their stall and the would go to the right one every time. The cow herd had a boss cow and she was usually the first one to come in.

    Thank you for what you do, In my county in central VA we only have one dairy farm left, and it has been mid 90's plus for over a month and no rain! Corn and hay fields are burt up, most farms are already feeding hay and buying hay!!

    Wrapping bales makes good sense rather than starting a small bunk area for one field. Did you see where 10th Generation Dairymen has built 3 silos and is getting away from bunkers.? The purpose is for more automated feed system

    My youngest son and I just finished our first cutting. We'll have a second cut in a couple of months, hopefully we can get a decent amount. My wife and I made our chicken run out of cattle panels, we do have a few smaller chickens that can fly out, most don't. There's a farmer about 6 miles or so down from my mom's place that uses a line wrapper, does round bales with his. Once again you've got some cute calves. Enjoyed watching, thanks and have a good evening!

    Hi Ronda. I never knew that you wrapped the Square Bales. I’ve seen Round Bales that were wrapped but the video was so informative and was so interesting I guess because of all the great weather you are running out of room to store the bakes which is very good
    All the Moon Moos look good and healthy. Keep up the great work

    It's been a pretty humid and damp summer here so far in the north east. I don't know if we're stuck in this weather pattern now or what but it seems like the last few years it's been slightly tropical around here makes it hard to make good hay or get anything done for that matter. Regardless though things are looking good over there in Michigan happy Sunday!

    Too much hay is a good problem to have. The corn behind the rows of wrapped hay is looking good. A couple of videos ago you showed one of Sander's bunnies that had escaped, did anyone ever catch it? We had at least 2 1/2 inches of rain this week and the rivers are all up, not severely though. I've got a 15 1/2 lb turkey in the oven roasting for Sunday dinner. Have a blessed week and stay safe.
