    When you started to tell the cows to git because they weren't the ones you wanted, crackerjack was "you don't have to tell me twice".
    Enjoyed the video.

    I hear what your saying about the slippery conditions and cows falling! Certainly you have it worse than we do, but several years ago we had that happen to one of our cows. Not easy getting those three separated, but you did pretty good, being by yourself. Good to see you getting things done before the really nasty weather, thanks Mike. Have a goodnight and Friday.

      I'm just thinking if it was already there, no extra work needed. Obviously, if your panels don't have them you would have to improvise.

    • @MrTinks01
      @MrTinks01 Рік тому

      and how do you justify the increased cost of manufacture for each and every panel? A cost that will be past on (with a profit) with each panel.... Not worth it to me.

    After seeing the frost and the cold water tank. A nice bowl of hot potato soup sounds good. Or a hearty soup/stew.
    I started doing hydroponics. I live in an apt here in covington ky. No outdoor porch or anything. I'm vegetarian so if I can grow my own crops. I can do it in a small space. For my birthday I got a hydroponic system off Amazon. I love it. It would be cool if I had the space like Erin does. But I don't. At least I can grow all year round.
    It's OK by the way to make mistakes. We are not perfect. The point is do you learn from your mistakes. If you don't then that is a problem. At least it is a small problem that's easily fixed.

    Question....I am not a farmer ...is the milk of your cows is the same of a milking cow...thank you for making me smarter.....

    • @californiadreamer2580
      @californiadreamer2580 Рік тому +3

      Milking cows are generally from dairy breeds, like Holsteins, which have been bred for higher milk production and higher butterfat content in the milk. Beef breeds like Angus are generally bred for meat production, at the expense of milk production. Generally, a beef cow only produces enough milk to feed her calf, and it likely has less butterfat content. It's still cow milk . Some breeds of cattle are "dual purpose", meaning they can be used for both milk and beef production.

      Glad you enjoy the videos. We dont need to trim the cows hoofs here. The cows are not on concrete, but 100% of the time are on pasture. Our ground here is very sandy witch acts like a natural nail file. Thus when they are walking the hooves wear down on there own, and do not require and intervention.
