    Wow, I had forgot all about molasses. In the 1950's while visiting my grandparents dairy farm my grandmother sent me out to the barn to get some molasses that was stored in old milk cans. That evening she surprised me after dinner with her homemade molasses cookies - what a treat! My grandfather was a big believer in a small amount molasses mixed in with the daily food for his registered holstein cows during the winter. Your videos bring back many great memories - thanks.

    • @jimmiller6364
      @jimmiller6364 Рік тому +2

      @@chris3m98 They are much easier to work with due to their disposition and size. Also they are ideal for small acreage farms. Our farm is 70 acres with about 40 acres of pasture. I can run twice as many Dexters as I could Angus. Their meat is 4 star in taste. I sell it as fast as I get it. I also crossed breed my Dexter Bull with an Angus heifer and a Charolais heifer for my customers who want a larger quantity of meat. also they are great for new farmers because they are really easy to work with. Hope that helps..take care

    Always loved the smell of molasses. My dad would sometimes buy feed with it mixed in. And long ago when the snow was clean, you could drizzle molasses over the snow as a treat for yourself. The snow was beautiful. We have gotten little here this year in Mid Michigan and it tends to not stay on the ground for long.

    My first memory of molasses is as a young kid we had hogs. To fatten them up had a 55 gallon drum of crude molasses. Mix with grain and feed. Smelled so good I went to the house and got a small bowl and mixed me some. Dad was gone. When he hot home and saw what I was doing let’s just say he wasn’t happy. Not because I was eating crude molasses and grain and get sick but because I was taking valuable feed from the hogs. Funny later but a long ways from that at the time.
