- In this latest episode #33 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac shows the tiny milking barn he built and outfitted for milking his cow. If you need a small livestock shed or barn for your small farm or homestead, the one shown here is a great solution...and can make the tedious daily chore of miking your cow or goat more pleasant! For even more details on how to construct a barn like this, check out these other episodes:
"Building a Simple Shed" ( • Building a Simple Shed... )
"Building a Tiny Barn" ( • Building a Tiny Barn -... )
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books (like Pa Mac's "Building an Old-fashioned Pole Barn") or DVD's by Pa Mac at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)

Thank you for your support! - Навчання та стиль
These type videos are so soothing.
You’re like a solo “Red Green Show”. Fan-Freaking tasting! Glad I found ya old timer.
Just goes to show you that you don't need an expensive barn to milk and protect your cows. Great video as usual, have a great weekend everyone.
Thank you for all your content! It helped me build my own pole barn singlehandedly. I am now even milling my own lumber thanks to you bud!
I hope the future is packed with animals
Tulip will enjoy being out of the weather and so will you.
While you were sitting there at the end. I could see the wheels a turning for something new.
Another interesting and amusing video 👍🇬🇧
It ain't gotta be perfect,its just gotta be. Looks good,should serve ya'll well.
Nice Moooooooove........
So glad I found your channel. You rock
What a nice way to start a day. Thank you! I will hold that positive vibe through my morning hours for sure!
laughed at the lightning while milking pretty hard
Great job Pa, sure works out nice for you all. Thanks for sharing with us and taking us along with you. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
You have been a big inspiration and I share your material often! I am building on 45 acres. I have a camper, I am building a barn with the method you taught me (third time I used the method), and I am building a cabin! God bless. :)
You just made my day, Pa Mac!
Man, you got me lol. Loved the beginning. ☺️🌎💫
Thank you for watchin', Dean
Another good one Pa Mac🍀🙏😊
pa mac i need you to know i find your channel the most valuable on youtube. i follow all the big ones and our "homestead" looks like all the videos you do. if there was a way to say thank you let me know what way you prefer!!!!
Thank you, Karl; I'm so glad you've enjoyed the show!
Planning my lunch break at work and bam, I know what I'm doing now.
Entertaining as always, I liked the lightning special effects too :)
Thanks for the new video and idey for our milking and shearing shed🤣 that lightening cracked me up
Nice big handles, especially for a Jersey.
I love your work. Very inspiring
Tulip is so adorable!💕 Oh-- love the video, too, as usual!
Wonderful as usual..can hardly wait for the next project. Have a productive summer.
I love this channel
Thank you, Jennifer
I'm collecting materials to make a tiny milking barn. I will be using your design with a wall where the cow feed trough is to keep her head out of the rain. My current milking station is 4'x8' just four posts with a tin roof. The cow stays dry, but not me. Thanks for the inspiration.
👏👏👏👏 I like the way that looks
God bless
50k marvelous
Love it
Awesome video as Always! This Summer i'm going to Transform my barn in a Little chicken coop. Cheers.
Hey Pa thanks
Enjoyed the show
Why do you separate the calf from the momma cow during the night?
Pa Mac, you should get a framing hammer for driving big nails. It's loads easier.
Thanks for the awesome content!
So happy to see the vid!
On my lunch break! What could be better?
I get back from a week of work at my managed forest to a new video by farmhandscompanion is such a nice cap to a lovely day. God Bless.
My grandma got knocked down by lightning when she went to drive the cows home. she was okay.
Normally the cows came home themselves, but some days they would cross a creek, find new grass, and keep eating. They would march obediently into straight stalls. We didnt have stanchions.
I was just thinkin its about time for another video. I just uploaded a video of my newest project. Gonna build a garage here on the homestead. Maybe start my own business.
God bless Pa Mac.
Great special effects. Another awesome episode. My daughter and I loved it. Thank you
How did you know this is just what l needed. Thanks will sure cheer everyone up. Sure will me .
Building a tiny milk barn
Always great videos.
That opening shot haha ! Had a similar experience just today, getting the neighbors cows in and fixing fence in the rain...
Be careful. You can indeed get hit by lightning, and along a barbed wire fence?
Great video as always
Great series. Makes me want to start farming.
That's pretty much my goal, Craig. Thank you for watchin'!
@@farmhandscompanion Well, I cleared an area 100' x 20' to get started. Now I need to break up the ground, add some good top soil and seaweed and plant :)
@@craigglewis How is the ol' farm coming along? Overgrown with weeds?
As I've spent my youth milking Jersey cows, I wonder, why You use kick-stoppers. They are so calm and easy :)
To keep 'em from accidentally knockin' the milk bucket over when they raise and lower their back legs at flies.
@@farmhandscompanion thank you. I do understand why you use them as function, I am surpriced, that you need them. It depends on flies in your region, I suppose. :)
My wife’s nickname is also Tulip

Are those roundhouse bibs??
Love your videos. How do you know how wide to make the space between center board and end board to hold the cow’s head
My adult cows' necks are about 7 inches wide (their heads are much wider). So at the bottom of both boards I make sure the distance is no greater than 7 inches; and at the top the "stop nail" can be driven so that the width can end up bein' a bit less than 7 inches. The chain that's used to fasten the stanchion becomes an "adjustable" device. If you have a fatter cow neck, just use the chain links that make the opening a tad wider. If you have a smaller cow, heifer, or even a calf, you can fasten the chain so that the board goes all the way to the stop nail.
How many lbs of hay does tulip go through a day? Or if you feed round bales, how fast does she and your bull go through one of those??
About 2 weeks (give or take) for 'em to go through one round bale
@@farmhandscompanion thanks!
Do you have a video on your chainsaw-mill rig? I'd love to cut some of my trees into lumber without buying a sawmill.
Yes I do, Andrew!
Pa Mac is the reason I got my chainsaw mill! It all paid off last weekend when we used some of the red oak I milled over the winter for a chicken run.
Thank you Pa Mac, you are an inspiration to many!
I’m curious where the mom stays if you have the calf in this barn overnight…is she just outside or you have another barn?
She's in the same pasture that she has access to during the day. Thanks for askin', chicajato
Thx! Your videos are so informative and such a delight to watch!!
You betcha, chicajato!
Hiya
So’s who is the jack wagon that put a thumbs down? How and why?????
come back!
Great videos, looks amazing and honestly am kinda jealous. Yet i find the music very annoying. If i can give you a tip, get rid of the music and maybe do a voice over instead where you tell us what you're doing. Makes it a more calming and edicational video. Good day to you.
I like the music, keeps me focused? Take a vote?! The drawings crack me up, funny.
Hopefully you never need them kickers,hated milking a cow in kicker cause you knew she was gonna try you.
What is a kickstop?
Is the stanchion also a kickstop? Hopefully i get a non-kicker cow.

I really like to see the projects you're doing and been watching for quite a while but do not like the text over video format. I'd rather hear you narrate what you're doing. Heres why.
I'm watching the video to pay attention to what you're doing, then I get distracted by the text, telling another important piece of information. Then I have to pause or rewind to catch it all. At the same time, my audio sense is being wasted on music instead of being able to absorb the audio and visual simultaneously.
Like I said, I really like your projects but it makes to difficult to take in 2 visual parts at that same time. Thanks for sharing your work.
