***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

I watch Hoof GP over in Scotland and it is done differently but as my mother use to say there is more than one way to skin a cat.
How blessed are you to have such a knowledge vet in town!!! ❤
Yes we are
That was fascinating to this city gal. The vet did a fabulous job of explaining everything he was doing and why.
And city guy !
And another city gal! 🇨🇦🍁❤️
Wow! All the equipment that that vet clinic has is absolutely amazing! Farm veterinary clinics have advanced so far in one generation.
Thanks for sharing this adventure! What a wonderful vet! Love your attentive care of your animals!
Thanks for watching!
We have a method with 18-wheelers. Instead of saying the distance, do a vertical hand distance, and then there is a visual representation to the driver of how much distance is between the trailer back bumper and the loading dock. Just lower down the higher hand until you get both hands together - then do the military hand signal of clenched fist as "stop."
Babe did really well to have never been in a trailer before. What a great Vet you all have. Very interesting and informative. Babe is so good and calm. All the best to you all.
She is so sweet. ❤ I do love her! :)
Hollar Homestead just butchered their 2 year old jersey steer and they said it is the best beef they have ever had. They let the steer nurse until they sold their milk cow back in the summer. They believe that is why the meat is so good. That steer weighed 1300 lbs when they butchered it. Good milk makes good meat!
Yeah, that beef looked so good!
Yeah, I watched it, they were amazed at how delicious it was
You know what they say milk does a body good.
I've always heard that a skinny cow makes more milk instead of body weight.
Naturally
Few cows get treated this well.
Was worried something was wrong when I read the tag line. Lol. Glad it went so well.
Thank you for sharing this procedure it was so interesting. My granddaughter going to college to be a large animal veterinarian.
I watch "the hoof gp" on yt, he has a mobile crush for holding cows while trimming hooves, trust me, babe's feet looked amazing compared to some !
Very informative video, thanks for filming it al. 😊👍
Thank you for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it!
About 25 yrs. Ago, my husband had a vet and beef rancher come out because he thought I was starving my Jersey steer. I am so glad that your vet said what I learned when I was a child regarding the difference in the built of the breeds. Also a tidbit for those who may be feeding a bottle baby- to help prevent the scours from developing I added some powders oats to the formula/grain offered -adjust according to size but I started out with 2 ounces each feeding. I don’t comment often, but love your channel.
So glad you are smart enough to do preventative care. This saves so much 'everything ' in the long run.
I love how you take care of you beautiful animals!!.
Wow never saw anything like that. It was educational. Don't ever plan on having cows but you never know
Never say never!
You guys are good stewards of gods animals.
My orange kitty loves watching animal shows!! He was making
sure Babe was okay on the table. 🤭
Aww. ❤😊
Holy cow!! No pun intended. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Thank you! It would be fun to be a farm vet technician.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My friend who has a PhD learned to be a farrier (maintains horse's hooves). Go work with one and you can learn the trade. They need more workers!
Dr Mike is fabulous! He explains everything so clearly. What a blessing to have a vet like him. I am so glad he agreed to be filmed and share information with us. Hugs❤
This is a great vet! Thanks for taking the time to talk to the viewers and give us so much info!
Being together probably helped their stress level
Watching Nate the Hoof Guy trim a gazillion cows and the explanations/education he gives is impressive how much of this was very familiar. It is terrific that y’all have a vet that will do trimming. And it is so commendable that y’all are doing maintenance rather than fixing a problem
I like the respect this vet showed Babe and Ralphie. The animals are so trusting.
I hope that your Vet gets to see how many of us subscribers were impressed with him! He did a wonderful job of explaining everything as he went along. It was fascinating to learn some of the parts of a cow's hooves, the proper use of antibiotics, and the reasons for Trimming certain parts of the hooves! As someone who loves learning about these sorts of things, your Vet gets a AAA+ from me! You are Very lucky to have him, and his staff. Thank you for this video! I appreciated it. GOD bless
Don’t you just love it when a plan works out so well.
I thought I learned everything there was to know from the internet and channels like yours.....today was new ! Shout out to Dr Mike. He did an excellent job explaining and presenting on cam.
Hi Sarah and Kevin. Thank you for taking us along. And thank you Dr. Mike for explaining the ins and outs of cow pedicures!!
That reloading Babe and Ralphie went way better than I thought it would.
This was one of my favorite videos .thank you vet for me he is a great vet . Thanks again
Ralphie is such a little cutie. Such a brave boy 😂. Babe is a wonderful Mama too. My Jersey, Star, is an amazing cow too. I love her to pieces 🥰🧡 Lorie 😊
I was very impressed with Babe and her calf. First time in a trailer - impressive. Especially when you had the trouble you did getting her into the milking station....I guess all that work paid off. Thanks to Dr Mike for an excellent explanation and all the information he volunteered. Good job! Great video.
Can’t you just imagine the conversation between Babe and Ralphie on the way home?! Sooo Mom you won’t believe what they did to me!!! Oh Ralphie don’t be such a baby it was just a little hoof trimming nooo mommy those weren’t my hooves!!! 😂❤🙏🏻🇨🇦🍁
WOW you guys are so caring and educated about your animals. Thanks for taking us along. Glad they are so healthy.👍🏻❤️🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for taking such good care of your animals. I found it fascinating.
Your cows are so sweet and look how well they transport and let the vet do his thing!
Interesting. That is theee sweetest trusting cow ive ever seen..dr.mike is showing his kindness..thx
Great video, thanks for that. Nice of your vet to take the time to explain everything.
What a fantastic Vet you have!! None of the Vets in our area treat large animals. The closest for us is 2 hours away. That Vet is SUPER helpful over the phone, assisting us with issues we can head off with his knowledge. You are so so blessed to have such an amazing Vet!!!
Loved watching the vet trip. Having Horse's for many years I'm all to familiar with hoof problems. Glad all went well.
Yep
Fantastic video. Dr. Mike is a wonderful vet and all the people who work at his clinic are so knowledgeable.
I’m so glad you showed this. My granddaughter is a sophomore in high school and is interested in becoming a large animal vet. She had a school project where she was able to help out a large animal vet office and loved it. So, I have forwarded this video to her. You guys teach us so much. Thank you. Take care
Such a great video, your vet was a super great speaker and please thank them for us also.
poor ralfie ... and he was worried about putting an eye out with that thing ...
What a interesting trip to the vet; they were so informative & patient! Thanks for sharing! I’m sure this will help many people! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
This is a great video.
Your channel always provides so much good info for the "newbies".
Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very interesting although since I am 65 & live in an apartment in small town Oklahoma, I'm unsure what I'll ever do with this information. It's nice to have knowledge for knowledge sake. Thanks for broadening my horizons.
Small town vets are The Best! So patient and willing to listen and talk to you.
I used to live in Ava, can I just say that I love Dr Peters & the Animal Clinic of Ava, all their veterinarians are so wonderful & helpful with the animals & livestock. I enjoy your show, look forward to more of your adventures!
My 89+ yr old dad grew up Ava until 19. Then moved with his folks to the Greater KC area (1954)
💚 Wow, how cool to get to come along for the trip to the vet! Very informative, great vet, great facility and Babe and Ralphie did so well. 💚
Vet should start UA-cam channel. He is a great teacher.
First of all your vet Dr. Mike is amazing! So much great info and knowledge shared. Thank you so much! Second Babe did great with her first pedicure and trailer ride. Third Ralphie did so good too. Just over all with this video why you’re one of the best homesteading channels around! Thank you sharing your journey with us. God bless!
What a fabulous veterinarian (and Levi as well)!! Having a wonderful Vet (and staff) gives so much peace of mind!
I'm old and lived in cities and suburbs most of my life, but this was fascinating to watch even though I'll never be in the position of having to care for a dairy cow or calf. My late mother-in-law was a small-town vet who did all the things your vet does, and had a small ranch herself that I loved to visit. I've heard her mention some of the things the animals needed, but never had the opportunity to see actually how one trims a cow's hoof (and didn't know really why, either). Thanks to both of you and your vet (and technicians) for bringing something so informative to everyone. Babe and Ralphie are beautiful animals, and it's heartwarming to see the care that all of you give them.
A+ Good Vet Trip (!!) Let the Pro do the work .....
Loved this! And yes, no thanks to the mountain oysters. :)
We just had our cows’ feet trimmed yesterday. Our trimmer comes with a standing shoot that lifts each foot. It’s very interesting to see both methods side by side!
Thank you so much for that video. I have never seen that before. Very informative. No other homestead channel I watch has ever shown shown cow hoof maintenance. The veterinarian was very informative. I thank him for showing us and educating us on cow hooves. You guys are the BEST!
Enjoyed learning more about how they do these procedures. Vet seems like an awesome and caring person.
You are so good to your animals. You are the only homestead channel I watch and have since almost the beginning. God bless you and your endeavors.
Babe certainly deserves extra cow treats! What a good girl!
Thanks for this awesome trip to the Vet. Dr. Mike and his crews did a great job with your animals and explaining things as he went along. What a great relationship you have formed with Dr Mike. Sure glad everything turned out great for Babe and Ralphie. Stay safe and keep up the good work. Fred.
Y'all are seriously blessed to have such a knowledgeable vet when it comes to dairy cows. It's awesome to see! A lot of ours here in SC, along with the "old" dairymen, have retired or passed. The information lost is truly sad. A lot of these people knew more than most will ever learn.
how awesome, preventative care, great vet, and easy loaders! God bless you & your critters.
I was "asscoiated" with a dairy farm (high school boyfriend) in the 60's. In those years of helping out - I never learned as much as Dr. Mike and Levi taught us today. Very informative.....and I see TV series in their future (kidding), but he does explain things that so we all could understand. BTW - love the shade of "polish" that was applied.😁
Thank you for showing us this process.
I didn’t expect your vet to go into so much detail. Very interesting to learn about all this. Please thank him for taking the time to do this video for us to see. This is something I would have never seen otherwise. Much appreciated.
I watch other channels also but this one here had to be one of the smoothest transitions from farm to trailer in vice versa I've ever seen lol. What a good girl and baby
Indeed, sir! ☺️❤
Your vet is great! And Babe and Ralphie were so well-behaved too. It's obvious how much they trust you. Thank you for this happy and informative video.
Excellent informational content. It's a shame You Tube has restrictions that remove actual procedures that are so vital to animals or people. We all need to understand where our food really comes from and the things that have to happen to care for animals and prepare them for our consumption in a humane manner. It's part of life. Thanks.
I subscribe to The Hoof GP channel as well as yours. All he does is fix cows feet but he's got 2.1 million subscribers. Fascinating watching him tend to cows needs in Scotland.
When he was geinding away at the bottom, she was moving like she's ticklish!😂😂 I do that when I get a pedicure!
Hoof trimming is interesting. I watch “Hoof GP “
Stay warm here in MO
Colene😊
Check out Nate the Hoof Guy too. I like his videos, because it's less produced, and he really explains what's going on.
Great Vet!! Yay, Babe & Ralphy did amazing for a first time trailering. You never know if it's going to be a rodeo or not. Glad it was Not.😊
Awesome to see and have the doctor explain! Awesome stuff! Thank you guys and thanks doc and tech! Blessings to all!
Wow! That went so well. Good kids behaving themselves. Glad to see everyone is good. They really didnt seem stressed at all. God bless and stay safe. 🙏🏻💜
Love the video! First time milk cow owner and this was awesome information.
Oh my goodness Babe and Ralphie did so great! 🤎🐄 I enjoyed watching this video and thanks for the learning opportunity! God Bless!!🥰
The milk cow was amazingly calm on the rotating bed.
That went amazing. Those cows are so gentle.
Blessings, 😊💕🙏🏻🇨🇦
Ty. How great to wake up to a new LTH video. I love vet care!
I used to raise goats, for meat. My husband would band as i held them. Easy peasy
Poor baby , her ankles tied up for so long . Circulation being cut off so much longer than " normal" cuz of the explanation . Love the vet and everything just be aware of how long the Circulation is constricted. 🐂
What a great vet! Great education with compassion
that has to be the sweetest cow ever!!! never seen one hop in a trailer so nice.
Love the way you have chosen to educate with your videos.❤
I was really surprised how smoothly that went. I was expecting the animals to be more stressed from the unusual handling. It is nice to see how patient you are - unlike some farmers who would just rush the animals through the process by using electrical prods.
What an ordeal! This was very interesting! Thank you for sharing and give Babe a treat. Ralphie too! I love both Babe and Ralphie.
now I want a pedicure, he did a wonderful job
lol
I hope the vet clinic is able to serve each large animal in such a manner. It would make the vet visit better for each animal.
That was so cool. Thanks for bringing us along with you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey does anyone watch Hoof GP is there a service available in your area who comes to do all the cows hooves on your property at once. Maybe less stressful on the animal. Love your cows 🐄 ❤
Interesting,and the cows wasn’t scared ,they just were so kool. God bless
Congrats on 800k!!
Cletus?
Okay, I guess that’s the steer you held to grow out. He’s a good looking fella, what a blessing!
You two do so much to educate your followers. Thanks!
This video was fantastic. I learned so much I did not know.
I would welcome any videos like this.
Thanks for sharing!
Many of us do want to see the procedures. Maybe you could just give a warning and that would keep
everyone happy 😁🐄
And a ramp would make getting off and on the trailer...
Thank you! This was so educational! I wish you could video tape the entire procedure and post it on your website with a caution for educational purposes. I found this fascinating and learned SO much! Thank you! And it looks like Babe benefited from her "pedicure"! Did you notice her walking slightly differently once she got back home? Wonderful! Thank you again, so much! Kudos to the Ava Vets! So professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
Very good video! These farm adventures are rarely, if ever, seen. This shows the real world, and this is what you need to be aware of when you want to take on the homestead challenge. I actually saw a comment, yesterday, - yikes?? ( paraphrased)- "We just bought a homestead, and I just purchased MY VERY FIRST SEEDS and am excited about learning how to grow a garden." I do wish them all the best!
