The Milk Cow, Part 1 - The FHC Show, ep 34
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In this latest episode #34 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac gives a brief overview of the milk cow, its place in the history of the small farm or homestead in the southern United States, and its many benefits to the small farm today: dairy uses like fresh milk, butter, and buttermilk, draft power, manure for soil building, replacement calves, and land clearing.
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.farmhandsco... 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.farmhandsco...)

Thank you for your support!
Thank God for all the old church ladies who faithfully teach the younger generations the Good News in VBS!
That's a fine memorial to your family and relations with the fine ladies that gave you drinks and homemade cookies that wrinkle your brain . Great video 👍🇬🇧
I really missed seeing you and your channel. So glad you're back with us and hope everything is well for you and yours.
We're all good, Roger. Thank you so much!
Wow, that memorial to those women at the end touched a nerve here. How lucky to have been able to known some of the last of an era!! Those women likely forgot on the average year more than I'll ever know
We love our milk cow and her heifer. Its all we can have on our 5 acres but the deep bedding in the winter goes to the Garden mixed with Chicken manure. What a game changer. In the end Everything makes money on this farm but the cow, but shes family now and i can no longer deal with store bought milk or ice cream.
What a great channel this is. Historically interesting, relevant, and lots of useful how-tos, all presented in an interesting and unique way.
Thanks for all the great content. It's been very useful and motivating as a beginner homesteader. My old man is into all the old stuff in a similar way to you. Good for these things to be archived on the internet.
Thanks for watchin', Dominic
It's always the 'little old ladies' that have the best recipes!
Very true. Thanks for watchin', SAO!
I appreciate the Andrew Lytle-esq craftsmen ship of your videos.
I missed this channel so much! I'm a single father and I am planning to start a farm soon. As soon as I can build a little place for my son and I to live, we already have the land. It fills my heart with so much joy just to dream of living this way, the natural way. I'm ready to get to work already! In the meantime, I'll just watch you work for a while.
Oh. That is so sweet. Those great ladies and the Blevins family are probably so proud you shared your memories of them. Now everyone who sees your video can think of them too if they make their own butter and cream.
This video was the best christmas present i got this year
You must not make us wait so long!!! ❤️
I go back and rewatch your videos all the time. I have dairy sheep now but have caught milk cow fever again. Hoping I can eventually get my property set up for a couple of cows
Love the history references and old photos!
Hope y'all are doin' well! Merry Christmas
Great video. I keep 2 cows; one "milcher" and one "beefer". I breed them both to angus every year, raise the calves for sale and beef. I also cut my own hay, which takes a good deal of time in the summer.
Oh my goodness - you have no idea how glad I am you are back! We followed our guts and sold everything for a homestead life (inspired by your techniques) and we have TWO milk cows and are only 4 months into homesteading.... Thank you for making content, God bless and merry Christmas
Thank you so much for watchin', Dustin!
Your videos are always good news, putting a smile on my face for long after it ends. So fun to 'share' your videos. God bless you!
Thank you, so much Elizabeth-for watchin' and sharin'
Glad to see another video, keep them comin
Oh my goodness we love our sweet little Jersey for all the same reasons!! She gives back way more than she takes and is a part of our family. Thank you for the wonderful video! Looking forward to more🤗
Glad to see you back!
Loved the video. Just moved onto our homestead 4 weeks ago. Looking forward to owning our first milk cow.
Christmas came early this year. Another great video from Pa Mac.
Merry Christmas, and happy holidays, Dakota. Thanks for watchin'!!
I just love the ways of the past......love your channel and your way of life. 💖😉👍
Alabama is a huge fan. I can tell you. Theres nothing in this world like fresh butter an that prize butter milk. After drinking that the store bought stuff just doesn't make it. Merry Christmas to you an your family. And may God bless you an keep you safe.
A big Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bobby!
I remember vacation Bible schools just like yours, same kool-ade, same little cookies, same sweet little Grannies. But we must have been a rich congregation because we had real paper plates! Thanks for the trip down memory lane🐝🤗❤️
Our ladies were real frugal. We should've been more thankful for the paper towels, now that I'm thinkin' about it. Thanks for watchin', Deborah
Almost fainted waiting for the next Farmhand's Companion episode...Oh My! you released it just in time!!!🥴
So you almost had an episode waitin' for an episode. I'll try and be more timely. Thanks for watchin', Breath of Home'!
Brilliant as always, still the best channel on you tube. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Kevin
Yeah, buddy! The Germany crew wishes y'all a belated merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The boys were excited to hear this music start. Your little shed video inspired them...I caught their tiny butts outside sawing up some cedar tops and snitching rusty tin from my stack to build a firewood shed. I never said a word...just let em go. 😂 They did a fine job.
Thanks for the video, sir.
I’m so impressed with how you’ve kept and organized all those photos. I don’t even do that well with kids’ pictures.
I really don't have an explanation for why it's easier to organize pictures and videos of manure than it is kid's photos, Bret. Thanks for watchin'!
I always enjoy your music, glad to see you are still at it!
Always a pleasure!
Thanks its great to see you again. Missed you a lot...
Thank you, Danie.
YES! A new video I love this channel
What a lovely tribute!
Keep them coming….😃
Thanks for watchin', Helen.
What a lovely video! Very interested in seeing more about training cattle to carry heavy loads/do landwork
Me too. We'll try to do that some day. Thanks for watchin', Nienke x
Me too. We'll try to do that some day. Thanks for watchi
I'm almost giddy when I see you've posted another video. You bring back my childhood also, vacation bible school, colored drinks, the store bought and HOMEMADE cookies. And the older (Matriarch) church ladies. I was raised on cows and powered milk along with the wonderful butter cookies ... Thank you for another GREAT video (memory).
I get teary when I think of those ladies. Thanks for watchin', David!
Been waiting on this,will have to get down there and see your store. God bless y'all, from ARKANSAS Rob
Look forward to seein' you, Rob. Come on down
Merry Christmas All.......
This video is a great Christmas gift to us. Thank you from Central Arkansas.
Merry Christmas, cuban9splat!
Awesome revelation, first VBS then the secret of the great tasting cookies. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, Fred. Merry Christmas!
A work of art ! Light hearted, warm and memorable. Thanks
Love this channel! Fuels my dreams

Thank you, Chris. Merry Christmas, buddy!
Thanks Pa Mac! As always, I learned something new
Good to see you again Pa! Great content as always. Best ‘round.
Love your videos please keep them coming
Makes my day
Sure will, James. Thanks for watchin'!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Pa Mac! This sandy clay coastal soil in my garden sure would be better off if I had a cow grace it with some gifts… that is some wonderful stuff. Granny always said it wouldn’t burn plants.
You are a great story teller.
So good to see you're back. Wishing all the best to You and Yours.
Thanks again for making these. They are wonderful!
I'm so glad you like them, Douglas!
WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this with us all. I find it to be very inspirational. Ive had some spare time recently and have been working on a model of your barn. I hope to have it done in a few weeks.
Send us a photo or two of the barn, Josiah. Thanks for watchin'!
Another great glimpse into farm history. Thanks!
Aw...it's over already? I love your milk cow, she's so beautiful, and so is her baby!!! I've heard that Jersey's can be ornery, I'd still get one! I pay $16.00/gal for raw Jersey cow milk here in So.Cal. and it's worth every penny!
Wow. I charge 5. Tulip thinks I should go up. Thank you for watchin', TheBereangirl!
Great video
Thank y'all so much. I'll have to summon down those bagpipes.
I love when a new video comes out! And now want that cookie recipe. What kind of cookie was it?
Love fresh milk and everything made from it. I’ve got a few dairy goats and use them much the same way lol.
Merry Christmas, Pa Mac
Merry Christmas to you, Jesse!
Thank you 🙏,
Pa, I was fixin to say it was bout time for another video! Made my day. God bless, merry Christmas! The youngins are still enjoying their books and I used some your guidance on my last little barn buildin. We got a new baby donkey before Thanksgivin!
Merry Christmas to you all, Lance. Tell the kids I said "Hey!"
@@farmhandscompanion I sure will, God Bless yall!
Love the video, and can't wait to see more on milking and (maybe?) some oxen stuff in the future. The new guitar tune is lovely. That's not THE John Arnold, the well-known luthier, is it? Great playing, on both your parts, whoever it is.
Yes, more cow stuff to come. And no, a different John Arnold (unless there's a secret life he's not shared with me). Thanks for watchin', Will
Similar imprint of milk cow and homemade butter on my brain too brother. Wish I was set up for one but not quite there. ~Nanny~
Hope y'all have a Merry Christmas, Hoot & Nanny!
Yesss hes back :D
my kids love these videos. I've been a fan longer than them. Excited to watch later :)
Tell the kids I said "Hey, and Merry Christmas", Noel. (And thank you for watchin', too!)
Pa! Thankee for the vid :)
Glad to see another great video! You've inspired much of my own homestead plans. How are the apple trees doing?
Love these videos, they transport me to a simpler time, not all that long ago ~
Long time, no see. I was afraid. Having cow is the key when you want functional garden/field. Manure cannot be substituded. Also I do share your choice of Jersey cows. They have the most sweet and creamy milk.
About time been waiting g forever for a new one how are u Mr gary
Hey Matt, tell the family I said "Hey!", and y'all have a Merry Christmas!
I was just thinking yesterday how long it's been since your last upload lol.
I thought you might be thinkin' that thought. Thanks for watchin', Lifestyle Project!
Keep on farm in’ my Israelite brethren!
Acho bem interesante o que fazes e constroes cultivar nesa terra que eh soh pedras eh 1 exercicio de atividade cultiveas
Love that straw hat you are wearing in the beginning of the video. Where did you get it?
Years ago at some dollar store on sale. Bought a whole stack of 'em for like a dollar or two, and reshaped 'em to be more traditional lookin'. Thanks for watchin'!
another goodin
For some reason you forgotten the cookies recipe. It was just home milk the secret ingredient?
The butter was the magic, Andres!
Careful, I've heard that cows can carry covid. Keep up the great work and stay safe!
I wonder why the German term 'milch' was used, in 'milch cow'. In German it'd be Milchkuh....
