  • Today I am moving a younger calf of ours into the calf barn and officially weaning him off milk. Also I move a fresh cow from the maternity pen over to the dairy barn. To start the transition back to being a milking cow. Thank you all for watching!

    What a beautiful day to be working outside !! March sure can be not always so warm. This Winter will be one for the books. Thanks 😊.

    The calves look nice and healthy, thanks for the wheelbarrow ride. Great to see the wiffie...should have her on more often. Sping has sprung. Another great video, always enjoyable and look forward to your next one.

    For marking treated cows we use tailhead spray paint the paint sticks dry out to fast here and get hard

    Marking cows - I just use a marker to write whatever message I need to leave for myself or the rest of the family, right on the cow's udder, where the person doing the milking can see it up close and personal like. My daughter usually clips the udders during their pre-fresh period and that leaves a nice smooth udder surface on which to write, or draw.....yeah, sometimes I get carried away with my udder messaging. A fella has got to have some fun every now and then.

    Last night when we were watching the question came, how old is your oldest cow & how old is your St Bernard?

    We use the pink spray marking paint , it seems to show up better on the dark colored cows.

    I would enjoy your channel more if you had a microphone hooked to the front of your shirt or if you didn't keep swiveling your head back and forth when talking. The constant rise and fall of volume is quite annoying. Otherwise, it's clear that you really care for your animals and have a great relationship with your family.

    • @ArmpitStudios
      @ArmpitStudios 6 місяців тому

      That's extra equipment that many farms don't want to be bothered with (keeping track of, charging, wires tangling, etc). What would be better is if UA-cam offered a simple compressor to equalize volume levels when they're uploaded.

    Looks like an ol small bulk tank repurposed as a water tank. Use to think those were big back in the day.

    Fortunately for #11 she gets up. Being older I suspect that was going to be her last calf?? Sad when that happens but it is how it goes in the dairy life. Sure has been a mostly nice winter.... Could use a little more moisture though. Yup we use paint Sticks too

    Just an observation, your one of few UA-cam dairy’s that use straw for bedding. Was always my favorite.

    • @ArmpitStudios
      @ArmpitStudios 6 місяців тому

      I see some using wood chips, but it looks more like sawdust, which just looks like a horrible thing to use. Woodworkers are cautioned about sawdust in their lungs, so it can't be great for cattle either, plus it can be more injurious than straw because of stiffer fibers causing splinters and such.

    Straw was probably baled with a baler that has knives in it cut long stems.

    Paint sticks, we are a free stall so I tried collars but it was too much of a pain to take them on and off. The ankle bracelets loved to fall off in the pasture
