***** 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 2 new videos every week! Tuesday and Saturday. 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.

Jerseys always seem to have calcium issues as soon as they calf, their body just leeches all of the calcium out of her body and dumps it into the milk. Many cows will die from it before the owners realize what happened. This is a good video for new cow owners to watch.
Watch for them being lethargic, they also feel cool to the touch. I used to check by feeling their ears.
We treat our heifers and cows right away without fail to prevent this very issue.
Resting Bitchface how do you treat it? Can it be prevented by giving a supplement?
Not always. We’ve almost finished calving our 280 jersey cows for the year, and we’ve only had about 5 with milk fever. We find it’s only an issue for over 5yos. We always supplement with Mag pre calving and Mag and Calcium post calving. They generally bounce back really quickly. Just like Hope did.
Yes I have always heard that of Jerseys as well because of mass amount of milk they produce before birth of calf.
What beautiful creatures cows are, so gentle and calm creature, loving to their young. I hope that calf has more than 18 month on this earth with its mother and for you to enjoy and love...
Seeing this gives me a whole new perspective on the mental, physical and emotional energy it takes to raise these beautiful animals and gardens! Thank you for teaching us non farmers. Bless you and everyone watching.
Thanks ! God Bless !!
There is nothing more beautiful than what nature provides for us, nothing even comes close. Thank you for caring for Hope and her calf, and thank you God, for sparing Hope, Amen
That moment when Hope got up and the vet turned to Kevin and said, “Alright” and Kevin agreed “Alight”. Wow - that is a priceless moment. Thank GOD!
So wonderful to see her UP and doing better! The baby looks a good size and nursing very well. So happy for the blessing on your homestead!
I was nearly in tears seeing Hope looking so bad. Then she stood up and I cheered. Beautiful baby bull. So glad things turned out okay.
Me too, that was a little scary for a min there.
Me too!!!!
Me, too!
Yay! They are both happy and well. Whew! Hope is such a beautiful cow! Her coloring is gorgeous. Her calf looks beautiful and healthy too. Continued health and long life.
As soon as I saw the picture I thought calcium! Grew up on a dairy farm and this was a common occurrence. We always kept Calcium drench on hand, mom would put it in one of the big old glass coke bottles, hold her head up and pour it down the throat. Worked like a miracle, glad Hope is ok.
When I seen Hope laying there I almost cried. It’s beautiful that the vet was able to take such quick action and that Hope has such great owners. That calf is adorable
Whew! So very happy that she is doing better. And, the calf is absolutely darling!! Prayers for a continuing recovery and a happy cow and baby. 😊
Hi, love your videos. I live on an island 8 miles off the south west coast of Ireland 🇮🇪. We always keep a bottle of calcium in the house. It'll last for years, and if we don't need it, guaranteed someone else on the island will. Because we're so far out to sea, an hour by boat, the vets only come once a year to do the annual TB testing . I enjoy your channel well done. What'll you name the baby?
It's so GOOD knowing that we have visitor's from other Countries watching and enjoying Living Traditions Homestead! Don't you wish you lived close by to lend a helping hand, and share some of their produce, I know I do! ( - ; ( - ;
My Dad keep it too and went all over to the farm around too
@@Dobviews So sorry to hear of your illness. I too have been very ill with 3 years, hence youtube is a lifeline. I was very active and fit. Then I got Lyme's disease, Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Myeloma. I'm getting stronger and doing everything in my power to get better. On maintenance dose of treatment now. I've given up carbs, so no bread, pasta, grain of any kind. Just meat, fish eggs and dairy. I do a bit of fasting, one day a week and thr rest of the days I eat in an 18/6 or 20/4 eating window. I started in March and it's been a game changer. When I went back to the hospital in July the doctor was dancing with delight. I had lost 37lbs and ALL my white blood cells and other markers were in the normal range. So we can help ourselves too. Never give up battling!!
@@Dobviews I am praying for you.
This seems like something they should learn to treat on their own. Save the vet fees
Poor girl, so glad shes doing well now. She seems so sweet. Thank God for veterinary medicine. Good job getting her care without delay.
I am soooo happy that Hope is doing well. I was on pins and needles watching this. The Calf is Beautiful. Congratulations Hope.
HOMESTEAD HEART I love your channel and watch it all the time. I truly hope that in a emergency that you all call for help before using valuable time making a video of it? Seems more and more people making videos turn greedy the more popular they become. Makes me upset because they appeared to be thoughtful people. Getting more and more impossible to find good channels that I can watch with my grandkids and they can learn real life skills. They sure don’t need help being thoughtless and selfish.
Congratulations!! Beautiful Calf.
Wobbly is the key signal you have a problem...before they go down.
Better than most shows on tv right now
@@lindajackson618 I understand feeling like it wasn't going fast enough, but I think they called as soon as the practice opened. Not all the staff was even in yet.
I am so glad Hope made it through the milk fever scare, and that little T-Bone is hail and hearty. Congratulations to all.
I'm glad the Vet came out and knew what to do for the cow, happy to see her come back to normal
I'm so relieved that your family is so well informed about problematic health concerns and vigilant in maintaining the health of your dairy cow. Hope is a very lucky girl to be part of your family.
I love Hope! Congratulations on the baby bull! That was scary to see sweet Hope like that, but glad the treatment the Vet gave her brought her back! I hope she stays well! She has great owners! You guys are so good! Thank God for making her be healthy again!
Wow!!!! Glad all turned out okay!!!! Glad your vet was on hand so quickly!!!!!!! Good job, everyone!!!!!!
Omgs I was a wreck watching this cant imagine how you both felt ! She's my utube cow I love her congratulations guys
Great video so glad Hope pulled thru and she's doing so much better.🙋🙋
I'm so happy your little calf was born and the crisis was averted for Hope.
What a Blessing.. first a beautiful baby and second a great recovery. Prayers being sent your way. From Livonia, Michigan.
Seeing a sweet and calming thing like hope with her calf is such a respite in this crazy world and crazy times. Thanks so much for showing it to us! ❤️ good video
So happy for the arrival of your calf. Poor Hope, what she went trough made me sad, but thankfully you were able to help her in time, being as caring as you always are. Congratulations!
The Miracle was so amazing! Wonderful Vet and Assistant! I was so thrilled when Hope got up!!!
I had such a close relationship with my dairy cow I named her Mama. The morning she delivered I had gone out to feed. She was laying on the ground with a low moan. I was there when her calf was born. She just laid there didn't move didn't get up. I took a towel and cleaned him up a bit then I picked him up and moved him to her sight. She slowly lifted her head her eyes got bright and she was up in a flash! She was making a noise like oooh oooh and started cleaning her son.
She was so excited. Then Mama got milk fever and despite early treatment she developed mastitis. Mama couldn't have anymore babies. She lived out her life grazing in the pasture. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of her. Of all the animals we have owned she was just special. They have their own unique personalities she owned my heart.
So happy things worked out well for you. The smile on your face says it all.
Actually women can get mastitis after birth as well. My coworker did and it was very painful until the treatment kicked in.
I’m so happy for your cow Hope.
I was shocked at how much I fell in love with our first cow (Ella). She is so clever and gentle and sweet. I know she will have a home in my pasture until she is a very old lady! So long as God let’s me, I’ll keep her fat and happy!
Life is SUCH a 'delicate' balance! SoOOooo much we take for granted. Thank-you 4 sharing. Health and God's Blessings.
Boy that was scary!! So glad the vets were fast moving! I never clicked so fast!!!
I am so happy Hope is better and her calf is beautiful! Congratulations and blessings to all.
Praise the Lord for large animal vets.
Bless her heart. So sorry this happened but thankfully all turned out well. Beautiful baby. Congratulations on the new addition. God bless!
Welcome to the world, little one. Prayers for Hope to continue to be a healthy momma cow. Blessings to all. 💙💖
Aww, Hopey, I'm so glad you are doing better. Congratulations, Kevin and Sarah on the new addition to the homestead.
I"m a grown man and I teared up seeing her so lethargic and not well. Thank you guys SO much for filming it. It almost feels like she's our cow too lol
Beautiful! Momma and baby well. God continues to bless you guys. Many Prayers!!!
I have never in my life been so worried about a cow!! I am so emotional right now. God is good!
YES !!!
Oh poor Hope. My heart was breaking for her. Glad she is better and congratulations on the calf. He is a beauty.
Ohhhh that was intense! But she carry her name well! HOPE ❤️ Never loose your hope 😅❤️ lots of love and big hugs to new mama and to you! YOU HAVE A BABY NOW YEEEEEEYYYY 🤗🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰
so sad to see a loved animal sick, but so thankful that the GREAT GOD showed HIS mercy for you all. and the vet
I can't imagine the stress you were under while Hope was being treated. Thankful for a great vet who arrived so quickly and your newest addition as well. Prayers for you two, Hope, and the baby. God bless all of you.
Wow! So scary. I’m thankful that she is ok. The calf is beautiful just like his momma. Congratulations to all.
The older the dairy cow the greater the risk of milk fever, looking forward you should treat her with calcium bonus at delivery to prevent the milk fever
We have many heifers that have this issue with their first calves. When they show metabolic issues from the start, they generally aren’t bred again, but culled from the herd when the season is over.
@@RestingBitchface7 That's a good thing. Keeps the herds healthier.
Glade to see that hope and baby is doing well. Thanks for sharing I learned something new today
What a good girl. Every Jersey owners worst fear at calving. Bless you guys!
What a great TLC ( Tender Loving Care ) you both had given to HOPES. God Bless you
Great news guys,, shouting like hell here in Wales... "Go on Hope" as she was getting up.. brilliant day.. Love to you all.. x
I really appreciate how loving you are to all of your animals.
Calves are just too dang cute! Glad to see Hope doing great after the vet visit.
What a beautiful, scary way to start your day. A great thing to have such caring and quick vets in your area! So glad you have a beautiful bull and Hope will be okay.
So glad everything is good. Someone should come out with a feed that has a lot of calcium in it, like the long lasting oral calcium, that you can give as a "treat" right after birth. Might help to eradicate milk fever.
Continued blessings to you!
There is something. It's called a calcium bolus.
It is actually an imbalance between phosphorus & calcium. Giving calcium supplements can be a dangerous thing and actually cause more problems than not if they aren't having a specific need for it.
CMPK has the phosphorus that keeps things balanced.
I would recommend keeping the tube of CMPK on hand so that it can be given immediately if needed.
What @Rhonda Cary said. It’s not a straight up deficiency. It’s a shift of nutrients from other parts of the body to another, and it’s a rather sudden shift.
On a different UA-cam site a vet was called out for exact issue on a jersey momma. He said that there is actually a feed that you can give a month or so before calving. The feed teaches the body to pull calcium from the bones so as not to end up with milk fever.
I thought this was really interesting.
Awww, congrats on being grandparents of such a beautiful baby. I am so glad Hope is doing well.
Whew! Having animals can be scary! So glad all is good!
Congrats!!! She seemed thankful for the help, yet appreciated that you kinda kept distance too. He's a cute little fella. I'm so excited for you guys! ♥️
So glad Hope is alright! I had tears when she finally got up.
Aww.. I'm so happy for you guys and for the new mamma on the homestead. There is so much beauty in nature and so much we get to appreciate💕
So beautiful to see a new mom take care of her baby
You two care so deeply for your animals. Thanks for sharing this story.
I haven't visited you for a while but had to find out about Hope's calf when I received your alert. You guys have certainly had a scary time. Poor Hope down for the count was heartbreaking. Glad the vet was able to come so quickly. Beautiful calf. I love happy endings. I'm still subscribed with notifications. Bless you and your family.
Glad she is doing good now. Sending good vibes that she gets better and full recovery
He's out resting under the tree, and my five year old said "look mom, he's Ferdinand!"💙💙💙💙💙
My favorite book as a child! ❤
Now that crisis is averted, this is a good point. What will they name him?
Awwww, sweet baby. 💜
💕💕💕
I loved that book when I was little...lol...a long time ago
How precious. The calf is adorable. Awe, poor sweet Hope. I'm so glad she bounced back pretty quickly after the vets came and got her the calcium and minerals.
I can't imagine what feeling you were both going through. I cried as I watched her when the vet first got there. Thank goodness for modern medicine and happy beginnings!
I'll have Hope and her calf and of course your family in my thoughts until your next update for us. Thank You.
Congratulations calf is so cute. Thank you for showing us the quick response on the situation so we can learn from it. Good job. God bless.
That was so emotional, she’s not my cow and I’m sitting here crying for her. I’m so glad Hope is doing fine, her baby is beautiful. God Bless!!
Oh my I was crying too thank goodness she is ok
I cried too. What an experience, I’ve never cried for a cow before....
Oh my gosh, do you people even have your own life? You are crying over a UA-cam video? How sad for you!!!
Lauren Andreas Did the pot call the kettle black?? Look in the mirror
Lauren Andreas Ohl...gurl bye.
Bye Felicia !!!
How scary! She looked so bad poor girl. Glad you have a vet that was able to come so quickly. Best wishes for everyone
I'm sooooo glad shes doing alot better.this had me in tears.she feels like family.her baby is adorable ♡
She looks so much better. Thank goodness you knew what to look for and the vet was so attentive.
Whoo hoo Hope is fine!
Gee whiz, scary once i saw Hope on the ground.
Kudos to the HASTY vet. Sometimes they have bookings and cannot be that fast!
I almost started crying!!. God bless you guys, hope and baby.. stay grateful thankful and blessed xoxo
SO Glad You Cald Right Away: What a Beautiful Miracle❣️Praying for Momma Hope & Baby Calf❣️🙏🥰🙏
This was incredible on so many levels! Wow! Awww look at the precious calf drinking milk! Beautiful!
Congratulations on Hope's beautiful little calf & so glad Mama is back to normal. I was so worried!!
Hope is gorgeous with such beautiful colors and sheen, prettiest I've ever seen
..Baby is precious too. Very happy news!! I was very worried too for ya'll. Vets were super gentle and knowledgeable. Congratulations Hope, baby and homestead. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Lot of work to a cow. May her have more year's in her life time👌
Omgg...She is so beautiful...Congratulations....
Glad everything turned out ok. Beautiful baby. Milk fever can be a scary thing. GOD BLESS
Congratulations all around! The new calf is beautiful and Hope is strong and bouncing back from milk fever. Thanks for taking us along on this exciting experience 💞
Awe god love em .. I'm so glad the crisis with Hope was averted.. I was nervous when she didn't get up right away ... Good looking calf and Hope is a beautiful momma ❤️
I'm so glad Hope & her baby calf are well...Congratulations Living Tradition!
I'm sitting here watching with tears in my eyes. Poor Hope. I feel for you all.
Hello dear how are you doing today, Wonderful and beautiful flower in this world, what makes you fill happy or makes you happy??
I am so relieved Hope is OK !!!!! The baby calf is beautiful, too ! God Bless all of your Family and congratulations to Mom Hope.... :)
Learned about milk fever from James Herriott's book "All Creatures Great and Small". Glad she came through ok.
That's a great book. One of my favorites
Dr Pol too 😍
I'm crying for dear Hope. You take great care of your animals
Please be careful round her, from a dairy farm here in Northern Ireland, dairy cows can be very protective of baby so always keep an escape route!
Your relief is palpable...The trying of your faith worketh endurance...every test makes your faith tougher Nd stronger...your followers SEE you and care...
I cried when Hope stood up. Thank the Lord.
Oh your calf is such a darling baby! Beautiful color! So happy Hope is doing better now!
Amazing how quickly the calcium infusion relieved Hope's symptoms. So happy she is doing well now.
Such a blessing... a new calf! And Thank you Jesus for allowing Hope to pull through.
We have some calcium as a drench on hand for kidding season just in case to get the goat(s) through until the vet can be here. Can't hurt!
Goats can get that too?
I was wondering if there was some preventive measure you could take a few days before the calf was born to prevent this happening
Nothing is worse than watching your favorite dairy goat go down with milk fever!!!
V all gestational birthing ruminants are at risk for milk fever, some worse than others.
@@RestingBitchface7 Especially those bred for producing lots of milk. It's that big flush of milk produced that is the issue. Beef cattle don't have as high of incidence, since they don't produce as much milk as dairy cattle.
She is such a gentle mama ! Congratulations on a very beautiful calf !
OH MY... quite a scary time... Many blessings for continued recovery ‼️♥️💚 🐮 🐄
At the age of twelve, my grandmother gave me my first cow in exchange I had to milk by hand and help with six other milk cows. We sold milk, butter, and made ice cream.
So glad your cow is doing well. In thirty years we only had one cow to get milk fever, she recovered also. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on your new baby and passing the crisis. Beautiful little guy
I was so scared for Hope! Thank God you were able to get a Vet out fast enough to help her! I cried when she stood up for the first time after receiving the meds. And then again when she was reunited with her calf. That was scary! I’m amazed you stayed as calm as you did. I love Hope and have enjoyed watching your journey with her. Please do more videos with her and her calf. I’ll be anxious to hear what you name it. God bless you, your family and all of your animals!! 💕
Very helpful video! Thank God, she responded quickly. Blessings to you and your homestead. 🙏
I’m so glad she recovered fast! I’m always afraid every time my jersey calves. Enjoy all the wonderful things from getting a huge supply of milk and all the different things that you will make from it. 🥰
So thankful Hope is well, beautiful calf !!! Congratulations to you both !!! God Bless !!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️
This makes so happy for you pray she stays healthy. Just brings me tears.
