Thanks for the memories. I forgot to say, this was back in the mid 60's when I was working on the dairy. I would milk for a week, when I would feed, feed the calves, help finish the milking string, then in the mornings I would wash down the holding carrel, when the milk barn. We had a 6 cow polar milk barn. Then we would eat, then roll about 250 bales of hay for that day.
Oh how I remember those days but we had the Surge milk pails and carried pails of milk to the milkhouse at one end of the barn about the same as yours is, meaning no pipeline. We didn't/couldn't have a gutter cleaner, (too many nooks and aisles to the side) so I filled the spreader nearly every day in the winter. Things have changed in the 6 decades but still a lot of hard work!
Watching you brings back memories of when I worked on a small 250 cows, milking dairy, (when I was 11 thru 18 years old.) I did everything like you are showing on your channel. Thanks, Steve
I just started watching your videos and I really love your passion you have for the cows and y’all have a little different style in milking than another channel I’ve been watching for a long time called Acres of Clay. Anyway keep up the good work!
Like I said a Warrior and a great care giver .We NEED you guys .I know you probably don’t hear this much but THANK YOU .Brent is lucky he has you as a work partner .
Thanks for sharing, Taylor. We appreciate your time to make these videos, always good content and very well executed. Please keep them coming, makes my day a bit better.
I’m so glad you enjoy them, makes my day to read kind comments from you all! Y’all are so awesome and we really appreciate your support and kindness ♥️
Hi Taylor thanks for sharing another awesome video. Keep them coming there great to watch, Brent and yourself work together like a well oiled machine. Great to watch you interact with the cow's your so gentle i think the cow's like you to, well most of them there always one 😅. Thanks again take care and stay safe 👍 😊. Hope you don't get to much snow.
Thank you Taylor for this segment, the sights and sounds of the daily milkings are soothing and settling to my soul, it takes me back to my happy place when I was milking with my father on the home farm... they are both gone now 😢😢.
Just to go again, Love your attitude with the cows. Also noticed that Brent also has a lot of love for his cows. Probably could have gone to a hardware store and gotten some bolts that would work on the equipment. Glad the milk fever cow is doing good. And yeah, she has an attitude. Looked like the one cow was ticklish, the way she danced around when you were cleaning her udders.
Proper term here is uddet. A cow has one under, 4 teats. There is nothing obscene about this it is what they are called. Don't be embarrassed to sound like you know a little bit about the dairy business. If you didn't know before now you do
Thank you Tay, I love😢 this show! It takes me back to my childhood at my uncles dairy. If you have never heard Paul Harvey’s God made a farmer give it a listen, it’s my favorite. 👍👏🐄
Another great video. Love your candor. You actually show what a farmer's life is like. Lots of hard work and fun if you like it. I always enjoyed l my time on the farm. Loved the work and interacting with the cows. God Bless.
Good morning to Taylor and Brent it’s Thursday morning and just finished watching you’re video as always it’s awesome cleaning milky and working together I enjoy it and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Milking time is a peaceful time, unless the cow is kicking, 😀. Squatting is the conventional dairy barn’s woe, the farmer always ends up with bad knees. One farm I worked at culled slow milkers, the owner wanted an efficient herd. Thank you Taylor for sharing milking time.
Hi Taylor. We just dug out from a very heavy snow storm here in Wisconsin. Many people are still without power 3 days after the storm . Enjoyed your video today. Milking the cows was always an opportunity to observe how they are doing . Great video . Stay warm. Stay positive and keep that snow shovel handy.🐄🚜😉
I just love that barn. What an amazing tie-stall barn, its got such good room. To uave the height wnd width for a decent skidloader to be able to work in is awesome. Glad it was vuilt with such a high level of craftsmanship.
Taylor and Brent thanks I am 73 and still drink milk everyday. Its not as good as the whole milk I grew up drinking but i love it with Hershey's chocolate.
Great job Taylor and Brent another fabulous video as always please keep them coming. We love your videos here in Ireland. Best wishes and kind regards Patrick Brazil.
Tay we got a good pile of snow and it is coming your way now. It is melting today and we should have 50 degrees in a couple days so that also should head your way. Stay safe and healthy Tay.
Cows all look really good Taylor. Can tell you really enjoy the cows, and take extra care with them. Most farmers take really good care of their animals and is good for people to see that. Hope your weather doesn't get to bad we had all rain here in Iowa over 2 inches might get late to get in the field here to. Take care. Stan, Ia.
I will never forget the time when i was a kid i never liked milk and we had two cows to hand milk taking turns with my older brother . One morning the cow kicked at a fly and put her foot in the bucket and i didn’t want to tell my grumpy brother that wanted milk so i decided to keep quiet but he noticed the milk looked “a little brown” and i looked at him like the cat that ate the canary pretending not to know then we decided to throw it out
Today's instant push button everything and your using a bucket that cost 5$ to replace vs ths of $ to push a button. Many old farmers looked at milking parlors and felt they would loose touch with their lady's. Keeping it simple may take muscles and time but no headaches over technology when it often fails. Progress = bankers becoming the boss. Keep it simple girl- Brent sure has great instinct with that skid steer- rick
Thanks so much! It is a great place to be with all the cows inside, so many comforting sounds and smells! Can’t wait to get back on the fields. I bet you are feeling that way too!☺️
@@tayfarmsYes nothing like being in a wsrm barn milking and listening to everything around you. I can’t wait to get out in the fields again but have more snow at the moment 🤦♂️🤗❤️
i use to put down a dab of feed to get the cows in, and I had a good cow dog, he would walk behind the cows you were locking up and if she tried to step out, he would nip it's heel, she wasn't getting away! All my cows had their spot, but if I had to change any I had a old Jersey cow that I could move anywhere!
That’s the way to do it! Brent used to have a dog like that when I first started working for him, unfortunately he passed away. I think he was 12 or 13 so he lived a good life but it still incredibly hard to lose them!
I don't envy you puting those sweeps back on especially with short bolts. Did that myself a few times with correct sized bolts. Crawling under those shanks is no fun especially if your not in shape for it.
Good Luck with the Storm. My side of the 49th Eastern Ontario , We got a Royal Shellacking Complete with a Power Outage that took awhile to Restore Power.. Keep Up the Videos👌 👍 Question ... Locking a loose chain to their neck, Is the Purpose to restrict their movement ??
Sorry I haven’t commented in a while. I’m back at the farm full time again. I don’t have as much you tube time as I did at the saw mill. Great video. You guys have a good weekend.
Have you ever started milking a cow then realized that she wasn’t chained in and then she started to move to another stall. 😂. It may have happened to me around 45 years ago but luckily I was milking by myself so no one else saw it 😂😂.
I totally agree. The love to your down Jersey (my favorite type cow) was touching......as she chewed her cud she looked relax & trusting of you. 🐮 @@tayfarms
Good morning Taylor I have a question When you were putting on the sweeps what is the metal outside you mentioned it was the orginal part is there a need for it
Can you answer these questions in a video for me please. Why do you open and close the slide on the bin so much? Its to break up the lumps before they fall in the bucket I'm guessing? And do you have any cows trip over the barn floor cleaner?
THANK YOU TO OUR FARMERS!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Love the smell of the barn with fresh shavings! Farmers and solders do more before 5 am than everyone else
Yes we do
Watching you brings back memories of when I worked on a small 250 cows, milking dairy, (when I was 11 thru 18 years old.) I did everything like you are showing on your channel.
Thanks, Steve
I can still remember milking with delaval pail milkers and walking pails to the milk house to dump in the strainer . Boy have things ever changed 😂!
I just started watching your videos and I really love your passion you have for the cows and y’all have a little different style in milking than another channel I’ve been watching for a long time called Acres of Clay. Anyway keep up the good work!

These bolts have a special head ,so they are flush with the sweep. Like counter sunk

Great video.barn looks great all bedded up.Thanks for sharing with us..It was fun to see cows eating the corn meal
Good morning Taylor, another great video. Can’t wait to see you out in the fields. ❤
I enjoy the relationship that you and Brent have, you guys are the best - I was on a farm for a while when I was a small boy

Nice vlog, Taylor! I like to see day to day routine every now and then! 👍👌✌️🇺🇸
Awesome! Thank you!
@@tayfarms الحب هو حياة القلوب الميتة ونبض الحياة .❤️🔥🌹

Thank you so much! Will do, stay safe and catch you in the next video!
That’s utterly preposterous, this is a Wednesday pick up Bill does it, on Saturdays it’s the utter guy. 😂❤
Good morning to Taylor and Brent it’s Thursday morning and just finished watching you’re video as always it’s awesome cleaning milky and working together I enjoy it and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Can't wait till you can get back in the fields. I'm excited to see that plow work for you
Great video Taylor! I love watching you guys milk!
Ever try Barn calcite on the floor? (Barn Dri) it may be called at the elevator.
Good morning Taylor and Brent
Wonderful Video Taylor! Guess the one played a trick on you. She wanted to be in a different stall.
Good morning Taylor,grow your team skills so they can udderly take on anything.
Just fascinating! Thanks for sharing. Jason was explaining everything throughout the whole episode as we watched it. Awesome! 🥰
Great video Taylor and Brent
Milk cows sure like there corn meal
That they do😅

You appear very content here, Taylor. Definitely in your element. 🐄 🐈 🐮

our cows always went itn the same stall unless a heifer had to go in.
Another good video, you are always so gentle with cows
Morning chores with Tay👍
I would love to pour a 5 gallon bucket full of chocolate sauce in the bulk tank an drink until I pop 🤣🤣😂😂👍🇺🇸
I commend you and Brent because I think you dairy farmers have a much harder job than cattle farmers. keep up the good work .
When are we going to get more sawdust? I NEED donuts!!!!!
I just love that barn.
What an amazing tie-stall barn, its got such good room. To uave the height wnd width for a decent skidloader to be able to work in is awesome.
Glad it was vuilt with such a high level of craftsmanship.
It is beautiful, I love looking at all the details of it, truly amazing how they built it! Thanks so much for commenting 🙂
That's early the sun not even up🤣😂♥️👍🇺🇸
You are one very beautiful farmer
Another great video! Got 250 goats am milking 2 time a day. Got some early mornings myself😁
Nice work! Glad you enjoy watching😀
Another great video Taylor, “smells like socks in here”😂😂😂
👍🏻👍🏻☺️
Taylor and Brent thanks I am 73 and still drink milk everyday. Its not as good as the whole milk I grew up
drinking but i love it with Hershey's chocolate.
As a farmer, THANK YOU for supporting the industry!! I agree with you nothing better than a cool glass of chocolate milk 🥛 Heaven!!
Hi Taylor good to see the snow is gone
Nice video Taylor
FIRST 🆒 Video Taylor !!!!
Great job Taylor and Brent another fabulous video as always please keep them coming. We love your videos here in Ireland. Best wishes and kind regards Patrick Brazil.
Thank you, we are so grateful that y’all enjoy watching along with us! Hope you have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Great job milking Taylor and Brent
Thank you!
Out of curiosity how is your herd average per # in milk? I bet feeding them all of that longer hay really makes good butterfat and other components.
Tay we got a good pile of snow and it is coming your way now. It is melting today and we should have 50 degrees in a couple days so that also should head your way. Stay safe and healthy Tay.

Good honest work
I like it when you are milking and watching the way you treat your cows so good
Thanks for another great video!!!
Our pleasure, thank you for joining us !
Ms.Tay keepin it real!!!!
That power cart roller is pretty sweet
Probably the snow storm we just had it was coming your way a lot of power outages very wet snow
I will never forget the time when i was a kid i never liked milk and we had two cows to hand milk taking turns with my older brother .

I DON'T SEE ANY BARN KITTIES WE HAVE LOTS OF THEM 8OR 10 LOVE TO WATCH THEM PLAY AN HUNT LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

Great video sweetheart, miss being in the barn milking and doing chores.💕 Good that you are getting the tillage equipment ready. 🤗
Thanks so much! It is a great place to be with all the cows inside, so many comforting sounds and smells! Can’t wait to get back on the fields. I bet you are feeling that way too!☺️
@@tayfarmsYes nothing like being in a wsrm barn milking and listening to everything around you. I can’t wait to get out in the fields again but have more snow at the moment 🤦♂️🤗❤️
Waiting to see what you got out of this storm. Down here in Mass we got ice then about 6” of the heavy wet stuff.
Another great video nice that you showed us some cows with there own special characteristics.
Glad you enjoyed it😊
i use to put down a dab of feed to get the cows in, and I had a good cow dog, he would walk behind the cows you were locking up and if she tried to step out, he would nip it's heel, she wasn't getting away!

Great. Video do you feed plain meal or Self Rising. 😅😅😅
Tyler quit taking your shoes off in the milk room LOL
😂😆
We would put our wet chore gloves over the milk house heater...it would smell like socks while they dried....😂
Happy to see milk-fevered cow doing better. I feel like I should know her name.
She’s doing great! Dianna is her name 😀
You guys lay that sawdust down like youve done it a few times before.
😅
So beautiful with your hair up!
Can you show the big tractor behind you?😮
GIRLE YOU WEAR ME OUT YOUR A HARD WORKING VERY SMART PRETTY YOUNG LADY HAVE A GREAT DAY😅😊
Hi Taylor, do you still notice this timing-klicking of the pulsators while milking? Good thing that you mentioned cleaning up the balewrap.👍
Are you going to watch for the eclipse on the afternoon of April 8? I believe the path of totality goes thru Maine as it leaves the US.
You could put a augur on that feed tank run it into barn right?
I don't envy you puting those sweeps back on especially with short bolts. Did that myself a few times with correct sized bolts. Crawling under those shanks is no fun especially if your not in shape for it.
Great video Taylor just saying you will loose that wing if you don't use a longer bolt maybe a spot of weld now that your a professional welder 😂
Time for a donut run ??🎉🤣
Always 😉
🐄😁
Good Luck with the Storm. My side of the 49th Eastern Ontario , We got a Royal Shellacking Complete with a Power Outage that took awhile to Restore Power.. Keep Up the Videos👌 👍 Question ... Locking a loose chain to their neck, Is the Purpose to restrict their movement ??
Sorry I haven’t commented in a while. I’m back at the farm full time again. I don’t have as much you tube time as I did at the saw mill. Great video. You guys have a good weekend.
Totally understand that, hope you have a terrific rest of your week! Minus all this ridiculous snow of course 😅
Good afternoon Taylor!!
Hi there, how are you doing today!
@@tayfarms excellent watching your video again 💯❤️✌🏻
Make a video of the milk man picking up the milk and show us where they process it at❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing with us
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
By the way, you are amazing
That’s so sweet!

Great video Tay👍👍👍
Thank you for watching 🤩
@@tayfarms always do Tay love your content but sorry times I don’t get time to leave a comment but I always give the thumbs up stay safe 👍
How much milk do yall get each day and how often does the truck come to collect the milk
Like I said, I'm a city boy born and raised. I have a profound new respect for farmers and the work they do.. But @13:15 I'd be out!!!!
Really enjoyed your video
So glad!
You're a great caretaker to the Heard great job
Thank you so much!
I totally agree. The love to your down Jersey (my favorite type cow) was touching......as she chewed her cud she looked relax & trusting of you. 🐮 @@tayfarms
Do you dip the milking unit after every cow 🐮 ? Another great video Tay👍 🚜🇬🇧
Good morning Taylor I have a question When you were putting on the sweeps what is the metal outside you mentioned it was the orginal part is there a need for it
How much snow did you get Tay?
Can you answer these questions in a video for me please. Why do you open and close the slide on the bin so much? Its to break up the lumps before they fall in the bucket I'm guessing? And do you have any cows trip over the barn floor cleaner?
