  • We have a few things going on in this video from a small welding project in the shop to dealing with more baby calves. I question my decision to pound in T Posts around our straw bed ground after cows start rubbing and scratching on them enough that the eventually break them off at ground level. We have an ornery mother cow that doesn’t make our life any easier either.

    Great to see the little one out there! I am blown away by the amt of snow and depth of frost in the ground at this late date

      It’s nice having them all out there with me helping. I’m a little behind on editing still so this was actually filmed a few weeks ago. Things are looking a bit different now.

    Enjoying seeing Star Valley in the winter. It's been a few years since we have been there to visit the wife's family on Tincup road. Cute little family. BTW, My wife's one older brother's name is Ellis Luthi.

      That’s crazy! I had no idea there had been another Ellis Luthi. Who were your wife’s parents you might have already told me but I can’t remember. Thanks for the comment! Hope you are doing well!

    Another great video good to see some bare ground and strong sun for a change. Things back east are greening up quickly we'll be getting some cows for the summer in a week or two. My daughter went from one cow milking once a day to two cows milking with another one getting ready to calve, she's got an off farm part time job now too so she's back in the thick of it again LoL. Hard to belive she started with three heifers five or so years ago now she's looking at eleven head home not counting the two Donkeys and she's sold two along the way. They do a great job with them and it shows. Your routine closely parallels hers and both of you have excellent herds. She has lots of Jersey cattle and they come with their own issues one being prone to milk fever. All dairy cattle have the chance of having it some breeds more so than others. Nice to see the family out mingling with the cows and calves that Ellis is a riot. Stay safe

      I’ve never been around Jersey cows, when we used to milk we had Holsteins I was pretty young though. I’ve heard jerseys are a lot nicer and calmer. Hopefully your daughter doesn’t wear herself out too much, I know what it’s like trying to care for animals and having a town job on top of it. The snow is starting to go fast now! Hope you and your family are doing great!

      Haha they love to scratch on anything they can. I left my truck in the hay field one day I can back and the cows had busted my mirror off from rubbing on it. I don’t put out any toys for the calves but I do leave those plastic mineral tub buckets out there and they seem to play with those a bunch.
