Milking "Buttercup" the Cow
Вставка

- “The faster you go in the beginning, the more milk you get. Beginning milkers have a rough time because of this.” Alexandra King, co-owner of Inspiration Farm shows how she milks the family cow, Buttercup. A stall holds the Jersey cow in place while being milked. Alexandra emphasizes super-clean practices because her family enjoys drinking the milk raw - she keeps the animal, the stall, and all implements clean, especially her hands. She chills the milk immediately using frozen ice packs, then places the jars into ice water bins in the farm kitchen refrigerator. From this milk she makes butter, cheese, cheese starter, buttermilk, and cream. Buttercup and Alexandra have their own unique relationship. Contrary to the myth of being up in the wee hours to milk the cow, Alexandra instead has Buttercup trained for 10 am milking. And she has learned which music Buttercup prefers. (She dislikes talk radio). Enjoy the whole process! Episode 327. [inspirationfarm.com]

I have to say this is one of the best videos I've seen regarding how to milk the family cow!! Your Buttercup looks amazingly healthy. so much information in here. A lot of what you do is very similar to how I handle my goats and their milk.. thank you so much!
Thanks for this because it makes me appreciate the animal and its contribution.
Very informative video, and you are very clean with handling your cow. Great job! I am looking forward to get my cow.
Wonderful, thank you for up loading.
wow, lot's of work and I can see how it's hard to leave the farm for any length of time.
I had to look a few times at that thumbnail pic. It looked like the cow was facing the camera and was somehow reared up with its front legs out of frame. lol I think I needed more sleep last night.
IMO, milking dairy goats is so much easier! (And 'warm soapy water' to disinfect the udder and teat area is not going to kill all bacteria.)
i’m supposed to be studying for my Med Term final but i’m here.. watching someone milk a cow...
Gotta hand it to you but lots of alfalfa is GMO these days so keep an eye on that!
jersey milk the best.
А просто погладить и почесать не пробовали? Голову зажали, антибрыком перетянули, хвост привязали... вот бы хозяйке бы такую экзекуцию!
Could someone translate this into English?
Man after watching this bo one should complain about the price of mil and milk products, even that that comes from family owned large commercial production.
Ja te są tak chce

La ragazza indiana è un po'troppo pigra
gross!
Buy an electric milk machine.
Does Buttercup really want to serve humans her whole life?
Why not? Only if each and every human could serve humanity so well.
Really??? Do you see how much the Alexandra does for Buttercup? It is a symbiotic relationship...Alexandra feeds and takes amazing care of Buttercup and then in turn Buttercup gives the her amazing milk and nutrition for Alexandra's family.
how many pet cows do you have?
Buttercup is not really serving Alexandra, but the opposite is true. Buttercup is just standing there eating and eating and then eating some more and then goes out to enjoy the sunshine and eat some more.
