GETTING A HOUSE COW - Collecting our new Rare Breed Cows 🐄
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We did it, we got our own cows and we found some Gloucesters! It's the final piece of the jigsaw and probably our biggest farming challenge yet. Keeping cows is one thing but milking and eventually switching to a calf share setup is going to be a lot of work and lots of learning.
Thanks to Jonathan Crump for his wisdom and beautiful cows, check out he's famous cheeses here. jonathancrumpsgloucesterchees...

The wife thinks Jo is looking radiant?🤗
You must both be really proud of your eldest what a great kid so helpful and brave and clearly loves farming
All three children are delightful. They are so well behaved, and a credit to their parents.
Seems like another announcement is on the way also. 🤭

I only came on to see if I was the only one thinking it!😂
I just love the chicken in your car. 😂 what beautiful cows, and to see the girls so happy around them is just lovely
i hadnt thought that an old cow would be a good idea - but I really get your choice now !

Also means that we are not overloaded with milk, a young jersey and we would be swimming in it! 3-4 litres a day off the old good still adds up though and soon to be two. 😬
Eden is a natural at milking! So impressed! All 3 of your children are going to have a wonderful childhood growing up on your farm. Not only learning about the animals but seeing the hard work of both parents. Another chapter begins! 🐄🐄
"What has my life become?" you asked rhetorically at the end there. Children learning life lessons on a working farm, growing up with chores and responsibilities, acres of pastures and soon to be a dream of a main house. I can only hope and work toward something similar. A simple life; maybe not. But better...maybe. You'll decide that as the years roll on. I think it'll prove to be a wonderful move for your family.
Just woke Mrs up out loud laughing at the “pretty sure there’s a chicken asleep in my car”….and the following confirmation/shooing out. 😂😂 We have 6 chickens. One had to spend the night in our bathroom recently as was under the weather and needed to be kept an eye on. Love the idea of one of them constantly sneaking into my pickup 😂
My favourite KZread family. The more of you and your animals the better!
Ok so I'm a 36 year old man's man and this video made me cry , one day this is what I want for my children
I'm thinking at about the 6 minute mark you either need to get better lenses that don't distort as much, or the very slender and petit Jo is working on a special "project"? Really enjoy this channel, love seeing the additions both by birth and purchase. Subscribed tonight.
Jonathan uses the milk for cheesemaking, the smaller fat globules are ideal for that. A Jersey with bigger fat globules is ideal for cream and butter making, we had Jersey house cows and my mother made clotted cream (let the milk stand for some time and then heat on the Rayburn), this was turned into butter. A Shorthorn would be a more general purpose cow, she would also be capable of producing a really good beef cross calf, I learnt to hand milk on one of my father's Shorthorns. Both the Gloucester and Shorthorn are fairly rare, the Jersey is found in many large commercial herds.
Everyone needs a cow!
Love the cows, just worried about the horns! 😍🐄 😮
Watched Funky Farmer a couple of days ago and learnt all about Gloucesters. Sounds like the perfect breed for a House Cow and for a Family . Good luck and look forward to watching how it all goes forward.
I lost count of how many times I LOL'd watching this! 😄
Nice cow
Well what a day, great learning tool. They will be well looked after.
Just what you need more chores.
Cows!!!!!! Looks like a few positive tests around the farm 🤔
Raw milk is so good for you!
Watch those children. Livestock cause so many accidents even the docile ones can hurt you.
Once you get used to milking her and keep her nice and friendly and well handled you could milk her standing in the field and you have nice milk for breakfast. Keep the videos coming.

Yeah it’s been outdoor morning milking all week. Probably easier to walk them up once machine milked though. 👍
👍
Alpacas next???
And so the farm family grows, pigs, sheep, goats and now a cow. Only thing missing is a horse for the girls, and not forgetting the chucks.

And Eden looking more like one of the farm lasses every time,,,,,, eighteen months she'll but running the place, 😉 Good luck with calving hope its smooth and easy 👍
Awesome 👍🏻
“They just slip out”?? Was the swimming pool just practice for digging holes you can’t get out of???

We have cows in the field next to us, we just don’t have to look after them :) Good luck with them.

Yeah I should have been content just looking out at next door's herd but always loved the idea of micro dairying or at least producing all our own for now. Definitely quicker to pop to the shops though! 😬
How on earth will you find the time to look after cows?
Not good they are not dehorned. They can hurt you and other cattle

You should always milk a cow from behind it cannot kick backwards
