Drowning in Jersey milk; that is a fabulous predicament to be in! Margaret is the most beautiful surprise. So glad to see that all the bovine lovelies are doing well. Enjoy summer Elliott family!

Also - for those who have asked, the cheese is waxed with melted beeswax from our hives.

As an emergency room nurse during a global pandemic, life is crazy. And rough. But watching you turn cheese and butter making into such a beautiful art has made my night. I’m so thankful for this channel and your family for being my peaceful escape ✨🌻💛

Awe....I just love your cows! I grew up on a 80 acre farm. My dad and mom raised us 9 kids by milking 28 cows. That was our life. It was the best life ever. I think of how blessed your kids are to have the life of the farm. So wonderful! ❤ Thanks for sharing your homestead with us. Greetings from Wisconsin. Karen

Sometimes I wish I could do my life over so I could live the life I dream of now! Farming is such hard work and if you don’t have a partner who shares your dream then it almost becomes impossible. So I do what I can and take joy in my small accomplishments, thank you for sharing yours!

Isn't it crazy how getting back to where your food comes from makes things so much more precious. You don't just "get milk from cows" having a milk cow extends your family. That cow really dose share her milk with you and as a result you treat her like a queen and truly love her. My cow is so spoiled. Much better then the factor farming. I feel any ways.

Thing like this just brings back wonderful memories of grandparents and not knowing how hard they worked for all of us grandkids. I carry on from what grandma showed me but it's from bought stuff out of the store I make butter. Your family is wonderful for keeping the old ways going thank you.

Thank you for sharing your way of living and hard work, it's beautiful to see how tender hearted you guys are to your animals. Question: What happens to her babies?.

May I just say Thank you for respecting the sweet animals on your farm. For caring for them as you do. How very refreshing. Reminds me of my time as a child 50 years ago on an organic farm with parents that instilled in me the importance of respect for all living things. You are leaving an incredible legacy for your children and those who can see thru your eyes. Most sincerely thank you. Blessing to your sweet family and precious homestead.

I grew up in the country across a dairy farm and the funniest memory I have was when they were building a new barn a few cows got stuck up on a huge mound of dirt and others broke free and started running down the road. 😂 Such simpler and happier times back then.

This is true admiration for your beautiful cow and all she provides- given all your hard work. Huge bravo!

Shaye, you forever inspire me and for that I am grateful! Getting ready to start the cheese recipe from our cooking community and now you've inspired me to dive deeper into cheese making. Thank you for making me a better person, cook, homemaker, homeschool mama, and more. I am ever thankful for you and knowledge and thoughts you pass along!

your vids are SO SOOTHING to my soul. the more i watch,the more i want to see,but at the same time...they are making my happy and sleepy due to the calm they bring. my hubbs agrees,because hes already asleep. lol.

How sweet is that you acknowledge the importance your cow and treat her with love, kindness and respect ❤️

The ending really made me smile! I think it would be really great if you guys made videos showing your different processes for milking, fermenting, etc more in depth. I’m sure you’re both very busy but I feel like many of us would be interested in watching that. Sending your family love and light 💫

That's awesome! I remember on the farm how a Walmart bag came from some neighbor and the wind blew it up and the cows saw that bag and ran. It was kinda funny. I used to snuggle with the cow, she was so sweet.

I needed this today. Thank you Shaye!!!

Always enjoy y’all a videos! It allows me to “feel like” a homesteader for twenty minutes and see what it takes. Makes me realize, every time, the effort that is put in to keep it all going. Hats off to ya!

I thoroughly enjoyed every second of this video...I even had my husband watch it with me a second time since he grew up raising cows...this brought him a lot of nostalgia....He was intended to take over the 80 acre Farm with the 10 acre Pear and Pecan Grove here in Florida when we got married....but, his heart was pulled into a different career path.....No Regrets...but, such wonderful memories.....✌️💜💋

I know how much work keeping a cow is, plus processing all her glorious milk. You make it look magical & relaxing. Thank you for sharing.

I have been binging everything from you and Angela lately and I am so glad you posted a nice long video!!

What a beautiful journey with you this evening. I always cuddled the calves at my Aunt's dairy farm. One of the greatest memories of my younger years visiting the farm! Thank you for these precious glimpses into your beautiful home and family!

I love your gentle approach to your animals. It’s so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

I loved this video. Thank you for sharing your love, care and respect for these amazing animals. What a beautiful relationship you share with them ❤

I teared up when you were talking about your relationship with your dairy cow🥰 life is good!

We love how you do homestead. Such an inspiration to most people who would love to start their own farm. We might think you’re a pro at farming. We got valuable ideas from your video and we’re going to share your channel with our customers who want to start a farm. Thanks for creating this!

I used to make my own cheese. Your video is rekindling my want to start it again. I don’t have my own cow, but am looking into buying a milk share. Great video!

I love the way how you treat the cow,you respect them and you know the value of what those animals is give to us just love your videos ❤️

Your garden is so beautiful - what a lovely opening for your video. Stunning!

It is amazing, how much they just know what to do and the love they have for their babies,, Humans many times need to learn from them 🙏💕

Oh my, what wonderful surprise! Both calfs are beautiful and very sweet. I have to agree with you about loving being on the farm and there is" no where else you would rather be." I am feeling filled with gratitude for our little 3 acre farm.

Beautiful! An amazing amount of work. You and your family are healthier for it.

Starting planning homestead, a follower from Philippines thanks to inspirapition Shaye and thanks to your beautiful family...

A new calf is always so precious.

What a beautiful video of your life living in the country. This really pulled at my heart strings and I shed a tear at the end. I've always wanted a milk cow and one day I will have one. Thanks for sharing this. You and your husband have such beautiful voices that is so relaxing. God bless you and your farm for years to come.

As a butcheress I appreciate the respect you show towards your animals, and that you are teaching your children this value as well.

What a lovely video! Thank you guys!

This episode was soooo good! I love this so much. Thank you for sharing your life!

You guys are blessed in every way! Keep up the great work!

This video is so calming. I really loved it. Thank you!

I made my first cheese this year. I made mozzarella and ricotta. We used 1 gallon of milk fresh from a farm. It was so much fun. We got butter too. I was able to show my daughter and grandchildren how to do this. It was so amazing to show the kids where it really comes from

Your perseverance is commendable. 10 years on sourdough bread! You're an inspiration. I will always think of you and your sourdough bread when I feel like quiting.

Its so good you now have a calf who can continue milk production and another calf to sustain you from the freezer. You have been truly blessed xx

I am so happy to have found you guys. What a great channel to pull at the head strings. Thank you for sharing.

I literally cheered when it said you had a new video ❤️. That must have been such an amazing and scary surprise to get Margaret congrats ! Do you think you could do a sour dough bread tutorial with einkorn for us one day 😘

Simply gorgeous. You present all of this so beautifully! You are hard workers!We live on a 57 cow family commercial farm and it is a lot of work and yet such a beautiful way of life. Thank you for taking the time to share this inspiration with the world! Happy cheesemaking!

Loved watching!! The farm, growing producing, and making from your intimate relationship with the land. Somewhere in every family there is a surprise baby. Margaret is beautiful, just look at those eyelashes! Thank you for sharing your life.

Thank you for inspiring, motivating and simply making my life better by sharing yours. I am ever so grateful.

You are such an inspiration.Your farm is beautiful and I wish you love and peace for all your hard working days ahead.you friend from North Carolina

We did a family dairy cow for 11 years... made a lot of cheese. If the wax doesn't work out for you, try vacuum sealing the cheese. That ended up being the most effective for us. Wax sometimes ends up with mold between the cheese and the wax.

This is making me rethink my plans to get goats... Maybe I do need to talk my husband into a cow :)

This one just really made me smile....I loved this.

A dairy cow has been on my wish list for awhile ... what a beautiful way you look at the world. Please keep sharing your inspiration!

Today is my birthday and what a wonderful way to start my day! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and all it's moving parts. Your commentary is always thought provoking and educational. I would love to see individual videos on each process for cheese making, butter & yogurt making. Congratulations on your two new babies! So easy to see how you fall in love with all of them!

You are artists at heart. Thank you.

This video just made me want to cry 🥺 thank you so much for sharing your journey 💗

What a great video and so much work went into that. I truly enjoyed it. The life of farming can be such a challenge but so rewarding and yet freeing at the same time. You are certainly living the dream. God bless you Elliott's.

And forgot to mention little Margaret. She is so sweet to. That was a lovely surprise for sure if unknown. Nature is so so beautiful.

Enjoyed every second of this , the beauty and gifts from nature is AMAZING. Thank you.

Loved watching your love and life in your homestead ♥️🙏😇 Bless your family.

There's so much in this video, more like a movie! Thank you.

What an exciting surprise at the end! Congratulations! I just got my first bottle calf (a heifer) and will also be getting a bred heifer in September. Can't wait!

What a beautiful cow and watching the cheese making process was very satisfying :)

Cutest baby cows ever this made my day love Mike it is a gift have a great evening you guys till next time

Really enjoyed seeing this video! I've never done cheese, though I have wanted to try. Time to step out of the butter/yogurt box. Thank you guys for sharing the process and the cuteness!

Very well made video. Loved the narrative, is beautiful. Thanks!!!!!!

Beautiful video! Love your honesty on the cheese making.

Thank you for the kind video. We are also beginner farmers. God willing, we will make cheese, cottage cheese. Hello from Kyrgyzstan (Central Asia)❤

The best part about life is you never stop learning. You have to make mistakes whenever you learn. The more the better! That's how we learn and it's very much like practice. Practice makes perfect. If we do not keep going then it will be all for nothing. Never giving up and passionately pushing through the tough parts is what enables us to persevere! I have always dreamt of having my own dairy cow. Because I know my children can drink up to a gallon of milk a day. They love dairy raw milk more than anything. I love making the homemade yogurt and the different cheeses, labneh, mozzarella, farmer's cheese, and I love being able to grow alongside my garden and animals. It took me 9 years to master my bread making skills. And 5 years to master the perfect tomato sauce for pizza making. And our homemade tortillas took another 7 years to master the perfect texture that wasn't too hard as they cooled down. The best part is practicing everything. And I am always happy to watch your videos. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Congrats on you beautiful bounty and healthy baby calves. Awwwwww

Absolutely love love loved it! Your ‘Little House on Prairie’. Sustainability at its Best!

These are the videos I watch again, and again, and again. They are so mesmerizing. Enchanting. Stunning. Inspiring! I can't get enough. ♡ Your animals look so peaceful and happy. ♡ I'm crossing my fingers for your cheese! I'm sure it will be perfect. ♡
