UPDATE: Hilda it is! Thanks for the name suggestion Artie Bentz!

I NEED naming help!!

This girl joined the herd last night. Although she’s not registered, she is A2A2 with a great milk test to back her up. She topped the pail this morning, although I’m expecting a dip in production as she adjusts to our feed ration, but hopefully not too much!

We already have cows named:
Wenda
Briska
Edna
Tilly
Goose brain (😆 don’t ask)
Fraya
Betty
Runa
Buttercup
Rosie
Posie
Nutmeg
Mable
and of course baby May

Drop all your name suggestions!!👇🏻

Tilly starts her vacation next week! All of our cows get 8 weeks off from milking before having their next calf.

This is called their dry period and I think one of the most important way to set them up for their subsequent lactation.

It allows them to pour all their energy into growing their calf instead of putting it into milk production. So for the next 2 months all Tilly hast to do is enjoy unlimited hay and long naps in the sun!

Yes the cows definitely have a better life than we do 😆

2 more registered galls joined the milk crew! Wellcome Betty and Runa to the herd 😃

Betty is an overgrown toddler and the most enthusiastic cow I’ve ever met. The second the holding gate opens its a full run to her milking stall.

Runa couldn’t be more opposite. She is completely calm with the sweetest disposition. Don’t tell Tilly but she might be becoming the new favorite!

I’m a big believer in letting cows do what they were made to do without unnecessary intervention, but there are a couple signs that tell me it’s time to take a closer look.

Does the Milking parlor now need a deep clean? Yes. Did we all survive the first night of heifer training for fall calving also yes 😅

We have three first calf heifers due so getting them used to coming into the milking area on their own, learning which stall will be theirs and what group they’re in makes a big difference in reducing stress on them when they calve in.

Cows are creatures of habit so it doesn’t take them long to get into a routine. Starting training before they calve gives us the opportunity to get them desensitized to the sounds of the milking machine and us working around their udder.

One thing that should never be done when working with heifers is stripping them before they calve 🙅🏻‍♀️ During pregnancy their body forms a natural keratin plug in the teat canal that helps keep it sealed preventing any unwanted bacteria from entering. Removing that before calving causes them to be vulnerable for mastitis.

Unpopular opinion, but I actually love getting to work with first calf heifers! Especially ones we raised from the start.

Ever wondered how raw milk gets from the tank to the bottle? 🥛

Here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at bottling time! 🤍

It’s been 67 days since we got Goose Brain, this morning she finally let me give her scratches!

Persistence is either paying off or the heat is finally melting the holes in her brain back together 😂

I think she’ll still be wearing her lead rope of shame for a while but I’ll take a step in the right direction!
