Are you interested in getting a milk cow but never milked a cow before? Do you want to learn about dairy cow feed, minerals, genetics and more?
Come milk with me! I have 2 cows in milk - Tumble, a Jersey that we machine milk and hobble and then, Diana, a Jersey who we hand milk. We rotationally graze our cows Spring - Fall with free choice minerals. This is a great opportunity to come see the difference between hand milking and machine milking, our cleaning routine, and what kind of care goes into our dairy animals.
I can't guarentee you will get to have your hands on the teet since animals have their own personality, but I will let you be as involved as you want to be if the situation allows for it.
$20/person and only 2 attendees/date so that we don't overwhelm the cows. Pick the date that works best for you! Milking is at 7am and takes about 1 hour. Plan for 1.5 hours so we can make sure we get all your questions answered. Kids 12 and older can sign up with a parent/guardian. Kids 12 and under are free, however you will be responsible for keeping them safe in the pasture. It is advised to not bring really young kids that have a hard time keeping movements slow with you so you can be more hands on and engaged.
If you are interested in milking with me and cannot attend a wednesday, email us thelivinglandranch@gmail.com so that we can plan a date that works for you.
