  1. Brought back memories. Been almost 50 years since I milked a cow. Looks like nothing has changed…ha! Glad Belle and baby are doing great. I know you are doing your part in taking care of them. Planning on a trip to Deleno next week…running low on some things we don't raise in our garden. Looking forward to your next video. Thanks!

  2. Hi, Love the videos.  One question – Do you pasteurise your milk or not?  I am getting ready to head to the country and setup a little homestead in Australia and looking at getting a pasteuriser to treat the milk.

  3. I use to milk our cows when I was growing up. Not an easy job. I am currently having flashbacks of getting up way before daylight, heat, horse flies, house flies, sweating, kicking, foot in the milk pail and the multiple tale slaps to the face. Your attitude is awesome. You are one strong spirited lady. God bless, and keep the awesome videos coming. Who behind the camera?

  4. Just curious: Why do you freeze your milk before you refrigerate it? My mother milked 2 cows twice a day for many years.  We strained the milk through a gauze filter into glass gallon jars and put it straight into the fridge.

  5. I really enjoy your videos! Got a question… will you ever use a portable milking machine? I want to make the jump to raising a cow soon, however I think I would need some help since my hands get stiff. Lol…I'm not a young chick anymore!!
