Fear not the harsh winter with the cloak made from soft and fluffy wool
Liziqi posted the article • 0 comments • 151 views • 2019-09-17 10:07
Traded for some wool with leftover silk pouches earlier~ Threaded, dyed and knitted a cloak! For everyone's convenience (especially if you don't want hassle), I (she) incorporated braiding into the knitting technique (braid first and then knit). Easy and simple for making clothing, blankets, and scarves! view all

Drops of peach blossoms. Simmered into a pot of early spring dessert - peach gum
Liziqi posted the article • 0 comments • 153 views • 2019-09-17 10:06
Drops of peach blossoms across miles of peach trees. Winter has been replaced by spring. Maybe I am tired, I am just unable to tolerate greasy food. Soak the peach gums overnight, add snow fungus, jujube red dates and simmer till thickened. Then add some rock sugar, goji berries and dried fruits! The colour is as deep as amber yet as vibrant as peach blossoms at the same time... view all

Exquisite drunken crabs: freshness known only when drunk

Crab feet itchy, means it's full of eggs! Pick a few crabs sent by the elders, steam them, and soak in the wine. Sweet fruit aromas seeping into crab eggs, accentuating the freshness within the crab, Pry open the shell, the crab yellow ruddy, the crab meat glistening. Fragrance spreads in all directions momentarily, the tender meat still retains its freshness. The sweet and delicate wine is not intoxicating, yet the people are drunk... view all

The number of sugar merchants using the traditional methods of sugar-making is diminishing, Over ten kilograms of sugar cane would only produce a kilo of brown sugar. Traditional brown sugar is good for ladies. I made a version to show how to make brown sugar using traditional methods at home, those who are interested can give it a try. view all

Shu Embroidery: Traditional Chinese Craft that Has Existed for Thousands of Years
Liziqi posted the article • 0 comments • 157 views • 2019-09-17 09:52
Every stitch is a story of time, every thread a piece of culture. Thousands of years of customs that have ever existed in the land of Shu (present-day Sichuan) are sewn within Shu embroidery. The cycle of winter and spring continues, it's yet another year. Thousands of years have been carried away by the river of time, but the beauty of Shu embroidery has remained unchanged. I wish more and more people would see the beauty of traditional Chinese culture. A belated Qixi present for you (Qixi is the Chinese equivalent of Valentine's Day). Wish you peace and happiness. view all

Similar to last year, this year (we) also set up a pumpkin road. Those which have not had time to eat have grown into sweet and glutenous old pumpkins. Steamed pumpkin, pumpkin rice, salted egg yolk pumpkin, pumpkin milk ~ My grandmother can eat pumpkins three meals a day and won't be fed up. Matched it with Red bean and Coix seed flour to make a drink to get rid of the slightly wet and toxins from staying up late recently. view all

I planted shiitake mushrooms in the mountain!
Liziqi posted the article • 0 comments • 156 views • 2019-09-17 09:49
We don't have wild shiitake mushrooms here, so I decided to grow them myself. This time, I planted spawns into the holes I made around the tree trunk before. If the season is suitable, the mushrooms will be sprouting one after another in less than six months. I planted them at the top of the mountain because first, the temperature up there is low; second, this way they won't get picked by others. I picked out the better quality ones and made them into sauce. You can have it all the way through summer. view all

Cool and sweet berry ice cream, the taste of summer |

From the tail end of spring to the peak of summer, I've been trying out a different way of preserving fresh fruit. I used to make old-fashioned popsicles every year. This year I decided to up my game. So I made various kinds of delicious, sweet ice cream with berries, egg, and milk. This recipe is simple and tasty, but there's too much sugar and energy content. Elders can't eat too much of it. And also you! Put that ice cream down! (hands on waist, serious face) view all

Participated in the Asian Civilization Dialogue Conference in the middle of last month. President Xi said in the opening ceremony: Diversity spurs interaction among civilizations, which in turn promotes mutual learning and their further development. The first thing came to my mind is pot kiln when I heard this. Just notice, the interaction among civilizations has already penetrated into every aspect of each of us unconsciously. It's the wheat-harvesting season. I grinded the new flour and made the Maimai wine (a nourishing wine for postpartum women). And I brewed beer with techniques originated from other culture! view all

It's yet another flowering season for lotus. I found some lotus flowers, leaves, rhizomes, and roots, and made several congenial summer dishes. The rest of the lotus roots were used to make a dessert dedicated to my grandma - lotus powder with sweet osmanthus flowers and nuts. That, coupled with a sip of lotus tea, will make you so happy that you'll sigh about the transience of summer.

(Liuzhou "Luosifen" is also known as Liuzhou rice noodles with river snails.) Summer is the on-season for processing sweet bamboo shoots. I made some pickled bamboo shoots. River snails and pork bones are stewed for hours to make a delicious stock. A handful of rice noodles, a few slices of vegetables, pickled bamboo shoots and green beans, chunks of "wood ear" fungus and dried daikon radish. Just before serving, sprinkle it up with pan-fried peanuts and tofu skin, and add a spoonful of chili oil. Sour, pungent, savory, mouthwatering, and steaming - this is how a bowl of Liuzhou "Luosifen", the legendary cuisine that has been listed as one of the intangible cultural heritages of China, is made.

It has become almost a pattern for me: every year when yellow peaches are ripe, I make the exact same things as I did last year - canned yellow peaches, jam, and dried peaches... This year, I also picked out some soft ones and made yellow peach wine out of them. I tried this "vanilla & yellow peach & roasted ribs" recipe which I thought was gonna be a gruesome combination, but it turned out to be finger-licking delicious!

00:00:03,779 --> 00:00:06,809
I do today that is homestead work
4
00:00:07,009 --> 00:00:17,919
starting now the boys are fertilizing
5
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:20,409
these greens with fish fertilizer and
6
00:00:20,609 --> 00:00:22,210
they're just pouring it down each line
7
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:24,159
with a pretty concentrated fish
8
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:26,169
fertilizer and then we'll water this bed
9
00:00:26,368 --> 00:00:30,589
when we're done pull out those plants
10
00:00:31,989 --> 00:00:52,498
[Music]
11
00:00:52,698 --> 00:00:54,779
as much as possible it's planning dirt
12
00:00:54,979 --> 00:00:57,669
not in the newer
13
00:00:57,869 --> 00:01:00,498
and then just make sure that if you have
14
00:01:00,698 --> 00:01:01,849
locked the brakes make sure they get to
15
00:01:02,049 --> 00:01:03,419
spread out
16
00:01:03,619 --> 00:01:06,119
is that we want oil around them as much
17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,019
as all the raspberries are in and two
18
00:01:10,219 --> 00:01:12,750
other berry plants raspberries elder
19
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:14,369
various at the bottom justice is
20
00:01:14,569 --> 00:01:15,689
watering them and then it's breakfast
21
00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:17,429
time you got the dirt baby and we're
22
00:01:17,629 --> 00:01:19,528
gonna go eat breakfast we're dirt baby
23
00:01:19,728 --> 00:01:21,450
we're checking the cow for subclinical
24
00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:24,689
mastitis so I've got these four jars to
25
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:27,569
take samples from four quarters to the
26
00:01:27,769 --> 00:01:30,750
barn to milk after chasing a goat that
27
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:45,079
was out here's my right back left back
28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,558
her left front and her right front now
29
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:53,969
we'll just finish smoking out her
30
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:54,939
backside
31
00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:03,540
[Music]
32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:25,810
[Music]
33
00:02:29,889 --> 00:02:46,920
more raspberry plants came in to mail we
34
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,300
have four Triple Crowns blackberries
35
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:55,140
three black Jim blackberries I can't
36
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:57,989
pronounce these we watch cheetah
37
00:02:58,188 --> 00:03:02,969
blackberries six double gold raspberries
38
00:03:03,169 --> 00:03:07,230
and four characters these plants we will
39
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:08,700
not be planting today they have to be
40
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:10,980
hardened off which means introduced
41
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,509
slowly to direct sunlight they've
42
00:03:12,709 --> 00:03:14,129
probably been grown in a greenhouse or
43
00:03:14,329 --> 00:03:16,289
under State cloth and you can kill them
44
00:03:16,489 --> 00:03:17,310
if you just put them straight out in the
45
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:19,050
Sun so we'll let them get about two or
46
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:21,269
three hours of Sun today and each day
47
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:24,118
for the next couple days and then we'll
48
00:03:24,318 --> 00:03:25,980
plan them out next it's time for a quick
49
00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:27,989
herbal orientation for this guy who
50
00:03:28,188 --> 00:03:30,330
might be sent to run herb errands for
51
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:33,149
cooking so you know green onions right
52
00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:36,659
pay attention now okay ready cilantro
53
00:03:36,859 --> 00:03:38,789
this one's dill if she wants to do
54
00:03:38,989 --> 00:03:40,368
that's what she wants this is chives
55
00:03:40,568 --> 00:03:42,539
it's kind of like onions but it's like
56
00:03:42,739 --> 00:03:45,929
tiny in this oregano this is called
57
00:03:46,128 --> 00:03:49,890
oregano this is called time this one is
58
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:54,439
called sage this one is summer savory
59
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,939
she wanted oregano when we send you out
60
00:03:57,139 --> 00:03:59,759
to get herbs take scissors and just clip
61
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:01,020
off little pieces like that
62
00:04:01,219 --> 00:04:08,279
okay we're using this portable somatic
63
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:11,129
cell count kit to detect subclinical
64
00:04:11,329 --> 00:04:12,779
mastitis now I didn't tell you why we're
65
00:04:12,979 --> 00:04:15,719
doing this we're doing this because when
66
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,718
we got Alice the milk cow her milk at
67
00:04:18,918 --> 00:04:22,110
least from back quarters tasted salty
68
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:24,600
salty tasting milk can be a sign of
69
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,699
mastitis we've also been reading about
70
00:04:26,899 --> 00:04:29,040
it and there's a lot of other possible
71
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,449
reasons there's actually a ton of people
72
00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:33,019
right now on all the online cow boards
73
00:04:33,218 --> 00:04:35,189
posting about their salty tasting milk
74
00:04:35,389 --> 00:04:37,110
we're gonna do this test though this may
75
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:39,809
help us know if she actually
76
00:04:40,009 --> 00:04:41,910
besides the concern would be that she
77
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:43,588
might be like in an early stage of
78
00:04:43,788 --> 00:04:47,100
mastitis she actually her milk looks
79
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,519
great and her udder looks fine so a lot
80
00:04:50,718 --> 00:04:53,429
is reassuring and we're gonna refer back
81
00:04:53,629 --> 00:04:55,709
to our instructions that Wilders eating
82
00:04:55,908 --> 00:04:59,968
four drops in milk okay we're okay no we
83
00:05:00,168 --> 00:05:02,549
only need four drops of milk on each one
84
00:05:02,749 --> 00:05:07,169
of these three four we're gonna rinse
85
00:05:07,369 --> 00:05:09,629
that out and then four drops of
86
00:05:09,829 --> 00:05:13,829
developer on each trip we've got to wait
87
00:05:14,028 --> 00:05:15,359
five minutes so while we're waiting I'm
88
00:05:15,559 --> 00:05:17,489
gonna taste all these milks I'm just
89
00:05:17,689 --> 00:05:31,170
tasting the left-back salty you're right
90
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:34,538
back tastes really good to me
91
00:05:34,749 --> 00:05:37,649
right front tastes good left front
92
00:05:37,848 --> 00:05:38,879
tastes good they all taste good at the
93
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:40,439
left back though tastes bad here's the
94
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,139
test results left front is white right
95
00:05:43,338 --> 00:05:47,218
front right back and then here is the
96
00:05:47,418 --> 00:05:49,679
left back and what we're supposed to do
97
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:52,649
is compare the color to this test strip
98
00:05:52,848 --> 00:05:54,569
honestly it's closest to this one which
99
00:05:54,769 --> 00:06:02,639
is 1500 cells times a thousand from Noli
100
00:06:02,838 --> 00:06:04,379
so it looks like she may have mastitis
101
00:06:04,579 --> 00:06:06,899
in her left back quarter this too this
102
00:06:07,098 --> 00:06:08,670
isn't a definitive diagnostic test
103
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:10,468
format size but it looks like she
104
00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:14,189
probably does so we have some learning
105
00:06:14,389 --> 00:06:16,528
to do about treating mastitis we're
106
00:06:16,728 --> 00:06:18,059
doing everything right now we're milking
107
00:06:18,259 --> 00:06:19,920
her out in that back left quarter
108
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,559
especially and her milk actually looks
109
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,329
good it's not really it's not chunky or
110
00:06:24,528 --> 00:06:27,430
gloppy or anything
111
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:31,960
this is by far my least favorite thing
112
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,360
that we do around here I'm gonna dis bud
113
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,449
all the goats there's a lot of reasons
114
00:06:37,649 --> 00:06:41,430
we do this I do think that it's not
115
00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:43,509
necessary if you're planning on keeping
116
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:46,420
a goat but most people buying goats
117
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:49,540
expect it and it would be a big turn-off
118
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,000
to many people but we're going to knock
119
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:53,590
it out really quick and let these babies
120
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:57,830
go back to their mum
121
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:03,559
all right you're done let's get you back
122
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:07,520
to mommy now it's lucky to Luckys turn
123
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,910
poor little lady sorry girl
124
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:12,910
and that was Molly's turn sorry lady
125
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:18,079
alright she's done these babies they're
126
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:19,278
not gonna probably let me get close
127
00:07:19,478 --> 00:07:21,468
they're gonna say we remember what you
128
00:07:21,668 --> 00:07:23,960
just did to us hey guys
129
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,929
a little burnt heads you guys are cute
130
00:07:29,129 --> 00:07:31,939
and that should be the lastest Budig I
131
00:07:32,139 --> 00:07:35,689
have to do this year she that calf is
132
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:37,850
polled and we don't have a name for yet
133
00:07:38,050 --> 00:07:40,338
that calf and this guy you can see his
134
00:07:40,538 --> 00:07:42,290
horns I'm gonna let his horns grow
135
00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:44,959
though I'll tell you why because he's
136
00:07:45,158 --> 00:07:46,730
gonna be beefed within a year he's a
137
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:48,350
good size two month old calf he's gonna
138
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:50,540
be beefed within a year we're not we
139
00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:53,149
don't have to sell him yeah I just don't
140
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:54,588
think it's gonna be a problem so he'll
141
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:56,329
have some little horns by the time we
142
00:07:56,528 --> 00:07:57,739
eat but Sherman you can probably hear
143
00:07:57,939 --> 00:07:59,359
Breanna is mowing down here and you
144
00:07:59,559 --> 00:08:00,739
might say why aren't you mowing you're
145
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:03,439
the man between us that's the more
146
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:05,838
favorable job rather than we're doing
147
00:08:06,038 --> 00:08:07,910
work with this guy in your back I love
148
00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:09,829
wearing this guy but it just makes it
149
00:08:10,028 --> 00:08:12,619
hard to do work and so that is the job
150
00:08:12,819 --> 00:08:14,509
that both of us wanted she's doing it
151
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:17,749
last time she mowed was the day that he
152
00:08:17,949 --> 00:08:21,079

before this is where our blueberries are
159
00:08:33,668 --> 00:08:35,269

inside this box or fence post pick tail
176
00:09:16,958 --> 00:09:19,188
fence post for rotational grazing we've
177
00:09:19,389 --> 00:09:21,559
been wanting to actually rotationally
178
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,289
graze our pasture forever and we're just
179
00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:25,519
now getting the equipment where it's
180
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,129
actually feasible to do it
181
00:09:42,698 --> 00:09:44,459
well folks it's 5:30
182
00:09:44,659 --> 00:09:46,969
I didn't get done everything on my list
183
00:09:47,169 --> 00:09:49,618
actually I was hoping to rototiller the
184
00:09:49,818 --> 00:09:51,659
garden today but there was a lot of goat
185
00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:53,308
chasing you didn't see unfortunately I
186
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:55,139
fixed that there was a hole in the fence
187
00:09:55,339 --> 00:09:57,238
basically where the buck was squeezing
188
00:09:57,438 --> 00:09:59,368
out through the fence and he got out I
189
00:09:59,568 --> 00:10:02,248
think four times he took one bite off a
190
00:10:02,448 --> 00:10:07,919
cherry tree buck this has been another
191
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,188
great day on the homestead I'll see you
192
00:10:11,389 --> 00:10:12,839

that because this in white now and that
197
00:10:20,899 --> 00:10:24,188
white just pops up all the colors

Transcript:
1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:01,600
good morning everybody today for this
2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,579

00:00:03,779 --> 00:00:06,809
I do today that is homestead work
4
00:00:07,009 --> 00:00:17,919
starting now the boys are fertilizing
5
00:00:18,118 --> 00:00:20,409
these greens with fish fertilizer and
6
00:00:20,609 --> 00:00:22,210
they're just pouring it down each line
7
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:24,159
with a pretty concentrated fish
8
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:26,169
fertilizer and then we'll water this bed
9
00:00:26,368 --> 00:00:30,589
when we're done pull out those plants
10
00:00:31,989 --> 00:00:52,498
[Music]
11
00:00:52,698 --> 00:00:54,779
as much as possible it's planning dirt
12
00:00:54,979 --> 00:00:57,669
not in the newer
13
00:00:57,869 --> 00:01:00,498
and then just make sure that if you have
14
00:01:00,698 --> 00:01:01,849
locked the brakes make sure they get to
15
00:01:02,049 --> 00:01:03,419
spread out
16
00:01:03,619 --> 00:01:06,119
is that we want oil around them as much
17
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,019
as all the raspberries are in and two
18
00:01:10,219 --> 00:01:12,750

20
00:01:14,569 --> 00:01:15,689
watering them and then it's breakfast
21
00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:17,429
time you got the dirt baby and we're
22
00:01:17,629 --> 00:01:19,528
gonna go eat breakfast we're dirt baby
23
00:01:19,728 --> 00:01:21,450
we're checking the cow for subclinical
24
00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:24,689
mastitis so I've got these four jars to
25
00:01:24,890 --> 00:01:27,569
take samples from four quarters to the
26
00:01:27,769 --> 00:01:30,750
barn to milk after chasing a goat that
27
00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:45,079
was out here's my right back left back
28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,558
her left front and her right front now
29
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:53,969
we'll just finish smoking out her
30
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:54,939
backside
31
00:01:55,140 --> 00:02:03,540
[Music]
32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:25,810
[Music]
33
00:02:29,889 --> 00:02:46,920
more raspberry plants came in to mail we
34
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,300
have four Triple Crowns blackberries
35
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:55,140
three black Jim blackberries I can't
36
00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:57,989
pronounce these we watch cheetah
37
00:02:58,188 --> 00:03:02,969
blackberries six double gold raspberries
38
00:03:03,169 --> 00:03:07,230
and four characters these plants we will
39
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:08,700
not be planting today they have to be
40
00:03:08,900 --> 00:03:10,980
hardened off which means introduced
41
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:12,509
slowly to direct sunlight they've
42
00:03:12,709 --> 00:03:14,129
probably been grown in a greenhouse or
43
00:03:14,329 --> 00:03:16,289
under State cloth and you can kill them
44
00:03:16,489 --> 00:03:17,310
if you just put them straight out in the
45
00:03:17,509 --> 00:03:19,050
Sun so we'll let them get about two or
46
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:21,269
three hours of Sun today and each day
47
00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:24,118
for the next couple days and then we'll
48
00:03:24,318 --> 00:03:25,980
plan them out next it's time for a quick
49
00:03:26,180 --> 00:03:27,989
herbal orientation for this guy who
50
00:03:28,188 --> 00:03:30,330
might be sent to run herb errands for
51
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:33,149
cooking so you know green onions right
52
00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:36,659
pay attention now okay ready cilantro
53
00:03:36,859 --> 00:03:38,789
this one's dill if she wants to do
54
00:03:38,989 --> 00:03:40,368
that's what she wants this is chives
55
00:03:40,568 --> 00:03:42,539
it's kind of like onions but it's like
56
00:03:42,739 --> 00:03:45,929
tiny in this oregano this is called
57
00:03:46,128 --> 00:03:49,890
oregano this is called time this one is
58
00:03:50,090 --> 00:03:54,439
called sage this one is summer savory
59
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:56,939
she wanted oregano when we send you out
60
00:03:57,139 --> 00:03:59,759
to get herbs take scissors and just clip
61
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:01,020
off little pieces like that
62
00:04:01,219 --> 00:04:08,279
okay we're using this portable somatic
63
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:11,129
cell count kit to detect subclinical
64
00:04:11,329 --> 00:04:12,779
mastitis now I didn't tell you why we're
65
00:04:12,979 --> 00:04:15,719
doing this we're doing this because when
66
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,718
we got Alice the milk cow her milk at
67
00:04:18,918 --> 00:04:22,110
least from back quarters tasted salty
68
00:04:22,310 --> 00:04:24,600
salty tasting milk can be a sign of
69
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,699
mastitis we've also been reading about
70
00:04:26,899 --> 00:04:29,040
it and there's a lot of other possible
71
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,449
reasons there's actually a ton of people
72
00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:33,019
right now on all the online cow boards
73
00:04:33,218 --> 00:04:35,189
posting about their salty tasting milk
74
00:04:35,389 --> 00:04:37,110
we're gonna do this test though this may
75
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:39,809
help us know if she actually
76
00:04:40,009 --> 00:04:41,910
besides the concern would be that she
77
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:43,588
might be like in an early stage of
78
00:04:43,788 --> 00:04:47,100
mastitis she actually her milk looks
79
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,519
great and her udder looks fine so a lot
80
00:04:50,718 --> 00:04:53,429
is reassuring and we're gonna refer back
81
00:04:53,629 --> 00:04:55,709
to our instructions that Wilders eating
82
00:04:55,908 --> 00:04:59,968
four drops in milk okay we're okay no we
83
00:05:00,168 --> 00:05:02,549
only need four drops of milk on each one
84
00:05:02,749 --> 00:05:07,169
of these three four we're gonna rinse
85
00:05:07,369 --> 00:05:09,629
that out and then four drops of
86
00:05:09,829 --> 00:05:13,829
developer on each trip we've got to wait
87
00:05:14,028 --> 00:05:15,359
five minutes so while we're waiting I'm
88
00:05:15,559 --> 00:05:17,489
gonna taste all these milks I'm just
89
00:05:17,689 --> 00:05:31,170
tasting the left-back salty you're right
90
00:05:31,370 --> 00:05:34,538
back tastes really good to me
91
00:05:34,749 --> 00:05:37,649
right front tastes good left front
92
00:05:37,848 --> 00:05:38,879
tastes good they all taste good at the
93
00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:40,439
left back though tastes bad here's the
94
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:43,139
test results left front is white right
95
00:05:43,338 --> 00:05:47,218
front right back and then here is the
96
00:05:47,418 --> 00:05:49,679
left back and what we're supposed to do
97
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:52,649
is compare the color to this test strip
98
00:05:52,848 --> 00:05:54,569
honestly it's closest to this one which
99
00:05:54,769 --> 00:06:02,639
is 1500 cells times a thousand from Noli
100
00:06:02,838 --> 00:06:04,379
so it looks like she may have mastitis
101
00:06:04,579 --> 00:06:06,899
in her left back quarter this too this
102
00:06:07,098 --> 00:06:08,670
isn't a definitive diagnostic test
103
00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:10,468
format size but it looks like she
104
00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:14,189
probably does so we have some learning
105
00:06:14,389 --> 00:06:16,528
to do about treating mastitis we're
106
00:06:16,728 --> 00:06:18,059
doing everything right now we're milking
107
00:06:18,259 --> 00:06:19,920
her out in that back left quarter
108
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,559
especially and her milk actually looks
109
00:06:22,759 --> 00:06:24,329
good it's not really it's not chunky or
110
00:06:24,528 --> 00:06:27,430
gloppy or anything
111
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:31,960
this is by far my least favorite thing
112
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,360
that we do around here I'm gonna dis bud
113
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,449
all the goats there's a lot of reasons
114
00:06:37,649 --> 00:06:41,430
we do this I do think that it's not
115
00:06:41,629 --> 00:06:43,509
necessary if you're planning on keeping
116
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:46,420
a goat but most people buying goats
117
00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:49,540
expect it and it would be a big turn-off
118
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:52,000
to many people but we're going to knock
119
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:53,590
it out really quick and let these babies
120
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:57,830
go back to their mum
121
00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:03,559
all right you're done let's get you back
122
00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:07,520
to mommy now it's lucky to Luckys turn
123
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,910
poor little lady sorry girl
124
00:07:10,110 --> 00:07:12,910
and that was Molly's turn sorry lady
125
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:18,079
alright she's done these babies they're
126
00:07:18,279 --> 00:07:19,278
not gonna probably let me get close
127
00:07:19,478 --> 00:07:21,468
they're gonna say we remember what you
128
00:07:21,668 --> 00:07:23,960
just did to us hey guys
129
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,929
a little burnt heads you guys are cute
130
00:07:29,129 --> 00:07:31,939
and that should be the lastest Budig I
131
00:07:32,139 --> 00:07:35,689
have to do this year she that calf is
132
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:37,850
polled and we don't have a name for yet
133
00:07:38,050 --> 00:07:40,338
that calf and this guy you can see his
134
00:07:40,538 --> 00:07:42,290
horns I'm gonna let his horns grow
135
00:07:42,490 --> 00:07:44,959
though I'll tell you why because he's
136
00:07:45,158 --> 00:07:46,730
gonna be beefed within a year he's a
137
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:48,350
good size two month old calf he's gonna
138
00:07:48,550 --> 00:07:50,540
be beefed within a year we're not we
139
00:07:50,740 --> 00:07:53,149
don't have to sell him yeah I just don't
140
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:54,588
think it's gonna be a problem so he'll
141
00:07:54,788 --> 00:07:56,329
have some little horns by the time we
142
00:07:56,528 --> 00:07:57,739
eat but Sherman you can probably hear
143
00:07:57,939 --> 00:07:59,359
Breanna is mowing down here and you
144
00:07:59,559 --> 00:08:00,739
might say why aren't you mowing you're
145
00:08:00,939 --> 00:08:03,439
the man between us that's the more
146
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:05,838
favorable job rather than we're doing
147
00:08:06,038 --> 00:08:07,910
work with this guy in your back I love
148
00:08:08,110 --> 00:08:09,829
wearing this guy but it just makes it
149
00:08:10,028 --> 00:08:12,619
hard to do work and so that is the job
150
00:08:12,819 --> 00:08:14,509
that both of us wanted she's doing it
151
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:17,749
last time she mowed was the day that he
152
00:08:17,949 --> 00:08:21,079

00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,498
here's a picture of the shirt check it
170
00:08:57,698 --> 00:09:00,318
out links below the video all right done
171
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,289
with that that was fun but I ran out of
172
00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:06,229
camera battery I've carefully burned
173
00:09:06,429 --> 00:09:08,179
around my apple trees not right next to
174
00:09:08,379 --> 00:09:13,688
him hey how's mowing going good Wow
175
00:09:13,889 --> 00:09:16,758
inside this box or fence post pick tail
176
00:09:16,958 --> 00:09:19,188
fence post for rotational grazing we've
177
00:09:19,389 --> 00:09:21,559
been wanting to actually rotationally
178
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:24,289
graze our pasture forever and we're just
179
00:09:24,490 --> 00:09:25,519
now getting the equipment where it's
180
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,129
actually feasible to do it
181
00:09:42,698 --> 00:09:44,459
well folks it's 5:30
182
00:09:44,659 --> 00:09:46,969
I didn't get done everything on my list
183
00:09:47,169 --> 00:09:49,618
actually I was hoping to rototiller the
184
00:09:49,818 --> 00:09:51,659
garden today but there was a lot of goat
185
00:09:51,860 --> 00:09:53,308
chasing you didn't see unfortunately I
186
00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:55,139
fixed that there was a hole in the fence
187
00:09:55,339 --> 00:09:57,238
basically where the buck was squeezing
188
00:09:57,438 --> 00:09:59,368
out through the fence and he got out I
189
00:09:59,568 --> 00:10:02,248
think four times he took one bite off a
190
00:10:02,448 --> 00:10:07,919
cherry tree buck this has been another
191
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,188
great day on the homestead I'll see you
192
00:10:11,389 --> 00:10:12,839
in another video yeah just go go go
193
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:15,299
around here sweet homestead sir yeah
194
00:10:15,500 --> 00:10:16,738
don't forget to get your home sweet home
195
00:10:16,938 --> 00:10:18,599
set sure it actually looks sharper than
196
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:20,698
that because this in white now and that
197
00:10:20,899 --> 00:10:24,188
white just pops up all the colors

I don't think there's anything cuter
3
00:00:22,269 --> 00:00:23,629
than a bunch of Jersey cabs I've never
4
00:00:23,829 --> 00:00:25,309
seen them like this until the other day
5
00:00:25,509 --> 00:00:27,629
when we came out and look at this cow

10
00:01:29,969 --> 00:01:32,000
we gotta kick these goats out of the
11
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,789
barn because we're gonna put cows in
12
00:01:34,989 --> 00:01:37,319
here
13
00:01:40,079 --> 00:02:05,829
come on lady yes the goats from the
14
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:10,819
other side of this gate in there
15
00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:25,120
everyone's okay we got our New Jersey
16
00:02:25,319 --> 00:02:29,950
cow pick her up today as you saw in the
17
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,610
video her name she comes with his
18
00:02:33,810 --> 00:02:38,800
Wallace and this is a little heifer calf
19
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,890
over on this side and then we decided to
20
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:46,210
go ahead and get this steer and bring
21
00:02:46,409 --> 00:02:46,840
him along
22
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:50,469
this is not her calf but our plan is to
23
00:02:50,669 --> 00:02:53,439
get him to nurse on her
24
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,830
so both calves will be on her it's a
25
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:58,689
little bit of a challenge but we've been
26
00:02:58,889 --> 00:02:59,980
going back and forth and trying to
27
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:02,020
decide we pretty much decided against it
28
00:03:02,219 --> 00:03:03,400
and then we said you know what let's do
29
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:09,889
it and so we brought him along as well
30
00:03:12,430 --> 00:03:14,610
cows always get dirty in trailers
31
00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:16,980
because they poop all over and rub up
32
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:25,260
against the sides we're just letting
33
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:27,719
them kind of chill out down here get
34
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,920
used to being in here we'll leave them
35
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,410
in the barn at least until tomorrow to
36
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:35,969
kind of get used to being here and calm
37
00:03:36,169 --> 00:03:37,680
down before we let him out in the fence
38
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:42,140
we also want to keep this calf the steer
39
00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:45,840
real close to her we got to watch this
40
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:49,680
process very closely and may need to get
41
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:52,080
real hands-on in it and getting him to
42
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,270
nurse on her the question is not will he
43
00:03:54,469 --> 00:03:56,280
nurse on her of course he will the
44
00:03:56,479 --> 00:04:01,590
question is will she let him nurse we
45
00:04:01,789 --> 00:04:03,689
already actually saw him in the trailer
46
00:04:03,889 --> 00:04:05,790
nurse a little bit which is that's
47
00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:08,630
encouraging and she didn't pick him off
48
00:04:08,830 --> 00:04:11,520
sometimes it's hard to get cast in her
49
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:13,439
son different moments but we already
50
00:04:13,639 --> 00:04:16,139
knew that this calf kind of tried to
51
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:18,509
nurse on every moment around so we knew
52
00:04:18,709 --> 00:04:22,120
that that was gonna be the problem
53
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:28,110
how does that feel having a cow again
54
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:35,500
right good I do think that learning the
55
00:04:35,699 --> 00:04:38,350
new routine with new animals you know it
56
00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:40,990
stresses the animals to be moved but it
57
00:04:41,189 --> 00:04:43,300
also stresses the new animals you know
58
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,370
that have to get used to new creatures
59
00:04:45,569 --> 00:04:47,230
and then it stresses us not nearly as
60
00:04:47,430 --> 00:04:50,079
much but you know just takes time to
61
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,199
learn the new routine but I'm really
62
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,439
excited I just feel so blessed that we
63
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:09,610
found a grass-fed Jersey so close it was
64
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,889
basically a year ago that her last milk
65
00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:15,278
cow died and we've been looking forward
66
00:05:15,478 --> 00:05:17,860
to this day people asked us over and
67
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:18,968
over when you're gonna get a milk cow
68
00:05:19,168 --> 00:05:21,460
and we always we never were impatient
69
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,079
for the day to come but I do feel like
70
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360
this is the right cow at the right time
71
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,730
for us I feel like in some ways we know
72
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:32,410
a lot more than you then in some ways we
73
00:05:32,610 --> 00:05:34,000
still have so much to learn about cows
74
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,550
and it's intimidating honestly just not
75
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:39,009
not keeping a cow but as health problems
76
00:05:39,209 --> 00:05:42,218
arise this intimidating but I'm pretty
77
00:05:42,418 --> 00:05:45,870
confident that we're going into it as
78
00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:49,028
just with them in many ways the kind of
79
00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:51,639
a better footing in I wouldn't say a
80
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,079
better footing in animal care but kind
81
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,370
of in where we're at in our lives right
82
00:05:54,569 --> 00:05:58,240
now to just do a really fine job with
83
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:04,629
this cow it is Alice we wanted to keep
84
00:06:04,829 --> 00:06:07,930
it similar but I really I don't like
85
00:06:08,129 --> 00:06:09,819
changing animals names but in this
86
00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:18,850
instance I really wanted to so folks
87
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:19,900
thanks for joining us we'll let you know
88
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,189
how things are going very soon as we
89
00:06:24,389 --> 00:06:27,009
start milking and how the steer calf is
90
00:06:27,209 --> 00:06:28,410
taking too
91
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:33,689
nursing on a new mama so we'll see you

much but you know just takes time to
61
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,199
learn the new routine but I'm really
62
00:04:53,399 --> 00:04:56,439
excited I just feel so blessed that we
63
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:09,610
found a grass-fed Jersey so close it was
64
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,889
basically a year ago that her last milk
65
00:05:12,089 --> 00:05:15,278
cow died and we've been looking forward
66
00:05:15,478 --> 00:05:17,860
to this day people asked us over and
67
00:05:18,060 --> 00:05:18,968
over when you're gonna get a milk cow
68
00:05:19,168 --> 00:05:21,460
and we always we never were impatient
69
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:23,079
for the day to come but I do feel like
70
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,360
this is the right cow at the right time
71
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,730
for us I feel like in some ways we know
72
00:05:30,930 --> 00:05:32,410
a lot more than you then in some ways we
73
00:05:32,610 --> 00:05:34,000
still have so much to learn about cows
74
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,550
and it's intimidating honestly just not
75
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:39,009
not keeping a cow but as health problems
76
00:05:39,209 --> 00:05:42,218
arise this intimidating but I'm pretty
77
00:05:42,418 --> 00:05:45,870
confident that we're going into it as
78
00:05:46,069 --> 00:05:49,028
just with them in many ways the kind of
79
00:05:49,228 --> 00:05:51,639
a better footing in I wouldn't say a
80
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,079
better footing in animal care but kind
81
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,370
of in where we're at in our lives right
82
00:05:54,569 --> 00:05:58,240
now to just do a really fine job with
83
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:04,629
this cow it is Alice we wanted to keep
84
00:06:04,829 --> 00:06:07,930
it similar but I really I don't like
85
00:06:08,129 --> 00:06:09,819
changing animals names but in this
86
00:06:10,019 --> 00:06:18,850
instance I really wanted to so folks
87
00:06:19,050 --> 00:06:19,900
thanks for joining us we'll let you know
88
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:24,189
how things are going very soon as we
89
00:06:24,389 --> 00:06:27,009
start milking and how the steer calf is
90
00:06:27,209 --> 00:06:28,410
taking too
91
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:33,689
nursing on a new mama so we'll see you
