Thanks for watching! And just so you know, if you are interested in getting a family dairy animal, don't let the 'fanciness' of our current set-up deter you. We had a very low-tech set-up that worked for MANY years-- you can absolutely start small!

Who the hell would give this a thumbs down? Straight up city folk.

I'm glad my milk shed isn't the only one with broken windows - part of the joys of homesteading in a harsh climate! I love the new setup, it looks fantastic, thank you for sharing!
-
I’ve been milking for 6 yrs now, I still love getting to look at other peoples set ups! Thanks for sharing. Your parlor is great!
-
I love to see small dairy like this!! If you're selling milk, can you have the wash area in the same space as where the cows are milked? Typically the sinks are in a different room as the parlor. You guys do a great job!

Love brown swiss so cute. Great parlour. Congrats.

21 eggs, one pocket. Kids are so fun. 😄

I've always wanted a pro-style milk room and after milk room, taking milk to strain and have a huge commercial fridge there (glass doors) to place milk after it's been chilled in a large sink with ice water ( so ice machine too) and also a huge commercial sink to do all cleanup, separate from milk room and it;'s potential poop nad har and dirt and flies....of course this is still a dream.....

Congrats the Parlour and new Baby Heifers, Have used this type of milk machines. Love them, you will be thrilled
-
That looks so nice. Oh how I wish I had room for a couple cows. Thanks for sharing!!
-
So excited for you. So wish I had enough room for a milk cow, not in the cards for now. So wish I lived in a state that allowed for raw milk sales on a small scale.

love your brown swiss

Looks good. Just remember in the winter that milking machine is COLD..lol do not get kicked! Experienced..

All I can say is WOW ! What a difference !! Beautiful and bright !!! Totally clean...

Love this, love this, love this!! So exciting to see. As I sit here at my desk, in Australia, studying to become a teacher so I can have a good job to afford a cow of my own one day 😜 awesome work team P.H! Xx
