House Cow Keeping tales.....
Had a lovely trip to Wales to one of my housecow mentees to lend a hand with their first, & their Jersey heifer's first calf & milking. Needing a little moral support as they worked their way through the first few days post-calving mama cow Florence had a mild case of mastitis in one of her quarters. We had been chatting & sharing videos via Whatsapp but decided they’d be happier if I would visit in person for more practical help. The keepers had already done a fab job of massaging and patiently milking out by hand at least 3 times a day. Hopefully Florence is on the other side of it now and as you can see she’s had a gorgeous heifer calf called Bella (holsteinX) and both mum and babe are doing well. First time calvings can be scary & overwhelming for cowkeepers before during and after the whole process but there are rewards if only momentary & I get my kicks out of standing back to watch the keepers soak up those rare few precious good moments.
I aim to always be on the other end of the phone for my mentees, no matter how small the problem may seem, it’s always worth making the call. If you would like some advice whether it be housecow keeping or selling milk as a Calf at Foot Dairy™️ or to buy a copy of The CAFD Methods Manual you can find details on my website www.TheCalfAtFootDairy.co.uk
