Milking Miss Tulip Our Family Milk Cow
Come along for our daily chore of milking our family cow as I share the daily milking process, caring for and enjoying time with Tulip, and straining the milk to chill before we make butter. Even with our new 150 cow dairy coming soon, I won't give up the joys and benefits of caring for our own family cows - and soon, milk sheep.
Until next time, thanks for watching!
Hannah, Daniel, and Family

A donkey named Turkey, quirky rooster, gentle milking cow, and one beautiful farm lady. Thank you for sharing your life 😊
I don’t know much about farming or cows but I feel like it’s gotta be a happy well treated cow to just stand there and let you do that lol 😊
usually cows would want you to milk them because its very relieving for them
@@iburntapizzaonce3356 You burnt pizza only once?😂😂😂
la vaca debe estar tranquila sin stress para que baje toda su leche .además debes tratarla bien con amor y paciencia sino perdiste la leche ,Dice que las persona que aman y tratan bien los dnimalrs don buena personas .
You’re an angel. God bless you. You’re a great mom. You’re doing the right thing for your children. Continue doing what you’re doing.
This is the true living.. Living with nature! You all are lucky! Very nice 👌
Hi Hannah! As a brazilian veterinarian, I’ve to say that it’s lovely to see how you treat your farm animals and to watch you milk the cow!! Also loved to hear the story about the maple syrup and cinnamon & milk from here! Absolutely lovely!! ❤
Thank you so much!
Ich wünschte jedes Kind würde so aufwachsen wie eure Kinder!! ❤
I’ve had a family milk cow for about a year now and honestly wouldn’t be scared to say she’s one of the most important animals on the farm. Not only does her milk feed us, but it also supplements my chickens, dogs, and hogs. I loved this video! I have followed you on IG for a while and glad to have a ran across your channel here!
This use of milk and especially once it's clabbered, more probiotics for everyone that drinks it, human and animals. We have to be more independent.
Ma'am, do your chickens drink milk?
@@catherineskisso usually when milk gets a bit spoiled, chickens love eating/drinking it!
Thank You! I do have hens!
@@catherineskisони с удовольствием едят творожок.
Love this video, it reminds me of my childhood in our home, full of milk all the time, lots of cooking and eating. God, i didn't know how lucky we were...
My dad grew up on a farm and it was his job to get up and milk the cow early. It was fun hearing his farm stories.
What a great way to raise your family. I retired after 35 year from a cheddar and cream cheese plant. Work on dairy farms growing up and married a farmer’s daughter lol. Always loved working with the cows.
My favorite video you've done so far: from outside to inside, the home farm to future milking business, connecting young days in Brazil to fresh milk w/maple syrup & cinnamon, littlest one at the end passing his food to his slightly bigger sister, and of course kids having real, true fun sledding, which they'll remember forever & which most kids used to be able to do but fewer nowadays, to the information about milking to your grounded idea to keep Tulip there.
Every time I watch a video there is another child. So many, you are such an amazing woman!
Thank you for sharing life❤ 🌹🙏
Beautiful, hard working and positive mother. I admire you. Thank you for sharing.
It’s satisfying just watching you milk the cows. I can only imagine how much more satisfying and rewarding it is actually doing it. I switched to raw cows milk a couple years ago and so glad I did. My family and I love it and I love making cheese and Kefir! ❤
You're doing something important over there, guys. I hope one day I'll be able to visit your amazing farm. Cari saluti dall'Italia.
It absolutely brightens my day every time I watch your videos. It gives me a breath of fresh air amidst the hectic daily life of work. Love your content on here and on Instagram so so much, please keep them coming! God Bless!!
4:00 Speaking to Turkey: "Don't come at me or you will be in the Crock Pot." Hilarious...🤣😅🤣😅
😅 that was great. Lol
Hello cow lover girl❤
I absolutely love watching ya'll so passionately live out life on your farm! Everything that ya'll do is honestly future goals for me personally, especially owning a family milk cow for (hopefully and prayerfully) my own family in the future. Thank you for continuing to share, Hannah! I love learning from ya'll!
🌷 Love Miss Tulip...I just love this channel.
Mon rêve était toujours vivre dans une firme qui ressemble à la vôtre..sans avoir beaucoup de vaches ni beaucoup d’autres animaux..vous êtes une famille bénie qui vit dans la nature dans le vrai sens du terme. Félicitations et bonne continuation ❤❤❤❤
I was hand milking at the age of six. On those cold days, the cows would warm us up. I think the raw milk is easier to digest because all of the enzymes are in tact. When milk is pasteurized many of the enzymes are destroyed by the heating process.
YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DRINK raw milk!!!😮
@@stevemilliondollarman , funny I am still here at age 66, despite drinking raw milk.
Mechanical and or chemical homogenization is the main culpret in milk indigestability that said you are correct about the enzymes
@@atticuskilby515how do you do it please? Does it mean that there's no need to boil or heat the milk to use?
@@marvelouspeters4137 , no need to boil the milk before use, just make sure the udders are clean before milking and strain the milk through cheese cloth before drinking.
Your videos bring me such peace and comfort ❤ takes my anxiety away ❤thank you
И меня ,кстати ,тоже,❤,воодушевляют.Вы умница,да ещё и красавица внешне и душой.Здоровья и благополучия вам 😊😊😊
May God bless you and your family .
It’s so amazing to see how happens the life in a farm 😍😍😍 could you please make a video about the time you lived in Brazil ? I am curious, i am Brazilian and I loved your family. God bleed you 🙏🏻❤️
So fun to hang out and watch this whole process 🐮 Instructive and calm 🐄
Watching from Türkiye. Love how you treat Miss Tulip as a family member we also have cows and they all have their own personality❤
So badly wanting a cow! Thanks for the overview. Tulip is just so special!
Where are you at, I have 2 pure bred Jersey's I would sell if you are near southern B.C, Canada.
Brings back memories! Love seeing all the farm happenings!!!
Always happy to see Tulip! 🌷💝
I ❤ watching you milk your beautiful cow! Not many cows are this gentle, be grateful and thankful…
My family and I are loving your videos on YT! Thank you for sharing with us and inspiring us all. ❤
So precious! Thanks for letting us see the milking process! Hope to have my own dairy darling one day 💖
Good Sunday morning Hannah. You're looking great today - and I'm glad Tulip is doing well. Thanks so much for sharing a look at your daily chores there on the family farm, moving from one to the other very much like a Ballerina. 🌹🌹😊😊
This brings us such precious memories of my great-grandma teaching me how to milk a cow when I was about 8-9 🥰 loved watching this!
Удивительно спокойные коровы - это просто счастье для того, кто доит корову!!!! Удачи Вам !!!!😊
All I can say is, lucky kids! Beautiful homestead
Great Video Hannah!! Can't wait to make the trip to Kamas one day when you are open for Business!! Thanks for taking us along for the ride ❤
Ty for sharing the process of hand milking , loved it. Beautiful family also
Thank you for this video! I love watching your posts!
That was wonderful! Thanks for all the information. The children really looked like they were having fun sledding. Reminds me when I was a child and we went down to the railroad tracks to go sledding, that was the only hill around.
I watch this, and it feels like i can almost live that farm life 😍 I really want to see more videos, and can’t wait to hear about your experience with the sheep and goats milk!
Great videos and beautiful family!
Good ❤...sharing ...
Great video, and thanks for sharing your family with us.
I admire your family's hard work so much!!!
That was fun to watch! I’ve never milked a cow, but I got to bottle feed a calf one summer. That was really fun. I loved that he would come when I called and would let me pet him.
❤ thank you for explaining with such details the process. Makes me want to have a farm 😊 . Thank you again . I grew up drinking raw milk in the mornings direct from the cow back in Mexico with chicolate Abuelita and cinamon and never got sick with the milk. Here in California I go to my cousin's home to drink again every once in a while and next time I will try like you did today 😋 thanks for the idea!
Love your new channel! Y'all are so good at making videos, keep up the great work!! ❤️
Love that Tulip got to go camping!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful family and farm with all of us ♥️
Good morning, Ballerina Farm! Thanks to you for sharing the milking process today. I really enjoyed watching the whole video. You helped me bring back memories of spending time with my grandparents and their milk cow that I had tucked away for way too long. Much of the process was the same except I remember my grandmother immediately putting the milk through a “processor” to separate it. Man, I was such a city kid then and thought butter was yucky. What I wouldn’t do now to go back to those times. Blessings to you and your family. ❤️
Oh what a wonderful life, nature and the way it should be. I hope to get a cow someday. Thanks for sharing 💓🤠🐮🐄
What a fun lesson on a Saturday morning! 🥛🐂 🐄 I have always loved farms, cows, chickens, etc. My favorite thing to do as a little kid, big kid, teenager, mom, etc… was go to my grandparents, aunts & uncles homes & to their farms in the country after they moved closer to the city. Looking back it was always my favorite thing to do & I always wanted to live on a farm but we had moved to the city soon after I was born so I was brought up in the city but my heart is still in the country & how I miss my grandparents!! I still love living out but I never got to live the farm life like you do!! I envy every single thing you’re doing out there & I still think about it even though I’m now 69 years-old! lol!! Of course I’ve always loved to cook, bake, sew, quilt, caring for my kids & any kids, etc. & I still do! I’ve kidded my mom & told her I’m going to out to homestead somewhere & she just laughs at me but you never know! Anything is possible! You take care, best of luck with all your new cows & the dairy & keep little life for us both! Give Tuip a great big hug for me❣️❣️ 🥰 🐂🐓🐄🐓
Храни вас Всевышний! Деточки просто Чудо! Привет из Санкт-Петербурга
Started milking when I was 6. Haven’t done it for decades. Brings back memories. Simpler life.
Oh, I just love watching this segment of your life on the farm. Reminds me of my childhood during the time we had milk cows. Just love it! I'm so happy to have found your channel. And I love your soap! xo
Thank you , for sharing .
She's such a good cow to stand so still for you!
I could not love you all more. So happy for your future!!
Your cow feels really happy on your farm x ❤ x Bless you and your family x ❤ x
Im thinking of getting a family milk cow for our farm as well! So neat, thank you for the video :)
You have the touch, Tulip really trusts you
Love love love ❤ thank you for sharing
V nic hard working lady so butfull
That looks so good!!❤🎉
This is soothing for the soul 🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing this video - soo wholesome to see how you guys live❤️🍀 You guys are an inspiration 🙏🍀 Felt a bit like I grew up in Swissland. 2 years active working and learning farming on a small mountain dairy farm. Spent most of childhood around little mountain farms.
My kids loved this video ♥️ Can’t wait to get our own milk cow!
Great stuff, I'm hoping to get my own milk cow next year. God Bless
Can’t wait to see you grow even more.
Loved this!! Always such a treat watching your family. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Amazing content❤ a lots to study about the farm. Looking forward to watch next one to come out already ❤
I LOVE your farm. Your family is beautiful as is your farm. We are at an awkward part of our moving journey and my husband has to spend a lot of time running between the two homes . So thank you for making these videos, they reminding me of what we are working towards. Especially, when I get sad and start missing my hubby and the cows. Thank you!! PS you are totally justified in disliking that pitch fork, I have one that looks like it, and I am not fond of it either.
This is my dream... Big happy family raising animals and living a proper natural life. Love it.
I love her!
Thank you, Ballerina Hannah! That was so awesome and educational! You make farming fun! I love all of your animals. Turkey is adorable! 💐✨️🤍✨️🥰
No entiendo tu idioma pero admiro tanta energía y tanto amor x todo lo q haces , Dios te bendiga ❤❤
Its very cool to see farm life like this as well as getting to know the animals and the farm products they produce
I am looking to one day getting an A2 Jersey cow. Love this video. I just ordered your sourdough kit. Super excited!
So enjoyed this, thank you!
I loved Ms. Tulip she’s lovely so is your charming and huge family . Hugs from Mexico 🇲🇽
So strange to me how the Idea of drinking warm milk from a cow seems so foreign, but I am somehow totally ok with the commercial process which couldn't be further from nature.
Enjoyed the video. So excited to follow your family
We had Holstein cows for our dairy farm but when my dad retired and sold the cows he got a Jersey cow for us to have as a milk cow. I remember my momma saying that a Jersey cow’s milk was a lot richer just like you said.
Thank you 🙏
I have a family Milk com here in Brazil ... and it's like a task that you have to do every day... sometimes I'm not excited to do that but I have to... I love the animals.. I love the cows and I'm learning English and I took this video to learn a little about this activity in English... fantastic. I really appreciate!
Video was great, thank you! I too have a problem drinking store milk. I learned so much from this video 😁 May Our Lord continue to bless you and your family.♥️♥️♥️
I always enjoy watching you milk Tulip, love her name by the way, and the little drink you make from her milk.
She is such a sweet cow! Some of my cows don't like to stand still and will kick, but some are better and come when I call and are just amazing so I pick my favorites.
Good simplified filtering ..sieving ...against external matters n insects etc
That was such a sweet video. Thanks for letting us learn from you and also live vicariously through you! Haha. One of my dreams is to be a milk maid someday.
You’re amazing! Such a true role model! 💝💝💝💝💝
The crockpot threat to the rooster 😂
Такая красотка!!❤ Умничка 🎉
Beautiful and funny, very lucky guy 🎉
Wonderful video. I am almost convinced that I need to get my own milk cow after watching this. I do a lot of baking and growing my own food and I buy local sources as much as possible. But it's getting harder to get milk and eggs from local farmers here..long wait lists.
I love following you all. Such an inspiration
Great video, you're doing a good job. Tulip is a great cow.
UN GRAN EJEMPLO DE MUJER Y MADRE,❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank You for all you share, with the rest of Us :0)
Cheers to the best life!
Tremendo programa 😊nos gustó mucho, gracias
