Man vs KICKING Cow | Daring Teet Injection

Do you want me to go with you? Yeah. Okay, hopefully I can fit in this thing. Let's go, we'll be all right. Come on, I got you, I got you. Put your leg in. Yeah. Oh, this will work. Oh well, I'm too big for this. Sit down. Ready? Yeah. Baroon will keep us in shape. He's come pick us up for work, huh? Yeah, let's go! All right, Marty McFly. Surprising how much warmer it is in here even though there's no sun. There's a little bit, but there's no wind. Gideon, come get the eggs. Even though it's freezing outside, 25 degrees, that water's still going strong because it's moving. Oh, he does get some eggs. Come on, get in. I found some for you and then you can go in. Are you getting cold? Yeah. All right, here. Don't get the fake ones. Okay, go ahead. Okay, can you get the other one too? There you go. That's Teddy's groomer. Rebecca, you want to deal with You want to go with the groomer or me? Teddy, you ready for this? Let's get a good look at you. Let's get a good look at you, Chewbacca. Who is it? He's like, stop. Do you remember her? Oh, mean old guard dog. I'm taking the leash. It's okay. I've done nothing to hurt you. You just don't want to get wet. Tell them bye-bye. I did, I told them bye-bye. It's gonna ice tomorrow. And Arun, you were saying let's just make them a 2-day paddock so that we don't have to move the shed. Yeah, because we couldn't even move the shed when it was wet, let alone with ice. But thing is that we— all we can do, like, we can move all the way in this corner, like right here. Yeah, and tomorrow we can just like make a like kind of like this loop. I think that's a good plan. If somehow we can get the shed up to— problem with getting it in this corner is these trees. I see though, if the shed's going to stay here and the other cows are going to be here, we're going to have to block the other cows out while we milk. There is not enough in there, I know this, but we want them on it because that's the best way to rebuild it. And if we had more hay, I'd probably even make this smaller and just feed them hay here to begin building up this land. Hey, they don't eat adds to the soil. So I went and got some hay. Stud muffin munching on my hay bale. So I think I'll get this other hay bale out, spread it out. Maybe he'll come off of that and then I can spread it. It's cold out here. I haven't had my hands covered all morning because they're busy. I would say they're half numb, but you know, this food just doesn't jump on our plate. Cows don't give milk, as Zig Ziglar used to say. You got to work for every last drop. Not just in the squeezing, but moving them around. Hey, we're gonna need you for moving the shed. We got stuck. That's as far as we could pull it yesterday, and somehow we've got to get it way over there. Perfect. Thank you. Good job. All right, come on, come on, let's go. Right there. There we go. Got the cap on for the second milking. Collar makes it a lot easier. See, I can't barely get anything— I can't get anything out. It's clogged up. Maybe with the mastitis it was working, but then there's— it's gotten clogged. But I'm gonna let the cat, the calf, open it right up. Let's try it. Nope. We might can poke it with our— we have some, I don't know, insertion that we could maybe unclog it with. This doesn't work. All right, it's not getting undone with the calf. I've seen it plugged before, once calf got it undone right away, so this is some blockage. We're gonna try warm water, washing her off, see if we can't get it that way. And if not, we're gonna have to plug it. He's holding it on there where he can. Maybe that'll breaking it up, but maybe not because her milk's 100 degrees, so that's definitely not any warmer than that. Let's try it by hand. Oh, Lily's got her some alfalfa. That didn't help. Now let's try the calf. She's coming off on it so quickly. Yeah, there we go, there we go! Yeah, okay, we got it! Yes, yes! Okay, the plug shot out of there. Now you can have it, calf. Yeah, I was beginning to wonder what in the world we were gonna do. That's crazy. But it just took some patience, consistency. I'm happy about that. Okay, calf has nursed her. I'm on my own. Aruna's taking the milk back. Hopefully get this in a little bit, but she's gonna kick. She doesn't like it. Who would? Sticking a plastic in your teat. Plastic needle in your teeth. Ah, one needle. Gotta switch it out now. Okay, switched it out. I don't want to hobble her because she could fall. Okay, I'm doing it almost. 5 milliliters left. Okay, did it. Whew! Yesterday we got stuck right there. We couldn't go any further. It's super steep. I'm not very hopeful, but this would be easier. Corinne and I are gonna push. Josiah, I've told you the plan. Stay steady. 1, 2, 3! There it is! It made it! Hey, hey, proofs! Set out to do the impossible, extraordinary things happen. I didn't think that would do, so why did I try it? I don't know, but it worked out, didn't it? It wouldn't hurt to try, I guess. Waste a little bit of time. If it wouldn't have worked, I think we were going to take Sally up, hook up the winch, and winch it up this hill. But that was a lot quicker. I've been reheating last night's roast. It's been in here 40 minutes. Took the lid off 10 minutes ago. It's not heating up fast enough for me. Yeah, it's only like an 86. That worked so much better so fast. And we gotta have a soup. Look, let's show the people your haircut. She always gives him a bow. You like that? Do you like that? Do you look good? Do you look good? He does. You look good. Okay, what do you need? I need you to put my socks on. Remember when you were pregnant? Yeah, I was pregnant. Yeah, tired already. I recognize this way of sitting down. This is 33 more pounds, breasts and all. Can't breathe in. What was that simulating? You can't breathe? You can't take a deep breath? Oh my gosh, she's got a sandbag pushing on my bladder. Where? Underneath this belly. That's funny because when I picked up the box, I was like, this is heavy. It's hard to bend over when you're pregnant. It's very hard to bend over. Speaks the person that only was pregnant for a morning and not 9 months. Rebecca's tile is here. Well, mine too, for the bathroom renovation. Did we tell you guys we're gonna renovate the bathroom come January? So we're start— so we're starting to get the supplies here. Boy, that turnaround has been super handy. Boom! We got our tile coming in. Rebecca's got a good plan for this bathroom. I can't wait till that gets— well, I can. I can. I honestly can wait. I bet Rebecca can't wait. Can you wait? New bathroom? It's the kids' bathroom. I don't really care. Our bathroom's not good. Anyway. All right, let's go do afternoon chores. Before we go out there, let's see what a hay bale— how much room a hay bale takes up. Let's say 40 inches. Let's say 17, 19, 40, 17, 19. Let's just say that's 3.3 by 1.5 by 1.5. That, that will— we'll figure our cubic spacing on that. And basically, let's go to our pole barn right now and look at our configurations for sheep and cows and mulch storage and hay storage. I'm thinking this side is gonna— this will be our sacrifice lot here. We're gonna have to fill this in, flatten it out. I put in a word to the land, uh, grounds— what do you— not landscaper, the grader. Let's do it at the lowest spot. 11'4" at our lowest spot, and then the 16' by 32'. I bet you that's going to be enough for— we're going to need 600 hay bales. If it's not, if it's not, we don't have to make the cows' area quite as big. I just want them to have as much room as I can give them without giving them too much, because we want them to manure up this wood chips that continually add this wood chips and get a compost in the spring. But we don't want them picking on Phyllis either. But that's the idea of the, the outdoor loafing area too. I'm thinking it'd be really cool if maybe the loafing area for the sheep could be up here if we could really concrete that pretty far. He's coming tomorrow, so we'll see. Hopefully the ice doesn't stop him. Let me spin you guys around here, and then that will be— there'll be more a bit of a loafing area for the cows. We could also do the loafing area for the sheep here and maybe for the cows there. I might want to try to stay off that road though, if I can help it, because if we put a loafing area out here and it's wood chipped, when we move them out in the spring We can then plant like a pumpkin patch or something. Question of the day: Are the cows and the sheep going to be okay? I mean, it's going to be 20 degrees. Wind, I'm sure. And it's going to ice. The quick and easy answer is they're going to be just fine. They have a hide. Their fur has come in— fur? Their hair has come in for the winter. We just fed them some hay. They're going to be digesting that. That's going to keep them warm. They're really hardy beasts. And they're going to be just, just fine. The photographer was here. Photographer, videographer. You want to talk about that? Sure. You haven't been in the vlog, so maybe we'll give a little snowball update. We're gonna have a photographer, videographer. Yes, she's also a doula. That's handy. Doula slash photographer. So how'd that meeting go with her? Great. So how do you feel about documenting this now, um, that you've met her? How confident are you in getting some really nice pictures? Oh, I think it's a nice video. I think we're very confident. It's a big game changer, isn't it, for us? Yeah, I won't have to be like one baby, one hand catching the baby and the other hand holding the camera. You're funny. Again, Polyface Designs book, Joel's book to the rescue. I've been heavy in this chapter today, winter and hay feeding. That's— it's where I am getting how much it tells you how to calculate How much for hay storage. It also tells you the capacity for the— are we burning it up back there? We sold out the first batch. 2,700 of you guys are waiting on the second batch, which comes in January 8th.
