I’d suggest going over to KC Farms over on youtube. They raise kunekune and share alot of information.

I also have kunekunes. But there get limited feed. Like 2-4 cups 2x a day. They are pasture pigs. They thrive on grass. I used the feed more as a treat.

Synergy animal product. Jessica from roots and refuge uses this brand. And Justin rhodes recently showed the fly spray in a video.

I’ve been looking into milking machines. Does anybody have any advice? I seen Lehmans, valley vet and others carry one called The Ultimate EZ Milker.

Dairy cows require alot of feed. The smaller one could just be genetics. Or wasn’t given the proper nutrition as a young calf. I’d pour the feed to them.

Under medical supplies – even just basic knee brace, ankle brace, etc. Working day in and day out will be an adjustment to some people’s body. A way to do deal with some aches and pain to make work more manageable.

Giveaways are fun! Do we have some freesteading shirts yet!?!?

If a male has been castrated, they are called barrows. Boars are intact male.

My jersey hasn’t been milked in 2 weeks. Calf has been seperated as well. However she is not drying off. She is not super full, but definitely has milk still there. We have changed her routine and move her location so she doesn’t have access to the barn where she was milked. I know there are products that can be used. But why isn’t she drying up on her own?? She does not seem to be in any discomfort. Not fever or hard spots on the utter. Anybody have some advice?

If they give birth at the same time, you definitely will have the quantity 😃!!

Yes I have looked into Hamby. And I had the chance to buy a surge locally but didn’t get to it quick enough haha. And yes that’s what I’m wondering, how does it milk without a pulsator. Most videos I’ve watched online say a milker doesn’t have to have the pulsator. But for every one of them comments, there is a farmer who says other wise.

Yes, the basic everyday wear items! Shoes!
