What is in the course
It is not a highlight reel. It is my whole day with the cow, at normal speed, with the kids helping, the jars filling, and butter at the end.
The routine, the stanchion setup, and the jars, funnel, and filters I actually use.
Grazing and cross fencing instead of hauling in feed all year.
The calf does part of the work and you still fill your jars.
Cooling and storing so it stays sweet, then cream, yogurt, and butter.
From Justin and Rebekah
Rebekah wanted a family cow for years before we finally got one. The first morning she milked, and the first time we made butter from that milk, changed how we eat. Now our milk, butter, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream all come off our own land, and this course is everything I know about keeping a cow for milk and butter.
A 15 page guide for the parts that are easier to read than to watch. It comes with the course, attached right under the video, so you will never lose it.
Why we keep doing it
Our boys handle the halter, carry the pan, and know which cow is which. That is half the reason we keep her. The milk is good, but the work is better.
Before you sign up
Yes. The full course and the guide, no cost. If you like them there is a lot more inside Abundance Plus and I will tell you about it. That is the whole trade.
East of the Mississippi, plan on two acres per cow if you will feed hay through winter, or five acres if you want to graze year round. West of there, plan on more. The guide also covers leasing and deep bedding for people without land.
Cows are slow, calm, and easier than goats, and you can keep one behind a single strand of electric fence. The course shows the whole routine at normal speed so you can see exactly what the day looks like.
Between thirty minutes and an hour and a half, depending on whether you are moving her to fresh grass that day.
