Milk Training a Dexter Cow: We Did IT!

Jolleen is a first time freshener Dexter cow. She is halter trained and mostly lead trained. In this video we summarize what we did to get to this point and then get Jo back on the milk machine one last time before this collaboration video needed to be buttoned up! How much milk will Jo give us??!

Jolleen is homozygous polled and carries A2/A2 milk proteins.

About Sweet Briar Farm
We are a small farm located in Central/Northern Michigan. We farm every inch of our 6 acres. We breed Registered Dairy Goats, Dexter Cattle, and Heritage Hogs. Clean healthy food is important to us and we like to produce the majority of our food on the farm and we grow and raise enough to sell to local customers. Producing our own food also means we forage for wild edibles such as mushrooms and tap our maple trees in the spring to make maple syrup. In 2019 we added honeybees to the farm and have had as many as 30 active hives producing honey for us.

Our goats include Nubian goats, Mini Nubians, Fainting Goats, and Nigerian Dwarf goats.

Our Heritage Hogs include: registered Berkshires, Tamworth, Registered Kune Kune, and Hereford.
