Still keep two spoiled Guernseys, Chessie and Maybelle. Chessie is 15 this year and open, after 8 attempts AI'ing her she's going to see the beef bull this May. If that doesn't work it's off to McD land. Maybelle is 2 years old and due March 16 to a Select Sire son of Grumpy. Both girls know there own tie stalls and are waiting for me morning and night to let them in. I've been milking family cows here since 1962 when my Grandmother passed the duties to me. We've made kafir, yogurt, cottage chess, butter, smearcase, panir, mozzarella, and feed the leftover whey to hogs and chickens.

I still have a couple of quarts of her colostrum in the freezer for bum calves. Still milk by hand but am thinking of getting an electric milker. Worked on dairy farms when I was in high school but didn't like the transition to Holsteins so I stuck with the Guernseys for temperament and milk quality.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
