Uploaded: cookingupastory
About: For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, visit: http://cookingupastory.com This is a story about a third generation dairy farmer facing a critical choice: continue raising his herd of dairy cows practicing conventional farming, or switch over to an organic dairy operation. It took him 2 years to decide, but as he looks back upon that decision, he considers it the best decision he ever made. In this version of Organic Dairyman: Director's Cut, the original 2 part series was combined and re-edited to allow for a slower pacing that more faithfully matches the serene surroundings and the natural flow of the story line. For those film buffs out there, compare this version with the original parts 1 and 2, and tell us what you think.

@fortbumper I'm sorry, but I'm not able to answer your question, for I am only the filmmaker. Have you tried searching any documents online? Or maybe a dairy farm forum? Or approach a dairy farmer in your area? Hope you find the answers you're looking for.
Someone mentioned the cows are supposed to be bred back within a few months after having a calf, to keep them in the "rhythm" of the breeding cycle. Is this true, or is it stressing the cow too much? We only have two heifers that will be having their first calves and want to do what is best for them. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
A very nice farm, and a very nice farmer. Wish more people would use this method of farming. Don't let anyone convince you that organic/natural farming is no good. Animals and crops are not robots or machines. Neither are they a part of the technology that is helping to destory mankind. Nature is an ally, waiting to help us if we work with it the way it's supposed to function - Naturally.

"favourite cow of all times" well done rosie!
thats a lie! they go to slaughter houses once they cant produce milk anymore. dumbass. i live on a dairy farm. we have cow that is 11 years old! thats really old for a cow!!
Great vid!
awesome!!
Nice story but you didn't mention what the cows eat in the winter and where you get it.
But they have had a happy life. Everyone dies but its what happened when you were alive that counts and they get to live how they are ment to.
Once dairy cows are too old to be commercially viable they are commonly sold to slaughter for hamburger meat. Look it up.
great video beautiful cows. thanks
Great farm, lucky animals :)
- Julie Daniluk - name will bring up an interesting interview on organics
Where are all the calves? Pregnant, milking moms and no babies. Hmmm, oh yeah, they are sent off to the veal farms. Not nursing with their mothers, but yanked away at the first day of birth so the mothers can keep making milk for humans. Horrible!
