The Mennonites are a Protestant group based around the church communities of the Christian Anabaptist denominations named after Menno Simons (1496--1561) of Friesland (a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation), who, through his writings, articulated and thereby formalized the teachings of earlier Swiss founders. The teachings of the Mennonites were founded on their belief in both the mission and ministry of Jesus Christ, which they held to with great conviction despite persecution by the various Roman Catholic and Protestant states. Rather than fight, the majority survived by fleeing to neighboring states where ruling families were tolerant of their radical belief in believer's baptism. Over the years, Mennonites have become known as one of the historic peace churches because of their commitment to pacifism (opposition to war and violence) In contemporary society, Mennonites are both an ethnic group and a religious denomination. There is, however, still ambiguity and controversy among Mennonites about this issue, with some insisting that they are simply a religious group while others argue that they form a distinct ethnic group. Increasingly historians and sociologists treat Mennonites as an ethno-religious group. There are about 1.6 million Mennonites worldwide as of 2009. Mennonite congregations worldwide embody the full scope of Mennonite practice from "plain people" to those who are indistinguishable in dress and appearance from the general population. The largest populations of Mennonites are in India, Ethiopia, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the United States, but Mennonites can also be found in tight-knit communities in at least 82 countries on six continents or scattered amongst the populace of those countries. There are German Mennonite colonies in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia,Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay,and Paraguay, who are to a large extent descendants of Mennonites living in eastern Europe, and there remains a small congregation in the Netherlands where Simons was born. The Mennonite Disaster Service,based in North America, provides both immediate and long-term responses to hurricanes, floods, and other disasters. The Mennonite Central Committee provides disaster relief around the world alongside their long-term international development programs. Other programs offer a variety of relief efforts and services throughout the world.

I wonder what they did to the cows tails ? if you notice in the video the tails are very short liked they had been docked. Maybe they did it for hygiene or some other stupid reason that only humans can come up with and the poor cows miss out on having a fly swartter but as long as the human lives are made easier who cares right ?

British folks have no reason to focus on this, but Mennonites live a simpler lifestyle. They reject pride, and do not focus at all on a child being photogenic. They do not live for self. They serve God, eachother and their fellow man. Theirs is termed "the plain life." Their clothing, transport, home, and everything you can imagine is "plain." They have no TV, probably no computer except for business sometimes, they limit cell phone use, etc.
But they are not Amish, so they do have cars, trucks, tractors, chain saws, electricity, and numerous practical things. They clean up nicely, but do nothing vain. Pride is avoided. -
i really enjoyed your video thanks for sharing it with us.

awe such a cute family ^-^

I can speak for the farmers also the cats are not the farmers cats. They are completely wild. They are like raccoons.

lovely family, and rough lookin barn cats
-
as a dairy farmer in the uk i feel i have to comment on tail docking of cows,this is done so milkers dont have tails in the way or hit in the face by them, new zealand,ireland and some usa dairys do this.in the uk you would be prosecuted and loose your milk licence and maybe not allowed to keep cattle. Sorry if if i have upset some people.

Look at all the poop its up to their knees how'll crap

No one brands it's animal abuse and same with the cats those pore cats and you don't dip the cows right it's supposed to be you dip wait a minute then wipe them
-
As a person who works for a animal clinic in Chicago, I can predict that none of those cats made it to adulthood, they look sick, uncared for, and malnourished.

Those cats needs to be vetted they don't all look healthy they are probably full of worms and sticky eyes
This is so sad.
And here we go again they have no tails oh my goodness I saw that the other day driving by a farm in PA I was in shock God gave them a tail for a reason. Lord have mercy and soften their hearts. -
