Macky lives with his wife and two children on Te Awamutu dairy farm. The farm is owned by his father.
Macky and his dad farm 320 Jersey cows together and the pair were big fans of the practice of milking cows once a day all season.
"We love the once-a-day milking. Dad probably adapted to it fully about five years ago and we haven't looked back since."
Although Macky had noticed a slight drop in production since starting once-a-day milking, he said it was worth it.
"I think you've got to farm for your lifestyle if it allows. I love spending time with my wife and kids and once a day certainly helps with that."
Macky tried to upload one or two videos a week on his YouTube channel, and had about 15 videos online so far.
He now has more than 2000 followers from all over the world.
"I've got comments from people all around the globe, even from places like Morocco people are watching. So that's pretty awesome I think."
Back home, Macky was gaining traction with farmers down south as well.
"They work all day on their own farms and watch me on the TV at night."
Macky's goal was to get to 10,000 subscribers before the end of the year and he was keen for people to check out his YouTube channel.
Although he was enjoying his success, Macky wasn't ready to call himself a celebrity just yet.
"I definitely wouldn't call myself a star. I'm trying to make a little bit of headway into Youtube … it isn't going too bad so far."
