It makes my day when I see a notification of 10 Gen show up. It's always awesome seeing how you and your dad work together and seeing the improvements on the farm. You are both amazing farmers and I am glad I get to see it all through your videos. Thank you all your hard work and dedication!
Love how you and your dad work so well together. I was raised on a dairy farm in Idaho 60 years ago. Brings back lots memories of all the help work and the work is never done. I do enjoy your videos thank you for them.
I was brought up on a North Yorkshire Dairy farm till 1972 when I moved to Australia. We used to play music to the cows in the milking shed and we found that there was a definite increase in bulk and cream content. Your videos are great, I really love watching them.
I love your attitude your dad has taught you well. I am a two-year-old former wife of a farmer and dairy I so enjoy your videos. You make it look so easy God Bless
Eric, I know the cows get in your way when you’re trying to get a job done. But, they are so much fun to watch their curiosity and “supervising” of you!
I always love how curious cows are. I was at a wedding in a field one time and the cows just lined up along the adjacent fence and watched the whole thing.
Great progress on your heifer barn ! Great skill at fence repairs, etc. You make it look easy! Especially when you pause on the camera. Makes you wish you could do it that fast in real life ! Laugh Out Loud !
Always great to see a video from Eric when I get home. Love the cow that was the foreperson on the fence project. New building looking better each time. Thanks.
Watching you and your father tear out fence post reminds me of a summer where my grandma and I tore out a mile and a half of fence line. And I was on chain duty lol
These videos of you and your dad doing work around the farm does my heart good and encourages me to get out and do something. My husband watches and says “we could start our own channel and I can follow you around with a camera!” I reply “No one wants to watch me start seeds in the basement, water the raised beds, rake leaves, turn my compost pile, feed the cats, scoop their poop, dust the house, do laundry, scrub the tub and toilet, sweep and mop floors, shop for groceries, make dinner and wash dishes, oh and write letters, pay bills and mail out birthday and anniversary cards. Then again....
I appreciate the simple straightforward approach to daily farm life. It’s not glamorous but builds character and gives one a sense of accomplishment. All this to show America where it’s milk comes from. Keep up the great work.
It always amazes me how important a skid steer is on a farm and I remember when you were deciding what one to go with.. and you surprised us all with a Kubota... seems to be holding up with the amount you use it... awesome video
The best part of watching this video to seeing you and your father working together my sons work with me the same way it is a family thing God bless you and your family all of it love your farm I love watching you PS I do drink your milk stay safe from PA God bless
you should think of a fan club doesn't have to be much but a way people can support you and help with the cost of new building and anything else. love watching your vids and seeing the progress could watch that all day.
Nicely done! The construction carries on and is getting closer to seeing foundations and walls going up. I’ll have to go back & see the drawings you showed us as I forgot what the plan looks like. Lol take care & stay safe. Cheers
For me watching you and your Dad working together is the best part. My Dad and I worked and were together until he passed away. I also was married so making sure I made time for my Wife was very important. Looking back I see just how often I failed to make time for my new family. Unfortunately because of that she became bitter and like a fool I couldn’t see her side. Just remember to make time away from the farm for your own family
I grew up on a small 24 acre farm in Iowa and the folks that bought it from my parents couldn't believe how much fencing was put up on the property, I guess that's what happens when you have all boys for kids and my parents needed to find things for us to do to keep busy and out of trouble...lol
Great Teamwork‼️ I wish I could work with my sons like YALL‼️ They had to take another path because MS and Heart Failure shut me down. Thank YALL for these videos and editing‼️ EXCITING‼️
I remember pulling fence posts like that with my dad probably 45 years ago. We used a 1969 John Deere 2020 with a front end loader. Skid steers were pretty scarce back then.
I remember pulling posts in the high country above Meeker one summer and replacing fence, I used a post and a rope and the horse pulled the posts. About 8000ft just short of the snowline. if you weld an old brake shoe to the end of a pipe you make a post packer that fits right up tight to the post
Coming from England, the way you bang posts in is completely different to ours, we have pointed ends on our steaks that help it go into the ground, plus we have post bangers to make it that much easier and quicker 😂 it’s so interesting how different farming is in America!
Watched 2 go for 1800 and 1600 today at the auction might make a worthwhile investment one of these days after you do the 200 other more important purchases lol
We use stainless steel 1,2mm...1,6mm welding wire. Some come packaged in barrel. Many many kilometers. 20y on fields and still work. Only problem is they are not very reusable. Curl up and when tightened they have pigtails and break in those parts. Need to have spinning platform to unroll these welding wire barrels. We made from wheel hub
You might already know but just a quick tip. When taking out a post. Try a spare tire on the rim full of air. Tie the chain to the post. Pit the chain over the tire on its tread. Tie to the utv and put the tire in line rolling toward the utv and next to the post you are pulling out. Then pull and the chain going over the tire will pull up and pull the post out of the ground.
I use pallet forks for pulling posts by gently driving into it and tilting up and lifting a little. Works great when I don’t have my post puller on. Also do same with loader tractor and scoop. Than can throw the posts in. If posts are pointed I use tractor to press post into ground without digging. Sometimes I h@ve to put gravel or dirt in bucket if ground gets dry otherwise do it myself mostly... help is nice if pressing posts in but not always necessary....
Eric... Use a pallet or platform make 2 posts either side drill holes.. and put a pipe through the spool put handle -optional- on 1 side then just use skid steer to collect wire. stand and spin. heck you can use the skid blades with a pipe through and spin that way no platform.
If my farm experience serves me correctly , you do know that a few of the heifers will try and get through between those posts or rub against them and sooner or later they will manage to loosen the posts enough that the tops will be farther apart than the bottoms. It's a curiosity thing with them.
Eric could you guys make a bracket for the skid to hold a axle so the roller can be moved by the skid, then once you've laid out the wire walk behind or in front.
Seeing your girls out in the field looks so right. I know it makes sense to keep the milkers in the barn full time, but somehow seeing a cow laying down in the grass trumps making sense. Plus there's more distractions to occupy their time, watching the tourists drive by.
Eric, are those fence posts pressure treated?? Do you have black locust trees around?? They make better fence posts than pressure treated plus they never rot. I can attest, I'm using black locust fence posts(they are at least 100 years old and rock solid) from the old dairy farm I live on and it stopped being a farm in the 1960's.

Another good day on the farm. I'll bet you slept well that night after all that fencing and throwing those posts around! Thanks for sharing.
Eric, I know the cows get in your way when you’re trying to get a job done. But, they are so much fun to watch their curiosity and “supervising” of you!
9:25 I love how polite you are to the cows! I wonder if they appreciate it as much as we do.
Eric, you and your dad make a great team. Your video’s are always good!! I never miss one.
Great job on the new barn. 👍
I always love how curious cows are. I was at a wedding in a field one time and the cows just lined up along the adjacent fence and watched the whole thing.
Great video, your soil looks like a rusty color very cool. You certainly get a lot of exercise every day glory!!!
Great progress on your heifer barn ! Great skill at fence repairs, etc. You make it look easy! Especially when you pause on the camera. Makes you wish you could do it that fast in real life ! Laugh Out Loud !

great video Eric. Love when you and your dad works together. It reminds me of when my dad and I worked together.
Its impressive how hard you and your family work for their living!
Well done! Keep it up!
Wow, you and your Dad work pretty hard. All the improvements are building for the future.
Watching you and your father tear out fence post reminds me of a summer where my grandma and I tore out a mile and a half of fence line. And I was on chain duty lol

Yes we do
So come on we want to support your TH-cam 🤗
I appreciate the simple straightforward approach to daily farm life. It’s not glamorous but builds character and gives one a sense of accomplishment. All this to show America where it’s milk comes from. Keep up the great work.
Wow, great job Eric , keep going bro , thats Tenacity and hardwork is World Class , Guys it's Saturday 7:00 a.m here Africa, Kenya
Watching your project making progress is enjoyable thanks for sharing
It always amazes me how important a skid steer is on a farm and I remember when you were deciding what one to go with.. and you surprised us all with a Kubota... seems to be holding up with the amount you use it... awesome video
Love watching cattle go out on pasture for the first time of the year!!!

Love springtime in Southeastern, PA!! Nicest time of the year to do fence work. Thanks for the video.
As always, your work ethic is admirable. Love seeing the activity and I enjoy your channel! 😊🌿🌻
Love watching you guy’s work 😊
Nicely done! The construction carries on and is getting closer to seeing foundations and walls going up. I’ll have to go back & see the drawings you showed us as I forgot what the plan looks like. Lol take care & stay safe. Cheers
Eric, you are one handsome fit strong young man and it shows on you and the farm! "Shine On"!
That was adorable the cows were like “ Whatcha doing Eric”. And you were like “ Excuse me Hey get outa here “😂🙋♀️
Your cows look happy ✨😊✨
For me watching you and your Dad working together is the best part. My Dad and I worked and were together until he passed away. I also was married so making sure I made time for my Wife was very important. Looking back I see just how often I failed to make time for my new family.

Just remember to make time away from the farm for your own family
There will be no gym today!! I've already done my workout!! Thanks for your videos. Peace from SW Florida 🤗🤗!!
I think it's hysterical how the cows stand there and watch you work. They're very curious.
ours are the same way!😂
They are supervising.
Heifers are more notably more curious than cows.
Thanks for sharing. I could watch construction happen all day long.
Most people will never understand how hard it is just to in a pound in a fence steeple. Job well done
The completely serious "excuse me" to the cow had me rolling
Always polite to a lady.

The tires on that skidsteer look sick i bet it digs around out there in the pasture like a champ now!
Great Teamwork‼️ I wish I could work with my sons like YALL‼️ They had to take another path because MS and Heart Failure shut me down.
Thank YALL for these videos and editing‼️ EXCITING‼️
I am shocked there was no Mountain Dew growing where you dug the fence post.
I got a 5 second Mountain Dew TH-cam ad right in the middle of the fence work. 😜
Nice seeing some cows outside on pasture. So many dairy farms keep them inside 24-7 now.
Great awesome video Eric , taking down and fencing is always a good workout, back fill laying is always good
Thank u for an action packed video. Lots of hard work for u and ur father. Enjoyed it very much. 😷💖
Good morning Eric! Hope you and your dad are well! Can't wait to see what's going on today!
There is a man who never grumbles about doing work
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Nothin like a notification of a new upload, love em
Great vid as usual. Have a great weekend....
Great video always a joy to watch you
I remember pulling fence posts like that with my dad probably 45 years ago. We used a 1969 John Deere 2020 with a front end loader. Skid steers were pretty scarce back then.
Wow Eric..you are a fast working man!!!..lol
I love how you upload so quickly.
When you roll the wires on the reel you can put a metal pipe in the reel en hang it in the 3point of your tractor. Thats how we do it at home.

Happy 200th video great Chanel
You are my favourite great work ❤️
It always cracks me up seeing how nosy cows are and why did that one lick the dirt off the post hole digger??
Coming from England, the way you bang posts in is completely different to ours, we have pointed ends on our steaks that help it go into the ground, plus we have post bangers to make it that much easier and quicker 😂 it’s so interesting how different farming is in America!
We do use post pounders here but we don't own one so we just used good old fashion hand tools for only a couple posts.
Watched 2 go for 1800 and 1600 today at the auction might make a worthwhile investment one of these days after you do the 200 other more important purchases lol
@@10thgenerationdairyman ahhh interesting! The good ol’ fashioned way is always reliable 😂
Another good job you guys need to rest take it easy OK from papa Guido again keep up the good work
Hi Eric I enjoy watching you from armagh in Ireland
Great video 👍👍
8:29. That’s some nice dirt you got there
Amazing videos always amazing I love the videos
Good to see you again Eric! Looking really forward to seeing more of the work with the new barn! When are you planned to have it finish?
I envy you being able to dig post holes and not hit multiple rocks, unlike The holes I’ve dug in KY.
Got tired just watching you do all that work, NAP TIME!!!!

Vids are always over too soon. Thanks Eric, Kno it's alot of work but, some of us need it. Really appreciate it
I build fence for a living and this is pretty cool to watch
Wow, y'all get a lot done in a day.
I don't understand the thumbs down. I have no complaints about the way you handle your cattle
Love from india eric ❤️
Never been so early. Right in time for my lunch break.
you have good ole clay like we have in North Georgia.

Nice video. I hope to have a blessed weekend
Lots of curious supervisors while making the “man-gate!!
What would you do without that Skidsteer, real time saver. Looking forward to seeing the new building.
Taking out all those fence posts sure went alot faster than doing that one post replacement!!!
Another great video.. as always makes my day to see 10 gen posted. But fencing doesn't seem like much fun.
Great video as always
I bet that skid loader did a lot better in the field with those new tires.
Eric... Use a pallet or platform make 2 posts either side drill holes.. and put a pipe through the spool put handle -optional- on 1 side then just use skid steer to collect wire. stand and spin.
heck you can use the skid blades with a pipe through and spin that way no platform.
Great stuff as always mate
Let’s goooo another upload to lift my mood
If my farm experience serves me correctly , you do know that a few of the heifers will try and get through between those posts or rub against them and sooner or later they will manage to loosen the posts enough that the tops will be farther apart than the bottoms. It's a curiosity thing with them.

Nice video sir
Seeing your girls out in the field looks so right. I know it makes sense to keep the milkers in the barn full time, but somehow seeing a cow laying down in the grass trumps making sense. Plus there's more distractions to occupy their time, watching the tourists drive by.
And supervising all the work done on the farm.
Should tie a couple of flags on the gate wires so you can tell which field is fenced off
Just a suggestion you should think about getting a post hole auger attachment for your skid steer
A high lift Jack with a piece of chain works great to pull fence posts
Another great video
Eric, are those fence posts pressure treated?? Do you have black locust trees around?? They make better fence posts than pressure treated plus they never rot. I can attest, I'm using black locust fence posts(they are at least 100 years old and rock solid) from the old dairy farm I live on and it stopped being a farm in the 1960's.
Stick a pipe through the fence roll, spread the pallet forks all the way, and set the pipe on them. One person drives will the other spins the roll.
if you see this my farm faimily loves your vids
That 4-wheeler moves pretty fast when he passed the skidstear
