Christine, I think "enough" to fill your needs is ideal and highly desired in some cases. But anymore than that becomes undesirable and quick in a rural area.
Nice. I love how you don't just accept your environment, you mold it to what you want. And doing a lot of the work yourselves puts skin in the game. Many, including me, would have just told the contractors what to do and justified it by telling saying I have too many other duties that take all my time. Milking, feeding, equipment maintenance, etc. Not you guys. You find the time, energy and effort to do it all. Respect.
Excellent video Eric! Been a pleasure to watch the progress on the new extension. Glad to see you do the prep work yourselves. Great crew of contractors. Andrew's tilt of the head when looking at the camera was just like the cows checking out your camera placement - 😆 Congratulations on the new build! I'm sure there will be many blessings among the love, care, respect, and deeds to come in the new shelter. Best wishes!
I am loving the cooler temps. Leaves ar just starting to turn a little here in Erie, Pa. The new barn extension looks great and I hope it helps you make things a lot easier. You sure put a lot of clever features into the new space. Great video. Thanks.
The improvements look really good! The pre fresh cows are going to enjoy all that space. Probably a smart idea to maximized flexibility in those pens. Ya never know what situation might come up that you will be really glad you took those extra steps at some later date.
As a retired farmer, could you spray the square in the floor ( for the center post ) a bright colour, so it is easy to find when digging in the bedding. Just a suggestion. Fantastic job on the addition, always making it a little easier for the ladies and the farmer. Have a great week.
Well worth the investment. More room cows have less stress on cow and human. Yes theres nothing quite like having the calving cows close and handy to the human activity to keep an eye on them.
Depends on the the concrete mix, only if you are going to use a specially designed mix to prevent rebar ionization. It would it be a good idea for the long run if you have heavy equipment on it frequently. If not, the standard mix concrete subject to the kind of environment you have without rebar would save it breaking down from the inside out.
It seems like yesterday they just started that whole process was fast!! It looks great Eric and can't wait to see it work out for you. Your probably relaxed now because the past few weeks have been busy with this and harvest in between.
You guys do it all, of course a farmer has to do it all or he will go broke, at least I would. Love the new prefresh pen, it will add a lot of value, makes for more open space. Like what your doing on the farm and the videos your making. Thanks for sharing, have a great remainder of the week.
With this addition, why didn't you switch to the center locking gates like in the new calf pens? Then you wouldn't have the middle post to deal with or back into with the skid loader.
You did good, rebar is a double-edged sword, it allows you to use less concrete but it also will rust in time and destroy the concrete. There are Roman churches made of concrete 500yrs old with no rebar.
Congrats you got 403k subscribers yahooooo🎉 . It’s 92 in the high’s we got server storms heading our way strong winds a thunder lighting . Wow look real good so far Eric that will be awesome more room for pregnant cows and fresh cows .Would like to see the whole thing done
Concrete only needs reinforcement if it will be subject to tension. Reinforcement will shorten the life of concrete because when it rusts, it breaks the concrete apart.
Thank you very much for sharing with us. Your life is so interesting. Even tho you are always at the same farm there is always so much new stuff going on.
A special needs pen is for any cows that might be sick or for any other reason is not doing well. They are separated from the rest of the heard and put into this pen so that they can be observed easily and can be given any special attention that that may be needed.
So the heifers with the red tape on their legs are on antibiotics? What are others things that would be a special needs? The new extension looks good.Thanks.
Farming Isn't Easy Tell the Truth Of how you feel. I was 12 when my father took out taxes on me ..Paying for the low incomes families to help their families to live
Nothing quite as lovely as a vast expanse of new concrete! I live in a rural area and have come to really appreciate concrete.
A person that lived in the city my whole life I'm sick of it...interesting how life works that way. Another mans trash or whatever

Barn looks great and I think the lady's put thier stamp of aproval on it as well

Glad to see all the good results from all the planning you and your dad put into the barn addition. Always looking after the cows. Stay safe.

Thanks Eric. Interesting changes.
Absolutely one of the most well managed and maintained dairy farms around!!!! Not to mention the amount of thought put into the welfare of the cows.
Great job on the new barn and new concrete!
You always talk about fresh cows!!! What do you do with the stale ones??😂😂
Seriously??
He gets them bred so they can be fresh again. 🙂
Its great that you can get the improvments done

ladies and the farmer. Have a great week.
Very nice addition. It’s always a bonus when you have a wee bit of extra concrete. 😊
Your barns look amazing
Well worth the investment. More room cows have less stress on cow and human.
Yes theres nothing quite like having the calving cows close and handy to the human activity to keep an eye on them.
Great to see it all coming together.

I'll explain sometime in a video. We did consider that, but there are a couple reasons we like the center post.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 i think i win your shortlist giveaway but you not answering please help me!
Very nice improvement
How are lane sweepers doing? New ones in future maybe ,as they seemed to be a great help and improvement for cows?
Thanks for sharing your vids with us!

Lookin good now
Almost 3k views in 20 min, Amazing job Eric!
Looking really great Eric 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Looking fine Eric. Keep taking advantage of that 179 deduction and things will be running real smooth for future expansion. Love your channel.
I like that you condensed the video
Andrew's look PRICELESS
Concrete only needs reinforcement if it will be subject to tension. Reinforcement will shorten the life of concrete because when it rusts, it breaks the concrete apart.
Looking really good
This video keeps coming up. I always like it
Then it comes you again like I never watched it.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
love the content keep up the good work
Thank you very much for sharing with us. Your life is so interesting. Even tho you are always at the same farm there is always so much new stuff going on.
Good design! Great content! And most of all, hard work 👍
You have made some Magor investments in the farm over the last 2 years. Have you ever considered robot milkers
New to this Channel and just come about this video what do you mean by special needs cows? I'm not a farmer so I don't understand
A special needs pen is for any cows that might be sick or for any other reason is not doing well. They are separated from the rest of the heard and put into this pen so that they can be observed easily and can be given any special attention that that may be needed.
You're in for a lot of great content! - Eric has a calm and inviting feeling to his videos. Enjoy!
Where do you get those gate latches you use? Are they online anywhere?
Great vídeo
Good seeing a concrete crew NOT from south of the border.
Cool show Eric. Love your videos. What's your next construction dream?
i love your videos take care from Poland
Any concrete we pour that we’re going to drive on gets some reinforcement in it.
Looks nice
So close to being done!
Sweet!! Thanks 😊
Sweet! I love it
So the heifers with the red tape on their legs are on antibiotics? What are others things that would be a special needs? The new extension looks good.Thanks.
Looka Good
Cows seem to be liking it...🙂
ahhhhhhhh.....that new barn smell......
I'm waiting for your farm tour video
Did your razor break?
Cheers to you. ..
3 guarantees with concrete
1 it is going to get hard
2 it is going to crack
3 nobody its going to steal it
Hope someday I can work on farm like this 💗💗😥🙏
Congratulations.
Hello eric! Can you do a video about how you keep track of the cows on your computer? What program u use etc,…
Trois...LOL
👍
Farming Isn't Easy Tell the Truth Of how you feel. I was 12 when my father took out taxes on me ..Paying for the low incomes families to help their families to live
Ain’t it better for natural ground for cows?
👍👍
Μπράβο
Andrew ,sorry man
Wouldn't cows rather lay on earth?
They bed the concrete with wood shavings.
