My love of 45 years and I from upstate NY near Bennington VT totally enjoy all your videos! We live on 6 acres in a rural area near a large Dairy Farm “Herringtons”. They spray the liquid manure in fields all around us. Stinky stuff! We wondered why the farm chose to spray on the hottest windy days. Watching your videos has given me an understanding of the process and the need for efficient farming practices.
Enjoy your time working with your dad Eric. The best years of my life was when my dad and I worked together but it was after he was gone that I realized it. I miss him every day.
I have to agree, you never know what you have until they are no longer there next to you giving you advice on any questions you might have and it hit me when I lost my mum last year as she was there for me day or night
I work with my Dad every day on our family farm, we may have our days where we don't always get along, but man when he's gone idk what I'm gonna do with myself, he's one of my best friends!
always kickin my father to take it slower than he is currently. honestly love doing shit for my dad, even if its just the manual labor parts of what he's doing. learned a lot of lessons from the old man.
Eric,you are a Good man and son,,the kindness you show your cows,,it will all come back from your creator God to you.. you're a lot like your Dad and look how he is blessed,,also you're patient with problems , your children will pick that up so fast,trust me..it's a great trait to have..Lord bless you all....
One of the many things I like about your videos is how you film and publish what to those of us who’ve worked on dairy farms would seem to be mundane activities. It gives those people with no dairy farm background a chance to see some of the many things a farmer needs to do himself in order to stay in business. As always, great video !!
I think a brief weather update would be welcomed, like “it’s a beautiful morning here, it’s about XX degrees and as you can see the sun is shining. Perfect weather for (insert today’s job here).” It’s always neat to hear what people around the country/world call a beautiful day in their current season :)
Hi Eric - Here’s an idea for a YT short video - a series on the cow brushes. I love watching them use them and a bunch of short clips all focused on the different brushes and the cows using them would be kinda cool. Hope you and your family has a great thanksgiving together. Thanks for all ur posts.
What an awesome treat for everyone! Def loved the longer video, Eric! Enjoyed the classic "Eric stumbles upon a soda" gag. They always make me laugh. Anyway, thank you for sharing the long video with all of us. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope that you and the wife, the kids, your mom and dad (and the wife's), and of course the rest of the family all had a fantastic day! I know you guys don't really get a day off for holidays usually in the farming/Ag/Dairy industry, but hopefully you two were able to spend a little bit of extra time with the family. The new hoodies and beanies look great! Personally, I'm partial to hoodies, but since I'm a little bit of a bigger guy it can sometimes be tough to find them in my size. I'll have to take a look and see what you guys have to offer. Or, I suppose I could get out there and work with you guys on the farm for a little while and drop a few of those lbs. LOL. Anyway, loved the video and look forward to seeing the next one. Take care and God bless. 🙏
Eric, Put a wire brush in your angle grinder and clean your welds up. Then spray the welded areas with Rust-Oleum "Cold Galvanizing Compound" and let it dry. Also clean the rust off your head locks and spray them to prevent further rusting. This product works great. I use it on my galvanized chain link fence and it stops the rusting for years. Keep up the good work.
Nice to see you and Dad working together, my Dad and I also worked together farming. He now has been gone for more than 20 years I truly miss our time together.
That barn is well thought out, whenever we did things in the pens and the heifers were going to be a pest we would give them a treat and set the headlocks. Also always keep a couple of heaters on hand for the waterers as it always seemed that our supplier had them on back order during the coldest part of the winter.
Yes, the last group of heifers definitely was more of an audience for the water heater installation. I saw "happy heifers" with the new bedding too. I guess it doesn't take much to amuse them.
I'm not sure if someone can do it but I'd like it if someone could make a map on farming simulator 22 of your farm. With all the fields and cows it would be pretty cool to play around with it.
When anyone says that "something just doesn't make any sense," and can explain as to why it wasn't in a way that all can understand, that is my definition of common sense with a healthy dose of good communication skills. Keep it up.
I remember freeze ups being frustrating. 1970 and 80’s. Hair dryers and hot water bottles helped if not froze hard. All it took would be a door not shut tight. 🇨🇦
FYI, I have a 120/220 welder that I can literally carry anywhere there is power. For a minimal investment it might save seem time in the future. Happy Holidays!
Thought the cows were going to rush you and make a break for it when you were doing the stalls. They are funny when they gather around you wanting to see what's your doing maybe help
Looks like that robot is working with the new wheels now. I remember that was a concern after that last mix up with the wheels. And the Duct Tape fix... totally a Red Green secret weapon.
Eric.....get one of the 110V flux core welders. Weigh less than 20#'s and just plug it into any outlet with a 20 amp breaker. EZY PEEZY, and they're not expensive.
Oh no, I wanted a hoodie and my size is sold out! Please get more! Love your channel! Nice to see someone local with great content. (I live in York, PA.)
Woudnt it have been easier to replace the whole section with the new one and than keeping the half from the old that was still good for repairs? That way the new one would be fully intact.
Great videos it’s always fun to see the cows react to the new bedding they look happy jumping around I’m sure there must be a harbor fright in your area or look on Amazon They both have amazing wire feed using gas or flux core wire this would be best for outside ware the wind would blow the gas away or stick, tig or many different combinations of wilders for under 200 to 300 bucks These things are the size of a 12 pack of soda and they run off of 110 Ya that’s right you can plug it in any ware And surprisingly these are great welders and a great value for this kind of portability
I just had a video recommended to me called "10th Generation Dairyman Is The BEST TH-camr To Follow.. Here's Why!". Thanks for the recommendation TH-cam but I already knew that. 😀
Big magnet on a rope works well to find screws and hardware buried in bedding. Hopefully the curious heifers did not ingest them as it could lead to hardware disease
2 things as a suggestion , flexvolt grinder and most important a bosch recovery blade ore likevise fore the tigersaw ,greetings from norweigian farmer.
It's amazing how you can set up the camera on a fence and you and your dad move cows into the pen and the first thing do is find the camera and start licking it every time it's kinda funny that they do that.
😃The AI on the robot is attempting to get on your good side - next time, it’ll be a chocolate milk ambush!!!🤣 The new hoodies look awesome (I need to make an addition to my Christmas list) 👍🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸👍
9:39 the problem is you did not get manure on the duct tape. It would have lasted forever if you had done that. 0:50 I did not know A&W made chocolate milk! I learn something on every one of your videos! Thanks!
Eric I hope I missed something, I Love your Family, Farm and everything Y'ALL do !!! I hope your Dad was wearing his eye protection, It mite have been edited out an I missed it ! I would hate for Him to mis out on seeing any of your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ! I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but we have to remind each other all the time SAFTY FIRST ! A quick job can cause a permanent injury !!! GOD BLESS Y'ALL

I had the chance to work with my son and teach him to paint and do drywall finishing..best time ever working with him I miss it a ton
always kickin my father to take it slower than he is currently. honestly love doing shit for my dad, even if its just the manual labor parts of what he's doing. learned a lot of lessons from the old man.
words of wisdom
So funny how happy the cows get with new bedding 😂 & how curious they are.
Eric,you are a Good man and son,,the kindness you show your cows,,it will all come back from your creator God to you.. you're a lot like your Dad and look how he is blessed,,also you're patient with problems , your children will pick that up so fast,trust me..it's a great trait to have..Lord bless you all....
Enjoy watching you and your Dad do maintenance together…he’s been a real mentor for you when it comes to handing over the reins to the family farm…❤️

It's really nice to see you and your Dad working together Eric. That is a pleasure that many of us never had. Enjoyed the video.
I so enjoy watching you and your dad work together. He and you have such great work ethics great knowledge to get things right and working
It is amazing how a little job becomes very involved, but that is the nature of the beast. Always love watching you and your Dad working. Thanks.
WOW- repairs and looking out for the cows' legs scraping on clamps. Lots of working parts to a dairy farm most people don't consider!
That barn is well thought out, whenever we did things in the pens and the heifers were going to be a pest we would give them a treat and set the headlocks. Also always keep a couple of heaters on hand for the waterers as it always seemed that our supplier had them on back order during the coldest part of the winter.

Wow. This would be amazing.
That would be awesome!
Or just get lost if you play there at night in real life. Such a hugh place. Cool. Jason and Micheal Meyers would find it hard to find me.
I love how all the neighboring farms help one another.
Nice work. Repairs and tweaks never end. God bless you all.

This is what I needed after 5 thanksgivings with the crazy family 😂👍🏻
5 YIKES 😬 😂🙋♀️
No matter how crazy, Cherish it.
FYI, I have a 120/220 welder that I can literally carry anywhere there is power. For a minimal investment it might save seem time in the future. Happy Holidays!
Great video eric, thanks for being a farming family
I love to see the happy cows enjoying their fresh bedding!
Thought the cows were going to rush you and make a break for it when you were doing the stalls. They are funny when they gather around you wanting to see what's your doing maybe help
Love the humor in this video!! Always feels great to check the small project off the list.
Crack me up how the older cows get all up in your business lol👍👍
Nice beverage delivery!
Now he has got the robot bringing him a drink. There is nothing better than an A &W and a dip of vanilla ice cream
Time for a welder/generator combo, so worth the money, you save so much time
You and your dad make a good team. He has and still is setting such a good example on how to be a great man
Looks like that robot is working with the new wheels now. I remember that was a concern after that last mix up with the wheels. And the Duct Tape fix... totally a Red Green secret weapon.
Temp would good to know especially in the winter months. Thanks Eric, great channel.
Eric.....get one of the 110V flux core welders. Weigh less than 20#'s and just plug it into any outlet with a 20 amp breaker. EZY PEEZY, and they're not expensive.
I love how the cows have to know what's happening all the time. They love to watch Eric work.
Love the “I got new bedding “ happy dances!
Another great video. You and your dad work well together. Feel free to share the weather updates with us.
It’s nice when a plan comes together.
We put a light bulb inside as well. Light bulb creates just a little bit of heat to raise the temp just a little inside the waterer.
Yea you were right about the the older cows they are curious so fun to watch
Yes Eric , sometimes if temporary works it becomes permanent ! Makes life easier. Regards from Scotland 🏴
7:18 Happy girls. I just love seeing that
Thanks, get a magnet on a handle at the farm store to find the screws.
3:03 I see the supervisor is making sure you guys are working
Harbor freight has a generator/welder combo. The welder isn’t great but it will do in a pinch. It also fits in the back of a side x side
Ever since I was about 19-20, the weather is pretty important anymore.
You could get a suitcase welder that can still use 1/8 rod for small jobs.
Hahaha, pretty funny how curious those older heifers are!! 😂
Omg that snapshot at 17:58 of all the older cows making a complete circle around you watching you work is hilarious 😂
Oh no, I wanted a hoodie and my size is sold out! Please get more! Love your channel! Nice to see someone local with great content. (I live in York, PA.)
So cute to watch the cows jumping around on the fresh bedding
Great video! It's always something to fix on a farm and yes heifers at that older age can be such a pain!
You two work so hard. If there’s a problem you fix it! 👏🏼
There is no greater joy than working side by side with your son to get a job done right.
A little grinding/wire brush/spray paint on the cuts/welds will push off the rust.
Cows are really unique animals👍👍
Eric, you and your Dad make a good team! Enjoy your videos!
Woudnt it have been easier to replace the whole section with the new one and than keeping the half from the old that was still good for repairs? That way the new one would be fully intact.
Your mind reading skills are amazing 😀
Should get one from an auction and with a snow blade on for winter, that way it has more than one use. Better than using the skid steer for winter.
Never knew you had merch till I read comments had to buy some. Love the videos got my own small farm right now
Great videos it’s always fun to see the cows react to the new bedding they look happy jumping around
I’m sure there must be a harbor fright in your area or look on Amazon
They both have amazing wire feed using gas or flux core wire this would be best for outside ware the wind would blow the gas away or stick, tig or many different combinations of wilders for under 200 to 300 bucks
These things are the size of a 12 pack of soda and they run off of 110
Ya that’s right you can plug it in any ware
And surprisingly these are great welders and a great value for this kind of portability
I gotta say it again... the way the sun shines in your cow barns 👌
Good idea to do that welding job post haste. Otherwise it gets left till something bad happens.
For sure look into getting your rails POWDERCOATED to help withstand all the stool and water and stuff it will help a lot
Saw that old tractor and the first thing that popped into my head was Green Acres.
I just had a video recommended to me called "10th Generation Dairyman Is The BEST TH-camr To Follow.. Here's Why!". Thanks for the recommendation TH-cam but I already knew that. 😀
Big magnet on a rope works well to find screws and hardware buried in bedding. Hopefully the curious heifers did not ingest them as it could lead to hardware disease
Love your videos, hope your making a few bucks. great hard working families.
My Dad loved to say "If you can't Duck it, chuck it"...
just a helpful hint a pair of jumper cables can extend welding leads for a job like the one your doing.
Can the gates in the new barn be raised up so you’re able to go a bit longer between clean out, or to use the bean bales again? Cows are great help.
You should find a soda on the big magnet in the feed mixer
Good idea but aluminum doesn't stick to magnets
And that generator is not easy to back up. Good job
People frown on it but you can make extension cords for your welder. Just get really really good 50 amp wire or whatever amperage your welder uses
It's always the simple jobs that take forever
In a pinch you can use jumper cables to extend your stinger line on the welder
2 things as a suggestion , flexvolt grinder and most important a bosch recovery blade ore likevise fore the tigersaw ,greetings from norweigian farmer.
Enjoyed watching the older heifers check you out. Cheers 🇨🇦
One should know that cows are the most curious and nosy animals one can think of, it's really funny. Nice video once again.
Drag a magnet through the area. Should pick up those screws.
It's amazing how you can set up the camera on a fence and you and your dad move cows into the pen and the first thing do is find the camera and start licking it every time it's kinda funny that they do that.
Great how you work together.
I leave ours in all year so far they have lasted 4 years. Always plugged in.
I love those drink jokes you do! Creative!
😃The AI on the robot is attempting to get on your good side - next time, it’ll be a chocolate milk ambush!!!🤣
The new hoodies look awesome (I need to make an addition to my Christmas list) 👍🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸👍
Hi Eric. Loved how much "help" you had at the end of the video.
At 17:55 all I can hear is "What are you doing Eric? Huh? What are you doing in there?"
I got the box now, catch me if ya can!!!!!! Enjoyed
9:39 the problem is you did not get manure on the duct tape. It would have lasted forever if you had done that.
0:50 I did not know A&W made chocolate milk! I learn something on every one of your videos! Thanks!
Father and son hard at work. Cue robot, coming thru don’t mind me 😂
Eric I hope I missed something, I Love your Family, Farm and everything Y'ALL do !!! I hope your Dad was wearing his eye protection, It mite have been edited out an I missed it ! I would hate for Him to mis out on seeing any of your BEAUTIFUL FAMILY ! I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but we have to remind each other all the time SAFTY FIRST ! A quick job can cause a permanent injury !!!
GOD BLESS Y'ALL
So nice to impact wrenches
Those heifers are like large toddlers, getting into everything and endlessly curious 😅😂
The cows watching you work 😆 so funny
Sturdi-built makes a weldable bracket instead of cutting the bolt on bracket. But it looks like you were already well into the project.
Yeah we should have just got those instead, was hoping to avoid having to get the welder over.
Refreshment robot 😂🤣😂.Heffers sure are crazy.
to get a 220 extension cord go to a rv store or order one online. You can get lengths of 25 to 50 ft.
Love seeing the girls on the fresh bedding
