being a dairy farmer myself i love to see how relaxed your cows are when you walk to get them always a sign of a good and caring environment ! love the vids by the way from your fan in canada
Lots of Canadian fans here. Your videos always show just how many things need fixing, basically on a daily basis. 59 degree mornings that's 15 C here. That is awonderful way to start the day as it still manages to end up over 80F.
These mornings are getting to feel like fall but days are still beautiful!! I just loved how those cows 🐄 just got right up when you told them to 😊. Nice fix on the silo door. Great video!!🌞🌽
Eric, your work ethic is off the charts .. I'm always astounded by it. It's really something to watch. I recommend your channel to people all the time. (including to the folks at Mtn Dew).
I think the most important thing your channel does is show how much you care for these animals. Keeping them clean, happy and healthy is so nice to see.
What a happy surprise to see a video. I love watching all your videos and I can hardly wait for the corn to be harvested. Thanks and blessings to you and yours,
I had to laugh at how those cows jumped right up when you told them to get up and whistled at them. They know the game, don't they? They are such wonderful animals. I have always had a special place in my heart for cows.
Shout out to the unsung hero working tirelessly day in and day out, the machine that works behind the scenes that we almost never think about but crosses my mind every time you're in and out of a dirty, dusty, cobwebby place...Your washing machine...:D
Our calves sure enjoyed this latest cool front! Even my son commented how nice it was to work in the barn on Monday. He called me and said it is 69 degrees in the barn this is awesome!
Really like when you show the milking process and the cows. They looked soo comfy on their water beds. My grandparents had a couple of Guernsey milk cows. I loved 'helping' and then watching the process of putting it thru a separator. :-)
I watch all of your video's. I have never commented on them, but I want you to know that I am really grateful for what you do to produce food for the consumer. You don't get the thanks that you deserve. I just want you to know that I am proud that you are who you are, and the complete job you do on your dairy. God Bless.
Man Eric, you sure are one busy guy! Always lots to do on the farm. Great video! Thanks so much for making the videos for us to watch. It sure shows us the hard work on the farm we don't see. Amazing how much work you do before breakfast!!! Thanks again and take care Eric, I always look forward to your videos.
I grew up on a dairy farm...its more than just chores...its a way of life...its the interaction of the family members...the kids playing in the corn crib..the old dog asleep on the porch...the family coming together at dinner and talking about the day...could you show more of the non - chore side of things let us relive the feelings of life on the farm
I always hit the button as soon as the video starts, with my memory it's either do it now or never do it lol.The wife says I should wait to see if I really like it before I hit the button, my reply is if they did stuff I don't like I wouldn't sub to them to begin with lol
I just found the channel and want to say thanks for sharing. My family used to have a dairy farm when I was a kid but they switched over to crops before I can remember much.
Thank you for being a Dairy farmer. Without you life would be taste less and boring. Hardwork does pay off. So thanks for working hard. And making happy cows. Cause happy cows make happy milk. And happy cows dont only come from California
I wonder what the other heifers thought about the one laying in the walkway, “look at her, she’s embarrassing herself 🙄” 😂🤣😂. Hoping we’ll get to see how the milk is processed in a future video
I love your videos!! what an awesome life. my uncle owned a dairy farm for 45+ years and every summer I would go work. He sold out a couple of years ago & has an AMAZING retirement. - Wish I could have that life.. to bad ill most likely waste away in an office job -_- haha. thanks for sharing!
That was always a job I didn't care to do was raising the unloader. We had to hand crank for a few years and then we got a big drill and chucked it on the shaft but could only run it for about 15 minutes then let it cool and repeat. And the old unloader had a big concrete filled saw tooth wheel that drove it around the silo that had to be moved to the center to raise then put back towards the wall when filled. For a few years we didn't have an unloader and used silage forks to throw silage out when we feed. No wonder my shoulders are shot today. Manure, silage, corn, oats, snow everything was Armstrong powered. Lol that was old style farming.
Its just insane that people can actually dislike your videos. Im just a young bartender but man....do your videos interest and entertain me so much. Keep it up! Dew the dew baby!!!
I love how well you care for your animals and how clean you keep the place. Have you ever considered piping in like classical music or other soothing music? I heard it helps improve milk quantity.
First of all we are all very lucky to have such a kick-ass bro as yourself that takes so much pride in your work and is a very hard worker it's crazy man but I've been telling people my whole life Dairy Farmers are the hardest workers in the world it's crazy on what all you have to do on a daily basis and just want to say thank you man for all you do all you guys it's people like you that deserve everything brother Lamborghini helicopter big yacht all that good stuff have a good one man and I'm sure I'll see plenty more of your videos stay safe man👍👍👍👍👍👍👊👊👊👊
Hi, I’m just a city boy, never worked a farm but always loved being out in the country by farms when I can. I have a couple questions, how long do you generally have the cows for? If I had a farm, I would have a hard time having livestock, because they would become my pets. It is appear to to me that you really love these cows by the way you take care of them, do you have a hard time letting them go when they are done? Do you bread the cows, or just buy them from someone else? Thank you for everything you guys do for the rest of us, I just cannot get over how much work you do everyday, I’m tired just watching you work, now I’m ready for a nap! Lol seriously though, God bless you and your family! Would love to see your farm someday, but I’m in Michigan, so probably will be a while!
As soon as I saw your video pop up on my notifications I clicked out a live stream I was watching to watch your video and it was worth clicking out of the live stream. Thanks for the video. BTW if the Munsters ever need any cobwebs they should contact your farm you have plenty.
@@8ftbed What is your point? All farms have tons of spiderwebs. I was just making a joke b/c there are tons of them and I do remember the show and I am his age. It's been on reruns since I was little. Everyone is so tuchy.
Another great video you have posted! I would like to know your opinion please on your dairy cow housing and milking parlour layout and what you like, what you don't like and whether there is anything you would change?
very good Eric. I wasn't sure how a silo works. 20x72, wow! Can that equate to so many acres? Or does that vary, per crop? The cows are my favorite part. That new cow that wasn't on her bed, will you halter her then tie her for a night or 2 on the bed? The floor she was on looks comfy, looks like thick rubber. So she's probably comfy anyway. Gotta go, I'll write more later. very good video. thank you eric
Thanks to your videos Eric, I'm learning more about dairying all the time. Two questions: 1. Is that a bag of lime that you split open and add to the bedding? 2. When the silo is full and you start using the unloader, do you have to climb up and close each door as the blower moves below it or do the doors stay open until you're ready to fill the silo again next season?
Another fantastic video just one thing would love to see what you guys have for breakfast what time do you go in for it God speed to you and all your family .
hi, i really like your videos. how long do you use water beds? what are your cell count and how much cases of matitis? have you ever thought changing to sand bedding? i really love your content keep the good job
I would really like to see how you pack the silage in the bunker silos. Please don't skip over that I know it is coming up since you are almost empty and your corn is ready.
I'm enjoying catching up on some of the older vids. Thought we were going to have a "Field of Dreams" moment (6:20) there for a minute. But alas, no old baseball players emerged. :(
What activity were you involved in when you were in the FFA. Milk tasting? I did the meats, I wasn't very good at judging what animal, what cut, n what part of the body it came from but boy was it fun. I never strived in the program but I tried.
You are so expert at doing so many different things - giving shots, driving machines, fixing things, moving cows, milking cows, testing the corn...How old are you?
What about the yellow foam? I know it's pre milking and it's desinfecting ,but is it really necessary? Seems like it takes a lot of time. We only use alcoholic based wipes.
Another good Video. Keep up the good work. My channel has been doing lot better, Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Awsome channel man!!
What was dry matter for corn?
I love the compassion you have for your animals, I love your channel

The happier the cow the more and better milk it produces that’s what my pappy told me
@@jimf-150 i am nice to animals becuase i am a total animal lover. On our farm the cows were my pets 😆
Eric, your like the Energizer Bunny Keeps on working. Thank You for your hard work and time.

I wouldn’t mind working here with cows. No talking back with attitude . Exercise, plenty of exercise. Working with dad. Your a good son.💕
Wow, bad bearings can cause fires. Keep an eye on it when using it. Great video. My respect to all farmers but especially dairy farmers!
Yeah I like your videos. I grew up on a small farm with hogs & feeder cattle. I can see your busy all the time and never a dull moment.
These videos are so relaxing and I learn so much about this lifestyle. It’s amazing! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming! ☺️

You inspire me Eric. You are a hard worker and a good man. Great job your parents did in raising you! 🌽🌽🐄🐄
Thanks for letting have a sneak peak into your life. As always enjoyed
I’m liking the more frequent videos!
Grew up on a farm in Texas. Hard rewarding work. Thanks for sharing your work life.
Awesome video as always. Love the country music in the parlor background noise. Love how you do love your ladies

Imagine being that cow😂
Nobody:
3:00 AM:
Nobody:
Farmer: (whistles) “EVERYBODY WAKE UP ITS TIME TO MILK.”
Happy you posted!
Ah I remember fighting with the silo doors lol. Nice video Eric, I hope harvest goes smooth no breakdowns and good weather for you
Just love how the cows look so comfy. Just chilling...

You do a great job. Enjoy your videos very much. Thank you
You have a lot of very happy and well cared for girls 😊 love your vids and love your set up too
I love how well you care for your animals and how clean you keep the place. Have you ever considered piping in like classical music or other soothing music? I heard it helps improve milk quantity.
You have to show us your breakfast too! Unless its pop tarts then don't bother
Love watching your videos it's interesting to see the differences between milking cows and milking goats on my farm.
My 1 and a half year old was asking where the soda was when you walked into the corn field😆
Yes it is ammay

I mentioned this before. You keep a really clean farm and don't cut corners
Great video as always! The explanations are always cool to learn from
Sing us a song in that silo! I bet even I would sound epic with those acoustics.
As expected, another great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
This man always giving out vaccines
You are one hard-working man.
Do the cows have water beds? The pins look nice you can see the pride you take in your family's farm it's awesome
Im glad im not the only one that gets up at 3am to work. I was in a silo once found out big guys aren't made for silos.
Thumbs up for another interesting video
And also thumbs up for rocking the Philadelphia Eagles shirt
Can you show what you eat for one day? I am always curious about breakfast!
Yeah, same. What does he eat that gives him enough energy for 18-hour days farming?
Usually have eggs for breakfast

Once, a young child was watching the Holsteins leaving the barn and said, "Oh, look at the elephants!".
Your quite gentle with the ladies in the morning when it’s time for milking.
I've got to say I am looking forward to harvest. Silos are not common here in Western TN where I am from.

Great video, our stave silo had a silo matic unloader in it , was all sorts of fun
I don’t know if you saw my comment on the last video but thanks for including time stamps👌🏼
I would like to hear feedback to those that hit thumbs down on this video. I'm just curious as to their reasoning. What were their expectations, etc.
Do you realizes how much normal people appreciate your efforts?

Erik, have you ever taken some big speakers inside one of those silos and jammed out? I'm sure it would sound weird.
Ugh I miss milking so much! Thanks for my relaxing milking video fix!!
Love your videos. How many times a day do you milk the cows?
Makes me jealous about how you guys clean your water tubs. We have to pull rubber stops at each end of ours. :/ Lol.
Great video look forward to the next one!
Whoa, it appears the webs from 10,000 spiders are inside that silo. No way to clean it out before filling?
anytime your in the silo it feels like a horror movie and there is about to be a jump scare
