As usual when I see your videos, I'm just blown away with how much the American farmer does each day. He or she must be an electrician, plumber, carpenter, heavy and light equipment mechanic, veterinary technician, "bovine dietician" if I can call it that, lol, computer savvy and of course be a good business accountant. No wonder your workdays go well beyond sunup to sundown! Your videos are a great PR hit for the general public that thinks milk comes out of a jug. Thanks for your great videos!!
Such a nice simple job you have. Plumber, electrician, carpenter, roofer, welder, equipment operator, vehicle maintenance, animal nutritionist, veterinarian, accountant, videographer, editor, UAV operator, agronomist, ag chem applicator, what else am I leaving out here? Oh, yeah, TH-cam rock star! Keep up the good work!
Love living as a dairy farmer vicariously through you. Sometimes life as an engineer can be boring. I have my work cut out for me with structural evaluations in SW Florida now after Hurricane Ian. Thanks for the video.
I love seeing the ladies laying down in their stalls and napping or just relaxing :) you guys really do care for them very well and it shows!! I’m sure I don’t get your products in Arizona but I sure do appreciate you and your family being farmers and dairymen and helping to feed America!! 😊🎉 thank you from our family to yours!
What it do y'all?? Been a ride or die on this farm since day 1!!! These cows are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND TAKEN CARE OF!!!!! Eric, his dad and the staff work HARD TO BRING A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT!!!!!
I used to feed on a 600 cow dairy. They fed ionic salts also. I think they had one milk fever case in 9 months. It really helps the older cows. More than anything
Hi Eric, I liked your explanation of the reason you all choose not to use feed troughs, it certainly is a good one. You guys do a really good job at caring for your cows, feeding the blended grain and mineral for better calving is just one of several great points. There is just so much you all do there, I have to tip my hat to your stick with it positive attitude. Thanks for the video, I liked it, have a great week.
There's been times in my Life, where I worked 7 days a week, months & years on end. I'll be 63 in January. Been disabled since Sep 2009. It's been an adjustment. Love Farmers. Stay Safe, for as Long as You can. God Bless.
I am glad that you were able to get the kinks worked out of the robotic alley scrapers. The barns really look comfortable, and the cows clean as usual. It was sure fun to see Dutches trying to help your dad with the electrical repairs. You know she just wants to be involved with everything. So you might want to consider giving her a little more air time in your videos. Just a thought. Thanks for all of your hard work 😊 and have a blessed week!
Really enjoyed a great video. It good to see what y'all put into your feed for the cows. How y'all take care of them and how you explain things from why y'all do things a certion way to why y'all add certion things to the feed. Love watching duchess run around making sure y'all doing it right. Y'all stay safe and be careful. God bless y'all.
Great video Eric! After seeing you working on the silo unloader and the feed pusher - I was thinking the new feed mixer has been a steady piece of equipment for heavy, daily use. You do a good job of maintaining your equipment and much of it is running well. Don't know that I can recall a big problem with your milking system either.
I'm watching Eric at 6:23 thinking to myself, "that has to be fun." Eric at 7:00, "that's still a fun job even though I've been doing it for many years."
Great video as usual that feeding cattle stuff would be confusing I've done it before but not quite like that can't wait to see more of your guys's Farm take care and God bless
Ten Gen, thanks for the explanation of the profile of the feed area. It helps to understand why its not cupped or J shaped and is flat. Little 'Jack Russel' terrier sure look like she's getting familiar with the routine and is helping you do your work.
I've mentioned a few times over the years that you should do weekly inspection of the feed machine that pushes the feed back to the cows. If you did PM maintenance weekly, cleaning adjusting, oiling, fixing stuff it would look great and work great. Fix the issues before they become break downs. Like I mentioned before too, that kind of attention to detail come from me being in the US Marines for 13 years and in another military branch for 12 years, plus 14 years civil service with the US Military
I love your posts and your work ethic. I hope you get time to spend with your young family. I live in Adelaide South Australia and I watch all your posts. Thank you.
It's funny how some cows like to put their head into the feed flowing out of the mixer where others turn their heads to avoid it. I wish you would make a video about some of their quirky behaviors and curiosity. Cow humor!
Know that feels when its dreary weather rainy can’t get in fields nothing really to do except fixes things around the farm mix feed sort cattle the ones that our do to have calf’s, clean calf pen’s . Give shots or trim hoofs and milk cows. Something different and explain how the minerals help cows with calf’s that was interesting to watch Eric good video.
Hey Eric. I am a dairy farmer from Schleswig-Holstein. It’s the northernmost state in Germany. I am currently in the US for Tourism. It’s great here ! Wish you and your farm all the best.
Look at his dad. He’s fit. Eric is built for this work. He works smart, no harder. He’s a quick study. His dad knows that. He ware’s a mask around dust now. Bottom line is that he loves this line of work. 🙂
A dairy farmer friend of mine (one of only 10 in Bucks county these days) explained the idea of TMR feeding. His set up is in a tie stall barn with most of the feeding done as they are milking. I have always been curious about how long it takes to completely mix what you do.
You were talking a bit about the variations in feed mixes for the cattle at different stages of production. Do the cattle that are actually lactating and being milked eat more to provide the energy to produce milk then the dry cows or is their intake about the same? Also thanks for the effort you put into your videos. I really enjoy watching and learning. You do a great job.
As hard as you all work it is good to have less demanding days. I thought the rewiring of the silo was very interesting. Will you tear down the silo you will not use any more? Silo, bags, or bunks, which is best regarding cost and labor?
Eric, I so enjoy the videos. I have such enormous respect for farmers who feed the population. Given these inflationary times, would you care to address the financial issues that farmers are facing at the present times and how inflationary costs of doing business affects the cost of milk and other dairy products? You might talk about the cost of fuel and other costs farmers face on a daily basis.
hi, that mixer doesn't look like it can mix that mineral evenly there is such a small amount it doesn't seem possible, we always put it on by hand after from a bucket, just something i noticed because it is an important step in the health of the ladies and i care. thnx
I really enjoy watching you feed and take care of your cows. But with all that exposed grain, how do you control mice, rats, and other grain loving pests?
🇨🇦 we were wondering how you have your 1/2 barrel ( we think they’re mineral feeders ?) @13:21 attached? We used the bottom 1/2 of a 5 gallon pail, drilled two holes and fastened a chain through and the heifers still manage to push them away and eventually break the pail.
Have you tried that pro bios stuff on the calves when you take them to the new calf barn? Its a once and done thing. Its a miracle worker i give it to all my animals even the cat and dog when they eat stupid stuff.
Like seeing Billy Badger is still at it there. Guy here took the gear box off a Badger unloader and rigged it up to run the rotisserie on his pig roaster. That has nothing to do with this video. Just sitting here waiting for our scrape alley scrapper to cycle. Takes 1/2 hour, figured I’d watch 10th Gen whilst I waited
Have you looked into a machine called Sherpa it's similar to the machine you use to feed your cows. You won't need a tractor to pull it and you don't need skid steer to shave corn stored in your bunks as it will do it for you and put it into it's mixer.
Have y’all thought of putting a scale in the skid loader for loading the grain and such? Seems like it may be more efficient, just not sure if it’s possible and what the cost would be.
Thats not a practical way of doing it and would offer no advantage. Besides they would still need the scales on the mix/feeder wagon to proportion out the feed to the various groups.

Also after several years of watching the feed mixing is still fun to watch :D
Wow, never realized how much goes into your feed mix...thanks for taking g us along....🙏🙏🚜👨🌾🚜😍😍

Happy National Farmer's Day !! sorry a bit belated. ( was Oct 12 )Thank you for all your hard work for the cows and ultimately for us !!!
I used to feed on a 600 cow dairy. They fed ionic salts also. I think they had one milk fever case in 9 months. It really helps the older cows. More than anything
This was really pleasant to watch while eating my breakfast. Always love the bonus Dutchess footage!

I really love how clean the robats keep the allys! I bet the cows like it too!

U are a hardworking young man good job Eric keep the videos coming.
Very good explanations and reasoning was interesting to hear. Thanks Eric.
I'm watching Eric at 6:23 thinking to myself, "that has to be fun." Eric at 7:00, "that's still a fun job even though I've been doing it for many years."
Great video as usual that feeding cattle stuff would be confusing I've done it before but not quite like that can't wait to see more of your guys's Farm take care and God bless
You guys do the best job feeding of all the dairy TH-camrs that I follow ! Just sayin
Ten Gen, thanks for the explanation of the profile of the feed area. It helps to understand why its not cupped or J shaped and is flat. Little 'Jack Russel' terrier sure look like she's getting familiar with the routine and is helping you do your work.
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Really enjoy watching you mix the feed batches and your explanation of what and why you feed what you do are excellent.
How about a post on the pup - what a little scene stealer that one is!! Bob in Nevada

Another week another handful of 10th Gen farming videos!
I love your posts and your work ethic. I hope you get time to spend with your young family. I live in Adelaide South Australia and I watch all your posts. Thank you.
I think I have followed for around 5 years, I am actually rocking a 10the gen tshirt today, keep up the great content.
Cows look in Excellent condition!
bless all farmers ranchers dairies transporters 💚
It's funny how some cows like to put their head into the feed flowing out of the mixer where others turn their heads to avoid it. I wish you would make a video about some of their quirky behaviors and curiosity. Cow humor!
really really awesome video. Thank you Eric.
We use mag flakes with our 21 days dry group. Have some success. Definitely more consistent when we do a partial decab instead of a full decab.
Fixing & feeding are two of the most important jobs on the farm. stay safe.

Hey Eric. I am a dairy farmer from Schleswig-Holstein. It’s the northernmost state in Germany.
I am currently in the US for Tourism. It’s great here !
Wish you and your farm all the best.
Being from the South(North Carolina), we love molasses mixed with a little butter and eat it on a biscuit or other breakfast bread…..
I don't know what ya'll would do without that little Kubota!
I love seeing how other dairy farms work. Good job on the video!!
Wow, that little dog can run faster than that ATV. She is quick.
LOVE ❤️ ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC
Lov your Dog so willing and definitely got to be there
I love Dutchess she go full speed all the time
Hope you got your feed sweeper fixed and running. Another great video!
Great work, super video 👍😉
Good job as always my friend
Thanks 😊
Love your content
I’ve been curious about the physical toll on Eric while running the farm . So much fixing, repairing and planned maintenance needed .
Look at his dad. He’s fit. Eric is built for this work. He works smart, no harder. He’s a quick study. His dad knows that. He ware’s a mask around dust now. Bottom line is that he loves this line of work. 🙂
Great video. I hope you did not get too much rain from Ian. Thanks.
Looks like the Dutchess of York is turning into a good little helper?
Great awesome video Eric.
The puppy just wants to help
Hello, hello, hello!! Bizzare upload time but I'm happy with it... keeping me happy this afternoon across the pond! 🇬🇧
Enjoy your videos. Thank You

You guys really should look into a feed pusher for skid steer. Save a lot of time for situation like this. Have a good one
Thank u for another great video.

Eric, if there is a skidsteer or trailer backing Olympics, you should enter... You'll likely win 1st place!
As hard as you all work it is good to have less demanding days. I thought the rewiring of the silo was very interesting. Will you tear down the silo you will not use any more? Silo, bags, or bunks, which is best regarding cost and labor?
Hiya, another great video, thank you, Steve...
Hi Eric and dad beautiful video as always and hard working all the time and as always you and you’re dad and families all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
The best way to explain that extra mineral... Prenatal vitamins! Women take them too, although I am sure they are formulated a bit differently. 😁
Good morning Erick, have a nice day!
Good Morning Sir!
Great content Eric 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
13:35 I think one of the cows is having a good time xD
Eric, I so enjoy the videos. I have such enormous respect for farmers who feed the population.

You might talk about the cost of fuel and other costs farmers face on a daily basis.
Another awesome video. What would you estimate the daily water consumption of your cows 🐄
Such happy cows!
hi, that mixer doesn't look like it can mix that mineral evenly there is such a small amount it doesn't seem possible, we always put it on by hand after from a bucket, just something i noticed because it is an important step in the health of the ladies and i care. thnx
I really enjoy watching you feed and take care of your cows. But with all that exposed grain, how do you control mice, rats, and other grain loving pests?
Saw you at Lapp Valley Farms in New Holland PA.
Time for a Jamesway/Valmetal ring drive silo unloader in that far stave and get rid of the bags!
You could build some kind of pushing device for the Toro and use it for the heifers feed and when the feed pusher isn’t working.
🇨🇦 we were wondering how you have your 1/2 barrel ( we think they’re mineral feeders ?) @13:21 attached? We used the bottom 1/2 of a 5 gallon pail, drilled two holes and fastened a chain through and the heifers still manage to push them away and eventually break the pail.
Thanks for sharing
Love the videos!!!! Will you be putting some other type of crop in the up right silo sense you want be putting corn silage in it?
Great video as always Eric 👌
You have the coolest toys
Have you tried that pro bios stuff on the calves when you take them to the new calf barn? Its a once and done thing. Its a miracle worker i give it to all my animals even the cat and dog when they eat stupid stuff.
Like seeing Billy Badger is still at it there. Guy here took the gear box off a Badger unloader and rigged it up to run the rotisserie on his pig roaster. That has nothing to do with this video. Just sitting here waiting for our scrape alley scrapper to cycle. Takes 1/2 hour, figured I’d watch 10th Gen whilst I waited
What’s the most satisfying part of your job
I really like your videos and as a young man, I worked on dairy farms. Never milked more than 60 though. How many do you milk on average? Thanks.
He had stated 175
What happens when a pusher robot meets with a scraper robot? Revolution in the barn?
Great vídeo
Have you looked into a machine called Sherpa it's similar to the machine you use to feed your cows. You won't need a tractor to pull it and you don't need skid steer to shave corn stored in your bunks as it will do it for you and put it into it's mixer.

Thats not a practical way of doing it and would offer no advantage. Besides they would still need the scales on the mix/feeder wagon to proportion out the feed to the various groups.
Love your channel. Do you have any other animals on the farm beside the cattle?
No they don't.
His sister has a horse, Eric has another dog.
I dont like behavior with puppy it is so cute feed some to it and pls take care of it ❤❤
Cows look in great fettle…..
You need a bigger bucket for that bobcat
Good one
Hey Eric. I like you're videos. Could you tell me what rubber mats u have in ur barn and are you fine with them? Greetings from germany
You should look into a shear grab. It would probably save some time
well fead happy cows 😊👍
great video god bless you 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
