    GREAT job in taking care of the mama that was low on calcium!! You really do catch those fast!! Thanks again for both you and your Father showing us all about dairy farming! We love watching your videos on our large screen TV in the living room with the family!! Your programs are better than regular TV!! Take care and God bless!!

    I have a 4 year college degree in Zoology from Louisiana State University. I took "Dairy Science" as an elective. We took a field trip to see the bulls and the cows. We learned all about milk. I had no idea there is so much to know about milk. Thank you for all you do to provide milk for us. - TAV ♥️🇺🇸🌎👍🐄

    The twenty "thumbs Down" are perhaps not interested in watching video examples of hard work, good ethics, honest personal behavior, family values over acting out, and maturity that is beyond the age of most young men of his generation. I for one could not pull the load but I appreciate that we have such an example before us. Many thanks, inspiration comes from perspiration and you have that in spades. Bob Jarrard

    Another great video. Glad to see you wearing mask for those dusty jobs. Keep it up. Great channel and great people. You are a credit to the dairy industry for sure. BTW... your wife must just "love" washing your clothes! lol

    Interesting video Eric and great to see your dad getting in on the video treating the cow for milk fever. Hope and pray you had a great time of fellowship with your young Church adults.

    Some parts of farming are a bit less glamorous than others (scraping manure)... From your perspective, you've been doing it so long you probably think it's rather simple. From our perspective, I firmly believe that the VAST majority of folks could not begin to comprehend, and lack full appreciation for, all the money, time and effort (mental & physical) that is behind that gallon jug of milk they put in their cart at the grocery store. So from all of us, thank you for all that you do! You are appreciated!

    You make taking care of your cows look like a full time job.
    It makes it easy to understand why lots of farmers sell off
    all their animals & turn to raising grain.

      When the frost started coming out of the ground (We lived on gravel roads) I used to take our 1952 John Deere A and a hay wagon and it was the school bus. Some times another student would use their tractor/wagon and drive.
