I really like how you always take very good care of the floors in the cows living areas. Some milk farms are horrible at that and have lots of injuries and accidents because of it. Its nice to see how good you and your family, and workers all take good care of the cattle. Great video thank you for sharing. 😁👍🏻🐄
I was just going to make a similar comment. Eric really puts the animals first. He commented a while back the worst thing about dairy farming is when the animals get sick. That's says so much about him. Good dude that can dunk from the foul line...
Yeah, I agree with others, I haven't seen the burning off of hair on the cows utters before. Good job on the work shop clean-up and anchoring of the work bench, a solid one is real important. Thanks for sharing, have a nice week, stay safe!
I cringed every time that flame thrower..I mean udder singe was put under the ladies! Very interesting video and all of the new babies look great! Thanks for sharing.
Hey Eric - love your channel. Just FYI but use caution when securing that workbench to the floor & wall. If it's a standard pole barn build, then the concrete slab is a "floating slab" and shifts independently from the walls during frost heaving. It can create issues if the slab tries to heave but it's being held down due to being tied to the wall. This is why the floor is poured last in a pole barn build. Keep up the great video, really enjoy watching them!
I like your dad when he says, " It really doesn't hurt much. Eric, run your hand over it and show them ". HAHA. It's like the old Wild Kingdom TV show where Marlon Perkins would say, " I'll sit here and drink a cappuccino while my assistant Jim wrestles with the killer Python."
Another great video. Your farm is always so clean and in tip top shape. The parlor is amazingly spotless. Testament to all the dedication and hard work.
Good job we have to do ours in the parlour ( turns a herringbone into a rapid exit !! ) we also keep the tails clipped which I think keeps the udders & teats cleaner
Love your videos always entertaining. Thanks for all the videos. I can only imagine how much it takes to video and work while still being productive. Hats off to you 👍👍
I never knew farmers burned the hair off the utters definitely makes sense when you explained it and your dad and you did a good job cleaning the shop up
Great video, I really enjoyed seeing the day to day! I have questions of like.... when did you start on the farm? We see you're married, any kids? Who's the Mrs'? How many cows? And plenty more. If you've already answered these, plz direct me to the videos, plz. Cheers from Texas...

Hey man love the channel I'm a dairy farmer in New Zealand. Have you thought about cutting and squaring off that tool you use to open the curtains on your Calving pens so you can attach a drill to it? Would save so much time I rekon
Just watching you guys get so close to them from behind like that almost gives me anxiety, knowing what a cow's back leg can do even when they're perfectly unharmed yet not sure what's going on 😂 Only place I've seen that done is in the milking parlor.
Have to be honest when I first saw the title I was a bit reluctant to watch. But after y’all’s explanation and seeing it done felt much better. I got a pretty good burn as a kid from popcorn popper oil as a teen …no long term effects at all. But anything relating to burns is hinky for me to this day even at 61. Good video as always 10th Gen!👍🙏🇺🇸
Do you have a video showing where the milk goes once it leaves the cow? I'd like to see where it goes from your farm and then the processing and packaging of the products
Have you ever looked into making Methane to power at least some of the farm? There are digestors that use your solids that make methane and as a side benefit the solids are turned into liquid.
I believe that most funded programs/studies/tests have found it to work MUCH bettering theory and on paper than in actual use no matter how meticulous the design, installation, operation, and proper use in N. America.
@@lt1nut New Holland is building tractors that run on Methane and we now have federal funding. The drawback is that if a farm does not use liquid manure, then it may not be as practical. many farms here are 100% self-powered and even sell power to the electric company.
@@thepubliceye Where is your "here"? There's no doubt that methane can work, other than economically without a large influx of government actions and monies no matter the physical location and/or market. How many BTU's are in one pound of methane vs one gallon (let's say 7#) of diesel fuel/oil (let's say OTR #2)?
I sure do like the combo of shavings and chopped straw…way easier to clean out than the un-chopped straw!! First time I have seen the singeing tool; so mush faster than clipping. Great video Eric.
Never seen that done before, though we've had some sale heifers that some people used a torch to burn off all their long hair with instead of using a clipper. They didn't like that either!
Let's just appreciate the fact that they are a good family. Running a farm the best way they can. And they care about their stock.
Interesting about the udder singeing. It was great following your different chores today. Thanks.
Like a “Far Side” comic. One cow says to the other, “He’s going to do WHAT? WHERE?”

A good farmers work is never done !! You do a great job keeping your pens cleaned out for the cows and calves .. that’s great ! Keep up the good job !
Just did all of our cows Monday. Our SCC dropped 20 points in 2 days. Not my favorite job, but glad I did it!
Wow! hopefully that happens here
I cringed every time that flame thrower..I mean udder singe was put under the ladies! Very interesting video and all of the new babies look great! Thanks for sharing.
I’ll never look at a jug of milk the same again. Wow, all the work that goes on behind the scenes. You Dairy people Rock!
I'd never seen the utters singed before. Very interesting.
I was utterly surprised. 😉 Maybe try it the udder way?
Someone had to go there, 😂

Thanks, I get what your saying but the table should have enough flex that I doubt it would be an issue.
Y’all have a nice setup for your calves. You have a nice dairy operation all together.

Being a farmer is a lot of hard work. I admire your dedication to quality.
Another great video. Your farm is always so clean and in tip top shape. The parlor is amazingly spotless. Testament to all the dedication and hard work.
Learned something new!! Singing hair off the udders!! Who knew that was a problem? Always interesting on your channel!
Thanks for the video. I always appreciate the time it takes you to film and edit.
Love when you guys do improvisational maintenance !
Good job we have to do ours in the parlour ( turns a herringbone into a rapid exit !! ) we also keep the tails clipped which I think keeps the udders & teats cleaner
Eric is like, "yeah dad, I can run my hand over it, but im not gonna." So dad does it. :-)
Haha I did too just had a better clip of him
Very thorough work you do. It shows in how clean the cows are
Love using the tapcons make thing so much easier. Good job.
Always something to do on the farm thank you so much.
I've never seen or heard of singeing udders before. Nice work
another great video Eric. Thank you very much.
Always enjoy your videos, Eric! For some reason watching you attach the work table to the floor was very satisfying! Lol
Hey Eric this is a farmer from South Korea, as a beginner, I learn anlot from you everyday, thansk for your video. !!
I love this channel. No nonsense farming. Top content 👌
I'm glad I saw your video today. I've never heard of a cow hair burning tool before. Cool. Thank you.
Love your videos always entertaining. Thanks for all the videos. I can only imagine how much it takes to video and work while still being productive. Hats off to you 👍👍
Always a pleasure to hear the dad talk!
People will remember cow singeing and make in a expected event next year for sure ;DDD
I just had an idea which I can now work into my plan on getting into the manscaping industry. Thanks 10th Generation Dairyman!
Awesome job. God Bless all
Udderly amazing

I was waiting for one of the cow's tails to catch fire when they were singeing.
The tail hair is a lot thicker so it won't catch easily
Never seen that before. With the fire on the cows. Great video. From the imperial co California.

If burning hair hurt the cows they’d be bucking like crazy.
i dont think ive seen a comment from anyone saying its a bad thing.

Thnx for another interresting vid. Ever thought about keeping/raising a bull calf just for fun?
I have in the past a few times
The calves are so cute, the one trying to bunt the other ones utter was funny ... just trying to get meal from anywhere
I kept worrying that a cow was about to kick while getting singed. Your face was right there
Dairy farming is the most time intensive occupation that I know of. Good for you guys.
Do you have a video showing where the milk goes once it leaves the cow? I'd like to see where it goes from your farm and then the processing and packaging of the products
Thanks for another great video god bless
In the Netherlands we do IT also that way with the utters
Udders*
Brings new meaning to "lighting a fire under your a$$".
There is nothing better than a clean shop or garage mmmmmm
My sweet wife refers to your TH-cam channel as the one "that does everything the right way!".
All I was thinking was "Warm milk!" Guess it should be warmER milk. 😂😂
Never seen that done before, great idea how to keep the cows clean,👍👍
I have never heard of singeing the hair off the udders. Thanks for the education!

It takes time to finish projects when you need to use them yesterday 🤗
Great video young man.
Eric's specialty in bovine beauty is giving each girl a "cowzillian." 😉
Never heard of this before. I learned something new.
Those calves are entirely too cute with their little jackets on
1% better every day. good work.

Great awesome video Eric
Enjoyed the video.
I think Everyone was secretly hoping one of them would of let a gasser go just as flame passed by. 🔥
Very good video eric
I was like “Dang! Singing udders hey “
Lol
Brilliant idea
Yeah, I clearly misread the title to this video. I thought it said SINGING udders 😆
Very interesting how you look after those ladies ! Its like getting them to the beauty parlour !
That was interesting! Great video.
There's a certain part of my anatomy that was VERY uncomfortable with that singeing operation!
Good Video!! Ever consider a carbide tipped circular saw for the angle iron?
Singeing Udders! I saw them at the Altamont in 72.
So bummed you can't ship to Sweden. Would love a hoodie 🤩
I do this always when the cow starts a new lactation.
Wow those cows do love you coz you should have recieved several kicks when Singeing . Lol
Your shop has never looked better.

More Chocolate Milk! I thought for sure when you reached in to the bins that you'd grab a milk.
Chocolate milk flambe...maybe???!
Eric have you guys thought about breeding with montbeliarde and viking red
Sound like fine wines !!
Course the calf pees in the fresh pen as soon as he’s in lol
Great video Eric, fascinating content! 👍🏻
I thought for sure we'd get a chocolate milk appearing from a singed udder.
Shop looks nice!
Those cows must think you guys are weird. lol
Getting rid of the hair on their utters will make it faster and you won’t need to rub all that dirt of. I bet they appreciate it
Another nice video Eric.
Yup this is on my to do list too, and trimming tails 👍👌
Do you have DEF on your Kubota? Sounds like your DEF regeneration notification was going off.
