The scrapers are doing a really nice job, makes your work a lot easier and less of a potential for accidents. The mold can be a real problem, I'm glad to see you've gotten under control. Thanks for sharing, take care and I hope all of your family have a great weekend.
Didn't see this mentioned, but that "grease block" with a group of zerks is GREAT! No more crawling around to get to all of them, or even a few of them. Been almost 50 years since I was on the farm and things have sure changed.....for the good!
These videos never get old. Style, length, humor, everything about it. Props to you. Keep up the good work. Your definitely gonna be a great next generation for your family farm. Much love from Quebec :)
Was working with a mad man of a contractor one year doing grass silage. Came back to his yard one evening after finishing for the day and he was underneath a 7810 John deere with a hammer and chisel trying to open the stump stud. Half of the head was missing... couldn't open it with a wrench so he went straight for the chisel and hammer. Ended up having to weld a bar on to the stud to open it.
Eric grab the filter with a 1 gal Ziploc bag. Once it's loose finish spinning the filter off in the plastic bag. You won't spill and if you do, just toss the bag...I did not see any chocolate milk containers in the trash either...chocolate milk is a great energy drink. Learned that from you.
Eric: I'm just loving these clean floors, look at that! Cow: Floor's too clean. Time to deposit. 0:52 When you look inward next time, I hope you'll find more milk and water bottles than the sugar drinks.
As for looking inward brother , don't change a thing, ! Your doing a great job and so many people admire you and your life and you are a good roll model for many young people, hey I'm one of them ! I'm I'm my 60s,, More time with the family always is a good thing to remember ! May Peace and well being be your path !
Your going to love that door opener, we have them on all of our machine shed doors. On the shop door we run an extension cord down to a wall outlet that we unplug when there is something underneath the door so it doesn’t accidentally get engaged. Keep the videos coming!
I was a Vet Med student (CSU) for a while, but moved to electrical engineering after it was obvious it wasn’t for me. Shoot, you are doing so many tasks that a DVM would do that you might as well have the degree! Props to you and your pop Eric.
They make alot for sure. I think he said in his new barn the pit holds 1 million gallons and he cleans it out 2 times a year. That is only a small portion of the manure on the farm. Free fertilizer. :)
This was a great vid! Even tho I had an idea of what the teat dip was for I didn’t know for sure. My only question, what is ‘emollient’? I think you can honestly add the label of ‘cow phlebotomist’ to your humongo list of skills!!
You know what Eric, I was just thinking about it and I would have to say that you are hands down living the dream. You may not make millions, but I'd say that you are far wealthier than people that do (I realize this is a cliche to say, so I apologize. It just truthfully fits the situation so I used it) I obviously mean that in the sense that you've got such a loving family and you are able to be so close to them while working, your "job" which is something you love and enjoy so much, as well as you are able to work with your dad every day, and spend so much time with him. However, I'm sure that you both have moments where you don't want to be in the same room with each other, LOL. Anyway, the bottom line is that you are able to do something that so many of us, myself included, would absolutely love to be in some kind of similar circumstances. You're doing a darn good job sir, as well as your dad and your whole entire family. Thank you so much for sharing so much about your work day with us, as well as educating those outside of the agricultural community about how things actually work, in your case, on a family owned dairy farm. It's a beautiful thing! 🙏
A little trick to stop getting the oil from the filter all over the place is the punch a small hole in the side of It with a nail and collect that with a small cup then take the filter off.
A little dry humour “ look inward at dietary choices” I think if you have a sedentary lifestyle and don’t move much the sugar in the soft drinks add up, but Eric is the Total exact opposite. He is always on the move. Some of the dairy protein drinks are not bad. Fairlife I think has good ones
That's hilarious! "It's always a good time to look inward and consider my diet and choices I'm making" as you stare into the garbage can. I'm still laughing!
Eric, loved the update on the new robots. Looking forward to the day you have all you need to keep all the "allies" clean. It makes the area much neater and I really believe the cows appreciate it! I have gone back and watched all of your videos and you, the videos and the farm have all come a long way! Thank you!
Thank you Eric for the great video's. Always look forward to watching your videos. Glad the robots are working out for you!!! With all your hard work makes happy to see the robots working good for you. You and your family do such a great job with your animals and farm. Glad to see you could go in and enjoy some family time!! God bless all our nation's farmers and dairy farmers!!!! Great job and keep up the great work. Thank you Bud and Deb from western Pennsylvania ❤️
Electric door will be a Life saver in the winter and spring especially when its snowing or raining.. Now you need a robotic rototiller for the new building to go from pen to pen and go under the gates. So you don't have to move cows when you use the tractor to rototill
What does silage smell like? I love watching your videos. I’m not a farmer, but I watch your videos so much that TH-cam gives me ads for farm equipment. 😂 keep up the great videos!
Hi Eric I'm a farm boy and enjoy reliving my experience through your videos. Seriously I'd check into getting diesel fueled standby generator for the farm. In the event of a power outage, the generator would start up and get you back in business with in a minute. Just a suggestion.👍
Seems like a demanding but calming job. Think I’d rather deal with animals more than people. Just don’t know if I could deal with so much poop all the time
Hey could you comment randomly on your videos on how the prices of things have gone up in farming. I know fertilizer is through the roof. Everyone should stock up on things they use regular especially foods that last long.
Cool channel Brother. Thanks for sharing what your blessed with with all of us. I need about 100#’s of fresh beef overnighted up here to my place if you guys ship fresh beef.
The cow was like "Oh clean floors you say? Allow me to sing the song of my people." 🤣
I love how Eric talks about the clean floors and then the Cow gives us all a little "back drop".
I was thinking the same thing.
at least that one is potty trained
Perfect timing. :)
Best thing to watch at the VA HOSPITAL! THANKS ERIC!!
Sending you healing prayers.
Thanks I really appreciate that
Thank you for your service and hope you are better soon. From a Navy Vet.
Oh wow God bless you,,get well soon..you are loved...
It’s so nice to see such a clean dairy and professional operation, no yelling or hitting the cows.😉
Looks like all the food groups was there!!! Coke, DrPepper, Mountain Dew, pastries! Life’s essential’s
the temperament of your holsteins reflect the personality of the herdsmen. nice job!
So true and he had a beautiful and we'll behaved herd. Big kudos

Lol, clean out was rather humorous. I like your choices, especially the chocolate milk.
Didn't see this mentioned, but that "grease block" with a group of zerks is GREAT! No more crawling around to get to all of them, or even a few of them. Been almost 50 years since I was on the farm and things have sure changed.....for the good!

Best dairy farm around!! Great people that take animal health and comfort very seriously!!! Thanks for the videos!!
5:50 When cleaning out a tractor becomes a character building journey.
Great video! Smart investment in the used robotic cleaners. Glad to see the constant improvements your making to manage your herd. Well done Eric!
Cows look very happy today.
By far the best farming youtuber
Those floor scrapers are doing an awesome job…nice clean floor. Really looking like spring on the farm, can’t wait for planting!
That auto scraper really does a great job! 🏍🇺🇸🎒

Thanks for sharing!
I also really like slatted Flores when they are clean.
Nice to hear you had some extra time with the family.
I want u to know how great ur floors r looking. Super in fact.
Slats look clean
Eric I received my hat that I ordered from your merch page. It's awesome!!
Hey eric if you put a bag around the filter before you take it off you won't get oil everywhere😁
As for looking inward brother , don't change a thing, ! Your doing a great job and so many people admire you and your life and you are a good roll model for many young people, hey I'm one of them ! I'm I'm my 60s,, More time with the family always is a good thing to remember ! May Peace and well being be your path !
Something you might do is write the hrs and date on the filter. That way you know when the last one was
should look into an eletric grease gun from dewalt. love mine
Looking forward to the hoof health evaluation once the floor cleaning robots have been operating a while.
Your going to love that door opener, we have them on all of our machine shed doors. On the shop door we run an extension cord down to a wall outlet that we unplug when there is something underneath the door so it doesn’t accidentally get engaged. Keep the videos coming!
Great advice
I was a Vet Med student (CSU) for a while, but moved to electrical engineering after it was obvious it wasn’t for me. Shoot, you are doing so many tasks that a DVM would do that you might as well have the degree! Props to you and your pop Eric.
Love your content Eric, would love another Q&A with your dad and plans for the summer
Robots doing a great job but they sure could use a shower station. Never realized how much manure that many cows could make.
They make alot for sure. I think he said in his new barn the pit holds 1 million gallons and he cleans it out 2 times a year. That is only a small portion of the manure on the farm. Free fertilizer. :)
Refreshing to look and see a video from Eric. Thanks till the next one.
Floors are great. Best on u tube
This was a great vid! Even tho I had an idea of what the teat dip was for I didn’t know for sure. My only question, what is ‘emollient’? I think you can honestly add the label of ‘cow phlebotomist’ to your humongo list of skills!!
Robotic feed pushers and robotic manure scrapers - Next stop: robotic milking stations - just a matter of time.
They actually already exist and have for the last 10 years or so, and a robotic rotary parlor
They do have those. We got 8 lely astronauts at work to milk 500 cows 24/7.
You know what Eric, I was just thinking about it and I would have to say that you are hands down living the dream.

You sounded like a giddy 5-year-old talking about those floor cleaners. Well worth the price, new or used.
0:50 Code Brown on aisle 3!
Love seeing the GEA product in your parlor!
Nice that Mr Deere allows you to change the oil and filters yourself.
Great awesome video Eric , won’t be long you will have robot milking
If you clean it when you get out. It's clean when you get in.
A little dry humour “ look inward at dietary choices” I think if you have a sedentary lifestyle and don’t move much the sugar in the soft drinks add up, but Eric is the Total exact opposite. He is always on the move. Some of the dairy protein drinks are not bad. Fairlife I think has good ones
Interesting stuff Eric u folks take good care of your farm and animals really like that
Cows don’t have attorneys to represent them for their justification.
That's hilarious! "It's always a good time to look inward and consider my diet and choices I'm making" as you stare into the garbage can. I'm still laughing!

Another good one Eric.
Every morning first thing I check is if there's manure enough

Another nice and calm vid, Eric. I can see how your father knows he can trust you to get things done. Thanks for sharing!!!
Do you have an equipment planner of when and what you’ve done to them?
those robots do an awesome job
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Love this channel!
Nothing wrong with having a slow day on the farm take them while you can
Quite obvious you care for the health of your livestock! Keep shooting out videos still down from the appendectomy!!
Hello Eric the interesting part in your videos is tractor 🚜 and heavy Meachines love you from India 🇮🇳
This looks so fun to do!
WELL! it was clean lol
I like using drain oil for chainsaw bar lube!
Do you have a smudge pot for your used oil? Or what do you do with all your used oil?
How much oil dose the tractor. Take?
Yeah, the one cow decided it had to be a "pooperstar" in your video!
Geeez get some certz covers pushing dirt into the system
What does silage smell like? I love watching your videos. I’m not a farmer, but I watch your videos so much that TH-cam gives me ads for farm equipment. 😂 keep up the great videos!
Fresh cut grass with a can of corn mixed in is pretty close. I ve been around it enough,,,,
Hi Eric

Hello:) lov ur vids!! Keep up the good work:)
Great video as always Eric , how many gallons of oil do these tractors take
5 gallons
Caught on camera, so much for clean floors!!!!! Yes robots are doing a grand job. Wash job would hurt them. Least for looks! Hehe
Me fasina tu trabajo
Eric u are a good farmer. If u ever stuck for a hand let me know
surprised you. Don't have a cordless grease gun as much equipment as you have to maintain. Thanks for the milk!
Jim Sutton,
He has one but prefers the hand held. He did couple videos about it couple years ago. A viewer gifted it for them.
Great video. Have you ever used brewers grains as a feed? great nutrition - smells like stale vomit - but the cows love it!
Hey Eric i have a question. Have you or your farm employs get pooped or pissed by the cow at the milking parolor?
Great video!
The cows got just to the terminator robots. From the imperial co California.
@ 0:50, that's what you call a code brown....😅
Nice videos eric!
U got a haircut looks good eric
Super job guys,,,
Great vídeo.
The waters freeze?
Hi i am matthew from South Africa i watch your video and i love you guys
Hey Erik do the cows ever gets baths or washed off? If they do later on this summer could u do a video of it
Hey could you comment randomly on your videos on how the prices of things have gone up in farming. I know fertilizer is through the roof. Everyone should stock up on things they use regular especially foods that last long.
Cool channel Brother. Thanks for sharing what your blessed with with all of us. I need about 100#’s of fresh beef overnighted up here to my place if you guys ship fresh beef.
How much does your best cow milk?
Do these cows ever go out to pasture? I know it's been winter and all but asking in general.
Enjoyed the video
Take wekend off take girl or boy for bear , stop live like cow😉🍻
The life of a auto scraper, talk about having a crapy day, hose me off please.
