There is nothing more reassuring in this anxious time than knowing that there are thousands of hard working farmers and ranchers just quietly doing their jobs. Thank-you.!
There is nothing more disgusting in this anxious time than knowing that there are thousands of hard working cows whose calves will get stolen. And if it's a male one, it will get killed for meat after a very short amount of time, 2 years on average. And when the females cant make milk anymore, they also have to die artificially instead of 10 more years to enjoy.
@@miasolum5612 free range is not always good for them. Where they stay, they don't have to be stressed out from something that's going to attack them. They get to eat and sleep whenever they want. Always taken care of. If there is even a limp, they are immediately taken care of. Hot sun or cold weather, rain or sleet or snow is not a worry for them. They don't have to worry about biting flies on there back all day. Comfortable and dry place to lie down. Farmers like this even installing back scratchers for more comfort to the cows. So, I do not see the point you are trying to make.
We have 2 of the same brush, I’d recommend undoing the bolt that holds the brush on from the bottom and covering it with loc tite, on both of ours the bolt fell out and left the brush laying on the ground
I want to know if some cows take more advantage of those brushes than others....it would be interesting to put one of your cameras up to see if there are certain cows take advantage of these nice brushes!!!! Your cows look very happy everytime I watch your channel. You do a great job taking care of them. No wonder why that milk is so good!!
My great uncle hot glued outdoor carpet to his barn office wall. When he got older and couldnt scratch his middle back he would lean against the wall instead. Genius. Miss ya Ralph
Love the 'find the drink' game. Always makes me chuckle. My all-time favorite was when you found the MD in the slurry pit, washed it off....and gave it to your Dad. Thanks for the vids. Keep up the good work.
Greetings from Ireland. In the old days it was normal to bury a standing rock in a field that would stick out of the ground and act as a scratch post for the cattle. Something for them to scratch and massage themselves. Not so much these days but like you farmers are installing scatch brushes which do a similar job!
For sure it's like the best asmr on TH-cam! you could literally and every video with just 10 minutes of cows using those brushes and I would still watch it till the end 😂
Eric, I want you to know that you and family are in my prayers. You are so close to the East cost, you are in a prime location for the infection. I wish I was in your location to help if you or anyone in your family gets sick. Bob
They're much smarter than most people give them credit. My great uncle had a big farm not far from these guys that was dairy and row crops. So his heard was a little smaller. But the cows could sense his mood and even knew when he was getting sick. They'd come up to him and lick his face at times even. The worst part was when he passed away, they missed him and wouldn't cooperate and milk production dropped by nearly 40% the first few weeks.
I've tried a few others - and they try too hard. I like Eric's approach of just showing us his day and what he does. He doesn't go commercial or glitz it up, just shows the work he did today and throws in a little humor such as finding the drinks. I really like that. I used to watch the Peterson Bros and I love their song parodies but they've gotten way too commercial and also preach too much. If I want a church sermon, I'll search for a church sermon. I'm atheist so obviously I don't. Eric's sharing his reading the Bible in one video because that was what he was actually doing (just told us he was reading it, not reading it to us) or occassionally closing with a Bible verse isn't offensive (again just puts it up there in print, doesn't read it to us) or preachy and I respect when he does witness, he does it low-key and respectfully. Makes me feel like he respects those of us who don't share his faith just as I respect his faith. Most farmers in America are Christian and I don't have a problem with that. To each their own. That's what America's all about. I'm here because I miss my uncle's dairy farm. Most of my uncles but that one gave up farming to go to work for GE which is disappointing because up 'til then my mother's family were dairy farmers in upstate NY since the 1600s and in England before that. As I put it, they've been farming since Cain for lack of a better reference to say as far back as we know.
Eric's vids are definitely the best. Other TH-camrs film themselves talking way too much. I guess everybody's allowed to do whatever they want to do. I just really prefer the way Eric does things. Other guys are always trying to be funny and miss the mark. If I want to watch a comedy show I turn on Netflix and watch one! Eric's never trying to be something he's not that's why I like his vids the best by far. He's genuine, humble, and a good worker. Keep it up brother! Don't change a thing..... except maybe giving me a little more notice at the end of the videos so I can leave a like. Maybe (for like 20 seconds at the end of each video) just film a cow eating or scratching themselves on one of the brushes with a "Thanks for watching" written on screen or something. I feel bad when the video ends and skips to the next video, and I didn't get a chance to leave a like.
Deuteronomy 28:8 "The Lord will send a blessing on your barns (and cow brushes) and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land". Thank you for your videos, I always look forward to the next one.
Those curious cows want to drive the skid-loader, help you install the brush, and just plane want to see what the heck is going on....that’s one of the small pleasures of these vids. Keep them coming Eric, I so enjoy them.
I've always enjoyed spending time with cows, they are very aware and curious. They always need to see what you're up too, I've seen them figure things out and do things I'd never thought they could, lol.
I absolutely LOVE cow brushes! It makes me happy seeing the cows use them. I sooo want someone to install a live "Cow Cam" so I can watch them whenever I want! You know that group of cows has been eyeing the other brushes and wanting one for their pen. Great on you for all you do for your cows!
Eric thanks again for another great video. Your videos have been a life saver for our family the last few weeks. We let our two year old twin boys watch your videos while we help our older kids with their schoolwork. Your brining us a little joy and entertainment in an uncertain time. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Happy cows! You are doing a great job. You are a lucky guy too - I never found a bottle of chocolate milk in any of my packages! Thank you for another really welcome video Eric!
I don't know why but it brought a smile to my face watching those cows anxious to use the brush and then after it was working the cows enjoying it. It awesome to see that you guys are doing things to make the cows happy
Just look at the way they lovingly look after their cows and other animals .So beautiful to see in this age of horrendous factory farming. These are GREAT people I love watching them.
All the livestock we had would use the street sweeper brush we put in the paddock. The llamas were hilarious with it lol. They'd back up and squat down a bit to get those hard to reach spots on the butt. Lips puckered into like a kiss face because it apparently felt that good 😄. Love your videos!
Eric I love the way you and Saskdutchkid take such great care of your cows and share everything with us! Your cows look so healthy and happy 🐮!!! Enjoy that magical chocolate milk, stay safe and stay awesome. God bless you and your family, God bless us all and keep us healthy 🙏
I need one to mount that unit over my reclining chair for when the wife won't scratch my back !! Maybe she'll buy me one for Christmas !! A good back scratching....Like Heaven on earth !!!
Thanks for another video. Can you talk about the milk supply. And dumping milk that is coming. Have you experienced any of this yet. The dairy right next to me are going to start dumping today. Hope things are going good for you. We need to help the Dairy Farmers
@@elmcustomharvesting1072 I am not a dairy farmer but from what I hear the milk needs to be pasteurized. I may have that incorrect. MY personal belief is that it could actually put dairies at risk to be sued. If someone gets sick, they can blame the dairy for it. A old job I had would donate baked goods but was very very careful what they gave the churches/charities because they were afraid to get sued.
@@deeash7406 You can edit comments. Just click the three dots next to your post and it gives you an edit option. Yikes but that typo was a bad and embarassing one!
I not get to this presentation on it's first day, I been busy, rebuilding and reframing a portion of my roof. The last repair/rebuild was about 10 years ago. The pitch was too flat, making it 4/12this time around. Working my roof makes me appreciate watching you climb one of your silos. The episode when you came back down quick "to get your camera" then climb back up the silo.... wow. Keep up the good work, always a good watch.
I have no idea why TH-cam recommended this video to me, but I happen to know that footage of cows using cow-brushes is extremely satisfying, so I clicked on it. Yay for happy cows :)
Thankyou for your videos and dedication to your job in these trying times along with the rest of the dairy farmers, farmers, and ranchers who are calving in this crazy weather it takes alot of dedication to do what you do. Also to our 1st responders Thankyou Ik what farmers do I use to be a hiredman/ farmer until I got hurt. Times you go without sleep so your operation makes a profit plus your feeding America in good times and bad. Love your videos keep them coming.
Well this is the first time I’m watching any farm related video but I was smiling while they were brushing themselves. Much respect. You can see how good they treated and how relaxed they are :)
I could honestly watch cows brush themselves for hours. No idea why, it’s relaxing and kinda funny.
Makes me wish for one in my house.
Who doesn't like a good scratch?!?
I'm puzzled as well
Timelapse!
I feel the same way about grizzlies eating salmon.
There is nothing more reassuring in this anxious time than knowing that there are thousands of hard working farmers and ranchers just quietly doing their jobs. Thank-you.!
Thank you all farmers!

I respect how you treat your animals and maintain your dairy.
Absolutely, I was thinking the same during the video. Good call.
you have reason
If he really treated them well, they would be free range. If they are and thats just a video, where they arent, then im sorry.

No idea why this was in my recommend, but it gets a like for being new and interesting.
I’m so very glad to see farmers trying to make their animals happy, Koodo to all farmers keeping livestock happy.
As an old person stuck indoors, let me say how much I appreciate those brushes. Ima need one of these in my bedroom.

Got to appreciate a Dairyman making his Cows Happy and Contented! What ever they cost looks like you will get lots of return on the money!

It’s my first time seeing a device that comforts animals, and I see the humanity of the owner.
Did I see a smile out of dad after the install. Good job guys. Love seeing the father son team.
I love that they care more about the brush than eating! Happy cows makes great milk!

You have such a flat affect so when you do your ‘discovery’ of Mt. Dew or chocolate milk, it’s so funny and unexpected!!

Cows are the biggest sticky beaks.
The cows in this pen caught on very quickly and seem to enjoy the rub down. I think I could enjoy it as well if I worked there.
Congrats man, We also got that in our cow shed. The calfs love it, They used pbr 15 to find out that it ain't scary and now they love it
Thanks for the show...it takes work...much appreciated, keep on keeping on!

Sure didn’t take long for them to start using the brush. Good post.
I appreciate how good you are to you animals and the concern you have for them.
So sweet:). Also playing music for them calms them and makes them give more milk. Its in a science paper published a few years ago!

Hey tip for wiring into boxes is to, strip the wire before you putt into the box. Makes it a whole lot easier
Also, Get a female corn end, and make that useless 8 feet of cord into an 8' extension cord.

There's nothing like a good scratch!! I love that you care enough for your cattle that you give them these. :)

Sweet 😀 in all ways! Cows are loving it. Thanks for all you do!
Did you see a difference in production after adding them and if so how much?
I don't know about that.
These brushes are for grooming so that the top and side of the cows remain clean.
In a way, less dirt = less health issues.
less stress = more milk
those look like the same brushes Sasdutchkid has for their herd
That is so cute they figure it out fast. I think most horses would be freaked out at first.
Thank you for supplying dairy products for all of us! God Bless You All!
