Das ist ein richtiger Mann der hat Lust zum melken. Und erzählt darüber über seine Arbeit Landwirtschaft mit seinen Tieren. Er griegt ein Respekt was er auf die Beine bringt. Cool und super. Was er sich aufbauen will. Ganz toll. Er hat Herz für die Kühe. Vielen Dank für das schöne Video. Er junge Mann soll sich freuen auf das Lob und Respekt. Er hat sich das verdient. Meine Meinung.

Heifer wanted to be a photographer. She's looking for a second job. 😂 Doing a great job.

[@nancebro3227]

You should grind down/clean the surface before you weld. The junk in there weakens it. Just throwing that out there. Love the videos

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

Good tip, thanks

[@timmyteabag69]

[@waynemangrum4274]

Great channel keep it up.also before welding cracks drill a hole in both end first and that will prevent anymore runs

[@bobbeck5947]

@@10thgenerationdairyman yea .. hit it w a little 4" die grinder w a flap disc, just to scuff off the junk, the weld will be twice as strong, and much easier to do!! ps, use that same flap disc to prep the stalls in the calf barn, that wire brush in the drill ain't the right tool for that job!!

Hey man your doing a good job there!! I like how you do stuff by your own fix if broken and as well anything that comes up and has to be done on a farm,!!

[@AntonioCostaRealEstate]

Love the editing on the show. Non “reality show nonsense “ , no plot , no bait. Straight up hands on chores down to detail. Now if you could break down the business as to whether you are part of a coop , it would be very nice. Perhaps one of you attending a coop meeting, if so possible.

[@JimWhitaker]

And no music!

[@genedutton28]

How often are the milkers cleaned and how is it done? I certainly appreciate the hard work farmers do to feed America!!

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Eric said they changed out the inflations every five months. Milkers are cleaned at least twice a day. More if the farm milks on a 3X rather than a 2X schedule. I'm not certain how the milker and pipeline cleaning is done on Eric's family's farm, but there's two approaches that I'm aware of. Having done both growing up. 1. The milkers are cleaned in situ. 2. The milkers are taken into the milkhouse and cleaned there. Hooking them up so they, and the pipeline get cleaned. On our farm, we ran a sanitizing rinse through the milkers and pipeline before every milking, before we set up the pipeline to empty into the bulk tank. Then after each milking we'd remove the pipeline from the bulk tank and run a series of cycles using soap, a rinse, then an acid, another rinse, a sanitizer and then a final rinse. Our family ran a Grade A dairy operation from 1978 to 2012. As I said, I don't know the "nuts and bolts" of Eric's operation.

[@buynsell365]

Great video .......I love your channel....best part was the last "ordering pizza to support dairy busy" ........LOL

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Really liked this video. Lot of solidity there. Thanks.

[@TheLjel]

I love the channel. My dad is a professional fabricator, I am pretty good. Your welding isn't bad, but I would try to clean up the surrounding area with a grinder and wire brush attachment prior to welding. I would say that your welding voltage may be a bit low and you are maybe moving a bit too fast. I grew up on a farm that we still use for cash cropping. I enjoy your interaction with your dad. He is an old school, hard nosed guy like my dad. Your conversations with him are interesting and remind me of my talks with my father. Great job, and take care

[@elizabeth50mahoney]

These videos are awesome. Exactly like the farm work i grew up around. all your fixing things and making it work reminds me of my dad. Thanks! And really 23? Here I'm thinking you just finished up with high school and showing at 4H.

@@10thgenerationdairyman Hello, Do you breed all your replacement stock? My Dad did once he got to a level where he didn't need to buy replacements. Towards the end he was getting top dollar selling heifers excess to our herd's needs. That all ended in March 2012 when he passed away and Mom needed to sell off the whole herd.

[@jackieoman6695]

Pop, snickers , and Pizza ! Must be nice to be so young you can eat and drink all that stuff lol

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

If the welds are breaking like that its usually because the welder wasn't set hot enough. Could also be stress since there is very little material welded there. If it keeps happening consider using a piece of angle iron upside down to reinforce the weld. Just weld one edge on either side after doing the initial weld. That should fix the problem permanently.

[@ronanderson1816]

do the cows ever kick you when taking a blood sample?

[@Gatorsrok]

When you're getting blood samples and injecting the vaccines why do you not wash the site first with iodine/why dont you have to? Seems like a good way for the cow to get sepsis from all the manure on the hair and especially the tail. Just curious

[@michaelvallin55]

Everything they do is through the lens of a cost vs benefit analysis. If it makes sense economically they'll do it, if not why bother

[@Gatorsrok]

@@michaelvallin55 Doesn't really answer the question but ok. Speaking more clinically about why they wouldnt spend the extra .02 cents per cow or whatever it is to clean the site when injecting vaccines or drawing blood samples. Guarantee your cost/benefit analysis wouldn't hold strong when a cow dies from sepsis or blood bacterial infection vs them spending PENNIES to do the proper thing. You yourself will never walk into a hospital or clinic and have them just straight up stick you, they clean the site for a minimum 30 seconds before ever breaking the skin.
