Spreading Manure

Thank You!

The best prevention for coccidiosis that I found in our young dairy calves is to have a calf starter with Rumensin in it. I been told that calves can get coccidiosis from bird poop, don't know if that's true or not. Corid always been our best treatment. Keep up the good work, from a neighbouring dairy farmer in Berks county.

[@jbork88]

A few times a year, I will use a hand sprayer to cover any exposed wood and concrete with a copper sulfate foot bath mix. I have less coccidiosis and ringworm problems now.

[@robinmarie5180]

So glad it's not smell o vision. Ha ha

[@donnamullins2089]

Cows are looking good. Building addition made a big difference. Can't believe they do not want to go in the pasture. Waiting at barn for you to finish. That's funny. When will you replant cover crop? Thanks for the aerial views.

[@lapalomas]

There's rocks in the "quarry" farm, who knew?

[@jonplante7589]

First off, I know absolutely nothing about farming but it seems that manure would be a really “hot” fertilizer. Do you have to add something to neutralize it. I really enjoy watching.

[@isaachesse7691]

They have to much wind exposure so they are getting to cold

[@prabrandhawa7224]

Nice video

[@pietoosterhof5901]

Nice and dry á.👍

[@yoshiki7757]

lol, 0:22 and 9:30 , I'm guessing a significant part of your day is telling Dutchess what not to do. Great action shot of you and your dad chasing those last two out to pasture, great vid all around!

[@ArizonaKid]

Teck trol , is that the name ?? Clean that pen , lime it . Prob just had one issue with but if don’t clean that pen every calf you bring over is gonna get . And also maybe week before winging calf put crumbles in there grain bucket , per medicate

[@michaeltroyer7470]

For the calves, just keep them constantly bedded and dry. Remember, each new layer of bedding is free from disease till they crap on it. There's always corid as well. Maybe give them a hit of baytril before you move them to flush any other non parasitic disease out

[@jtramel7827]

When ever I see the liquid manure spreader I think of the farmer over in Europe whose townhall messed with him so he went thru the middle of town with it.....was not a pretty sight

[@jaredwengenroth7215]

Great video. Not a farmer but the guys from Soone farms use a product called Optimizer calf gel. They have said it works.

[@Warcity777]

It really is cool to see how things come full circle around your farm great job and keep up the great work!

[@tony98discovery]

I love the way he takes care of the dairy cows

[@kathyk479]

I like that you get them out! Even the stubrin ones! Lol

[@corymussetter1434]

From a past dairy farmer, we always mixed in lime in bedding and also sodium phosphate it seemed to help with coccidiosis whenever we'd get a couple . It happened mostly on winter when they bedded down more in the barn

[@mikemoore8135]

I appreciate your continuing caring for cows comfort and health. It helps prove to other dairyman that you can make a profit (hopefully) and take care of your animals the right way at the same time. Have a great day.

[@tony98discovery]

He is an animal lover, the way he takes care of the dairy cows moved me.

[@bigdog8891]

Manure Cam. Live reporting from above the scene.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

I am always amazed at how you take such great care of your herds and also are so considerate of your neighbors in trying to control the dust. Dutchess sure seems tov not have any fear of the anmals or machinery. Tough little farm dog she is. Great video, thanks.

[@iopcanada16]

Another day another great video! So many new upgrades to the farm this year! Great stuff

[@tony98discovery]

I wish I could wake up at this ranch every morning, I love his cows.

[@barbarabelmar3819]

I love how wonderfully you take care of your cows. They are so clean and well taken care of. BTY Duchess is fearless. You and your dad make an excellent team.

[@johnlay941]

I found a cure for coccidiosis back in 1997, the same year I sold my herd. Hope this helps.

[@martinarlander]

I've always been amazed with how clean your cows are. I grew up working on a 500 milk cow dairy and they were never as clean as your cattle are. The care you provide to your cattle is very impressive. Thank you!

[@e.a.bfarms]

Must not of liked how injecting it went? I must of missed thre conclusion on it?

[@carriebrumley8926]

Thank you and your dad for all yall hard work

[@michaelhintz6187]

Looks like the pup is getting used to farm life.

[@Pilotc180]

This is where all members of congress learn to be politicians

[@seadooxp1997]

I would take his life in a second! He works hard and loves it

[@jimc4731]

Adding onto the barn means more cows. More cows means more bedding required. Time to add onto the sawdust/bedding building so you can buy ahead and have a reserve cushion. If the supplier can not keep you stocked up, maybe dual source your supply if possible. Keep up the good work! JIM 🤩

[@brucemanley7593]

I'm sure getting the drone footage takes more effort, but I really enjoy them! Thank you!(Robin)

[@bigdcarmichael]

I enjoyed the cow wresting. Dad showed some good moves.

[@vishnupantchor4064]

Hello sir.I am watching your every videos you are doing very nice.But I want to say that can you speak words slowly and clearly so we can understand all sentences that you have speak please sir it's my humble request to you thank you.

[@bigmikes2140]

Any chance you would share how much the farm spends on custom work every year? Definitely easier then keeping up with equipment and a full time employee

[@ryanfreeman1679]

With the calves here in the UK we can get a special mineral lick block to help prevent it. Not sure if you can get them in the US. We just put one in the shed with them most of the time. Hope this is of use to you and thanks for the great content.

[@Navajo-man]

Hi Eric and dad beautiful video and awesome drone thanks and as always you and your dad and families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ashertgggi4918]

keep it up man

[@warehouseman6325]

Amazing they afraid to go outside. Lol. Beautiful addition to the farm.

[@steveneal2706]

Eric, you are an awesome young man. Great work with the drone and making your videos so enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much

[@joeroy02]

That was two stubborn heifers

[@vorticosecomb]

Let's gooo. Came to leave my like and comment real quick before class. Gonna be a good day. Now I've got something to watch at lunch 💪🏼

[@tonyjoe1753]

***So a couple of questions: 1. Was there a measurable financial incentive difference for the fields you injected the manure on? 2. What difference in yield do you think using maunure makes vs not using it? Thanks

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Looking good on the farm improvements, from the barn to the fields, to the cattle, all real nice improvements. Always great to see the aerial shots, love them. Great video, I hope everyone stays safe and has an outstanding week.

[@hanksfarmvideos]

Smells like money 💰

[@johnperry5102]

wouldn't a larger front loader save you a lot more time, not so many trips back and forth

[@samspade4634]

Eric, have you ever done a side by side comparison of yield on manure vs. no manure? I just wondered how much of a difference the manure makes. Also, clean out the water bowl - sometimes they pass it to each other. Thank you for the video!

[@riyadhasan3542]

I see your video from bangladesh,keep it bro

[@einionowen5009]

1:19😂😂😂😂🐄

[@gregvitrano5324]

Better than having to buy fertilizer for sure.

[@nickmealey3105]

Thanks for another great video

[@ArizonaKid]

My favorite dairy farm channel !!

[@davewaggoner5525]

Holy cow! You and your dad got some great defensive moves! Should be playing with the sixers!! Hahaha. Great video even if you just haul pooh!

[@ericmanteuffel6403]

I'm not a dairy/cow farmer, but I have raised chickens for a long time and Cocci/coccidiosis affects both species almost the same. Some years the chicks get it more than others. When the year is more wet, I noticed it shows up more. One thing to think of..........when baby chicks are raised by a mother hen, the chicks almost never get cocci. But when chicks are hatched/raised inside by us in a very clean environment, coccidiosis always shows up the minute they start to be exposed to dirt at an older age. The key is to have them exposed to cocci immediately after hatch a little bit every day so they build up an immunity, which the mother hen does from day 1. I have also given chicks probiotics (sauerkraut, as I make it myself). You could give the calves some of your fermented feed, as it should be loaded with lactobacillus bacteria. (another reason raw uncleaned tripe is the best food for your dog, but that is for another discussion). Get the calves exposed to dirt immediately after birth and feed some probiotics to build up that immunity. If all else fails, there is Corid

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Good, fertile ground usually comes with limestone . At least in Pennsylvania anyway. One of the trade offs you have to deal with.Good video as usual. Thanks for making them.

[@DawesyD]

This video makes me thankful that they haven’t developed SmellAVision yet 😬😂

[@jonstaum8297]

Anyone in your area spreading manure with hose? Since your fields are so close to your manure, that would probably benifit you alot..

[@bigln3706]

Look at a product called optimizer gel. Given to a calf when they are born. Might help you

[@jkmcp45]

Check your water our one well gave us a bunch of problems and our calves showed symptoms of toxitiocisis at least that’s what we thought had the vet come out to test to see what was happening and our well picked up a type of bacteria from iron or manganese cause water level goes down in the summer it’s only a 40 to 50 ft hand dug well 6 foot in diameter can you imagine my grandfather having to dig that by hand our grandparents and everyone before us the work they did like you my sons are automating our farm with rfid tags and all the robots I don’t know were they found the time my grandparents an what not cause there is 4 of us 6 counting my uncles and we work 10-12 hour days what are we doing wrong all the tech is supposed to make our lives easier sorry got rambling back to the well so I did some research on well water and I found a water tester that hooks right into our main computers and samples every X amount of gallon for any changes

[@knoxreichling6841]

We're not dairy farmers but we do raise calves and the coxidiosus is not just something your doing I think it's just a seasonal thing because we've been getting it really bad so we give them liquid corrid and crumbles

[@reidhoefler6387]

Have you considered asking the neighbor if you could just spray the corn off with water on each side of the road instead of trying to keep the road wetted down? Would cut down on fuel/water/time.

[@MegaBullrider66]

Make sure you have bovi-tec in your calf grain. Purina Heifer smart mineral for younger calves in tmr

[@JHruby]

Wow you think about the pump it takes to pump out that field pudding like that. Ain't it great to live in the machine age? When stuff is working of course...

[@Swindy1794]

Another great video as always Eric however, I am So glad i can’t smell it… yikes! ❤

[@paulwalsh548]

Main problem probably is is spreading the dry pack over the floor again at the end as you're spreading what eever the breeding aga has your now giving it back to the calves, Maybe change the feed what you giving them maybe green feed once a day then a bit of hay to dry them up abit. There are tablets out their but i don't know as you in America but just any scouring tablet might work, but would try not to bed that dry pack and just maybe after each batch of calves pressure wash the pen keep disease some what to a small level. And for love of god my pet hate letting a dog in front of an animal you trying to push out through a gate or door they have long term meomries and will expect a dog there everytime. Other than that great video.

[@derekpennington4979]

Will never follow those tanks close again or give them the finger for slowing me up.lol one flick of lever and my day would be shitty in a hurry. 😂 😂. #respectthepoophauler. 😂

[@ronmastel858]

Do you ever get complaints from the neighbors about the manure smell when you spread it into the fields?

[@johnlookabill8495]

Another great video Eric. Longtime subscriber but don’t often comment. I know how busy you are. I do have an unusual question though. Just to see if I’m imagining things lol. Have you been working out?? Seems like you’re buffing up a little. I could be wrong but I usually notice small details most don’t. Anyway thanks for the content and being a great ambassador for agriculture and the dairying industry.

[@bobogilvie4472]

If you are talking about scours Sonne Farms give each calf a dose of what they use and never have a problem. They are on youtube

[@joetheagent]

WhooHooo! Manure spreading season! The heifer barn looks like its working out pretty well. Hilarious that one heifer didn't want to go outside.... there could be scary things out there! Chopping back the vegetation around that field looks like fairly rough job. Maybe rent a boom style flail mower for one of the JDs? Or a flail mower on the front of the Kubota? Looking forward to planting!

[@subzeromjc]

Do you still play utlimate frisbee? I remember you told your teammates "just act normal" when you pulled out the gopro.

[@christianterrill3503]

It's so cool have something as small as adding a couple of things to your barn be so game changing to your dairy farm!

[@maryrinehart2346]

It’s really something that you can clear rocks every year and till and grow crops over and over and still, after years you still have to worry about rocks in your fields

[@louisetodman58]

You know why you have some problems with the cows going to pasture is the little dog I love dogs but get real keep it out of the cows way as to them it’s like mice to an elephant

[@tony98discovery]

My brother and I often watch your cows. We are truly touched by the way you take care of them.

[@oliviafrost1808]

Hi Eric. We usually feed calf meal containing a coccidiostat. But you can also drench calves with Catolyst coccidiocide at 6-8 weeks of age. That eliminates any issue in our system in NZ. All the best, keep up the great work and great vid's. Really enjoy watching how things are done different in other parts of the world. Cheers

[@corynugent1705]

I’ve been a dairy farmer for my hole life and we keep our cattle out in rye grass but the only advice I have for you is keep your bedding as clean as possible and change it every 3 day depending on how meany cattle are in there but obviously money contribute to that as well

[@jimbeck820]

Another great vid! Manure hauling and spraying must leave a temporary, pleasant odor in the air!!

[@kathyk479]

Give then peptobismol, the pink stuff! Lolol. J.k. you'd need a tub of it! Who knows if you could get that much!? Poor babies! They can't feel good!

[@olivierbeaumard6527]

hi i love your videos I am a French farmer and I would have liked to know what wood was used to make your fence posts? and what is the food ration for your heifers they are magnificent ? See you ✌️

[@kaurkoop]

You should invest in a slurry tanker and a manure mixer, you are just paying all that sweet profit away

[@champion9860]

I've been here since you had 45k subs ish, I honestly love your vids, keep it up.

[@duaneschmitz2674]

Eric are you guys taking feed every day down to heifers farm and will you do that all winter long too ????

[@joeygonzalez9651]

Can't get over you dad's yell at 1:15

[@molotov9502]

At first glance, I thought he got stepped on, but glad he was OK.

[@arnebroberg9413]

Hi well managed farm i have tow questions how does the soil react to all the sawdust that is spreaed, and why dont you use hitch hhks for your macines much faster and safer.

[@ssmith1931]

Read about oil of oregano for cows in place of antibiotics 👍chicken farms put it in the water

[@tedc.4956]

0:57 is the Monte obstinate or just not very smart? Sure will be interesting to see what it's milk production is like.

[@Vtcd108]

Bean stalk bales might be harboring cocci spores? Maybe do just the wood shavings. Not a dairy farmer but I know a little bit of fungal stuff

[@wojomojo]

Can you share any data on the soil condition of your fields over the years, as you apply organic material to the soil so regularly? Is the topsoil getting deeper, healthier, etc.?

[@Ottedikkie]

I imagine cattle love a clean bedding (better than old dry poop ...)

[@IOWNA11]

Thanks for keeping America running & Thanks for taking the time to show us what your job is all about!

Bro how can I reach u directly, gat some couple of questions for u

[@kurtiskoster4429]

We give our 3 months old heifers calf started and chopped corn and hay after they are off milk and moved into the heifer barn

[@shealy265]

You should ask around at next machinery show to try and get free multi day demo of forestry head for you Kubota and take on the tree line. Let them know would give them couple video exposure. Fecon makes a forestry level one which does take decent hyraulic levels and potential forestry door protector. I do believe you would enjoy grinding down the brush. You might find those rocks though.

[@jd3497]

Fence in a goat herd in the tree line/underbrush area, let them clean up what they can. When they are done, it will give you an idea of what's left to clean up. You can get the goats trucked in by companies providing this as a service, transport, fencing and goat herd management all in one.

[@danfinley3690]

Yea so much appreciated on what you do for all of us great job on the drone like the music
