Got your money's worth out of the day. Holy cow (pun intended) you, dad, and the rest of your crew work really hard to keep dairy on the table. Thank you!

Just finished milking in New Zealand and come inside watch Eric milk in USA

[@martinjenkins6467]

Bit colder than milking Australia. It would good feeling the heat from the cows. North American winters must be the Pitts.

Eric doesn't waste words and emphasizes the action and with a pinch of humor we are able to follow his thinking and leadership of the 10th.

What a testimonial to longevity in being a dairy farmer, SO much beautiful history I love it! I have milked cows and my uncle had a dairy until he retired then started farming pea for a local cannery. Shine On!

[@belfast479]

I enjoy the way you explain things. Amazing, the things you farmers have to do that us non farmers are unaware of. Stay safe, men!!!

[@tim_gifford]

Another great video Eric for when your wife asks “why are you tired, all you do is sit around and edit videos for KZbin?” You and your dad work well together!

[@steveamiaga2327]

Great solution to the problem with the switching of the wheel hubs... You're a very smart and competent young man. So nice to see you working so nicely with your dad. I had the privilege of working side-by-side with my dad for 15+ years...wouldn't trade it for anything. Keep up the good work! Love the channel.

This is the first video, from the _10th Generation Dairyman_ to show up on the list of _recommended videos_ on my screen. I became first acquainted with the dairy industry in college, as a dorm student across the hall from me had a family dairy in the San Joaquin Valley region of California. I recall many-a-times he would bring in bottles of _raw milk_ from his weekend visits to his parents' dairy operation. I never had the courage to sample it. I've always been impressed with the dedication it takes to operate a dairy business, in that there is rarely, or never, any *downtime* with the daily regiment of work; the cows have to be fed, watered, and milked on a daily basis. It's not like caring for horses where a person can auto-fill the water trough and pile-on the feed that the equine can survive on for a couple of days on their own. My nephew married a woman whose family ran a dairy farm in the US Midwest; where she distanced herself as much as she could from her family with their dairy business. Whenever I asked about some details of the dairy operation I was curious about, she'd steer clear of the subject and talk about something else. She even went as far as to proclaim she would never return to that rural area of her parents' dairy business; and would do anything she could to stay away. So, she married into my sister's family and, figuratively speaking, *milked* from the wealth of that family to pay for her medical nursing school education. After graduating from nursing school and had employment offers, she divorced my nephew.

[@step2191]

great video Eric. enjoy the time you put in. Glad dad and everyone is doing well. That tire exchange looked cumbersome!

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Another great video Eric. Love watching you feed the cows.

[@uppsalahazzemarkstedt2759]

It's the same as in Sweden - It's always hard wind when you working with silage plastic sheets. People owning windmills can probably hire farmers to get more effect output! Haha!

Brilliant video Eric, thank you!

[@davidepool5884]

I sure would of liked to have equipment like that back in the 70’s. Dairy farming is a lot different now than it was back then. We milked 2 cows on each side back then. It took one person about 4 hours to milk our cows in the morning and in the evening. So it took us 8 hours a day to milk our cows. Then there’s all the other jobs that had to be done. Feeding, cleaning up, taking care of the calves, planting and harvesting the crops, repairing breakdowns, and all the jobs in between. That made for very long days. We even had one cow that had to be milked 3 times a day. I enjoy watching dairy farm videos.

[@emmaleamcelhinney8650]

Nice Erik. Interesting the options you have on trackwidth for the rear wheels of the new Johnny boy. Also great to see which effort you put in to get clean and good feed, and silage and how the bedding works. Looks good. The math is good as well, even more so considering you start that early in the morning, can imagine sometimes the head is still sleeping isn't it? Long days, but appreciated to gain this great insight from your farm, yard and family!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Very productive day on the farm. For your new viewers, please mention the black liquid you mix in the cow feed is molasses. 🙂 We love your channel. Have a blessed day.

Could you run a time lapse of milking time and bedding up from the back of the barn, looking up the center ally way towards the dairy? Would be great to see how the gate systems work how and when you change gates and what order you’re taking the groups out and bedding up

If your axles are long enough you could do row crop duals on your new tractor it’d give you better traction flotation and help with compaction also giving stability on hills. Keep up your vids great content and always entertaining 👍

The life of a Dairyman. Did summers as a Young'un on an Angus cattle farm with a small herd of Holstein milkers. Later became an industrial/commercial traveling machine mechanic. Lived in one city, was working through the week in another in a different state. Those Monday morning 2:30 wake-ups for getting ready, driving 3 hours only to hit the ground running, I can relate somewhat.
