A Tour of the New Barn!

Welcome to the tour of our new heifer and dry cow barn! It was built during the summer of 2020! It is a huge upgrade compared to the old barn that stood in its place! My father talks about his doors, windows, gates, pens and more! He goes in depth of why he built or set up things the way he did! I hope you all enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!

[@peewee.3138]

Your dad put a lot of thought into designing that barn and reusing things from around the farm. He is really good at explaining everything too!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank You, it sure is a barn to be proud of!

[@earnestmetz9834]

I am always amazed at the common sense and ingenuity demonstrated by farmers. Your Dad demonstrates that everywhere in everything he does.

[@benjohnson1082]

The classic styling of the barn is so awesome. Plus all the hidden tech inside.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Ben!

[@bobkinney7913]

Thank you for the tour of the barn! To me you are living the dream! Working with your family on the farm is my idea of heaven!

[@GierokFarms]

Thanks Bob, I agree the farm is one of the best places to be!

[@nathanheisey4206]

Gotta love the ingenuity of the small American farmer. You can tell your father put a lot of thought into the whole building. Job well done!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Nathan!

[@jamesdonal8599]

You can see your father is a hard worker and loves his life and farm , his hands show his dedication.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GierokFarms]

His dedication to his work/lifestyle is something to be proud of! Thanks James!

[@mikhailkimbel91]

The amount of brains and thought that went into this is outstanding!

[@dembeckfarms]

Man, that’s a slick setup. Economical, really functional and user friendly I’m jealous

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you!

[@tipperarymick5337]

This isn't just a barn, it is a work of beauty too! I love the extensive use of Oak, the attention to detail, and the way ye used the old wheels to make the railings surrounding the yard. Truly a project ye can all be justifiably proud of.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you so much for the nice comment we really appreciate it!

[@kevinschroeder3889]

My father in-law was always thinking like your dad. Pure genius. Some of the best architects and engineers are on the farms. Very well done Mr. Gierok.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Kevin!

[@douglasmfunk1691]

I love and respect the enthusiasm and knowledge with which Dad narrates the experience and foresight that went into designing and building the barn.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you!

[@bhain40]

That is a real nice barn. And it’s so nice to see the cattle are so calm, showing how calm you are working with them. Nice finishing touches to the barn too!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Benjamin!

[@shoutingatclouds6841]

I found your channel because your channel it was one of the few channels that had any information on harvesting corn on less than a ginormous scale, But now that I see your whole operation your farm is amazing I love everything about this channel and what you’ve been doing.

[@GierokFarms]

We really appreciate you watching! Bigger isn't always better! There is still a place for small family farms!

[@hardyedwards5405]

@@GierokFarms I love your scale. Very similar to mine although we are beef cattle. This barn is a work of art. Lots of ideas presented in this video. Similarly I spent 2 months planning my beef cattle working facility under a roof. I would visualize working and walking every direction in it and it turned out pretty darn good.

[@michaelreinholt3606]

Very nice barn your dad did a very nice job on the design of the barn and explaining how it was built love your videos

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

The gate to protect the door is a great idea. The building is a very impressive design, everything is well thought out. This building could be marketed even.

[@GierokFarms]

Thanks Anthony, we are very proud of it!

[@opijopionoi1047]

Love the steel wheel looking fence.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you!

[@brianrobinson6136]

Best video on KZbin!!!! Your dad is a very smart and creative man. He really knows how to build something that will last long and won't cost a fortune to build.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Brian!

[@FarmerC.J.]

“If the door moves, they play with it!” No truer words spoken! Awesome build! For a make shift Squeeze/shoot…I used one solid wall along one side, front wall is solid plus three 4’ walk thru corral panels as a way to contain if I need to work on my girls. I can access the front or the back while keeping them contained…seems to be working well. Thanks for sharing! Love the metal wheels being utilized! God bless✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸🐂

[@robdavis331]

You guys did some serious thinking and planning prior to building. Great Video!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Rob!

[@bobkinney7913]

My grandfather stopped milking in the early 70s but he loved Holsteins so much he kept raising the as beef cattle!

[@GierokFarms]

Nothing wrong with that, It is sure nice to have cattle around!

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great job designing to stem the natural curiosity of dairy cows 👍👍👍

[@GierokFarms]

Thanks James!

[@darkdamen1769]

The old timers think about everything. The amount of experience and knowledge your dad has is quite impressive. Really well thought out and it’s a workers mentality that makes it simple to use but very complex to design then build. You guys have a great thing going. Looks like your dad wil be able to be really proud that the next generation will do a great job. Farm is good hands. Good job and best of luck.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

Very impressed with all the thought that went into the cattle building! Great job all around! A lot of simple, uncomplicated engineering and practical applications that go a long way to make the building durable, dependable and highly functional. The cattle look to be of high genetic quality too! Have a great 2023 and beyond...

[@benburns5995]

Congratulations to your Dad on having the perseverance, knowledge and ability to build such a nice barn. One thing that your dad forgot to do was to smile, it always seems more inviting for people watching the video. It is great that you, your dad and brother can all work together to make the farm successful. Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Ben!

[@carriebork3750]

Great job Gierok’s. A lot of thought and heart went into the new barn. Thanks for continuing to share your farm life.

[@GierokFarms]

Thanks Carrie!

[@charlescarriere76]

Wow, that building has your father spirit locked into it's design. A nice way to write your family history. This building is build to last and well thought. Enjoy the fruit of hard labor. Congrats

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Charles!

[@lt1nut]

I find the thinking and planning and "scheming" to make it best for the intended use(s) the most enjoyable part of the whole project. I'm not a proud man but I take a lot of personal pride in that when I'm using/working it. Its dang nice to see others the same way, reassuring that I'm not a total freak. THANKS for sharing that with us; good on y'all and job(s) well done!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Lloyd!

[@farawayfarm2520]

Thank you Kevin!

[@jda1961]

your dad is just like my late father. thought it out b4 building anything. i've seen my dad build rafters b4 even digging the foundations and they fit perfect. guys like them are rare.

[@GierokFarms]

Oh for sure! Thanks for watching!

A long-lasting barn built right from the start can save you a lot of time and money! Thank you for watching Douglas!

[@billroberts3864]

Thanks for the barn tour and pointing out the interesting special features. I like the use of the old steel wagon wheels. The oak boards over the manger is unique. Blessings to you all.

[@peteschiavoni]

You all did a fantastic job planning and building that barn. Beautiful!!!

[@ronzezulka6646]

I chuckled through this entire video. George at his finest.

[@stanhensley3082]

A little of this and a little of that and a lot of thought and you have a very well made and very handy shed!! Sure works for your farm. Thanks 😊.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Stan!

[@joelritter5230]

Beautiful barn, it's cool to see all the foresight that went into planning and building this barn making it functional for your farms' needs.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you Joel!

[@bosseliminator]

Very well thought out for long-term durability and use. I liked all the extra steps to keep the cattle from ripping things apart. We did our free stall barn to slope in the middle to take use of the natural lay of the land instead of making it flat.

[@GierokFarms]

Livestock sure can mess up a building fast, Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@theburnhams2925]

The "built to slope" concept was the "eye-opener" in this one! What a great idea! Let gravity handle your drainage issues---for FREE! (well, with some thought...not exactly free) The clerestory opening is genius....assuming the builder KNOWS his environment intimately. My own is "pointed" due S and glazed. Overhang computed from !0 to 03 month exposure. I didn't have to compute for a bunch'a hot cows in my house. Excellent video (as usual) thank you for the tour!

[@jameseidahl367]

Great add on like the wind doors, lights, deco trim, roof design, and a great repurpose of wagon wheels. Great build from start to finish!

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you James

[@GierokFarms]

Thanks James!

[@marlinyohn8982]

I just stumbled onto your channel. What a great find. Your dad thought of just about everything when he designed the barn. I was a mechanic and worked around farms. The farmers always took notes when you worked on a problem. I knew that they would never call me back again for the same problem, because they fixed themselves the next time. Most farmers are smart and very creative. Thanks for sharing your farm life.

[@GierokFarms]

Thank you!

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Great explanation of how this barn was designed and how it works. Thanks.

Great looking barn and very functional. Great experience behind the design.

[@garyfeser4294]

Well done once again....enjoy these videos with my Saturday morning coffee lol....I agree with a lot of the other comments...simple and effective design....listening to your dad explain his thought process reminds me of my dad lol...all the small time farmers no matter where they are from must be kindred spirits lol

Thank you Kevin!

[@billsauberlich7337]

i just found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. Your Dad thought of everything when he built that barn ,after using it for a couple years are there anythings he would do different. That wheel fence is unique, I've never seen anything like that before.I'm from NE Wisconsin, seeing the hills you farm you must be in western Wisconsin?

[@GierokFarms]

Welcome to the channel glad to see another Wisconsinite watching! Yes the drift less region! Thanks the wheels add a nice touch! Thank you so much for commenting and watching!

[@GierokFarms]

No problem, Thank you for watching!

[@paulwasserman97]

Wow, Your pops is amazing in his thought process & abilities. It’s nice to see old time farmers. My pops raised 50 head of cattle when I was a kid & a lot of the things you guys do remind me of my childhood. I used to throw down silage & bed the cattle with him however went into a non farming career. Tks for great memories & always help pops wherever needed. I sure miss mine.👍👍❤️❤️.Merry Christmas from my family in NW Ohio to yours.

My 10x30x30 barn, is made of mostly salvaged machinery crates at a cost of $2500 . It is used as a workshop and storing VW Vans . I grew up on a farm where I learned to become an engineer . The wood was stored for six years as the work began when I retired .
