My dad raised me and my brothers on a small dairy like yours. We farmed about 640 acres and milked 145 cows. I am proud of you for what you do with your children. I wish every dad would involve their children like you do. Believe it would be a better world. Keep it up. You are a special dad and i am proud to support your channel. Please keep it up. Thanks for taking me along.

Loved the look on (I think it was Jordan's face) when he realized that cow was coming right at him. He moved quickly. Smart! You have some special kids, so you must be doing something right. They can be proud of themselves.Thank you.

The only function that the old cab served on that skidloader was aggravation. A friend of mine recommended running some automatic transmission fluid in my field to keep things in my fuel system clean and lubed. It may help your Governor issues. It might smoke a little, but it's old enough to smoke. I enjoy watching your videos, and seeing g how you and you family interact with eachother, and your cattle. There seems to be a lot of love on that farm. One of God's many blessings.

Hey Alan, great to see the kids pitching in with all the chores. Brings back a lot of great memories for me on my Grandparent's farm. My grandad had a stanchion barn down the road a bit where he kept his older heifers. Had a gutter but no barn kleener. It had a low ceiling too. He would back his manure spreader in the barn and I would help him shovel manure into the spreader the same way you and Jordan were doing it, one on each side. Thanks for the video

I know what your saying about the safety thing that bothers some people. Not everything can be bubble wrapped. I drove tractor for many hours as a farm boy that were open station, no ROPS . Granted we are in flat land country, but you had to just stay away from the ditch banks for the most part. The narrow fronts are more dangerous. I had a relative of mine that was killed driving straight thru a shallow ditch with a narrow front. The front end went up and just kept coming. I think that happened before my time. There are things like that in every walk of life. Another great video! God Bless you and your family!

The most important piece of safety equipment is the OPERATOR! That goes from a kitchen knife to the biggest machine. You know that you don't have a "cage" or ROPS on your equipment, and you operate it safely, and I think you know to instruct your children how to operate it safely. Non farmers don't seem to get that. Keep the videos coming!

Two questions first those grain bins you have in the back ground are you going to put your shelled corn in. Plus the tractor you have in the garage you showed the other day are you planning on getting it running and using it on the farm. As far as the bobcat without the roll over on it I used to work at a grain elevator fertilizer company and our bobcat never had one and ohsha never said a word that was in the.80's so I am sure it is different now but I loaded a lot of fertilizer and corn with that thing never had a problem
