Thank You!

It's amazing to me how the build up formed on the concrete, but you got it taken care of with the skid loader bucket. You have a nice and simple system on the white board, tracking the treatment of the cows, I like it.

[@glcmranger421]

Eric, thanks for your explanations in your videos. Your thoroughness is great for people who have questions. I thought that paste you put into the teat stayed there until after drying off period, but logically it did not make sense. I figured body temp would melt it or it would work it’s way up or down. I thought it was just there for a few days (long enough to stop infections) and then dissolved. Very interesting. Thanks again. 🏍🇺🇸🎒

[@SomedayTooPulling]

Looking forward to see if you incorporate some type of tillage, maybe ripper, to loosen up the compacted soil. Was quite interesting to see differences with corn a few videos ago.

[@jamesmilos9909]

It’s interesting the same terminology in beef cattle ranching here in Montana means something totally different. To us, our dry cows are ones that came up not bred when pregnancy checked in the fall. Excellent channel!

[@CMDSR]

It’s funny those cows would rather stay in the barn than outside. That corn crop is really looking good Eric.

[@susiejett8289]

I'm with you the more the cows are out the better for them. The air is better, they get exercise and that makes a happy cow. Fresh grass is great too ! I love this channel glad I joined.

[@chasing_giants_tv_terrypeer]

got to love demo units! exciting.

[@bfd1565]

Cool video bro. I'd like to see you do a test trial on till or no till. Personally I'd till 5" and wait 24, 36 hours before planting. The continuous practice of no till. You end up with impacted soil which isn't a healthy head start for root structure to reach into the soil web of nutrients. I believe you'll see a 30% difference in yield. Split each field in half. It won't bankrupt you and you'll end up with solid data in your farm for the future. Best wishes.

[@cntryme]

Honestly, I don't think anything can be worse than tilling your soil. You cant judge no till just because you tried it once on a field that has been tilled for years, it has to be built up over time, and I can easily go and scoop up a handful of our no till soil. Whereas soil that has been till normally settles and gets hard as a brick until the next time you till, and when you do till, if the wind is blowing you lose lots of your valuable top soil. I recommend you doing some research and trying no till, but you can't just do it once and form an opinion, you have to give it a fair chance and build up the soil to it. We've been doing it for over 30 years, and our soil gets better every year

[@amber4417]

Cows are so funny! They're so curious and interested in what you're doing

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Nosy Nancy's! But so funny 😂

[@rossy83]

Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures! I follow several ag. related channels and this is the best!

[@thetundra]

Appreciate the extra details!

[@theimaginator16]

I love these herd management videos. They teach me so much about the nuts and bolts of the farm! Great video AS USUAL! 😁

[@tedc.4956]

0:50 Gotta love Eric humor.

He'll bhai main bhi dairy farm chalu kiya please support me ❤

[@nathandukelow1863]

A lot of farms up here in Central WI don't even raise heifers. They'll convert heifer facilities to dry and prefresh cows. Breed all the cows to Angus or limousine.sell the calves. Then they buy all there cows at sale barns.

[@brianhansen826]

That sounds like a genetics pot luck

[@josephsprague4757]

Where at in central wi ?

[@benmulder2266]

Though about doing this for years, but contracting with one larger dairy for replacements.

[@Kenwortht660guy]

Like how farms work he raises angus

[@MichaelBrown-qn9hi]

Eric, even though you put a week's worth of work into your videos. They still leave us wanting more, having GREAT CONTENT will do that to your viewers.

[@donnamullins2089]

Herd is looking good. You and Dad have so much maintenance everyday to keep your place running well. See you next video,

[@andrewstaerk2796]

For the teat seal if you grab the bottom of the teat and push all the milk up into the udder and then put it in and pull down on the teat until a little bit comes up it nice a nice glob and seals way better

[@franciscosandiego3026]

When you dry cows 🐄 do you use a big big towel 😊😊 from the imperial county California 👍🚜

[@asquithmainlines699]

I was just wondering this afternoon how you new dog was doing, glad you showed it.

[@robinmarie5180]

How are you liking being in the new house? Are ya unpacked? Love the video's.

[@kristianc472]

Have you ever considered cutting some (~1/32”) grooves in the calf barn? I think it may be a worthwhile investment.

[@mch_mr_j]

We had to lock the heifers outside, was always a challenge to get them to stay outside. How is the solar project going?

[@danny88dh]

Actually it is good filming Eric! Lol I've personally never said it but dude you do a real good job at filming in my opinion. You rarely leave us hanging. I think you guys have a pretty cool farm it really reminds me of our family farm when I was young you and your dad are a good team!

[@Dj-zz]

An excellent educational video Eric. Great Job. Super editing. You remind of my day watching you on the bobcat. Like my dad, your operating of the bucket was like a extension of your hands & fingers. Skillful!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I would tell people that dairy cows get their maternity leave 60 days before they have a baby. It seemed to connect better. You are doing a great job Agvocating for the business. Kudos!👍👍

[@chrisforsberg7328]

Hi Eric, i can see your family run a very efficient operation looking after your cows and calves. From new born heifers up to the mature milking herd and everything in between. I was wondering if there is a specific age or time you stop milking the cows? Its never a dull moment on your farm, always something different to do. Thanks for sharing. Chris from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@cntryme]

Idk about eric, but on our farm, we normally milk them until they start to get "old" which is usually around 7-10 years old. And then cull them, but there are some younger cows that we sell because they don't do as well as we want or never really had a general liking for them lol(rambunctious acting, never cooperates, always doing something stupid...etc. but for the most part, there isn't that problem🙃🙃

[@richardbradfield7437]

I’ve been viewing/subscribed to your channel for a couple of years now, and enjoy each video you post. I grew up in Rising Sun Maryland which is rich in dairy and general farming. Had a few childhood friends who were in dairy farm families and it was always so much fun spending time on those farms! Those visits created life long memories for me! The best was building forts in the hay barns and just being around such a wholesome environment. Thanks is not enough words for all you and your 10 generations have done, and are still doing, for our society today. Love the channel and please keep it going! P.S. the only other dairy channel I subscribe to is Tom Pemberton’s in the UK.

[@janetdupree6353]

You would probably enjoy watching I Farm You Farm. A small dairy farm in Ireland. Adrian (he is the farmer) is a hoot, plus I adore his Irish accent. He is a hard worker too.

[@joshmarkey780]

Eric what about using the broom that you use to clean the bunkers with? Airports use brooms to remove ice from the runways in the same manner.

[@RiDankulous]

Things seem to go well in this video. The cows behaved when being moved. 👍It'll be nice to find out how much power you get out of the solar panels.

[@mkgyanofficial-ff8ur]

He'll bhai main bhi dairy farm chalu kiya please support me ❤

[@infidellic]

Feels like you could use one of those rotating brush attachments for the skid steer. Of course easy for me to say when i dont need to pay for it!

[@dralord1307]

Im pretty sure they have one they use for cleaning the bunkers.

[@zaheerAbbas-bj2wf]

Please mention the intrammary tube for clinical mastitis

[@charliehuyskens1335]

Well done ginger guy love your work. Moo-man.

[@joeandjudygreen5398]

Like seeing the calves.

[@TexasGTO]

How many solar panels? I had 50 put on my house. I can only imagine how many you have!

[@Travis_Rivers]

Maybe extend your hose out to there and spray that after every milking ?

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Awesome the solar is almost online. God Bless.

[@_Merica_USA]

Another great video 👍

[@ericm3780]

If you put a lick tub out in the pasture the heifers might make trips out to lick on the tub

[@janetdupree6353]

Always interesting. Thanks for sharing 😊

Do seal the teats after dry treating? we always did that seem to help with SCC

[@nicktrailphotography576]

Idk if you still read comments but my 4yo old has been watching you every night before bed since he was old enough to pay attention to his surroundings. It would amazing for him if you said "thanks for watching, Samuel" at the end of a video. 😂😂 Been many years of watching and sharing your channel with friends and family 😊

[@bryanezell904]

This is pathetic sir. Teach your child what an entertainer is and be a role model yourself.

[@shamrock56gargan96]

Might want one of those Harbor freight fans. 😊

[@JackieDannenberg]

Eric, if you had all the necessary resources available, would you want to change to a circular rotating milking parlor or would you prefer robot milking machines or stay as you are ? Just curious. Going to ask SaskDutchKid aka Jan the same question.

How long do you typically keep a dairy cow?

[@smithyboy657]

👍👍

[@r.scotthill3082]

I thought you had gone to selective dry treating, not so?? Don't you wish you had a drafting system so that they could hold cows that you needed work with? Are heifers confirmed pregnant by blood test or palpation?

[@jjhbhd520]

Hi Eric!

Do you think the cows have cow friends and know each other, like a dog or cat will?

Very educational video: Reminder to lock your bucket in place lol I actually noticed when you were getting the manure bucket that the auto-locks didn't move

[@rickperry9546]

You know SuskDutchKod said something along the lines of “someone had mentioned to him that drying off cows was taking a towel to them or something like that…. Lol great video

[@rearlt]

No worries on the camera drop. You cameraman, producer, director, star and grip boy all in one. Hey, do you know what they used to do with dry cows before they had the tubes?

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

My day is only complete when I see cows doing the new bedding "happy dance". lol it never fails. As soon as they're released, the back legs come up and the dance begins. And it's every single animal no matter how old. It must be genetic.

[@cntryme]

Oh I love that, it never ceases to make me happy😂😂

[@Wosiewose]

I've noticed the Veggie Boys' cattle do that too when they get fresh bedding. Always makes me smile.

Dying off Cows?!?!?! !

[@nickreuling2932]

Drying off cows is what it is called, where the cow stops milk production before they give birth to their new calves.
