"Eggs and bacon if you were wondering". As a matter of fact I was.

[@tunaharhar5666]

I asked that like a year ago, the answer I got was "Eggs". LOL

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

Me too. I was immediately jealous. Those days are over for me. (Heart disease, aging sucks plus never did the work of a farmer.)

I read this when he said it

[@jerryglen986]

The cows are so interested in cameras. I heard they like music. Eric set them up with relaxation music.

[@birdfeeding]

Something mooving, perhaps. :)

[@keefchief3234]

Let me tell you, LOL, I used to be a maintenance guy and I remember setting my wrench in one of the milking stalls and every single girl stopped to investigate. It was really funny watching them

[@SirDigger420]

@@birdfeeding Not too much mooving, or you get milkshakes

[@zimmhollowfarm8414]

Maybe they will produce more milk if he plays music.

[@lauricarpenter1144]

Cow kisses 😘

[@martinengland6966]

Congratulations on the front page Lancaster Farming article today!

[@martinengland6966]

Forgot to say we dairy farm in the north eastern corner of Maryland a little over an hour south of you. we enjoy your videos.

[@sueupham2519]

Nice

[@pfd37]

Haven't gotten mine yet, usually slow to get up here to Maine. Looking forward to seeing it.

[@rickhammer1905]

Liked the introduction!! The cows sure like to investigate the camera when coming out of the parlor.Always like to see the little calf’s.

[@B4rberblacksheep]

I think one of the main things I've learnt from watching this and other farm channels on youtube is just how curious cows are. They always seem to want to know what's going on

[@FureFarms]

Nice intro! You should do that more often. 😂😁

[@Hello-qs7mf]

Yeah I thought that was pretty good.😆

[@TexasGTO]

Thank you for being so honest. When your dad got hurt you could have done the cringe clickbait and made a stupid face with your dad holding his shoulder with a dumb title like Dad got hurt! But you didn't. I don't think most even knew he had gotten hurt till after his surgery. You got so many subs without clickbait. Without overdone thumbnails. Without an intro/outro. Thank you so much!

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

Honestly, I think this is one reason I treasure this sub. I've tried some of the more clickbaitery farm vlogs and just groaned and said nope. I don't want overdone, over-blown exaggeration. I'm enjoying seeing just good, honest hard work here.

[@1984shadow]

You rock...You are the best farmer I've seen on the web.You're on top of everything...you family should be real proud that you managed to take control and keep everything in tip top shape and clean.

[@bobdevine4906]

I particularly like the “no hands” manipulation of the scrape pit lid. 😊

[@Bogieking78]

"Man may work from dusk to dawn but a farmer's work is never done." A little change on an old saying.

[@magnuskarlsson3116]

I really enjoy your channel! You show actual work and explain what's going on. Most other FarmTubers stop doing so when they get bigger and just turn into influencers. Great work, keep it up!

[@JRD77VET]

Eric, congrats on the FRONT PAGE of the Lancaster Farming newspaper. I grew up on my neighbor's dairy farm ( smaller, old school 30 cows) and my wife grew up on a dairy farm. We both know about the hard work and the care needed for good milk production. Happy cows equal increased milk. Nice you are able to show the other folks what really happens on the farm. Jeff

[@jamesrivis620]

I am very impressed with your constant awareness of what needs to be done .

[@skylarkovack2561]

The cows leaving the milking parlor checking out the camera was awesome 👍😂

[@billmapes7401]

Let it play with all the commercials all the way through go back through and skip the commercials and watch it a second time and that will help and that will help him out.

[@kennethdow7075]

Manure scrapping, my favorite!

[@tunaharhar5666]

Got my merch today, shipping was pretty quick! Received 5 days after ordering, I hope it helps support the channel and keep up the good work. I love the fact that you really care about the comfort of your cows, you do mention it in like %50 of your videos. Considering they are your livelihood it makes sense to keep them as happy as possible. Take care!!

[@asquithmainlines699]

Eric I can totally relate to the cows being slow in this hot weather. It is 10:30 am and we are already at 30C. I have gardening to do but hey I just noticed 10th Generation Dairy Man put out a new video so I suppose I could stay inside in the AC for just a bit longer.....

[@rohrerdairyproductions4080]

Lol love the intro. Trust me I don't have the energy of Cole the Cornstar

[@IndianaJones247]

I thought Eric's style of introduction sounded familiar! ^_^ 👍

[@MrKittke]

All the cows after they got milked looking or touching the camera really got me ❤️

[@Purpleburple107]

Keep up the good work love the cole the cornstar intro😅

[@barbarastedillie1336]

Eric I totally respect you and your operation. Farmers/ranchers are one of the largest groups of unsung heroes of this world. But I still can’t wrap my head around removing new born calves from their mamas right after calving. I have since found other dairy operations that keep the calves with the mothers for a bit and they report it’s benefits to both the mamas and their calves. I’m relieved that some do keep new pairs together for a bit.

[@shnr2003]

You should sale calendars of your best girls.

[@salmonhunter7414]

I would buy one.

[@jofarwell9744]

Great idea John! "Cowendars"...with stats. Takes lots of work, but would be a goal for 2022! Maybe a project for one of your girls?

[@steveketchum9836]

you guys sure like your underground pits and pipes. I like to keep everything on top, easier to unclog

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

I thought I was watching Cole the Cornstar on the intro. That cow at the start of the video sure looked contented. Love your channel.

[@budndeb]

Love watching "Eric The 10th Generation Dairyman"!!! You guys and your family are the best. We here in Pennsylvania sure do appreciate your family and all your hard work!!! Got my 10th Gen hat this morning in the mail ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!!!

[@treetop5752]

My friend, I hope you are blessed to still be milking when you leave this earth! We have lost EVERY DAIRY in 3 connected counties!

[@patattepuree1774]

Lmao when he goes , ugh its a bull calf. The disapointement was real

[@possecomitatus77]

Glad to see you are getting some rain.

[@owl_2327]

That intro was gold 😂

[@loisblais3431]

Nice your parents got a holiday. Hope they enjoyed themselves and got a rest. Nice to see you’re getting some rain. Crops are looking great! So exciting for the new build, that new door slides smooth. Things are moving right along, congratulations! Blessings to your family.

[@garyfuiten5126]

I've got a couple of kids that don't like taking pills. That Pill Shooter thingy would come in handy. 🤓

[@classicalmidiorgans]

That is really very funny. A pil shooter comes in handy for that too.

[@matthewgrisnich1769]

Imagine telling your kids that you bought a mega sized pill shooter that projects large pills at a high velocity down the throats of its victims. Asserting dominance over children has never been easier.

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

[@sethwiedeman1799]

I enjoy watching your videos it brings back memories of when I milked cows

Man. You do more work, in one day, than my entire family does in a month. And there are six in my family. It makes me feel like I should be doing way more than I do. Thanks for all you do, it’s a privilege watching your videos. Who knew some Vegas guy would love watching your videos. Keep up the good work and work ethics.

[@richsellskc]

Drove though your state of Penn recently. Awesome state, great small town Americana folks!!!

Easily the best dairy farming channel on KZbin.

[@MillerFamilyFarms]

I just got done reading about you in the paper. Love the channel and keep up the good work. I have always wanted to own a dairy farm so I am saving for it. I plan to post videos of it on my channel. My family started small in farming and we are growing. Thank you for the joys of watching your channel. -A fellow farmer from Somerset County

[@AntwonTX]

Every time I watch these farm videos, I gain a wealth more respect and thanks for all they do!

Wow that's a long place you scraped, your barn will be open soon woot! I like you clean up your equipment good job

[@ryanwaege7251]

Haha, nice intro. Love how every cow checks out the camera.

[@purplebunny7728]

Thought the previous "intro's" were just fine. It will be interesting to see what you come up with. The corn looks great. Who knew I'd ever be interested in how some ones corn is doing. Just wasn't on my radar. Now it is. For you and many others. Hoping for the best for you and the corn. Thank you for sharing.

[@larrycroft470]

Eric your girls are the healthiest and happiest on the entire internet. Y'all do a great job with them. It is no wonder we have the best milk in the world here in America.

[@bobjarrard]

Eric, using the breakers to turn off the fans in the long run is not a great idea. A set of contactors with either a simple switch or a timer switch or both is much safer. Bob J.

[@KJ-kw7gh]

As long as the circuit breaker is marked for switch duty, (SWD) then it’s not going to be an issue.

[@bobjarrard]

@@KJ-kw7gh Watch how Eric and all the rest of us "swipe" or broad hand smack the handles of the breakers. He has a big stack there, true up to some level of amp draw you can use SWD rated breakers for switch duty but even that is not intended for regular use. HD's have heavier contacts usually that is why we do not use them for switches. General rule for most of we licensed electricians is to use single breakers at times for switches for isolated loads but for similar loads that are banked off all at one time, use a contactor and Eric could put in a timer switch and have the fans come back on in say 15/20 minutes. Also, a contactor can be tied to a high voltage thermostat and the fans can come on according to "Barn Temps". Another benefit is that the contactor(s) can be in a more convenient place, include a duty light, can be WiFi controlled, and none of this was a flame on Eric, we all think the world of the channel. Interfacing by comments on technical matters is one way of affirming our care for each other. Eric and his dad have brought in an electrician for the new big fan, they are cautions about those things. They crawl into a silo without any of the Cal OSHA safety equipment and protocol in place but then they are 10th Generation Dairymen and I am a 1st Generation General Contractor/Electrician. Good thought on SWD breakers, maybe Eric can pull the cover and check each of the breakers for that rating. Not sure how often he adds bedding in this area but likely more than once a week!! See ya in DairyLand. Bob in Nevada

Hey, went to visit a college buddy for his annual bday and 4th celebration in litiz….the corn and soy beans look well ahead of last year. Not a farmer but crops look good. Well beyond the knee high. We saw corn 5 or 6 feet high. Hard to see the new barn, but the heifers were rambunctious lol! I think they know they are getting new accommodations! Wish you all the luck! We will drive by next year! I should edit this and say, we are not crazy people, we don’t stop or try to talk, we are just fans lol, not creepers. Dive by once a year, since we are two hours away in wilkes-barre. My wife gsays she doesn’t know how your female milker does it lol! She said the liquid manure would be her breaking point! Love the channel! Keep it up!0

Nice watching the process of the new barn , thanks !

Back in the day I was doing just what you are doing on the farm. I wish I was still doing as such. Love to be working with you and your dad but old age is challenging.

Good breakfast. Start the day out right. I'm sure it included a cup of coffee with fresh cream. Yummers.

[@ericklamotte617]

When will you dehorn the calf. Perhaps you could make video of the process of dehorning and burning of the horn tissue to prevent horns from growing.

[@caseyhissong4319]

Something we do when giving are cows that calcium pill is after we pull the pill injector out is hold there head up a little so it doesn’t come back out. We have had the pill come back out after walking away from it and not realizing it. Plus u don’t want those pills to break or they are no good and just waste time and money.

[@mjj8788]

For some odd reason the manure management videos are the most satisfying.

I can't swallow a pill that big. Good news it's a suppository. 😂😂 Looks like Surdy-built headlocks and gates. Makes sense since their local to you.

New subscriber. I’ve been watching The Hoof GP, the Midwestern guy, and Nate for a while now and for some reason you popped up in my feed. I can’t believe how clean and nice looking your cows are. I never realized how friendly cows were until watching GP. I can’t say that I’ve actually watched the farming end of it but it looks like a lot of work, so congratulations to you for continuing on with the family business. they took all our dairy farms away in Southern California and seems like they replaced them with housing.
