They are just as curious as they can be. Love this. What a great idea for the ladies. Thank you.

[@patrickkoep7012]

We use street sweeper brushes, just make a steel frame that it just slips on vertically. They push it around if you dont hold it with a couple steel posts. With it vertical they can really get their necks clean. We've had ours in the yard for about 10 years and they're finally wearing it down.

Such a funny episode! Your Dad saying “you guys are gonna get soft” 😂 and then when your Dad backed up into the head of the cow and said “Alllllright!” 😂 as well as the building the playground story is so true; I experienced this myself with my kids! 😂 Last but not least I thought that first cow using the brush was going to knock herself out when she pushed the brush up so high that it came back and bopped her on her head 😂 Thanks for a good show guys!

[@tammygurke7482]

Love how the cows love papa George❤

[@georgepalm2307]

Cows are so funny, curious, and smart.

[@justfromthewoodshed7199]

When I milked cows (now retired) we installed an electric rotating brush in our cubicles. It was motion sensitive so would rotate when the cows touched it. They loved rubbing their backs and it certainly kept the backs clean of excess hair and straw. If you have somewhere suitable and next to power I would defo recommend getting an electric one. Like you saw welfare is key. Greetings from the UK .

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Tks for sharing. I've always enjoyed your videos. Just to see how happy and comfortable your cows are. Just shows how Healthy they are. Would like to see how your Bull enjoyed your brush. I liked the sound of the cow bell too.. sounded cool..

[@unclerob617]

They talk about Cats having Curiosity but this video reminds me how Curious the cows are 🤣🤣🤣 And then Milk Cows are more so because they are tame.

[@justinhargett7222]

It's funny to see but a bit annoying when you're trying to work. I've had dairy cows pull the rubber weather stripping off a cab, bust plastic lights, and tear open boxes of hardware.

[@ThomasM-w3d]

This one put a smile on my face. Cows are lovely creatures. Thanks for brightening my day.

[@stanhensley3082]

Dairy farming 101. Keep the cows happy !!! Marriage 101. Keep the wife HAPPY !!! Thanks 😊.

[@aaronsanborn4291]

🤣 yeah not in my house. If I'm not happy then no one is happy.

[@markschwab7829]

Great video going to be curious to see how it works out for your cows

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I don't think my wife would appreciate that brush. Just sayin. 😂

[@alfredomarotta6604]

​@@MorganOtt-ne1qj😂😂👍

[@markflick1641]

Had to laugh at all the cows coming to see or to help .😂😂😂 . Looks like you’ll need several more . Great video fellas .

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Pretty cool! I'm sure the rest of the herd will love it after the "boss" is done! 🤣🤣👍👍

[@nathanalmond8280]

Thanks for sharing the video. The cattle will enjoy the cow brush.

[@paulreis1648]

The girls will love the brush especially in the spring

[@greengus5258]

Here in Idaho the ranchers go to paving companies and ask them for the worn out brushes they use to sweep the asphalt on projects. Then they mount them for a scratching post.

[@jerryrobson9309]

I got a used one from the street sweeper they used in town. Put a pole in the ground and slide it over the top of the post. Worked great.

[@chrismarklevitz5217]

George, Mary, cow approved! George, love the way think before you act!! Wish that happened always in this world and life.

[@Boettcher_bros]

I just have an old street sweeper brush mounted vertically. The beefers like it, even the younger stock will rub up against it. Nice video! Love to see the cows in the barn. Brings back memories

[@tammygurke7482]

Aaron I knew it was going to be good when I saw Cows in the header for the story. Your heard is lucky to have you all❤❤❤❤❤

[@clinthochrein888]

The cows are just loving the brush. Very entertaining 😄

[@tonywise3705]

Gotta love a good scratch

[@johnnyman6098]

My wife went to a big construction company in St. Cloud to see if we could buy an old (street sweeper) brush. Lo and behold, they gave her two or three brushes and she brought them home made cookies. The guys were happy! The cows were happy, too.. We put a wooden fence post down and dropped the brush on it. It worked great - - as soon as the cows got out, they immediately went to rub on it.

[@jerrypmoore6532]

Maybe one would work for other livestock, horses, hogs, probably not so much for sheep. Even people!

[@RobertGedeon-kc8ev]

Just another great day on the farm 🐄 🚜 good stuff guy's.

[@TSB12556]

I married a Gurnsey farmer's daughter but did have a few Holsteins. My mother-in-law's view of Holsteins was, that they eat too much and are nosey! Your Swiss are right there with the Holsteins wondering what the scoop is! lol

[@robert12345678912312]

The cows loved the bristle brush. Now, they can 'scratch their own backs'. 😊

[@aaronb1300]

Lots of Supervisors. 😂

[@michaelforand]

The town gives us farmers the used street sweeper brushes for cow scratchers they work great

[@LarryLarsen-p6t]

I saw on ,Just a few acres farm, he drug a tree top in the winter outside lot and the dexter herd he has soon had all the bark rubbed off all the branches.

[@AllQuiltedTogetherLLC]

More curious than cats and that one really is using her head!! We used to get the city sweepers used brushes for our cows. They love to be self brushed! Great video and memories for me. Thanks!

[@geraldsundberg3610]

It's amazing how much they love that brush!

[@mrclaus859]

That was crazy. Like cats. Very cool. Thanks for posting

[@greengus5258]

Also, the paving companies usually give them to the ranchers because they have to pay to dispose of them.

[@kensmithler5965]

Too funny, that Roan cow was really having it out with the brush.

[@Hopefarme]

wow ! you very happy

[@bruceprentice6441]

Jersey cows are the most curious breed of cattle

[@tjmcmurtrie5756]

The cows wanted to use the brush b4 ya even got it up seems like ...lol great video...oh by the way ...ya gotta get a CASE IH hoodie now that you got that awesome tractor... With 4 new skins on it....she looks awesome with the duels....god bless you ur family and ur farm

[@mattlyon5156]

Thought the same thing " IH "

[@tjmcmurtrie5756]

@@mattlyon5156 lol. Just saying

[@harveypenner2386]

thanks for sharing!!

[@kenpalmer1900]

It will be interesting how long the post stays straight. Uou guys did a great job tamping it in but I might have used quick crete

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Those cattle really really want to helping you guys do the job

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

I never had a cow brush but I had a close brush with a cow once!

[@michelchartrand7257]

LOL !What was her name ?

[@jerrypmoore6532]

Anyone who is around livestock of any kind has had a close call or two! 😂

[@gizmogizmo912]

Love to see a video on the dairy bull you mentioned. I hear they can be a bit ornery compared to a beef bull

[@user-3D_Printer_Addict]

Used to play classical music in the barn for my cows. And I like the electric brush ones but that's my preference.

[@MichaelMoher]

Good herdsmanship, lucky cows!

[@billroberts3864]

The cows wanted you two to hurry up and be finished installing the brush so they could have a good scratch before they went back into the barn. Blessings to you.

[@RichardMixon-m2g]

Made my cow brush out of a street sweeper brush that was worn down. Has a 5" center in it just right to go over a 4" pc of pipe. Stands 5'. Cattle, Angus, love it, especially in Floridas summer heat. Their coats look better, and flys arent as bad for some reason.

[@davidburchfield2720]

Happy cow's give sweeter milk 🥛😋

[@bradfordricher3685]

Another great video. Thanks so much.

[@michelchartrand7257]

How is the fly situation in the summer on your farm ?

[@sirquickly3389]

I love this happy cows.

[@larrybruck2949]

That's really cool ! I remember my dad's beef cattle shaking the barn, using the beams as a back scratch. Also, 3 foot of frost! It's deep i think here in SE MI. but I doubt that much. Good to get out any compaction. God bless and have a good 2nd half Winter season.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Bear in mind, that anytime you have livestock or wheeled traffic it will drive the frost deeper

[@jimmyconnor9541]

Can’t wait for my XL hoodie!

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana

[@karlfahrendorff1050]

Happy cow's 😊

[@marklen2322]

I had a brush for my beef cattle and I was surprised how little they used it. I did treat the cattle for lice regularly, I don't know if that was a factor.

[@jerrybarlar9768]

Great video!

[@ryanbachman9227]

Talk to some construction companies and see if they have any used brushes from their road sweepers. Probably get them for a little of nothing then put a round post in the ground and slide the brush over the top. God bless

[@codyhowes2110]

Love the show

[@PaulTighe-e2n]

Great video

[@anneryan9157]

I do not think I have heard of the cold storage shed before.

[@RichLeick-k2f]

Question, what are the steel rods with the jagged metal bars, kind of like a saw , hanging down in the milking parlor? They are not in every stall but what is the purpose of those?

[@jimmyhartman4596]

Nice

[@charlietanner6211]

how did you drill that hole gotta be froze deep up there at north pole

[@scottburris9842]

i need 1 of those

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Cows are sure curious creatures aren't they? They are a little pesky too sometimes.

[@michelchartrand7257]

I don't know ,but with the weight and size of these cows,would'nt it be better to pour cement to secure it so that it does'nt come lose ?

[@Evelyn-cy6hw]

KZbinr Tyler over at FarmerTylerRanch bought 2 used Street-Sweeper brushes from a nearby small town. The town was getting rid of them anyway. The bristles are completely circumferential. He mounted one vertically on a tall post, at cattle height. The brush doesn't rotate or otherwise move. It was an instant huge success with his cattle -- and has remained an essential beauty-and-comfort station for all of them. The second brush has remained unused, lying on the ground. It flattened on its area that it is lying on, but the rest of it is still in excellent condition. Those brushes are very, very long -- they look like they were made for massaging cattle!

[@toddjohnson7972]

You need to remove them two bolts you installed so the brush can rotate better to brush the cows backs

[@scottblodgett1536]

There just like little kids.

[@johnschmidlin5175]

Holsteins❤❤

[@jimstoneii875]

They sure are having a good time with that brush!!😊

I thought you bought a red tractor time to wear your colors

[@steveadams1544]

Been watching from the beginning of the channel but I have a request. Less faces and more of what is being talked about. When your dad does videos they are awesome cause he is showing what he he is doing. We can still hear him without his face on the screen. Just a suggestion. God bless you all.
