Milking and Feeding Cows For the Next Generation! Life On a Small Dairy Farm! (Day Three)

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Pretty nice, the next generation of farmers working with the next generation of cows. Awesome!! Nice to see an appearance from Darby too. 😊

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

I remember my dad leaving me and my sister in charge of the farm for a week while he and our mom took a vacation. I was 16. No major complications, but there was a chain on a self-unloading wagon which came apart that I repaired That was back in 1965.

[@daspicsman]

That’s a great story. The best thing you can do for your kids is let them take ownership of things at a young age.

[@brentalbrecht4837]

I agree! It’s a wonderful character building and learning experience

[@mweisen1001]

Nice to see a herd that is truly loved and well taken care of. In today's big herd and robot milkers they never get to just pet and scratch their cows. Back in the seventies we could identify every cow at least by her utter. I love cows

[@350mack]

😊 yea. The old way was the best way. Unfortunately not many little farms left

[@Midknightdairyllc]

Robot farm here and my wife can identify every cow by their udder still. She loves cows don't matter how you milk them.

[@harveypenner2386]

Another great video!! Your chores are a good "work out", a lot of physical work! Saves you a trip to the gym.

[@timothyfry8470]

Nice seeing your wife out there helping, glad your mom and dad were able to get away from the farm and have some fun

[@RonSmith-w8l]

I enjoy watching your videos, I'm 70 yrs old in the lats 60 s worked on my 2 uncles dairy farms , they had little over 100 acres ea and rented ground . They milked 20-25 cows at each farm and they made a living . The tractors was a gas 77 oliver, Dexta 2000D and a Co-op 30 , they didn't have any big machinery debt so a small dairy herd was sufficient . My how things have changed , here in Central Ohio there was a dairy farm every 5 miles . Thanks for showing people how much hard work goes into farm work to feed the population, Love you FARMERS , SEGO RON

[@alithemagicbum]

Thanks for sharing, another great episode. Nice to see Darby again, definitely a keeper....willing to help on the chores.

[@BillDivyak]

Howdy Darby, good to see you again ( along with all the guys). Videos are always well done and enjoyable to see. Do appreciate your efforts. Something to think about, our neighbors are putting in 6 Lely robots can not wait to see how that turns out. They are shooting to start on Parade Day.

[@suecrothers9041]

Guys are doing awesome job! Sure your folks are enjoying there time away!

[@justfromthewoodshed7199]

Over the pond in the UK , we use shear grabs to get the silage/forage out of clamps, Leaves a clean face and doesn't go mouldy. It fits onto front end loader or skid steer.

[@michaelreinholt3606]

You guys are doing a great job alot of hard work goes in to a days work on a dairy farm great job of taking care of your livestock

[@dalehellenbrand357]

Wow that's is some good backing up that takes some good talent awesome job

[@anthonyblalock1790]

Great video and great team work

[@tractordan933]

Gotta love that old dairy barn. Beats standing in a pit and using thousands of gallons of water everyday.

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@magpie5710]

Keep it comin' guys and doll.

[@br927]

Dad would be proud of yous!!

[@randycharest4507]

ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO AARON 😊

[@hoophil]

Great video. Lots of hard work! Nice to see all of you working together! I'm sure your parents are proud of all of you!

[@charlesschmidt2886]

You should check into one of those Silage Shavers that attach on the skid loader. They aren't as aggressive as using just the loader for scraping silage from you pile there for it will help cut down on spoilage/mold. 10th Generation Farmer on KZbin uses one and they seem to work.

[@geraldsundberg3610]

A good explanation there Aaron!

[@daleberghorn6504]

Farming is a great life once it is in your blood you can't do without it great job you boys are ldoing😊

[@rickgarriott1940]

I think you guys are doing an excellent job. And keep up the good work

[@jpeel2066]

Thanks for showing us how things are going. Great to see. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@keithmaurer7082]

Maybe you need to look into getting one of those silage facing machines like “10 generation dairy” has that fits on your bobcat

[@davidkimmel4216]

I think you guys are doing a great job 😊

[@jasoncargould1115]

You guys are doing s great job keeping the farm running have you considered getting a silage defacer four your skid steer hoover in pa makes a high quality one

[@wadesellers7748]

Been following y'all for a while. Have you considered silage defacer for skid steer? Should decrease molding caused by air pockets.

[@clinthochrein888]

Awesome job everyone! Maybe you can call your parents an take a few mores days off? 🤔

[@Mike-yl6bs]

Nice job guys love the content!!! Is the unusual winter been the problem for the mold issue on the silage?? Is that typicality a problem on normal years

[@brianmclellan7001]

You need a silage shaver take a look at the 10 th generation dairy farmer. Between you and your dad you could make one. It works great

[@johnhenderson299]

Great job team

[@kjmatson3721]

Been enjoying that weather here myself but February came after all here in Upstate NY

[@bodiehot]

great job so far

[@dennisdole1764]

Great work ❤

[@chadmathisen8891]

great work boys

[@dalebennett9867]

Looks like you got things well in hand evengot the wife helping ya got a keeper there but you Already new that 😅

[@Deborah-z3k]

We always scratched our cows above their tail…. They loved it…their tongued would hang out…..Their favorite place to be scratched..

[@350mack]

Ik you guys are a small farm, but have you looked into a smal defacer that goes on the skid steer?

[@350mack]

Have your brother do some videos too 😊 love the content.

[@williammatzek4660]

The udder cola factory!

[@reginabraok939]

Perhaps you guys could do the research on an attachment for your skid steer to cut the silage away from the stack. Bring the research to the next family meeting, your parents may go with the idea if it improves feed quality!

[@JoeMahbalsich]

Can anyone tell me the purpose of the metal "saw-tooth" apparatus hanging down above the cows in the stanchion? Never seen these before in our barns.

[@Ironvalleylarry]

It is used to keep the cow from messing to far up in the stall. She has to backup and hit the gutter. We never had them but I have seen them. Maybe someone can explain it better.

[@JoeMahbalsich]

@@Ironvalleylarry Thank You! I understand now in theory. But I think in reality, they would Need to be adjusted pretty accurately. Could see use for particular cows with “incontinence” issues!

[@prariewindsfarm]

We always called them trainers. They did have to be adjusted for each cow. Our cows didn't have a stall of their own so we were always adjusting them.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

They are called a cow trainer they work on an electric fencer and they keep the cows from arching their back and putting manure on the stall deck rather than in the gutter. If they aren't their back up against the cow trainer it gives them a slight shock then they straightened back out

[@LenKasten-h3f]

Absolutely the correct explanation. We used them on our dairy farm in the 60-70's@@guydaubenspeck9206

[@keithraisor4030]

Do you use the silo for silage for cows . Just wondering

[@350mack]

When did you guys get a 7510?

[@Daveco82]

River!

[@michigantler5046]

cool

[@brianwestveer9532]

How many cows are you milking, and do you think you would put in a parlor for milking

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

That mold maybe try putting it in a place that u won't mow or cut it back into ur livestock. Mold will travel thru animals making them sick and spreading through the manure.

[@jimbradford818]

why don't you guys have a silage mixer for feeding cows

[@johnhatt1219]

Is the silo full

[@JoaoPires-pd9ot]

Oi 👍👍👍👍

[@lenasuggs]

Good Sons

[@user-eb2zc2vlad]

А силос хороший? ? Не испорченный???

[@Simplejack2514]

Ok..the cats away and now the mice will play..three brothers together when the parents are gone are SURE to start some shenanigans.... Is there a video of you three causing chaos?

[@jimhair152]

Do you use any artificial insemination to breed cows? Do you prefer dairy crosses rather than purebreds?

[@grote66]

You buy all this brand new equipment why not buy a defacer?
