It’s so nice to see a dairy farm get put back to production instead of everything being torn down and the land developed. That’s what’s happening to any farms around us when the owners pass away.

[@802Farmers]

We are very proud to say this farm is able to produce milk again.

[@timkelley8775]

Love to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@scottlabant8406]

Great video! I'm sure it was a challenge getting girls trained for new parlor. Dairy farm I work at went from double 5 to 32 rotary parlor. It was a real struggle getting trained, especially getting them off. Keep up the great work and keep farming!!

[@802Farmers]

The a huge change. Thank you!

[@red_power79]

Curious to see the manure storage at the new farm. Maybe u showed that and I missed that . Thanks Have a good one

[@802Farmers]

You could kinda see it in the first video of the farm. Someday I’ll do a tour

[@scottlabant8406]

Grant, have watched a lot of your older videos today! Most of the day! Couple of questions, how many cows are you milking at home farm? How long will the silage last once it is exposed to oxygen? Neverending repairs, great that you can fix most everything.

[@802Farmers]

Thanks for you! 600. I depending the temperature can be one day can couple days. Heat is a killer. We always try to fix everything

[@frankmcnish8489]

Looking like everything is going well on the new farm ,will the family build the herd back up over time at the main farm?

[@802Farmers]

Thank you. That farm is fine at the moment. We raise all our own replacements

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video guys

[@802Farmers]

Thank you!

[@thedemoninyourcloset9260]

Do you need any help milking cows, i did it for a farmer by me for 11years and been away from it for A few years and i miss them cows. A lot of work and time goes into just the cows alone not counting field work and shop work. Great videos you have thanks for sharing. Roy

[@802Farmers]

We have plenty of help for milking. Thank you though.

[@kevinkevlar8050]

Great job guys love the vids

[@802Farmers]

Thank you

[@marco98V]

It’s cool to see it’s still possible to be a farmer in 2024, or farm is going in retirement because doesn’t pay off anymore at least in Germany. Be moving to Canada this weekend.

[@ferdinandw2257]

Have a safe travels!! We moved from Austria to continue farming

[@802Farmers]

It’s not easy but farming is a life style!

[@daviddedeo5684]

Nice video ! No sugaring this year for you guys ?

[@802Farmers]

Thank you. Yes we did. Just didn’t get any recording in the woods this time.

[@johnhenderson299]

Great educational videos

[@802Farmers]

Thank you!

[@johnmulder4121]

Great video, need some auto cow brushes 😊

[@802Farmers]

Thank you. Maybe someday. They are expensive but would love some.

[@maximush9811]

A leg out of a pair of blue jeans works good on the end of the auger. (Wore out jeans)

[@802Farmers]

Good to know

[@ronzimmerman8968]

Looks like the cows are getting used to the new routine.

[@802Farmers]

Yes. They are finally settled in now.

[@russellpetrie119]

is it worth leaving the feeder tractor in the feed ailse in the cattle barn keep it warmer

[@802Farmers]

Only when it’s really cold. Otherwise no since it’s in the way to push up feed with the skidsteer.

[@brysonhaggard]

great video

[@802Farmers]

Thank you

[@russellpetrie119]

if you have an old water trough lying about put in the feed ailse put some salt blocks in them or maybe a tire and bucket

[@802Farmers]

I’ll end up doing something.

[@andrewbrown8704]

What are you clicking on the back window?

[@802Farmers]

The barn door opener

[@jamesshingledecker3158]

I always have the feed wagon running when putting stuff in it so it mixes while you’re loading… do you have any problems getting it started when it’s full?

[@802Farmers]

I turn the pto on after 3/4 of the grass is in. And for all the corn. Any sooner I loose a little grain from the door. No problem starting the pto.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job feeding

[@802Farmers]

Thank you

[@joshuagunderson6065]

No tag axels on the Pet that’s sucks but nice truck can’t haul as much

[@802Farmers]

Tag axles get in the way a lot for our steeper field driver ways so it doesn’t bother us that it’s not on there.

[@StewartLandandCattle]

Do you have another crew to milk and feed at the home farm?

[@802Farmers]

Yes. We have a full milking crew and one feed man. We feed on Sunday’s ourselves at the main farm.

[@johndeerejimmy4019]

That space for the alley scrap comes down to how rich you feel when you’re building the barn.Had one neighbor who put the corner wheel outside the barn to save space.What a big mistake that was.They corrected that by building a huge extension in which they had the scraper backing up under a gate.

[@802Farmers]

Sounds like that was a headache. Lol.

[@sodbuster518able]

You would have been better off to "cage the parking brake Springsteen to back off an auto slack adjusters, not a recommended practice to back off A slack adjusters

[@joeoconnor9630]

Did you guys have to buy a herd of cows to fill a second setup or you over stack that bad at the home farm

[@802Farmers]

We trucked cows over from the home farm

[@stuartsplace100]

i have always been debatable about the spray or dip cup.for me,the jury is out on that

[@802Farmers]

Can’t beat the results from the cups.

[@johnhawkins294]

How many are you milking between both farms ?

[@802Farmers]

200 & 600

[@derrickvaught8748]

So how many cows are you milking at each farm

[@802Farmers]

200 & 600

[@dylanhaldiman1045]

How r u guys breeding ur cows?

[@802Farmers]

Almost all AI. Some bulls for anything we miss.

[@ChasVincent-k4e]

Are you milking at both farms

[@802Farmers]

Yes.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job milking

[@802Farmers]

Thank you!

[@stuartsplace100]

did it 7 and 6 when i worked for your dad

[@802Farmers]

Still how we do it. Works the best.

[@dennislang4375]

People don't like change, either.

[@802Farmers]

No they don’t but can’t move forwards with change sometimes.

[@michaelleach1334]

Correction that Pete is a 378

[@802Farmers]

Tag on the truck says 379 so…..

[@michaelleach1334]

@@802Farmers My mistake. I've owned quite a few Peterbilt. My long hoods were 379's and the one short hood I owned was a 378. I could be wrong. I apologize. I Enjoy your videos.
