Moving Cattle into Upgraded Barn

[@peanut71968]

Great layout, shows how thoughtful you guys and gals are toward your work procedures and cow comfort! Cheers!

[@solarscreen]

We have really enjoyed seeing all the improvements on the farm this year. You are obviously thinking about these things and working on a plan to get them taken care of. It's obvious in your videos you are serious about the farm and have ideas for the future. Time for another Q and A with Dad? :) Discuss the changes made since the last Q and A and thoughts about what's next? Thanks for the time you spend keeping us updated! We love being part of your KZbin family!

[@parkerschaar]

Yes we need another one!

[@clairestaffieri4398]

Really smart, good design for the new addition.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

The new addition looks great! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@dustinmueting829]

You need a paint company to give you some good paint to advertise and repaint all your gates in the new barn .

[@strobelightbrian]

Glad to see the project completed, love the details.

[@donevens4357]

Looks really nice Eric thanks for sharing all the neat things you and your Dad do!

[@tony98discovery]

His dairy farm is amazing, I love all these dairy cows.

[@shaunarnold499]

Enjoyed watching the build , Great job gentlemen

[@gavinperry7237]

EXCELLENT explanation as to reasons for expansion. Looks like the modification were well worth it.

[@CGW116A]

Great explanation of the expansion and features! Lots of experience and planning went into creating an efficient barn. Nice work guys!

[@swoiwode]

Like what was done to the building, well thought out.

[@yoshiki7757]

0:22 lol I couldn't help but bust out laughing at the yippy dog cutting you off and you having to restart what you were saying after seeing you complain about him barking all the time a couple videos ago.

[@David_Landesman]

I had to rewind and relive that moment 2x 😂😂

[@jamesmisener3006]

Enjoyed your tour of the new addition and how it will work for you and the cows of course. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@ericpeterson9051]

You should take that Center Post and put a plate on that as well that will help keep the sand and saw dust out of the hole

[@JB-mf1zc]

I find 99.9% of your videos interesting and try not to miss any!! Thanks for sharing God Bless!!

[@tony98discovery]

The way he cares about the cows amuses and impresses me.

[@harrytaylor6854]

always nice to have more room looks great well done

[@willardhunt7000]

Your planning turned into a great barn setup. Enjoyed the build out process.

[@dylanem5452]

Love the new setup Eric! Cow comfort is your #1 priority, love the videos been watching for along time! From a grain farmer from Saskatchewan!

[@donnalannan2978]

It is all looking good. The cows look fantastic. Glad to see all your efforts are resulting in significant improvements for your livestock management and care.

[@tony98discovery]

His dairy farm is sure to thrive with the seriousness he takes to the cows.

[@tony98discovery]

You have been very serious about developing your dairy farm. I like that very much.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The addition looks awesome. The cows.look amazing and so relaxed. Awesome farm!!! God Bless.

[@jimzoesch5799]

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Your narrative is excellent.

[@zachsmith98]

Great video Eric! Looks like the cows are enjoying the new space! Hopefully it pays itself off for you guys!

[@bigdcarmichael]

Eric, awesome video! I like seeing the little dog develop situational awareness for his own safety. I followed another dairy for a while, an organic dairy. Unfortunately, the KZbinr accidentally ran over his favorite barn cat. He was black, and I think his name was Felix. I felt bad for the guy, but he handled it well, saying he did all he could to look out for the cats. Unfortunately, this kind of stuff can occur on a farm. I agree with the others. A sitdown with dad to discuss the farm changes and outlook/vision would be great.

[@Dj-zz]

Another stellar educational video. Good new build. Impressed with your heard management/care

[@XOXOBBS4EVA]

In all of your explanations you have never had a negative tone in your voice. It has always been interesting and informative no matter how many times you've said it. That's a very important part your personality in these videos, along with chocolate milk and your sodas. Always been a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@steveneal2706]

really awesome video Eric. You and your dad are great working together. The new addition looks great. Thank you both

[@tony98discovery]

These two men are delightful, I love how they care about the dairy cows.

[@jenniferhallam9063]

Such nice improvements and Dutchess has become quite the formidable farm dog!

[@lourdeswaite9465]

I watch a lot of you tuber farms and yours is by far the cleanest most organized of all of them. Just beautiful job. 🥰

[@AAAAlberto]

An useful job ! Congratulations from Italy ! 👍👍

[@gethinjones1348]

Addition looks very good Eric with well thought out features that will undoubtedly help you guys and the cows as well. Thanks for taking us along in the build! 👍🏻

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I think it's great that you guys are expanding your pens and improving the flow and area for prefresh and special needs use. Sounds like you will be expanding your stock and your saying that allows you to pay for the new additions, awesome job. Sweet video, liked it, thanks for sharing. I hope you all have a great Sunday, stay safe out there!

[@MarcvanExel]

Pretty sweet, looking good man!

[@richardhicks7946]

Really enjoyed watching and hearing how y'all take care of the cows. It's shows y'all are not just in it for the money but really care about your animals. It was nice seeing you working with your dad. I miss them days of works Ng along side my dad. Keep up the good work stay safe and be careful. God bless y'all.

[@loisblais3431]

So impressed Eric. That’s a lot of planning and forecasting your future needs. Congratulations. You and your dad are good partners. Well done.

[@tony98discovery]

A responsible breeder, his dairy herd will grow very well.

[@paulreis1648]

Very nice expansion the way you explained it makes good sense

[@sunroofracing]

Thanks for sharing your great accomplishments and the history you're building for your children's future, and thanks for your service!

[@danawalker55]

The addition looks sharp!

[@jamesryan9206]

Looks great Eric thank you for taking the time and sharing.

[@stoamnyfarms]

I appreciate the way you're gentle and patient with your animals. So many people think you have to be forceful and loud for no reason.

[@haroldtunich8809]

Make sure when welding galvanised pipe you keep your head out of the smoke column, The smoke off of the galvanize is very bad. great videos.

[@JDHood]

New addition looks awesome! Love the pup's attitude -- Those cows would not have behaved at all without his convincing borks! He's doing his part to help! You should get him a little cowboy hat and some chaps!

[@janetdupree6353]

Wow! You have certainly had quite a bit of variety these past few weeks. Your video is always spot on with the details of farm life. It is not surprising that your subscriber numbers keep growing. Thanks for keeping it always interesting 🧐

[@patfleming7837]

Congratulations on the barn expansion…looks great!

[@daverukkila9089]

I love watching your videos. I'm really impressed with the details you put into all the expansion plans you've done. Very well done. Have a great fall season.

[@vanenmar7491]

Awesome stuff Eric! And a lot more space for activities 😁

[@tony98discovery]

It would be nice to wake up every morning at Eric's peaceful farm :)

[@bryanhubner9848]

The addition looks great. Well thought out. Thanks for sharing the video

[@rearlt]

Great addition Eric. Glad to see it come together. God's blessings are amazing!

[@rockett725]

Great improvements for your comfort & the cows comfort!

[@maggieyake8054]

Thanks for all the explanation of how you manage cows in their different stages (pre-fresh; special needs, calving, etc.) Very interesting to us non-dairy folks. The new addition looks good and should make things easier for you. I always enjoy your videos whether your farming, feeding cows, doing maintenance on equipment, or putting up new buildings!

[@MikhaelStants]

You may want to weld a bit of square plate to the bottom of the movable gate post as a way to keep the gate hinge lined up the way you want it The square plate could work as a "key" in the recessed square hole in the floor to keep things from turning. I could see a cow pushing up against the gate and rotating the post enough to release the gate from the latch.

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

That is a really good idea, thanks

[@gilly0691]

That little welder turned out to be really handy didn't it?

[@jeffreyshier9021]

Duchess is to cute.😂😂😂 Be patient.😂😂😂 Has she done any mousing yet?

[@rodneydufrain3623]

Improvements are allways a plus

[@davidepool5884]

Y’all put a lot of thought into this barn. I really like how you designed it so you can make the pins bigger or smaller. I would have loved to have a barn like that back in the 60’s and 70’s when we were in the dairy business.

[@stevenhorne5089]

That's a really good design. You're definitely paying attention to the details.

[@kennethgottschalk6056]

After I binge watched all you videos, I started to do the same with SaskDutch Kid, He has mentioned you a couple of times. Good Luck, Ken in Rhode Island

[@billcampbell2943]

Very efficient setup. Makes expansion of the herd easier

[@Larry-325]

Eric. Great planning being able to move gates and posts around anytime, anywhere you want. Nice job! 👍👍👍

[@CarlosSejas2007]

Thanks for keeping us up to date in the upgrades!

[@jw6191]

Wow! You guys have certainly given the expansion a lot of creative thought. The flexibility to change pen sizes should payoff for decades to come. Great videos. Thanks for taking the time and effort to video and edit.

[@Bizznichw]

Love seeing how you truly care for the cows. Makes that clover farms vs store brand decision so much easier!

[@Itylien]

Love hearing about cow comfort. Eve more about how their comfort translates to your comfort and vice versa. Everyone is comfortable and things are going smoothly. As it should be.

[@motley331]

I am so impressed by your concern for your cows across so many dimensions. I bet the milk your cows produce is simply amazing. Shame on me if I don't give your videos a thumbs up every single time.

[@tony98discovery]

He is very serious about taking care of his cows. That's what I like.

[@jaywest4102]

Your pup has absolutely no idea how small it is.

[@birdfeeding]

Looking really good. Happy cows!

[@trudyeagan4336]

It must be exciting to have the new addition. I’m glad to see all you do.

[@albertkikstra]

So good to see the constant development of your farm ! And so tidy, I’m retired from farming but wish I could have been tidier when I was still milking. Always trying to do too much myself, not good. Great job!

[@stevebiddle8912]

The amount of thought and preplanning you put into the addition and remodel is very impressive!!

[@paolokraghel7655]

Supervisor of works always present.

[@bumpstaggers4177]

Just a thought. If you weld a square plate on the movable post to match the plug it might help clear debris and help keep the holes cleaner over the years. That’s a great idea on pen sizing.

[@kathyk479]

Very cool! Your making it so nice for the cows!

[@st4183]

Eric - Now that the weather finally broke how much of an increase will you see in milk production? Mornings in the 40's and afternoons in the 60's has to be perfect for them.

[@thomasmccardle725]

The expansion looks great Eric

[@e.a.bfarms]

Man that's a nice addition, can never have too much barn space or concrete that's for sure!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Well thought out, well planned, well executed. You're new investment will serve you well. The father/son dynamic duo strikes again! It's been a pleasure following your journey up till now. Too bad those random chocolate milks and Mt. Dew's didn't appear anywhere you were working. Oh well, can't rely on Lady Luck to place delicious beverages around all the time!

[@carriebrumley8926]

Barn looks really nice the girls I'm sure are liking the space as well

[@RadicalLinguisticDescriptivism]

This was the finale video I was waiting for! The addition looks really good. The cows will appreciate the extra room and it sure looks like it will be improved function for you. Glad it came out. Looking forward to manure spreading!

[@robertthomas5590]

Nice upgrade...Thanks for sharing.

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

I really like how thought out the whole project is

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

That little dog is just so danged cute - and such a "helper". Barn looks great and lots nicer for the cows.

[@Classifiedreality]

Sweet, thank you for taking us along...👨‍🌾🚜👨‍🌾😍

[@davidcantu824]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC

[@carolynrose753]

A convenient door to go in and out of is a major. Easy to pop in to check on any cows that may need assistance. Be handy to have a cupboard somewhere close by for calving cow supplies also maybe a tap with a bucket ....all out of cow reach of course. 🐄🐄🐄🐄comfortable 🐄🐄🐄🐄happy

[@heathocker6687]

Sweet new set up for the special needs and close up cows. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

You always do a good job explaining everything. The cows appeared to load and unload with no problems.

[@williammerry4746]

My, you passed the 400K subscriber mark. I was hoping for a special livestream celebration. But you guys ate working day and night it seems. No time for extras but congratulations are in order. You have the equivalent of a PhD degree in your knowledge and skills of a professional farm work. Good planning and good execution of those plans. I am amazed at how much you, your dad, and other workers get done. God's peace be with you

[@dougdiplacido2406]

We are blessed that Eric has the time to make videos, but at this time of year I doubt he has time for a live stream. He also has a wife and two children that want his attention also.

[@justindavis7742]

Awesome job Gentlemen keep up the good work I enjoy gleaning from you all because I'm look forward to starting on doing it my self in Louisiana!!!!!

[@burtzorn4059]

Looks nice, and well explained. Your dad and you have a great farm

[@tonychristopherson7987]

Looks great. I would maybe grease the post before I put it in the hole to help with removal in the future.

[@johnc8112]

Excellent job

[@TobiTrans]

Great day on the farm

[@davidbishop4015]

You and your dad are always thinking about the future. The barn addition turned out really well. All the things that you included with the addition make a lot of sense. And it will make it easier for you two, to do your jobs. Great outcome. Great content. Stay safe.

[@shamrock56gargan96]

Progress always takes time,project came out extremely well

[@gregcatlett1458]

Someone else wanted to TALK,PUP! Love the movable posts and gate idea. Thanks

[@boomer9900]

Congrats on the barn addition. For fans check out big ass fans. They sell some real monsters. We have a few here at our local military base hangers.

[@jonplante7589]

Congrats on getting that done. Enjoy following you. Great videos.

[@mmurphy2317]

Eric...I raise a bottle 🍶of Clover Dairy chocolate milk to you and your dad and crew for making it seem like a simple finger snap expansion! And I don't know if it would have been nearly as smooth had it not been for Duchess running around "inspecting" and yapping at the "ladies" to keep them mooving!🤣🙃😂🙂🙂😂🤣🙃🙂🍦🍨🍼🍶🐄🐄🐄🐮🐄🐄💩💩🐄💩🐄🐄🐄💩💩🍻‼️

[@paulwalsh548]

Really enjoyed watching the place change for the better they seemed to love the extra space to walk around which is good for being locked in a pen so be good for cow health and happiness well done. Make work easier not harder.

[@petteraassved]

Nice and important addition to the farm. Improving cow health is really where you can improve on getting the most money out of each cow.
