Moving Cattle into Upgraded Barn

[@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.

[@peanut71968]

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

[@dustinmueting829]

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

[@gavinperry7237]

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

[@shaunarnold499]

Enjoyed watching the build , Great job gentlemen

[@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.

[@harrytaylor6854]

always nice to have more room looks great well done

[@MarcvanExel]

Pretty sweet, looking good man!

[@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 😂😂

[@warehouseman6325]

Great day on the farm

[@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. 🥰

[@jenniferhallam9063]

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

[@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.

[@jamesmisener3006]

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

[@stevenhorne5089]

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

[@rodneydufrain3623]

Improvements are allways a plus

[@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.

[@choiness89]

i kinda miss the days when you just stop out of nowhere and say something is not right then go look and pull out milk or sodas.. haha

[@db7059]

Pull out bottle milk out of hole in concrete

[@lil_ish_2122]

Yah 😅

[@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

[@e.a.bfarms]

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

[@billcampbell2943]

Very efficient setup. Makes expansion of the herd easier

[@BlazeDuskdreamer]

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

[@patfleming7837]

Congratulations on the barn expansion…looks great!

[@gilly0691]

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

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

I really like how thought out the whole project is

[@johnc8112]

Excellent job

[@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.

[@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!

[@paolokraghel7655]

Supervisor of works always present.

[@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 🧐

[@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.

[@joetheagent]

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!

[@jesusisGod1434]

Looks great!

[@thomasmccardle725]

The expansion looks great Eric

[@tonychristopherson7987]

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

[@jeffreyshier9021]

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

[@jaywest4102]

Your pup has absolutely no idea how small it is.

[@trudyeagan4336]

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

[@CarlosSejas2007]

Thanks for keeping us up to date in the upgrades!

[@TheOldCowboy1952]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@josecarlosoliveira9644]

I live in Brazil and i know what you mean to make what it takes ends meet and keep your cows friendly well done

[@tony98discovery]

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

[@jimzoesch5799]

Sweet. Thanks for sharing. Your narrative is excellent.

[@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! 👍🏻

[@bryanhubner9848]

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

[@jamesryan9206]

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

[@carynix8043]

Awesome video as always Love the new addition

[@gregcatlett1458]

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

[@Rel1369]

I love seeing the pup running amongst the cows as she looks like a mini cow.

[@Dj-zz]

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

[@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.

[@danny88dh]

The new area in the barn looks good that will definitely be handy

[@Warcity777]

The little things matter when building.

[@rearlt]

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

[@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.

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

That is a really good idea, thanks

[@brucemanley7593]

How does using bean stalk differ from straw for bedding? I'm guessing probably cheaper?(R)

[@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!

[@birdfeeding]

Looking really good. Happy cows!

[@joshprice1256]

I bet the new part has Mountain Dew hidden in parts.

[@stevebiddle8912]

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

[@skr84nj1022]

If you add a square plate to the center pole where it fits into the slot in the ground, you can keep dirt and bedding out all the time, and it’ll be easier to get the pole out, and make room for the filler plate without having to scoop any dirt or bedding out. It would probably make the pole sturdy too because it won’t let the pole rock back or forth in the hole. I love seeing new stuff, new builds, fresh ideas on how you get stuff done on your farm. I see others making videos and wonder how they manage when stuff seems out of place or not efficient. When will we see the 11th Generation Dairyman?

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Another great video brother from the imperial co California.

[@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.

[@heathocker6687]

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

[@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

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Eric your dad puppy is so cute running right beside your truck hauling cows be careful you don’t run over him . Put him in the truck . That is awesome you got more room for pregnant cows and deliverer a calf if need to . That would be awesome to have a hoof trimmer parlor in the barn . Now you don’t have to go back and forth with pregnant cows taken from one barn to the other barn yo have calf’s their all right in one barn .

[@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.

[@cindymarker2087]

Always improving. Your animals look content. Congrats.

[@harrietcarpenter2387]

Thank u for a great video.

[@chorgzent.3978]

dope af barn. millions invested. priceless payoff eventually. al cienon no cap 💯 🙌 👏 🔥

[@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!

[@burtzorn4059]

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

[@jonstaum8297]

Nice extention!

[@MyAlaska12]

Looks like you are getting the farm set up to maximize functionality. Good for you

[@jonplante7589]

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

[@charleslynch7274]

Congrats on the expansion of the barn really enjoy seeing the farm grow

[@decorateyouryard1773]

Your Sir are making a good dairy/farmer man. You and Dad /family have to be proud!

[@donnamullins2089]

Barn is now homey. Great job Thanks again.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Looks great now ya got plenty of room

[@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!🤣🙃😂🙂🙂😂🤣🙃🙂🍦🍨🍼🍶🐄🐄🐄🐮🐄🐄💩💩🐄💩🐄🐄🐄💩💩🍻‼️

[@jackthewisedog5171]

well done on the extension

[@danielelliott1570]

Addition looks great I'm always interested in what your channel brings also enjoy how well you and your father work with each other

[@tdimccullough]

have you thought of installing an automated milking setup, i was working for a dairy farmer who was installing an auto milker, his second one, he said he had more free time for himself also the cows got milked when they wanted, also they produced 20% more milk, the auto milker cost £180,000 each so they must be worth it, also the milkers were installed in the sheds where the cows lived so no moving back and forth to the parlor. if there was a problem the milker sent him a text informing him what the problem was also he could see the cattle on his phone with cameras in the sheds

[@tonyozimek2116]

Thank you for your videos, you do an amazing job documenting your life!

[@francrawford3246]

New addition looks great! Like you say, happy cows, healthy cows.

[@kellwood1404]

This improvement is very clever to a city girl. Thanks for showing it.

[@theimaginator16]

You guys prove over and over again that you don't have to resort to inhumane practices to maintain a dairy farm. You never use cattle prods, all it takes is a nudge and the girls move. That doesn't even take into account the lengths you go to ensure their comfort. Thank you for being awesome human beings.

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.
