Thank You!

[@obiwanrazzy]

Cracks me up every time a cow starts poking around a camera.. that one actually made me jump. Thought I was getting licked in the ear for a second there. Lol.

[@MrPa1971]

Impressed how calm and quiet cows you have! And so calm they where to enter the transport. And so nice in the body on heffers ,cow and calf. Manny plus from me.

[@larryshaw7230]

I agree 100 %

[@canvids1]

Great video and You and Dad sure can move the cattle around when you need to. The little trailer is just big enough for the job. Silo looks great.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great video. The silo is really impressive. It seems you have a bit of sadness in having to send the older animals off to their next phase of life. Thanks again for a super video.

[@maxbarkman5811]

With the cows with the crossed teats, try crossing the milker when she is put on and tie the cable around kick bar and milker hose. It will help her milk better

[@JHruby]

That new Giant telehandler will be awesome . Cant wait to see it in action.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Built a 24x84 concrete silo in 1976 Flying Dutchmen unloader. They mixed their own mix on site pulled forms by hand. Good luck men.

[@dougblasberg8244]

Week old calves are bringing big money right now in the Midwest. But your price is the highest I've heard so far. Nice sound fleshy culls are bringing over a buck a pound. Beef is good property.

[@GaryLaurin]

Eric great update. Silo looks awesome. 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@josephbennett3482]

Wow Eric it's about time that you finally got yourself a telehandler I've been saying about one for a long time, it's going to be of great use for your feed mixer instead of using the bobcat which has limited reaching capability.

[@TheBloodypete]

For a second, when you were showing the roof being put on, the new silo looked like it had a mad lean!!! Then I realised you were just holding the camera at a jaunty angle! 🤣

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Beautiful farm. All your cattle are so well behaved. God Bless.

[@JB-mf1zc]

Mighty fine that sure was some good prices for them calves!! God Bless!!

[@Dj-zz]

That’s a monster silo. No way would get me to climb that thing even if I could. Look forward to see that in your next video. Please tell me that you’ll be tied in with a safety harness. Great video Eric.

[@classicalmidiorgans]

I can't figure out why you don't put a bottom unloader in that silo. The pressure of 24 x 132 ft of haylage or cornsilage is going to be put the bottom 30ft so tight in there- rockhard - you top unloader will have a really hard time getting that last 30 ft out. Also constantly having to climb 130 ft (!!!!!) up to adjust the unloader on its way down. I wished you would discuss that aspect with your dad as well. 130 ft up will happen several times. I would like to hear your opinion about that. Also having that feedcart ( from Lely) to move in between barns in the winter time- with snow or in the pouring rain? Why don't you just buy a much larger TMR mixer and feed once a day - like we do with very good results.

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

I'll discuss bottom unloaders in a future video. Multiple reasons we want to avoid them. Feeding once a day can give good results but we think this will give us even better results.

[@Palmit_]

Ya Got Me! 0:46 "let's see how i did?" Spot on! The jockey wheel is on the brick dead on!! 👍👏 hugely impressive. Then i realised, you werent' reversing the trailer in... doh 🤦‍♂ i'm such a donut 😂

[@michaelhollstegge5444]

Awesome viedo as always! Quick question: Why do you not fix the heifers in the feeding fences while moving them from one group to the next one and only set those free which need to go to the next group? That way sorting is easier and you can even do it alone :)

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

We do that sometimes but it's usually not too much trouble just to chase them.

[@MajorMajorx2]

Sad to see the long timers go off to their final home - good thing I'm not a farmer! Thanks for the video.

[@robertthomas5590]

My wife and I drove by a few days ago and seen the new silo. Very impressive, also said hello to your dad. Thanks for sharing.

[@jazzerbyte]

That wheel loader looks like a new machine class, ought to be interesting to see how it adapts to your normal farm tasks.

[@PartyOf8Please]

With the open cab, it looks cold in the winter 🥶

[@carriebrumley8926]

I agree I'm just concerned about that open cab too winter rain dust

[@blister762]

They demoed them 6 months ago and the had closed cabs. Check for the video that starts with GIANT.

[@jeffreyshier9021]

I love that the cow attacks the camera after you shut the door.😂😂😂

[@DiscoMood]

That was precious. This will teach you to sell us.😂😂😂😂😂

[@whatisgoingoninmiami]

the outro is the freaking best part about this whole video. Love it fam

[@kingdragan1972]

Love watching your videos. It reminds me of my childhood, I was raised on a farm. Keep up with the great stuff

[@lol-vz8kd]

Very fun to see a Giant loader, I drive a G2200 x-tra myself.

[@SCHARKBAIT11]

@2:30 imagine being sold.....cuz you aint right lol

[@charleslynch7274]

Silo looks great!

[@steveneal2706]

Really AWESOME and amazing video Eric. Thank you and your dad. The Silo looks amazing

[@bigdcarmichael]

“Having those utter problems.” 😂

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

whats up with the mini house in the bunker?! I really think that loader is where its at. It wont replace the skid steer but you wont need one to be for everyday all day use. It would be so much more comfortable to use it seems

[@MellowYe77ow]

They're temporarily storing the house for family.

[@boonemathis225]

I think we need a "running the foot bath today" shirt/hoodie

[@timothyfry8470]

I’m surprised at how quickly the silo went up,it would be interesting to know how you like or dislike the telehandler, it looks like a fun machine to try out

[@Campminivan]

Great videos I always look forward to seeing a new one. are you still going to use the silage bunkers ,if not they would make great barns if you used fabric hoop roofs

[@blister762]

He could put metal frames, trusses, header walls on the top of the cement walls, metal roofs and make them barnes. Store all the equipment in one, make another into a work bay and the third a office space for eric with a basketball court and a walk in cooler for his chocolate milk and mountain dew.

[@zalen4357]

Your dad wearing a 10th Gen Shirt is fantastic

[@f4bkyn388]

3:57 cow: gotcha!

[@lidsman2221]

Love to see the progress! Thanks for the video.

[@blister762]

Hey Eric, on my youtube feed a video popped up for Macon One showing your demo of the Giant wheel loaders. Had to chuckle. You put on a good demo.

[@davidcantu824]

❤ ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC ❤

[@mannsjm]

Definitely going to be leg day when climbing that silo. Need a rope and a bucket when you are doing unloader repairs so you can call for someone to bring tools to the bucket instead of climbing 100 or more feet back down to get something.

[@-AV8R-]

Looks like a new addition in the bunker silo.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Cool that the silo is mostly done and you get try out that machine for a little longer.

[@benmulder2266]

Just got report, south central wi. Black calves bringing $10lb /Holstein brought 6.65! It's a wild market.

[@patring620]

Uh oh...I think that silo is leaning a bit...hehehe

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Good to see the silo getting done, that was sure neat to watch. Thanks for showing it to us. Good to see your calves, their doing good too. Thank, I hope you have a good rest of the week.

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤video ❤❤great information about what your family deal with on a daily routine ❤❤the silo looks great, how long will it be for the roof to be put on, also silo being used❤❤calving season ❤❤

[@stevebiddle8912]

Congratulations on getting the first silo finished. Hate to see those two girls go but it’s part of the business.

[@philipfleming3546]

It's amazing how you get 1 on trailer an the rest pile in.

[@josephbennett3482]

Cows are herd animals they instinctively follow each other and if it's a routine they do then they also follow their routine but many farmers don't put their livestock on a trailer too often since it's not necessary once they are on the farm they're usually there until they die.

[@tucobenedicto109]

Good thing its built before the first cut. Are you putting in another one or is one enough?

[@blister762]

They're putting in three silos.

[@JW5601]

13:09 "He's gone! Lick the camera!"

[@josephbennett3482]

😂😂

[@greggerwitz2668]

After watching your vids for quite awhile, it surprises me how little your cows vocalize!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

It is awesome. They are spoiled girls. :)

[@zachward9242]

For scale those bunker silos made that house trailer look like a toy 5:16

[@wurstwasser8943]

Whats the purpose of those ladder safety cages? Do they prevent injuries when falling down? Wouldn't a safety harness be more secure? I'm genuinely wondering.

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

If you slip you can catch yourself

[@Michael-8903]

Nice house in silo clamp 🙈

[@PartyOf8Please]

That’s for the high milkers 😂 The perks on a the farm are amazing 👍🏻

[@richardarmida8151]

Your animals are content and a little frisky. Testament to the way they are treated. Silo looks huge, can't wait to see the auto feeder in action.

[@cdmcl3]

presuming you pull the camper with the silver truck--but when do you take time off? (i know all that's not really for the 10thgenpublic camera, etc.)

[@kyleellsworth966]

Great video, awesome to see progress!

[@swager1408]

If you have time, it would be really cool to fly the drone and check out the roof of the silo and fly it inside(don’t know if those cameras work in the dark…)

[@jamesoconnor677]

That's mad $800 for AAX calf We just getting €120 for them here in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@Mad_Farmer912]

I wonder how much the cost is just for the roof? O just scraped the roof off a 12 foot diameter silo and it was a total of $56 for just the aluminum.

[@chadrwilliamson]

I'm curious what the small home will be used for sitting in the bunker.

[@jordanhodnett5273]

Does your solar panels run your whole farm and is there a storage area for extra energy so you wouldn’t really need a generator if the power went out

[@MellowYe77ow]

No to both questions.

[@terryaltman7560]

Grass is really turning green isn’t it !

[@trtj200]

Just curious do they put any sort of sealer on the inside of the silo?

[@glennluciano8787]

Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@DrewskiusMaxiumusTheThird]

I'm waiting for you to climb the new silo only to be like "Oh hey guess they left some tools" and pull out a soda

[@jeffstanaszek2272]

Wow, that is high…. Great job!

[@larryanglea3458]

Sounds like you got a good price for the calves ,that's good it helps.

[@carolynrose753]

😂 cows long tongues will taste anything.

[@alexandert6489]

i see that model home in the bunker silo at 5:11 . is it something to do with the farm or just renting out storage space

[@gregvitrano5324]

That looks like a long climb to the top...no rest platform? Maybe you should rig up an elevator(LOL) Stay safe and thanks for the videos.

[@vince8723]

im curious. why are silos built high in stead of wider? would the balance of height and wight be the most cost effective build?

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

Narrower silo gives us a faster feed out rate so fresher feed. Also 24 ft unloaders are easier to maintain than 30 footers.

[@carriebrumley8926]

Silo looks amazing and did anyone peep the modular home sitting in the bunker? Eric didnt mention it just curious and I love all the baby cows oh and the one Lady who tried to eat the phone i think she was trying to take a selfie lol

[@lorenplock8244]

I was wondering what’s up with the mobile home?

[@blister762]

Since Eric is going to lose his office during the upgrade why not put a better office in the soon to be obsolete bunk. He can also put in a half basketball court if not a full one and don't forget a walk in cooler for Eric's chocolate milk and mountain dew.

[@user-ce7bj4rk8r]

Hey dumb question, but why don’t you guys get the concrete Grover guy to rough up the floor in the calf barn? It seems like you fight that slick floor a lot.

[@SvetlanaRudovsky-r1s]

🏡Great video yes 🌈☀️🐄🐄🐄🚜🚜🚛🚛 Happy Spring 💐🌹🌹♥️💌✨

[@railroadman57]

Eric those calves be going for veal ? The older cows going for beef ?

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

The calves will be raised as beef cattle. Cows are going for beef yes.

[@yagznalcakan9915]

perfect timing just finished cooking the dinner :D

[@boertjejanvh3696]

A lot of money for the Angus...👍

[@dbcooper1492]

question, what is the modular home in the bunker for?

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

Just storing them there for a family member for a bit

[@PartyOf8Please]

That’s where the high end milking cows stay 😂

[@Moseseverywhere]

Great Work 💪 💪

[@IchabodCraneMD]

No one ever talks about the physical toll working these types of jobs take. Can you speak on that at all, what you do to stay in shape, what you eat daily for nutrition? Is there anything you recommend to people regarding milk, whole vs 2% and how that works?

[@ROBERTWIILLIAMS]

that is a huge silo...

[@iansmartel5473]

The milk cows that you sell, do they sell to the meat chain or do other farmers buy?

[@josephbennett3482]

Meat production.

[@jacobberger7109]

Will a new shop/storage shed be built since the the old shop/storage will be ur feed room

[@rodneypitts8002]

I watch all video after started watching and subscribe backtracked to very beging watched from get go up till know love your c hg anel always interesting to watch and seeing y'all new feed silo go up been awesome as well to watch had no clue even built modern day out concrete or some cases stones designed fit together and held together with steele bar around outside witch tightened tightly just took for granted thinking all made out steele framing and sheet steele been awesome see go up and look forward seeing as yall get hole new system in place and up and runningv

[@Ferreira-ft4bt]

Could you enable the multilingual voice option in video? I'm from Portugal and I know some people who also watch your videos (the subtitles don't always translate correctly)

[@jodymercer7122]

Now with the silo almost completed and the height in which it is , my question for you will there be a need for Aviation safety lights (white in color for daytime and red in color for nighttime ).

[@MellowYe77ow]

There aren't any nearby airports, so lights aren't required until 200'.

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊

[@curtisowens4588]

The older 🐄 that was sad but it is a business. How much did the two 🐄 sell for?

[@johnc8112]

There is alot of concrete on that sola, they know what there doing.

[@agreer5429]

When a cows udder folds in like that. Could be a birth defect or can be age? How much money can young male cow's be worth?

[@leonhardeuler675]

Is there a lightning rod for the new silo?

[@ConstantinVolp]

What do they always use for bedding?

[@thomasdennis637]

Have you guys had bulls with your milk cows before ?

[@PartyOf8Please]

Yes, that’s where the 5 he just sold came from.

[@thomasdennis637]

No I mean in the milkers groups in stead of breading yourself

[@10thgenerationdairyman]

Not in my lifetime

[@KobieWebb]

I love farming

[@bramhague2010]

What I learned is if you walk calves backwards it's easier to get them to move especially on the concrete

[@Boot_185]

I set my trailers just below the ball then when backing you feel it slip over the ball and your dead nuts on. Looks like you almost were dead nuts on

[@محمدعبدالمنعم-ط5ث]

Peace be upon you, your brother from Egypt. I have a sum of money and I will enter this project. What do you advise me when I am just starting out?

[@BigJohnyb1020]

What do you do with the Angus heifers?

[@benkpsnyder]

Hey eric. How do your cows load so easy? Are they used to the trailer?

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Because the owners spoil them and they are.comfortable.

[@benkpsnyder]

@@beckyumphrey2626 i wasnt asking you. I was asking eric. Ive been watching his videos for 4 years now.

[@robertolibra7298]

How many months old are the heifers you moved from the calf barn

[@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192]

Just wondering how come you don't need to tag de calves before you sell them

[@josephbennett3482]

Because the tag is the tracking number for the animal so the meat processing facility knows where the animal came from in case of an undetected disease is noticed in the animal after it is killed and slaughtered they can contact the farmer and let them know what they discovered so the farmer can check the other livestock.

[@pauljamesfitzmaurice3192]

@@josephbennett3482 as far as I'm aware all calves have to be tagged before you can sell I'm just wondering how come you don't have to do it de usa
