Spraying Alfalfa and Moving Baby Calves

[@dazr123]

Eric we own a small (620Acre)Cattle and Horse breeding operation in Northern Australia (NT),l have been laid up recovering from a shoulder operation and me and my wife have just binge watched all your video's .We have truly enjoyed them and congratulate you on not only showing the younger generations involvement in farming but show casing Farming and the Dairy industry and what proper farming and animal care looks like.Thank you for taking the time and effort in making the videos.Wishing all your family all the best from Australia and give the dogs a pat from us.

You, Tom in UK and SaskDutch I absolutely am addicted to. You guys are awesome. Very much appreciated!!!

[@keithhill77]

I've been watching your channel for a while now. I totally enjoy your videos. I grew up farming, beef cows in the Texas panhandle, just didn't love it. Wish I'd stayed in it. Nothing so pure as the ag life. It is so refreshing to see a young buck understanding importance of keeping family farms running. Also seeing the way you care for the animals is awesome.

[@williammurr7154]

[@kevingray8616]

Given the mainstream media, Covid BS, etc. all I do is watch these videos. SaskDutch Kid is good too. I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when SaskDutch Kid ran a video of 10th Generation Dairyman. I also watch The Hoof GP. My brother is watching re-runs of Green Acres. The rest of the world has gone nuts.

[@bobbeck5947]

I have a tad over 3 million miles driving. For a few years in the 90's, I worked for a feed co in Pittsburgh delivering brewers grain from Pittsburgh Brewing. It's a great bypass food, tough to store though. We didn't have any customers as far east as you guys, Somerset was as far as we would go. But, I will say this, of all the different types of people I have met over the years, the dairy farmers were the hardest working, most polite and professional of all I have met. You folks fit right in with that mold.

[@Dmac92able]

You will make this farm an even bigger legacy. I’m a father of two boys and if they ever grew up and took over things like you I would die the happiest man. Keep doin you bud.

[@smallthingshomestead279]

You and your Dad do a fabulous job. You guys seem to be right on top of what needs to get done and you do it. Very easy to see that guys love your cows and what you do. Beautiful farm and a great video. Thank you for sharing. Amazing what two men can accomplish in a day when the days are thoughtfully planned out . Like the way you explain things in very easy understanding way.

[@Ducky2964]

I seriously can’t get enough of these videos. I started growing up on a farm but then moved states. My best friend’s father was a care taker of a cattle farm all his life and I spent many days on the farm with them. Calving season was the most favorite time of the year. Then once a year my family and I would go help when it came time to castrate the bulls and then worm & vaccinate the ones that needed it. I’ve also always lived in rural areas where there’s nothing but farms. Thank you for sharing your life. I enjoy watching your videos and I’ve also learned a thing or 2.

[@citrusfarmer]

I wish my boys still worked with me on our farm. You father must be so proud of you. You’re an excellent farmer at your young age. Good job my man.

[@mikecorning8999]

19 yrs ago i asked each one of my children if they wanted to go in with me i have 3 all said no .I had a dairy in up state ny. The reason they didnt love it like i did good enough for me.Last may 12th i shipped my last load got out because of age no i didnt go broke no i didnt take no govt money time to retire.Now i have beef cattle.Point is if ur kids dont love it dont force the issue gotta love what ur doing

[@DevilDog3330]

@@mikecorning8999 Have to agree. Thing is though, living in Texas, I see way too many large parcels of property being sold by family members who inherited the land their generations before worked hard because either they want the cash or don't have the love for the work. Nothing wrong with not wanting to be part of the family business, but I believe if your kids want nothing to do with the business, they shouldn't inherit the land. They end up selling it and erasing all the hard work of previous generations. Either sell it when you (farmers and ranchers in general) retire to a family/company who can afford the land or sell it to a developer yourself and retire to the Bahamas. But don't give it to a bunch of ungrateful inheritants who just want to profit off the sale of the land! Damn shame to see all these family farms being sold to make money off companies who jsut wanna build a bunch of houses.

[@citrusfarmer]

@@DevilDog3330 Could not agree with you more.

[@8tomtoms8]

@@DevilDog3330 I totally agree. My Mom and Dad worked their asses off and did without to buy a farm in northern Md in the 60's for us three kids to grow up on. We began converting it to an organic farm in the 80's and it continues to be now. We put it in the Land Preservation program in Md last year so now it will remain an organic farm and/or agricultural use for the rest of our lives and beyond. No housing development on our farm!!!

[@kimberlybrookes5844]

justin whitley - But you’re doing it to commodify these animals? That’s why they are there in the first place. They are your livelihood so of course you’d want to protect them. I don’t see how that ultimately good for the animals when they end up dead from your doing (ie. You being the reason why they are there). If it truly came out of a place of compassion for these animals you wouldn’t be in an industry that kills them. Seems obvious.
