The hardest thing about being a farmer for me…

[@jclint1968]

I grew up on a small dairy farm in the 1960s in southwestern Pennsylvania. So you can guess how old I am, yes I’m 75 years old. So if it’s ok with you, I’ll think of you as my adopted granddaughter. Just love you and Brent and enjoy all of your posts! I hope someday you will find a young man that wants to be a farmer and together raise a up some future farmers. Gierok Farms is another small farm up in Wisconsin, 0:01 I like. Here where I grew up, I still have a few friends with multi generation family farm, but over the years the dairy herds have grown to be really large. A friend of mine from high school, now milks around 700 head. However, these large farms are not near as interesting to me as small dairy farms. You along with Gierok’s take me back home again as a young man growing up on a small dairy farm. God Bless you and Brent and your family. PS can’t wait to see your corn planter in action come spring planting!

[@coreyacre6070]

older guys like me found her too late.

[@StanFinck]

Hey Taylor, don't want to be a bossy old man but when handling insecticide wear rubber gloves and mask. Don't want to see something happen to you. In case you have cracked hands or get in your lungs. Be safe and take care!!! From snowy Iowa. Stan.

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

I agree use rubber gloves and a mask when working with chemicals. I used my PPE when working in the chemical industry for 50 years

[@larrysokoloski-xl8xn]

Why do you sell some of your headers caves

[@david19659]

I am sure for someone who took the time to introduce each cow individually and by name and knowing what would become of the girl. I am sure it was a sad day. Reminds me of a saying. A dog will give you a lot of great days and one very bad day.

[@dbrbruce9950]

I've grown quite fond of that yellow truck.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

Possibly a retired Carter Jones lumberyard truck ?

[@jimhammer2012]

I worked on a farm and it was hard to find a dead cow in the field and have to get the tractor and drag her out to the road where they'll pick her up.

[@clarencedavister9098]

Good morning Taylor. Your videos are like a series of good books. When you finish one you can’t wait til you see the next one. Thanks again for another great video. Keep smiling, keep farming and praying that you that 2024/ is a great year for you and Brent.🚜🐄😉

[@tayfarms]

Hi! You are too sweet! I’m so glad you enjoy watching, I know I love sharing them with you all! 😀

[@tomotoole7241]

Or opening a parcel when not knowing what it contains that is what Taylor video's are * great *

[@teresadroessler9872]

Awesome video,same story on our farm we,hate selling cows to, they are like pets

[@user-br2bf1hl6n]

Sorry for you and Brent's loss. Hard job being a farmer. So nice of Brent to take the time to help you out with the planter. Can't wait to see her in action. Best of everything to you both. Deb

[@bncakitas576]

Life is cruel in many ways. Take solace in knowing you did the best you could for her for 10 plus years.

[@stevenww3560]

Selling them cows always feels like your saying goodbye to a loved own your own family member for sure! I bet you have allergies not a cold 🤧 Happy New Years Tay!

[@kenjimrankin7485]

As a farmer myself, I like to see people who have feelings for their livestock. There are many things we have to do on our farms that we do not enjoy, keep up the good work.

[@danr5104]

I remember when Dad bought a IH 56 planter, first 4row in the valley. The first fields we planted had almost zero germination. Turns out the seed plates were put in upside down! And it ground up the seeds. Live and learn. Good thing seed corn wasn't as expensive as it is now! You brought back a memory of my Dad, thanx. Good luck with your planter.

[@johnnymayo8534]

So sorry that one of the girls had to leave. Decisions like that r never easy to make. Can't wait to see ur planter in action!! Wishing u & Brent, ur families & friends a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

[@Autigers2013]

Sorry for your loss at the beginning!

[@rayeddy528]

Congratulations on 14 K Subs !!! Well deserved !!! Side note, most vehicle 4way flashers don't operate with your foot on the brake. Great channel Taylor !!! Be careful and God bless !!!! Eddy

[@tayfarms]

Thanks SO much! That makes sense about the flashers now that I think about it ☺️. Have a wonderful and safe weekend!

[@Badgerpapa]

Always tough to part with the friendly ones. I get to attached to our animals. Fun watching the old planter side markers drop, been years since I saw that. When you sprinkled the powder I could taste it, nasty stuff but we had to do that a couple times a year. If you have a large spice container, they often have a shaker opening you could maybe try. Hope you all stay safe and healthy Tay.

[@danl9334]

Thanks for another video, you youth and ambition and Brent's knowledge and experience truly make the perfect combination!!!!!!

[@prjndigo]

A foxtail hand broom makes a good dust doser and you can use it around the beams and boards as well.

[@craigmonty8343]

Good morning Tay, sorry for having to get rid of the cow I know it sucks. Putting lice powder on is a crappy job.🤦‍♂️ We need the ground to freeze up it’s muddy everywhere with this weather. Corn planter looks good. 😊Another great video 🤗

[@ryguy57106]

I’m excited for you too!!! Hope you can get your own farm someday

[@davidbarnes706]

I agree with the mask gloves and I would suggest that you wear goggles happy New Year to you and Brent

[@patrickbrazil1313]

Great job Taylor. 👏 you both are doing a great job. 👍 sorry to see one of the girls leaving but that's life on the farm. It's not and never easy to say goodbye to them gorgeous girls. Wishing you Brent and all your family and the girls a very Happy and safe fabulous 👌 new year. Regards from all here in Ireland 🇮🇪 pat Brazil.

[@garyrucker1071]

I hear u on that it been 20 years off the dairy farm but I can still remember number 63 she was awesome cow

[@travisbradley9458]

Again, another great video. You and Brent work so well together. Almost like reading each other's mind. That planter is cool. I haven't seen one like that in almost 70 years. You can tell I am older than dirt. Grew up in NY on a 300-acre farm. Had about 40 to 50 milkers. We kept about a third of all calves born. My uncle had almost all Holsteins. Had a couple of Jersey's mixed in. I loved the farm life. Have a Happy New Year. Stay safe this next year. God Bless

[@berniebuker1650]

Thanks for the video. You have got to be the fastest growing channel on KZbin. So impressed with your work ethic and farming knowledge. Crazy weather in Maine lately. Stay dry, have a good weekend.

[@tayfarms]

Thanks so much! 😀 Definitely some weird weather for winter! You have a wonderful weekend too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@alanpranke3299]

Done 😪, your word says it all. Still, give thanks for all the years. One reason we love stanchion barns is the contact and closeness we develop between human and animal. Work hard to maintain the efficiency of your business model because stanchion barn dairying has been economically painful for many (most?). Love your channel. 🥰

[@kelvingravel8699]

Thanks again for sharing another awesome video, great to see you hit 14k great job. Very well deserved as your videos are always great 👍. Always sad to see cow's leaving but they have had a wonderful life while with you. Think you are going to have a lot of fun with the planter thanks again hope you all have a awesome New year take care and stay safe 👍 😊.

[@NorthEastOhio]

I just subscribed. Loving your content so far

Awesome! Glad to hear it😀

[@pgadams1]

So sad. I feel your pain.

[@billkroczyk3749]

If your foot is on the brake on a Chevy the four ways don't flash only on a Ford that I know of I don't know about other vehicles

[@paulaagaard7641]

So sorry ❤ The main reason I never had livestock.😢

[@Badgerpapa]

Congrats on passing 14K subs!!!

[@tayfarms]

Thank you so much 😀😊😊😊

[@dennisbelles9236]

Taylor, if you have the 4 ways on while your on the brakes, they will not blink. But, if you let off the brake, as you did, they will operate. Because they are on the same circuit as the brake lights. Just some fun for you.

[@tayfarms]

Ahh, that makes sense!

[@tomotoole7241]

Taylor has the Brakes on the passenger seat 😂😂

[@hobertlee7598]

GOD BLESS YOU TAYLOR ALWAYS,GOOD VIDEO

[@billkroczyk3749]

Get yourself either a sifter or a colander for noodles from the dollar store they were great

[@BigMikeeeBam]

Another good video Taylor. Going back to older videos. Recently found channels. Tks ❤❤

[@brianhall9254]

Hi Taylor just wanted to tell you we had two of them planters over the years and if you need some plates for it let me no I have dozens of them

[@I_Am_Michael]

at 28:00 delivery of marshmallows. all ready to be cut up into bite sized pieces. awesome.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

When I was small on the farm I just loved creamed corn. I also ate too much one night and couldn't stand to look at it for months. Back in the 50's.

[@davemilton181]

That brings a tear to my eye

[@robertlusnia506]

Happy New Year Tay

[@Navajo-man]

Hi tag and Brent beautiful video new on you’re channel catching up with everything also Brent needs get his knees fixed if Doesn’t might get bad I truly you can handle everything by yourself cause I been watching you and as always you both be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@hotliks40]

Started tearing up when you mentioned they dont want to go...I have two jerseys..can't imagine making them leave..

[@1striperon]

I enjoy your videos every day, Taylor. Sometimes you speak so fast that I cannot keep up, like today, it just seemed you were speeding up in the first few minutes. Not a biggie.

[@markreetz1001]

Good Evening Tay!! Did get a chance to watch until evening! Sorry you had to get rid of that cow. Your feelings show that you care and treat the animals well. The thing to remind people of is they aren't pets. As a farmer--and a person--you're sad to see her go, but you have the whole herd to think of. Those chain links might handle easier if you held the with a pair of plyers or channel locks. It'll keep your fingers farther from the hammer! Corn planter is cool! good luck using it!!! Always enjoy your videos!

[@100Ronster]

Done 😢, it's always sad to see the friendly ones go.

[@russellsteele4404]

Great video Tay hard to see a good cow go but they have to make money happy new year to you stay safe 👍

[@paulcasefarms9933]

Hey Tay Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching you guys farm. I do a lot of the same things here in Oklahoma. Btw the flashers will not flash when you have your foot on the brake.

[@MichaelHolloway]

drill mechanical control system - neat! sorry about the penicillin immunity mastitis. I think they understand, do you always tell them - like you did her?

[@mariuszsujka2121]

Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱. Wszystkiego dobrego na nowy rok.

[@TheZepp01]

Hi Taylor, I hope you had a nice Xmas day with your family and friends? You dairy farmers doesn't stop on Xmas and New Years day, its just another day with maybe an extra long break. I have always wondered why you don't stack the round bales in plastic next too the palour on the left hand side on the nicely mowered grass, there would be closer to access. Doesnt Brett like to use the standard 'poor on' lice treatment and that's why you use the method of powder lice treatment. As a thought could buy a cheap metal seive to spread the powder on the girls back. I love that Neil is a Beltered Galway bull and if I was younger I would have them as my complete herd. I hope you enjoy New Years Eve and then get ready for the next challengers in 2024. Chris from Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.

Thanks so much and I wish u the same!!

[@franciscyr2471]

Morning Taylor, you could use an empty mayonnaise jar for a shaker to apply the lice killer. Just drill a few holes in the top, if you wanted to you could mark every couple ounces on the side.

[@marshallsayre58]

Hi Tay, We love watchn u&Brent on the videos show us what it takes to manage a dairy farm..its never easy, but you 2 make it look that way. I'm so glad we came across ur channel. We also watch "just a few acres", "10gen dairy farm", "Laura farm", "Kyla farm"&Geriock farm" so many diffrnt ways to raise cows. God bless, stay safe and enjoy some time of...PLEASE

Good morning Taylor farms are the key to good health across all aspects of the farm.

Your videos are the greatest. So down to earth and honest. Thank You. Have a Wonderful New Year 🎉

[@donnieperry3671]

Good morning. I love your videos!! I worked on a dairy farm for 8 years!

[@tayfarms]

That is awesome! I’m glad you enjoy watching along with us!

[@garymcdavidsr9702]

I hope you had a great Christmas and happy New Year and your boss Brent.

[@GaryHeald-uv5im]

Always tough to have to ship a cow, especially one you worked with for years. I always maintain that when you stop caring you should stop farming. The planter is cool, you could make some lids out plywood with some cleats to hold them in place. I'm sending you some planter info, keep a lookout. Always fun to do chores with you. Take care.

[@billkroczyk3749]

You are done you bought your first piece of equipment you are a farmer for life definitely for life now it's amazing feeling just owning a piece of equipment the first one is like no other feeling in the world wait until you buy your first tractor you will love it

[@davepyche3561]

Nice video. Keep yourself safe! Keep farming.

[@tayfarms]

Thank you, always! 🙂

[@terrykoch1250]

When you take your foot off the brake they will blink. At least there suppose to.

[@StanFinck]

Thanks Taylor, have a good one!!! Stan.

You too!

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LFfire1597]

Is that something you should be wearing a mask while doing?

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

Hopefully you were wearing one while you watched 😬

[@Leoforever79]

When I was younger. 34 years ago. I sold my first heifer before she freshened. Bambi was her name. She was the call a HoJo these days. One of the hardest things that I did or have done. May the hard things always be hard and may life always bring you joy. When it's not joyous. Sunshine when it's gloomy. ❤😊

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

Corn planner looks like its old school.

[@stevealcocer4862]

Thanks for the memories: sometimes if you are pushing the break peddle, the flashers will not blink. 😉

[@claymack1109]

Hello Taylor i hope you had a nice Christmas. Im sorry you're feeling sad that lilly has to go. Do you guys cover your cornmeal when you leave out?

[@robertdouglas4130]

It is sad to have to say goodbye to a cow but definitely the right thing to do.

[@mikkotoikka3188]

Some tears for cow. But thats life and not bad.

[@uxbridgelibraryfriends8635]

Hi Taylor, the video of that cow leaving the herd was pretty sad to watch. I know it's part of life on the farm, and unavoidable. If it's any consolation, at least you know she received the best of care throughout her life because of your efforts. That's all one can ask.

[@taggunter975]

Awesome job

[@tayfarms]

Thank you!

[@br927]

They poop because they're nervous, it's a reaction! A Horse will do the same thing! I never got attached to my cows! I'd tell them I could put them on the next truck that came along! I took good care of them, and spoiled them, but I could send one down the road too!

[@user-qh1dk3fh5q]

Nice video!

[@tayfarms]

Thanks!

[@markschwab7829]

Another great video I agree with some other people wearing gloves and a mask would be very beneficial and I remember having to sell cows that were no longer profitable to the farm some are harder to sell than others but I get it.

It is hard to see a good cow go. Country View Acres had a video this week where Evan was working on fence posts. His Jersey heifer is the biggest pet like a gigantic puppy. weird that lice are a winter issue.

[@davidlauman760]

tay your truck might need a flasher some vehicles have two one for 4ways and one for turn signals not usually hard to find and change just grab one and feel it with it turned on might be in fuse panel

[@david19659]

Question do your cows calf in the tie stall barn? If so what happens if someone is not around. Does the calf just lay in the manure gutter without the mother being able to clean it off or feed it? Just wondering

We have a gated off pen that close cows can be moved to.

Sorry about your cow. By the way, buy a large bottle of parmeson cheese. Use all the parmeson out of it and one side has a shaker with large holes that will work for your powder.

Hate to see animals having to be sold...but that's part of farming. Never any shortage of barn work and miscellaneous work around your dairy. Working on your IH 56 planter should give you visions of warmer weather to come in Spring planting season. Reminded me of a winter job to replace seed opener and covering disks on our "new-to-us" Case IH planter.
