Hauling Calf Pen Manure/Grinding Ear Corn

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Pitching those pens is one of the first "heavier duty" I did back in my early youth. I suspect that's par for all of us as kids on a dairy farm. Good job guys!!

[@dlzastera]

That little guy driving the tractor sure looked proud doing his task.😊

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Good jobs, everyone!

[@danmcgowan8563]

Be proud of your kids they are learning life lessons every day and hopefully at least one will want to take over the farm someday. Great video. winter has been good here in Minnesota. It's very dry and we really need this snow that's coming. Thanks for sharing!

[@ralphfusco8888]

In a world of turmoil its refreshing to see family working together for the greater good keep the faith

[@markflick1641]

I grew up with a fork in my hands ,builds character . Nice seeing Justin grow into his responsibilities . Great video Al .

[@alexwhitaker5144]

It was always a nice reward getting to haul the manure after pitching the spreader full.

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ OOOOOOOOOOH YES WE ENJOYED IT 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@KentEskam]

That's brutal filling the spreader with a hay fork and a wheel barrow!

[@trinitydairy]

Loaded many loads that way!

[@alanpranke3299]

Had to love = 'Boys are filling it up'. Growing up on the farm, we learned how to run a fork before a tractor.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Your boys are growing up, cleaning the calf pens out and then driving the tractor and manure spreader. Take care and God bless.

[@mikebrown1188]

Most farm kids pitch manure like that. How many did it with such a great attitude..Al and Jen yiu have some hard working kids. 💪

[@redcountry2241]

That's a good-sized tractor for him

[@robertwhitfield8462]

Kids are doing a great job

[@ADSC2006]

Unusually warm temps this winter.

[@johnnypurkey7545]

Kids are having a ball sounds wonderful 👍

[@eeengineer8851]

Yes, reminds me of my Dad and I forking out the calf pens in the barn. At least we didn't need to use a wheel barrow and fork it 2x ! Park the spreader by one of the doors and it went in direct. Dad taught me to wet my gloves in the drinking cups so to get a better grip on the fork handle and less likely to get blisters. We had a Minnesota spreader similar to yours but it was a larger 160 bushel. If I could go back in time 40yrs ago, one picture I would want to have taken would be me and my Dad standing next to a full spreader by the barn with our boots on and holding our forks, haha. Also shoveled a lot of ear corn in the Gehl feed mill.

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

I had a Minnesota 160 bu spreader also. I bought it new from Opole Impl in 1982 $1600

[@ryanbachman9227]

Good job kids. Go to show how hard of workers you are and you have a heart for farming. God bless

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Thanks for sharing, Alan. Nice to see another nice video....always enjoy them, also enjoy the kids helping up.

[@daleberghorn6504]

Remember them days cleaning out calves puts muscle on the kids like your videos

[@bodiehot]

enjoy watching your kids work

[@dougpeterson5257]

Brings back memories of my brother and I cleaning out our barn, can't say my attitude was always as good as your boys appears to be. I was the oldest so was expected to do a larger portion. Definitely good for building muscle and character.

Great video as always and it's always good seeing the kids out working with you as well. Have a great year and God bless

[@mennoreuten1563]

My kids used to do that also now there grown up and quess who is doing it now, greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

There's nothing like forking 💩 build character and bodies! Great video, and really nice that you have your family directly involved in how you live. Young people who only know that parents go to work 8 hours a day don't appreciate or understand things farm kids get early on.👍👍

[@ronniewayne5748]

Definitely enjoyed the video.Excellent done.

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@FreeloaderFarms]

Great video! I got twin Guernsey bull calves a couple weeks ago from a neighbor and just got a jersey bull calf from a different farm on Monday. First time I've had Guernseys but they're doing good!

[@adamkonopko3580]

Good work 👍

[@grantpowers]

I don’t have cattle,, just chickens,,, but I do have a old spreader I’ve rebuilt, painted and I use it for yard work and chiken coup

[@dalehellenbrand357]

U guys need some more John Deere Tractor's

[@jamesbristow5740]

I was always jealous of my cousins that got to grow up on my uncle's dairy in Delaware co. ny. Always work to be done around the farm.

[@thomasyoung1914]

It's about time you made a video

[@trinitydairy]

We've been sick for over two weeks, so that stopped the videos for a little while.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Allen, Jen, Family, I hope ya'll are doing well, Always good to see the Family helping out with chores, doing their part, our parents were exactly the same way, we all had our chores to do, it keeps our Family close, and teaches us to work together to get the jobs done safely and on time, builds character, and brings the Family closer together, I remember a neighbor commenting once when i was about 11/12 years old, and my Friend's Dad said he'd never seen kids on any farm, work so hard, i remember thinking to myself, what a strange thing for an adult to say ?? I never once thought we were being worked to hard, I loved working hard on our Family Farm, helping my parents raise our beef, horses, grow our own feed, that was living, and 5th generation later, still is living, oh by the way Allen, Jen, i just received my my second shirt and hat yesterday, of all the Farm shirts, hats, toques, Trinity Dairy is the one I get asked most about, Thank you, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@trinitydairy]

Thank you, and God bless!

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

6:18............."it slid good in the wagon"" THAT ,to me, was a good test if cob corn is dry.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Tks for sharing. Seeing calf pens cleaning brings back memories. It's good to see your young men taking on a job and seeing it though. How's Demi doing? Jessica working her 4H things? You just feed straight corn gain? Or do you mix a dairy concentrate with a protein with it?

[@trinitydairy]

Demi is doing great! Jessica and Justin have been busy with 4H stuff. We feed a grain mix.

[@marklen2322]

You should run that spreader before you fill it just to make sure it is not frozen down.

[@trinitydairy]

I did, just didn't have it on video.

[@marklen2322]

It didn't look like the chain moved any snow in the spreader that is why I mentioned it

[@Ironvalleylarry]

When the web breaks it no fun hand pitching it off. Been there done that.

[@cedricgates9976]

ah pen pack did not take long for m to figure out i did not like that and i had to do something different so they went away, boys are doing good with the jd that will be there tractor now will be big help to you now

[@burtzorn4059]

Are the dairy cows worth having anymore ??? Good young men you are raising. Take care and stay safe.

[@trinitydairy]

You definitely better not be in it to get rich. We do enjoy being able to raise the kids with the cows and Jen is at home with the kids, so that makes it worth it for us.

[@markklumpp39]

Pitching box stalls by hand was the worst

How did you turn your exhaust up on your little John Deere? I have a 1530 with an under slung exhaust that l hate when hooking equipment up. I can’t find a suitable elbow to turn mine.

My grandpa made a curve out of regular pipe, and just welded it to the flange.

@@trinitydairy I was going to buy a manifold and run it through the hood but with my luck I would break a bolt and have more trouble. Thanks for your suggestion.

What number is your John Deere. I had a 2030 when I was milking. It was 65 horse if I remember right.

[@JimHerman-o3q]

If this is the same spreader that you stated the beater teeth were sharp ?? And clean ?? It could use some serious help / work ! Just saying !

[@trinitydairy]

The beaters are fine, I actually have taken the angle grinder and sharpened the teeth, they do have a few pieces of twine on them, but not bad. A bigger issue with that spreader is that the apron is only one speed, and it as a lot faster than I would like for pen pack manure, especially with this manure, because it wasn't straw, it was long bedding hay.
