You haven’t seen this one yet

[@mikejankoviak8542]

I'm 36. I have lived/worked on farms my whole life until this past April. I now work at a construction company. The benefits are really good but there's alot of days I miss farming. That's why I enjoy each and every video you do

[@JeffClark-rc1tf]

Hell of a tractor driver. I didn’t see the first cow with tire tracks on its nose!!!😂😂

[@pbr549]

He makes it look like there's no effort.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

It's great too see cow feeding. It's just part of the day I miss of my younger days of Farming. Thank you.

[@jayheiman7388]

Andy always good to see a refresher of your morning routine. The project videos are nice as well.

[@johnc8112]

It's been awhile since we seen you feed the cows. Another great video keep up the awesome work you do with your family and crews.

[@jackthewisedog5171]

great video and nice piece of reversing past that guy doing the celings

[@pbr549]

Andy, I learn something from almost all your video's. Refusal Feed... My first thought it was rejected feed however it appears you have to overfeed the cows so they produce maximum milk. It also talked about pH balance in the rumen which appears to be the first stomach in a cow. Most interesting... Take care

[@process-stories]

You’re creating magic with these videos! Keep it up, I’ll be supporting all the way!

[@johnd4018]

Nice to see a clean, well lit, well-maintained freestall. Not every farm looks like this. A pleasure to see.

[@curtislewis5437]

You guys do more before 8 am. than most people do all day!

[@MainlyboysoutdoorJournal]

That's what happens when you have a dairy farm.

[@joegotz1971]

On another video a city slicker said farming was easy because of modern equipment and GPS. I told him to watch your KZbin channel to see how easy farming is. My grandfather was a farmer and his brother (Uncle Felix) was a dairy farmer. I would go the dairy farm in the winter during Christmas break for a week. It was a 40 minute drive to Uncle Felix’s place, we would get there around 8:00 and get home by 6:30. I was never so tired in my life when we got home and I was happy to go back to school. I believe I was about 11 years old then. Uncle Felix had an accident near the silo unloading a wagon into the hopper which shot the corn into the top of the silo. His overalls got stuck in the PTO shaft. he was rushed to the hospital but passed the next morning. “farming is easy” BS, try being a dairy farmer. And by the way the cows do not take the weekends off. Every day, twice a day.

[@gavinperry7237]

Your skills at backing up past the blower machine for insulation is most likely better than some people’s skills at driving forward !

[@mfreund15448]

Many hours of practice!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Gotta love the "Milk" life! You have done a day's work before the construction crew starts a "days" work, and I am not critical of them at all. And you finish up long after they have left. Great looking herd, the good management shows. I have a thousand questions about your operation, but I will settle for just watching your videos, and eventually get some answered.👍👍

[@kevinaustin8105]

Thanks for the ride ago young man. I always enjoy watching you feed. Everyone in Northeast Arkansas says hey 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️👍👍🙏🐄🚜🚜🚜

[@PatrickKraemer5]

Your animals are in real good condition. The quality of your feed shows!

[@josephbrinkley7572]

Brings back good memories. Thanks andy😊

[@corinschick8172]

Great video Andy. Very informative. Thanks

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

I'm going to appreciate that glass of Milk i have in the morning a lot more Thanks Andy 😊😊😊

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Hi Andy . Can’t help wonder does your calves not just wander off around the farm seeing there in open huts 🤔🤗.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No, they like it too much where they are at

[@philglover2973]

Thanks again Andy for your time and consideration top job top team awesome 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Been a while since i saw how big your farm is. Certainly is impressive. Glad to see where the milk I buy comes from. On a side note, I really enjoy the Tom Pemberton channel from the UK with their family dairy and butcher shop. Like to think they have a decent sized farm but your several levels or more up from them. Are you aware of any beef farms that sell directly to the consumer in the CNY area. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@shawnmartin1584]

Bright eyed and bushy tailed.. Hey Andy you do SOOOO much more to get us couch potatoes a better Indication of how much you do.. Love you're work ethic... I just cant say enough. Youre my first watch When i get on... you need a hat with a camera base built in.. and a Gimble control on youre wrist...!! Thank you Andy.. you're the best Channel provider out there... Shawn Oregon..

[@JohnathanBruner-t2d]

The 59.5 is a lot of (hay)... Money... Fascinating. I grew up on a hand milking Michigan dairy farm earlier in my life. We had a well house and put the milk cans in a cold water cement box. I wasn't sad to see the cows go. Although it's easy to be attached. I liked the crop farming. Godspeed.

[@timkrager4397]

Another great video Andy… you talked about putting baled hay into the mixer wagons…I guess I must of miss something because I don’t remember seeing any videos of baling dry hay…on a side note, yesterday Tuesday September 24, we got 10 inches of rain…most that I have every seen in one day here in west Michigan.

[@MrJujubean]

Andy you must be one of those rare people that doesn't require any sleep

[@tolipydob]

Thanks again Andy. Amazing what is involved for me to enjoy milk, butter, and ICE CREAM!!!!! :-)

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Great videos Andy!! Always love to see the lady money makers. Brings back many memories, albeit much much simpler times 60 years ago. Thanks for all you do. Jim.

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Andy awesome operation. Any possible way you could video how the calves are feed. This is impressive have a great day.

[@markreetz1001]

Been a while since you've had a mixing and feeding video. Thanks Andy!

[@noelhohberger1188]

Do you guys have a vet on the farm all the time?

[@joshverburg6995]

NICE technique with the Pinky dumping the Tinky!! Never thought of that but didn’t run a lot of Tink buckets either.

[@jimpolk]

Andy, couple questions if I may. 1) how much coffee do you drink in a day. 2) has anyone ever hit a cow when feeding?

[@chrisfarmsllc1224]

Andy is very good at addition and backing up trailers too. No calculator there and no back up camera. Soon your gana need second person to help feed.

[@allanvilleneuve6709]

When you get the cows into the new barn, will it make feeding them any easier? It seems you split the feeding into different groups, during the Distibution of the delivery. Just wondering.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No it won’t

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Enjoyed the ride along watching and learning,😊

[@Aaron_S]

Thanks for the NEW video! Cheers!

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

I know you don’t show the current parlor, I hope we at least get a peak at the new one in use.

[@chuckychuck]

👍👍👍👍THANKS FOR MAKING A VIDEO.

[@thelegendairyfarmer]

Nice looking cows.....what sires are you using and are you using any polled ?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Holstein

[@jeffreyneihart1614]

Andy do the mixes for the different cows vary to much that you can't use a bigger mixer wagon? With the new barn will you be getting another mixer wagon? Keep the videos coming always great content! About how many pounds of feed does a normal cow eat a day? Also is it the way your barns are configured that your cows stay so clean? Thanks Andy? Where's Charlie been??

[@scottkrieger6386]

Stay safe keep on truckin sir, question do u ever not want to get up when the alarm goes of, in bed by 8-9pm roughly depending on what's being harvested then back outside loading feed by 3:30am.

[@hoss1905]

Good job backing up 😊😊😊

[@rayz5508]

What do you think about the robot feeding systems? See a lot of dairy farms installing them. Not sure if it's good for a large operation like yours.

[@randybennett5417]

Wow, you might need three mixer wagons going soon.

[@abbiejones4222]

Cows look well Andy credit to you . I was brought up on a Dairy farm in the UK and know abit about the job. .Do you feed them in the milking parlor? At all . I would love to come and have a look one day .

[@stanleyburke1155]

How do you monitor your cow's health? Do you have someone that just dose or what?

[@kevinkevlar8050]

Andy how many people does it to take to run this operation?

[@brian7327]

By cleaning your barn daily does that help with your somatic cell count and do you do your own AI or have a breeder coming in just curious was raised on dairy and we fought our somatic cell count all the time

[@jimhancock5047]

When do you sleep? Busy man in ag!

[@cliffordarnoldussen]

Do you feed once a day or two times a day?

[@rongrose3746]

You definitely feed your girls well !!

[@waynepenner4552]

Nice to see some color in the hurd

[@philrogers8160]

My birthday. How often are rations adjusted?? When I worked at the Cornell T& R farm (in the 90's) we mixed minerals in 5 gal buckets with tags to identify what mix we had. Do you use something similar?? Do you mix and feed cows everyday or is there another employee that mixes feed when you are unavailable.

[@martinboilard2265]

Good morning Mr.Big Daddy Hourigan ! you have so many breakfast to do for all those lady every morning. Big Daddy for you it is the right world. i love watching feeding whit Mr.Big Daddy Hourigan. Thanks for your time early at the morning like that and have beautiful day at the farm Mr.BigDaddy ! 🙋‍♂️

[@craigmay8888]

Now that you've had that bucket a while. How do you like it compared to your old one

[@georgesheffer354]

What's the difference between conventional an the bmr silage

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Lignin content (fiber) is lower in BMR corn, so it's more digestible.

[@kaldudas9651]

Missed your videos we see we’re Alex gets her backup skills 👍🚜

[@paulpeters5199]

Dumb question for as many cows you guys have do you milk around the clock or is there breaks in between

[@robertingram289]

do you mix any loads for the next day or would that go bad, just to get ahead

[@VideosByAl]

I thought that "W" company band you from showing your healthy well cared for cows.

[@joostherwijnen8301]

Nice red holstein at 10.47👍

[@rogerburkholder7524]

I'm curious why you back out of the barns instead of exiting forward.

[@1daleym]

Hi Andy, Do you feed the cows everyday your self?

[@roba4297]

Impressive to say the very least !!!

[@stephensteen9058]

Thats a good job done andy

[@ronaldradtke8577]

No breakfast after feeding the girlz ??? Great video !!! Would it be easier with a feeder on a truck ???

[@MainlyboysoutdoorJournal]

Andy just wondering do the cow's ever get pregnant with bull Calfs if so what do you do with the Bull Calfs?

[@williams4645]

Now we see why you have to work so hard growing crop to feed that much every day! 250,000 lb or more every day?

[@jarrodwemhoff7270]

My luck I’d wipe a bunch of shit out in the new barn and have heifers running around.😂

[@ivankillins8407]

I like all those Holstein cows

[@leighshortslef8703]

Do you feed the heard once a day or twice a day?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Heifers and dry cows once a day and we top off the feed to milk cows in the afternoon

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

No rerun today boyee!

[@dhoop688]

Haven't needed an alarm for years

[@Will-h4i6l]

Hey Andy does you're payloader have built in scales on it?

[@colinkennedy8730]

I believe the mixing trailers all have scales so Andy has a recipe for the mix on his clip board on his right hand side of the loader ,hope this helps

[@nickrandol9133]

Scales are on the mixing wagons.

[@Will-h4i6l]

I've worked on a farm an fed cows with mixer wagon. Now I drive dump truck at a quarry getting loaded the loader has scales built into it. Just wondering if his did.

[@johnnymurphy7779]

keep up the good work Andy

[@jameskelley8839]

Can you set an A or B line through the barn?

[@JonDingle]

A lot of hungry mouths to feed there young man, breakfast is quite a busy time!

[@paulm5383]

Hi Andy You are a handy man Can you make a throttle on the mudguard of the tractor? You are climb so many times in the cabin

[@404nitro]

Hw many bulls are used to breed your cows and where are those bulls located? Another farm?

[@IndustrialFirefighter]

It's artificial... most farms today used sexed semen as well. It controls the herd size and replacements.

[@lynwessel2471]

I assume they use artificial insemination like most dairies.

[@MainlyboysoutdoorJournal]

@farmingfixingandfadricating Andy there's a dairy farm here in Maine that was milking 1500 cow's I was talking to one of the guys that works for them hauling silage I asked him how many they were milking now and he said that they are up to 2,350 cows now so they are in Competition with you guy's out there in new York.

[@holadihokappa9886]

How many gallons of fuel are the tractors burning in front of the mixer wagons every day ?😅

[@shaunfeyereisen2183]

Ever thought of a triple screw mixer yet or is that too big

[@dhoop688]

Yeah so Andy. I'm wide awake at 230am every morning. Guess it's an old school dairy kid thing. You too?

[@glenntaylorjr6829]

What time do you start your day ?

[@geoffrohrer7807]

Will you have a open house after the new parlor is running smoothly?

[@135tp]

do you ever get dogs or coyotes attacking the calves?

[@MichaSkolimowski-be2nh]

🤯jak oni odnajdują się w tylu krowach i dojeniu ich . Szacunek dla wszystkich 👏👏👏🤜🇵🇱

[@JGibson49]

Where were all those heifers before you put them in the new barn?

[@danielthomas3207]

Andy, I see cows, heifers and calves. Never seen any bulls. Do you AI your Heifers?

[@jackholbrook4369]

I have a question why don't you ever show the process of milking

[@chrisfarmsllc1224]

The processor does not allow it.

[@mfreund15448]

Too many people complain about animal abuse.

[@shawnmartin1584]

Prolly cause he has enough cows even the milkers are going by like a picket fence when you're driving...

[@johnhatt1219]

Milk truck still there

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Different truck. We get picked up 4 times a day

[@8DeereFarm]

​@FarmingFixingFabricating do you guys have a bulk tank, or just hook directly to the trailers and keep swapping them out?

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Silo

[@mikeoreilly6795]

What are the tires hanging over the hutches for? Awesome content thanks for sharing 👍

[@chrisfarmsllc1224]

Keep from blowing over

[@kristopherlizmieir]

do you people ever sleep

[@edcrego8487]

Hay Andy everything ok you haven't posted much lately lm sure your really busy but nice to hear from you

[@thelunatick1993]

Time to make the doughnuts. Are you normally the predawn guy? Am assuming the size of this operation and number of people involved. That you have some sort of shifts and rotation.

[@lindapereboom]

Andy and his brother take turns on a schedule. I know Jared sometimes comes in at 6:00 or so to help finish. As I understand only Andy or his brother mix feed to ensure that process stays consistent

[@ronniejenkins4633]

I enjoyed the video, I haven't seen you feeding for a while, I was wondering if you have ever hit a cow stretching out her head just a bit too far, again I enjoyed the video.

[@jamesbemis3755]

How many cows do you guys milk

[@Robb2000af]

He said on one of his barn updates, I believe somewhere around 2500 cows.

[@randybennett5417]

When do you cut off the strings from the bales of hay ?

[@colinkennedy8730]

I don’t think they have bales of hay ,the baling we have seen being done has been wheat straw for bedding the cows i believe

[@colinkennedy8730]

Got that wrong a lol

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

They get cut after they get placed

[@JeffClark-rc1tf]

Hell of a tractor driver. I didn’t see the first cow with tire tracks on its nose!!!😂😂

[@stevemiller6409]

Nice looking looking cows 🐄
