I’m retired and 70. My mother’s family were farmers as I grew up, but she married and moved to the city. Can’t help but think how much I would have enjoyed being a farmer. As of today, only one of my cousins still has a presence in crop farming. God Bless you and your family. Your testimony rings loud and clear!
Same here. Stopped in a little cafe in farmland North Dakota. It was packed and quiet. No politics, just farm and equipment talk. It was like the rest of the world didn't exist. Loved it. Actually marveled at all of them. They had never heard of the Kardashians..
I could have an entire truck load of plumbing parts sitting in the yard and I still always be that one part short to finish a job. Glad to see I'm not alone. Great video.
One of the most beautiful healthy and happy Holstein herds you will ever see. Eric you know i speak cow so i know how happy they are. I overhear them discussing their love and appreciation for you and your dad often!! What a great job and service y'all do for our beloved America.. Thank you !!
I am always impressed by how handy you and your dad are for fixing, repairing, installing so much that needs to be done without having to call various plumbers, electricians, welders, etc. to come do the job for you. And it is always helpful to have some extra (Craftsman) light available on the job. Thank you for all you are doing on the vids to show what is involved in dairy farming. May the Lord continue to bless you with good health and helpers.
It's real nice to see young people taking interest and getting involved with farming. Us older folks are usually happy for the chance to share our knowledge and appreciate the help. Great video, all your herd looks good and are getting the best from y'all to produce well and stay healthy. Thanks for sharing, have a great week!
You are very at ease running the day to day operation. There's never any time off unless you leave the farm for a mission trip or vacation. It's truly a pleasure to watch you, your dad, and the people that help you, care for the cow's the way you do. Stay safe.
Eric, I think it truly is great when manufacturers provide alternative solutions to help out. The brush cup seems interesting. Hope you will let us know whether or not it was a working solution, or just a cute, do not get again product. Great having friends to help out. Hope your Dad has safe trip.
Eric man one day you will be the one taking the vacation and your kid the 11th gen will be doing the same thing you just did great video man you are a definite boss man God bless and stay warm
You do a great job taking care of your cows. You must enjoy it because you never seem to be bored with it. Makes me wish I was able to come work with you for a week. But I would be more of a hindrance than a help.
Another informative video Eric. How great that your dad can leave to serve others for a week & know that he can entrust you with the Farm (business) & all will be good when he’s back. You’ve got a great work ethic Eric. I notice often as you did in this video, that you don’t assign all the manual labour to the hired hands. You take your turn too. Fonzie(sp) drove, you ran the shovel. Take care
Love your videos my uncle has a nice dairy and I live on a dairy that used to be my grandpa‘s and we still have cows but it would be very cool to make it a dairy again and it’s always fun watching what I could learn from you
We have the same pump thats inside your foaming unit, in our door entry floor foamers at work. We are forever replacing them because they constantly fail, hopefully you have better luck with them than we do. Love the videos!
Great camera stuff. Look after your family. You do anyway. I'd love to work for you lot. Pity I'm in the UK, but don't matter anyway. If I was over there, I'd work for you lot for nothing. 👍🏻 All the best.
Thanks for the nice videos. If the second foamer runs a longer distance, goes through more hose than the first it will have slower output. One way to solve this is to run the mixture through a loop or circle. Then have each output (dipper) the same distance from the loop. Thanks again. Also, I think you probably have some of those brushes the cows can use to groom themselves. Video of the cows doing their self care might be fun to watch. Cheerio
Great vid Eric...your dad will owe you two bottles of chocolate milk when he gets back...you're doin' such a fine job! And kudos to him for helping his fellow man(women too)... Ya' ll are great people and dairy farmers! Thank you for milkin', feedin' and fixin'!🍶🍨🍦🐄🐄🐄🐃🐄🐄🐄🐂🚜🤠
I wonder if I'm the only one who waves goodbye to the cows that are being sold? No one...just me...ok. LOL Hope you guys stay safe with the storm coming!
how we know eric is a true farmer, the leather sheath for his vise grip worn on his belt, never known a farmer that couldn't fix thing with bailing wire and a pair of vice grips
Eric you and your dad have one of the cleanest dairies I have ever seen around and it seems like you never have any problems moving cows and heifers from bldg to bldg at all. Do you use anything in your pits to make them more liquidity. How many calves do you usually get a month ? So you sell all your bull calves but do you put all your heifer calves in a pool and take out when needed and then sell the rest. That's kinda like what we did when raising gilts as we had a pool of 100 - 150 had to pick from than we sold what was left after a 2 month period and then start all over. Cuz we introduced gilts 6 x a year. After a pig is process cut tails and teeth and iron shot and we would notch there ears on the gilts or put a small round tag. And the baby male pigs we would castrate from couple hours born up to a day old as it isn't so hard on them. I used a pair of wire cutters and only make one hole. My son who was 3 would help me catch them so it went alot faster and I paid him for helping me and he bought a mustang 2 years before he got his temporary license.
Ever think about Lely milking robots in your barn? They would fit perfectly in your barn and with the amount of cows you are milking. Save a lot on labor cost and you will probably gain in milk production. I’m a Lely technician in The Netherlands, where the Lely robots are all invented. Would love to hear your thoughts.
All that work has to b done every day of the year year in year out sundays Christmas day New years it's a hard life I did it for 40 yrs great video as always 😎
Is their away to block the snow from blowing in from roof top like shutters during winter time and opened during spring , summer , fall closed up during winter but leave the doors up about about two inches to have air blow in.
Over a year ago, The Veggie Boys got some caves from 10th Gen. I watch their videos too, but they don't seem to be getting caves from 10th Gen. It would be cool to see a cross-over video of the 2 farms.
I don't know if you have done a full video of the complete milk collecting process because I am sort of a newish follower but would you mind making a video of that?
I hope I get the math right. lol Assume average cow’s life in milk is 5 years, and starts milking at 2 years. Means she is seven when her milking days are over. It also means you need a 2 year-old to replace her. A cow calves every year, so she will have 6 calves before she is shipped, 50-50 males and females. But you only need one of those 3 females to replace her. Now if I was a smart young farmer trying to start and/or expand a herd, knowing how good your herd is, I would knock on your door for those 2 surplus females. Even if you keep all the calves from the top 20% of the herd, I’ve still purchased profitable calves.

@@thereissomecoolstuff Farmers ( especially dairy ) are way too busy and tired to worry or care about the Kardashians and their nonsense.

Nice Comment Larry. I agree their herd is very robust.
Brings back a lot of memories for me as I milked cows as a teenager! Always enjoy your videos Eric! Thanks for sharing! 💯 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Moo 2 Yoo Too!!!

With your Dad away doing good things and your workload increased…. you still took time to post a video. Know that it is much appreciated by many! 🙏🇺🇸👍
A Monday morning video released on Saturday. Time-traveller 10th Gen, confirmed.
You are very at ease running the day to day operation. There's never any time off unless you leave the farm for a mission trip or vacation. It's truly a pleasure to watch you, your dad, and the people that help you, care for the cow's the way you do. Stay safe.
One of my daughters gave me a 10th gen gray cap for Christmas. I love it.
Your dad's lucky to have someone capable like you to take over.
God bless our dairy farmers!!! We are so thankful for your family and how hard you all work and how good you treat your cows!! Much appreciated!!!!!
Eric, I think it truly is great when manufacturers provide alternative solutions to help out. The brush cup seems interesting. Hope you will let us know whether or not it was a working solution, or just a cute, do not get again product. Great having friends to help out. Hope your Dad has safe trip.
Eric man one day you will be the one taking the vacation and your kid the 11th gen
will be doing the same thing you just did great video man you are a definite boss man God bless and stay warm
You do a great job taking care of your cows. You must enjoy it because you never seem to be bored with it. Makes me wish I was able to come work with you for a week. But I would be more of a hindrance than a help.
Just want to thank you and all the other dary farmers for all the work you do for us the consumer of your products.Much Thanks 👍
You are disciplined and hardworking. greetings from Turkey👍🏻
Farmers and ranchers are heroes.
You do a great job of narrating your plans and thoughts. Editing well done to minimize slow portions !

I think its safe to say that when your dad goes to retire the farm is in good hands your a great worker
I absolutely love the time and attention you and your family give to the church and to Gods work! Much love and many Blessings to y'all!
Got to admit, you make me want to be a dairyman but it's too much work for an old man, I'll leave it for you and your family. Excellent job!
I know at least one person that's going to be happy to see Dad come home!
The hardest working guy on RUclips.
You are a good worker. Keep it up.
Well done! Industry needs more videos like this!
Great work to cover for your Dad! Enjoy watching
Nice soft beds for the cows 🐄. Always good to see new things
Another great video Eric. I hope all the viewers appreciate all the extra work you put in to provide these high-quality videos!
Love your videos my uncle has a nice dairy and I live on a dairy that used to be my grandpa‘s and we still have cows but it would be very cool to make it a dairy again and it’s always fun watching what I could learn from you

Love the videos!
Awesome cows. You, Dad, and employees do a wonderful job. God Bless
5 to 5:30. Good hours! Thanks for sharing with us!
Flexzilla hoses have been great for me. They stay very flexible through harsh (Ohio) winters. I use them for both water hose and air hose.
Great camera stuff. Look after your family. You do anyway.
I'd love to work for you lot. Pity I'm in the UK, but don't matter anyway. If I was over there, I'd work for you lot for nothing. 👍🏻 All the best.
Great job taking care of the farm while your dads away!
If I were a milk cow this is the place id hope to be.
Merch needs to include a cow 482 "first to be milked" shirt or something. That cow is special.
Boy you work hard, Great video 🇬🇧
Thanks for the nice videos.

Nice video it’s interesting watching different jobs of farming
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
I'm not sure what you wear to keep warm but I'm a firm believer in the functionality of Cold Gear Under Armor.
Great vid Eric...your dad will owe you two bottles of chocolate milk when he gets back...you're doin' such a fine job! And kudos to him for helping his fellow man(women too)... Ya' ll are great people and dairy farmers! Thank you for milkin', feedin' and fixin'!🍶🍨🍦🐄🐄🐄🐃🐄🐄🐄🐂🚜🤠

You’re right, but don’t forget the duct tape and chewing gum. 😆
Thanks for another awesome video and yea thank you for all you do for your community god bless
Been using the classic quick shot dip for 4 years, with really good results. It definitely is good for cracked hands also I've found 👍
Love watching your videos
Eric new pre-dip looks good job 👍
🤙🤙👍👍
Thanks for making these videos
Always nice to see what you're doing thank you
A very busy and varied day!
Very good video thanks 🙋♀️😊

I have considered it, if we had more trouble finding employees we would probably put them in. Our setup is working pretty good for now.
All that work has to b done every day of the year year in year out sundays Christmas day New years it's a hard life I did it for 40 yrs great video as always 😎
Good Morning,Ed from Vermont,use to work on area farms for over 35 years,i like your vids
Great job keep it up
Like the quick work on the new dipping controller and wand(s)! Hopefully much better for you!
Another great video 10gen. Meagan seems like a great employee.
Great awesome video Eric
You the man, Thrifty!
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC
Boy those half breed heifers are looking really great!!
Love the vids! Are y’all seeing the crazy hike in price/limited availability on fertilizer and chemical up north?
Thanks, yeah trying to figure out how to get more value out of manure so we can buy less uan.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 i understand! Sounds like a smart plan!
using manure spreaders and liquid manure to fertilize the fields is a great option, it helps a lot
Is their away to block the snow from blowing in from roof top like shutters during winter time and opened during spring , summer , fall closed up during winter but leave the doors up about about two inches to have air blow in.
Used to do it with cattle all the time never once hurt them it’s actually better to pre clean then to have something cause an infection
The exact thing happened with our pump too a couple weeks ago
great video's i agree sometimes this new tec is not always the best way to go
I bet y’all are getting a big snow this weekend. Stay safe everyone!
It looks like the new dippers are working well.
Nice video Eric! Love it! Love the parlor and the way its set up!
... Cheers...
Show us what you eat for lunch or breakfast!!!
What you do my friend is remarkable...
Hello all you beautiful cows ✨😊✨
6:16 good ol' vitamin D
Ur v good Eric at farming
Over a year ago, The Veggie Boys got some caves from 10th Gen. I watch their videos too, but they don't seem to be getting caves from 10th Gen. It would be cool to see a cross-over video of the 2 farms.
Calves?
I just realized that I saw the thumbnail for this and thought to myself "Oh boy, he's got a new pre dip foamer! Better check it out." How sad is that?
👍 not sad, but anything is better than televised programming!
Awesome video.
Good job
Hi Eric 👋 I'm from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿
How was your breakfast? What did you have? Your good at filming and you are my number 1 best RUclipsr. Your the best mate
Good bless your family and you
I would love to be able to come out there and just help you out for a day but really I would love to experience it for my self 😊
I don't know if you have done a full video of the complete milk collecting process because I am sort of a newish follower but would you mind making a video of that?
الثلوج ❤️😍
love from india 🇮🇳♥️
Can you talk about in a video how the shavings bucket works?
Good
Great stuff Eric u got to be a bit of a veterinarian also👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Average cows life 5 years but some cows in diary they live 10 years above than that. But it depends on cows.
Nice video mate

I keep missing breakfast. When do we see that footage?
