Grew up working on the neighbors dairy farm in Maryland and it looks and operates so much like yours sometimes it's like I am watching myself 45 years ago. I sure miss farming. Sure glad I can live vicariously through your videos. God Bless
Glad we could bring back memories for you! God Bless!
I think this series of videos helps give people, who've never worked/lived, on a farm a great understanding just how much work is involved in running a farm. There is always work to be done on a farm and many times it's a thankless job.
I think that you brothers working well together reflects on how you were raised. So I guess hats off to your mom and dad. Great to see family working together.
Thank you Kevin!
I'm 69, watching this video reminds me of the kind of place our Country was back in the 50,s. These videos are great and hope you make more of them. I liked the one your father did on outside wood burning boilers. I was looking for a indoor wood fireplace but now I'm thinking an outdoor one would be more beneficial. Great video guys.
Thank U For sharing your day farming life with us. I enjoy 😊 watching you’re video over the large dairy farm. God bless you and your family
Thank you for watching!
I have enjoyed this weeks series of chores on the farm and what all goes into your life in a dairy farm. Your brother really are hard workers, and do a great job helping you on the farm. Your younger brother did a great job with feeding the calf and telling the story about how it wasn’t eating good and then started eating, and explaining the lines on the bottle what they are there for was great information for people that might not know what they are. Great week looking forward to seeing what you have planned for us next. Love this channel allot more than others I have watched in the past.
We are glad you enjoy the channel! Thank you James!
Great to see all you brothers working together. My brother did NOT like farm work.Things went better if he did not help. Not a bad brother just did not like farm work.Not every farm kid has to be crazy about farming. Thanks for taking time out of a very busy week to do your videos. And to your parents, I would say you have some fine young men there. Thanks 😊.
Thank you Stan!
Those heifers can get a little frolicking when they get a taste of freedom. Funny that when we feed silage we have a silo away from the barn we unload on a hay wagon out of the silo then pull it around to the barn and fork it into wheel barrows. A clean barn is easier to keep clean I think it's all in the mindset. Big shout out to the brothers. I know how much the teamwork means. That's probably why my parents had 2 more kids when I was 15. Second generation as the neighbors would say.
Lol it was a good time! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great work guys. It's awesome that you all were able to do this so your mom and dad could get a vacation in.
Thank you!
i love seeing what the smaller dairy's operations are... family farms are great!!
Thank you!
Great job boys way to work together things seem to go better if everyone pitches in and gets along even if things don’t go as planned
Thank you Jerry!
I'm like how the family chips in when you need help. That's awesome! Great video like always!
Thank you Cole!
Thanks for sharing an idea of how your dairy operation works. Always good to see family working together. Take care.
Thank you for watching we greatly appreciate it!
You have a great family. Your dad did a great job of teaching you all, he is pretty amazing! Thank you for sharing your life.
Thank you Walt!
Loving the nice cleanliness of the farm. Farm I grew up on I made sure on my extra time to keep it tidy. Take pride in a nice clean farm.The wheel fences are awesome. Only find one issue with the farm....no fords😂
Thank you! Never been around ford tractor but they seem cool!
@@GierokFarms that's pretty much the only tractor I've drove for the most part. Always willing to drive anything though lol
So great that your brothers helped so much. I enjoy your videos so much! You all work so hard everyday to ensure we have food to eat. I am thankful to God for all our farmers. Can’t wait for the next video!! God bless you and your family and stay safe what ever you are doing.
Thank you!
Excellent Series, you and your brothers work like a well oiled machine.
Very systematic , it's a lot of work being a dairy farmer.
Thanks again.
Nice job boys! One of my favorite Ag channels.
Thank you!
Interesting video. I liked the article I found on the Internet about your operation by looking at the sign inside the barn, 2019 dairy breakfast and to the sign on the barn. Fascinating family and Bells. I've traveled through Wisconsin stopping at different farms buying cheese. NEW SUBSCRIBER. Also, looked at your 250 acre plus farm via satellite on fast people search. Godspeed from a drafted, disabled, sprayed, and betrayed Republic of South Vietnam combat veteran '68. I milked cows on our 1400 acre farm before being drafted at age 19. We had a 1950 front drive assist Oliver with a Detroit Diesel. I live near Fort Worth, Texas.
Welcome to the channel glad you like it! Thank you for watching!
Great work and patience with that calf!
Thank you!
Great week !! Great videos love watching brothers working together
Thank you!
You guys are Wisconsin’s finest! Makes me proud to be from Wisconsin. Keep up the good work!
So good to see the family working well together. Congratulations on a great week. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Excellent farmers and such fine people. Thanks you guys.
Thank you Michael!
Nice shot of the cow with the frosted whiskers! And the footage of the Brown Swiss calf was excellent as well. Beautiful animals. It's nice to see that even though you guys do this every day you still see the beauty that surrounds you.
Thank you!
It was great to see what's going on in your farm in 1 week. Thanks for this insight for me on another continent. Greetings from beautiful Switzerland
Thank you!
Good week your dad will be proud darn whether people can’t forecast anything 🤣🤣🇺🇸
Thank you!
Brings back fond memories of doing chores as well as doing the milking before we went to the new free barn and milking parlor quite a change in management as well thanks for taking your time bringing back the memories carl

Thank you James
Love your videos. I'm a small dairy i Pennslvania. Would love seeing more milking videos
Thank you! Good to know!
The whole silage and snow ordeal is about like hay and rain huh ? Haha I just purchased three Holstein heifers! Well see where these three take me! Love you videos and how your whole family is in on the action!!
Congratulations! Thank you we are glad you like the videos!
There’s nothing like a family that can work together and get along Thanks for helping fellas! I lived by a dairy farm and at least 3 of the kids worked it with the parents Wonderful
Thanks. Saw those bags of lime and remembered ours came from Mayville Lime in Mayville, WI. That was always a big heavy load on the pickup when we hauled it home. Good to see brothers working well together. I was an only son, and my sister did not do much farm work.
I'd say you guys had a pretty good week. Another Great job of Teamwork!!
Thank you Rob!
Thanks for sharing this. This takes me back to my experience growing up on a Dairy farm in Minnesota. Love all the videos. BTW, beautiful farm you all have.
A really nice series G Men, congratulations to your successful team. So many memories, some extra exercise with those two that forgot where the gate was SO familiar. Your folks are coming back to blessings.
Thank you!
Great series! Nice to see you and your brothers working together, they really did a great job! Your parents will be proud! I really enjoyed this, maybe you could do another one in the future around summer time? I'm looking forward to spring and summer videos from you, it will be great seeing field work again, I'm sure your itching to get in them as I am. Take care and God bless guys!
Thank you Derek!

Enjoyed the series and all the work that goes into making a family farm work. Good to see your brothers in the videos and the help that they gave you. I'm sure your father and mother are proud of you all knowing they can take a vacation and everything gets done. Keep up the videos they are very informative,
Thank you Wayne!
Loved this week long video series!! Your little brother is really good w/ the cows and calves too. He would do well filming if he has interest in it. Your mom and dad have raised three fine young men!
Thank you Tom!
As crazy as it sounds, I love the snow!!. I've only seen snow once and that was 50 years ago. I now live in Tasmania on the North West coast so little likely of snow as we are right on the coast. Was involved with a dairy farm during school holidays and loved it.
Loved the series and I'm now binge watching your other videos.
Keep up the work and stay healthy
Thankyou very much Tim! We are glad you found us and are enjoying the videos!

What's a switch cow? So happy to see your younger brother doing a video with the calf, he's a natural and it was nice that he gave us an update.
Cows that don't have a stall full time just part of the day, because we have more cows then stalls in the barn! Otherwise they have a nice bedding back under the roof behind the barn! Thank you for watching!
What a week.. really enjoy the videos. Also like to say the video that you did with your dad on chainsaw cutting was really good. Thank you and enjoy watching you all work as a family

Great series. Glad the week went well. It’s nice to see you and your brothers working together, but it’s also nice to see you guys having a little fun times along the way, too! Enjoying all your videos. Hope your parents enjoyed their time away. I know when I milked cows, it was nice to get away, but it was always nice to come back to the farm, too.
Thank you!
Thank you For sharing!
Great series. Looking forward to the day my 12 year old decides to step up and help a little more around here. Your brothers definitely come across as pretty good guys. I look forward to your videos now. They are interesting. Your little brother showed some courage taking control of the camera. Nice delivery too . . . no uhhs or umms. Highlight of our week was selling 23 registered pairs of Herefords. They went to Tuscaloosa, AL.
Thank you!
Awesome job
Thank you
Great video week
Thank you!
Great job team 👍 look after yourselves.
Thank you!
Great to see your youngest brother feeding that Brown Swiss Calf and filming. It sure was eager and happy to down that milk bottle. Is that calf the same one that you filmed originally not wanting to eat? No worries about not filming in the evening, appreciate what you can do. Appreciate that all 3 of you worked well as a team and created a great 7 day series.
Yes its the same one, Than you Ben!
I just found your channel! 👏 You have a beautiful farm. It looks bitterly cold there, probably because I'm in Northern California. High today 64, low of 39, and was 80 one day last week. We need rain badly though, maybe still a drought. I look forward to reviewing your older videos and new videos!💙
Welcome to the channel, we are glad you found it! Thank you!
Thank you for an interesting week of life on the farm !!!
Enjoyed the series. Thanks.
Thank you!
Shout out to your brothers 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
I dare say that it seems like everyone grew in many ways over that week. Peace-of-mind is a great thing. All you guys should be proud, as should Mom because without her none of this would have happened. Tuesday is valentines day........ ;)
Thank you for the reminder!
@@GierokFarms
Your welcome, it was a notice on my computer's calendar.
Good job boys!!!
Thank you Greg!
Great video as always ! Greetings from Russia )))
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for watching!
Beautiful little calf
50 years ago it was common in western Missouri dairy farmers sold or gave their bull calves away assap. So the mama's could rejoin the herd bull calves made for great 4H
Projects for the local kids, they learned how to care and raise calves
I worked on a big farm here in Ireland for 19yrs
so that bunk has partial wall on one side with haylage on the bottom and corn silage on top
Yes it is layered!
makes some good mixed feed right off the bat no mixer wagon or extra equipment and time. very well thought out
Keeping it real
Thank you!
What you should do is call this your "Day in the life of a Dairy Farmer ( Winter)" Then do one for Fall, Spring and Summer as well. That would be really cool to see
That's a great idea!
@@GierokFarms Love the videos man, I'm active duty army and work on a Farm before i went into the service and my dream is to retire and have a small operation of my own one day
@@Zombie_King93 Thank you for your service! It's a great way to live your life, it's my long term goal as well!
it goes to you guys.
Thank you
Love video
Thank you
How much spoilage do you get from your silage pile? Those Brown Swiss can be stubborn for sure. You have such a beautiful farm. Your channel is really taking off.
Not a lot depends on the year and the effectiveness of our silage additives.
You can't fool mother nature😊😊😊
lol
@Gierok farm that’s good that your younger siblings like to help you out when they can how many siblings do you have
Thank you
@Gierok farms your welcome
Do you keep the chickens with the cows ? Do you have a separate coop for them? Do they lay eggs in a specific place or in different places in the barn?
No they have their own coop!
No Keg parties this week with the parents away?
Probably not enough time.... Still got to get up in the morning. 😂
Nope to much work to do!
I don't know if anyone ever asked you this question but, why do you use a dump wagon instead of a feeder wagon or a T.M.R.?.I know that they are expensive and have many moving parts, but they can save a lot of time.
The dump wagon works well for us!
How do you like your square bale feeder
How many acres do you plant to provide the silage you use? And what is it, corn?
Corn and alfalfa!
How quickly do you go through your jeans while kneeing hay?😊
Nice man how's the farming going up where your from
Good, thanks
@@GierokFarms no problem man name is Patrick by the way and hopefully one day I can start my own dairy farm mabey 25 Holstein cows even tho I hate Holsteins but they make great milking cows
At what age do you separate the calf from the cow?
Within the first week.
Who is the quilter in the family?
?
Do you have an off farm job, or do you work full time on the farm? Love the videos
I have a job off the farm.
I dairy farm in northern pa. You guys do way to much manual labor. They do make electric or gas powered silage carts😃. Keep up the good videos. Looks like your animals get really good care
Glad to hear form another dairyman! Lol, thanks for watching!
What state?
WI
do you have any attack roosters lol
Not with this batch of rooster they are pretty tame!
Why don’t you use the grapple bucket
My fresh cows get 1 milking and in the tank she goes.
A lot of people do that! We need the milk to feed calves anyways!
THANKS BROTHERS!😂
