This was a fun and interesting video Eric, and educational as well. Love the gentle care you provide to those calves, and the cows as well. Thank you for going out of your way to make this special video.
Perfect Timing, I just starting showing my kids (4&6) your videos and how much hard work goes into getting the milk they drink. They love the videos but especially love the videos with the Calves.
I really enjoyed watching about your calves - also how you get the milk and clean up afterwards - I must say I am really impressed at how clean things are around the barn and in the kitchen area. Great job!!!
@@davidwhite8767 Billions of human babies, probably you as well, were/are bottle fed. Go take up that cause since you obviously know nothing about dairy farming.
When I saw this was about the bottle Calves I couldn't click fast enough. I would be in big trouble, playing with calves all day they are soo cute. You guys do amazing work. Thanks for sharing!
This was my job aged 6 till I was 19. I loved every single minute! Very similar system; pas milk in bottle, then bucket, then water. We also had feed with Jelly babies and other sweeties in, I’d wash them in the parlour and eat them myself...!
So excited, Eric!! I received my long sleeved tee and my hoodie today!! I love my 10th Generation Dairyman goodies. I bought them in burgundy. They are excellent quality and I love how soft they are. Now I can tell even more folks about your site!! Great job!!
We went from feeding 2 litres 3 times a day to 3 litres 3 times per day and saw huge benefits for the calves. Also we only feeding using bottles because we want the calves suckling so that they produce a lot of saliva.
As always, loved the video. Nice seeing the young ones and progression. Again, I really appreciate your hard work and the way you care for your animals, it comes through on your videos.
Great video on calf rearing mate . I bottle feed my calfs for 4 weeks then for 6 weeks on a teat bucket then for 2 weeks one feed a day with lots of calf cake. 😎👌👍
Really enjoy ur video’s !!!! Amazing how u guys do everything!!!! Man there’s a lot of work to b done every day at ur dairy farm WOW blown away seems like u never hav time for anything? Always doing something!!!! Awesome work !!!!
Eric... thanks for showing us non farmers what it daily takes to make the business run . It’s been really educational and fun to see your daily journey.Blessing s to you and your family. Wi .
I really admire how well you clean things. You’re very professional and take pride in your work and how you care for your animals. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for the inspiration!! I want to be a farmer when I grow up. And this is great. I can't wait for the next video when I finish this one. Thanks Eric
I only feed my calves on bottle for about 3 days. Then they get switched over to the automatic feeding system which is like a bottle. You have a nice calf barn. Plenty of ventilation. Great video!
Look who it is. 😀😀 I've been following Eric about the same time I started following your family. It's been interesting to see some of the differences between dairy farms. Both of your farms are very hard working!
A very rewarding job feeding calves, we do it similar to you do Erik and its nice to see how you feed your calves. They have a nice shine on there skin. They are thriving well and well looked after. Interesting video Erik.
You don't even realize that you are way more intelligent than your years. Your ethics and caring for your animals needs to be commended Eric. Stay safe and Merry Christmas from Cape Cod
It's good you talked about the calves. Also we like how y'all handle the livestock. Not yelling and whistling so much. They seem like good behavior around you and your team.
Back in 1966-1975, feeding calves was part of my job too. We did not have bottles. We had pails with a nipple on them. We also would try to get them to drink out of the pail (without nipple) as soon as possible. If I remember correctly,.....they were usually drinking out of the pail (no nipple) within a few weeks.
In the old days we would keep the calf with the mother in separate pens from the rest of the milking cows. We did this because newly freshened cow's milk is not to be used for human consumption because of all the colestrum in the milk. After a week we would put the freshened cow back in the regular rotation and and bottle feed the calves. We had a small herd so managing the herd was not a big challenge. I really enjoy seeing the calves. I made my dad angry because I was always trying turn the calves into pets. Bull calves didn't hang around long because we would take them to the auction barn after several weeks. As usual, Eric, you produced a very enjoyable post.
Thanks for another wonderful and interesting video, Eric!!! You are one of the hardest working people I have ever seen! Kudos to you! I know your dad and entire family are so proud of you!
Love the videos and feeding calves is my favorite job also on our farm we use bottles the whole time the calves are on milk and we have found it works better
Thank You for making time to share your videos with viewers who never saw the inside a dairy farm. Please keep them coming " you could show mess-ups/poop accidents so everyone see's it's not a bed of rose's working with live animals " .
Giving them the bottle, whole way untill they are off milk. It's supposed to be better because they drink slower and more spittle and enzyme mixes with the milk
Eric you never cease to amaze me your animals are well taken care of everything is washed and clean this is such a good operation thanks for the video 👍🇺🇸 .P. S. On my farm we did not raise cows lots and lots of chickens .
That was nice. I like anything that has to do with the calves. I bet you like it too as it's a change from the other jobs you do in a day. Good video 10GD. Peace.
We feed some whole milk and top it off with milk replacer to the amount we need, mixed in a milk taxi. We used to use buckets, but just switched to 4qt bottles and a bottle washer for cleaning them to reduce labor. Feeding around 40 calves right now.
We keep the calves with a big round drum that has about 20 teats. It’s a great job when they get older you can just throw in the 10 gallons in and leave them at it
I have to say you work your butt off I love watching your family farm videos dairy farm. Dairy farms are a lot more busier than cattle farms we have an Angus farm and we don't work as much as you guys do I think our busiest time is the winner
You are amazing! I am a writer of books and I'm learning from you because my latest book takes place on a dairy farm. I know nothing. I'm kind of addicted to watching now - too old to start a farm of my own. Thank you!
I miss feeding my babies, I always got them on a bucket as soon as I could, but as you said, a super important job to raise calves and sometimes its hard
On our farm we start with bottles then at about a week we try buckets, which can be one of the hardest jobs on the farm getting them to understand the bucket. We use all milk replacer.
Our calves get a bucket with a teat the whole milk period. With a teat the calves drink small bits and they will digest it better and it keeps them from getting diarrhea. Greetings from a Dutch farmer :)
Your farm's future lives in the calf barn. Agree with you that feeding and care "can't be taken lightly." We had galvanized pails with a nipple and a hook on them. We could use the hook to hang the pail on the side of the pen, rather than to hand hold a bottle. The calf could suckle while we used the eating time to clean each calf's pen. Just another way to do the same thing that you do. One of the most successful farmers I knew did all the calf feeding himself. He wanted to know each calf was healthy and well cared for, it paid off in low mortality and great growth. That then translated into high production cows. You are of the same mind. Nice.
We switched to all bottles about three years ago. I would never go back. We feed around 200 calves and it takes a little longer with bottles, but not too much. Better growth, less disease...I could go on and on. But Penn State has some excellent literature on calf rearing.
We feed all calves on bottles. They say that buckets r faster but not as healthy because they are drinking too much at a time. When calves are young it’s better for them to drink slower. But buckets are a lot faster
I feed calves 1 + 1/4 bottles until about 4 weeks old, and about 1/3 of a bucket of milk to the older ones until they are about 2.5 to 3 months old (both the bottles and 1/3 of a bucket are the same amount of milk). They all get about 3/4" of calf-grower grain feed in one bucket, a full bucket of water, and a handful of hay. We feed them this twice a day.
Love the video thanks for making it and showing us the calves. That new born calf with the black head and with stripe that is a nice shape of a calf there must be good breading in it - that should grow to be a good cow

Chris,
That is such a great idea! Especially if y'all are in the city and your kids are at the perfect age for this info. 😀👍
Excellent job on your calf housing, feeding and daily care. Raising tomorrow's assets today.
I like that locking device for the calf’s water buckets. I need that for my cats who continually dump their water bowls because, well, they’re cats.
Same with my dog, lol.
Eric is such a kind, gentle calf daddy. And he is a great washer. Loved the video and thanks for sharing it with us.
That newborn caught on quick taking the bottle. Loved this video. Thanks!
Your knowledge of the farming process is incredible... Years of experience.....and wisdom.
I really enjoyed watching about your calves - also how you get the milk and clean up afterwards - I must say I am really impressed at how clean things are around the barn and in the kitchen area. Great job!!!
That newest heifer calf is big. What a great replacement cow she will be.
Yes it's big and strong too
The most adorable but most frustrating job on the farm is trying to get claves to drink properly.
The calves are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!! :) :) :)

Yes it is
I love watching this channel.
Love to see the little calves! Their excitement at getting some nice warm milk in the morning is so sweet.
They would be much happier drinking from their mothers. Do you have no empathy?

Wish all young people were as enthusiastic and hard-working as you! Always enjoy your videos!
I was litteraly watching a vid of yours when you posted, Love the vids keep it up 👍
Calf feeding fun time that’s a great job!! Everything about your dairyman operation is so clean and organized!! Awesome video THANKS!!🙋♀️😊

I saw a sign on the way to the post office that said thank a farmer so "thank you " for all your hard work to help feed Americans .
Calves are soo cool! Amazing that they are only 24 hrs old and already walking around. Beautiful animals.
So excited, Eric!! I received my long sleeved tee and my hoodie today!! I love my 10th Generation Dairyman goodies. I bought them in burgundy. They are excellent quality and I love how soft they are. Now I can tell even more folks about your site!! Great job!!
Appreciate the extra time you take to shoot POV and also get establishing/wide shots - keep up the great work!
Great video. It is so interesting to see how what seems like such a simple task, involves so many steps, including the cleanup.
We went from feeding 2 litres 3 times a day to 3 litres 3 times per day and saw huge benefits for the calves. Also we only feeding using bottles because we want the calves suckling so that they produce a lot of saliva.
Happy little cows because of you,, you're kind,gentle,and respectful to them...your additude is great
If you attach milk bottle sleeves to you rail fencing, you just pop the milk bottles into the sleeves and the calf's feed themselves.
As always, loved the video. Nice seeing the young ones and progression. Again, I really appreciate your hard work and the way you care for your animals, it comes through on your videos.
we do the same thing as you guys. My sister normally takes care of the calfs. Amazing video
We too😊

We've raised lots of bottle calves it sure is fun to see how you professional guys do it.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I learn so much and it makes me really appreciate everything you and your family does to feed us. Thank you.

I was about 20 when I got to bottle feed a calf at a dairy. I literally GIGGLED with glee. It was the most fun I'd ever had.
I’ve been subscribed since 2 years ago on the corn silage harvest. I love the vids Eric.
IDK how or when I started watching all these farmers but MAN! Y'all are the MVPs!
It's good you talked about the calves. Also we like how y'all handle the livestock. Not yelling and whistling so much. They seem like good behavior around you and your team.
Really enjoyed watching you WORK and narrate. So interesting.
Excellent video Eric. Another example of the quality operation that you and your dad are running.
