I tell all the RUclips farmers this I cannot give you enough thanks for what you do Farmers are the heart and soul of country. You will forever have my support and respect.
Glad to see the Kubota skid steer still running good. I know farming fixing and fabrication channels have had a lot of problems with their Kubota skid steers.
We just had three or four days of steady light rain and it was nice to see all of the moisture go into the soil to help things over the winter. Seems it went down there for you. Great video, thanks.
So we farm in Colorado, where the bird flu was horrible. I would keep a close eye on your herd because those signs started off when we had the bird flu. My prayers go out to you that you guys don’t get it. Love your content
Hopefully you will take us to the sale barn and see a few of your calves sell. The farmers around here go to catch up with other farmers and the sale barn always has the best cheeseburgers 😊
You all do a really nice job caring for you cattle. We had issues with rain in September and October here near the Ozarks. A large amount of rain came over a two day period that caused a lot of wash, about 15 1/2" during a 48 hour period, Nov. 4th and 5th. That was a near disaster for all the roads and fields, gravel and debris washed in our fields. Oh well, we just have to make the best of a bad situation, like you all are doing! Thanks for sharing, I hope you get some moisture that will help, have a good night!
Largest Holstein that I ever sold weighed 2195 pounds. She always had to be in the back stall of the herringbone parlor, and we just left the back gate open because she didn't fit. Never was a problem standing there. Great video, and the mild ketosis is a curious thing.🤔
I like your new compost bins. Big enough to hold all the winter muck. Great to get some rain. We need some down here in North Canterbury New Zealand too. Your vlogs are always a great watch, thank you!👍
May you succeed in your endeavors. Hobby farming with an off farm job removes some risk allowing me a hobby that I wish for in my cubicle. I hope you prosper and live the dream I strive for. Only 37 more years until retirement.
We have good luck with a product called Revive here in Canada on cows that are off feed, sick, surgery etc etc etc. it comes as a bolus or powder for tmr inclusion. Probiotic. Helps with restoring rumen bugs and appetite. I’d look for it. Also a Neo formula for calves we mix with their milk.
We drench them with linseeds that were soaking over night in hot water in a (2-5kg linseed in a bucket). Next day drench it with Calcium, a buffer and yeast product. We use 30-40 Liters in an old calf feeder to drench them with a dirt water pump. Safes a bunch of them.
I don’t know why, but I love the idea of cover crops, and winter crops. I’m not a farmer or anything it just seems like a great idea. It’s nice to hear about what happens to keep the cows healthy when they have signs of issues. Also hearing about reasons cows get sold off. I saw that Jan of Sask Dutch kid channel says he’s cool with putting the extra manure in a pile and he says “it’s not going anywhere“. I’m not sure if he’s storing it just because they covered all their fields or another reason though. They got snow up there but they handle it like champs, of course. They did spread their liquid manure and emptying the lagoon completely, which is a major task completed
Ive seen good success with adding about 3/4 a pound of alfalfa meal to the 5 gallons of water and electrolytes. Rumination response on smaxtec is usually very noticeable.
Hey Eric. Thanks for yet another interesting vid. @10thgenerationdairyman61 i had a thought whilst watching your skid steer 'bucket' yardscrape. you have scraper made tractor tyre carcass. why not get cpl sidewall from other large tyres and bolt them like "wings" to the bucket edges? Objective is scrape really close to obsructions without smashing or harsh collision, tet strong and flexible. a bit of thought and a few bolts, and the 'wings' can fold or hinge out of the way whilst permanently attached. fold down for scraping. fold away bucket work.
Wondering if you have sweeper attachment for skid steer to keep feeder paths clean of dirt rocks and snow, could even put deicer spreader on skid steer do whole job in one go. Good luck 👍
Cow probably has avian bird flu. Just saw a thing about it on the weather channel. Need to keep the birds out of the barns. I know it’s a problem you’ve been talking about.
Internal bleeding maybe a little tear in the uterus can drop temperature. Hunched over, lack of appetite is also a sign that all is not well in the gut/breeding department
Do the boluses give anything more than temp and rumination that would help with the diagnosis of disease? Are there any updated models of the boluses that do offer more info or software updates that can be downloaded to you current model? Possibly a new model that can placed and the old model disabled?
I always give you guys a heart❤ thumbs up, however…. I see you take excellent care of your animals, but those poor bastards don’t know what’s coming to them…. Eventually, McDonald’s and filet mignon.😢 I’m not an activist or anything, I like steak

Bob and Bill😃
Those skidsteers seem to be one of the unsung heroes of the whole operation! Very good real video.
In the last video the overhead door lift chain breaking might be due to weight springs need adjusting. You're a hard working, smart young man 😎
Things seem to be moving along nicely, Erik. Not having to mix and put out feed must be quite a time saver for you and Dad. Cheers 🇨🇦

I wonder how much impact that has on the cover crops yield.
Really good video. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed the ride.

5:20 She looks like she's not feeling well! Wow, poor girl.
She is doing a lot better since this video thankfully
Eric, you’re an excellent doctor. Could be a DVM. But you do the job of a vet.
We need to name the robots. They are now your new elite employees so they deserve a name
One should be R2 and the other D2.
@@1ponsford😂
Yes. Robi and Mobi- how's that for starters ?
Thing1 and Thing2. 👍
Or let's not anthropomorphize inanimate objects. I'm sure the software has an ID for them. That's what I would use.
Or Gort and Marvin.
Eric I really enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much for all the time you put into them.
I thought long and hard and came up with the perfect names for the robot feeders. Eric and Eric's dad😅
that girl is a massive mama jama its sad to see her go but what a beautiful cow

Great video brother from the imperial county ca 🚜🚜🇺🇲🇺🇲
THANKYOU for another GREAT video, Eric.
You are a Legend!
Blessings from Australia....❤
Awesome video. Thank you and have a great Thanksgiving
you do a better job than most in explaining the whats and whys, really enjoy your channel.
excellent video!
Hi from Denmark! 🇩🇰
Snow is on its way. ❤❤❤❤

Looking good Eric, hope you get some rain.
Great video from union county nc 🇺🇸
That’s a serious drench system 5 gallons a dose 🍻
You know i watch several different farmers on RUclips but yours is the only one I always wait for anxiously
Haha
A video idea would be timelapse’s with a camera mounted on different parts of the Lely feeding robots showing a full cycle of feeding.
Thanks 😊
Eric, you requested topics to cover, when you’re working with the cows I’d like you to tell us the breeding of that cow.Cheers 🇦🇺
All good!
The s-word! Huh. Where I am in upstate NY, still haven't got any. It's predicted for Thanksgiving tho. Of course.
6:30. Kinda late !!! Robots are letting you sleep in !!! Lol
Excellent video

Have you thought of maybe getting a brush attachment for a skid steer to clean the routes for the feeders this winter.
Hey Eric. Thanks for yet another interesting vid. @10thgenerationdairyman61 i had a thought whilst watching your skid steer 'bucket' yardscrape. you have scraper made tractor tyre carcass. why not get cpl sidewall from other large tyres and bolt them like "wings" to the bucket edges?

They used to have that but changed it.
@@shermdog6969 the tractor carcass or the flappy wing thing?
Good information very interesting.
What is next? An automatic alley scraper?
We had a 1st lactation cow like that. She made it over 800 dim and 80,000. Our record cow was 1200 dim
Wow
Awesome video Eric 🚜🚜🚜
Why didn’t you give that cow any banamine?
When the owners away, the robots will play!!! I just made that up

Have you tried a selenium mineral block to help with your ketosis problems?
Wondering if you have sweeper attachment for skid steer to keep feeder paths clean of dirt rocks and snow, could even put deicer spreader on skid steer do whole job in one go. Good luck 👍
That giant cow!,,,
I stay in ketosis all the time but that's pretty interesting how a herbivore gets there. That can't be good.
Robots need googly eyes!
Actually tho
Mail him some.
I love milk!
Ok, I'll throw the first couple names out there for the robots....
R2D2 and CP30 I know, I know...
But it's the best i could come up with....
Cow probably has avian bird flu. Just saw a thing about it on the weather channel. Need to keep the birds out of the barns. I know it’s a problem you’ve been talking about.
I think you also have pressure wash once in while
lol that wafflestomp at 1:30
i love watching your videos while playing FS25 good stuff
Reassure (sp) in the dry cow diet
Check ketones with small blood sample
In humans, propylene glycol is used to clear your bowels before colonoscopies
I am curious how you tell if you've gone down the esophagus or the trachea with the drench pump, or aspirin dispenser?
Internal bleeding maybe a little tear in the uterus can drop temperature. Hunched over, lack of appetite is also a sign that all is not well in the gut/breeding department
Do you have to cover the robots when it rains to keep moisture out of the feed?
Eric, why not separate the sick ones from the other vows. Hope your whole family a Happy Thanksgiving Day .
im glad noone invented smellavision
When are you going to show how the robot scrapers are doing
👍
I've seen cows get hardware or a twisted stomach and act ketotic.
Do the boluses give anything more than temp and rumination that would help with the diagnosis of disease? Are there any updated models of the boluses that do offer more info or software updates that can be downloaded to you current model? Possibly a new model that can placed and the old model disabled?
❤
😎 👍
🥰🥰🥰
Love your robot feeders that’s pretty cool. They run 24 hours a day?
Yes they do
👍👍
What happened to the robot scrapers that you had before that used to do that for you
Thanks for another video. Do you think the bird problem might have something to do with the sick cows. Happy Thanksgiving!
Are you feeding rumensin or reassure to your Dry cows or pre fresh?
Yes we are
what kind of glycol?
What do you do with a cow that has died?
Ketosis is my goal, but I can see where you don't want your dairy cows burning protein.
Wot temp is ur bolus giving for a low
Have yall checked for bird flu?
🇨🇦👍
I think you need some nice low music out there for the girls.and maybe a nice pet and a few kind words would be nice for the..
When you guys take your cows away you take them to butcher or do you just sell them to other Farmers just curious about that?
I always give you guys a heart❤ thumbs up, however…. I see you take excellent care of your animals, but those poor bastards don’t know what’s coming to them…. Eventually, McDonald’s and filet mignon.😢 I’m not an activist or anything, I like steak
aint proplyene glycol aintfreeze?
That's ethylene glycol.
Next time you have trouble getting a cow pregnant, try playing some Barry White during insemination. 😂😂😂
Might be hardware disease.
👍👌
