Milking, scraping manure, moving silo unloader down, bedding, treating a cow, and feeding cows. Thanks for watching.

GREAT job in taking care of the mama that was low on calcium!! You really do catch those fast!! Thanks again for both you and your Father showing us all about dairy farming! We love watching your videos on our large screen TV in the living room with the family!! Your programs are better than regular TV!! Take care and God bless!!
Much better than regular TV. Real and creative.
Being a city boy I never realized how much work it was to run a dairy farm. You and your Dad work your asses off! Much respect to both of you...
Good comment and very true. I farmed for half my life; then changed to office work. No matter what happened at the office, every day was an absolute piece of cake, compared to the farm work!
The twenty "thumbs Down" are perhaps not interested in watching video examples of hard work, good ethics, honest personal behavior, family values over acting out, and maturity that is beyond the age of most young men of his generation. I for one could not pull the load but I appreciate that we have such an example before us. Many thanks, inspiration comes from perspiration and you have that in spades. Bob Jarrard
They are probably from vegans
@@williamklop2173 most likely. Seems like they spend wayy too much of their free time seeking out KZhead videos just to bombard the comments with their shit.
Sadly it's 1k now

I have a 4 year college degree in Zoology from Louisiana State University. I took "Dairy Science" as an elective. We took a field trip to see the bulls and the cows. We learned all about milk. I had no idea there is so much to know about milk. Thank you for all you do to provide milk for us. - TAV ♥️🇺🇸🌎👍🐄
Glad to see that your dad is getting along with his shoulder good. Your dairy farm and the way that you and your dad manage it is awesome . I was offered to take over the family dairy farm 30 years ago. I turned it down and it is the biggest regret I have in my life. I appreciate you and what you do. Thanks Eric
I love to see a cow just calmly mosey on past the farmer vigorously handling a big stick. Shows they have no fear and are cared for with kindness at all times.
Eric, Thank you so much for sharing a day in the life. I sincerely appreciate the time, effort and energy it took. Great to see your dad up and around and back to close to 100%. God Bless your families.
Thank you for interacting more with the cow in the video. They are happy cow !
Great video. Learned much about cow care. Nice update on new cow stalls. Glad to see your dad nicely into his recovery
Eric, your videos are always so detailed and very enjoyable to watch for a non Farmer. I used to think of a Dairy Farmer as a one job, after watching all the farm duties. I have learned you and your dad, have endless tasks to do, every day.
Wow that’s a lot of care and dedication very interesting good job Eric,Dad & Megan
I was a dairyman 30 years ago. It is so interesting to see how far the dairy industry has come. Thank you so much for your videos.

Good to see your working day, much as mine was when I finished in 2005 after 35 wonderful years working with dairy cows. Keep kind and they keep you well. Regards from UK.
Hi ya, Eric. Love seeing the “day in the life” vids. Farming is not an easy life. That’s for sure!
And certainly not always a fun job
@@colinjudd2599 My Dad and Uncle got out of the Dairy Business when I was around 3 or 4. I miss it myself, seeing the easy-to-work dairy cows and being in the milking stalls. But if I ask my dad, he says that he does not miss it, especially getting home at 11:00 at night. haha
@@jamesarmstrong1641 for sure those milking stalls will take a toll on your back

The mountains of Northern PA are beautiful, I know because I live there! Enjoy your trip, fellowship is always rejuvenating.
Thanks for the COME ALONG, very much enjoyed. Reminds me "Bach In The Day".. 80 years ago.... Enjoy your trip to the mountains, get spiritually and physically refresher....Stay Safe...
The quality of care you all give your animals is amazing! Thank you for being a good example in the dairy industry.
Another great video! Having dairy farmed in the past I can honestly say, "dairy farmers do more before 9:00 AM than most people do all day." And this video proves it
"my wife finds liquid manure absolutely disgusting." queue 45 seconds of continuous liquid manure handling shots... I saw that smirk on your face when you said that...
Everything poops. Fo'realz
Pretty much what I was thinking! 🤣
I agree Eric with your wife. It’s overwhelming to watch all the manure and I guess you get used to the smell? And it’s a natural occurrence in humans and animals but.... yikes. Hopefully the 11th generation dairygal or dairyman will be able to carry on the chores!!!
every animal poop's
Lol that was funny. I think it looks satisfying, as long as I don't have smell it
From a French dairyfarmer : congratulations for the perfect work that you and your family do every days . I have some problemes to understand when you speak so fast, but I get addict 👍
Ah yes, the good ole days, I remember going up in the silo to move things down as the level got lower. So many memories, right down to emptying out the boots when you are done.
agree...hard work but enjoyable
Have a good trip Eric!
There are times I wish smell-o-vision was a thing...this isn't one of those times! Thanks for your great videos.
Everybody should know what a dairy smells like.
@@HappyHarryHardon Its bad that I have been around it so much, just by seeing what it looks like I can smell it. It is funny but sad that I can do that. Growing up on a farm does it to you haha.
@@jamesarmstrong1641 Heck, I was a city kid but friends had farms and cattle and were butchers. When people say manure stinks I say it smells like money.
@@HappyHarryHardon I agree to that
What a fantastic example of excellent animal husbandry a true pleasure to see. Your farm yards, silage clamps and buildings are an absolute pleasure to see how well maintain they are. Keep the updates coming, we love them here in Bristol - UK
I love seeing the cows so intent on eating that they don't notice or mind the feed dumping on their heads.
Can you imagine what this country would be like if all the younger generation had this young mans work ethic ? You young man are an inspiration !!!

Honestly calcium ivs are the best. It’s so amazing to see a cow who has milk fever and can’t move get up and be totally fine 5 minutes after she gets the iv.
what is milk fever
@@alexm566 basically when a cow comes into milk (when she has her calf) she can have a lack of calcium because she is using so much of it. The treatment is an iv drip of calcium.
@@Nickyy64 thanks
A Jersey farmer near me gives calcium to every single cow that freshens. Seems to work for him.
@@rdred8693 Yea most farms give fresh cows a calcium drench when the have their calves but sometimes it is just not enough.
I miss my Grandma's and Dad's harm in Poland, I came here when I was 9 yrs. old. Watching you today made almost cry, living in city in Canada made me realize how lucky were were and you are.
Yall some hard working folks for sure... Thanks for making my job possible!!! I get to deliver the finished product!!
Every time you say I just had breakfast I'm always shocked. You do more before breakfast than most of us do all day.
Hours of work before breakfast is a normal farm day.
😂🤣🤣
Hope you have an awesome day. Lots of nice weather this week. Let's make America move forward.
I like the details that you explain on how cows are raised. I like how you explained how you felt the ears and could tell what she needed.
Have a good time in the mountains.🎄🎄🎄⛄️⛄️⛄️
It’s heartwarming to see how well your cows are cared for!!
Enjoy yourself with the young adults retreat. You deserve the R & R. Love your channel.
fellow Erik here lol love seeing farmers that care about their cows. must respect for your hard work!
TY for doing a great job sharing your gift of dairy farming, sharing what "real life" is all about, educating us!! Milk fever...and you are IV experts too!! YOU GO!! Your wife should be soo proud :) Prayers from the MO heartland... Nice Mouse hunt!! 🤣
I have learned so much from watching your videos. I can’t believe the amount of work y’all Do on a daily basis. Your love and level of care, and dedication you display towards your animals is heartwarming. God bless you all.
I appreciate our hard working farmers.
You are a hard and tireless worker. Thanks for sharing your time!! Peace from SW Florida 🤗!!!
You are a hard worker. I go to the store and buy butter, milk, cheese and ice cream not to mention sour cream.
Hats off to all of you,it's an eye opener to see the actual amount of work you all do in looking after the cattle,if only everybody had that same work ethic. Great viewing.👍👍
There is nothing ethical about exploiting animals
Tom from tom pemberton farm life channel, mentioned you in his sunday video. Great dairy farmer in the UK. He calls the liquid manure liquid gold because its free fertilizer and its amazing on the grass.
Lots of farmers call it liquid gold not only in the UK
I agree its liquid gold, but we know its anything but free! The food we give our cows and livestock cost... but its sure cheaper than chemical fertilizer
People that were raised like way you were (working for what you want, hard workers) seem to make the most genuine and respectful men. Your dad did well.
I absolutely love watching your videos and how much you and you Dad care about your 🐄 and dogs, I live in the UK and there is a farm called Pemberton farm, Tom(the son) does you tube videos and he mentioned you a few times, you make know of him, Tom and his Dad run the farm but as you have more animals and Pemberton's are a lot smaller it's fascinating to watch you both, brilliant
My Dad sold our dairy in August 1973. I was beginning my jR year if HS and I was the last of 11 children. It is Amazin how much has changed in milking process in about 50 years. Technology plays such a big part now. I find it all so interesting. Milking is hard work then and now. I enjoy your videos very much. I can’t say that I miss milking but watching other people work is fun.
What prevents you from starting a dairy business again?
What prevents you from starting a dairy business again?
@@perisher1976 been there, done that. No wish to do it again. Ready to play gramma to my 8 grandchildren. I’ll just enjoy watching other people milk cows.
Always love it when the cows play with the camera. Theyre so curious, and seem to be enjoying their life a lot! Loved the video as always
They don't know anything else.
Old Logger from VT, farms were going belly up in the 80s, l started hiring young men from the farms, best, and hardest workers l have ever had !! You guys are great!
You make taking care of your cows look like a full time job. It makes it easy to understand why lots of farmers sell off all their animals & turn to raising grain. !
Glad to see your dad working again and i am sure he is glad to. Good recovering he had..
I really enjoy your videos. I was told once "There is always something to do on a farm". So far that seems to be true. Enjoy your church weekend, be safe!
Used to help milk cows years ago worked on a dairy with a friend of mine Greg brought back a lot of memories Lord bless you
Thank you eric for being a farmer, you are 1 of the many that are the backbone of america , great video
After watching the corn and soy bean farmers, it's easy to see how much more work and dedication you all have!! But seeing the care and excellent conditions you have for your cows, it makes us realize how great the American dairy farmers do and why we can enjoy milk every day! THANK YOU for all your work plus the videos!!
Excellent conditions? I don't think we have seen the same video
I was thinking to myself how much I truly appreciate your content. Never a worry about it being safe for work. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your videos! Glad that your dad is doing better!
Thank you to all the hard working Farmer's out there that are Feeding the world
I'm glad to see you're wearing a mask with all that shavings dust. You can order them from Amazon or you should be able to get them at your local Hardware Store. The dog is so cute getting the mouse. I can sit here all day watching your videos. I grew up on a farm and it's amazing how things have changed for the better, for the cows and the farmer. Great job, keep up the good work.
all the local stores here in PA sell masks now - from Walmart to the minimarts...
The look on the other cows' faces when you used the aspirin gun. "What the heck is that.....we next?" FYI, absolutely love your channel.
Thank you for sharing your day with us!
I am Happy that you are concerned about bacteria spreading through the herd. I also appreciate your concern for the cow's comfort.
Now the only thing we need is a Casey "Gets The Mouse" Shirt.
I look forward to your videos every week!!! You are favorite.
Outstanding video Eric really enjoyed it. Great to see the god Lord has speeded your dad's recovery 🙏
Thanks again for taking around work with you and explaining different things.
We love your channel! Always looking forward to your next video. You're inspiring our 13 year old to want to be a dairy farmer. He's a BIG fan and is excited to get his t-shirt in the mail!
I don't know if this is weird but I find draining liquid manure so satisfying.
gross but cool
Haha exactly 😆
Imagine that chocolate in a chocolate factory flows down in the same way :))))
I'm so happy to see the efficiency if good machines and labor in action. So freaking clean it makes me proud of you all.
great video Eric, enjoy your time off! From Wales, UK
I'd have to say, I agree with the wife. But it's a big part of the whole operation. Stay safe Eric, from Cape Cod.
Your Dad needs to be on the channel more.
It looks like your Family have a great dairy farm, good job guys.
Hope you had a great time in the mountains. You do a lot of vet work yourself ! If you had to call him/her every time a cow got sick, you’d be broke ! Kudos for to you for the wide spread knowledge you have !
Another great video. Glad to see you wearing mask for those dusty jobs. Keep it up. Great channel and great people. You are a credit to the dairy industry for sure. BTW... your wife must just "love" washing your clothes! lol
You have achieved typical husband status by purposefully grossing your wife out. Well done!
There is something satisfying about cleaning crap away. When you wash it away almost therapeutic. Learnt something new about the cold ears as a symptom for milk fever.thankyou. At a later stage of milk fever the ears do droop . I guess one of the biggest advantages of indoor cows is that they get touched around the head more frequently. You also inject into the ear pocket where as we inject into the tail pocket as that is the area most presented to us. Town must be pretty close for your Dad to pick you up in the tractor lol in our rural town mechanical workshops have the odd loan car they let you use until they have finished with your vehicle.
Enjoy your trip to the mountains. Thank you for your videos!
Idk why, but I laughed when you wondered what your Dad would use to pick you up, the next scene shows the new Holland pulling up
When the frost started coming out of the ground (We lived on gravel roads) I used to take our 1952 John Deere A and a hay wagon and it was the school bus. Some times another student would use their tractor/wagon and drive.
@bill slayton I hear you. Mile south of Dad's there was a bridge made entirely of old railroad ties. Made it interesting to haul hay wagons and chopper boxes over. (In northern WI)
@@anthonyhengst2908 a farm life isn't easy
@@anthonyhengst2908 Back in the 60's my Mother and Grandmother took the tractor and wagon the 1/2 to get to where the car was parked on the pavement. The tractor was confiscated when they were in town. Grandma was not happy about the walk home.
😀😃👨👧👦🥸🥸🚵♀️🚵🤸♂️🤸♀️⛹♂️⛹♀️🏂
Enjoy your few days off! You've earned it.
I work a 9-5 corporate job and I’d much rather live this life. You’re blessed to have all of that. Owning land and animals has now become a luxury of the ultra wealthy. Funny how life works
Your family takes care of people and GOD will remember your service, well done. Praise GOD
On a farm there should never be such a thing as "the" truck.
I was surprised when he said the truck. I thought for sure there would at least be three other trucks available on a farm that size. Even if they weren't farm trucks but just basic personal trucks.
@@johnmullen9478 In all fairness I think that both him and his Father live on the farm so they can walk to work.
Head pats for 602
The manure scrape segments are honestly some of my favorites haha
Man! You have super FULL day's work! Thank you for sharing your day with us!
Your wife watches all your videos. Can’t stand liquid manure and you show extra liquid manure!😂😂😂Good relationship for sure! (FYI her being a nurse, I get why she hates liquid manure. Been there.🤢🤢)
I hear you. 20 years as an RN I have dealt with all the liquid manure I ever want to.
I think see vomiting is worst I don’t mind liquid manure
❤

"Hello, this is New-H taxi service, sorry we only have one cab available at the moment"
And I love your 'scraper', great re-purposing!
Glad to see a young man that knows how to work you don't see that much anymore glad to see it you bet your dad's proud
My family enjoys your videos so much. Our eyes are now open to your very important work. Farmers are absolute HEROS!!! p.s. Just bought a shirt :).
Something satisfying about seeing all that liquid manure and not smelling it, thank you :)
I'm a builder. I've worked on farm's in several European countries. This is more or less the same process everywhere. Great content. These farmers put some hours in. Its much appreciated by me at least.
That New Holland tractor looks good. We hear good reviews on that model. And it's a sloppy scrapee day....😁
I will lift up my eyes to the hills - From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord , Who made heaven and earth. (Psalms 121:1-2) Have fun up on the mountain and God bless!
As always great video. I love the longer videos but I know they are a lot more work so thanks for the effort!
Love your videos ,grew up 70’s ,small grain farm but worked for neighbors ,100 he dairy before I went to ARMY.
Thanks for all you farmers do,Oh and especially thanks for feeding our baby's and children milk.👍👏
For a God fearing man, there was a tiny hint of devilment in that smirk whilst getting plenty of footage of the liquid manure!
Hahaha
Beautiful work loving this from sunny south Africa
Tom pemberton said he would love to meet you one day
Busy day on the farm...... Have fun up here in the hill of northern PA 👍
Your DAD is great love hearing you guys educate us
