- Today we have a jam packed morning of chores. There is lots to do before the bad weather rolls in. We start off feeding and milking right away. Then we have to load two cows on the trailer to take to market. Lastly we are cleaning barns and finishing up feeding all before lunch. Very grateful for the super productive morning. Thank you all for watching!

Thank you Gierok family for taking us along on another day on the farm!
Hope you guys don't get a whole of snow, look like a lot has melted, stay warm, be well. God bless
My favorite thing is how much you all care for the tidiness of the farm. It always looks so neat and well cared for.
Boy, this dang winter just won't quit! Another two inch's' again this morning!
I was amazed that the milk cows come from the field to get milked.
Add to my comment, my uncle grew up on a farm.
I thought it would be time consuming to gather them, that’s was amazing bit of information.
You folks have the world by the Doo Lollies - Everything you have you worked hard for. . . Very inspirational.
My favorite team, Dad and Son❤❤❤❤❤❤ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS😊😊😊😊
good job. my favorite part was when you put down the bedding for the cows..they were definitely happy
Team work makes the dream work. Great video
Friday is apparently gonna hurt for us. Talking 50mph winds and snow. Hang on boys!!
On our farm growing up (and we too were Swiss) the 5 tined fork that Mason called a "pitch fork" was called a barley fork. A pitch fork had only 3 tines and was narrow, shaped like the letter A. We used it to "pitch" sheaves off the wagon into the threshing machine or bundles of corn into the corn shredder for ear corn or recutter/blower filling silo. A fork with 4 tines was usually called a "manure fork" but one that had 4 broad flat tines was a "potato fork". There was also a 4 or 5 hook (bent) tined fork that was used to pull down silage from the back of a rear unloading silage wagon. I don't remember exactly how many tines a silage fork had, maybe 12, but the outer tines were turned up slightly at the edge to make it shaped like a scoop shovel. Anyway that's what we called them and nobody ever handed me a pitch fork when I asked for a barley fork even though we hadn't grown barley for years when great grandpa, Peter Enge grew hops for the Pabst brewery before Pabst won the blue ribbon.
George likes that barley fork with the broken tine, On forks with missing tines he has mastered a clever combined toss/rake maneuver that saves time and effort.
I remember that blue ribbon being printed on more than a couple bottles.
Enjoyed 👍
Great video as always. Love watching them. Nothing better then a family working together awesome
I just love how much hard work you guys put into keeping things looking good and taken care of. Equipment and cattle! Buildings as well!
Always seems good to get things done before the weather makes a turn for the worse!!!
Lil Bro has jokes😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s really great to see how you guys work together to get stuff done. The cows are happy the farm looks great. Thank you for always having a great time sharing the farm with us. God Bless
When I was working on my first dairy there was two small silos on the end of the barn. The first one we used to blow sawdust up. I'd go up once a week in the winter and pitch enough down to bed our cow stable. I used a wheelbarrow for three stalls. Unless the weather was bad we would leave the cows out to eat hay and silage until about noon. After we put them in it was time for dinner.
AND THANK U-ALL FOR ALL OUR MILK !!!

Great job. Take care fellers.
When your dad is running that skid steer you better get the hail outta the way lol.
3/30 here and we’re expecting another big wind storm this weekend. Some people finally got power back today from the last one.
Farming is all about the weather in one way or another. Thank you for not putting the camera on the manure shovel 😉 You are probably going to receive a bunch of forks now. It's interesting to see how the cows establish their "pecking order". They have personalities. You have a beautiful herd. Stay safe, and God bless.
Nice to see a clean operation.
Nice!
Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoy watching your video! Great that family works together to get things done. Mason seems to be doing a great job with missing tine fork. LOL Thanks for sharing your farming journey with us.
Excellent video ❤
Like watching you do chores mess doing that.
thank you
Great video Gierok Farms
thank you always fun❤❤❤
AWESOME VIDEO STAY WARM AND GOD BLESS
Always enjoy watching you guys. How much snow did you actually get this time? Love watching your dad with his skid steer. Reminds me somehow of the PacMan game, he moves so fast. Now was that a different fork? I know your dad had a 3 tine one he liked, Hope Mason gets a new one soon. Take Care and Thanks
Interesting video. Have you done a video describing the styles of your buildings? I like the trim on the cow barn today with the picket style overhang and the squares cut out in some of the boards. Is it a Swiss style? I watched the video on the shop and found it informative.
Really enjoy your videos. Thank you
Great video. Quick question what are the style of truss in the dry cow/hiefer barn called?
good job🤠
Mason, I wouldn't work under those conditions!!🤣
What would a farm be without a rooster crowing off in the distance?
👍👍👍👍👍
Question about the heifer you moved in the last video, could you go into more detail about when you AI vs turning them out with a bull? Which cow gets which treatment?
I'm sorry I know it's your heritage but those bells would drive me insane on them cows lol
Question,, why not just roll the silage tarp back ,, instead of cutting it away
How many times a year do you white wash the inside of the barn
Don’t you just hate that when the cows are unhooked from there chains but just want to stand there and make a mess. I absolutely hated that when I used to help milk in a tie stall. We had a 62 cow barn all but 12 were tie stall animals. Used to milk almost 100 cows and switched the 12 that were in the stanchions. I also did not like when I got to some cows and they decided to back out then take a run around the barn. I could get 95 percent of them though by myself. Even more of a chore releasing the clips sometimes with them trying to pull out.
Hi like the raft in dry cow barn , is there a builder close by + state make?
How do farmers get paid? How is it established how much and when? I'm not asking for any personal details, just general principles.
I live in Indiana an there is a big dairy down here and there free barn were they go after they milk they use sand so i wounding why u guys don't I see u use corn stalks
Do you ever put barn lime on your bedding pac?
Did calving started for you guys?
What make is your gutter cleaner ? I never saw one like it.
do you earn a decent living from your farm
Do you havr silage in the silo
Have you ever shown a video of milking?
Do you think that you will establish your own dairy farm?
