Here in Bucks County, there are two places I can buy Clover Farms milk, unfortunately, not my closest grocery stores. But, when there, this is what I buy!
I served for 20 years in the Air Force and we learned Attention to Detail. Every little thing counts and you emulate that beautifully in your daily operation. I find myself wanting to do more after I watch your videos (it's really an update). Thank you so very much!
@Patricia Newton Same here! They remind me of some of the little stuff I've forgotten to check on recently. These videos also relax me so much. Dairy Therapy.
I may have said it before, but I love how much concern you show for the cow's well being. Says a lot about you. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
When I was just a boy my dad had a hobby farm and dad and we would bale hay, plant field corn and attend to the daily needs of the few cows we had,,after high school my job took me across the country and me and my dad were not able to spend much time together ,, he is gone now,,,when I watch you and your dad it bring back a lot of memories ,,,,keep honoring your dad ERIC and God will bless you .
great angles/lighting/perspectives in this video... i really was expecting a "Dew" in your old basketball! thanks for using a shovel with the calves, I think it is better for them & forYou! congrats on receiving a new mixer... looking forward to seeing it!
First generation "off" the dairy farm. I'm a city boy. My mom was raised on a dairy farm in northern Wisconsin during the 30's. I love your video's because they are so instinctual to me. It might be inherent.
@@neillouise7533 Thats for sure, mostly a job of manure management. I was just thinking as long as they were lifting up the mats, time to clean it off as the rest. A layer on the mat will raise it up and promote manure to go under the mat all the quicker.
Great camera views. Love the basketball milk! It is always nice seeing you and your dad working together. Used to work in the yard clearing trees etc. With my parents. My mom passed and dads got Alzhiemers, I really miss spending that time with them.
Glad to see your Dad guarding the right arm. Your team work and methods as you work through the task of trimming the mats was interesting. It seemed seamless as you modified your approach to clearing the buildup and then trimming the mats.
My uncle used to tease us kids by telling us plain white milk came from the white cows&chocolste came from the brown cows! My mother& her 4 brothers grew up on a dairy. Dairy was sold & everyone had moved to town long before I was born! Thank you or reminding me of my uncle who passed this past March 2020(17 yesr battle with cancer)..I now know he hhas peace with the Lord.
Ya'll run a very neat and clean operation. No trash/junk floating around, grassy areas mowed and trimmed. Looking good ya'll. The way you guys treat the animals is very considerate and compassionate.
This shows you how smart cows that are handled all the time are. They are not scared of the human and easy to walk them to the barn and once they see the door that's open they know that's where they got to go. I remember as a little kid at my aunt small dairy farm hanging out with the cows then once old enough I started milking and a short time later they sold off all head as my cousins were all grown and married and too much for my aunt and one cousin to do. My uncle worked at a paper factory. I'm the very youngest 13 years apart from my brothers sisters and even more from my cousins.
I used to help our neighbor in Great Falls,MT clean & cut back those same mats. I was by myself with 4 kid's back in the day.. They loved helping & spending time with the animals.. Now I have 2 Firefighters, 1 that manages a Bank & 1 owns her store.. Amazing Kid's!!! You need some Gravel on to keep the mud down...
Eric, thanks for the video. Looking at the footage, your dad seems to be able to do most anything again. Good luck on the new mixer. Stay healthy and safe.
I’ve found the blade attachment on an oscillating tool is great for cutting long sections of foam or cardboard. Could be a good solution next time instead of a utility knife.
Loved the chocolate milk in the basketball. As always you show such great care for your animals.Looking forward to seeing the new mixer.Thanks for the great video.
Such great camera shots on the Triolet! May be silly but I love to watch the silage shredder. Thanks Eric for another great video. Sure do appreciate all the time you put into taking us along for the day.
Great awesome video Eric, out with the old mixer and in with the new one .I forgot to mention ever try a jaylor mixed they are extremely well built and all different sizes plus different discharging conveyers . We love ours we are on our second one
I did not see that coming. I was actually keen to see what would be in a basketball. Got me again! Never a dull moment at Eric's dairy barn . The calves really like to see you coming with the new bedding. Those mixers are such a wonderful invention. Good video 10GD. Peace.
I've noticed the same thing over many videos, it's like they both know exactly who has to hold what and where to go and when, doing all sorts of different jobs, no wonder they're able to get so much work done together!
Never thought of the chocolate milk being inside your ball! Top work Erik for getting that in there. Great work getting your mats sorted out. Look forward to seeing your new mixer wagon when she comes.
Thanks for the video! Why don’t you use your nicer JD or New Holland tractors for the mixer, especially in the winter months? Just to reduce the wear/tear/hrs?
Hey Eric my name is Noah and I also live on a dairy farm in Ontario Canada. I LOVE your videos and I just wanted to say Thanks you for showing me different ideas that I can use for my family’s farm!’
Try a carpet knife next time. They make them with replacement blades. They are extremely sharp and work better than the standard utility knife. Just ask my thumb it knows first hand. Another thing that may work easier is a linoleum knife. You have a great channel really enjoy watching. I used to work on a dairy farm in Northwest Pa.
The Trioliet 2-1200L mixer I use at the farm does the same thing with the screws. Sometimes, I have to get in there and shovel the screws off (off course, I take the tractor key with me so no one starts the machine!) It’s a pain in the rear...
I also didn't see the chocolate milk coming, I thought it would either be a Can of your favorite soda pop, or it was possibly small enough it could've been Scotty Pippen. Some really great camerawork this Video, I especially like the shot of you carving off some silage and the down angle from the feed wagon. Keep up the great work and have a great weekend.
Maybe on the new mixer you can put a cone on top of the mixer blade shaft, so nothing can accumulate. Something such as a couple of caps for compressed gas cylinders.
If you ever have to do that again try running a circular saw along to make the cuts. Can always run it along a board held down so you don't Nick the concrete. Bevel it a little so the tires don't hit and use an older blade.
You and your father work in concert so well. Everything was interesting to watch (as always) and reminds me of my childhood helping on Grandpa’s farm. At the end of this segment, I had a chuckle regarding the stop-n-go jerking to empty the feeder. It was a mini dinner theater for the cows while dining. 🙂
Just a suggestion, I have done this before, goes much better, easier on the hands, to use a circular saw. Just set the depth to the thickness of the mat, and lay a board under the mat. Very quick.
Manure at the rented barn....have an oven with a timer to shut off in the space u don't use. Cook (sterilize), dry, cut into brownie size cakes, vacuseal, set your price and it could be extra income. This fun for me on practicing my selling technique. Selling manure to a farmer. This is America and we have love for you.
Hi Dairyman, a tip for you when cutting rubber matting, if you wet the blade it will cut so much easier and quicker. Why cos you will reduce the friction on the blade also always use a brand new blade, Steve UK
Always good content, great camera angles & narrative. I was expecting a Mountain Dew in the basketball but glad to see you promoting MILK products. Thanks for sharing 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄
I worked with my dad for forty years and sometimes we wanted to strangle each other! And that he's gone all that I can really remember is how much we loved each other. Now I am working with my sons and thinking.....
I've got mayo mats. Cut a 2x4 and put under the mat just behind where you're going to cut then you can spread the crack easier and dig the knife in further. Saves a lot of time
Well now I'm all excited about seeing what the new feed mixer looks like. I also have to comment on the steel cover, I thought it was kind of humorous that you put the cardboard on the skid loader forks to protect something that's going to be covering a poo pit (yes I know there's another word that rhymes with pit) but I guess it'd be pointless to paint it then scrape the paint off with the forks.
Sometimes we think it’s all routine, but there’s always extra jobs like this that makes your hard work so much more appreciated, Every time I put cream in my coffee or any of the many times I use milk, butter or just snack on a piece of cheese I always think of you and all the outstanding farmers we have in America! I love all the veggie farmers too! Sometimes we forget how Blessed we are in the USA 🇺🇸 everyone please stay safe and stay awesome Eric!
Totally didn't see the chocolate milk coming this times. good laugh!!
I thought it would be a Mt Dew. Haven’t seen one of those pop up in a while. 😂
Same here. That was a good laugh.
me either, especially since he doesn't like the brown cows, haha, but do enjoy his humor

Eric, in cleaning the mats you got the cement cleaned off but there was still manure stuck to the bottom of the mat. Your work never ends...
There's manure stuck to everything on this farm.

Your dad definitely has some painting skills! That cover looks beautiful.
it feels so great seeing all the stuff cleaned out under the bedding. Satisfaction.

The cows were like, dude what are you doing!!
I know, right?! Soo FUN to watch them.
Your families attention to details is what has kept your operation going for ten generations. Keep up the good work.
Good one with the basketball!!! Great video
Thank you for your videos and what you do to feed America. I like the fact there's no music and all nature sounds. These are relaxing.
Where can I get one of those chocolate milk basket balls? Is this only a PA thing? lol... Eric - great stuff!
God bless America and God bless what you do to feed us. Thanks for sharing!
Another successful day on the farm. Wishing you an amazing weekend, Eric and family.

After watching your videos I always get out and work a little bit harder. Thanks for YOUR inspirational videos.

I was thinking a saws all might be safer and more efficient way to trim the mats.

That chocolate milk was precious. Well played. Even helped in making the shot
What a team! I work in a hockey rink. I do my share of rubber cutting. Straight edge and keep changing those blades.
Aww at 4:39 the calf hopped onto the shaving he shoved in, so cute
We do have 2 gears on our feed mixer but we still have to go backwards and forwards to get the last 100 kilo’s out
Great awesome video Eric, out with the old mixer and in with the new one .I forgot to mention ever try a jaylor mixed they are extremely well built and all different sizes plus different discharging conveyers . We love ours we are on our second one
We have the a 100 mixer for beef operation
I did not see that coming. I was actually keen to see what would be in a basketball. Got me again! Never a dull moment at Eric's dairy barn . The calves really like to see you coming with the new bedding. Those mixers are such a wonderful invention. Good video 10GD. Peace.
Thanks for sharing your day with us!
Lots of things go into farming cows, you sure go into details, thank you for the love. I love you and your cows keep up the good work . 🥰👍💋🐄🐄
Only 3m in and I just have to admire how you work so well with your dad.
I've noticed the same thing over many videos, it's like they both know exactly who has to hold what and where to go and when, doing all sorts of different jobs, no wonder they're able to get so much work done together!
@@kingcountyband Dad: mission accomplished
Your camera placements are awesome! Thanks for the creativity and preparation...I expect it's a lot of work.
Looks the like mats need to stretch in the width too
Eric, I was so interested to see what was inside the basketball😂
Never thought of the chocolate milk being inside your ball! Top work Erik for getting that in there. Great work getting your mats sorted out. Look forward to seeing your new mixer wagon when she comes.
Its funny to watch the cows at the three minute mark watching you and your father working.
Good morning 🌞 you and your dad are awesome working together lots hard work and always you and your dad be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Make the knive wet or put some old engine oil on it it will slide through the rubber like through butter
That’s a tip I’ll put away for future reference, thanks!
@@jamesmilos9909 hmmm...Noted.. Cover people in Engine oil before cutting them like fish !
I love it when you are working in the barn and you have a group of cows watching.
Y’all should add a step over the convader in the feed room instead of stepping over it and risk falling
Awesome video!!!!!!!!
YES!!! Beverage suprise. Loved it!!! Cant wait to see your new machine. Thank you for all you do.
You work well with your family 👪. Be safe at this time. Just take care.
Thanks for the video! Why don’t you use your nicer JD or New Holland tractors for the mixer, especially in the winter months? Just to reduce the wear/tear/hrs?
That, and older 2wd tractors are usually more manoeuvrable than modern 4wd tractors, so can get tighter to sheds.
Hey Eric my name is Noah and I also live on a dairy farm in Ontario Canada. I LOVE your videos and I just wanted to say Thanks you for showing me different ideas that I can use for my family’s farm!’
Good to see that your dad his shoulder is doing ok!! Always nice to work with your father!! Good 2021 for your family!!
You had me really wondering what was in the basket ball. 😅fantastic

Matt’s. Try saber saw next time. Special blade. No template needed. 2 inch blade runs along edge of bedding platform, along side of it.
I also didn't see the chocolate milk coming, I thought it would either be a Can of your favorite soda pop, or it was possibly small enough it could've been Scotty Pippen. Some really great camerawork this Video, I especially like the shot of you carving off some silage and the down angle from the feed wagon. Keep up the great work and have a great weekend.
Maybe on the new mixer you can put a cone on top of the mixer blade shaft, so nothing can accumulate.
Something such as a couple of caps for compressed gas cylinders.
When you get your new mixer put a ceramic coating on it, it will help prevent the feed from sticking to it.
I love watching the cows watching you guys working. Their curiosity is entertaining & sweet! Could binge watch your videos all day😊
Thanks for the video. Already looking forward to the next one.
If you ever have to do that again try running a circular saw along to make the cuts. Can always run it along a board held down so you don't Nick the concrete. Bevel it a little so the tires don't hit and use an older blade.
Glad you are going to get a new mixer. Can't wait to see it in action.
Can I suggest getting a couple of linoleum/vinyl flooring knives? They can be sharpened and used over and over again to cut the matting.
You have some very happy cows around there I imagine. Nice work
You and your father work in concert so well. Everything was interesting to watch (as always) and reminds me of my childhood helping on Grandpa’s farm. At the end of this segment, I had a chuckle regarding the stop-n-go jerking to empty the feeder. It was a mini dinner theater for the cows while dining. 🙂
Look at all those curious cows just watching you work.
Just a suggestion, I have done this before, goes much better, easier on the hands, to use a circular saw. Just set the depth to the thickness of the mat, and lay a board under the mat. Very quick.
Look at getting a jaylor mixer, won’t be disappointed, we have one and love it
I thought there was going to be a Mountain Dew in the basketball. Nice to see you bringing back the surprise beverage.

Was sure that it was going to be a pop in the basketball, but milk works too!! Keep up with the vids!
The cow food shredder looks a little dangerous.
But it can come in handy against intruders.
Always good content, great camera angles & narrative. I was expecting a Mountain Dew in the basketball but glad to see you promoting MILK products. Thanks for sharing 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄
Great video as always Eric. A skilsaw might have been more efficient for trimming those mats back.
A full day of what you do on the farm
Man-working right next to your old man everyday is both irritating at times and absolutely awesome at times. Cherish it all! I wish I would have more!
I worked with my dad for forty years and sometimes we wanted to strangle each other! And that he's gone all that I can really remember is how much we loved each other. Now I am working with my sons and thinking.....
missed the chocolate milk been awhile :)
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
YES, finally the drink jokes are back!
I loved the shot from the top of the bunker. Nice perspective!
So much work. God bless
It's funny watching the cows, they just keep an eye on you guys to see what you are doing to their beds..
Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing the notifications for ur videos on my phone
the amount of care you show for your animals is awesome...happy cows make happy milk...good man
Great video. Loved the cleaning under mats, choc milk, and rest. Ty.
Great stuff, hard workers all of you.
I've got mayo mats. Cut a 2x4 and put under the mat just behind where you're going to cut then you can spread the crack easier and dig the knife in further. Saves a lot of time
huge respect for these young men.

I really enjoy your channel, Eric. Funny clip with the chocolate milk in the basketball...
The "What's Inside" Family are losing their shit right now. Probably yelling "that's our thing on youtube!"
Funny. The cows standing behind ya'll are just watching so intently.
Never been here this early for one of your videos, considering I’m in Australia. I remember watching the videos of you installing those mats.
At the feedlot that I work at we don’t use bunkers we just pile The corn silage don’t use any oxygen Barrier plastic
You should walk your cows more often, they looked so happy and jumpy getting some exercise! :)
