    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful for all of you who watch, I'm amazed how much this channel has grown in a year.

    • @FlyingAl2006

      Its a nice channel and honestly I think it gives some people hope that the next generation isn't as messed up as we sometimes think it is. It's refreshing to see such an awesome work ethic and family support. Above and beyond that, it's just interesting to see how much work it takes to help put food on our tables and I hope your channel helps people to realize how valuable all of you farmers are and how much you feed the world. Just out of curiosity, I am wondering what age you are and when you knew you wanted to continue the family business ??

      Also, would love to see more about what is done with the milk after you have milked the cows. Do you get a truck daily and do you ever get to see how it is processed once it leaves the farm ???

      Reciprocated to you, your family, friends and neighbors who do so much in farming for so many. You endure much work, hardships and stress others will never appreciate. It sickens me to know of drones instead of worker bees in the beehive of life. Work hard and hard work will be its own reward.

      I grew up on a grain farm and we had actual time off after harvest. My cousin grew up as a dairy farmer, his family never had any time off and after watching these videos I think we all know why now.

    I really appreciate your videos. I grew up on a cattle ranch in Colorado and miss the work. It’s all work at some time, but your videos are great. I’m a Neurosurgeon now, and watching you and your attitude is refreshing. I work daily, with people who view their jobs as far more drudgery. Thanks for taking the time and I wish you, your family, and your dairy well.

      This isn't farming per se but Hoof GP out of Scotland recommended this channel and he's also an excellent follow plus he's got a drone so you get to be envious of the rolling fields of Scotland.

    482 is a happy cow,1st in 1st out. Same thing when i milked a very long time ago,had a cow who always came in with 2nd string and always had 1st stall and always turned her head back and looked at me every time.. oh the memories of milking days.

    @workinghard1959 4 года назад

    Nice dairy operation. It's obvious you guys make it a priority to provide cow comfort and take pride in it. That's the first time I've actually seen a water bed in operation. Just a thought, if you have the feed ready for the cows as they exit out of dairy parlor it should help with mastitis cases as they will go directly to the mangers to eat which will allow their teat sphincters to close before laying down. It would also give the cows more opportunity for rest time. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy them!

    I love the fact your cows get to spend at least some of their lives at pasture. We live 1/4 mile from a dairy farm, not one calf, heifer, or cow has ever spent anytime outside that barn complex since it was built, 30 or so years ago.
