Can be real hard to keep small diameter hoses from freezing like that! I was working a job once and it was about -35C outside. We had our pumps in the building but had to run hoses outside. If the pumps stopped working even for a minute the hoses would freeze solid and we’d have to drag them all in and thaw them out. Great video Eric! Happy New Year to you and the family!
I love the calf jacket warmers! Rather than trying to heat up a whole building in the winter months. I really appreciated the verse you posted at the end of this video. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. And I wish you & yours a successful & Happy New Year!
Those water issues are just a pain, however that's the way it goes for a cattle farmer. We have an in-ground concrete waterer, it has a float system to refill with a 2" rectangle Styrofoam attached to the shutoff. When it gets cold we have valves on both sides to turn on to whatever the need is for the outside temps. During the week of Christmas we had -6 with a windchill of around -30, water didn't freeze. Liked the video, thanks for sharing, hope you have a great weekend and Happy New Year.
Nice video, thanks. The cold reminds me of why I left Ohio, but I'm in the mountains of southeast Arizona which aren't real high. It gets cold but not much below 32F occasionally. The summer is hot hot hot.
Steady Eddie here Eric...🖐 Merry Christmas to you and your growing family. I drink milk every day. Love your short but very informative videos. You and your dad get a lot done in one day along with completing chores. God Bless and Happy New Year
I live in north central Iowa and every winter we have a couple weeks that get down to -20 at some point during the winter. I farrow to finish pigs on pasture. I also have a Jersey family milk cow. For the large group of feeder pigs and the cow and her yearling heifer I use troughs with a tank heaters and then just drain the hose after filling the troughs twice a day. Water is more work in the winter but I’m not rotationally grazing in the winter. In the summer water is easy but there’s more work rotationally grazing.
Really informative video. So very much to do on a dairy Farm, you and your Dad make it look easy! I know it's not though, for sure. But so worth it! Hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas and now Have a Happy New Year too!. Oh the ice tubes coming out of the hose was pretty cool looking! Stay Warm!!
I’m impressed Eric that you always pay attention to the weather, & then take the appropriate course of action, be it cutting hay or protecting against the cold as in this case. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Wishing you & your family health & happiness in 2023.
New house is going to be beautiful. Freezing water is always a huge problem. Take care. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very Happy New Year. 2023.
It was so cold even down here in the deep south. Where I live it got down to 18. I did not go outside but just a couple of times and it was horrible. Merry Christmas and I wish nothing but the best for you, your farm, and family in 2023.
You might want to think about using some rigid insulation on your basement floor. The plastic helps but insulation changes heat loss. Having a couple floor drains can be helpful. Something odd about a milk company giving a (10th generation) dairy farmer samples of milk, considering the 1000's of gallons you work around every day. But, you like it so there's that! Thanks for making these vids, I enjoy them. God's goodness to you all through the new year.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. I enjoyed my latte these last several mornings thanks to hard working dairy farmers like yourself. Oh, and never mind the milk and cheese in the Au Gratin batch of spuds I brought to Christmas dinner. Great vid as always. In re the hose freezing up: I've seen where Our Wyoming Life has heated hoses on his ranch to keep them from freezing up. Might be something to check into.
Thank you Mr Eric for your continuous hard work of doing your job and video these shows for us!! God bless you and your family!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🙌🙌 🎆
May God bless you and your family in the coming year. Thanks for all the videos this past year, and for all of your hard work! I give thanks every day for farmers, especially dairy farmers because I love milk! Oh, and God bless the cows as well! 🐄😋
Your house is coming along. It's nice to have family in construction and get a discount. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Can't wait to see what happens next in 2023, may it be a blessed year. God loves you, and I see it in your heart ❤️.
Happy New Year ...9th, 10th, and 11th gen dairy peeps! Curious...do the cows get "agitated" or confused when fireworks start poppin' around holidays...as many dogs/cats do? Any word from Lely yet? Thank ya'll for dairy farmin', feedin', and fixin' 🇺🇸 !
Mate, merry Christmas from the other side of the world. I'm not a Christian but I really respect your work and your relationship to your faith. May you and your family have a happy new year and please keep up the videos, they're great.
Sturdybuilt usually has a hole on their hinges on the upper pin. You can put a spring pin, cotter key, nail, or something similar to keep them from lifting the gates off.
Hope you had a great Christmas. Happy New Year to you, your Dad and both of your families. I saw on another video that a family with horses, put gallon bottles of salt water in there outside water troughs to keep them from freezing. Just a thought. Stay safe.
Those round pieces of ice coming out of the hose were cool. (No pun intended.) Thank You for the Scripture verse. Have a Happy New Year.
Thanks for sharing that scripture verse, the hinge of all history is on the door of the Bethlehem stable.
The cows watched Pirates of the Caribbean, they know those were Half barrel hinges.

Happy New year 10 gen farmer. From the imperial county California.
Our family has enjoyed watching yours this year, thank you for sharing.
Wonderful scripture, thanks for sharing
Merry Christmas and Happy New year Eric and family and Gods peace to all who reads this
This shows people that farmers do work hard. I don’t know to many 9 to 5rs going to their office jobs on Christmas Day. 👍🏻
Amen on your scripture Matthew 1:21
7:24 That’s some mighty hard water you have there! Another great video.
we fed in 35 below and a white out two days this week. that barn looks toasty
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

That basement is bigger than my garden haha. Plenty of room for activities 😁
Great video and great news of our Saviour. God bless and keep you all
Stock tank heater should be plugged in to a GFCI receptacle or on a circuit with a GFI breaker.
the memories this brings back to simpler and enjoyable time in my life, I'm 60, I grew up doing this exact thing.
It was so cold even down here in the deep south. Where I live it got down to 18. I did not go outside but just a couple of times and it was horrible. Merry Christmas and I wish nothing but the best for you, your farm, and family in 2023.
Thanks Eric, you too merry Chrismas

HAPPY NEW YEAR from Maine.
Merry Christmas Eric, God bless you and your family. And a Happy New Year!
That cold weather sucked. It snowed here too and I couldn't get my skid steer running to plow my driveway.

the poly under the concrete basement floor is to keep ground moisture and radon gas from permeating into your basement.
Hi Eric hopping you and your family a safe and prosperous new year. Keep coming with your awesome videos I truly enjoy them. Take care.
I'm easily entertained, rather enjoyed watching the ice flow from the hose.
If Niagara Falls can freeze over what chance has a half inch hose got
Merry Christmas 🎅 Blessings of the New Year ✨️
