Dairy farmers have such a cool and collected personality. I've never met one that is a hothead or comes off as arrogant. The hard work they all put in is truly humbling.
Great video Eric , sure nice you can load those cows and heifers so easy without having to use a load alley or panels , just a open pen and the trailer gate , that's nice calm cattle and folks that know how to move and work cattle! ✅
I was like man he could jump he’s in the wrong profession then you reveal what’s really going on,, love your channel keep it up I’m a long time Subscriber
Interesting, I've never watched a Dairy Farm before, but I enjoy yours. I watch other farmers & how much farming has changed over the years since my grandfather farmed. Thank you for taking the time and making video's.
It's so nice to know that farmers can focus on providing food for everyone instead of having to be a welder, mechanic, carpenter, veterinarian and a film editor.
Great Videos. I responded before. I grew up on a Dairy and now work as a Boeing Engineer (41) years. We are working from home now and staying in house. Just had a friend at Church that died from Coronas Virus. My wife serves dinner at the church before prayer meeting and she just served him and his wife two weeks ago. Also another blind lady from church just e-mailed me to say she is really sick and got it from riding on the Special Needs Bus and that there are now 4 Drivers how are affected. Really appreciate the excellent service you provide to all of us who are shut in our houses.
A very fun video! Loved the basketball segment, I’m suffering withdrawal from B1G teams so thank you for thinking of all of us. And as always I am so grateful for dairy farmers - thank you for all you do for us. Stay safe out there!
I love your dry sense of humor! You did much better with that torch than most. The secret is in the set up. Not a bad looking left handed shot. Dairy Farmers can't jump? Keep them coming!
A tip for when using the torch would be to not have it at such a forward pushing angle, you can just have it straight up and down as you are moving forward. Keep up the great content!
Body position is what messed him up the most here I would say, if he had moved around and rested his right elbow on the plate being cut and placed his feet further apart to brace himself it would have been better for him.
Matthew Geib that may be the way you were taught, but I was always told to angle the torch head towards the steel to be cut. It heats the steel up making cut easier. If you look at his first cut and second cut you can see the difference in the cuts. The second cut is cleaner. No disrespect intended to you👍👍
Budd 56 Agreed. I think that it is just easier to keep the torch in a straight line as well as I think that it doesn’t leave as much slag material on the bottom side of what you are cutting when you keep it vertical.
Also, if you rest a length of angle or bar just off the line you're cutting you can "rest" the tip of the torch against it while cutting. It provides a cleaner cut with less clean up afterwards.
You make me miss our Dairy in Minnesota so much I love our life and our animals so much. I learned young to weld and loved acetylene best. I did better on it than electric but like wire welding too. As the oldest girl out of four I became my dad's right hand. That was ok I learned a lot. Your doing good it just takes time! I liked it because I didn't have to admit I broke it! Until after it was fixed! You have a beautiful operation your family has built up through the years to pass on down to your children some day. From a proud farmers daughter and mother!👍💜
I'm new to your channel and really enjoying your videos. It's been 50 years since I've been on the farm and lately wondering why I ever left. But these videos are making me remember much as well as seeing how much dairy farming has changed in the last 50 years! Love this channel! My mother's family were dairy farmers in upstate NY since the 1600s and England before that. Sadly, most of my uncles gave it up and went to work for GE but I still treasure the memories of the one uncle's farm that didn't.
Your an inspiration to the younger folk and a heart felt appreciation from us older folks who take pride in knowing that the art of dairy farming is not lost. Keep up the excellent work.
Hey Eric!. . .love the cute play on "March Gladness". As a lifetime Music Minister, we love songs of joy and gladness. Found a verse of gladness for you: "Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your [Mountain Dew] with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do." (Ecclesiastes 9:7) Cool verse; and I think the insertion is an acceptable translation since it's a drink that brings you joy whenever you find it. 12:56 HaHa :D Nice shooting. You had us fooled with those dunk shots. I thought, “Man, Eric must be much taller than I’d guess. Thanks again for another fun video!
Hey Eric I grew up in a farm in the 70s with the same set up as your farm back at my country. I can still remember the smell when cleaning the pens. Keep up the great work...
People have no idea how much work goes into farming. Especially dairy farming. The fact that you video it, edit the video, then upload it with all the narration? Badass man. Badass. Oh yeah and milking at 4a is 365 days a year.
Clamp angle iron on plate just off the line. Run touch tight along the angle 90 degrees to the plate. Nice straight clean cut! You young guys are steadier then me, nicer job. Keep up the good work and be safe. Some times when you slow down, things will go faster.
Wow, that first torch cut complete free hand, elbow not leaning on nothing. Was straight as an arrow! Love seeing a guy stick weld. It’s how I started, that’s where the fundamentals are located. There’ll be a mig and a plasma cutter in there soon:-)
just a helpful tip... take a straight edge / anything straight really.. and run your torch down that so its a straighter line and easier to follow... will make your life a lot simpler... love the videos... keep it up...!
Next I wanna see you do a 360 around the back between the legs reverse double pump alley oop windmill from the 3-point line... 😁 Excellent channel. Keep up the good work.
Creating your own March Madness I like that idea!! Lol 😂 March gladness good to see it come and good to see it go Great video Oh and Eric, you clean up very nicely😊
Tip on welding cracks. Drill a small hole on each end of the crack. A straight edge for your torch. Like 1"x 1" square solid shaft. Angle iron works great you can either clamp it or use magnets. Great job on the video. I'd give my right arm away to be your age..... Thanks for sharing and I see your liking your side by side.
I think you did a fine job, I like your metal bending technique! Nice B ball skilz too! Thanks for another fine farming adventure on your dairy, stay safe and please don’t burn the barn down 😂
I GOT the same problem on my JCB 403 the bucket got cracks and holes so i took some sheetmetall and welded the whole plate to the bucket and it fitted Perfect. Keep up the good work
For Cutting with a torch keep the tip of the torch pointing straight down so it blows out more of the slag and slow down a little. Than you will have less to grind. Keep up the awesome videos!!!
@@davidhanner9685 Not true at all, profile cutters are set vertical and if the person running it knows what they are doing there isn't any slag at all.
That was the most topics ever in a farm vlog - Clothes shopping, Milking, Selling off part of the herd, Welding (well done by the way) Scraping, Basketball, & Feeding . I did notice that the cows were UPSET about the late feeding while you shot some hoops. Very entertaining vlog 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄
Whenever you have a crack, take your grinder and "V" it out and then drill a hole right at both ends of the crack before welding. This will help stop the crack from opening back up on you. Good work for someone with not a lot of practice with a Torch!

Please stay safe. These are real tough times. I am praying for all you hard working wonderful farmers.
I was like man he could jump he’s in the wrong profession then you reveal what’s really going on,, love your channel keep it up I’m a long time Subscriber
This would be nice to do during quarantine
We all could learn something from you. Good job young man. 🇺🇲

Great video Eric! Lots of variety, humor and basket ball. What more could we ask for!
Out of all the dairy farming vids on UA-cam, yours are my favourite! Keep up the good work 👍
Great video! Your channel is my favorite farming channel on UA-cam.
A very fun video! Loved the basketball segment, I’m suffering withdrawal from B1G teams so thank you for thinking of all of us. And as always I am so grateful for dairy farmers - thank you for all you do for us. Stay safe out there!
As they say, “a grinder and paint can make you the welder you ain’t”! Great video as always
As someone who has spent hours teaching myself to weld i agree, and as long as its strong and does the job, im happy.
I love your dry sense of humor! You did much better with that torch than most. The secret is in the set up. Not a bad looking left handed shot. Dairy Farmers can't jump? Keep them coming!
I have much respect you and your Familey
Thank you for taking care of us

I'm so stressed out with all the work YOU have to do everyday! You all are truly amazing, and thank you for the job you do to keep America Dairitized!
This is what I like about you Eric you're so natural you always have it under control you did a good job fixing the bucket thank you for the video 👍🇺🇸
153 thousand!!! Can you believe it! Very entertaining videos, and informative.
I REALLY like the way you keep your girls clean and comfortable. If I were a cow, I’d like to live at your farm.
Nice work on the bucket! Ours needs that done too.
Thanks, Leg arms should have been here to show me how it's really done
Weaker farms now 10 Generation dairy man
I am learning a bit of what it takes to get milk to the grocery store. Respect for the hard work.
How did I get here and why am I binge watching all your videos!!??? Love the videos, and love seeing someone take pride in what they do!

I am a new fan. I lived on a dairy farm 67 years ago

You had me at March Mad.... wait a second!

Clamp angle iron on plate just off the line. Run touch tight along the angle 90 degrees to the plate. Nice straight clean cut! You young guys are steadier then me, nicer job. Keep up the good work and be safe. Some times when you slow down, things will go faster.

Those cows are so lucky. Keep up the great work. You’re a natural. Introduce your milking assistant someday. She’s looks so industrious. Thanks. 😁

It’s always nice getting new toys
How did I miss this? Only saw it today coz UA-cam recommended it. Keep up the good work
hey boss love you videos and keep up the good work
Wow, that first torch cut complete free hand, elbow not leaning on nothing. Was straight as an arrow! Love seeing a guy stick weld. It’s how I started, that’s where the fundamentals are located. There’ll be a mig and a plasma cutter in there soon:-)
Lovin your channel all the way from Woodstock Ontario Canada , Keep up the good work man
YOUR WELDS ARE IMPROVING. GOOD JOB!
Love your new jeans and boots!
Thank you for my March Madness fix!!
That is some old school steel work, great job Eric!
Your welding skills look great and practice will make perfect
Gold standard milking procedures, clean cows and clean parlour - nice job !! There is a half a days work every place you look on a farm.
Не понимаю ни слова , а смотрю на одном дыхании ! Молодца , интересные видео !!!🖒🖒🖒
just a helpful tip... take a straight edge / anything straight really.. and run your torch down that so its a straighter line and easier to follow... will make your life a lot simpler... love the videos... keep it up...!
Satisfying to see the slack fly from that weld! Nice job!
Next I wanna see you do a 360 around the back between the legs reverse double pump alley oop windmill from the 3-point line... 😁
Excellent channel. Keep up the good work.
Creating your own March Madness I like that idea!! Lol 😂 March gladness good to see it come and good to see it go Great video Oh and Eric, you clean up very nicely😊

Great video as usual.
Your dad better be proud of you; you work way to hard!
Love the video. Keep them coming
#1 fan of yours from India
Enjoyed this video !!!! THANKS
I think you did a fine job, I like your metal bending technique! Nice B ball skilz too! Thanks for another fine farming adventure on your dairy, stay safe and please don’t burn the barn down 😂
When you were putting the torch together I was expecting you to say, "we need more teflon tape!" Then remembered which channel I was watching!!😂😂😂😂
third drawer down
LOL
For the first time using a torch I’d say u did a awsome job cutting straight
I GOT the same problem on my JCB 403 the bucket got cracks and holes so i took some sheetmetall and welded the whole plate to the bucket and it fitted Perfect. Keep up the good work
For Cutting with a torch keep the tip of the torch pointing straight down so it blows out more of the slag and slow down a little. Than you will have less to grind. Keep up the awesome videos!!!
you point the tip in the direction that you are cutting pointing straight down is what leaves all thee slag
@@davidhanner9685 Not true at all, profile cutters are set vertical and if the person running it knows what they are doing there isn't any slag at all.
I tip toward the direction I’m cutting.. from my experience closer to material cleaner cut less slag. Further away more slag over extended cut..
Thanks for March Madness, live from an overturned barrel in Pennsylvania 😂
u a good welder.....good commentator too.....kudos.....good job
That was the most topics ever in a farm vlog - Clothes shopping, Milking, Selling off part of the herd, Welding (well done by the way) Scraping, Basketball, & Feeding . I did notice that the cows were UPSET about the late feeding while you shot some hoops. Very entertaining vlog 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄 🐄
Really enjoy livestock videos, yours and Sonne Farms are my favorites
Whenever you have a crack, take your grinder and "V" it out and then drill a hole right at both ends of the crack before welding. This will help stop the crack from opening back up on you. Good work for someone with not a lot of practice with a Torch!
They do the same thing on airframes for older planes
Doesn't matter what the weld looks like as long as it holds 💪 brilliant video
