    I'm really glad you decided to leave out the crappy filler music most people use for vlogs, it's really nice to hear the sounds of the work/farm. The random cow moo, is my favorite gets me everytime! It's nice and I'm surprised how much better it works.

    I'm not a dairy farmer but I help my buddy's out with their Silage fields every summer, I sure do respect the hard work you guys put in.

    My dad says he used to carry calves about a mile down the road in the back seat of his 56 ford convertible. Top down of course. He said they never wanted to get in at the start but then they wouldn't get out at the end. I guess even cows like a nice car ride.

    I like rewatching Eric's videos. It's amazing how things have changed in just two years. Since this video they've replaced their bigger NH skid steer with a Kubota skid steer. They Sold the big MF tractor and liquid manure spreader, sold the Blue NH tractor and replaced it with another JD. They replaced the feed mixer, the sprayer and I believe solid manure spreader. They've built a new heifer barn and tore down the old one and have done other stuff like installing giant ceiling fans in the milking parlor an the new barn. The channel has I believe more than double the # of subscribers and Eric also has his own line of merch. I'm writing all this because I'm impatiently waiting for his next video to see how the barn extension is coming so I'm watching old videos again.

    For some reason watching the work that goes in to farms is something nostalgic, though I have no farmers in my family. I have to say, I started watching a different farm channel on YT a while back (Larson Farms) and find their channel highly entertaining as well, it sure seems dairy farming is about 100 times more work than strictly crop farming! Thanks for all you do! I know my family LOVES milk!

    Just a quick tip on Stubborn bolts that are rounded off. Little trick if you don’t know it is to take a larger nut that will fit over the one your trying to remove. Then with your welder, weld the inside of the nut to the head of the rounded off one. Let weld cool complete then you have a good head of the nut to remove the old blot with wrench.
