Playing in the Mud/Dairy Farm Chores in the Rain
Вставка

- Bundle up, this video is a wet, cold, and mucky one. April showers are causing a healthy crop of mud on the farm. The mud of course creates a few challenges during our daily chores. The Gehl skid steer found a soft spot and preceded to get stuck. Alan quickly feeds the cows some hay in the barn before he heads out to get the skid steer unstuck. After that, he then manages to free the skid steer. Our young stock also needs some hay, so he enlists the help of the Case 830. Our only hope is that these April showers will eventually bring May flowers.

You do the best you can with the resources at hand. Judgement is easy when one isn't walking in another's shoes. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your video Alan, I'm glad you got the skid steer out of the mud, I remember years ago my neighbor either had a Case 830 or 930 he used with the rear mounted fork hauling Hay, thanks for sharing this video
Ya'll do a fine job! And your animals are definitely well cared for! 🐄🐃🐂 take care and try to stay dry 😊
You guys do what you have to with YOUR cows. The haters don't understand the real world! God Bless you and yours!
Most people don’t realize that cattle are more healthy outside,no matter what the weather is,I have work on area farms here in Vermont for over 35 years Alan, I know what you are talking about
Allan I have said this before. Your cows are some of the tamest happiest cows I have seen. I worked for a dairy in Tillamook in my youth and that old farmer was meaner than all heck to his cows and they were always skittish in the milking parlor. You know they need a mix of barn and pasture time. Great video.
The people that say why keep them in a barn. Why keep them outside.. don't worry about them . They are just uneducated about what it takes and what's best for a farm. Not every farm operates the same.. But this is why we need channels like this . To educate and what works for you works for you... God bless you and your family 🙏
Till everyone else figures out a better solution with the pay farmers get, let the nay sayers eat hay with the heifers and hold the umbrella for them too! Keep doing what you're doing.
People who say that never seeing a cow in person, the same ones dress up dogs named Roger!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
You do it just fine ! Don't bother with these haters . You are a skilled and hardworking farmer who cares about your animals . We who know we know 😉 Thanks for yet another nice but rainy video . Greetings from Sweden 🐮
I like how you put that, "I'm going to do what I always do...." When you know, you know.... I'm in solid support, it's what most of us do.
There are haters everywhere. Just do what you do best and ignore them. God bless!!!!!
Loved it , and down with the haters you keep doing what your doing . The truth of the matter is alot of them haters have never ever raised up any kind of farm animals only dogs , cats , gerbils , and hamsters 🤣
Miserable weather...but its all in the life of a farmer. All the criticizers ought to walk a day in our boots!!! Sometimes life seems to throw us challenges, but all we can do is rely on Our Lord and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin and move on.
Perseverance I must say ❤ Blessings 😊
The cows seem happy to stay inside, rain no rain life must go on, right? Good video!
Just a typical spring day on the farm. Great video Trinity Dairy. Hope you dry up soon.
Keep doing what you do and enjoy it thats one of my biggest reasons to become a dairyfarmer for 30 years ago and still milk my cows 7days a week, just saying anyways thanks for the video and have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Always love seeing the cows. Thanks for the video
I love and support your farming methods.
The 3 seasons of farming. Snow, mud and dust. The way the weather has been, I wouldn't take the chains off until the middle of May. We had hail here on Wednesday that you could have used that blower on. People were using plows to clear it. Sunny days are ahead. Stay safe, and God bless.
Oh we all love the spring time mud. Keep doing what you do brother and God Bless
It's the mud season for sure. We got 6 inches of snow on the mud now. Not much of a spring yet.
Spreading good straw bales on mud to try to reduce ruts.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Call it a soil building experiment. 🤔
when your a farmer you do what you have to, the average person has no idea what farming is it's tough
You're a good man just keep feeding the cows
Your doing a great job. Cattle love it outdoors.
Keep those bellies full an they can stand threw any weather😊
A cheap set of skid steer tracks would be good for the regular spring/fall mud seasons
I had a city friend when I was a kid who always said he loved Spring and Fall ... I just remember Winter, Summer, and Mud.
Dont miss them days
Don’t worry about the haters,they are all unemployed and nothing to do but find fault with others .God bless .
This weather is no joke! If we are Blessed with a sunny, warm day soon, I will be so thankful. You can't do anything without rutting up the yard! I feel your pain.
It would amaze me when I would bed heifers inside the shed how many of them would still lay outside even below zero and some wind.
The winter that will not die!!!
Alan you have to do what works out the best for you on your farm. You are doing great. GOD BLESS you and hope the rain let's up for you.
Cattle can have more health problems in a barn than they do outside
You are doing a great job. God Bless. 😊
Good video, always hated having to workin the rain, but that’s the way it goes.
i was surprised to see you and Jen on our local news channel 11 from green bay wi.yesterday on your interview on you dumping milk
Oh wow!! I thought it was just going to be on our local news. That's crazy!
Another great video and always something to learn. I live in the city and i don’t know what’s the right thing to say about how you do your cattle. To me in my opinion I think you do an amazing job with them and even though there in the elements you know better then most what is good for your cows. So keep up the good job and keep doing what you gotta do. God bless you and family!!!!!
My cows are in the mud as well they are just beefers, but they find dry ground. Makes them hardy. They have shelter but they would rather not be in it. From western wi thanks for your videos.
My beef cattle prefer too stay out in the elements versus going in the barn unless it's a really bad storm or shade certain times of day. Side note I've been around cattle just about my whole life (my grandfather's, the neighbors and farms I've worked for) I've had my own off & on since the age of 14 I'm 48 now
good stuff Alan, every day goinns on on the farm, good to see
Hey hey don't worry about the cows...worry that you'll get cold/sick since you're not wearing the hood over your hood and it's gettng all wet..LOL.
It's amazing how hey can be used in so many ways...stay warm&dry..
Another very interesting video Thank you
I've done that old trick referred to as push me out with the fork trick many a Time feeding cows don't miss those days that was before I had a loader tractor now I'm all concrete with a manure pit that makes it a lot easier
Yeah, the concrete is nice!
Wet,muddy, nasty. Birds chirping in the background. Welcome to the north.
Look like so cool.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. video . Mississippi River Very High water in Southern Wisconsin
i had free stalls and fed my cows out side and in the dead of winter i would always have out of 55 cows 4 to 9 would go lay around the feeders. like my cousin 30 degrees out and he is wearing shorts but NOT me
Tis the season for the wellington boot for sure. Great time to have a manure lagoon I'm sure.
Alan some yrs back I was ask if I brought my cattle in the house on a cold night. They were serious !
Very good job and God bless yall
I don't hate yo yor doing good job
The joys of farming in the mud 😕🤣🤣. A farmer will never be able to please everyone that knows nothing about farming.
Great video as always. I always enjoy them.
As you said, Haters are going to hate. So you do what you can do and you do it well. Your cows always look great to me. I have even seen Jennifer brushing or combing them down which is so neat. Working driving bus is not always a very fun way to go, but I would bet you enjoy it. Keep on keeping on and hope the weather gets better. Take Care.
Way to stay positive Alan. Thanks for sharing with us. Best wishes, Deb
Mud mud and more mud. Hope you can get a break from the rain for a few days. Looking forward to hay/ planting season.
Sure nice to be able to work inside in this weather. You work so hard in bad conditions. I always said farming was twice as hard in freezing conditions. Everyone wants to farm when it is easy.
Working in the rain and cold is NOT my favorite thing to do for sure. Gotta do what ya gotta do.
What others think of how you do things doesn't matter. You be you ! Good day in the mud !
Ah I knew why I liked your channel... a bus driver huh I was too
Alan, people who make negative comments about how you care for your cows are usually both ignorant and uniformed. The fact is if you mistreated your cows you wouldn’t have an income. The problem with social media is everyone has a platform to make comments. Whether or not those comments are based on facts is quite another story. My uncle
Was a dairyman in Cuba, NY. He drove bus for the Cuba ISD for over 30 years.
👀🙄🐾👍 Great video A&J on the hole Farmers can't win with Joe public
I bought chains for my skidloader and got so spoiled that I leave them on year round
Alan you are so correct about your cattle be in the pasture or tied in the barn. There will always be haters out in the world from somebody who grew up on a farm
Love your video
We had a nice pole barn for our heifers and they would stand out in the freezing rain anyway !
It is definitely mud season. People don't understand that cattle can take all kinds of weather.
Maybe a company that makes clamp on bale spears will send you one to demo.
You will have to fix up a windshield wiper on that great ole case
Mud season gotta be the worst. We had mud most of winter in pa. Keep your chin up. Some people are clueless. Do what you think is best. Keep up good work 👍
Allan you need a set of tire chains for your skid loader. That will make a huge difference in the mud and snow. Put them on the back. God bless
I've got chains on the old one, but never found them to be much help in the mud.
Good video… team of horses would have yanked them bales out like nobody’s business
Better for cattle to be outside than in a steamy building
Maybe the auction will have over tire tracks?!
I'm really kicking myself, right after I bought that machine I found a set of tracks for sale, right here in town, and I didn't buy them.
Good for you doing what you do. Slow start to spring. Did you get any snow?
More rain than snow
I worked for one farmer He welded a plate on the top part of the bucket Made It So you could put a four foot pole with a pin till the bucket so it is level it worked great He like 150 beef cows and calls
Is there any pasture maintenance that gets done occasionally? I've seen some that went years where the burdocks are 8 ft and there's a lot of multifloral rose and other nonsense. Does that get disc and new seeding once a decade? All my family made the stuff that was too hilly for equipment the pasture so it was pretty much whatever was out there.
That pasture has been worked and seeded in the past, but it should be done again, the rest of our pasture, isn't able to be tilled.
Thnks for showing your faith...dont be shy about that...PLSE
Your in Mud and here in Virginia its a drought. We did get a 1/2" thunderstorm today which helped some.
You keep doing what you're doing.
Just tell the haters to leave you alone and put the wild life in side in bad weather that will keep them busy
Damed if you do damed if you don't all can do is your best
thank you
You meanie love your videos keep up the good work
Let haters just hate! Milk and beef comes from farms! Maybe they need to hug a rock and see how that works for breakfast!
Are you gonna be at the auction this Saturday in rock creek!?
Yeah
👍
with the land that you have would it be a good idea to grow vegetables and have a farm stand for more income, i see more armers are doing this
Jen has chickens that she sells eggs and chickens, and all of our Angus cross calves are sold for extra income. We pretty much keep all the veggies we grow or share them with struggling families at our church. There is a large farmers market in our area, but it's expensive to pay to have a booth there.
@@trinitydairy there are a few farmers that are having a bad time of it this year, some to much water and some no water farming is not easy i know we had a farm
I farmed and drove bus for twenty four years. When my son came back to the farm about five years ago my wife and son hanged up on me and said to retire. I almost made it to seventy. I loved driving bus and they paid me to do it. I do remember a few kids that I wanted to throw threw the window without opening it. Lolololo.
Maybe throw some tracks on the Gehl.
Yeah, I would like to get a set of tracks for it.
learned a long time ago ya cant please any of them most dont know anything about farming so i just ignore them
Did the milk truck get therre
Yes he did!
I think you're need to leave them chains on running around in that muck. Those skid loaders are pretty helpless in mud. I put metal tracks on mine about ten years ago. It go about anywhere now.
Mud season is the most miserable time to work in.
Great video and yes you are damned if you do and Damned if you don't. You need to put chains or tracks on that skit steer! I do see others with them.
When working in that wet stuff is just plain nasty and chills you too the bone.
Some idiot that knows nothing about agriculture is always going to tell you what you are doing wrong. It is something you need to learn to live with.
I think it's time to upgrade the tires
Do your children plan on being farmers?
Justin wants to have a beef herd. Jordan would like to stay on the farm. The other 3 are pretty up in the air.
