It's obvious once again that you care very much about the welfare and comfort of the cows, and you're not afraid to change something if you think it will improve the situation even more. Nice also to see you providing employment for young people like Ethan.

Your farm has got to be the ONLY farm with pretty cows. I mean, they are like SUPER clean, as I know their comfort is YOUR top priority. I am always impressed with how humane you treat your cows.

Two things... I'll echo all the comments on how much you take care of your cows and things like this. The second thing I think is really great about your videos is you show the every day things you do. This is not glamorous, scraping, wrestling the mats into place, but is the every day things and I appreciate you talking about them and showing them

Ryan S how often do milk cows need hoof trimming? I would think that would be a big operation for an entire dairy. I’ve been around horse farriers and they have the strongest legs and backs. The hoof trimming trailer is a God sent.

Work at a Zoo maintenance dept for 20 years now, those tapcons will get dissimilar electrochemical oxidation with urine and manure 24/7, they turn into spikes when they corrode, hoof nightmare. Get yourself a McMaster-Carr catalog and go with a stainless fastner, more expensive up front, but man those tapcons are horrible when they corrode, turn into jagged shanks.

A chunk of money is right, but in the long run it will pay off. One way or another doing what you can, trying new things to improve cow comfort, great job. I don't think it's ever a mistake to work on improving production (cow comfort), it might not always help but it's absolutely worth trying. In such a competitive business the ones who don't invest in improving margins eventually just end up on the wrong side of things because their competition did. That's probably what's helped keep you guys going for 10 generations. Businesses that don't change and adapt quickly can get left behind. Great vid!

I work for a large global rubber company that sells conveyor belts and I watch your videos on a regular basis. When your new rubber mats start to wear out you should contact a mine or quarry to see if they will give you old conveyor belts that could be used as replacement mats. Since rubber can't be recycled these companies typically look for ways to repurpose old conveyor belts vs paying to have them put in a landfill. You would want to find a company who mines heavier ore or rock because they will buy/use thick conveyors in their operations.

Where was the Dew/Chocolate Milk and sandwich to go along with the BREAK⁉️ Important to stop everything while you take nourishment- speaking as a heart bypass and other body part failures person- I know it is hard to stop but your body, Wife & Daughter need you to rest a bit during those 12/14 hour days‼️ Now, I have another new adventure hitting me- The China Virus‼️ 1st 5 days have been rough- not letting up but we’ll see how it goes next week⁉️ I educated one of the trolls about his sarcasm concerning cattle getting out in pasture‼️ I suggested he check with his County Extension Office and County Extension Agent for basic Farm/cattle learning and best practices‼️ LOVE FOR YALL‼️ 🇺🇸AMERICAN FARMERS 🇺🇸 🇺🇸AMERICAN HEROES 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙
