I have watched your videos for some time now, and I am always taken in by the "unity" that exists in your family. I remember when the kids were younger, how they would emulate the farm operation with their toy tractors, trucks, etc., following you and Jen around the farm watching and learning. They have come a long way in the past few years thanks to you Alan and Jen. I don't believe that there are too many children their age who are getting up at 5:30 A.M. to help with the chores and the milking. God must smile when he looks down upon your family. God Bless you all and thanks for the many valuable lessons in life that you continue teaching your children.

I remember how proud I was when Mom and Dad trusted my brother and I enough to go on trips and we took care of the chores ourselves. Then word got out and I covered the neighbors farms when they would go on vacations too. It was a really big deal for me as a teenager. I was very proud of what I did. It was a reflection of our family. So sorry to hear about the eagle 😢

I envy your kids I was also raised on a dairy farm it teaches kids responsibility and respect for what it takes to keep a farm running and what it means to do a good days work

The way kids should be raised

It is so great to see a small dairy farm that still operates.

how do the kids manage without phones or tablets didnt think that was possible these days

The responsibility and the work ethic you children have will make them highly prized in the workforce someday. You have given them a very valuable gift.

There is something peaceful about winter morning chores. You can enjoy some quiet moments. Stay warm and safe. God bless.

Fabulous! God Bless You All.

Loved the kids and the cows!!

Mr Allan, you have a professional work crew. 👍

Brings back so many good memories of my childhood in the late 50’’s and 60’s going to the barn twice a day. Your kids always have such a great attitude. We had to roll out about 4:30 am so we could be done milking before the milkman came. We still shipped cans then. Keep your kids involved. It’s a great way of life.

You're a wonderful hard working family and I love when you have the kiddos in the video showing what a farming family does on a daily basis. Many hands make quick work. Be safe and God bless

Can’t imagine a winter in Minnesota keeping the water thawed out . Great video Al and family . Thanks for feeding us . Try to keep warm and God Bless .

When people ask,say the cat is guarding the treasure(milk)😂

You have the same barn that the guy l work for we milked 100 cows

It's always a good morning when it's well below 0 and the gutters are not full from a broken water line or bowl!

I am always impressed with your Family’s Love for each other. Great work ethics and dedication to get the job done. The world needs to see these wonderful examples then apply them to their lives! God Bless you and your family!

Alan you and your family do a very good job . Yes if possible sometime bring us along when you are getting firewood.

I have been a sub since you only had about 200 subscribers. I'm glad I hung around. The kids ha e grown a lot.

Nice clean cows I personally can't believe how weak city kids are Farm kids are the best

This video is my favorite kind! Love to see the daily milking and feeding chores. Love to see the cows and the interaction with all of you. Brings back memories as I was raised on a dairy farm and had many chores as a youngster. Keep up the good work!

0:08 I guess Alan is not used to saying 2024 yet 😁, anyway, good to see the family is all well.

It is awesome to see how the kids just get right in there and go to work especially at such a young age, Alan and Jen have done a tremendous job raising their children and should be so proud of themselves. You're kids will grow up to be stellar adults in ur community. Please tell the kids how proud they're viewers are of them. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

The children really are pitching in the work load

Awesome job I love seeing the family on the farm! Sorry the eagle didn't make it.

You both should be very happy with your children, in this day and age it’s impressive to see children that aren’t afraid to work!

Thanks for the eagle update. I enjoy seeing the milking and the kids helping! 👍👏🐄

I enjoy your videos so much. I think because your videos are so honest. Your children help you and enjoy it. Nothing is staged. Everything is honest and sincere and it shows

I love watching Your videos

Milking gets the family together once or twice a day! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! ❤

Lovely looking family. Yes, farm kids do rock! I know because I was one of them years ago.

I’m really interested in the operating side of the dairy. Some folks call it the geeky stuff. It would be very interesting to see how much, what type and location of your crops for 2024. How many cows you’ll need, which ones to cull and general herd maintenance. That’ll show the world that it’s a lot more involved in running a farm that people think.

Can you introduce us to some of the cows.

I see the cat supervising the goings on in the milk house!

Winters are tough, but you keep going. Hard work. Fun to watch too.

Thanks and stay warm if you can. I would really enjoy a video explaining how your outdoor wood boiler system works and how it has worked for you. Also what would you do if you were doing it again. God Bless.

Enjoy your videos with all your family. Thanks for sharing. God Bless

Great to see your "right hand man" is your daughter! I have 4 of em, and wouldn't trade them for anyone else. Great video!

Could you show step by step procedure of milking a cow with the milking machine, explain the pipeline system, bulk tank. Thank you,

👀🙄🐾👍Great video Alan Jennifer and the Kids

Thanks for the update on the eagle. Sorry to hear the end results. That’s the same work I had to do when I was on the farm. I helped with milking then I had to feed pigs. We had quite a few pigs. We raised feeder pigs and had about 50 sows. Made for busy work.

Love seeing the kids an everyone helping on the farm

I am impressed how your family works together

I like when you talked about the cows breads personality

Great job kids!

So unfortunate to hear that the ego didn't make it I hate to hear hear about that kind of stuff cuz I just love bald eagles. The whole family today is helping with morning shorts that's awesome!

👍👍👍👍 tudo ok tudo organizado bacana é só um foguinho queimando aí uma frio nem um friozinho né

I'd love to see a video on the history of your farm!

Thank you for sharing this video and it's always great to see the family working together. God bless and stay warm

Great video, you have great kids. Great job mom and dad

Your content is just fine!

A video about different cow personalities would be entertaining to me. Like what Jessica said about that one being shy at first. And Jen has talked about cow behavior some in the past. I'm sure you guys notice different personality traits all the time, perhaps inherited in some cases. The way they act when talked to or when neck or ear rubbed is entertaining to see and their eyes sometimes look like they really know what's going on more that one might expect. And I'm sure you have cow stories where they caused some farm excitement. Just an idea.

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊

I really like the barn chore videos!

Jumper needs his fix 👍

Enjoy your videos, when we were milking we left few lights on in barn over night. They say cows might produce more

Finest crew I ever seen 😊

To anyone watching that doesn't know; they're milking in a 'flat barn.' To still be dairy farming this way shows these folks have to love what they do. Hat is off to yall.

Tuxedo cat are my favorites.

I love watching the whole family working together. I never get bored. God Bless!

This is exactly the kind of video we LOVE! To SEE how and what is done daily. What an extraordinary family. God bless you all. Sending lots if love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Your kids all have good work ethic’s and that means a lot this day and age love seeing this well done Jen and Allen

Hi Guys,winter is here in Vermont now

Thanks for a great video of all the winter stuff you have to do and what ever you could show us as you are always working.

Thank you for the eagle update. That’s sad. But at least they tried to save it. Better outcome than if it would have been left to fend for itself.

I forgot to add fetching firewood from the field.

Sorry to hear of the eagles fate. Love any content you put up. When things are slower and not much content is available might be a good time for to to take a break from making videos so you don’t get too burned out on KZfaq stuff. What ever you do we will be watching when you put something up. Stay safe. God Bless

❤WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED MANY OF TIMES ❤😊 THANKS TO THE KIDS FOR THEY'RE HELP !!!❤😊

I’ve used a scraper very similar to the one you used on the cow poop I used it on hog poop

I love watching the morning chores and the kids. You always entertain me. God bless!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Like your dairy farm. And have to say you really have some nice cows

I always like your videos

Just keep doing what you do.

Allan and Jen your kids are very hardworking and that credit goes to their parents

I enjoy any and every thing you post it’s all very interesting and entertaining thank you so very much my friends take care god bless you all ❤❤❤❤❤

Brings back a lot of memories watching your videos like this growing up we milked 60 Holsteins in a 28 stall barn running 6 deval milkers fed alfalfa hay same way and are grain with wheel barrow. Great way to grow up.

Veri nice vedo❤❤❤❤

2023? Lol happy new year 🎉 😊

Thanks Alan for another great video. Nice to see the kids helping out. Glad everything going well with those fridging temperatures. Any videos are greatly appreciated. Maybe some firewood processing videos and some more horses videos.

I would like to see more videos about your breeding program, ai, and such. What do you look for when deciding which bull to breed which cow with.

Hi Alan. Re: future content. I still remember when the kids got their snowmobile. That was fun and exciting. Also love watching them play outside and in the snow. Our kids are all grown.

I thought of some ideas for videos. Have Jessica do an episode on her horse, do weekly updates on the calves, have videos with the cows and heifers when they are in the pasture, Jen could do a video on her chicken breeds, snow removal, daily chores especially in the barn. I hope this helps.

Very nice job and God bless y'all with all of your work

I enjoy the chore videos. Did you get your snowmobiles going yet? That could be a video.

Very great video .Awesome content.

Chore videos are always good.

Every once in a while, I would love to see the chores being done and enjoy watching how you all interact with the cows. Your kids are great and should be proud of themselves and their parents. Is anyone else going to get a calf for the coming year. Do you still drive bus? Something I might like to see is how home schooling is done. Most of my great nieces and nephews were/are home schooled. One of them is now about done with his law degree. Several have graduated from college and the rest are hard workers. The University near us used to have a program called a quiz bowl that had teams from the different area schools compete. They also included a group of home schoolers, who ended up in second place against some tough competition. Another idea for a video is maybe to follow a calf from day one and then to being milked or when the weather is good, showing the kids sledding. We lived on a big hill and my brother made a trail that curved at the bottom of the hill. He banked the curve and iced it up with water. We went halfway down the field. The only bad part was walking all of the way back. Also love to just hear the sounds of the cows and the milk machines working away. Thanks.

Love your videos

Nice clean cows and lovely full udders. Milked jerseys here in NYS for many decades, in a tie stall barn.

I have enjoyed all your videos. I do like your chores videos. To see the cows. There just so relaxed. The horse videos are good to. To listen to your Dad explain things and the way the horses act so tame and well mattered.

The best way to raise kids after life on the farm there ready for what the world throws at them its great that they all pitch in

Don't clean them ashes out! Shovel them up on the wood and reburn them . The rep for Hardy Furnaces said if you throw a shovel of ashes up in the air , anything that falls back to the ground is wasted.

Jumper is opportunistic for warm milk, a high perch, and a warm spot to sit and watch. Alan, did your grandpa (well, your grandparents) have any thoughts about your youtube farm videos? Fascinated? Ho-hum? Don't feel obligated to answer.

Mabe a maple syrup video when it's time and tractor sled rides.🙂

Nice videos

Great video 😊

First off : At start of video you mention the date BUT you said 2023 , understand . Secon , what would you say ration Jersey to Holstein be for your heard ? Thank you and have a very , VERY blessed day sharing J-SUS .

I know it's been cold here in Minnesota. Any fixing videos in the future ?

Need to show the cows having calves sometime.
