We’ve had SmaXtec for a little over a year now. It’s a great system and the more time you spend with it the better it gets.

I wonder if the cows get excited when the hoof guy shows up like "oh sweet it's pedicure day" 😂😂

I love your constant improvement over the cows health, and the improvements to the crops. Well done.

These cows are better taken care of than I was in the army 😂😂❤❤

Wow that’s a great way to watch and track the health of the heard, advanced warning , like the cow being able to talk 😂

I love the care and dedication you have for your cows. I wish more farms operated like yours.

We put the smaxtec system about 3 months ago. Love it! It is great for early detection health issues and has helped us have better reproduction performance with our cows. We haven't had a fresh cow go backwards since in our 500 cow herd. Worth the investment

Love the amazing technology that helps you take care of your cows. Great video, Eric. Thanks.

Eric...sounds like you are over your scratchy throat issues from last video...a good thing! Great work on the feed keeping robot and cow scrub 'n scratch brush! Hope the new house is beginning to feel iike home again! Thank ya'll for dairy farmin', fixin' and feedin'🍶🍦🍼🥛🍨🍦 🇺🇸 !

Fascinating new hi tech technology going along with old fashioned hard work makes for a successful farm. Keep us informed Eric. Really good stuff

That cow brush must be the best back scratcher no wonder they love it.

Your animals appear to be in excellent condition. I applaud your use of this new monitoring system. You did a nice job explaining how it works and the benefits for the cows. Early intervention can prevent serious problems and this system should really provide that. It is fascinating to see how technology, of many different kinds, can ease the work load and improve efficiencies on the farm.

I love watching the cows scratch on the brush rollers.

It's great to watch how the industry is evolving. Love seeing how much and involved you are with the health of the cows. I grew up in central Wiscondin in a farming community and just really enjoy all the effort you and your family put forward. Congratulations on the house build.

Look how the cows get a scratchy scratch! How sweet!

I love that that counts as a clean trailer, in the UK you'd loose your red tractor and probably get fined.

Pretty interesting to see what that monitoring system can do. Looking forward to seeing more about it.

Got a kick out of the cows nosing the feed pushing robot. They like it. It pushes food to them so, of course, they do.

Sure does sound like the SmaXtec Cow Health Monitoring system is going to be a nice step in the cattle dairy operation. Good luck with that and all the other projects you have going. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a nice week.

How exciting to have the Smaxtex system!!! From your explanation it should really help you get a “leg up” on each cows health before it gets to a critical stage. Great video Eric. Thanks for taking the time. To video, edit and take us along on your daily chores, much appreciated.

Found on the internet. The data cow bolus runs for about 12 months. It is designed to be excreted naturally through the cow's digestive system. However, if the bolus does not pass naturally, it can be removed by a veterinarian. I am not a farmer, vet, or tech.

Very cool system to monitor your cows. I was wondering what happens when the battery dies inside the cow? Thanks for the video.

Excellent video Eric! Interesting to hear your comments on the technology available to monitor cow health and activity. Liked seeing the cows moving, fixing the brush and the feed pusher, and hoof trimming chute. Very informative video. Thanks!

Really enjoyed watching your videos Eric The hard work you do the way you work with your dad the way you explain about what you're doing and the care and attention you put into your cows it shines a light on the amazing work farmers do to put food on our tables GOD BLESS you all Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮

Fascinating technology available today. That sounds like a great asset to keeping a healthy herd.

Love watching your videos. I am from Downingtown area and you are letting me relive my childhood. I worked on my uncles dairy farm near Highland Orchards. I watch you from romania. Wish you could post more videos each week. Thank for the memories.

It's amazing how far technology has assisted "QUALITY FARMERS" like yourself. You can always tell a Great Farmer by the reactions of his animals, your animals are in GREAT HANDS, very low if any resistance from being worked.

I really enjoy how much time and effort into the cows and their health

Hey Eric...man the technology they have for you farmers is amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Very interesting

They love those brushes. Nice on the technology you're using to monitor the health of your cows. Tech can be amazing but a pain also. Pros & cons.

That's neat tech. I'm always aware of the possibility for plastics in food though. So when I see that I'm thinking - plastic sitting in the cows digestive track. Hm. How quickly does it degrade? What quantity of plastic chemical can then be expected to enter the meat and/or milk, and then pass on to the consumer? I think that in an age of so many cancers, it's something that is provident to consider. I've cut down on just about all the food related plastics I can. No plastic water bottles, etc. I buy the grass fed products when I have a choice, but who's to say those farmers don't use it too.

I tried these on my kids. Getting that insertion rod down their throats was a little rough, but I promised them iced cream and they're all happy now. I can see the iced cream ruminating inside them, and little Sally has a touch of fever. Not just for cows!

so informative,,wish we could walk around with you for one day,, we'd choose this type of day,,miss the old farm,,oh well, life goes on as we do in our 80's,,thanks Eric and Dad

Your commitment to having an excellent product is why I enjoy these videos. Such a great role model for todays youth.

Wow, thanks for showing a new gadget that has come out to help you milk and breeder farmers.

Hey, this camera and the colors looked so good, I know the weather was perfect too and that helps. Best to you.

Your operation is kick ass. Nice job to you, your father, and your family. Keep up the great work and vids. Awesome

Really cool video, Eric. Thanks. I'm impressed with all of the knowledge you have and the really broad skillset. Whoever thinks farming is all low tech and brute force has their head in the sand. The 10th Generation is a great time to be in the dairy cow biz! Thanks for sharing it all with us!

Glad your getting things done, hoping you get some rain soon... I know we sure didn't get any the last couple weeks in NJ. Hope the family is enjoying the new house 🤙

Wow the technology for the cows has come way further then people who dont farm could have imagined. Love the videos keep up the great work. Also how about a new Q&A with dad its been awhile.

Yes amazing what's out there these day's to help in caring for your herd great video well done young man

They are happy the delaval brush is working again. 😊

I am amazed at the technology available for the farm industry. Thank you so much for taking the time.

Hi Eric and dad beautiful video i really enjoyed cows are awesome and as always you and your dad and families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Love the technology and how you and your family operate a first class operation

❤ I love how you take such good care of your cows!! I love watching your videos… I’m not sure why, it might be because my grandpa had a small dairy farm and my mom was in 4-H and she raised dairy cows too… ❤️🐄😃

New system seems like it is really helpful. I've noticed with the robots and with the new barn that it seems like the cows are a lot cleaner as far as there hooves and hocks. Was wondering how much each cow eats everyday. If you have said in the past, I must have missed it. Great job on the videos.

🐄🌟 "It's fascinating to see the incredible technology being used to care for cows. The advancements showcased in this video are truly impressive, Eric. Thank you for sharing this insightful content. 🙌👏"

You and your Dad run a VERY smart dairy farm! I love the cow hogging the back scratcher BTW!

Hey Eric. I want to point out that the instruction manual of smaxtec strongly warns to administer the boluses on an empty stomach. Now, I'm not a farmer myself, but I got interested in the smaxtec system and discovered an online instruction manual. I quote: "Warning: After insertion, the smaXtec pH Plus Bolus or the smaXtec Classic Bolus needs to settle on the floor of the reticulum as quickly as possible. For this reason, it is important to ensure that the fibrous material in the rumen is not too dense, i.e. the cow should not recently have eaten anything. It is therefore of utmost importance that your animal should have an empty stomach when the sensor is administered. Acting in accordance with the user instructions provided by smaXtec will ensure smooth operation of the measurement procedure"

Hello from Canada sounds like it’s time to upgrade to a joz feed pusher!😊 As a dealer have tried to sell the smaxtec here in Manitoba but no one wants to pay monthly for the data they will get outa it. Thanks for the vids. Keep up the great work.

WOW!!! I’ve learned a lot watching your videos never realized just how much more there is razing cows then feeding and milking. You sure have to keep up to date on everything and have the intelligence to learn new things. Fantastic videos thanks for the education.

Who would of ever thought R2D2 would be pushing feed up!

I will watch ‘em for as long as you make ‘em. I ❤️ you channel.

Fascinating. Hope SmaXtec is paying you big money, you have huge reach!!!

Ha Ha! Those cows love that brush... look how worn it is already LOL! I like those cow monitors. It will be interesting to see how this system changes your herd management if at all. Totally off topic but... Have you tried playing soft music in the parlor while milking? Seeing more and more people talking about increased milk production with some calming music playing just before and during milking. Seems like it would be a pretty low cost thing to try. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Eric. I love all the information. I find it fascinating. My family doesn’t like all the knowledge because I will discuss it when we pass farms and things😂

Really like how you take care of your herd

love you guys. dad, you are the king. cheer up! it only gets worse! ....but He has overcome and so will you!

as a dairy farmer with lely milking robots, i think your managment style would be perfect for robots, i also would enjoy the content of it ahha

You stay on top of things. Might be getting close to getting new feed pusher robot. Need some demo s Any suppliers that might be watching these folks are deserving of demos Enjoyed

Cow manager from select sires has an ear tag that works same as the bolus. We've had it 6 years. Works great!

Technology is the name of the game. Those pills are cool. Whether it's pushing manure, pushing food or keeping up to date data on your phone. It's your livelihood and you're doing what's best for the herd. Stay safe.

That looks like a neat system! Hope it fulfills all your expectations

Our feed pusher is a Rovibec Ranger. It’s simple and works well. If your ever looking to upgrade it’s a option. Can’t say if they’re available in the states. Canadian company. Made in Quebec.

I always watch till the end. Enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the good work!

Eric, I would think that if you would also keep the robot cleaned, the sensors can send there signals though the body. Just my 2 cents!!!

Learn something new every time I watch one of these. Thank you.

Wow that's a nice system to keep track of the things you most need to in the 🐄ladies. Thanks for sharing - love your content. God Bless

I Truly enjoy watching all your videos and some I’ll watch over and over So when are you going to have a open house walkthrough for your online Friends. Thanks so much for taking the time to keep us in touch with your farm.

This monitoring system is equally beneficial to the cow because it gives critical information that can keep the animal from becoming ill and suffering through the process of diagnosing and vet examination etc to figure out what going on with the old girl.

Glad things are going relatively smooth for you and your dad. Best wishes

You guys are doing a great lob on the care and feeding of your dairy herd.

awesome video Eric. Thank you and your family

Great video Eric your cows always look so healthy

Wow!! This new system you’re using for health monitoring is amazing. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos about operating a dairy farm!

Wow, technology is everywhere!! Thanks for the video!!

the SmaXtec device is amazing. look forward to seeing how that works out for you.

Those cows have a better internet connection than I do. 😂

Love the farm. Great job Eric

Super cool to watch your videos I know nothing about farming but enjoy the content

What is up brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲🇺🇲

Wow...technology! Pretty neat way of tracking the health of your cows.

Wow sounds like a very useful monitoring system thanks for the detailed information bless y’all

You are more patient with learning new technology than I am! I am sick of all the technology nonsense!

You Take such good care of your cows. ❤

That's a pretty kool pill hope it works out well for you love ur videos I always watch until the very end

impressed by your openness to new technology. After all, it is a young company with not much presence in the US I assume

i like the way u and your dad manager your farm

The cows 🐄 enjoy the brush

ERIC, Ferdinand the bull looked over his fence & saw Elsie the cow. So, Ferd got a running start & jumped over the fence & walked on up to Elsie. When Elsie saw him, she said 'Arent you Ferdinand the Bull?' Ferd said, 'Well, I'm just Ferdinand now, that fence was taller than I thought." !

Very interesting Eric. You are a good Shephard my friend. Cheers 🇨🇦

You should have that concrete groover do several passes in your calf barn.

The cow brush is a great idea. The cow really like it. 👍

Thanks Eric How is everything with the new house.

Great video thanks. You’re gonna have $100,000 invested in that robot 😂😂🤪

The technology of agriculture is a burgeoning field. The worlds population continues to grow. How do we feed these people? Only a little over 3 billion people in 1960. I’ll be 63 this year and I believe we’re nearing 8 billion. The health of the animals on any farm is so important. Especially grade “A” production. It creates that much more of an edge towards efficiency. Our dairy farming in the seventies was on the cutting edge at the time. So much more useful data and proven science goes into today’s farming.

Thanks for another good one Wondering how long does the rotating brush last? Also wondering if you have moved into your new house yet? Keep up the good work! JIM ❤

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!

Technology is absolutely amazing !
