It is amazing how the operation has changed & grown over the years including the recent massive upgrade that is currently taking place.

A lot of blood sweat and tears gone. Oh well, the memories will always be there. Progress.

Your fore Fathers and your Children should be so very proud to have people of your calabar as family members and need to be very proud of their Family today.

I can remember driving by the place in the 70s with my Dad. Lots of progress since then. Hats off to you all.

Thanks for reminding the rest of the country that NY State isn't anything like NY City; you've got a beautiful farm up there and looks like you run a great Dairy operation!! From Orange County, NY!!

Your video shows how much dairy has changed in the last 65 years, my life. My grand uncle Arthur Crose of Kerkonkson New York was old school dairy. Taxes and old age ended his career and his son Jigs Art jr was not the same as his dad

The old barns are coming down around here in Michigan also! It kind of sucks but they won't last forever! Just think of how much time a farmer had into building a barn! Cut the trees out of the woods, bring them up cut them up with an axe and notch them, Then crane the beams up into position!!!! Then cover the barn most of time while farming and working fields! Those guys back then were workers like we'll never see again!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it was hard seeing that barn go but the new one is a great addition to the operation not to mention the great animal care and overall wellness

This is the first video I’ve seen with your calves/cattle! I’ve never seen your milking operation.

We will be tearing are old barn down and couple of silos next to it in a few months to be put a calf barn in it’s place and I know when that day comes you just have to sit back and thank that barn for everything it’s done because that is where i grew up, my dad started farming and a life long memories that were made, it’s a simple building that got us to where we are today with modern facilities and a great life for a family and it all started with that old barn, god bless

To see the kids watching and taking pictures.. Was so cool . I would be right at home in that machine lol..... Nice music too...

Always sad too see the old barns come down but that's a beautiful calf barn you have there Andrew

A lot graft gone in that barn over the years. Ours is still standing!!👍your business has definitely evolved over the years.

Great footage. Thanks for sharing this!!

Nice video hits on the evolution of things, Cavs look happy and healthy.👍

I bet the old barn had a lot of great memories that will be with you's forever. We love the new calf barn and the pride you all take in the animals.

really nice new barn,,, well engineered

Great video Andy

I felt a little sad seeing the history of that old barn through the years and then torn down. Then when I saw the new barn I can clearly see why it was rebuilt. New barn is so bright and efficient in space and energy. Great vid. thanks

Bitter Sweet !!! I always enjoy going through old bend !!

Great Video. Keep them coming.

I would bet had to be so sad to see the old barn torn down but one has to invest to make yourself grow.

Your farm has gone on a hell of a journey. Great work my man! Brilliant video 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

i was sad too but, the new farm could be a nice christmas card photo

Great addition to the farm. Wow calf have heated floor better then my house. 😊👍

I live in Michigan around farm country. I always find it sad to see old farm buildings that I have seen sense a kid come down. Or when farmland turned into homes.

Great looking and useful barn in it's lifetime

Awesome video!

Your family has a lot to be proud of Andy

Then and now amazing

Excellent video

all your calfs look realy healty

Nice calf barn 👍🏻

Great video

Wow you guy did a lot of growing in a short time.

Little Andrew, lol and Charlotte watching it fall

Very nice video. Music was perfect backdrop to the demolition. It felt really sad to me. I'm sure you had mixed emotions about it since the barn was in your family that long.

Awesome !

Nice new barn

So much good lumber my crew would've done it by hand and had it out of there in a week for the lumber to add on to me and the kids houses and shops

I'm really glad you take the time to do these videos. I grew up on a dairy in Ohio. This really brings me back it wasn't anything like the kind of operation you're running but there are definitely some similarities.

Oh that’s unfortunate, I could never bring myself to tear down a beautiful old barn with so much history like that.

Nice healthy lookn calves

Any idea how many Miller’s there was back in the 70s? Cool old pictures.

Hope you salvaged a beams for furniture. Old growth wood is extremely limited

Happy calves are the best ones!

Sad see the old barn go,but new addition does look good! Calves are content. Know of several amish and mennonites that would have taken the old barn down in trade for the materials.

Progress is so sad sometimes

Did you keep the silos or tare them down

Should have called Norm from This Old House to repurpose the lumber I imagine in California you probably would have had a constant spray of water to minimize dust and a collection system to prevent ground water contamination I saw some long boards on the side it’s a shame but I know newer building will be better easier to clean and maintain

Do you have the heifers in the other barns on that side?

This video got me thinking, it would be really neat if you would do like a video explaining some farm history and showing some pictures of it through the years!

Hat e see the old girl go but have keep up with the technology

Cool

Would you be able to do a video of the milking parlor sometime? I used to help the neighbors milk 50 to 60 cows but we quit in the summer of 2016 and I miss milking them.

Just ran across this video, the farm has grow alot over the years, sad to see the old to go but the new is always nice too. Does the farm have a buyer for all of the bull calves that are born ?

What is happening to that small silo

Any pictures of inside the barn over the years that would make a cool video?

Seems sad in a way, progress, ok .

Just sad in my eyes imagine the stories that Barn could tell if it could talk I just can't give it a thumbs up and I can't give it a thumbs down

Great video but sad

Impressive. How many employees help milk?

Hey Andy. Nice barn. How many cows do you milk.

In India or China they would have taken it down piece by piece and pulled all the nails. Sad to see the waste in America, no matter the economics of the project. Had a better roof than most houses.

Do you sell your bull calves and keep the heifers for replacements?

wow save you the story I was very happy to be back on the farm when I hit rock bottom 18 months of hull they said I when thought I do not remember that part just wanted to be here on the farm again I was very interested in a trailer to live here, just to bad the old barn was not in good shape for me to restore to live in I told my step-parent they did refuse me the trailer anyways but the barn idea was a go-ahead first thing had to draw the plans out all of the plans was rejected by them too did not know why I did not what a big place but they did land up with an 80 x 160 barn house the old barn had buggies and a wagons area build on the bottom of the barm that was the 3 barn on the homestead, my stepfamily, was doctors the buggies had a big area can hold 10 buggies for repairs too and the 10, my family owns most of the family live at the farm and doctors too the livestock was on the main floor too it sits on a stones the build for the carriages they had the barn was on top of it three lofts over the top of it all they were well off too and we are still after the 2 world war, my step parents retrun back for the war the did want to be a doctor or a surgery personal resons it was with the canada goverment when they were held as priosener they never practice it after they retruned to canada but i did have stickes from him i was the own one had them fro him the barn was built the same way as the other was just larger size 5 floor all to the basement upper basement main floor the train layout floor one larger train fan my stepfather is the top floor was the hobble floor and the sewing floor too the old barn we burn down and this one we did too august had a couple of bad storms the did a lot of damages to the farm lose the house in the storms just happy we cam rebuild this time it the way my step-parent wanted the home to look like yes it will bee 2021 be finished a lot of fine craftsmanship needs to be done by hand I am busy with ofter thing for 4 our of the day 2 of them are with the hives I have in town honey bees 25 hives have in a warehouse check-up and water all the plants and feed the bees to takes time they have to go and spend time with my other animals to them I return here with my step-parents to the farm they are helping me with some of the projects here can not wait to have them spoiled animal back here spring they will be here fall they place will be all done and they have a new barn to play in too especially winter wnt it cold out there too

the whole barn is floor heated ?

It seems a pity you had to do that, I'd be concerned in a practical sense, that by distroying the farm's physical history you could undermine the psychological foundation on which it is built. I think it's important for up and coming generations to be able to see that history to appreciate the work that has been put in by previous generations and value what they've got and how they got there. Puts things in to perspective and helps gives meaning and purpose. Just my way of thinking, which you may well think is unnecessary nonsense.

☹️😢🐝

Man this is a sad video. Really heartbreaking and I know nothing about it I just love the old barns.

What this song name pls ?

It's sad to say the least, but I guess with growth comes a certern amount of pain

That's a shame to see it is sorry

So sad.

Did that barn have the hand hewed beams? If it did I know of several people who would have torn it down, cleaned it all up and paid you for the privilege of doing it
