Kevin never gets rattled, always knows what to do

Great job Everyone, stay warm👌👍🙏🙂

Enjoyed your video

Good to see you. That black cow sure had a lot to say.

Winter always makes doing the chores and taking care of the animals harder, this family does a great job under these conditions.

👋👋 My friends love from New Mexico ..😊

Hi Ronda, you're fast. You filmed the tractor leaving to go to the bin and were there to film it arriving at the bin. That's magical!

Kevin needs to cover his tractor seat when not in use, the little ones are cute

Always Sad to See the Little Boys leave the Farm but completely understand you have a Dairy Farm so the Little Girls get to stay and Live their Lives on your Farm. 👍🙏

Some nice pointers on the feed grinding, better digestion means more nutrition for the cows. Those calves are so cute and that brown one is the doll of the bunch, I'd love to have a heifer like her, that is bottle fed. Always enjoy watching you all do your farming, your hard work and dedication to your farm animals and land is awesome, thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful day!

Hi Guy's. I really appreciate your sharing what it takes to run your Dairy farm 👌 and as most people know that work on equipment know , I always works just fine until you walk away lol . Stay safe and warm. 👍 🇨🇦 Craig

One thing about owning a dairy farm is it keeps you busy. I worked for the same company for 35 years doing the same thing day after day so I know how you guys feel but now I’m retired and life is easier but boring.

Beautiful feed Beautiful calves Hefiers and Bulls. Used to Milk for my parents and a Hereford Bull would stand at gate for a head cuddle then wonder out with the girls love you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love watching your farm videos, and appreciate all your hard work and dedication you and your family put into it. Thanks for sharing!

Great content !!! Thank you for sharing your journey !! Kevin, over 55 years ago my Dad taught me to always check engine oil and coolant before starting any engine. Something even at the age of 72 , I will never forget!!! Wonderful memories of my Dad !!! You all stay warm and God bless you !!! Eddy

Great video

The cold weather adds a new dimension to your dairy farm. It is presently around -21° C around Calgary, Alberta which is about the same as -7° F. Coming from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, they used to close the outdoor rinks at -10° F. That meant that we had the rink all to ourselves. We did not notice the cold when we were young. Thank you for sharing your typical day. The twin calves are sure cute. 😊

Part of my childhood was spent in the Sudbury area where the winter temperatures could reach -50F! Same in Finland. In neither place did I pay attention to temperatures. By the way, I cut my tractor teeth on Massey/Massey-Ferguson equipment 😊

In our country, some nutritionists tell us to grind the grain, while others tell us to crush the grain. It's frosty here now, 7F yesterday, warmer today. Oh, it's cold where you are because Kevin changed his hat.

Thanks for the adventure. Lots of great memories minus the snow. Well, once every blue polka dotted full moon we’d get snow, lol. I appreciate you!

Good morning and great video Rhonda. Take care and stay warm

You Guy's Are Awesome Parents 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Good morning Ronda and Kevin and families beautiful video watching you all hard at work thanks for all hard work you all do so we can enjoy our milk and as always you all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We had an old coal burning furnace in our house. Whenever we had a calf born in the coldest parts of the winter, dad would bring the calf into the house and lay it on a nest of old towels and blankets next to the furnace to keep it warm. Many nights we as little kids would spend the night with the calf to keep it company. One of the great memories of our little dairy farm in Michigan's Thumb.

Thank you for all you do. It is a very under appreciated job. Knowing it has to be done every day no matter what the weather. It looks to me like you guys do a good job. Never easy in any kind of weather. Snow rain or wind. Hot or cold. Thanks

Once again the fellas get the raw end of the deal.

Mable is getting so big!!!

Nice🎉❤

Oh you have Snow? In Germanny we have a little bit snow over 800 m over see but here last 3 Mounth manny Rain . It give lands in Germanny there stand the water over the fields, not so good for the farmers here. Than is snow better like your Country. Good day from Germanny

I love watching you're farm ❤

Make some corn bread with that corn meal

Sorry winter is here and even in Montana w got snow now and very cold lol

Hello there good folks. I have a Massey Ferguson. It has a Perkins Engine 90HP. It got a bit of age about it now 1990. I don't know what type of Engine's they put in the new Massey Ferguson's because CAT bought Perkins out. I know that some of the bigger models have sisu Engines. I think they are Swedish.

Has Mr. Kevin ever considered building a cab for his tractors that do not have one. At least keep you dry while working in nasty conditions. Wouldn't tarps hanging from top of opening where you have cut up hay/corn cut down on moisture (rain/snow) messing up where it is stored. Could hang weights on bottom of tarps to stop wind from blowing it open. Any help is better than no help to keep feed usable at it's best. I am not a farmer (city boy) who does a lot of thinking outside the box. All the work that all of you put in to feed your cows, from planting to harvest, to making it edible is a major process and hoping weather conditions don't mess up the life span of the feed. The milk I drink from the grocery store is due to all of your hard work and I Thank You for that. By the way,my Dad grew up on a farm,did farming behind a plow with mule, I might have a wee bit of farming in my blood.

The daily feeding tractor has a cab, but the one used less often doesn't. The open tractor may be used to fit in under low places where a cab unit just can't go. I'm sure they have what they need for the tasks they have to do. Great observation 👍

Nice to see you got a little snow, All I've gotten has been rain. My weather station said I picked up 2.98 inches last night combined what we got 2 days ago. I have over inches for the week and more on Saturday. Good thing Kevin has a keen ear. He can certainly move when he has to even at his old age.

Ronda you always make my day better seeing your beautiful eyes I have done alot of feed like that lol

Hi Ronda, Very interesting. Please tell Kevin it was great to see such detailed goings on. Now, WEATHER ADVISORY: We have a *BOMB CYCLONE headed our way along with an *A POLAR VORTEX following right behind it. Bomb means a barometric pressure drop of 24 millibars in 24hrs. Polar Vortex means it's going to be Arctic cold, as in below 0°F or lower. Blizzard conditions are supposed to start Friday AM with 55mph winds drifting the snow and plunging the wind-chill temps below -70°F. As the storm passes, it will move to the North and create "Wrap-Around" bringing Lake Effect snow for Sunday. Grand Rapids is expected to receive 12" of snow from the Bomb Cyclone, then another 10" from the Lake Effect. So, tell the guys to sharpen up the blades on the snow removal equipment, check the oil and filler up with gas. You might want to get in some extra milk eggs and bread for the possibility of an extended stay-at-home. Just kidding, you have all of that "on the hoof." Ha Ha. Just batten down the hatches, lower all the curtains and close the doors, winter's coming. You might want to video the storm, Max Velocity (youtube) says it's going to be the biggest storm of 2024. OK, here's wishing you a good outcome from the storm. ben/ michigan *That's the extent of my meteorological vocabulary.

What happened to the challenger

Hi! Hope you don't get to much snow. My son just bought a25 acre farm he has a nice barn on it and intends to raise some cattle on it he lives close to Everett MI if you know anywhere he can get bull calves or heifers either one he only wants a few at a time to get started.. He works at an implement dealership in McBain Mi called Ellen's. He justs is trying to get into farming with this small farm but I am hoping that things go good for him.I know we are North of you guys but if you have any contacts I would appreciate it

I believe we bought our hay merger from Ellen's. I don't know any farmers selling calves up there, though.

What ever happened to a rain slick? If you dont wear a waterproof jacket you will get cold and wet. Just saying...

What day was this? Love watching your videos, also like seeing the differences in weather...I’m just south of Toledo and we haven’t had the snow you guys have had.

We had a foot of snow yesterday in eastern Iowa. Heavy wet snow and we are in extreme drought. That moisture is welcome. The ground isn’t frozen, so most of the moisture will go into the soil as the snow melts.

Gets the most nutrients from the corn when it's ground fine, the forages give the rumen fiber to balance diet.
