I respect how much attention to preventing contamination you guys have.

This was a fun and interesting video Eric, and educational as well. Love the gentle care you provide to those calves, and the cows as well. Thank you for going out of your way to make this special video.

I like that locking device for the calf’s water buckets. I need that for my cats who continually dump their water bowls because, well, they’re cats.

Same with my dog, lol.

Excellent job on your calf housing, feeding and daily care. Raising tomorrow's assets today.

If you attach milk bottle sleeves to you rail fencing, you just pop the milk bottles into the sleeves and the calf's feed themselves.

Eric is such a kind, gentle calf daddy. And he is a great washer. Loved the video and thanks for sharing it with us.

Perfect Timing, I just starting showing my kids (4&6) your videos and how much hard work goes into getting the milk they drink. They love the videos but especially love the videos with the Calves.

Chris, That is such a great idea! Especially if y'all are in the city and your kids are at the perfect age for this info. 😀👍

That newest heifer calf is big. What a great replacement cow she will be.

That newborn caught on quick taking the bottle. Loved this video. Thanks!

The most adorable but most frustrating job on the farm is trying to get claves to drink properly.

Yes it is

I saw a sign on the way to the post office that said thank a farmer so "thank you " for all your hard work to help feed Americans .

I really enjoyed watching about your calves - also how you get the milk and clean up afterwards - I must say I am really impressed at how clean things are around the barn and in the kitchen area. Great job!!!

I love watching this channel.

Thank you, I always enjoy seeing the young calves.

I was about 20 when I got to bottle feed a calf at a dairy. I literally GIGGLED with glee. It was the most fun I'd ever had.

Your knowledge of the farming process is incredible... Years of experience.....and wisdom.

Wish all young people were as enthusiastic and hard-working as you! Always enjoy your videos!

We went from feeding 2 litres 3 times a day to 3 litres 3 times per day and saw huge benefits for the calves. Also we only feeding using bottles because we want the calves suckling so that they produce a lot of saliva.

The calves were lively and very talkative lol

As always, loved the video. Nice seeing the young ones and progression. Again, I really appreciate your hard work and the way you care for your animals, it comes through on your videos.

Thanks for taking the time for the videos Eric. I really enjoy them.

This was my job aged 6 till I was 19. I loved every single minute! Very similar system; pas milk in bottle, then bucket, then water. We also had feed with Jelly babies and other sweeties in, I’d wash them in the parlour and eat them myself...!

Calves are soo cool! Amazing that they are only 24 hrs old and already walking around. Beautiful animals.

Love to see the little calves! Their excitement at getting some nice warm milk in the morning is so sweet.

Appreciate the extra time you take to shoot POV and also get establishing/wide shots - keep up the great work!

We feed some whole milk and top it off with milk replacer to the amount we need, mixed in a milk taxi. We used to use buckets, but just switched to 4qt bottles and a bottle washer for cleaning them to reduce labor. Feeding around 40 calves right now.

So excited, Eric!! I received my long sleeved tee and my hoodie today!! I love my 10th Generation Dairyman goodies. I bought them in burgundy. They are excellent quality and I love how soft they are. Now I can tell even more folks about your site!! Great job!!

I was litteraly watching a vid of yours when you posted, Love the vids keep it up 👍

Great video. It is so interesting to see how what seems like such a simple task, involves so many steps, including the cleanup.

You keep your farm so neat and tidy you must be very proud

I really enjoy watching your videos. I learn so much and it makes me really appreciate everything you and your family does to feed us. Thank you.

Happy little cows because of you,, you're kind,gentle,and respectful to them...your additude is great

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing love seeing all the babies

We've raised lots of bottle calves it sure is fun to see how you professional guys do it.

Thanks for another wonderful and interesting video, Eric!!! You are one of the hardest working people I have ever seen! Kudos to you! I know your dad and entire family are so proud of you!

When I saw this was about the bottle Calves I couldn't click fast enough. I would be in big trouble, playing with calves all day they are soo cute. You guys do amazing work. Thanks for sharing!

Yay!!! That was a great video!!! Love seeing the babies! Thank you for all the great camera angles! God bless you!

That one cow said “bruuuuuuh” when he dumped his water

Back in 1966-1975, feeding calves was part of my job too. We did not have bottles. We had pails with a nipple on them. We also would try to get them to drink out of the pail (without nipple) as soon as possible. If I remember correctly,.....they were usually drinking out of the pail (no nipple) within a few weeks.

Calf feeding fun time that’s a great job!! Everything about your dairyman operation is so clean and organized!! Awesome video THANKS!!🙋‍♀️😊

Love watching you feed these babies. They are so cute

Really enjoyed watching you WORK and narrate. So interesting.

Loved seeing the little babies!

Thanks for the inspiration!! I want to be a farmer when I grow up. And this is great. I can't wait for the next video when I finish this one. Thanks Eric

A very rewarding job feeding calves, we do it similar to you do Erik and its nice to see how you feed your calves. They have a nice shine on there skin. They are thriving well and well looked after. Interesting video Erik.

Really enjoy ur video’s !!!! Amazing how u guys do everything!!!! Man there’s a lot of work to b done every day at ur dairy farm WOW blown away seems like u never hav time for anything? Always doing something!!!! Awesome work !!!!

Great video eric, i love how much care u put into takeing care of all the animals, thanks for being a farmer

We use replacer to feed our calves with bottles the whole way through. We find it’s easier to makes sure the calves get consistent meal sizes. We use 3 and 4 quart bottles depending on age. We also found that we can maintain proper feeding temperature while feeding calves in hutches. Let me know if you would like to know more.

I really admire how well you clean things. You’re very professional and take pride in your work and how you care for your animals. Keep up the awesome work!

Thank You for making time to share your videos with viewers who never saw the inside a dairy farm. Please keep them coming " you could show mess-ups/poop accidents so everyone see's it's not a bed of rose's working with live animals " .

Thanks for another sweet video and explanation of everything ya do so knowledgeable for every step you take lots of work that’s for sure bless you all

Adorable thank you. Would love to see more cow interaction videos.

I absolutely love the merch the softest sweatshirt I have, love the vid keep up the great work

Excellent video Eric. Another example of the quality operation that you and your dad are running.

Eric... thanks for showing us non farmers what it daily takes to make the business run . It’s been really educational and fun to see your daily journey.Blessing s to you and your family. Wi .

Really adorable calves! And just awesome video!

Always nice watching the calves, lots of work growing that many. With the markings on todays calf we can watch her as she grows up on the dairy.

They are such beautiful little creatures.

Love your videos man, keep up the hard work on the farm and on this platform.

Giving them the bottle, whole way untill they are off milk. It's supposed to be better because they drink slower and more spittle and enzyme mixes with the milk

IDK how or when I started watching all these farmers but MAN! Y'all are the MVPs!

I remember on our farm. We had powed milk.then we gave them real milk. It was better for them great job and work..I miss the farm .

Great video on calf rearing mate . I bottle feed my calfs for 4 weeks then for 6 weeks on a teat bucket then for 2 weeks one feed a day with lots of calf cake. 😎👌👍

I’ve been subscribed since 2 years ago on the corn silage harvest. I love the vids Eric.

Good stuff. You can see how well you care for the calves, and cows.👍👏

Love seeing the babys. Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and healthy :-)

If I was 40 or 50 years younger I' d give anything to work in your calf barn. I miss our cows! Really nice video, thanks.

In the old days we would keep the calf with the mother in separate pens from the rest of the milking cows. We did this because newly freshened cow's milk is not to be used for human consumption because of all the colestrum in the milk. After a week we would put the freshened cow back in the regular rotation and and bottle feed the calves. We had a small herd so managing the herd was not a big challenge. I really enjoy seeing the calves. I made my dad angry because I was always trying turn the calves into pets. Bull calves didn't hang around long because we would take them to the auction barn after several weeks. As usual, Eric, you produced a very enjoyable post.

I’m from Belgium, your videos reach the other side of the ocean! Love to see your video’s!

It's good you talked about the calves. Also we like how y'all handle the livestock. Not yelling and whistling so much. They seem like good behavior around you and your team.

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always!!

I've been wondering about this process! Thanks for the video!

Our calves get a bucket with a teat the whole milk period. With a teat the calves drink small bits and they will digest it better and it keeps them from getting diarrhea. Greetings from a Dutch farmer :)

we do the same thing as you guys. My sister normally takes care of the calfs. Amazing video

Thank you I am learning a lot, awesome videos. Hope you have a great day.

I definitely think you will make 300k subs by the end of the year. Awesome videos! keep up the hard work!

Love the videos and feeding calves is my favorite job also on our farm we use bottles the whole time the calves are on milk and we have found it works better

Great video... Thanks for your time making. Awesome.

Great info. I'm thinking of buying a couple young calfs from a dairy soon so this was right on time.

We use 3 quart bottles for the bigger ones. We used to do buckets but stopped 4-5 years ago. We also use milk replacer

Technically I think it is better to feed bottle, something about the groves in there throat, but it takes longer too, so depends on how many calved you got and how you value/manage your time

Love seeing the cute calves

Once again beautiful job! 👍🏼

Thank for the t-shirts and hoodies Eric. Got them all on 11/10/2020.

I only feed my calves on bottle for about 3 days. Then they get switched over to the automatic feeding system which is like a bottle. You have a nice calf barn. Plenty of ventilation. Great video!

Processing the milk, soon be calling for more.

I miss feeding my babies, I always got them on a bucket as soon as I could, but as you said, a super important job to raise calves and sometimes its hard

If my memory hasn’t completely failed me, I think we bottle fed raw milk for the first 3 or 4 weeks and then transitioned them milk replacer in buckets until they were weaned. This was 45 years ago though, and we sold the farm when I was 13 after my dad had back surgery and couldn’t farm anymore. I do remember one particular ornery calf. She liked to keep pulling the bottle closer and closer to the ground. I bent over and just followed her down when she decided to bring her head up fast. She broke my nose.

You don't even realize that you are way more intelligent than your years. Your ethics and caring for your animals needs to be commended Eric. Stay safe and Merry Christmas from Cape Cod

We keep the calves with a big round drum that has about 20 teats. It’s a great job when they get older you can just throw in the 10 gallons in and leave them at it

love watching your videos.

That's videos are great! Clean and professional! Great job

Boy, your hands are full!!! Love your videos. Peace from SW Florida 🤗!!!

We feed all calves on bottles. They say that buckets r faster but not as healthy because they are drinking too much at a time. When calves are young it’s better for them to drink slower. But buckets are a lot faster

When we lived in GF, Montana we use to help out our neighbors feed calves. Plus help on the calving times. We had chickens and when someone needed eggs they went in and got what they needed and fed the chickens. I do miss living in MT.. But i always miss my home, "Alaska"...

we use bottles. i just think it’s a lot easier because it only takes usually only takes 2 or 3 feedings to train them to drink from a bottle holder, and you can get it done pretty fast. And the angle they’re drinking at is also better for them :)

Very informative! Great job explaining everything!

I usually bottle feed my calfs for a few days when get them on bucket with a peach nipple on it

I feed calves 1 + 1/4 bottles until about 4 weeks old, and about 1/3 of a bucket of milk to the older ones until they are about 2.5 to 3 months old (both the bottles and 1/3 of a bucket are the same amount of milk). They all get about 3/4" of calf-grower grain feed in one bucket, a full bucket of water, and a handful of hay. We feed them this twice a day.

Ever thought about checking out a MILK TAXI? The NYFarm Girls farm use it for calves instead of your scoop and they say they've had great success with calf health.
