Thank you Darby for being part of this video. We don't see you a lot but when we do it's enjoyable. Thanks' to The whole Gierok family for being farmers.

You know you married a good girl when she gets her barn clothes on and gets to work!

You are a very lucky man finding a wonderful wife like Darby ,I hope I spelled that correctly. Make sure you treat her good. I think she is definitely a keeper. Congratulations, and I hope you two have a long and wonderful life together.

I really Love how you guys still use all the older barns and equipment .

Nothing better than to see a family working together

I'm a milk drinker as is my wife, I just wanted to thank all you dairy farmers for your hard work to produce the milk that so many of us enjoy, so THANKS AGAIN so very much we appreciate it immensely !

So great to see you all joining in getting chores done. It's got to make your mom and dad feel great to know they can go and everything will be fine

My first farm job there was 40 cows and about 500 sheep. The stable held 20 cows. Next to the milking stable there was a loafing area. During the winter half the cows were locked in. After morning milking we let them all out to eat silage around the Lazy Suzanne and hay while we cleaned and bedded the stable. No gutter cleaners. We had a 12 by 30 foot silo on the end of the barn that we blew sawdust up and stored it there for bedding the stable. The barn was always warm. I miss the sounds of the cows in the stanchions eating hay when there was no other sounds.

It's kinda neat to see you feed cows exactly the same as we do. It's what the infrastructure allows and really it isn't so bad.

Going tomorrow to pick up a Jersey /Holstein mix just over 3 yr old due to calf second calf in about 2 months, coming from an Amish farm. Lost our family milk cow to old age about a year ago so excited to get some decent milk again.

I'm a dairy farmer in ohio, with around a 300 milking heard, and it's always interesting to see how different farms do different things

Another great video! A hard working wife with a hard working guy is a good formula for a long marriage! Take care and stay warm...

Nice seeing your bride working with ya!!

Thank you so much for the shout out means a lot to me keep up the good work I love the vidoes

Makes my knees hurt watching all that excercise.

Shout out to jole. Im jason from iowa just started milking 30 cows back in 2020 still going strong as a one man show!

Quite a daily routine!!! I recently lost a brother-in-law who was a retired dairyman. We used to buy week old calves from them, and got to see the milking activities firsthand. He took a lot of pride in doing things right. His later evening routine included a last check on the bulk tank, the cattle, and an electric fence that let the cows have access to a small pasture.

The amount of labor everyday to milk. You should be proud. My dad was from a family dairy farm. They had a 4 stall herring bone system. Wish I could of seen it operation. Another awesome vid😗👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very good work guys. Love seeing the process. Keep up the good work.

Good to see Dad get a break...

Enjoyed it from Lubbock, TX. 43° I grew up around some dairies in NM that were milking 1000s of cows but your family dairy is so great to watch!

Love it and miss it everyday. I am young compared to most commenters late 20s. The family farm was something i miss every day. We wheel barreled corn silage from 2 silos attached to our 40 head barn. Forked it out of the silos by hand even. It was so fun to climb the silo and play on thr pile with my cousins. The threw small square bales of hay down for thr cows. And had a 100 gallon feed cart we used for dry grain that feed the whole barn in one load. Pushed everything shoveled everything and forked everything else. Simple and it always worked. Never broke down. You enjoy what you have more when you work for it. Thank you all for bringing back my memories of these good times. My offer still stands as well. If you need help with anything, I would be right over. Your friendly neighbor from Minnesota.

The average person has no idea how much hard work it takes to be a farmer, and to bring the milk or produce to the shelves

Just brings back memories of my grandfathers dairy. Looked very similar to your operation. Thanks for the videos!

Do u just use windows for ventaltion in the barn or do have wall fans that run? Dont know why i watch cow milking videos because i milk cows but enjoy your vids. Thanks

It makes me so happy to be able to watch these farming video's. I LOVE cows, and miss being around the cows so much. Thank you for sharing !

Perfect nice to c a loving couple work together God Bless TerryD.

Thank you for sharing the wonderful sights and sounds of the farm at milking time. That brings back memories of the best times of my life. Stay warm and God bless.

Really enjoy watching the milking, feeding video, great the way family works together. Thanks again for sharing your life as a dairy farmer.

You’ve got a beautiful farm. There’s nothin like stancion barn milking. In the late 90’ my father N uncle were milking 160 head in a stancion barn with me N my cousin. Keep up the good work N great videos.

Always great to see a young farming couple working together!

Just love the farm content. I started watching last summer and I don't miss a video.

Heck yeah the younger generation is interested in farming!!!!!

Thanks again for the video, you and Darby make a great team. Nice that your brothers got home to help to get chores done quicker

Once again, your family ethic is wonderful, am wondering if your young bride comes from a farming family? You both show a devotion to the family enterprise, are you and your wife going to develop your farm or will you slowly move into your dad's business?

Awesome team work and a great video as always 👍

Enjoy watching you guys work. Keep the videos coming!

Great video Gierok Farms

Hi, We enjoy watching all the farming channels as "trinity dairy"&"10 generation dairy farmer". It helps us not in farming knw where it all comes from. Keep up the good(hard) work.

Cool video for sure always cool seeing the family milking

Love those constant cowbells

I look for your videos everyday 🙂🙂🙂🙂how many cows do you have? I love when you show the animals so much. Thank you for your time🙂🙂🙂🙂

back in my younger years, late 60's early 70's, thru corn out by hand from the silo-16x60, for 120 head, put it in the wheelbarrow, a load to four cows , twice a day, then feed the feed with a push cart, throw down 12 bales per side, twice a day! man, I'm tired just thinking about it!

Love the milking and the taken care of the cows, nice video enjoyed it very much.

Great video. Always love to watch your videos.

Lights go out Good night ladies!

Fantastic video as always. So many memories rekindled of feeding and milking. It's great to see more of your family in the videos.

This is just how I feed my cows but loaded out of a upright silo. Sometimes when passing a cow she would put her head in the wheelbarrow and basically pull it out of your hand if you weren't holding on tight .

Just like I remember in the 70's n 80's while milking in SE Minnesota. Keep the Great videos coming!

Great video, I loved doing chores when we milked, rather do that than be in the parlor. So here is a dumb question, is your operation a Grade A or a Grade B, or is that a thing any more? Also if I remember you sell to AMPI is that correct?

You brothers are amazing. So great to see y’all working together along with your wife. Love to see more of the whole family working together. God bless

I now live in Alaska but was born on a dairy farm in Watertown, Wisconsin. Speaking of cold, my dad told me of a two week period when the warmest it got was 20 below.

Another great video! You have a fantastic family!

Saludos chicos,ha sido un trabajo muy arduo, los veo desde Madrid, España 🇪🇸

Too much for the heart to take this evening. Wish I could be there to help too. John T.

WOW 👌👍Thank you. Naaman

Good to see everyone working together.

That was great, loved how everybody jumped in and got the milking and feeding done. How many are you milking? I just love dairy farming

I have been dairy farming my whole life, and let me tell you. I wouldn't make a day at your place. I am too soft and out of shape, you and your family are very hard workers. Take care.

Still love watching your videos keep up the great work

Thank you for the great and informative videos! There is always something to learn. Your channel is by far my favourite on youtube!

I love your barn

This takes me back growing up I a dairy farm your size in Minnesota. You all have beautiful farm and I enjoy taking us along farming through all the seasons. My favorite videos are when you let the cows out on pasture for the first time. Fun to watch. Oh, how often do you have to clean the barn and or clean the gutters?

Congrats you two! Nice vid!

thank you

Great to see your wife with you! Why do you have bells on the cows?

Nice to see Darby out and around, sounds like she is lots of help..

❤❤❤ cute couple

Great content as always!

When I grew up on the farm we milked 30 cows in 10 stachen barn no pipe line 3 milkers 1 extra bucket fed ground feed when we milked 7 in 7 out till we got done 6 cans of milk ran with milker bucket of milk to milk house I was done in 45 min.i did the evening milken when I was sixteen for three years and grew up with a st. Baneard dog brought back many memories I am now 77 live on five acres in Florida am very active with my life would love to visit your family sometime I don't get or do emails it is easier for me to talk on the phone love you all god bless you

Always hated the switchers. Had to have been a mental thing - each stanchion represented a given amount of work - feeding/milking. With a switcher, that work started over. 🥰

Always good to see the milking operation. Does the farm ever use sand as bedding for the dairy cows? I grew up on a farm and had never knew of this, until I heard farmers were using sand as bedding in our area in Southwestern Wisconsin.

Sorry if you've mentioned before, but what times do you milk? I'm assuming with your setup you milk twice a day I grew up on a 65 cow dairy in southern PA back in the 60s and 70s. Love your channel!!

Great video

how many pounds of grain and forge are you feeding per cow per day?

Saya kagum dengan kamu teman, sangat rajin dan giat merawat ternakan. Salam dari Indonesia 🇮🇩 DRT Cattle Farm.

You won't believe this but the hayleage I'm feeding out of a silo came out better during the cold weather then it's coming out now that it warmed up.

👍👍👍

Great vidja 👍

Jak zawsze dobra robota 👍

I always like feed cattle and milking for other farmers you learn a lot from all farmers. Where I live there isn’t any dairy left all crop farms pretty sad.

Nice video guys
