Water is following stone under the concrete down the hill ending up at the bottom. Dig down beside concrete and install perforated pipe dig trench to side of inlet cut then cut a hole in the box and stick pipe through.

when the cows get new bedding they get happy, I like seeing that.

[richardarmida]

Love it when the cows jump for joy. Happy Holidays

[thomasmiller]

My favorite part of any of your videos is watching the cows frolic on new bedding.

[lstone.]

Awesome video Eric. The cows were definitely happy with the new bedding. Not all creatures big or small need a huge fluffy mattress to sleep on.
Totally dig your dedication along with your dad on what you're doing. It's awesome that you can post these videos for the world to watch. Enjoy your afternoon. 🚜🚜🚜👍

[BlazeDuskdreamer]

The cows are always so delighted with fresh bedding.

For the pathway you may be able to dig a pit next to the area where the water is gathering and make a french drain deeper than the water is sitting. It will eventually tun downhill. If you can dig under the concrete pad you can put a perforated pipe leading to the drain to assist with movement of the water as well.

13:35 the staple is for romex wire.
Merry Christmas to you, your family, Megan, friends and viewers.

In the milk house fill the cracks with epoxy thin enough to ooze down the cracks. Putty you mix with water will degrade in the presence of water.

Great video! Always interesting. Please keep it up. Thank you

1:20 well it might be a bit difficult now but, a bit of tileing going to the culvert would probably be your best solution.
that way you dont have a trench to drive over, and it would constantly keep it drained.

I always get a kick out of watching the cows kick up their heels when you refresh the bedding and put them back in or when you put them on grass! With any new system you'll have adjustments that have to be made or tweaking that has to be done, you'll get it figured out soon. Have a good evening!

You could tunnel under the walkway and install a permanent pipe to carry the water under to the catch basin. Tile grout might work better in those cracks by the milk tank. It is a lot more fluid and will go deeper into the cracks. Love the happy cows as they go back into the new bedding. Thanks for a great video.

[ryanbachman]

I always like watching cattle after we gave them bedding they would run around and jump you knew they were feeling good

[cdmcl]

clearly, doubling/tripling storage capacty (etc.) would be good, right away, tantamont to mandatory very soon, in keeping with the entire idea of reducing troubles, etc.

[CoryPeck-ix]

Just an ideal I have a dirt floor in my shop I put down some rubber horse mats and absolutely love them plus it's better than laying in the dirt

[jowhharvey]

Seeing Them cows jump around makes me happy

[SheilaRex]

You can jack up that pad and put a drain under it. I know I saw a YouTube video on it at some point. If its reinforced you can just jack one side. I did that on a smaller piece on a narrow walkway next my horse barn and just dug out and put drain rock, but you prob wanna put a small drain pipe
