A Tour of the New Barn!

Welcome to the tour of our new heifer and dry cow barn! It was built during the summer of 2020! It is a huge upgrade compared to the old barn that stood in its place! My father talks about his doors, windows, gates, pens and more! He goes in depth of why he built or set up things the way he did! I hope you all enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!

I am always amazed at the common sense and ingenuity demonstrated by farmers. Your Dad demonstrates that everywhere in everything he does.

[peewee.]

Your dad put a lot of thought into designing that barn and reusing things from around the farm. He is really good at explaining everything too!

My father in-law was always thinking like your dad. Pure genius. Some of the best architects and engineers are on the farms. Very well done Mr. Gierok.

The "built to slope" concept was the "eye-opener" in this one! What a great idea! Let gravity handle your drainage issues---for FREE! (well, with some thought...not exactly free) The clerestory opening is genius....assuming the builder KNOWS his environment intimately. My own is "pointed" due S and glazed. Overhang computed from !0 to 03 month exposure. I didn't have to compute for a bunch'a hot cows in my house. Excellent video (as usual) thank you for the tour!

Wow! Such thought and planning. Good use of generational knowledge! Beautiful besides.

You can see your father is a hard worker and loves his life and farm, his hands show his dedication.🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Gotta love the ingenuity of the small American farmer. You can tell your father put a lot of thought into the whole building. Job well done!

Thank you for the tour of the barn!
To me you are living the dream!
Working with your family on the farm is my idea of heaven!

The classic styling of the barn is so awesome. Plus all the hidden tech inside.

[TMarie-ebrt]

Very interesting. Thorough explanation. Neat to see how much you try to reuse metal pieces from other farm items here and there in your plan. The slope was explained very well at the end. Thanks.

[pirateever]

Very clever design. Like that you repurposed so much material.

“If the door moves, they play with it!” No truer words spoken! Awesome build! For a make shift Squeeze/shoot…I used one solid wall along one side, front wall is solid plus three 4’ walk thru corral panels as a way to contain if I need to work on my girls. I can access the front or the back while keeping them contained…seems to be working well. Thanks for sharing! Love the metal wheels being utilized! God bless✝️🙏🏻🇺🇸🐂

The gate to protect the door is a great idea. The building is a very impressive design, everything is well thought out. This building could be marketed even.

Awesome video on a great barn !! Great idea with the wheels in concrete for fence

My grandfather stopped milking in the early 70s but he loved Holsteins so much he kept raising the as beef cattle!

Man, that’s a slick setup. Economical, really functional and user friendly

I’m jealous

[darkdamen]

The old timers think about everything. The amount of experience and knowledge your dad has is quite impressive. Really well thought out and it’s a workers mentality that makes it simple to use but very complex to design then build. You guys have a great thing going. Looks like your dad wil be able to be really proud that the next generation will do a great job. Farm is good hands. Good job and best of luck.

[tipperarymick]

This isn't just a barn, it is a work of beauty too! I love the extensive use of Oak, the attention to detail, and the way ye used the old wheels to make the railings surrounding the yard. Truly a project ye can all be justifiably proud of.

[brianrobinson]

Best video on YouTube!!!! Your dad is a very smart and creative man. He really knows how to build something that will last long and won't cost a fortune to build.

I found your channel because your channel it was one of the few channels that had any information on harvesting corn on less than a ginormous scale, But now that I see your whole operation your farm is amazing I love everything about this channel and what you’ve been doing.
