A Tour of the New Barn! 

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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

“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 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.

Best video on RU-vid!!!! 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.

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!

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.

The amount of brains and thought that went into this is outstanding!

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

That is a real nice barn. And it’s so nice to see the cattle are so calm, showing how calm you are working with them. Nice finishing touches to the barn too!

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.

I love and respect the enthusiasm and knowledge with which Dad narrates the experience and foresight that went into designing and building the barn.

Very nice barn your dad did a very nice job on the design of the barn and explaining how it was built love your videos

I chuckled through this entire video. George at his finest.

Congratulations to your Dad on having the perseverance, knowledge and ability to build such a nice barn. One thing that your dad forgot to do was to smile, it always seems more inviting for people watching the video. It is great that you, your dad and brother can all work together to make the farm successful. Always enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.

Very impressed with all the thought that went into the cattle building! Great job all around! A lot of simple, uncomplicated engineering and practical applications that go a long way to make the building durable, dependable and highly functional. The cattle look to be of high genetic quality too! Have a great 2023 and beyond...

You guys did some serious thinking and planning prior to building. Great Video!

Wow, that building has your father spirit locked into it's design. A nice way to write your family history. This building is build to last and well thought. Enjoy the fruit of hard labor. Congrats

Thanks for the barn tour and pointing out the interesting special features. I like the use of the old steel wagon wheels. The oak boards over the manger is unique. Blessings to you all.

My 10x30x30 barn, is made of mostly salvaged machinery crates at a cost of $2500 . It is used as a workshop and storing VW Vans . I grew up on a farm where I learned to become an engineer . The wood was stored for six years as the work began when I retired .

I find the thinking and planning and "scheming" to make it best for the intended use(s) the most enjoyable part of the whole project. I'm not a proud man but I take a lot of personal pride in that when I'm using/working it. Its dang nice to see others the same way, reassuring that I'm not a total freak. THANKS for sharing that with us; good on y'all and job(s) well done!

Love the steel wheel looking fence.

your dad is just like my late father. thought it out b4 building anything. i've seen my dad build rafters b4 even digging the foundations and they fit perfect. guys like them are rare.

Great job Gierok’s. A lot of thought and heart went into the new barn. Thanks for continuing to share your farm life.

That barn is impressive, if your Dad quits farming he could start a dairy barn design and construction company, great job

Wow, very impressive. Your dad has a lot of wisdom and common sense. Thank you for sharing.

all the little tricks to make you life easy and save time you get more done in the time you have. when you stop the cows from doing harm to you barn life is good. love you farm

George Gierok,,,,master class farmer.

Very well thought out for long-term durability and use. I liked all the extra steps to keep the cattle from ripping things apart. We did our free stall barn to slope in the middle to take use of the natural lay of the land instead of making it flat.

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

You all did a fantastic job planning and building that barn. Beautiful!!!

Great explanation of how this barn was designed and how it works. Thanks.

Great job designing to stem the natural curiosity of dairy cows 👍👍👍

What an awesome barn, made with lots of forethought!

Beautiful barn, it's cool to see all the foresight that went into planning and building this barn making it functional for your farms' needs.

That’s a nice simple cost effective barn for heifers and dry cows. Can’t wait for the other building tours. Your dad seems to be a natural on the camera. Merry Christmas

Smart man your Dad. Should start a sideline in shed building.

Great add on like the wind doors, lights, deco trim, roof design, and a great repurpose of wagon wheels. Great build from start to finish!

I just stumbled onto your channel. What a great find. Your dad thought of just about everything when he designed the barn. I was a mechanic and worked around farms. The farmers always took notes when you worked on a problem. I knew that they would never call me back again for the same problem, because they fixed themselves the next time. Most farmers are smart and very creative. Thanks for sharing your farm life.

A little of this and a little of that and a lot of thought and you have a very well made and very handy shed!! Sure works for your farm. Thanks 😊.

A lot of good thinking on the barn build, even that it may cost a bit more it pays for itself down the road.

Great job explaining everything

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

Really like the barn. Gave me some good ideas.

Loved the video Your Dad is brilliant. Keep up the good work

Really liked your barn tour & the way you designed it. Enjoyed following along with you & your explanations; features & benefits.

I like how you guys did that my grandpa used to do stuff like that on a dairy he used to help us on all Dairy he passed away last year

Well done once again....enjoy these videos with my Saturday morning coffee lol....I agree with a lot of the other comments...simple and effective design....listening to your dad explain his thought process reminds me of my dad lol...all the small time farmers no matter where they are from must be kindred spirits lol

Very well thought out.love the farmer engineering with all the scrap pieces being repurposed.

Very interesting. Lots of practical planning

Wow, Your pops is amazing in his thought process & abilities. It’s nice to see old time farmers. My pops raised 50 head of cattle when I was a kid & a lot of the things you guys do remind me of my childhood. I used to throw down silage & bed the cattle with him however went into a non farming career. Tks for great memories & always help pops wherever needed. I sure miss mine.👍👍❤️❤️.Merry Christmas from my family in NW Ohio to yours.

What a beautiful well thought out barn

I have just found your channel, well done. I have learned a lot and I have subscribed and will be watching eagerly from Ireland 🇮🇪

i just found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. Your Dad thought of everything when he built that barn ,after using it for a couple years are there anythings he would do different. That wheel fence is unique, I've never seen anything like that before.I'm from NE Wisconsin, seeing the hills you farm you must be in western Wisconsin?

You could be a consultant for all these homesteader’s starting up with no experience!

Very well thought out! I really like the wheel fence and the picket fence!

Budowa hali z drewna i zachowane koła maszyn rolniczych . I BOKSY I ruchome zapory super rozwiązanie.

I really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!

This was a really awesome video keep up the great work your dad is a natural GOD BLESS MERRY CHRISTMAS 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👍👍👍

I’m all row crops but man this barn is great. You guys put a ton of thought into how to do this right.

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

Great looking barn and very functional. Great experience behind the design.

Hello just subscribed your very smart nice build. Your cattle look great and seem to be calm around you. You must treat them very well. Look forward to watching more. Have a great day

phenominal work guys !

Wow looks great

Love the farm boy ingenuity I'm in construction and I would hire your dad for stupid money great video

very informative, the simple ideas are always the best, can't beat practical experience.

That's a beautiful barn

A great and well thought out barn!

Very much enjoyable 😉 👍

That gable looks like the perfect place for a barn quilt!

What a beautiful barn!

Really neat ideas on the gates , latches and hinges! Thanks for the tour and especially the explaination. Very nice barn.

Very resourceful. I like that way of thinking.

By sloping the concrete I think it also adds convenience in cleaning also especially if you want to powerwash after using the skid steer hope it slopes to where you stockpile manure before spreading on your fields.

Very good design 👌 👍

Well planned and thought out! Experience tells you what you need… Love the videos

Fantastic. 👍

Very smart guy

Really cool barn, you can tell a lot of thought went into designing and building it

I love the barn , real nice

That is a beautiful, functional barn. Love all the wood work at the front of barn.

That's a nice barn!!!!!!!

Looking at your hands, you must be a farmer . 😁

I like that you built the barn on the grade of the ground & kept the roof level . It saves you lots of $ on moving a lot earth on 4’ difference in 90’.

well done

Barn looks great!!! Congratulations!!! Looks like you deserved it. John T.

Great video
