Time consuming but that would definitely work! Thanks for the help my friend. It would be worth it for the chicken breast packages if nothing else. They are the worst about it.

Glad I could help! 😁

I strongly disagree. Yes it depends on a lot of factors. Property type being one. We are flat with no nearby water. The individuals maturity is another. This girl picks up on things fast. The teacher being another. If you feel unsafe doing so I respect your decision. I’ve been running this equipment & much larger for over 20 years. I know the in & outs. I never leave her alone while she is out there. Her brother knows he is not allowed anywhere near her while she is operating equipment. It’s funny because she pretty dang good running my tractor for me as well. In fact better than some of the adults I work with daily for that matter.

@@michaelstrahl watch some videos of accidents with kids mowing. 9 year olds can obviously drive a zero turn. But they are not old enough to be aware of the danger while running the blades. I have a 4 kids and none of them mow at age 9 with that type of mower. Too dangerous, bad idea.

Hey thanks! There’s just some days you need to hear that and today is one of them! Greatly appreciated!

Dang I hate to hear that! I’ve seen those reviews out there. And you adjusted those 2 nuts on the valve itself? I’ve only been running them for about 5 weeks now but so far they’ve been awesome. That is after I got them adjusted which did take me a bit to get how I wanted them.

@@michaelstrahl I’m tempted to dig it out and try again. I have adjusted the nuts multiple times. Either way it seems to keep filling up and overrunning. I didn’t think it needed a pressure reducer but maybe it does

You should give it another shot! Definitely check pressure though. I didn’t need a regulator. I fell within the parameters they recommend. My pressure is around 40 psi. It’s just an awesome system but I can definitely see the frustration if I had to deal with constant leaks!

Thank you so much for the feedback. I think the main thing regarding my tempo is to just find a way to make it flow better which I think will come with practice. I do a lot of editing because I actually have a hard time speaking clearly believe it or not. Causes me to repeat myself a lot. I’ll get it figured out though. I’ll never be able to be the guy that speaks slow. My brain runs to fast for that but I can probably slow it down just a touch. I appreciate the support. If there’s any content ideas you have based on what you’ve seen me do I’m all ears!

Glad you liked it! Happy to help. There’s a handful of market videos on here but I tried to tackle it from a different perspective. Thanks for the support!

Feel free to look up the phrase matter of months if you would like. You will see it refers a period of time lasting between a few weeks to few months. I don’t believe I used the phrase incorrectly and her birthday is early fall so I’m not sure what you are getting at but you’re welcome to try again if you would like.

That’s exactly what I’m after. Making memories she will remember & teaching work ethic. Glad you had a father that could create those memories for you. 😁

Oh trust me my friend I completely understand what you are saying! The yard was my chore before I could see over the handlebar. I mowed 2 of my neighbors yards with a reel mower back then as well. Talk about a workout. They are spoiled with the equipment I have but I can promise you they know what hard labor looks like as well. They work their butts off for me when I ask them too

I appreciate that! Means a lot. 🙏🏻

Oh wow that’s awesome! I love the old school ways in most cases. That old town feel so to speak. I’m working with both of mine & how to talk to customers at our market. They are getting there but they both can be so hyper at times. Baby steps but they will get there. They are super helpful on the farm though!

@@michaelstrahl It’s like you’re raising functional members of society or something! 🙌🏻

Oh I sure hope so! We are headed in the right direction but I’m sure the teenage & young adult age will bring all new challenges!

@@michaelstrahl Oh it’s always something! Lol My girls are approaching teen years and something I am so glad we do is constant communication. They aren’t allowed to use devices. When they were 8, I taught them that they needed to save for a phone when they are 12 so they could babysit. Well, when my oldest turned 12, I still wasn’t ready. You’d think telling a 12 year old girl that we are pausing the whole phone thing until we figure out some things would lead to chaos and terror. It didn’t. She was disappointed but because we have conversations about WHY we do things and even ask her questions about how she will handle things like that (AND we all spend time together rather than us using devices all the time) she was not upset. I’m so proud of how she handled that! This last school year alone, she has about 200 hours of service hours

I love this! It gives me hope. I’ve tried my best to maintain certain values from the old days. We sit down & eat together every night. If anyone ever breaks the no electronics rule at the table it’s me. 😞 I need to do better. They are both pretty good saving their money & very rarely fight me on the electronic rules I have which are way more strict than every friend they have. I’m pretty tough on them but I also show them a ton of love. Hopefully they grow up respecting me for the way I’ve raised them & not despising me for it. There’s so many a-hole kids out there today & it makes it hard to explain to my kids when these kids are so mean or why they have everything under the sun given to them. You are right though communication makes a huge difference. Hopefully I can keep those lines open as they get older!

Oh trust me we are mostly on the same page. We have the phone conversation here and there. 14 sounds pretty good to me. If I do it earlier it’ll be one of those kid version flip phones. They do have tablets but they might see 2-3 hours a week of time on them. We have other things to do around here! Appreciate it the support my friend!

@@michaelstrahl for a dad your pretty knowledgeable

I appreciate that. Years of hardships & watching friends raise their kiddos before I had any of my own taught me a lot. Always learning!

@@michaelstrahlon the phone thing my thing as a parent is I'm waiting until you have phone responsibilities to need one (atletics, after school club, job, volunteer work)

@@maldenfoster yes I agree completely. When the time comes I need to get ahold of them & can’t will be the time this gets considered. We don’t just drop our kids off anywhere & leave them right now. If we do take them somewhere it’s with another parent we know & trust. Sports or after school activities will honestly be the time we consider this topic.

No we aren’t there yet. It’s still a little tall and heavy for her to handle just yet. She does handle my tractor pretty well though! I’ve got videos posted of her running it as well. She picks this stuff up fast! In the meantime trimming it still my chore. 😜

Hey I appreciate it. Still going strong. They lose connectivity every once in a while for some reason. They usually pop right back though. Alarms work well. I’ve had it go off a few times when I left the door open to long. Batteries show close to full charge still. I haven’t charged them since the install 8 months ago. Definitely still glad I got them!

No sorry I haven’t been able to find that either. The motor, sprinkler wand, and the ramp seem to be pretty easy to obtain but other than that parts are scarce.

That’s awesome! I would have to agree. I’ve my cows,pigs, and now chickens all on automatic water now. Huge difference! You have any suggestions on the misting system or where to buy parts? It’s not something I really have to have but I wouldn’t mind doing it eventually. We occasionally have heat index’s that’ll get over 100.

@michaelstrahl My husband and I actually our own channel and we have the video on making the mister system. It's JK Feather Ranch and we posted it a little bit ago. The mystery system is temperature triggered so as soon as it hits 95 degrees the system turns on so you don't have to worry about not being home if the temperature sudden spikes and you don't have to worry about overwatering since as soon as it's cool enough the system shuts off.

Well that sounds exactly like what I’m looking for! I go over and take a look at what you’ve done. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! Yes very much so. It’s hard keeping up with all of my projects, businesses, young family, and everything else I get myself into! Projects like these make life so much easier! 😁

Thanks! I’m in Indiana. I only raise meatbirds from late March to beginning of October. Freezing won’t be an issue for because I’ll be done before then. I’ll just make sure the line is drained and probably bring the waterers in out of the weather. I plan to bring my layer flock into my greenhouse this winter. Still working on that plan but that should eliminate all of my water freezing issues completely at that point!

Thanks I appreciate it! Appreciate you watching. 😁

Thanks! It’s worked out great so far.

Thanks! I’ve got some updates I’m in the process of posting now to the big one. Should be uploaded by morning. I plan to do a walkthrough on it as well though in the very near future. 😉

That’s what those birds are called! I couldn’t remember for the life of me. 😜 Yes they know and always have! Last night was just WAY worse than the usual I’m use too. I’m talking probably 30 or so of those dudes just everywhere. New bird houses are actually on my list this summer! We use to have several but they have seen better days. Have a great weekend! 😎

And here you are choosing to make disrespectful comments to someone you don’t know based on one 60 second video that I intended to be more humorous than anything. We all have our bad days. I choose to try and make light of those days and wake up the next day and start over. Apparently you were given the gift of criticizing others instead of just shaking your head and moving on. You are no better than me my friend. I’m an imperfect soul just like you. We could all be a little more appreciative of the blessings God has given us. Thanks for pointing out my flaws though. I’ll be sure to do better just for you!

🤣 I’m usually not bothered but last night was just special. I was on the struggle bus. 😉

Yea we get bats out here too. There was still sunlight out at this time. I could these were birds. Some of them are those red wing black birds. The bats are fun to watch right at dark. They go crazy. I’ll look into that repellent. Thanks for the tip!

All good my friend! I use it when needed. The genetics I ended up with are nuts. Red head, brown eyed, left handed, and dark complected. I’ve grown up outdoors and spend hours most of my days outdoors. I take the sun seriously but I also kinda know what my exposure limits are. Vitamin D is also important! Good looking out though my friend! I appreciate ya! Ginger’s have to stick together!😁

Works out pretty well for them and me! 😁

Thanks for the feedback. Editing is not my strong suit but I’m learning. I’ll work on it! What editing software you recommend? I’m still using iMovie since it’s free. I’ve considered getting Final Cut. I’m an all apple device user so I figured that made the most sense. Any thoughts? Thanks for the support!

@@michaelstrahl strangely enough I've never used iMovie. I think if you're comfortable with it, it's fine. I love final cut pro 7, I've been using it for many years. But I've had the modernize and I'm using final cut pro x. It's a major learning process and I'm struggling because it's such a large change. It seems easy to work with the audio though. It definitely has a lot of possibilities. You can isolate a voice from background noise. It is pretty awesome if you're in a noisy room or outside with wind. I'm actually not a fan of Adobe premiere especially on earlier versions. it's really hard to deal with audio.

Ok that’s good to know. I feel pretty limited with iMovie. It’s what I had so I just went with it. I don’t know how advanced I want to be but I don’t want the software to be what limits me. I’m trying to figure out how everyone does the slide overlays on screen. For example if I wanted to do a cost break down while I’m talking about a project. iMovie has been great to get started but I feel like there are some efficiencies I’m missing out on because of its beginner oriented nature. I think Final Cut is probably the investment I need to make in the future.

@@michaelstrahl maybe you'd have an easier time learning it. It's just so tough for me because I know the previous version so well. There's definitely a lot of RUclips videos out there that help with final cut pro x. I don't think I've done graphics in it at all. I will have to check it out. We usually make graphics in Photoshop and bring them in FCPx.

I'm watching your Farmers market video. Come to the conclusion you just talk fast. I think you should try to talk slower for your videos. I would have liked to have seen closeups of the other booths. Ever watch Just a few acres? I found your channel b/c Pete stopped raising pigs. He does a great job with his videos. If you watch the really early ones, you see his improvement.

You got it! I’ll get a video put together here soon and post it. I’ve got some pics of when I did the build and I’ll talk about where I sourced my parts as well as dimensions. Give me a few weeks and I’ll see what I can do

I’m vaguely familiar with Jerry but don’t recall the comedy bit you are thinking about. That’s funny tho! 🤣

That’s pretty much what was going through my head at the moment! Haha!

I couldn’t agree with you more! Lmao!

That’s interesting! Never had an issue with that before. I think I would be curious as well though if I had that happen. We have those roadrunner birds everywhere here

Doesn’t that just drive you nuts? Animals can be so smart and so dumb at the same time. 😜

Hey I appreciate that! We all have to start somewhere. I don’t if I’ll ever get that big. Seems like a lot of headache once you get to that size. I’d just like to get to a point that I can quit my full time career and make my living at home with the multiple income streams I’m trying to currently build. RUclips is just one of those endeavors. I really enjoy being able to put something in a video with the hopes that someone can learn a little something or hell even learn maybe what not to do as well. 😁

The metal is roofing that Menards sells. I do know there are different gauges available though. The shelter does a pretty good job of staying in place. I just had to fix the weak points. Time will tell as they get bigger if it stronger this year or not. 🤞🏻

I think you could easily adapt this to work for other livestock as you mentioned. That’s what I love about RUclips. You can take an idea and say hey I could probably make this work for me and just change this one thing!

That is pretty crazy! It’s fun watching all the different animals interact with each other out here sometimes.

Thank you for sharing! That’s amazing! I appreciate the support and kind words. One of my biggest fears is not preparing my kids properly to survive in the world on their own one day. Hopefully I’m on the right track! 🙏🏻

Hey! I didn’t know the answer but the website has a good bit of info on it. Here’s a link I was able to find. Hopefully that helps! mocreo.com/doc/manual/support/measure/how-often-is-the-sensor-measured-Z.html
