Zawada Farms
Добавлен 21 ноя 2015
Zawada Farms was started in the 1930’s by my grandparents. They were a dairy farm, milking Holstein cows in there 15 stall barn, like many other farmers in that era. Using horses at first, to work the ground for planting, grandpa eventually purchased several tractors which are still in use today.
My parents began farming in the 1980’s and didn’t wait long before building a new milk barn. Switching over to a pipeline milking system in the new barn, they were able to milk more cows quicker.
More cows meant more land and more crops to feed them. More equipment was also needed to work the land. We grew corn, oats and barley along with baling our own hay.
My parents eventually retired from milking cows and dads day job at the factory in 2014.
My wife and I now raise beef cows, chickens, pigs, and lambs. We also still make our own small square bales of hay.
Our pumpkin patch is the latest addition to the many things that keep us busy. I also work off the farm at a factory as well.

Spring Sheep Shearing

After a long winter and a rainy spring it’s time for some new summer clothes. Our sheep have been sporting their winter coat long enough and it’s time for a close shave. We hired a professional to do this job so nobody gets injured. Sit back and enjoy some oddly satisfying shearing. #sheep #satisfyingvideos

Nice pumpkins
Enjoyed your video! My Grandpa had a Massey Harris 44. He farmed near a little town in central PA called St. Thomas. I was interested particularly when you mentioned that your grandfather passed away on this tractor. My grandfather passed away on his, too. 75 years old, raising Angus, hogs, and chickens-farming about 80 acres. He loved that tractor, no doubt because for a good part of his life he farmed (dairy) with horses-he was born in 1886. It was fun watching your Dad!
Is the chopper a papec?
It can be kinda aggravating when the cattle won’t let you do what needs to be done. Sometimes they can be a little tame & just won’t get out of the way. Thank you for this video & I hope that you are having a good day.
Why is the hay wrapped in plastic? Really
Great video Mike. Always enjoy watching you and your family on the farm. What happened to your friend Ben? He hasn’t put out a video in months. 🤷♂️
@@canmetro75 I think he’s just busy, I stopped by and he assured me he had videos he was uploading! 🤷♂️
Amazing video they so happy love it
Dad/Grandpa may not get around as well anymore, but he hasn't lost his touch with running the baler and controlling the kicker on the corners. Had the same baler and only lost bales when the wagon got full, they would bounce off on those types of corners. Beautiful pup!
@@kswaynes7569 That dog is in heaven following my dad around. Dad gives him a fresh bone every couple days and you can see him carrying it around like a trophy.
Awesome video
Man i remember those days.
Nice lookin hay. Best head scratcher in the pasture.
Great video. Thanks!
Do those round bails get mouldy and if so does it affect the cattle? I know you can’t feed horses mouldy hay. Just wondering.
Farmers, Cowboys, they are all hot!!! I’m sure that goes for the women too!!! Wish I had the strength, grit and fortitude as the amazing humans!!! So grateful for your videos!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Little know fact about these old engines is that they require a lit cigarette to start
Man that’s a nice tractor
when my daughter was a little girl, whenever we would drive by the farm, I would say, "Thank you cows for all the nice things" and it did not take her long to say it as well. Then we would list the things that cows gave us and it was a good way to teach her, and a lot of fun too. My daughter is now 51 and I am...old! I say now, "Thank you cows AND farmers for all the nice things!"
Trust me , that ain't rough . He's very young . Just wait until he's 3 years old
👀?
Get rid of that steel hay ring, we lost 8 cows and there calf's by lightning hitting one! Just I thought love your cows, Robert Alabama
The bull just tries to tear the wrapping with the horns he no longer has. But in his brain they are still there.
Happy boy
THANK YOU FARMERS.
Does it still have cams
Wow those are some beautiful Herefords
Get them a street sweeper brushes and mount it straight up on end, they can scratch themselves on that, and they will love you for it.
Bull seems kinda peaceful to me
I love how the dog is supervising everyone. 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful cattle
All the young bull is trying to do is scratch his face. You really want to see something buy them a cattle brush. And I’ll bet if you put a ball out there he would play with it like a yoga ball. He wasn’t mad or upset he was just having a little fun and trying to get a good scratch.
Where does he get rough ?lol
Kinda disappointing
That heford bull got rough and seemed angry with the round bale 😳 good job. Why did that heford Bull seamed angry with round bale? because he wants the haybale injoy your round hay bale I don't think john deere makes small round bale for john deere compact utility tractors Uh oh the heford bull got rough with the round bale the heford Bull is happy with the round bale
The Bull is itching his head, get him a scratching post!
Your beautiful
She’s cute aww
They want cow brushes
Every kid in every city in every country should work on a farm for a year.
Good to watch how well he's doing it, how the sheep is taken care of. Glad no one was hurt. I've seen many scenes where the sheep were totally abused and some even died .. put me off shearers. But this is reassuring again. Can't be easy on the back, all the bending down and the weight of the sheep. Thanks.
Oh hes too cute
@@CreativeMoments92 Thanks for checking out the video. I looked over your library of videos too. Keep it up 👍
@@zawadafarms7402 thanks for stopping by.
That boy handsome
Great video! Love that the one is afraid of your dog.
Dinner Date with the ladies!
He just wants to scratch,maybe some more scratch posts in the field.
When I was 14 I had a argument with a grown Hereford bull about chowing down on the green corn. He also had a nice set of horns. Had to bend 8 feet of 1/2 inch pipe in and around his horns. Twice. I guess he thought the 1st thump was a mistake. The convincing part. A. Do not run over me. B. Leave the corn and go back to the pasture. The pasture was over a mile away. That was in 1962. He also was a $10,000 bull. The nieghbhor was glad to get him back. Probably hurt the bull's pride more than his head. Also green corn is not a good thing for a bovine to stuff itself full of. It can kill them.
