Hardest working girls on RUclips ..well done ..
Thank you so much 😊
The best girls on the internet, never afraid to give a helping hand, you all must be proud... God bless you all
We’re very proud
Chad you and your wife did a outstanding job raising those girls,they work hard on what they do
Thank you Ron!
Chad I think your sweet girls love you so much that's why their out there helping you wanting to be busy. YOU have such amazing daughters sweet and Gorgeous. Tell Haylee I love her long silky beautiful strawberry color hair. All your girls have amazing Hair. Girls are such great💪 helpers. They will have such awesome memories when they are older and have their own families in 10-15 years from now. looking back at all those great times they all had with their Dad and Mom. Chad embrace these time you have with them now because as they get older they may not want to be helping so much. Can wait to see the girls milking the cows that's if you are getting milking cows. Love you all be safe Godspeed. ❤❤❤❤✌🙏🙏
Thank you Alan. We’re getting beef cows.
Love the way the girls help without any back talk , I was also raised to help and my dad , we did it out of love not any threatening of any kind, love this channel and love the family, 😊
That’s good to hear. I don’t think work around the farm would be fun to anyone if there were threats to get someone to work. Keeping away from electronics and tv all day really opens the door to willingness to want to participate in outdoor activities such as building stuff.
You all remind me of a younger Gridlessness when they first started youtube. All daughters and hardworking with many skills under their belt. Their doing a family summer run down south traveling this year for the first time as a summer school project. Your daughters would love to be in their shoes right now.
Gridlessness is some amazing people! They are definitely living it up and having a great time!
This new property is way more better than your original cabin. It's obvious the girls are much happier too. You girls and guy ROCK!
That for sure! We are all much happier here! Thank you and have a great night!
It would be really sweet if momma would show us some of her cooking recipes and how she makes that yummy food.
Cutting branches is all about teamwork. Good to see you keep the girls busy. Great video and the new place is perfect for you guys.
Thanks
Your beautiful daughters are very helpful You are getting cows how nice.
Thank you Estella! Hope you’re doing well! Take care!
Hi Chad, great video.I love watching you and your girls you guys work so well together and very anxious to see the cows.I'm just an old dude living the dream through you,keep up the good work.See you next time
Hi Jim! Nice hearing from you! You will be seeing our new cows soon! Take care
I really enjoy watching your family’s projects & progress! The girl’s are becoming beautiful young ladies! I love watching the girl’s willingness to pitch in whenever you need their help!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Blessing’s
Loving seeing how far you have come brother, alot of young people could sure learn from watching your young ladies, cattle is going to be great on the homestead
Great to see your kids enjoying helping you on the farm
My boys started helping me on my hobby farm projects
when aged 6 & 7. now they are 30 & 31 and have taken over all
of our projects . I sit back and give directions now 😂😂😂
Perfect! 😆
The new homestead just blows away the old off grid cabin. So stoked for you guys.
It sure does !
Beautiful. Everything about this is beautiful. Spring is coming and your homestead is going to be Green and full of life and all that it has to offer. Hugs to the girls.🥰❤️
❤️
Thx Chad you have a great team there , it makes light work . Puppy is adorable .🙏💕
Thank you Carolyn
Great job so far Blessed is the family with such daughters.
Thank you Thomas
You guys and gals are awesome! Love every time you guys post! God Bless your family!! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thank you Maggie
Impressive. Very well done especially still in winter. Both you and the girls are tough as nails. Going with cattle is for me the top of the homestead ladder. That is a lot of work even compared to sheep or especially chicken. My hats off. Take care.
Thank you! Have a great night
0:56 I was really expecting Autumn to pick up the chain saw and start it with one pull, 🤣
😂
So cool seeing the girls so motivated and working really well ...good team ❤
You and your helpers did a great job on the pen. Can't wait to see the new additions. It's really awesome to see how your girls love to help dad with the work. You are truly blessed.
Awesome video no one can say your beautiful adorable girls don't do anything because they are very hard workers stay warm outthere I am still in pain but it's in Gods hands Rosa
Thank you Rosa. Someone once told me that pain is just a reminder that you’re alive . I never really understood it but I guess it sounded good. Lol. I hope your pain gets under control and you get to feeling better. Take care Rosa
It has been fun watching the videos of your first off grid cabin. My wife and I looked at that cabin about 5 years ago and were close to purchasing it but decided that we wanted something closer to the road. We did end up purchasing a place about 10 miles NW on the other side of M123. We have recently converted to all solar and have not used the propane generator for almost a year now. My wife grew up 1/4 mile from the falls and graduated from Paradise High School. We are loving our off grid living and hope to spend more time there after we retire in a few short years.
You must be in the snow belt. How was your winter this year?
@@9252LIFE winter was not as snowy as last year mostly due to warm ups and rain. We are 14 miles north of Newberry about 11 miles south of Lake Superior so we are definitely in the snow belt. We are only about a mile off m123 and a couple of our neighbors keep the road open. Definitely need snowshoes or snowmobiles to get the 300 yards down the driveway. Will be up next when the smelt are running.
You have a fine team of workers 👍 best wishes from Cornwall England ♥️
Thank you Terry
like the video. you can weave the t post through the fence it will make it strong.sorry about the snow and cold. the young ladies are dong a great job. make your dad make a chocklet cake. be bless and love and safe. oh nice new puppy it will be love. SAVANNAH TN.
I've been wondering, young man, how things have been up your way with the weather and such... good to see it hasn't slowed your family down! And now for the part where I just have to say how truly blessed you and your lovely wife are having such incredible young ladies like your daughters!! I'm just so impressed by their attitude to work... they will go far. And seeing Taleah smile is just so heartwarming!! One thing I might suggest is getting a battery chainsaw as a backup...there are some good ones that don't cost a fortune! Looking forward to seeing your new additions in the near future! And as always, thanks so much for sharing your adventures... greatly appreciated!! And as always, take care, be safe and may God continue to bless your family!
Thank you Jim! Yeah those battery powered saws look like they do alright.
I love that your girls like to be out there helping you!
Man I wish I had hard working helpers like you have great dad time great memories
❤Your family's terrific. So glad they are learning these skills.
I really enjoy watching you all working on your little farm , its such a beautiful place and to see your family working together is a treat. Enjoy they grow up way to fast.
Glad to hear that Rita! Yes they are growing extremely fast!
Another great video ya'll!! I've said it before and I'll say it again those young ladies are amazing hard workers like Dad ya'll are really Makin the homestead look beautiful congratulations on gettin cattle. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy ya'lls family time and homestead
Thank you Mike!
Those young ladies ❤such work ethics 👍and that new puppy 🐶❤Chad you got it all there brother🙏✌
Almost think that saw's a poulan! Keep on poulan and poulan and the damn thing never starts!
😆 I’ve had better luck with a Poulan!
There’s no task Chad and his crew can’t handle .. good job ❤🎉
Thank you Bruce
Got a lot of work done. and you showed off my dog Kerchak and the new pup are cute too.
Yeah and it was too cold for Isaac to join us
Just wondering why the cute puppy is outside I am sure you explained it earlier 😍 I love watching and feel like I am right there cutting the limbs and clearing. Really looking forward to bringing the cows home.🐄🐄🐄❤️👏
They are a cold weather breed. If they are inside they’d be miserable. Our boy Kerchak comes inside every now and then but you can tell he wants back out as he is uncomfortable because of the heat. Also keeping them outside in the winter will allow their natural winter coat to be full as it’s supposed to. Bringing them in will mess up the cycle.
I was so glad to see this video pop up this morning. Great job building the cow enclosure, so good to see everyone pitching in to get the job done. You have an incredible family, thanks for sharing your life with all of us out here in youtube land.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. Have a great day
Great job. Just having someone to do the work with makes it better. Thanks for sharing!
You folks have a real farm, now! I'm excited for you! That livestock guardian dog will really be an asset on the farm. You may eventually need another one as your flocks increase. Enjoy!
So far Kerchack does a great job. But that’s why we got the new puppy so he has a girlfriend for future pups .
Your family has done an amazing job on that property.
Thank you
Great video, Chad. Of all compliments, YOU are a great Dad! And Naomi is stellar!!
Thank you Billie!
Nice pen and hopefully you'll put some electric on the cow fence.
As a dairy farmer, believe me cows will find a weakness and it's no fun getting them back in 😜. What a sweet puppy. Looking forward to the new additions. Blessings to you all. 😊🇺🇲
We have thought about it but at first they are scared enough so we figure we’ll hold off on the electric until they calm down a bit. They will be running with our sheep this spring and summer on fresh paddocks so we’ll definitely get them used to our hot wire. They are accustomed to a one wire electric fence as they were moved daily in the summer months
Glad you’re growing the homestead. With those combination panels you can also run a couple hogs with the cows.
Thank you David. We don’t eat pork so hogs most likely won’t be needed here. We’ll run the cows on pasture with the sheep this spring and summer
Besides panels of cattle wiring, I found that welded reinforced rolls of the wires that are used in concrete also work great
Chad....what a great idea with using the drill and wire to tighten the wire with...wish I thought of that when I did my fencing. So .. the good thing is if I have to fix anything I know I can do that. Thanks 👍. Have a wonderful day and will be looking forward to your next video... blessings 💞
Hi Mary! I bet twisting all that wire by hand was a good time! 😆
Your girs are amazing. I love that when they learn things for the life. They are a beauty bunch of girls, haha. You must be very proud as a father with girls ike them.
Yes I am extremely proud of all of them.
They make spring loaded wheels that you can mount to your gate so it rolls the wheel. Is Monika shaft shaft has a spring that goes up and down with the wheel that would work really good for your gate. Great job with you and your children. Your whole family.
I was trying to come up with something around our house to use for a wheel. We spent quite a bit of money on the enclosure so far so the gate will have to do how it is for now. Hope you’re doing well and enjoy the week Jerry!
Yes yes yes!!!! I love having cows, so excited for you all!
Haven’t seen any videos from you lately?
@9252 LIFE been pretty busy all winter, started with covid, than I got my trapping license and learned how to tan hides. Then I gave myself a concussion because I'm cool like that. 🤣😂🤣 and been very busy with our all calves (bottle feeding) now we have started the maple syrup season and I wrote a guidebook about chickens I'm hoping to publish on Amazon in the next week or two... soooo basically been insanely busy and RUclips/socials took a bit of a back seat! Catching up on your videos now. 😁
@@WildOnesHomestead I hear yuh on all the busy stuff! Trapping sounds like fun! Bottle feeding not so much. 😆
Fantastic job as always Chad you are so blessed with those 4 beautiful daughters always willing to help you out and for you teaching them skills that will last a life time. Can’t wait to see the new live stock. Love 💕 y’all!
Thank you Shelly!
Try turning the reciprocating saw blade upside down (cutting edge up). Also, try a 4" side grinder with a metal cutting wheel to cut that heavy wire. Like the videos and y'all are doing a great job on the new place.
I can’t seem to find my grinder anywhere! Lost in the move I guess
Wow, excited for what to see and watch this year. Looking good!
You and them girls sure do some nice work! Ya'll take care and be safe up there! ❣❣❤❤❤❣❣
Thank you! ❤️
Congrats. That is amazing and wonderful. I see the girls right there with you helping in every way and enjoying doing it. That is great. Thank you for sharing, love it when you do. The Homestead is growing steadily. Blessings
Thank you Margaret! Have a great night
Awesome job girls .. helping your dad out
Thank you Marti!
Teamwork makes the dream work ❤✌🏼😎
Never seen anyone bend there panels at the corners, not going to say it's right or wrong. But if you ever need to bend them back, put them flat on the ground with the bent end up, and use your tractor to bend them back. I did like your idea for the gate, never seen that done either! We used the same wire to tie the panels to the Post, but we would double it. You know double the length, then fold in half. You know with a pair of pliers, duct tape, and baling wire you can pretty well fix anything!
😂 i wish I would’ve thought of duct tape at the time! 😂
Outstanding to all the hard work your wonderful girls do
You may want to check out the battery powered 6" chain saws. I use mine on Mesquite branches up to 6" in diameter. Very light weight and effective.
Great Video keep them coming. Sorry you have all that cold white stuff on the ground.
Had the same convo with the wife about 2 years ago when she was hedge cutting - told her not to cut the cord. She then rolled her eyes at me and then proceeded to cut the cord TWICE 😂.
😂
I found it was good to get the cows familiar to bucket feeding grain so you can easily retrieve them if needed. They are suckers for hobby mix.
Good job you guys!!! Puppy is a beautiful new addition!!!❤🤗👍
Thank you Rebecca!
May God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
❤️
Great job on clearing out all the trees. Gonna be a great place to house the cows 🐄 😊
Thank you Robert
Great team effort , good job , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you Michael!
A 40 feet shipping container would make a great barn with long carport like for weather outside. could make 2 or 3 rooms divided
Oh my gosh! Thanks for the tip on using a drill instead of manually twisting!! You are a lifesaver. My rams night pen fence is loosening as I manually twisted the wire holds, I have rsi in my wrist too so it's been painful re-twisting it. I can just use my damn drill! 🤦♀️
How did I not think of this hahaha. I am a solo chick on my property though so sometimes I need tips like this. Thank you 🙏
I'm so excited for your new additions of the cattle abd that gorgeous, gorgeous pup! Welcome to the best family homestead, animals, you will LOVE it here! 😁
Glad we could help! Yes once you do that drill trick a few times it gets much easier and faster. Take care and thank you!
Great idea with using your drill to twist the wire! I used the pre-bent wire clips our supplier gave us for our fencing and they were a pain in the rear end to install 😅. Looking forward to see your new livestock 😊. Well done girls in helping dad👍
Thank you. I used those clips on our sheep and goat fence we put around the garden and they are a pain. They are also to small for the cattle panels we are using so we had to use the wire we had.
You guys are so lucky, we still have 5 feet of snow pack till we get to bare ground. Hoping by end of april we can do much of the same.
Check that spark arrestor on that exhaust of the chainsaw could be plugged up😊
Excellent job and it's so nice your daughters want to help. Your new puppy is so cute. Can't wait to see the new addition. Take care and God Bless y'all always
Thank you Lisa! You take care as well
Talk about teamwork!!!
Cows!!!.. beautiful house brother.. you guys look much happier in there
What’s up man! Yes we’re soooooo much happier here. Thank you Jason! You got the mill out yet?
@@9252LIFE oh no.. water lubricated.. nice makeshift gate.. how many cows are you getting
Really impressed with your young ladies, my granddaughter turns 10 on the 20th, she seems to really enjoy helping me on our / ( hers when she legally can own land) 7 acre creek frontage property (she loves to wade) with small log kit cabin. I’ve been trimming up low branches there and getting ready to clear out the small pond using a mini excavator. Great video!
That sounds nice Michael! It sure is nice having a nice creek! Happy birthday to your granddaughter. We’ve got a couple birthday’s coming this month also. My wife’s was the 14th and we have one on the 25th and one on the 25th! 😅
Awesome job everyone!
Thank you
Hey brother it's been awhile.. great video and looking forward to catching up on what we have missed. Hello to your family
Hey guys how’s it going out there?
@9252 LIFE it's going at a snail pace lol but we are happy and making progress
@@OffGridGrowing that’s good to hear! We got ten steps backwards in the two years we moved off grid. 😂 Keep on grindin!
Tractor supply has clips that just twist on with a special tool. Thy are supposed to ask if you want them hen you buy panels. EVery time I have asked, they give me a lot of them because most people don't know about them. And they are free.
They only had the clips for the smaller gauge sheep and goat fencing. The cattle panels are to big for them to fit.
Nice job everyone!!! Looks great! That view!!
Thank you Jill!
Awesome girls. You are doing great. Looking forward to the cows
Thank you.
Your Girls Are Hard Worker's For Sure
Looking good - being able to see around the trees and bush’s your young lady’s are awesome ! Happy Sunday ! I have a Stihl Chainsaw it practically new I can never start it they all have their special way they start haven’t mastered it yet it wears me out to the point I put it back up! My son can start it easy !
I got the same problem. I hate mine and hardly ever use it anymore. Found some odd brand I never heard of in a pawnshop for $75 and it starts right up and runs great!
Yeah that saw will wear me out pulling it faster than a hand saw will!
Awesome guys. My favorite team no matter what's involved. A great addition to security. 👍😇🐕🐶
Thank you Johnny!
a single wire hot fence would give you more flexability and adaptability- doesnt take long for the cows to respect the fence
Yes they will be in hot wire at some point but putting them in hot wire right away when bringing them here for the first time is a no no. They will run out of it.
Great video 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Cathy!
Great job, but it does raise a question. The upper peninsula has bear, wolf, coyote, cougar and bobcat. Can any of these critters jump the fence, slide through meshing, or climb trees to get inside the perimeter, Chad?
Of course! That’s why we have our guardian dog. And why we purchased another one.
Awesome 😎
Wow! Good job!
Is the new pup a dog to live with the sheep for their protection? Sheepherders in our area do that but use White Pyrenees that live with them. Fencing coming along. I had permanent pastures and always hung five strand barb wire. The girls are such wonderful helpers and that great room in the kitchen look’s wonderful! What a great decision you made leaving the off grid isolated property for your new place.
Carry on!!!
PS I worked on aircraft engines and we had to safety wire a lot of stuff. You can get safety wire pliers that have a system to twist the wire. Plus aircraft safety wire will take the twist w/o breaking. Just a thought.
If interested I will get you the supplier.
Thank you Dave. Yes the Pup will be living with the sheep full-time. She’s also a Bulgarian Karakachan like our boy Kerchak. They are some of the best guardian dogs you can get. And yes we definitely don’t regret leaving the old property that’s for sure! 😆 As far as the wire I think we’re going to put in wood post instead of the T post eventually. Make it look nicer and be a bit sturdier
Hope you guys are getting Engadine cows cause Engadine cows are happy cows!😊 Great video..
We actually got Wisconsin cows that are 100% natural pasture raised, grass only, no shots ever and thrive! They are pure bred Belted Galloways. Pretty hardy breed.
Cool music!
Thank you
OUTSTANDING
Awesome 🎉
Hiya,
Nice video; thank you all.
Why do I keep seeing in videos from the US people starting tractors etc., with the headlights on? It puts a charge-draining strain on the battery and just reduces the life of the battery by years. The starting charge is enough of a drain on its own. This is how to bend plates, and that ain't good.
Stay safe, Steve...
The tractors lights come on automatically. Must be a safety feature for us Americans.
hug you all ! :)
❤️
Cool To Fine This :)
nice work my friend cheers from Tasmania
Cheers! Thank you
You got the best girls
Good job 👏
Thank you
Great job on building the enclosure! The girls always impress me with their willingness to help. Y'all are raising awesome people!
Are y'all getting beef cows or milk cows or both?
Thank you Paulla! We are getting beef for now and considering milk. Although the Belted Galloways can be utilized for both.
@@9252LIFE - That is an interesting choice in breeds. If you haven't filmed the next video yet, please be sure to explain your choice. I would find learning about them more very interesting.
