Honestly Daniel.. it’s your farm, your animals. Live your best life!! Ignore the naysayers. ❤
That was what Ralph was for. It's Home steading raising your own food. Don't worry what others think.
I really can’t believe people have the nerve to ask how to save Ralph. He’s a Beef cattle and was feed, cared for to eventually serve his purpose and that’s to put food on the table. Plus as a owner you can control what they eat, so you know your getting a healthy Steer for your freezer, no steroids or antibiotics.
Some people just dont know about Farm Life. Its kinda natural to want to save the life of a critter they have come to be fond of....and at least ask if somehow he can be "rescued". Nerve? Not really. They just come from a different place in life where critters are pets. Not dinner.
I can see where they're coming from but like you said, he was always intended to become food. They knew that right off the bat so it should be expected that he's going to be eaten. It's a hard truth though and I doubt I could do what the Arms Family does. I kinda wish I'd grown up on a farm like this, they seem to be living the dream life. It has it's challenges though.
Love how people just don’t relate to where their food, especially meat comes from. Feed your family and carry on doing what you do so well!

I lived the farm life we slaughtered so I understand.We never named ours and made a pet like they do,,
but they have alot of people that haven't lived the life ,their aware of that and know will have a reaction.
I just suggested go ahead and slaughter him but don't make a lesson out of it and not announce it.
Do it like he does his goats he doesn't announce the slaughter of the goats.
Appreciate someone that understands both sides👍
Sure wish I lived closer to you. I can't buy beef from the store because of what the cattle are feed my body can't digest it. I get deathly ill. Can only eat beef from one that hasn't been fed soy or any antibiotics. It's hard to find good quality beef.
Pastures are normally seeded in the fall of the year due to the weather heating up in the spring. The roots will not be established and the lack of rain in the summer will cause your grass to burn up. Your steer has filled out well. Most people don’t understand where their meat comes from. Being a retired farmer myself I was always amazed when city slickers told me that their food came from the grocery store. Farmers feed America and the world.
Yah! Like brown cpiws giving chocolate milk!!!🤣🤣🙄
That last should be cows! Not whatever jumbled mess came out of Google!!!🤣🤣🙄
You should get some city slicker dude to milk a bull!🤣🤣🙄
Feeding your family is more important than pathetic and negative comments on social media. Love your content!
I'll miss Ralph. He's such a character. I understand but I'll miss him.
I do understand that Ralph was raised to feed the family. Pure beef. I must say every time you said "come on Ralph!!" I would hollar "run Ralph, run" 😂😂😂😂
I enjoy watching your channel. I live in an apartment, can’t drive, not very mobile. I just enjoy your family and always wanted to homestead, so I’ll watch you guys and several other Okie families! I don’t watch regular TV at all. Y’all believe in God and that is the first reason I like your channel.
As I have said, I miss all of your steers over the years but Ralph has been the most entertaining! You’ve always been transparent about their purpose has been. ❤️
I grew up feeding out steers and that’s what the good Lord put them on this earth for.
Nothing wrong with feeding your family. Ralph has had a great life and a very caring one ❤
You guys have always said Ralph was going to freezer camp. I can't believe folks wrote you to see if there was a way to save him. They must be new!!
Folks, there will be more for camp in the future so you might want to get ready now for it
Ralph is so funny talking to you!
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals
Well you do what you have to do. If it's Ralphs time, then that's the way it goes. God bless him, he is a good boy, I will miss him. As far as the seeder, I hope all goes well and you get some grass.🙏
I love the fact that Ralph is going to the freezer camp because that's what he was paid for just like the goats just like chickens turkeys ducks farm animals that's what their race or they're raised for food that's what we do with them I will always support you and support what you do I love your hunt in your fishing part of your videos I love your garden for your videos and I love your animal and the family aspect I did enjoy your videos thank you for posting
it is cool to see the seeder work for the first time.
I've raised my own chickens, pigs, lambs and beef for my family to live on! I named them T-bone, lamb chop, ECT ..its part of life! God bless your family!
I totally understand how you run your farm. I personally couldn’t develop a relationship with an animal, knowing he was going to become a meal. On the other hand, I also like knowing where my food comes from. Loving your channel and can’t wait for more baby donkeys.❤
Wish I could raise a cow to eat. But no can do. Glad you all think the way you do the best for your family. Have a blessed day ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'll sure miss seeing Ralph but I understand what your intention is. Gotta respect that. I'm glad the girls are going to "band camp" for possibly more donkey's. Should be fun to see how that works for ya. Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of your life on the farm.
Hello, how are you doing😊
@@MiaJones-xr2vv Do I know you??
Can’t wait to see how this new tractor works! Congratulations!
Always love what you do on your farm and the animals you get, and the animals that leave. you are always honest in what is going to happen to them or has happened. ❤
Before you sold the herd of mini Herefords you said you were keeping Ralph for freezer camp, If anyone has been around for a while they would remember Big Mac and Whopper. You have raised a steer ever since I have been following you and know farm life. You even send goats to freezer camp too. They are yours and only ours to watch. Field is going to look good. Keep up the good work. I love watching you work the animals too.
Ralph's demeaner has earned him the time of the season. We have no say so on what you do with your farm.
This family deserves everything they have u can just tell there some nice genuine people. 🇺🇸
It is what it is. No apologies or explanations needed.Keep on keepin' on with it. Best wishes for continued prosperity. Take care,stay safe and God Bless you all !!!❤😊
You need a lawn aerator. Punching holes in the ground, helps the ground to be not only more aerated but when it rains, it can capture more water then otherwise the water would just wash off the top of the soil. Also make s for the seeds to take better in fluffier soil.
You gave Ralph a good life and now he can pay you back by feeding your family. 💖
That seeder looks like it should do a good job. Praying you get the rain you need to make your pastures flourish. 💖💖💖
The animal conversations between Daniel and various animal species are hilarious! 😁 🤣 . The running commentary is informative as well as entertaining.
I admit that I am very sad about Ralph, he's grown on me. 😔 But you know what, I do love a good Ribeye! 😊😋
"beep, beep, beep"....get out of the way, chicken! You tickled me with that. So glad you are getting a chance to see that front pasture. NOw, lets hope for some nice soft rainfall this coming week, so all the seeds will germinate. Great job separating the animals for the back pasture. It sure didn't take them long to roll in the grass and fill their bellies. See you on the next video. Bev in Maine
Monday thru Thursday looks like rain.
Hey Daniel I like the fact of you making it nice bringing the grass back to the property, Go EmmaLee! 👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
I love Ralph, and I'd probably love him even more if he was in my freezer! Bon Apatit!
I'm all for freezer camp. To reap all the benefits of the work you've done the last 12-18 months. Ralph is hust fulfilling his destiny.
Hello Daniel,
I know it’s hard for some folks to be okay with sending animals that you’ve raised to freezer camp.
It’s a choice that you are blessed to be able to make.
I’d rather know that the animals that are going to be on my table, have been treated kindly, lived a good life, been loved and cared for…
Blessings of Abundance and Peace ❤
It'll be sad to see Ralph go but I understand
We use to call ours breakfast lunch and dinner, so we would not get attached to them. You have to feed the family.
I did enjoy this video. I was born and raised on a farm so when I look at Ralph I see T.bones, rib eyes etc.
don't get me wrong I love him as a steer but he has a purpose to fill
I hope you do a before and after on the pasture. I'm sure you will. This will be a great upgrade.
Never a dull moment on the farm. Good job getting the pasture seeded, Daniel. Hope you got some rain after you planted. 👍
Thanks for the vid!
❤️ from Michigan 🌊
You guys always make my day always gives me a good laugh 😂😂❤
Great ad for the beautiful tractor! WAY TO GO!
Don’t you love it when a good plan comes together! 😊
Daniel you have to be really smart to figure all that out. Hope your seed comes up.
See even Ralph telling you NO.. HE'S the star of the farm. Run Ralph Run.. But, I do understand why. Just sad he's so cute. I will buy him. Thanks for the videos of the farm.. love The Light Family from Williamsburg,Ohio
I'm not a farmer but it sure looks like you are doing an excellent job
Hi Daniel. I just watched your greenhouse video from 4 years ago. I used to be able to grow a lot of vegetables but, since I moved to the Boise mountains at 4300 feet, nothing grows up here but I do have some input for yours. When I lived in Ola at 3000 feet, I had a huge garden and I had one row of 15 tomatoes. I made 2' diameter cages out of 5' tall concrete reinforcing wire (4" squares). I'd cut the wire off the roll at about the 6.5' mark to give me the 2' diameter cages that were 5' tall. I'd cut the wire so the cut ends were sticking out. I'd roll up the cage and overlap a couple of rows then bend the tag ends of the wires over to secure the cage in a tube shape. I drove 6 tee posts, one at each end of the row and one every every 9'. I put three cages between the posts. I then ran a poly rope through the tops of the cages and secured the cages to the rope with 2 zip ties. I also secured the rope to the tops of the tee posts and then anchored the ends to an angled tee post at the ends of the row so the rope was tight and secure. 8 tee posts total and a little over 50' of rope.
I made watering tubes out of a 6' length of 2" PVC. I put a cap on one end and drilled a 1/8" hole just above the cap. I put the watering tubes, cap end down, into the cage through one of the top wire squares, with the cap next to a tomato plant. I used a hose to fill the tubes and let it slowly drain out right next to the tomato plant. Doing it that way, the water goes straight down into the soil and not all over the place. Tomatoes like deep watering so this really works well. I'd water every 2-3 days, filling the tubes twice at each watering. Needless to say, my neighbors enjoyed a very bountiful harvest.
I enjoy your videos and your adventures. Regards from another ex-cop (CHP). Rick
Thank you Ralph... I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing you. Great job Dan on the serding
Can't wait to see the results of how good the seeder works
A new big boy toy. Great job Daniel trying to improve your pastures
I'm glad you talked about the fescue in the pasture seed... I've been wanting to get some goats but... last year we seeded the yards of a house we were selling... it had fescue because it's drought resistant supposedly... we had a dog that ended up dying from eating something but we couldn't figure out what she'd eaten that she hadn't before... then we learned about some plants may not be toxic until they are under drought... so I've been doing a lot of homework but don't ever feel like I'm learning much other than just grasping at straws... I don't want to bring goats or any other farm animal in unless I can assure what is growing in the space won't kill them... I've even contemplated just killing every blade of grass or weed in my yards and then just plant alfalfa or something a vet will assure won't poison them... I think this video has probably given me more actual information than many of the sources I've been looking at online.
Ralph is freezer bound 👍 My family raised animals for food and I learned a lot about taking care of them. I believe in what you are doing with your farm. Not that it really matters because it is your farm! My Dad raised a 1800lb gertrudes/hereford cross breed that he would ride while bringing the small herd home for feeding. It was pretty cool to watch Mac kneel to let my Dad on his back and then when Dad got off he would wait for his treats and head rub. Many of his neighbors were astonished at how well they trusted each other. A sight to see for sure. The only trouble Mac ever got into was hopping a 4 strand bob wire fence to breed the neighbors cattle. When Dad realized he was out he’d hop in his truck and as soon as Mac saw the truck he would start to the house easily clearing the fences back home. My Dad would show up and Mac would play so innocent till Dad asked him what he was doing. Mac acted just like a dog does when it’s caught. So funny to watch those 2 together 😂
Our family when I was growing up my mom named our cow yum yum.
Just love those donkeys the most. They have such personalitys
Busy Days On the Arms Homestead ! Have A Great Day !
Daniel it’s amazing to know where you meat’s come from and what they eat. The Donkey girls are so beautiful love seeing how you work your farm ❤
Great as always keep the content coming and thank you for the family aspect and values you all have it's nice to see this day and time
Nice 👍 the seeder looks like a time changer
Native seeds are drought resistent. While more expensive, as you are already rotating your pastures you might see a HUGE reward for your animals.
Thanks for the heads up about Ralph's freezer camp date.
Prayers for health and safety.🙏❤🙏
Very enjoyable episode today Daniel, with your usual sense of humour !! Love that new tractor and coupled with that seeder should give you the desired results !! Best wishes to you and your entire family !! Have a great week coming up !!
If people by now do not understand you are on a homestead grow own produce and meat they must be new. You’ve never hidden the fact you raise livestock for your own family so you know what is in it. Hope the reseeding goes well and rain falls soon to help too. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend take care and God Bless. 💕🙏
Nice fence panels and gates. Thanks for video.
So amazing! Great video…thank you for taking us with you.
Save Ralph save Ralph that is sad he is gonna go I will miss Him.😢 Be safe and God-bless from Pennsylvania.
I hope your pasture is solid green in a couple of weeks. God bless you and your whole family....🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
This is how farms work. You have given Ralph a great life but he has a purpose. Keep doing what you are doing. No judgment here.
You raised Ralph to feed your family! Emma Lee I'm sorry you lost your game. 💖💘❤💝💖💘❤💝watching your videos, thank you and have a great evening!!!
I'm a townie but understand that the whole reason you've had Ralphie is for food.. I still have to admit I'm gonna miss him because he surely is a character..he has grown to a good size for you too..his head to heads with pepper are legendary so I don't think she'll miss him one little bit.. bye Ralph..it sure has been entertaining
Maybe do a .Ralph tee shirt in memoriam ..hope the grass grows for you
.that chicken was at your seed pretty quick though..are you going to water it in a bit ? See ya'll next time..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏👍👏🐂🐾🐕🐈🇺🇸
I’ve just done 6 steers, one lamb and two pigs all in the freezer. That’s what they are for not for pets. But they can still be loved and appreciated. For their contribution. 😊
Daniel it's your farm and you raised a beef cow for a reason . You do what is best for you and your family because that's what really matters. Price of food is not going down . If I had my own property I would be raising a lot of my food . I do a lot of gardening and I also do a lot of starter plants for family and friends to help them out so they can get their gardens started. Love all your's and your families videos. I just started watching your son's videos
Very nice seeding implement.
Cool. Happy Weston is with his family and growing with God. Bless you all.❤
Should put some oats in the seeder also. Will germinate a little quicker than the other stuff and help protect the other stuff while it gets reestablished. Oats was a good cover when planting hay field's and pastures years ago. The animals can eat as well while it's growing.
That is part of living on the farm, Daniel has told us for many years that is why they have beef cattle to take them to freezer camp. It's part of growing food for the family, So there I'll stop ranting. I lived on a pig farm where we grew them for packing plants so consumers could have food, That is what farmers do. Glad you are seeding grass seed for the pasture,
Yummmmm! Fresh beef. Best part of raising cattle.
That Woods seeder is definitely a step up from what I remember you using last year! Last year the spreader kept falling over because of the bumpiness. Lol. We've always known Ralph was destined for freezer camp. Yes, I'll miss him because he's been around for a while, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Good job on getting the animals separated. The pasture should look nice after you seed it. Great job, Daniel.
Am I invited to the bar-b-q? A t-bone sounds really good right now. I wondered how long it would take for some of your birds to go after those new seeds. God Bless y'all. John V. Marion Springs, Mi.
Sorry I've missed some of your videos the last couple of months. I've been very sick since the middle febu. I really love watching ya"ll when I can. I've been watching for years. Always been a huge fan.
My family has always raised cattle for food. We have hunted fished for food and raised a garden.
Hes had a GREAT life. I eat mest and only from a local ranch. Never easy and it should not be but it's what we homestead folks do. A he's been lover and spoiled and cared for exceptionally well. .
Every animal is different. While Ralph may have been the most entertaining, I always though Whopper what the most handsome of them all. Still, they were bred for a purpose and Ralph is about to fulfill his purpose. Well done. Carry on.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Hope the grass starts growing, you get rain to get it started.
Good Lord!!! It's like Herding Cats!!!! LOL
Thank you Woods and Tym tractors for allowing Arms family to show us your products Tym send him a canopy for that tractor so he can use it in sun or rainy weather
Looking forward to seeing how the pasture turns out after the rain comes and starts things growing. A lot of people don't understand farm life if they have not experienced it first hand. Yes Ralph is a cool dude but he's always had one purpose and that is to fill your freezer.
I like the more aggressive planting cause when it rains it will hold more moisture to help the grass
The Bella shirt arrived today. It is beautiful.
You did an excellent job of explaining the machines to me and I have never even been on a tractor. You made a city girl understand. Thank you
I am all caught up on your videos finally and that you show! I also watch your wifes channel ❤
Hi.... Daniel nice to see you love watching your videos homestead nice tractor 🚜, thank you for showing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐩🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐠🐟🎣 🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
I just received my Bella T shirt. Love love love it.❤❤❤❤❤
You have made no secret of Ralph's role and future. I have raised my own beef and pork in the past, but now I buy a half from a local farmer, who raises beef on pasture and a little grain towards the last month. Just easier for me now that I am older. That seeder does a good job and hopefully will help get your pastures back in shape.
I grew up on a farm and my dad raised steers, they were primarily for peoples freezers, that's where meat comes from. Surprise?
Good luck seeding your pastures. Understand about Fred going to freezer camp. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
Love to see you guys again
