I've been watching you for a while now. My husband doesn't watch the farm videos. My husband loves to watch people redoing old houses. He can in and said...honey you need to watch this man redo his old farm house. I started to laugh and said honey that's Pete. He's the man I watch working on his farm.
Pete, I don't know how you do your chores without carrying tools. I carry a 6-in-1 screwdriver, pliers, flashlight, small screwdriver with a magnet and a pencil. Always a piece of paper on me to make a note. I'd be lost without my tools at my side. I'm a little jealous.
I never get bored watching the repetitive chores! I find it relaxing and therapeutic. And somehow I always learn something. Thanks to all of you making my life a little better everyday.
Thanks for your willingness to do a video today even if the weather wasn't exactly "temperate". I've noticed recently (and esp. in this vid - but I assume the snow and low temp. today played a role) how very quiet and serene it is on your farm. Excluding your narration, the only other sounds today were from the livestock. In other words, no sounds such as the "delights" of the constant rumble of traffic, periodic car alarms, and other types of man-made noise pollution. Coming from the suburbs, this tranquility you and your family have is really poignant - and rare in 21st Century America. It's how most rural people lived before widespread mechanization. You're a lucky guy, Pete.
It definitely looks cold there, but it was very peaceful watching you do chores with the snow coming down, and forking hay to the steers in the latter part of the video. Looking forward to the mechanical videos Pete!! Stay warm!!
Pete, I poppdon’t know that I’ve ever sent this to you but I think you have as nice looking Sows and pigs as I have ever seen. So many cells are real long and tall but they’re not filled out nice and lean like yours are❣️❣️😊Truly, also, is Your Red sow♥️♥️t is such a beautiful sow!!!! Cute pigs come From beautiful Mom’s I really admire how kind you are to your animals and I think that reflects in their temperament around you as well It was nice to see you and Hillary together again on a video and again she’s wearing red and looking really nice. I vote it’s her best color for sure I’m with Hillary when it gets cold do it you have to do and then get a good book and read!! I think it’s more of us retake on the attitude of the important it is to rest during the winter months because you work so hard the other nine months of the year we would be better off.
Those little piglets sure are growing fast,so cute. You sounded pretty good on that banjo. Hope you have a great day, thanks for sharing. I love watching you guys taking care of things around the farm🙋
Excellent video Pete :) also amazing me mom pig & piglets like wood first ever heard of it too and never knew of too! Also on home farm how we keep outside cows water bowl we had pipe in floors inside barn buy plastic PCV pipe on floor pen of steal tap from well and cows body heat warm up to keep from freezing up and flow not bad! When got super cold of - 0'F or cold temperatures had turn electric warm wrap on pipe inside barn plug in get unfozen it on steal well part ! Warmer part was like battery warm but coil spring slingie selve on transformer with 3 prong power cord! Interesting tool it was see only need turn for 1 hour it was low amps per minute and won't kill animal get drink at water bowl buy shock them to!
I have an idea: once your sweet-feed heifers are cut and packed, have your dad over for a side-by-side taste test to compare against the 100% grass fed ones. It would be neat to see an “outside” opinion.
Pete somehow we all enjoy watching you do the chores maybe because we're not doing them at the time I don't know why. I do enjoy little pigs been at it almost 50 years and still never get tired of little pigs. Butcher size hogs on the other hand bring out a new vocabulary lol. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Things are looking good on the farm and slowing down for winter. It's good to slow down and kick back for awhile. You'll be out cutting firewood soon enough.
Another fine vid. I guess its coming up toward one of two "bad days" on the farm, at least for those male piglets. Hopefully Brownie produces a good litter for you. I'm looking forward to the comparison vid on the grain supplemented cows vs the straight grass fed, not only weight, but meat and how they do at the market. The Bearded Butchers did one on how the two types come out from their perspective and I thought it was quite interesting.
Hey guys, watching from very hot Barbados where it's now tourist season and lots of people are coming over to get away from the cold weather. Pete, you looked really cold wish we could send you some sunshine, delicious coconut water and sea with beautiful white beaches. We'll keep watching to see those beautiful baby piglets that are on their way. Excited about that.
I love seeing your animals, its so cool the way u show them , also hiw u explain all yr chores and problem solve. I want to pitch in to help often ,lol
We allways bred our heifers going into the finish group. A bred heifer will build n store fat to make milk with for when she calfs. At 120 day in the finish group the calf she's carrying isn't as big as your fist. Makes for a better piece of beef in the end.
Another great video Pete, well you faired better with this storm than we did!. we got a good 10inches of new snow. fact i just came in from shoveling the porches, the shed, the car, and getting it started to clear off the snow. got the mower started to keep it limber and batt. charged. windy gusty 24F so we share a lot of the same chores. except my live stock went the way of the traveler years ago. Too old to mess with that stuff anymore. so I sit and watch you younger guys have all the fun! Can't wait for those tractor parts to get here and the MD coming into the garage. thanks so much for taking the time. and for sharing. ECF
I enjoy your farm scenes no matter the weather. I lived next to a farm as a child, and helped out whenever they needed me for pin money. I’m curious about what other people and farmers do in the winter ❄️.
I'm 59 yrs old and still love the first snow every year. I've tried some grass-fed beef and have difficulty getting used to the flavor. I think many people are so used to the taste of beef from the grocery store. I live near where there are several feed lots in New Mexico and west Texas.
The first time I had it I thought it had gone bad. The smell was very different and so was the taste. Since I can’t afford it in a regular basis I’ve never gotten used to the taste but hopefully someday I can buy it more.
My local Walmart sells grain fed steaks and grass fed steaks and I've tried them both often. There is no doubt in my mind that the grain fed are the most tender. Twice the marbling. Period. Thank you. Love your vlogs.
Meat taste depends a lot on what your raised with. Some like the grain as I do. Others grass fed. My daughter had some grass feed and did not like it. Those little pigs are sure growing. I'm ready for the MD build again Pete. Thanks for sharing Iowa is watching :)
The old school farmers here in North Central Florida used to finish off the hogs by releasing them in peanut fields grown for that purpose. They said the meat Had a wonderful flavor.
Carol H I don't know how true it is, I heard a story some time ago, that in order to produce Virginia hams the pigs were fed 75% peanuts and 25% corn to get the correct lean to fat, flavor ratio.
The extra cost of sweet feed could be offset by the reduction in labor put fourth and incidental costs of keeping the heifers another year. The taste test will be have to be done by you with your choice of side dishes. Bon Appetit. 🐴🚜
Well put Pete! These issues highlight some of the decisions that farmers make when determining what to cull, and what to keep. Great explanation, thanks for sharing. I hope you and your family had a safe and joyful Thanksgiving! I also hope the same for today, Sunday and the week ahead.
Smoke on the water on the banjo! Red’s babies are GROWING fast!! The little red one holds his tail up or out in such a cute way! UN BEE LEAVE ABLE!! Oh Pete! Lol Love grain fed beef! It’s a matter of individual taste!
Yep, fattening the heifers up asap is the sensible thing to do.... as for how the meat compares, there is another youtuber (a butcher) who compared corn fed beef to hay fed beef. The verdict? He preferred the corn fed beef - better taste (not as gamey) and I believe a bit more tender... and this is a guy who knows his meat....
Pete, we love grass fed and grass finished. But what the heck no harm in trying something new, you may prefer it better. Great video .Piglets look really good. God bless you and your family.
Pete, Happy Thanksgiving to you, Hillary and the kids! Thanks for your wonderful videos - I love your small farm lifestyle and the down-to-earth wisdom that you share with your RUclips family.
It's cold here looks a lot colder there Pete a lot colder there I would ask what that white stuff is but I know we get it usually in April or March good luck I enjoy your shows I believe you and Hillary are great people thank you so much
We love the banjo prelude .LOVE IT
Smoke on the water on a banjo!? Never a shortage of clever irony with your channel! ♡
Blistering version of Smoke on the Water! Made my day.
Your what I call : The Mr. Roger's of the farm! ( So mild mannered)
I've been watching you for a while now. My husband doesn't watch the farm videos. My husband loves to watch people redoing old houses. He can in and said...honey you need to watch this man redo his old farm house. I started to laugh and said honey that's Pete. He's the man I watch working on his farm.
Haha!
Deep Purple on a banjo. That was hilarious Pete! Enjoy your winter of fiddling with equipment. And choresssssssssssssssssssss
I had to come back after several hours to see if anyone else heard "Smoke On The Water". Glad I'm not the only one.
The most legendary thing I've ever seen. Smoke on the water on the banjo intro...
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow. Just a couple of months ago it was hay cutting.... How time flies!!
Pete, I don't know how you do your chores without carrying tools. I carry a 6-in-1 screwdriver, pliers, flashlight, small screwdriver with a magnet and a pencil. Always a piece of paper on me to make a note. I'd be lost without my tools at my side. I'm a little jealous.
I never get bored watching the repetitive chores! I find it relaxing and therapeutic. And somehow I always learn something. Thanks to all of you making my life a little better everyday.
You crack me up! The banjo solo! 😂🤣😂
Deck screws, the greatest invention of the late 20 century. I haven't used a nail in 20 years!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
The little roaches are beautiful with their different color palettes 🎨
I love it when you find them in a pile and startle them. it's hilarious.
Keep on living the farm dream we all enjoy your wise earthly words.
I miss my piggies and can't wait until spring to get more. Thanks for lending yours for a bit.

Can't believe how fast the piglet s are growing !!
Pete, what a great guy. You take care of your animals so well. It’s like they are part of the family. Enjoy the rest of weekend.
I Love that you like to try different ways of doing things!! I Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend!! 😀❤⚘
Pete, you should do a compilation video of the the Dad Jokes you’ve told. 😂❤️ It sure would be fun to watch with my kid.
Piglets are so much fun to watch run and play
Smoke on the water on a banjo genius simply genius.
After watching deliverance I have a hard time listening to my banjo without getting nervous lol
These piglets are adorable.
Smoke on the water on the 5 string, a man of many talents
Unbelievable!! Lol Love it. You are such a good owner of animals. You take such great care of them. ❣️🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼❣️
It definitely looks cold there, but it was very peaceful watching you do chores with the snow coming down, and forking hay to the steers in the latter part of the video. Looking forward to the mechanical videos Pete!! Stay warm!!
You sure bring back a life a lot of memories even your bad jokes remind me of my dad
Thank you for sharing...your "routine" is my entertainment.....thank you👨🌾👍😎
Smoke on the water Deep Purple

I’m with Hillary when it gets cold do it you have to do and then get a good book and read!! I think it’s more of us retake on the attitude of the important it is to rest during the winter months because you work so hard the other nine months of the year we would be better off.
Man, i love this life.
My folks had animals at their country side property, back in the day..
Those little piglets sure are growing fast,so cute.
You sounded pretty good on that banjo. Hope you have a great day, thanks for sharing. I love watching you guys taking care of things around the farm🙋
The piglets are growing so fast. You sure are a great caregiver to your animals. 🐖 🐖 🐄 🐄 🐓 🐓
*HI PETE AND HILLARY AND PIGGLETS* 👋
The rooting instinct is strong - even at three weeks they root in the wood shavings.
Pete, your eyes are a beautiful, piercing blue
A good video always has a “dad joke”
I'm not tired of watching you feed the cows and pigs. These images give me so much peace! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video Pete :) also amazing me mom pig & piglets like wood first ever heard of it too and never knew of too! Also on home farm how we keep outside cows water bowl we had pipe in floors inside barn buy plastic PCV pipe on floor pen of steal tap from well and cows body heat warm up to keep from freezing up and flow not bad!

Interesting tool it was see only need turn for 1 hour it was low amps per minute and won't kill animal get drink at water bowl buy shock them to!
a joke doesn't become a dad joke until its full groan
Feeding the girls the grain will make it easier to load them in the trailer when the time comes.
I have an idea: once your sweet-feed heifers are cut and packed, have your dad over for a side-by-side taste test to compare against the 100% grass fed ones. It would be neat to see an “outside” opinion.
I’m ready to hear the first run, run , run , run for the piglets 😀 I hope you and your family had a great thanksgiving Pete!!!
Pete u r so smart those little guys sure have the colors
Smoke on the water off a banjo just hurts my ears😂😂🤣🤣👍👍Looking forward to the tractor video's.
Loved the opening smoke on the water riff. Haha. That was unbeeleaveable. Video idea for winter - new pig shelter above grade to keep it dry
Pete somehow we all enjoy watching you do the chores maybe because we're not doing them at the time I don't know why. I do enjoy little pigs been at it almost 50 years and still never get tired of little pigs. Butcher size hogs on the other hand bring out a new vocabulary lol. Keep up the good work and God bless you all
Thanks again for sharing. Farm fresh is the best
You're piglets look great !
So uniformed in size
Keep the great work up and please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 👍😀
why did the snowman have a smile---------He herd the snow blower was coming
Hi Pete, I like watching you do chores makes me feel like I'm right there and helps me through my day
Billy Strings, is that you?
Love your channel!
Thanks, Pete.
Pete another good video. Thank you.
I never get tired of your videos Pete. Thank you.

The black mottled piglet is beautiful. All of their different colors are awesome.
Looking forward to the mechanical videos! 👍🏻👍🏻
Kicking those bales in the pig pens looks so satisfying!
Hey guys, watching from very hot Barbados where it's now tourist season and lots of people are coming over to get away from the cold weather. Pete, you looked really cold wish we could send you some sunshine, delicious coconut water and sea with beautiful white beaches. We'll keep watching to see those beautiful baby piglets that are on their way. Excited about that.
Barbados, wow! My family would love to spend a day on the beach there. Maybe someday...
Just want to say Pete Your Grave explaining stuff with my past construction history it would have been interesting to listen to you as an architect
I love seeing your animals, its so cool the way u show them , also hiw u explain all yr chores and problem solve. I want to pitch in to help often ,lol
Like the Pickens, even a few pick, thanks for sharing.
Smoke On the Banjo? Cool. Left handed banjo at that. I like it.
Always good to watch your videos

Mini-bacons are so adorable, I never get tired of them. Give them some belly rubs from me
So cute to watch. Those little piglets.

Thanks Pete for an awesome video! I really enjoyed it!
That Bee joke was intense Pete!
Thank you for honest presentation of small farm life.
Thanks for another very informative video.
I'll agree with you about the sweet feed!
My local Walmart sells grain fed steaks and grass fed steaks and I've tried them both often. There is no doubt in my mind that the grain fed are the most tender. Twice the marbling. Period. Thank you. Love your vlogs.

Grass feed pork is the best in my opinion.
UnBEElievable...OK keep going! Tnx Pete you keep us warm in winter. Take care

Good morning Pete I feed crack corn roasted flakes soybeans to the cattle and I find them to finish out quite nicely .Have good day 🇨🇦

Red’s babies are GROWING fast!!
The little red one holds his tail up or out in such a cute way!
UN BEE LEAVE ABLE!! Oh Pete! Lol
Love grain fed beef! It’s a matter of individual taste!
That was a hilarious opening - thanks for the belly laugh!
Wow, the piggies have grown!
Thanks for the video Pete
I don't always eat lunch while watching a farm video but when I do its a mucking video and not a mechanics video.
