Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
The Scottish Highlander looks like a four-legged Chewbaca.
😂
Jason, moving your poles is less expensive than buying new gates!
Instead of adding more fences or buying new gates, use the 12' gate add new post then make a small man gate out of wood .
Another post that makes your opening the size of the gates you have!!!
AL When you harvest meat all the livers from the meat, you can make them little chunks and freeze dry them for the dogs as treats
😂😂 the dad of one of my friends raised registered Black Angus bulls. From birth, he bottle fed them every day, even when they were nursing, until they sold. His bulls were so gentle they sold for a huge amount of money and they loaded easily, just great animals. They would see him and come running to be petted and loved on. Every evening they loaded up 20+ bottles to feed their bulls. It was so sweet and hilarious!!!🤣🤣🤣
Ben, I enjoy hearing your passion for old world scything hay.
Your fence was amazing Jason
I have always called Highland cows “cows with bangs”..I have a neighbor who raises them..they are so cool!. Love you guys!
Jersey cows have bangs too!! I love both of those breeds so much.
Ben's classes for butchering Ostriches! Got to love it!
Homesteading with the Zimmerman blog today talks about how to prevent the moths from laying eggs in your orchard fruit.
Jason. Use the 12 ft gates. Add wood posts and install small man gate in the midding space. Its an option. Saves money.
Those orbit hose timers are on sale on Amazon for 8.99.
Thanks for the tip, we ordered them. Be blessed guys! ❤🌿
RE: freeze dryer...10 qts of bone broth can be freeze dried and powdered and stored in a 1 qt jar. It can definitely be a space-saver.
Freeze the food first and the freeze drier time is much shorter. You can eat strawberries freeze dried and is a great snack .
I buy #10 cans from ThriveLife. Freeze dried strawberries to snack on.
Ben, MIgardener has a great video on how to control this moth that invades stone fruit. It’s titled The biggest pest for those growing peaches, plums and other stone fruit, 5 yr. Ago. Hope this video is helpful. Blessings to you all, always look forward to the podcast.
❤ great podcast uniting 3 blokes who have such fab info ... love it fan from oz
Thanks for listening
The moths lay eggs on the blossom, like coddling moth on apples. Look for an organic spray for blossoming time. The holes are from the worms burrowing out.
Brutus is protecting.. Cows are food to predators and they know it .. always on guard in their cow way .. they are Chill with him .. less to worry about each day ❤ animals connect ❤
When God fences us in with different situations we also test his fence. Then we pray and let him handle our fences. God is in everything 🥰🎼
Ben I watched a video by James Prigioni using Kaolin Clay powder by Surround episode: they doubted it would work dated 4/22/23 I watched a different video he did where he showed how he used it, but I couldn’t find that one. There are plenty of other videos on this product. He said it works with these moths. Good luck!😊
I agree here. This one is really interesting - with natural oils as well.
Several years ago I was approached by a lady with several kids in her car. She said her sister fell on bad times and couldn't take care of her kids so she was taking care of them and needed so help financially until the money for the kids came through. I made a promise to God that I would help people with a $5 donation. I knew they could get a $5 Biggie Bag at Wendy's. I prayed that God would bless it. Well, it was roughly a month later that I ran into the same woman, same car, and same kids. Same story. Needless to say, she didn't get me again. It happens even in Ohio.. Thoroughly enjoying the podcasts. Been with you guys since the 1st one.
Jason, you're the comic relief! Love it!
Ben, I really love your fencing, trenching and greenhouse setup. Your future animals will be an lovely addition to your homestead.
@55:14, it looks like Ben is balancing a flat plate on his head! Lol. Read Cherylvee's comment. She's giving you the Zimmerman's recipe, Ben. Nice going Cheryl!!! God Bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 ❤️
I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!
Hello to the 3 amigos. Working on siding listening to you guys. thanks for the podcast
Loons are Minnesota's state bird!! They are like ducks but they cannot walk on the ground, their legs are too far back, they stay in the water. Yes Al, we freeze dry our eggs too! 👍👍
I was watching Forgotten History when your notification popped up. This podcast has become part of my Friday morning routine
I was watching Al, Gina and Olivia making home made sausage almost four years ago !!
🇦🇺For our mango tree we put mesh draw string bags over the fruit when developing, to stop fruit fly, birds and bats.
Highland cows like to sit in water in the summer in hotter climates.
Ben, right after listening to this podcast I watched a video by "Homesteading with the Zimmermans" she gave a recipe for detracting moths from boring into her fruit. The title of the video was Wormy Fruit, watch it at 21:00.
1 cup AC vinegar
1/3 cup dark molasses
1/2 tsp ammonia
2 cups water.
In old plastic milk jugs cut a small rectangular hole below the shoulder. Hang in tree.
Hope this helps.
cherylvee!!!! That was so awesome of you to put the recipe down for Ben on deterring moths for his stone fruit. He & Meg are soo busy. It's hard to sit & watch a whole video. You are blessed Cherylvee!! God Bless you all and ☦️ many prayers nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister ☦️ 🙏🏻
Homesteading with the Zimmermans posted a video today on "Preventing wormy fruit!" that I think will be very beneficial to all of us with stone fruit trees. But I bet one of your wives might watch it today, too!
Thank you, guys, for another great podcast!
Ostriches are big and mean, Emu's are sweet!!🤣
Don’t buy new gates use the ones you have. Build a small wall like if it’s 16 feet and you have a 12 foot gate build like a little 4 foot wall solid wall and put something on it like a hook to hang a bucket on or something. Just fill that space it will save you a lot of money and you’re still be using your old gates, which makes sense.
Just add a man "door" size gate. You don't always need to open the big gate to do what you need to do.
How about cutting two 12' gates down to 8' ones and have a double gate? IDK, it seems like it would work.
Keep up the good work guys. I watch all your channels. Wishing you and your families the best.
I don’t miss your videos!!
Interesting and funny. Cheers.
Hey Ben follow James Prigioni and he uses kaolin clay aka Surround. Hope that helps.
Good day Jason, Ben and Al, # 45 in the books, seven more and it will be the magic 52, one year !! Another great podcast and so many jobs well done. Ben, I remember hen I was young(a long time ago) the farmers would keep their stone in their back pocket for sharpening their scythe all the time. Jason, good job on the water line, that will make life much easier. Al, you have a lot of work ahead of you, I can see more fencing in your future if you are looking at more beef cattle sometime in the future. Again GREAT JOB guys, till next week, see you !!
Ben, I live near Austin TX, where panhandling is encouraged! The only person I have ever wanted to give money to, but didn't because I was broke at the time was the guy with the sign that said, " Look, She threw me out because I am a drunk. But the fact remains that I need money for Beer and Cigarettes. Please donate!" That told me he was being honest, and made me more sympathetic.
💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Have a blessed week, in The Lord Jesus Christ!!!
All the best for the week. Thanks for your videos. Happy Days! 😁☀️👏🤗🥰🙏🏻
Hey Ben. I watched a video today. Homesteading with the Zimmermans I think it was todays/ friday.... She used to be Mennonite. She told how to make something to help with that. Vinegar, molasses, ammonia and water in a milk jug and hang in the tree. But I don't remember the portions of each.
You could put a stile next to the wider gate. Or a little kissing gate. Hashtag interesting content. 😊
Ben, on your question about the moths for the stone fruit Ruth Ann Zimmerman from Homesteading with The Zimmerman’s just posted a video on how to naturally kills those moths. She has an Amish natural remedy that her mom showed her.
Enjoy watching and/or listening to you guys talking about all of the things you have going on on your properties. Very interesting podcast, Thanks !
Al! We just got 2 Highland cross cows! We gave 2 heifers, i have been brushing them too! So fun! I am 61 and we just started our Homestead in 2020.
I really love your podcasts! I wish You all were around when I was younger (I'm 79). I would have benefitted from your ideas. Keep up the good work.
Fun to listen to you guys...ALWAYS! I love your Highland Coos Al!
Have you watched Chad Doss
Outside to learn more about the Scottish
Highlanders. You’ll learn so much
Thanks Guys.
Ok, Movies from our youth. When I was about 14, we vacationed from our home in Iowa to California. When we were in Los Angeles, and driving past what was Gromans Chinese Theatre it was the opening day for the very first STAR WARS movie! The line was 6 blocks long! OMG!
Ok Jason, l see your wheels turning! Highland. Hum!!❤❤🎉❤ yeah!!
Good morning guys ☕️ happy Friday
Good morning!
Great
LUV u guys great show
South Africa has lots of ostrich farms. The meat is great, very tasty and healthy.
To me, it's too sweet. And a little dry.
James Prigioni deals with the plum curculio by spraying DE (diatomaceous earth) on the fruit immediately.
The loons are migrating back to the lakes for the summer.
Ben, I find it interesting that you think a "small town" has 3 box stores. We live 2 hours from a Wal-Mart and 4 hours from a Lowes and Home Depot. 😊
I bet you have an actual community living in a small town.
Ben the RUclips channel Homesteading with the Zimmermans has a method for the coddling moth you were talking about. They used to be old order Mennonite and it involves ammonia and molasses etc.. Definitely worth looking at! ❤
Good morning from Windsor On 🇨🇦 Al, Ben, & Jason
Morning!
Love the show gentleman 👍🇨🇦
Sarnia here 🇨🇦
Another good POD CAST love listening to you three chit chat and discuss your week and adventures and progress.........keep it up and have a great weekend!
Definitely love scything with a eurpean scythe. It's very therapeutic. I have the shorter ditch blade on mine which is great for weeding around the garden or taking down thicker brush.
Question for Al, what are you going to use for a deer deterrent in Gina's secret garden?
Hey Al, do you think you could put the drone up to show your homestead layout? You and Gina have built and added so much. Just when I thought I knew where the workshop and barn were located, you shot an angle that completely threw me off. Love watching you two work so well together. Caught a glimpse of Olivia with the cows. She was just a little girl when I started watching.She's grown so much..
Without a freeze dryer, whole dried milk - not skim milk - is available at Walmart called NIDO in the Hispanic section because it's in Spanish - large cans for $20. Tastes great in coffee! Stores for months.
Dude Jason…I had the same exact experience with a lady her daughter and grand daughter. I could sense it was a scam so I went on my way after not giving them money. Two days later same people at a restaurant parking lot. Amazing how bold some people are. Sucks for those who actually are in tough situations and need actual help.
This is my favorite podcast each week. I love listening to all your ideas.
Hey Al, you could build a small summer cabin over there by your raised beds. That’ll give you something to do.
I’m ready for another 2 years of building something but he’ll be busy with all the animals lol
Then they make these small net bags that you can put over your stone fruit that will keep out any bugs
the loon sound is amazing!
Wow! What fun....AGAIN!!! It is unspeakably wonderful to anticipate the "drop" of your Homestead Shop Talk Podcast episode each Friday. Great job once again, guys!
Now, I was reared on a registered Jersey farm in Starkville, MS (home of MS State University) and we had really top-notch champion cattle because my dad was a noted expert in dairy cattle and, for many years, was the Extension Dairyman for Mississippi (in the Cooperative Extension Service). To boot, MS State Univ is a land-grant institution, so farming in many fashions is just like the core DNA of most things happening on the campus.
Anyway, all our cattle were like children members of our family. They all grew to know their names, so we could call them from the pasture and they would come. I never even had any thought at all that one of them would be mean--or even rough. We talked to them like they were people. Sound crazy? Well, it worked over and over and over.
That life on the dairy farm gave me a fabulous understanding of the notion of "responsibility." Even as a young boy, I was RESPONSIBLE for feeding, milking, and caring for "my cows." (They were really belonging to the entire family, but I had the responsibility.) All that means more to me now than it did back in my teens, for example.
We showed our Jerseys in all the fairs around...and we made enough money with the prizes to pay our college tuition IN CASH! I'm so glad I had that upbringing, but I'm glad--now that I'm 76 years old--that I no longer have to go milk the cows, especially in harsh weather. We never were rich enough to have milking machines, so we always milked by hand. The "harvest" from hand milking is that my brothers and I had really strong grip! That fact really came in handy during baseball season, because we could knock the cover off a baseball...and much of that came from such a good grip.
Anyway, enough about me. Thanks to y'all for creating and propagating such a wonderful program each week!

@nctplarry ~ How funny! I just posted something similar about Lone Rock Ranch. All of their Longhorns know their names and look up from what they're doing -- usually eating -- when their name is called.
A Kaolin clay spray is good for the stoned fruit, can also use it on apples and pears. 3 cups to a gallon of water sprayed on after petal fall and every 8 or so weeks and after heavy rain.(makes the trees all white and you need extra washing at harvest, but keeps the bugs at bay).
Ben, look into fruit tree bags. Dan
Right you are Ben. Pecan trees come alive, plant put your gardens.
For Ben - fruit tree information on moths. Homesteading with the Zimmerman just put out a video on an organic way to prevent fruit moths that I am going to try. I am much later in the season than they are ( I am in Oklahoma and they are in Iowa) but I am going to try their method. I have tried covering the fruit with small organza bags but that didn’t really help. Insects were still able to damage the fruit through the bag and lots of fruit fell off in the wind. Good luck!
Try Zip lock bags with zip. Thin netting bags for frute trees
Another great podcast. Ben, how about wrapping the whole fruit tree in Tulle? I use it to detour squirrels and I will be using them on my tomatoes as well.
Al, Gold Shaw farm is raising highlander cows in Peacham, Vermont.
Ben watch Zimmerman's podcast, she gave a recipe and instruction for the moth worms you're talking about.
It's 1 cup vinegar ,1/4 cup molasses, 1 tsp. Ammonia ,2 cups water. She took a gallon jug and cut a 2 inch square hole on side near the top. Then take a tough cord and tie through handle of jug and put in limb of each fruit tree. You do it in early spring before it flowers. Go to her channel ,she demonstrates the whole thing.
In German we call it dengeln when you work with a hammer on the scythe
May 3,We just finished our 3dsys of Rain …prayers to those up North Texas that got flooded and Tornadoes in OKLAHOMA 🙏🏽☔️
I watered my garden all night when I finally made the big 8 bucks for a hose timer a few years ago
I love cows too. They’re so cute and chill. Al could make his own coats with those Highland cow hides. 😂😂😂😂
Wish I had land for cows. Them and goats are a vibe. I love horses too but they’re a big commitment. Only thing more commitment and liability than a horse is a dairy cow.
Al could sell Highlander Hats with his coffee, store !
James Prigioni uses Surround WP on his fruit trees. It's a kaolin clay, maybe that might help you? He says it leaves a film on the fruit.
70 yo is the new 40 year olds!! BTW 😊❤
Winter coat and Viking horn hats.
the sound cant be any more difference than when i was onboard a ship it the Navy, you will get use to it :)
Al, if you prefreeze your milk, it will cut the freeze drier operating time down.
Have a look at Doss Farms cattle. Impressive! 🐮 And Cog Hill Farm has two emus and are sitting on eggs waiting to hatch for the first time 😃
Sounds like Ben found his Zen.
I watch every time you come on.❤
thank ya kindly
I love you guys. The podcasts are a Friday treat, like a banana split after a long day. Thanks for the laughs!
Ruth Zimmerman has a video this week on reducing worms in fruit. Homesteading with the Zimmermans is her channel.
There is an Ostrich farm near me. They have 12 ft tall fences! WOW
We have sandhill cranes in Tennessee. They also make an interesting, and I think very pleasant, sound. I have heard that they can live more than 30 years. There is a limited hunting season for them. I understand that it may be a good thing to cull the flock sometimes, but don't personally want to kill one.
I agree home grown beef meat is the best .
Jason, you could get Highland Cattle they are almost mini.
I love watching you guys you work great together keep up
Jason, you could have another gravity fed trench run from the large rainwater tank to a couple hydrants for the animals while they are at the higher area near the back of the fenced area of your property. By the way, your old refurbished gates look good.
Jason, I love the addition of cattle panels to your gates to secure animals from smaller predators or to keep smaller animals in. Plus the red paint, looks sweet!
Tks for video guys. Waiting for next week.
Ben, check out Homesteading with the Zimmermans. Her RUclips video posted today gives a natural repellent for the fruit tree moths. It uses apple cider vinegar, molasses, ammonia and water.
