    At the start of the video, when you first walked out to the field and the cows were mooing loudly, I think the cows were voting you off the island.

    I love sitting down and listening to you ramble on about things (even your dad jokes). It reminds me a bit of when I used to listen to Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion. I feel like I’m visiting a friend and love the scenery.
    I’m a 75 year old woman who recently relocated to the Tampa area from rural R.I. and miss my country life. I learn so much from you about farming and life. I even enjoy it when you work on the tractors since I have a son in Maine, who is a golf club superintendent, that needs to keep the old equipment going.
    Anyhow, good job and be well.

    Watching your tractor repair videos has enlightened me so much! As a child, I use to pretend I was fixing tractors and other farm equipment. I can only now imagine the destruction I caused. I would take an old grease gun and insert grease into every hole I found on the tractors. I would unplug and replug everything I could. My grandfather must have been very forgiving because I never heard of tractor damage. I did however get in lots of trouble turning off electric fences and such foolishness.

    key tip for reverse sear; dry the meat with a paper towel before putting it in the pan. Water keeps the crust from forming so with out water a beautiful brown sear can happen.

    Hi Pete, great tip on the roast, it looked delicious! I agree with you, not every farmer feeds the same, I use the rolling out the bale on the fields method. I do like how you use the manure out of the barn to fertilize your fields, looks like it's working great for you. Your cattle really look good, thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!

    Pete your videos are great! Dont worry about the 'naysayers'- they dont understand the fulfillment you get working close to nature on a small farm. Also, as you know you have to be 'a jack of all trades' and be available 24/7 to make a living. I really enjoy your beautiful, nature friendly videos and your beautiful wife is not boring at all. She is a great worker too! I worked on a small farm for the first 20 years of my life. Keep up the good work. John Ireland

    Searing meat anytime creates the Maillard effect. ther reaction of amino acids and sugars. in meat. and that, adds so much flavor to the cut of meat you arecooking, be it roasting, cooking in Dutch oven with liquid etc. I sear everything and you can add what ever seasonings and rubs you like also great video Pete as usual. thanks for all the tips and fun time with the cattle. You'll get to make friends With Rusty yet! God Bless.ECF

    Excellent nutrient management practices. A side effect of the industry converting to round bale hay was we let the bale dictate how we feed. Thus away went the barns and hay feeders and away went the collection of valuable fertilizer.

    I lived in northern Canada and water for my diary cow will most definitely freeze. However, with a floating water heater, an easy way to keep the old bathtub full of water is to simply shovel snow into it. Yes, it is a bit more expensive than putting water into the tub as I am basically paying to unthaw the snow. However, I only have one dairy cow (a miniature jersey) and shoveling snow into the tub is easier than dragging the hose out, filling the tub, draining the hose from one end to the other, rolling it up and putting it in the basement where it is warm. Just my way that works for me. :)
