I'm enjoying Hillary's added involvement in videos!
I'm glad you take good care of your animals. Your wife is a very good worker. I really enjoy watching videos on your farm. Take care and God bless.
I love the way you two work together ❤
That's an amazing operation. I'd be totally lost trying to do this.... well done you!!!
It’s wonderful to see the old tractors working after restoration so beautifully to watch work them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Pete, I feel the way you and Hillary manage your farm is fine. Doing what you guys did today is sort of like a good work out. Keeps ya healthy. You really get to know your animals intimately knowing which animal is “off” or otherwise. Bigger farmers I think would miss that and that could in some cases prove a very costly ways of farming. At any rate I really enjoy your videos.
Very nice industrial sized pooper scooper!! 😊
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
I can smell the ammonia all the way down here lol
Good job Pete....There's never a dull day on the farm.
Hey Pete - Thanks for having us over again - brings me back great memories of my childhood every time. Ezra stopped by for afternoon tea yesterday and we had a grand time. You and Hilary should join us sometime. All the best to you and your family. Oh, Patty called and well... oh boy, I thought I was a complainer - Yikes
Hi Pete.
I recently started watching your channel and enjoy it very much. I am 85 years old and live on the north shore of Lake Ontario now but I spent my childhood living in a small village north of Toronto. I'm a country girl and proud of it. Our village was surrounded by farms and I had friends who lived on farms so I spent time there too. I also spent a lot of time wandering the countryside in the days when no one cared if you trekked across their land and I seldom saw a No Trespassing sign. So your videos take me back to those days. You have a good life and you work hard and it's obvious that you are happy doing it. I really like the way you name all your cows and call them by name and they seem to talk to you. Thanks so much for sharing what you do.
Graduate of UT in 1983. Like the shirt!!!!
The slopping around in the mud at the end was some nice ASMR.
What makes a gardener so jealous.....seeing the manure pile and being so envious.I need that manure. Bet you never had a comment like this one Pete 😂.
Always a busy day on the farm. Thank you for taking us along on the farm
Orton throwing the mud/dirt! Made my day!
TO EVERYONE, Don’t forget to watch the full ads or at least 30 seconds of longer ads to help support this awesome channel!
Unfortunately, all I got was ads for, ugh... Green tractors. 🤮
Hillary sorting out the last cow... Arms in the air. "YESSS" !!!! TOO FUNNY (All Pete did was run the gate) Now we know the true cattle herder! HA Enjoy your videos. Thanks
Those cows though! They have to be of the most vocal cows I have ever seen hahaha. I just love this farm and its hoomans and moos!
I do have to admire the attention and thought that goes into your breeding program. The shuffling of cattle from pen to pen in the right order reminds me of a game of spider solitaire. Still, it's nice to see someone making do with what is on hand.
Pete enjoyed watching you and Hillary working the cows.I to have a small farm and can never get enough of your videos. Thanks for all yall do.
Pete., you ned to get Hillary more involved she is just absolutely adorable :)
Enjoyed watching the process and thought involved, and patience.
So nice to see the beautiful Hilary
Pete you are so fortunate to have such a helpful partner!
lol - I love your sense of humor. Seems your cows do too!!!
I like it!! I like seeing and learning how REAL farmers do the job. I have seen the ones with herds of hundreds, tractor trailers, four wheelers, portable handling pens, and all the gadgets I could imagine. But THIS is one man, one wife, and the herd!! THIS is REAL!! And thank you for the excellent narrative to show me what the heck is going on here. I can really appreciate your "hands on, feet in the poop" approach to the tasks at hand!! You may even have an advantage that your herd knows YOU personally. I really enjoy every aspect of your operation. And certainly enjoy watching you and Hillary working as a team like you do. You two are amazing!! Blessings to you, and your herd. Heck, blessings to the barn cats too, Thanks for allowing me along on this adventure. I didn't even have to step in anything. (kinda takes some of the fun out of it)
Man I am exhausted just watching you all moving the cows around.
I just started watching so I'm not sure if this is a "thing", but I love when he says "Cmon cows!" Lol.
I like your humor. Your wife is fun! I remember feeling successful after having to direct heifers to their stantions, and they were in the right place. 🐃🐂
After watching Pete and Hilarie rebuild their family Farm Home in 1990, anything he builds or rebuilds is a special treat to watch. IMPRESSIVE!!!! Is what he did to that falling down roached out house. It gives us a GOOD feeling that Pete represents small family farmers in New England. I came from one in Southern Vermont.
And here’s me thinking it was all done with a lasso and a horse. Care and patience appears to work a lot better. 👍👍👍
Moooving cow takes patience for sure! 🐮😊🐄🐄
Hi Pete it was nice to meet you at the farmers market. The hamburger was delicious and the eggs are great. I ordered you book and looking forward to reading it. You and Hilary are doing something right. Great video love the cow's.
In the beginning I was bewildered, but in the end, chaos never seemed so organized. Exactly how I like to do things myself.
Luv it when a “working the cattle “ plan comes together to almost perfection! Titus got to within about 15 yards of improvise the plan QUICKLY! Lol GREAT TEAMWORK! 🙏
The caper was hilarious 😂. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoyed this one very much. I like the way you two work together to move your animals, having an understanding of which way to move to accomplish where you want them. It is nice to listen to you talk to them.
My husband hasn't a clue even with a cat. He always moves the wrong way when we need to capture one to medicate or crate for the vet. Just not his thing. But what can you say, it is only for a cat. But believe me a tame house cat can become spooked too and then it is a problem. Keep up the good work.
Take Care.
I love Hilary… what a lovely person she seems to be.
I love the new perspective of your cattle operation. I have always worked in large engineering organizations. Engineers are moved from project to project (pastures). Senior leads placed on the same project always leads to turf wars. The parallels are many. I will just keep my head down and keep working on my patch of grass.
Rubric’s cube - with cows!
My 11 year old daughter and I love your chanal. Your philosophy on life in general, closely matches mine.
Waiting for a "new just a few" We watch reruns all day long sometimes.
We would love to watch a spin off that stars your better half.
"Advetures of Hillary"
Her side of the story.
I hope you take this seriously I'm sure it would be big a hit.
Sending love and happiness, your biggest fans
Roger and Etta.
Hey Hillary & Pete, love to watch you guys work together
Pete/Hil, it's always a joy watchin' the two of you teamed up and managing all those "kids" like you do.
Great job, Hillary, on separating the cattle.. Take a victory lap!!
Love the 3 way cow fight at the end...
You have some real good analogies in this one, the cows stick together like gum, like it. Cows are certainly creatures of habit and routine. You handled them good, slow and steady, that's the best way. Good plan Pete, I think you and Hilarie did great, cattle are just a hard bunch to handle under any condition and you had some muddy conditions to deal with. Thanks for sharing, I hope you and Hilarie have a great day.
😂 I am totally agree about cattle, you’ve got to let them think it was their idea.
Marty, Doc and Coco decided to hug it out in the end there... thanks for the great video Pete, I appreciate it.
Glad to see the Tennessee shirt - Go Vols
Love seeing the basics. Cows, mud, cows, mud, sort, gate, sort. gate. It's farm reality. Love it!
Hello Pete and Hillary. It looks like you too have planned your capers very well in the barnyard. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🇺🇸
I’m very new here and from Texas in the heart of cattle country. I absolutely love your content, I have actual spent a better part of my morning watching your older videos. The way you and your family go about caring for your farm is amazing and we don’t really see that much any more. It’s all mostly turned to industry with large cattle fields, auction houses, large processing facilities. Hell, I don’t know a single rancher that actually names their cows! It’s all very disconnected and emotionless. You have a good heart and I hope to see more of your content!
I suppose there is a channel somewhere about going to work everyday in the corporate world but I can't imagine who would watch it. Good job of sorting the cattle 👍
I loved this!
I will use this video, and your commentary, the next time someone asks what I'm doing on the weekend and I say "we're moving/separating cows" and they think it's just a simple matter of opening a gate or two. It's a lot of work... even when most of the herd is friendly, like yours (...and sometimes I think that makes it harder).
Pete, i think the only thing that goes according to plan in farming is that nothing goes according to plan.. but we are a strong breed and we push on and make due with what we have. Farm life is the best life. And mrs hill we farm wives are indeed the muscle of the operation we are stronger than people think and sometimes more than we ourselves know especially when up in the wee morning hours helping one of the farm animals with a difficult birth, it's a beautiful thing. Y'all be safe and well, keep doing what your doing and may blessings be upon you ❤👨🌾👩🌾🚜 p.s. sorry about the tractor emoji color, i know reds your thing but its the only color it came in🤷♀️
Man, every time I see you scooping manure I think to myself, “ Jeez that’s a crappy job!” 😎
"The Maginot Line" Good one Pete. No tmany people even have a clue what it was (wasn't).
Oh my goodness musical cows and Bull. Lol. Good video thanks 😊
Hey Pete, just wanted to say I love how you and Evan from county view acres go back and forth giving each other shout outs. I think it’s great to see channel’s support each other with the way things are today it refreshing to see. I enjoy watching both of y’all. 😊
I love your channel y'all are so cute together hello from Tennessee
All this while holding a camera - what an accomplishment!
Another great video! You are a lucky man to have such a good partner...
I would have to say, the Caper was a huge success!
You are having fun, aren’t you, Pete! Putting the all together in the pasture! I love watching you two work together. Hilary, great job separating those 4 legged critters. Pete, I was a little uneasy when you worked with the bull. They are so unpredictable….I worry about you. Please, be careful! I enjoyed this video a LOT,! Bev in Maine. Boy, I have never heard your cattle so noisy…pecking order!!
Fascinating to see the ritual of dominating behavior to create "peace" in the herd again. Good sorting.
This is so fun to watch you both sorting these crazy cows, calf’s & 2bulls. My favorite plus the clown cart.😂✨👍
You and Hilliary certainly earn your money! Just watching you two work the gates had me exhausted!
Your videos are so entertaining as well as educational.
Never understand why some people call farmers dumb. All the work and planning that goes into running a farm requires intelligence, and a lot of common sense!
Enjoyed watching the 3 girls mud wrestling to see who’s top 🐄🐮
Nobody with a whit of sense calls anyone who works a farm dumb. If you hear those words uttered just realize the one speaking is the dumb person.
Glad we could help you get that calf from behind the tractor 😊
Another great video. Thanks for bringing reality to do many who have no idea of what is involved in raising animals for food!
Love the shirt today! Go Big Orange! Tennessee Vols!!!!!
Great job sorting out the cattle, Growing up on a dairy farm I understand how much work goes into moving cows. There's times got to be light on your feet or get hurt.
YOU GUY'S ARE A GOOD TEAM, THE WIFE IS A HARD WORKER. LUCKY YOU
Hillary is a great farm hand. You two are a great team.
Always love your videos Pete. Super to see you repping Tennessee! You are blessed to have Hillary as a partner. Take care and be well.
Just another day of living the good life. 😊😊 I'm chopping corn today but next week we will be bringing the heifers home from summer pasture. It's a 2 mile hike down the township gravel road. Fun, fun.
Great creative video thanks for sharing Pete!
Love it when the herd gets back together
I've been watching your channel daily for weeks. Glad I found it again.
Thank you for all the information. I always enjoy watching the animals. You Two are a good team!
We used to have to discard the hay bales that were on the bottom of the pile that we stored in our barn. It had a dirt floor and open front and back and water would ruin a few bales every year. Then my Dad thought 'i'll just line the floor of the barn with old pallets'. They're free and everywhere and business's were just happy to get rid of them (for free - we shoulda charged in hind sight :))
Pete, everytime I see you and Hill it is inspiring to me. Your team work is awesome. Love all your content and how you break down the methods for your farm hustle. Also, need to send you a Texas t-shirt lol.
Good teamwork guys! Enjoyed the video
Love it , love it. Pete your great. At least Hillary helped you. Great vid. See you next time !!!1❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saludos don Peter y doña Hilary, agradable y motivacionales son sus videos. Enhorabuena felicidades 🙌 desde Tabasco México
Wow!!! Farming is certainly a true task and dedication and love is certainly required, not to mention management.
Good morning Pete and Hillary 😍🍀👍
John MINN, When we had to move heifers, we had to get built up for about a week before the "rodeo" started.
brought back alot of memories!
I remember when I was young and my Dad had milk cows my foot 🦶 would get stepped on. It’s like they knew where it was. That’s good you don’t get your feet stepped on. Thanks for sharing
Fruit basket turnover accomplished again! The guys as always are enthralled with the dialogue/conversation with the animals. I think they've started doing it with the chickens, turkeys and calves we interact with because of you. In the bigger picture, I have people coming up to me and telling me that they didn't know these guys actually talked, whoa! ( I don't know how you would record that kind of progress on an I.E.P.) Yes, yes, yes, your door interactions DO NOT go unnoticed, ha! But today? Hilarie's sudden exit stage left set the discussion off and the guffaws, too.... I think they've come to believe that they're right there and you're talking just to them. That's CONNECTION. It's helping them bloom in ways that I don't think anyone here was expecting from this program... 🙂
Enjoyed your caper and all the yelling 😆
This brings back so many good memories of when me and my family were farming
Pete!!!!
Raising cattle isn't simple!!!!!
You're selling yourself short.
How about saying raising cattle isn't simple...... especially doing it while you have a video camera in one hand, worrying about your tripod getting trampled, making sure your video shot isn't of clouds, weeds or dirt*, and all the while keeping up a running (and informative / entertaining) narrative on what's going on and why!!
I wonder if your viewers actually realize what goes on behind the scenes?
Amazing....absolutely amazing.
Please keep up the "Good Work".
Rich from PA.
* = I was going to say something else but I didn't want to lose the PG rating.
Love your two person cattle sorting system. Glad you kept the bulls from getting to each other. Love your cheerful attitude, just taking your time and letting the cows dictate how fast things happen, less stress on the animal.
Ms. Hilarie is the secret weapon that makes this farm run smooth. Mr. Pete is Doc the cow that you used to play with in the barn when he was a calf?
I was sick for coupl of days and miss urs video..now feeling better nd back to urs video...wow...nice work
wish television was this good y'all blow tv away thanks y'all
Like watching the animals connect with you and your wife😃
Love your videos. Thanks for showing what happens with the cows. Just finished clearing pasture so hoping to have Dexters in 1-2 years.
Your so lucky to have so many tractors to work with. Almost one for every task. Most small farmers only have one or maybe two.
When had my small part time farm up in Maine I used a CK 5 Jeep.
That was my tractor/skidder/errand truck etc.
