    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)

    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.

    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, 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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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, 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🤷‍♀️
