I remember that smell, oh, so well! I rarely get to smell black walnut anymore, but, when I do, I am instantly taken back to my childhood. Thank you SO much for sharing that blurb.
Same same for me with the black walnut memories! Juggling, improve grenades, targets for plinking, chucking them back at the tree trunk and seeing who can hit the spot first… so many afternoons of black walnut memories!
Here in SE Virginia, we planted 5 chestnut trees (2008) and harvest has been outstanding. We have friends who live in Williamsburg VA and drive here tomorrow for the nuts. Also 3 trees (2012) are full with sharp burrs and ready to drop. Koreans love the so much. I planted 30 last spring and already at 1-4 feet high. Planted 50 in pots and buried in garden. Next spring we plant them out back. Chestnuts can be ground into flour for dumplings, cookies, bread, noodles, and many home ideas. I like your video Pete as the cows and bulls entertain Pete. Us also. Great video for a Friday.
Pete, I harvested 2500 black walnuts a few years back, quite a job and I cracked them all over the winter. Love them. The stain even leaked through my double gloves. The more you wash them, the better they are.
I love to listen to the cattle eating fresh grass. There is just something about that sound. Sure wish I could be back on the farm. Thanks for the great videos Pete.
You took the husk off the walnut and I could smell it. Something I also have fond memories of is the Butternut (sometimes called a blond walnut tree). My mom would make a spice cake with white frosting topped with butternuts. I miss that.
Oh what memories your intro gave me. When I was young my dad brought home a big barrel of black walnuts that a customer gave him. When Mom wanted to back with them my sister and I would sit on the garage floor, each with a hammer, and break them open to pick out the meat. I think we ate more than we ever took to mom. To this day they are my favorite and the smell is heavenly. I’m glad The Boys are getting past their differences and the herd does seem to be quite content. Thanks Pete for always giving us great content. ❤️
The smell of Black Walnut and Butternut trees take me back to cutting wood with my dad and brothers on the farm. The smell of walnut wood and the taste of butternuts out of the shell...thanks for the video!
When I was a little kid, grandpa and grandma would do the same with walnuts. They had a hug tree. Don't remember if it was Black walnut or not. Ordin might have asked Titus if he could just have one cow to mate. Titus said get out of here, so away he went, broken hearted again. When those bulls call they remind me of an Elk call. Thanks for sharing Iowa is watching :)
I just started foraging for black walnuts this year after not really knowing much about them. I really enjoy simply roasting them or making candied black walnuts.
Aaahh! Black walnut ice cream… black walnut maple ice cream. When I was a young boy, we lived in the Midwest and in the fall, the stores stocked either or both of these two flavors. I fell in love with both of them. Living in the. Northwest, we only rarely run across ice cream of either flavor We had a black walnut on our lot, so I gathered every nut I could find shelled and washed them and dried them for cracking….all by hand. It took week tii oh get the black stains off my hands and several washings to get my favorite jeans clean. But black walnut oatmeal or a product then known as Roman meal was so so good, I just didn’t mind the work. There was no profit to be had, because anyone that wanted black walnuts already had trees in their yard.
In some areas of the U.S. the shells are ground into fairly small pieces and are used to sand blast items. Not as destructive to the item blasted as sand can be..
i love your videos they bring back so many memories of growing up in the country around several small farms. and yes Dad had us collect walnuts and we would spend hours breaking them open and removing the meat. Just like you described.
Walnut is one of my favorite tree and wood. Grew up with them as well. My mom had us kids pickup the ones around the house. We put em in 55 gallon barrel and dad would dump em in the woods, cause we didn't harvest em for food. The DNR even got some of em I remember. But wild tree nuts, fruits, and wild berries are a good resource for homesteaders and have great flavor.
It was interesting about the walnut trees. I live in the Pacific NW. Oregon is known for the black walnut industry. There are self pick walnut farms. We had friends that every year would go down and bring back 50 lb. Burlap bags filled with walnuts for holiday baking and candy making. The shell is ground up to use as a polishing agent in polishing machines. The wood is good for furniture, and the oil makes a good stain. I recently discovered but oils used in cooking is very healthy for diabetics. Orten needs a little buddy to hang with him in those sad times. Chickens are good for that if you keep them together when the chick 🐥 is still a baby.
We always ran over the walnuts to get rid of the outer shell too. I love black walnuts, they have a earthy taste and taste so good in any baked goods. Love seeing the cows and how they mingle in with you.
No doubt it's a good day. We used a hand crank corn sheller to crack the shells. Had a friend ask if walnuts were edible ? I replied As long as you don't see dead squirrels.
I have so many of those trees in my backyard. Easiest way to get the skin off is sticking them in a 5 gallon bucket make a hole in the lid for a pressure washer and let it go for a few minutes. You will be pleasantly surprised how quick you can get through husk.
Our neighbor had a Black Walnut tree when we first moved here in 1973. Now we have about 15 Black Walnut trees in our back acre thanks to the squirrels! 😊🌳
Our big theme this year is "Where does your food come from?" Even walnuts! The $1.00/hr classifies it for sure, but if you couldn't get them at the store then what kinda price do you put on that or anything else you eat? Thanks, Pete! Love seeing that weather, our rain gauge has 5 inches in it in the last 2 days.
Here in Central CA there are thousands of acres of walnut trees but they are all grafted - black walnut root and lower trunk to an English walnut upper. The English upper will grow so much crop that the standard English root system can not support the weight - I guess the black root system is larger or wider spread. I enjoy your channel very much - keep up the good work.
BLACK WALNUTS!! One of the most delicious and labor intensive foods in nature. I remember having a 2X4 on the roof of our tool shed and we would put them up there to ripen and lose the husk. Any peeling, like you just did, resulted in dark stains in your skin that took weeks to dissipate!! We had short pieces of rail road rails (9 to 20 inches) we used for door stops that became pounding table for opening the nuts later in the winter. Ball pein and claw hammers were the striking tool. Even had some fancy nut picks to get the meat out of the tiniest canals in the shell. They were a lot of work, but the flavor was worth it. Sometimes, Mom was able to salvage some to cook with but she seldom wanted me to help shelling them. I ate too much of the meats to be of any help to her.. Thanks for this wonderful trip back to 1955 to 60!! Now I want some walnuts. (those english one just don't make it) Thanks again...
Dry them for your family Pete! So jealous, I wish I had balack and English Walnuts too. Walnuts are very healthy for the brain and tyroid! Have a great weekend! Hugs 🤗🤗
So, yesterday I watched on RUclips some farm in Slovakia that has 600 cows under the roof... Those cows never saw grass, they are just numbers for their owners... Now, look at Pete... He knows the cows by their names. He goes on the field just to check on them, watching them, spend some time with them. Isn't this beautiful?!! I remember my grandpa had one cow. He always kept her chained in the barn. She will see the sun maybe once a year when grandpa will disinfect the barn and put some fresh color on the walls. When my grandmother went to milk the cow, sometimes the cow will hit her with legs or the bucket where the milk was going.. Poor cow, grandmother will beat the muuuu out of her because of that... I was so sorry for her. This is nice and respectable lifestyle that you have Pete. Salute from Croatia 👏👏👏
Black Walnuts--terrible for horses--but so interesting to learn about them here! Regular follower and thumbs upper! I save a lot of your videos in my "farm planning" playlist as we prepare for our farm to be property! I did not realize how great medicinally that they are--Wonderful video! Thank you! Wish we lived closer to you! Peace to you and your family! ]]]]]]]]]]]]
If you had enough of the walnuts you could crush those shells up very fine. Then use those ground up shells to clean tractor parts. Instead of sand blasting you use the fine walnut shells. From what I have heard it does not heat the thin parts like the tractor hood. It is a known way of prepping cars before painting.
We have loads of black walnuts here in GA. There aren't many nuts this year but last year was good. You can use them to make dye but eating them is more trouble than it works. Soak a few in a bucket and dye a couple of t-shirts. I have never had bulls that I could trust like yours. I've had nice ones but they all had a streak that scares me. We don't keep bulls here on our property for a variety of reasons.
I'm excited to see you make a black walnut video! I collect them and process them too, but I don't have your more professional equipment! I agree it's a wonderful food source that people just don't value. You're lucky you have the trees on your property. They are all over the place here in southwest Michigan. Did you know that the trees crop heavily one year, and then produce fewer nuts the next?
Boy they're really quiet today they must enjoy the New Pasture I'm in Kodiak Island Alaska and enjoy watching your videos I have learned a lot well I've been working in big dairy farms 6000 head under roof 16 acres under roof
I'm an herbalist and I tincture the green walnut hulls for medicine. It's anti-parasitic and contains a lot of iodine. We love black walnuts. They have such a strong, distinct flavor that is really great in baked goods, candies, and things like oatmeal. Our neighbor has a couple of established trees and we noticed that we have a couple of starts coming on from them. (Thanks, squirrels?)
Every fall back in the late 50's and 60's I would collect black walnuts and hickory nuts with my Dad and my mom would make all kinds of treats with them one of my favorite memories
Nice to see the boys are playing nice again. After yesterday's video it looked like Orden's pride was pretty bruised. So do you notice any differences between the meat that come from Titus's calves and Orden's calves? One bull's offspring marble better than the others?
My grandmother in Idaho had a black walnut tree in her backyard back in the 1950s. Us kids wore big rubber gloves to peel them then she dried them in wooden boxes on her cellar steps. I was craving that taste a few months ago and found black walnuts on the internet, paid $8 for 2 ounces!!! Totally worth every penny for that wonderful flavor once again! Took me back to grandma's house.
Hello Pete and Hillary. Glad the bulls have settled down. When I was a kid the fighting allways scared me. Do you ever have a problem with Patty hurting other cows since she has horns? Have a great day nice short video still no broken eggs.
I grew up with stained fingers in the fall. Late one evening I filled my wagon with walnuts, when I got out at 7 am the squirrels had stolen every last nut.
Sorry Pete, I couldn't help but think about how much I love the bulls and the girls. Kept thinking,..... divide up the herd and give Orden and Titus their own harem in separate fields.
American Black Walnut is the most beautiful hardwood , if you ever loose a tree you should definitely mill it out . With your background and skill set you would be able to build a nice piece of furniture or two . With the price of lumber now days those trees are another possible source of rainy day funds as well .
Excellent video Pete :) also its Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend in Canada hope all Canada You Tube viewers have a excellent time with families and friends too!
I have a very large black walnut tree as well, the squirrels are so lazy, they wait until I rake them up (so they don't go bang into my JD grass catcher). Then I watch the little mean red squirrel gathering & burying the nuts-the grey squirrel, black squirrel & the brown squirrel come along & steal the red squirrels nuts. The little guy is real busy...The black walnuts are better for you but truly have a different taste..Mine as well is loaded this year (could mean a long hard winter). It is nothing to gather 55 gallon barrel full. Other then breads, fudge & cookies, I am looking for new uses.
I remember that smell, oh, so well! I rarely get to smell black walnut anymore, but, when I do, I am instantly taken back to my childhood. Thank you SO much for sharing that blurb.
Same same for me with the black walnut memories! Juggling, improve grenades, targets for plinking, chucking them back at the tree trunk and seeing who can hit the spot first… so many afternoons of black walnut memories!
Here in SE Virginia, we planted 5 chestnut trees (2008) and harvest has been outstanding. We have friends who live in Williamsburg VA and drive here tomorrow for the nuts.

I will never be disappointed with a hanging out with the cattle video!
Pete, I harvested 2500 black walnuts a few years back, quite a job and I cracked them all over the winter. Love them. The stain even leaked through my double gloves. The more you wash them, the better they are.
I love the way you narrate. Very calming and pleasant.
I really enjoy how you interact with your cattle.
We have two black walnut trees, loaded this year. I am so glad you don't have rings in your bulls nose. You are a good farmer.
I love to listen to the cattle eating fresh grass. There is just something about that sound. Sure wish I could be back on the farm. Thanks for the great videos Pete.
Nice to see "the boy's getting along. Love how you talk to the animals Pete. All should be treated that way.
You took the husk off the walnut and I could smell it. Something I also have fond memories of is the Butternut (sometimes called a blond walnut tree). My mom would make a spice cake with white frosting topped with butternuts. I miss that.

I see what you did there. Clever man. Poor Ordin. Glad they're all happy and healthy. Beautiful herd of cattle. 💯❤️
The smell of Black Walnut and Butternut trees take me back to cutting wood with my dad and brothers on the farm. The smell of walnut wood and the taste of butternuts out of the shell...thanks for the video!

Hey Pete fall look's beautiful there too! Probably my favorite season! Have great day !
Happy to see the two bulls together again. See ya!
Everyone looks so happy. A quiet, beautiful day on the farm! Cheers!
We call the walnuts our “early warning system” as they pop when someone comes up the drive.
I just started foraging for black walnuts this year after not really knowing much about them. I really enjoy simply roasting them or making candied black walnuts.
Yes, lots of work for these. This year, we got a bunch and we made walnut stain with the shells.
Aaahh! Black walnut ice cream… black walnut maple ice cream.

Black walnuts hold incredible medicinal properties.
I am glad the guys are friends again ❤️
Hey Pete! Sure enjoy our visits! Have a great weekend! Love from SC!
The videos you give us are such a variety of knowledge and relaxation! I enjoy that you give such a variety for everyone!
Thanks for the bull update, its super interesting to see them re-establishing their pecking order :)
In some areas of the U.S. the shells are ground into fairly small pieces and are used to sand blast items. Not as destructive to the item blasted as sand can be..
Love your videos. Always calming to see you in your element.
Enjoyed visiting with all the animals!

Good to see Ordin getting back to his regular ol' self again. Enjoy the days of Indian Summer.

Good to see one big happy family
Hello I’m new to your channel and wanted to say how much my wife and I enjoy it. Y’all are doing a great job! Thanks
Thank you!!
Funny you mentioned walnut trees I found one yesterday in an overgrown fence line on some property I bought earlier this year
I'm in the same boat with hickory nuts. Fantastic taste, but so difficult to shell.
No doubt it's a good day.
We used a hand crank corn sheller to crack the shells.
Had a friend ask if walnuts were edible ?
I replied As long as you don't see dead squirrels.
I have so many of those trees in my backyard. Easiest way to get the skin off is sticking them in a 5 gallon bucket make a hole in the lid for a pressure washer and let it go for a few minutes. You will be pleasantly surprised how quick you can get through husk.
O the childhood memories you brought back! Great video!!
I have 8 pecan trees on my acres so great and this year they are huge!
A hand cranked corn sheller is what we used to husk walnuts.
They may be too valuable as antiques to use them now!
Our neighbor had a Black Walnut tree when we first moved here in 1973. Now we have about 15 Black Walnut trees in our back acre thanks to the squirrels! 😊🌳

Love seeing that weather, our rain gauge has 5 inches in it in the last 2 days.
That’s a great theme! $1/hr to me is nowhere near enough. Harvesting and processing nuts is *hard* I would pay myself like $20/hr if not more.

From what I have heard it does not heat the thin parts like the tractor hood.

Sometimes somethings are out of reach. That was the perfect sentence that I needed to hear.

My neighbors has walnuts trees..They're so beautiful..I picked up some of the walnuts..Beautiful, fantastic property and animals 👏🏼 👌🏾 😀 👍🏾
Have a great weekend Mr. Pete!
Pete,tell how you walk around,following the cows,and not step in nothing but the grass,are you really that lucky?
I distinctly remember having hands stained for a few weeks...But I love black walnuts!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀 ❤️ 🎀
Right on brother! Happiness is everything!
Boy they're really quiet today they must enjoy the New Pasture I'm in Kodiak Island Alaska and enjoy watching your videos I have learned a lot well I've been working in big dairy farms 6000 head under roof 16 acres under roof
Pete another great video. Have a great rest of your Friday and weekend.
Ha! I always get a big smile and laugh with the cows!
I love black walnuts!
I've never seen a bull so dejected as Orton was, it seemed like his heart was really broken.
I'm an herbalist and I tincture the green walnut hulls for medicine. It's anti-parasitic and contains a lot of iodine.

When I was a kid, I used to bag black walnuts and sell them to a nut company in 100 lbs bags. They were used to make dye.
You are such a cool guy! Thanks!
Every fall back in the late 50's and 60's I would collect black walnuts and hickory nuts with my Dad and my mom would make all kinds of treats with them one of my favorite memories
I'm quite rotoned myself lol !
That made me laugh! Thank you for your videos !

From big city w only occasional drives in country🙄. Thanks for showing me that cows do actually move!🤯
Thank you for this video, I just love your farm.
My grandmother in Idaho had a black walnut tree in her backyard back in the 1950s. Us kids wore big rubber gloves to peel them then she dried them in wooden boxes on her cellar steps.

Hello Pete and Hillary. Glad the bulls have settled down. When I was a kid the fighting allways scared me. Do you ever have a problem with Patty hurting other cows since she has horns? Have a great day nice short video still no broken eggs.
The walnut husks make a good walnut wood stain, and they do have a machine that the takes the husk off of them back in Missouri that's big business
Hey Pete can you please make a video feeding the walnuts to the pigs please! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I grew up with stained fingers in the fall. Late one evening I filled my wagon with walnuts, when I got out at 7 am the squirrels had stolen every last nut.
my granddad was a woodworker and his favorite wood to work with was black walnut
I so enjoy your videos.
Thanks Pete!
I really love your cattle :) Is Patty the herd boss because of her horns? What a gorgeous herd you have!
I used to buy black walnut ice cream up in MI. I haven't found any down here in KY.
Sorry Pete, I couldn't help but think about how much I love the bulls and the girls. Kept thinking,..... divide up the herd and give Orden and Titus their own harem in separate fields.

Walnut shells are used as a blacting agent. Like sand blasting but uses the walnut shells.
thanks
I heard that you can tap black walnut trees and make syrup, so I’m going to try that this year and see how it turns out.
Excellent video Pete :) also its Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend in Canada hope all Canada You Tube viewers have a excellent time with families and friends too!
I have a very large black walnut tree as well, the squirrels are so lazy, they wait until I rake them up (so they don't go bang into my JD grass catcher).

We did the same with our walnuts yeats ago.
Its a grand life when one is well and connected within their world.
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I moved way up north and miss my walnut trees. We had loads of black and white walnuts.
White walnuts, I have never heard of them.

Black Walnuts are bringing $20.00 per hundred in Stockton Missouri at Hammond Walnut plant, after the green part is removed.
Black walnut ice cream is to die for
