I’m a vegetarian and that is my choice, but I 100% respect your choices too. If everyone who ate meat followed your practices there would be less meat raised in factory settings and more healthy animals and healthy families! Folk are far too ready to offer opinions based on sentiment and zero facts. Live well and happily and ignore the uniformed commenters. I love your channel Xxxxx
Cattle for meat is fine in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death. It lasts anywhere between several minutes to even an hour. The animal cries piteously & struggles to stand till life ebbs out.. This is cruelty to the extreme. Shun halal meat. Your Religion does not demand you to eat this.
vegan here.. i watch, i learn, but i LOVE how you treat and respect your critter kids, not all vegans are hate mongers. i respect what you do for your family. you choose your lifestyle, like everyone else can do. no love lost from this end.. blessings. and thanks for being true to you. blessings
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown :)
Something to consider, there are enough farms like this one that do not cause massive amounts of suffering to their animals, the animals live a good life and then have one bad moment of one day. Ideally they have their head in a bucket of a tasty snack and don’t see their death coming or feel a thing. Now let’s contrast that with the fate of an animal in a soy field. First the ground is tilled, savaging any ground nesting animal including snakes, bunnies and other rodents, not to mention all the soil microbial life that is lost (not sure if vegans care about that very bottom of the food chain). Then you have to consider the habitat destruction brought about by the monocrop style of agriculture. MAYBE you could feed yourself on a no till vegan farm, but show me the farm where I can buy that truly cruelty free food. Show me even one person eating solely from their vegan farm, I can find you a farm less than an hour from your house that is doing regenerative animal ag. It is that common. Imagine the environmental difference between global production and shipping vs driving down the road, for me the farm I go to is 15 minutes away and they don’t rely on heavy petrochemical input for fueling tractors or fertilizing.. they just move fences and let the animals do their thing. Can’t believe people think that is bad for the environment
At the end of the day, Sally is livestock. There's nothing wrong with liking the cow. But her destiny is to serve as food. The upkeep of a cow is very expensive UNLESS there's a payoff: milk, calves, and meat. Your animals are kept in clean, low stress, "free range" conditions. That is fantastic. If anyone is upset, I suggest they take on factory-farming by large corporations. Their methods include heavy hormone usage, confined spaces, and a list of other horrors. Don't abuse a humble farmer providing for his family. All the best.
Her destiny did not have to end that way. She is truly not food,but a sentient being as are humans. He could have let her go to a sanctuary. We humans are so arrogant towards animals believing that they are put on Earth for our consumption. Did it ever occur to you that 'WE TOO' are 'FOOD' for the reptilian rulers of this planet? Seems fair right?
Sally won't be forgotten...to those of us who don't know about farming, her antics were quite cute....she was entertaining to watch and we'll miss seeing her. Thank you Sally.
"Well, let's talk about Sally ..." my little niece loves watching your channel. This is the first I have seen it as she insisted on me watching. Yes, it is a dilemma facing the harder things in life. No easy answers here but wanted you to know it is a teachable moment about the truths of life with no easy answers but choices to make. I reminded her that she loves her little hamburger sliders so these are the ways in which we clarify those difficult truths. She loves watching your family, the beautiful farm and wonderful postings. Bless you.
A lady from Canada has a RUclips channel (Ourhalfacrehomestead) and she and her husband had the audacity to butcher a goat and harvest the meat and make a video of it. What a firestorm resulted. One woman said she couldn't understand why anyone would kill an animal when they could just go to the grocery store and buy the meat. I wonder if she thought the animals in the store committed suicide, wrapped themselves in cellophane, and then jumped into the meat cooler. I would hazard a guess that she had never stepped foot on a farm because she obviously had no idea what she was talking about. Same thing with those who criticize your decision to get rid of Sally. If an animal has no usefulness, farmers do not normally keep that animal just because it is "cute". I love watching your videos and I totally agreed with what you said. "If what I am doing bothers you, don't watch my channel." PERIOD!
I agree absolutely. I treat my chickens and ducks well, some even have names, but when the day comes the selected ones are quietly caught in the dark before dawn and swiftly dispatched and prepared for cooking or freezing. This is why I raise them - to eat them... Some people raise their hands in horror, saying "Oh - you're so cruel!! How could you?" But these same people will eat a chicken raised in a barn where it sees no sunlight, then harshly thrown about, hung upside down by the legs on a conveyor, plunged headfirst into electrified water where if it's lucky it will be stunned, and then its' throat is slashed. Miserable, deformed, frightened animals do not make healthy eating... I raise my food, I slaughter and prepare my food, and I eat healthily, knowing exactly where my food came from, and that it lived and died in a gentle and respectful way.
First time viewer. I love that the animals only have one bad day. People should visit cattle feed lots. They would then see how great a life your animals have.
Thanks for your lovely videos. I love seeing the countryside and watching the farm way of life. Please don’t let the crazies get to you. They all need to regroup and go back to their safe place. Keep up the good work.
Something I have never understood is why you would watch a program that upsets you? Common sense says don't watch! It's so easy to me, but it seems very hard for some folks to grasp. Stay safe.
I'm so with you on why in the world do people watch videos that they don't agree with, lol lol One would think people would have more things to do with their time then criticize others 😁 I think your videos are great n I love watching them 😊
tracy gildner I really hope people do watch videos with content they do not agree with. That is part of the educational experience in an informed society. But of course respect opinions and choices - we are not here to make choices for others.
They watch the videos because the person uploaded the videos to be watched on a public platform and because, deep down, animal abusers enjoy hurting both animals and other people.
if someone is watching videos they don't agree with- have you ever thought that they might be trying to understand that which they feel is wrong? is ignoring a problematic subject better?
I have missed your videos recently. So glad you are creating them again. For me, you produce the very best content of any homestead channels. Magically, Simeon, your videos project your love and deep regard for the true meaning of mankind’s relationship with the Earth and our creator. Blessings to you and your family.
Love the look of the farm as winter is fading and spring is finally upon you. So sad to see the demise of an animal but Sally has been a long-standing problem. You need to have a leader of the herd that you can work with. Farm work is never done but looking back on the accomplishments makes it worse it. Hopefully your arm is getting better. Using the two cows for food is part of homesteading whether you eat the meat or sell it, it's what's best for your family.
My husband grew up on a sheep property- I often visited my grandparents dairy farm loved every minute of it.. support to farmers is greatly needed.. very hard work from dawn to dusk - love your videos
I am homesteading in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Your videos help me plan my farm and life in the forest. I watch because I love and admire what you do.
I totally agree with you, it's nothing wrong with managing your farm the best it suits you. Beef, steak tastes VERY good, one of the healthiest meat too! Yummy!😀 Good for you and your people, Simon! 👍👍
You have a gorgeous family brother. I love watching you guys, such honest hard working loving people, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the farm with us.
your adventure with Sally should have shown realistic small farmers just how disruptive a nervous, spooky animal can be. You are doing a great job. Your honest and realistic. Thank you for this Vlog.
Thank you ... actually your cattle are doing a beautiful service for the people who benefit from their lives, and you are doing a beautiful service by supporting them in this. And it's obvious you love and care for them all their lives. Best wishes, A.
Remember What I said along time back about the fixing the cable on the snow plow. Now I think mask with would be a good idea especially those young lungs .who knows what's going in that soil . You have made the best choice on Sally people just don't understand and never will because they don't live with the problem every day like you, just feel good and unknowing about life on the FARM. Happy Trails
Such a beautiful compassionate farmer family. As an animals advocate l live how your farm is, its so nice to see the animals roaming free and happy. Positive thoughts and prayers for Sally XX ~Karen🌹
What more can you ask for when a man wants to look after his family. It's obvious you look after your animals very well - no cruelty imposed on them at all. Isn't it better to grow your own for the meat than expose your family to 'who-knows-what-kinda-meat-and-what's-in-it'. You're definitely on the right path - thanks for another great video.
They are food! They are lovely, loving, they give us warm furs and then one day the point comes when they fulfill that purpose. Chickens are for meat and eggs, etc. thanks for showing this part of farm life. We live on a farm that went dormant after the 1950’s and are bringing it back to life. Our first bull, Howard, gave us our first lesson in feeding, grazing, area needed, clean up after season. Hard work but we are enjoying the fruit of our labor. Thank you for the encouragement and instruction
Just ignore them. They have been trying to change me for awhile. My way of life has served me well for over 70 years they will never change me. Mostly cause I tell people God Bless
Cattle for meat is fine esp in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death. It lasts anywhere between several minutes to even an hour. The animal cries piteously & struggles to stand till life ebbs out..This is cruelty to the extreme. Shun halal meat. Your Religion does not demand you to eat this.
Sally.....cows with an attitude!!! Best to you, you’re doing what you must do to grow your homestead with as few problems as possible....cows not withstanding. xo to you and yours.
You are 100% correct Simeon, you are doing it right. Ignore these people, they have no idea. Love your channel, keep up the good work. Cheers from Tokyo Japan
I think people get confused when you name an animal, and automatically assume it is a pet. When we name cows we typically name them after their purpose. For example last year we had Chuck. Which was short for Chuck Beef. (She is in our freezer now) This year we have Frank. (Which is a short name for hotdog. Although we will not be turning him into hotdogs...) Primarily we use cattle to keep the pasture eaten down so that we don't have to burn diesel and bush hog it several times a year. But they are also food.
What a wonderful job you are doing with your filming! That drone footage is AWESOME! Love seeing your farm from that prospective. You have given Sally (and all your livestock) an excellent life respecting them right to the end. Keep up the good work Simeon!
Liked your commentary about the concept of farming where you do right by the animals, the environment, and other people who benefit from your hard labor. Very well stated. I appreciate watching your channel, seeing your farm and your family.
Simeon, you run your farm with alot of hard work and excellent care for all your animals. I have been with you quite some time now, so I know this is true. Ignore the people saying 'don't eat animals', It's not for them to tell other people how to live their lives. God bless you , family and your farm .
Thank you Simeon. You're videos are amazing - inspirational, educational and beautiful. If everyone ate food produced on a farm such as yours we would all be healthier and happier!
I believe that what you were showing is extremely admirable and important. If most of the world still followed this kind of farming we wouldn’t have half of the problems we do have with industrial farming. It really makes me dream of having my own animals someday.
I love your farm. I’m proud to see you raising the little one to see hard work and the payoff it brings. Thank you for being a leader and example. ❤️❤️❤️
Well said. Always stick up for your beliefs that's one of the reasons I like watching you and your family so much. You are all so practical and knowledgeable. Good luck with the season and love your strength.
Love seeing your videos again of the farm. Bye to Sally, but congrats to the people that will benefit from her. I love a good hamburger or steak. I don't make fun of people who don't eat meat because I feel to each his own desires. However it is interesting to see how "they" try to push their ideals onto others. Glad you are back. Greetings from Michigan USA.💜🌎💜
Sharon Demond , Yes , " they " are most often known as liberals. But , as you can plainly see , there is nothing liberal about them. They are instead very controlling and want nothing more than to control all others. In that context , Lenin was a "liberal " , as were Hitler and Stalin . A couple of more "liberals " were Mao and Castro. In more recent history , Hillary Clinton wanted to be a controlling "liberal " also. For myself , I am a conservative. I believe in living in a manner that satisfies me. While others live in a manner that satisfies them. It can also be called , live and let live . In the U.S. I am known as a Republican. I have no idea of why so many in the general public want to have liberal tyrants in control of them ! As a Republican , I prefer to live in freedom.
I live on a ranch in Wyoming. Just found your you tube channel recently. Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming!! We have problem cattle occasionally also and take them to market. Don't let the haters get you down. A friend told us we need to keep one "compassion" animal. So we have a horse that was given to us. It is really hard work ranching and trying to make a living for a family. There are no such things as the weekend. It is a 24/7 operation. You must love what you do and do it to the best of your ability in order to succeed. Their are many hard and difficult choices that are real life. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the video. Sally had an excellent life on your farm. You treat her and all your animals with kindness and respect. Fanatics and extremists of any persuasion are dangerous and should be avoided, whether they are vegans, vegetarians, PETA, fundamentalists, or what have you. Most of it feels like a form of insanity to me. I'm not saying all vegans and vegetarians are fanatics, but many are hateful people. They are intolerant of others' rights\opinions and proselytize like nobody's business; I am so bone-weary of it.
@Rahul Khanduri Sounds like something a vegan would do slaughter humans.. And you people say us meat eaters are bad smh. Almost every vegan Is violent and hateful to meat eaters. Go waste your life stopping more trucks and leave the rest of us alone.
@Rahul Khanduri By what I've seen butcher shops are more humane than slaughterhouses they put the pig unconscious before killing it. Even in slaughterhouses this is supposed to be done but sometimes fails on cows I hear I guess cause they are larger. But not all slaughterhouses obey the rules.
@Rahul Khanduri it's what these animals are raised for they give them months of a good life and then eat them allot of money goes into these animals. Just keeping the animals would hurt both the meat industry and farmers financially. Since they invest so much in these products. I've seen some very humane butchers and some non humane ones but if the butcher loves the animals they will make sure it's as painless and humane as can be.
I totally agree with your comments. I keep cows and goats, a few types of poultry and waterfowl. I have a Holstein heifer that's a free martin so she will have that bad day in a month. My excess goat boys are put in the freezer and any steers. I butcher myself at home so I know how they are treated. I have learned to ignore the people that want to insult my lifestyle. At the end of the day I know I fed my family well, and others opinions have no impact on us.
Just started watching your videos and l enjoy them. You are showing a way of life many don't understand or not like,so be it. There will be many who feel that way and many more who don't. I grew up on a farm and many many things you have shown we had to do/live in our lives. Some things l didn't like but we did it anyways and it didn't kill us. Raise your family,your farm the way you want and are doing so well. Continue with your videos and many good blessings your way.
I'm a veggi and love watching your channel, I also dislike people that try to force their views on others, so keep up the good work. I'd also never by a Apple Product :-)
just found your channel tonight. Beautiful farm and as a meat eater myself, Thank you so much for sharing this. You are bringing RESPECT back into farming. This is the way it was meant to be.
Great video, Simeon. Love how you prepare this video coverage with some aero filming as well as your camera person on the ground. Keep up the great work.
I’m a vegetarian, I love your videos and I am grateful that you share so much of your lifestyle with us. The care you take for your animals gives them a good life, in stark contrast to the life of suffering provided by the modern meat industry. Our society is so out of touch with where our food actually comes from. Thank you for showing so many of us that it doesn’t have to be that way. I found your channel for the chainsaw videos, my parents recently bought a 25 acre wooded lot that needs some work to return it to a healthy forest, but I have learned so much more about a way of life from you. Thank you and keep it up!
You are such a reasonable man, Simeon. It's a real joy to watch how you handle things. ~ Also, the drone footage is absolutely beautiful. I find myself leaning a little at times as I watch, "dodging" trees, lol, but you have an excellent pilot (is that your brother... your wife?) so I really have no reason to worry.
Don't let the naysayers bother you. You run a working farm, not a petting zoo. Keep up the good work. Love seeing how your farm works in Sweden and love how you involve the children. Brenda in N Texas, USA
Amen to that! I totally agree with you... if I don't like what a channel is saying in a regular basis... I don't watch them... but I love your channel! You inspire me... keep up the good work!
butchering cows is one little aspect of this channel... why is it so bad to recieve opinions witch are different? Simion should be more hardened, i think.
opinions WHICH (not witch) are different are fine.. I believe that some people like to impose their beliefs on others - it appears to me that Simeon is speaking about people who want him to NOT butcher his animals... and he explains very clearly that his purpose for his homestead to raise animals for butchering and eating.... so for those who insist that everyone give up meat because they want all animals to live forever is arrogant at best... if they want to give up meat, then fine for them - I say go for it! For those of us who like meat, we should be able to eat it if we want. I think for you to tell Simeon to be more hardened is to ask him to change who he is... I'm pretty sure that is not the problem... I will continue to support him and his family because they work hard - display good values, and virtuous qualities - and I hope to see them succeed. Those people who don't like Simeon's life style do not have to watch his channel... easy solution for everyone - hopefully we can all find some happiness in that!
Christine J Jones you are right! I support him for same reasons. Furthermore i wish him more placidness to handle those comments. In this sence i like him to "change" into a even better person. Maybe i should stop doing so. There you are, you have changed me ;)
I love your channel, love your farm, and love your beautiful family! I grew up on a large southern plantation in SW Georgia, USA. My Dad was a hired hand, or cowboy. I was so lucky, blessed to have such a beautiful childhood! We use to be so happy when a cow broke her leg so our freezer would be full of beef! On a farm everything, every creature has to pull its weight and be a contributor, you are, in my humble opinion, doing the right thing! Stick with it and continue to do what you love! God Bless!
I adore your channel, your family and your lifestyle. There will always be 'trolls' who make rude, useless comments, please don't let them get to you. I agree you give your animals the best possible lives you can, a whole lot better life than cattle get that are processed and who's meat is sold in our grocery stores. As for 'non' meat eaters I always want to ask them have they eaten jello, or marshmellows or gummy bear candies lately... and suggest they look up what 'gelatin' actually is. lol please keep up your wonderful life and thank you for allowing us to tag along.
Welcome back Simeon, so glad to see you! 🤗 How did you finally find a fix.(Even though it may be temporary)'. I missed your "show and tell"mall over the farm. You're a great teacher. 👏🏻👏🏻🐰🐮🐔🐗🐂🐖🐓🐓🐓🎍🌱🌾🍓🍅🍋🌽
Honestly we are not sure what happened (prayer) and the computer is working right now. Have had it break down and turn black quite often but not so much recently. Seems like we might be able to safe for a new one now. Hope this one will last a few more months at least.
Dear Swedish Homestead, We too have vegan nut jobs in our country (USA). We would also like very much to adopt Sally ( it's spring and our freezer is almost empty) love the show. People should be kinder and forgiving.
We NEED, we MUST HAVE farms like yours in the world!!!! I thank you, & my family thanks you ... we live in a city & cannot farm (& I am a (young) widow with 2 kids) & my family cannot farm, but we need the meat & produce and eggs you produce! You are a farmer & lover of humans and animals alike, & you are wonderful! Thank you, Swedish homestead! And the head lady/wife/mother in charge, YOU ARE AMAZING & keep up the great work!!!! Even tho we may not see u as often as papa, I know u r there and I SEE YOU!!! BECAUSE OF YOU THIS IS A SUCCESS AND YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!! MAMA HOMESTEAD IM A FAN & I support u!!! U rock!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi, I love your attitude, it is so real. I appreciate how well you treat your animals, it is heartwarming. Dont worry about the people who are negative. Its funny how deep in our ancestry we were only meat eaters, if you didnt hunt and catch meat, you went hungry. There was no option for fussy people who just wanted vegetable matter as they used to wander and make camp, hunt and eat. How life has changed.
Love your videos. Love the drama. I think you have the most humane farm on RUclips. Our whole family watches your episode together and love the beautiful farm that you run. Please continue your excellent work!
Keeping It Dutch Vegans are giving vegans a bad name. I'm vegan, for health reasons. I have no problem woth farming, grew up on a farm amd even slaughtered lambs and chickens for dinner or family feast. I get so much back lash when I ask for no meat or food not mixed with animal products. Just because vegans overdo everything. Have actually given up my vegan diet and gotten a lot worse health-wise just not to be attacked by friends, family and the general public. Recently started again. Will just not eat outside of my home.
Andra Karsten .... I thank God that Iam a Vegan for the animals...and through it God brought healing to my body from chronic illnesses...In America vegan food is all over...where do you live?.. I heard even in Europe..all I can tell you... I still hear the pigs screaming when they were slaughtered ...it's a horrible thing to slaughter a pig or any animals...they are sentient....
Bless you! You are right, and I'm backing you 100%. I also agree with your wisdom of if someone disagrees with the content of a video or a channel, leave it alone and don't watch it rather than leaving negative comments.
Amen, I enjoy learning and watch you video's, I love how you care for you animals, and give them good life till its their turn, I respect your choice and I'm a new fan of your channel.
Like your videos very nice country. I guess you will always have people who think there was is the only way. I say break out the grill and cook some good wholesome steaks.
I've missed you guys! Sally lived well on your farm. You guys did everything you needed to do for her and for you and your family. I would have done the same thing.
Good for you exactly why would you raise them if you're not going to get some benefit cost lots of money to house and feed them if you don't get to eat them I raise chickens 4 eggs and a garden to eat
Love your videos. Love your willingness to share your farm and family with us! There will always be negative commentary. Hopefully the positive will greatly out way the negative leaving you and your family feeling encouraged and energized! Ya’ll are loved and appreciated more than you could possibly know! 👍🤠❤️
Passing on my thoughts. You should wear a mask when moving chicken dirt or their waste. I inhaled the dust & one day later I had to go to the ER as I could not breathe. I ended up having to take shots for two years+ for the allergies. At least take care of your son???
Diatomaceous earth, also known as D.E., diatomite, or kieselgur/kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. Used to kill worms and bugs. If inhaled can cause severe breathing problems such as Pneumoconiosis.
That is such an adorable little guy riding the tractor with you! All the animals you film on your farm are obviously well cared for and seem to be happy. You give them an optimal life. All life dies, but not everyone's death will benefit others. Sally and your other livestock will nourish untold numbers of people. If someone disagrees with your video content then they should switch channels.
Enjoy your steak! So glad to get an update and love watching your channel. You show a great respect for every aspect of family farming and I get great info for my little slice of real estate.
Animals are raised to EAT Them. It's what a Farm is about to put them in the Freezer. Each time I see your Woolies I expect to see a Yoke and chains pulling log's out of the timber
Cattle for meat is fine in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death. It lasts anywhere between several minutes to even an hour. The animal cries piteously & struggles to stand till life ebbs out.. This is cruelty to the extreme. Shun halal meat. Your Religion does not demand you to eat this.
What a lovely farm from the sky and the ground. Flat land lots of trees..my dream farm!! I totally agree with home butchering too - you know exactly what you're getting and where it's come from. Takes me back to childhood days on our farm. Liked
I agree with you 100%... Thanks for sharing this update... Glad to see that a lot of the snow has melted. I wish it were the same up here in Northern Ontario, Canada. I know for sure Spring will come some day....
Simeon...just wanted to let you know l enjoy your vlogs. I myself grewup on a farm and l am fully aware of the various trials you go through. You have wonderful family and family values. Thank you for sharing!
Are you going to keep the skins? And what about the skulls and horns? Sally has beautiful horns. Wishing you all the best and hoping she goes without any problems.
I’m a vegetarian and that is my choice, but I 100% respect your choices too. If everyone who ate meat followed your practices there would be less meat raised in factory settings and more healthy animals and healthy families! Folk are far too ready to offer opinions based on sentiment and zero facts. Live well and happily and ignore the uniformed commenters.
I love your channel
Xxxxx
I still feel bad for Sally though. It's hard for animals to live by human rules-- or face the chop.
little white dog that's the truth Sally just wanted to be her own cow she listened to a different drummer
The Last Homely House East of the Sea I also dont eat meat only because I dont know if it was abused but I dont disagree with eating meat at all.
Naomi Beery exactly! Agree 100% 😊
Cattle for meat is fine in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death.

vegan here.. i watch, i learn, but i LOVE how you treat and respect your critter kids, not all vegans are hate mongers. i respect what you do for your family. you choose your lifestyle, like everyone else can do. no love lost from this end.. blessings. and thanks for being true to you. blessings
I doubt love means having your throat slit...
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown :)
@Roman Major definitely, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :D
Something to consider, there are enough farms like this one that do not cause massive amounts of suffering to their animals, the animals live a good life and then have one bad moment of one day. Ideally they have their head in a bucket of a tasty snack and don’t see their death coming or feel a thing.
Now let’s contrast that with the fate of an animal in a soy field. First the ground is tilled, savaging any ground nesting animal including snakes, bunnies and other rodents, not to mention all the soil microbial life that is lost (not sure if vegans care about that very bottom of the food chain). Then you have to consider the habitat destruction brought about by the monocrop style of agriculture.
MAYBE you could feed yourself on a no till vegan farm, but show me the farm where I can buy that truly cruelty free food. Show me even one person eating solely from their vegan farm, I can find you a farm less than an hour from your house that is doing regenerative animal ag. It is that common. Imagine the environmental difference between global production and shipping vs driving down the road, for me the farm I go to is 15 minutes away and they don’t rely on heavy petrochemical input for fueling tractors or fertilizing.. they just move fences and let the animals do their thing. Can’t believe people think that is bad for the environment
At the end of the day, Sally is livestock. There's nothing wrong with liking the cow. But her destiny is to serve as food. The upkeep of a cow is very expensive UNLESS there's a payoff: milk, calves, and meat. Your animals are kept in clean, low stress, "free range" conditions. That is fantastic. If anyone is upset, I suggest they take on factory-farming by large corporations. Their methods include heavy hormone usage, confined spaces, and a list of other horrors. Don't abuse a humble farmer providing for his family. All the best.
Her destiny did not have to end that way. She is truly not food,but a sentient being as are humans. He could have let her go to a sanctuary. We humans are so arrogant towards animals believing that they are put on Earth for our consumption. Did it ever occur to you that 'WE TOO' are 'FOOD' for the reptilian rulers of this planet? Seems fair right?
Yes Fairy! I agree. Cruel pplon here. Kill her "she didn't fit in" WOW. Ludacrious
fairybits thank you ...u r so right...
Vitamin B well said..
Absolutely - couldn't agree more.
Sally won't be forgotten...to those of us who don't know about farming, her antics were quite cute....she was entertaining to watch and we'll miss seeing her. Thank you Sally.
Cheers to Swedish Homestead family. Those aerial shots are lovely.
Wishing you good luck with the computer.
No problem.
You are doing a great job with your farm and providing for your beautiful family!
Thanks for sharing.
Blessings!
"Well, let's talk about Sally ..." my little niece loves watching your channel. This is the first I have seen it as she insisted on me watching. Yes, it is a dilemma facing the harder things in life. No easy answers here but wanted you to know it is a teachable moment about the truths of life with no easy answers but choices to make. I reminded her that she loves her little hamburger sliders so these are the ways in which we clarify those difficult truths. She loves watching your family, the beautiful farm and wonderful postings. Bless you.
A lady from Canada has a RUclips channel (Ourhalfacrehomestead) and she and her husband had the audacity to butcher a goat and harvest the meat and make a video of it. What a firestorm resulted. One woman said she couldn't understand why anyone would kill an animal when they could just go to the grocery store and buy the meat. I wonder if she thought the animals in the store committed suicide, wrapped themselves in cellophane, and then jumped into the meat cooler. I would hazard a guess that she had never stepped foot on a farm because she obviously had no idea what she was talking about. Same thing with those who criticize your decision to get rid of Sally. If an animal has no usefulness, farmers do not normally keep that animal just because it is "cute". I love watching your videos and I totally agreed with what you said. "If what I am doing bothers you, don't watch my channel." PERIOD!
@Maryann Anderson "... committed suicide..." I chuckled a bit at that. :)
I agree absolutely. I treat my chickens and ducks well, some even have names, but when the day comes the selected ones are quietly caught in the dark before dawn and swiftly dispatched and prepared for cooking or freezing. This is why I raise them - to eat them... Some people raise their hands in horror, saying "Oh - you're so cruel!! How could you?" But these same people will eat a chicken raised in a barn where it sees no sunlight, then harshly thrown about, hung upside down by the legs on a conveyor, plunged headfirst into electrified water where if it's lucky it will be stunned, and then its' throat is slashed. Miserable, deformed, frightened animals do not make healthy eating... I raise my food, I slaughter and prepare my food, and I eat healthily, knowing exactly where my food came from, and that it lived and died in a gentle and respectful way.
Rahul Khanduri what
First time viewer. I love that the animals only have one bad day. People should visit cattle feed lots. They would then see how great a life your animals have.
Thanks for your lovely videos. I love seeing the countryside and watching the farm way of life. Please don’t let the crazies get to you. They all need to regroup and go back to their safe place. Keep up the good work.
Something I have never understood is why you would watch a program that upsets you? Common sense says don't watch! It's so easy to me, but it seems very hard for some folks to grasp. Stay safe.
I'm so with you on why in the world do people watch videos that they don't agree with, lol lol One would think people would have more things to do with their time then criticize others 😁 I think your videos are great n I love watching them 😊
tracy gildner I really hope people do watch videos with content they do not agree with. That is part of the educational experience in an informed society. But of course respect opinions and choices - we are not here to make choices for others.
checkyourfacts very nice and important answer! Tank you, i totally agree. I dont like the people living in small bubbles and ignore the rest.
They watch the videos because the person uploaded the videos to be watched on a public platform and because, deep down, animal abusers enjoy hurting both animals and other people.
if someone is watching videos they don't agree with- have you ever thought that they might be trying to understand that which they feel is wrong? is ignoring a problematic subject better?
I have missed your videos recently. So glad you are creating them again. For me, you produce the very best content of any homestead channels. Magically, Simeon, your videos project your love and deep regard for the true meaning of mankind’s relationship with the Earth and our creator. Blessings to you and your family.
Love the look of the farm as winter is fading and spring is finally upon you. So sad to see the demise of an animal but Sally has been a long-standing problem. You need to have a leader of the herd that you can work with. Farm work is never done but looking back on the accomplishments makes it worse it. Hopefully your arm is getting better. Using the two cows for food is part of homesteading whether you eat the meat or sell it, it's what's best for your family.
My husband grew up on a sheep property- I often visited my grandparents dairy farm loved every minute of it.. support to farmers is greatly needed.. very hard work from dawn to dusk - love your videos
I wish people would be more polite! I love how encouraging you are. Best wishes to you.
I am homesteading in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Your videos help me plan my farm and life in the forest. I watch because I love and admire what you do.
I totally agree with you, it's nothing wrong with managing your farm the best it suits you. Beef, steak tastes VERY good, one of the healthiest meat too! Yummy!😀 Good for you and your people, Simon! 👍👍
Highland cow is incredibly tasty , really good beef. Exceptional quality and flavour.
I am so thankful and so blessed by your giving of yourself to help others. Will continue to look for ways to return the blessing.
Your animals have a wonderful life with you, ignore the negative comments keep on doing what your doing😘
Hello from Canada 🍁👋
You have a gorgeous family brother. I love watching you guys, such honest hard working loving people, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing the farm with us.
your adventure with Sally should have shown realistic small farmers just how disruptive a nervous, spooky animal can be. You are doing a great job. Your honest and realistic. Thank you for this Vlog.
Thank you ... actually your cattle are doing a beautiful service for the people who benefit from their lives, and you are doing a beautiful service by supporting them in this. And it's obvious you love and care for them all their lives. Best wishes, A.
Remember What I said along time back about the fixing the cable on the snow plow. Now I think mask with would be a good idea especially those young lungs .who knows what's going in that soil . You have made the best choice on Sally people just don't understand and never will because they don't live with the problem every day like you, just feel good and unknowing about life on the FARM. Happy Trails
Such a beautiful compassionate farmer family. As an animals advocate l live how your farm is, its so nice to see the animals roaming free and happy. Positive thoughts and prayers for Sally XX
~Karen🌹
What more can you ask for when a man wants to look after his family.
It's obvious you look after your animals very well - no cruelty imposed on them at all.
Isn't it better to grow your own for the meat than expose your family to 'who-knows-what-kinda-meat-and-what's-in-it'.
You're definitely on the right path - thanks for another great video.
They are food! They are lovely, loving, they give us warm furs and then one day the point comes when they fulfill that purpose. Chickens are for meat and eggs, etc. thanks for showing this part of farm life. We live on a farm that went dormant after the 1950’s and are bringing it back to life. Our first bull, Howard, gave us our first lesson in feeding, grazing, area needed, clean up after season. Hard work but we are enjoying the fruit of our labor. Thank you for the encouragement and instruction
Just ignore them. They have been trying to change me for awhile. My way of life has served me well for over 70 years they will never change me. Mostly cause I tell people God Bless
Never say 'never' old timer
If anyone agrees with killing, it's God-- and he's going to come back and wipe us all out again if we're not careful.
Cattle for meat is fine esp in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death. It lasts anywhere between several minutes to even an hour. The animal cries piteously & struggles to stand till life ebbs out..This is cruelty to the extreme. Shun halal meat. Your Religion does not demand you to eat this.
Looking wonderful! We can totally understand that what you raise is what you eat or sell to support your homestead! Thanks for sharing!
Sally.....cows with an attitude!!! Best to you, you’re doing what you must do to grow your homestead with as few problems as possible....cows not withstanding. xo to you and yours.
Reality is hard for some people. You all are showing how wonderful a responsible farm can be. Keep up the beautiful videos and wonderful work.
You are 100% correct Simeon, you are doing it right.
Ignore these people, they have no idea.
Love your channel, keep up the good work.
Cheers from Tokyo Japan
Nice way of living. Sustainability! Bless you and your family.
I think people get confused when you name an animal, and automatically assume it is a pet.
When we name cows we typically name them after their purpose. For example last year we had Chuck. Which was short for Chuck Beef. (She is in our freezer now) This year we have Frank. (Which is a short name for hotdog. Although we will not be turning him into hotdogs...) Primarily we use cattle to keep the pasture eaten down so that we don't have to burn diesel and bush hog it several times a year. But they are also food.
David B Chuck the beef cow😅
I thought you were going to write, "Chuck, as is Ground Chuck." Haha!
Love your channel. Supporting your family and other families in a logical way is what most people should do.
"The whole reason why we keep cattle is to eat them." Very well said.
What a wonderful job you are doing with your filming! That drone footage is AWESOME! Love seeing your farm from that prospective. You have given Sally (and all your livestock) an excellent life respecting them right to the end. Keep up the good work Simeon!
Glad you are back. You are doing it right. Don't let the freaks bother you.
Freaks?
Liked your commentary about the concept of farming where you do right by the animals, the environment, and other people who benefit from your hard labor. Very well stated. I appreciate watching your channel, seeing your farm and your family.
Simeon, you run your farm with alot of hard work and excellent care for all your animals. I have been with you quite some time now, so I know this is true. Ignore the people saying 'don't eat animals', It's not for them to tell other people how to live their lives. God bless you , family and your farm .
Thank you Simeon. You're videos are amazing - inspirational, educational and beautiful. If everyone ate food produced on a farm such as yours we would all be healthier and happier!
Well said. I support you, I think your doing a great job there.
I believe that what you were showing is extremely admirable and important. If most of the world still followed this kind of farming we wouldn’t have half of the problems we do have with industrial farming. It really makes me dream of having my own animals someday.
Make a video telling how highland cattle tastes compared to store bought beef.

You are a compassionate farmer, you care for your animals and treat them kindly. So carry on as always, be blessed always.
I love your farm. I’m proud to see you raising the little one to see hard work and the payoff it brings. Thank you for being a leader and example. ❤️❤️❤️
Well said. Always stick up for your beliefs that's one of the reasons I like watching you and your family so much. You are all so practical and knowledgeable. Good luck with the season and love your strength.
Love seeing your videos again of the farm. Bye to Sally, but congrats to the people that will benefit from her. I love a good hamburger or steak.
I don't make fun of people who don't eat meat because I feel to each his own desires. However it is interesting to see how "they" try to push their ideals onto others.
Glad you are back. Greetings from Michigan USA.💜🌎💜
Sharon Demond ,
Yes , " they " are most often known as liberals. But , as you can plainly see ,
there is nothing liberal about them. They are instead very controlling and want nothing more than to control all others. In that context , Lenin was a "liberal " , as were Hitler and Stalin . A couple of more "liberals " were Mao and Castro. In more recent history , Hillary Clinton wanted to be a controlling "liberal " also.
For myself , I am a conservative. I believe in living in a manner that satisfies me. While others live in a manner that satisfies them. It can also be called , live and let live . In the U.S. I am known as a Republican.
I have no idea of why so many in the general public want to have liberal tyrants in control of them ! As a Republican , I prefer to live in freedom.
I live on a ranch in Wyoming. Just found your you tube channel recently. Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming!! We have problem cattle occasionally also and take them to market. Don't let the haters get you down. A friend told us we need to keep one "compassion" animal. So we have a horse that was given to us. It is really hard work ranching and trying to make a living for a family. There are no such things as the weekend. It is a 24/7 operation. You must love what you do and do it to the best of your ability in order to succeed. Their are many hard and difficult choices that are real life. Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks for the video.
Sally had an excellent life on your farm. You treat her and all your animals with kindness and respect.
Fanatics and extremists of any persuasion are dangerous and should be avoided, whether they are vegans, vegetarians, PETA, fundamentalists, or what have you. Most of it feels like a form of insanity to me. I'm not saying all vegans and vegetarians are fanatics, but many are hateful people. They are intolerant of others' rights\opinions and proselytize like nobody's business; I am so bone-weary of it.
@Rahul Khanduri Sounds like something a vegan would do slaughter humans.. And you people say us meat eaters are bad smh. Almost every vegan Is violent and hateful to meat eaters. Go waste your life stopping more trucks and leave the rest of us alone.
@Rahul Khanduri By what I've seen butcher shops are more humane than slaughterhouses they put the pig unconscious before killing it. Even in slaughterhouses this is supposed to be done but sometimes fails on cows I hear I guess cause they are larger. But not all slaughterhouses obey the rules.
@Rahul Khanduri The animals are killed as humane as possible and as tech gets better it'll only become more humane
@Rahul Khanduri it's what these animals are raised for they give them months of a good life and then eat them allot of money goes into these animals. Just keeping the animals would hurt both the meat industry and farmers financially. Since they invest so much in these products. I've seen some very humane butchers and some non humane ones but if the butcher loves the animals they will make sure it's as painless and humane as can be.
Glad to have you back. So appreciate your character and sincerity!
I totally agree with your comments. I keep cows and goats, a few types of poultry and waterfowl. I have a Holstein heifer that's a free martin so she will have that bad day in a month. My excess goat boys are put in the freezer and any steers. I butcher myself at home so I know how they are treated. I have learned to ignore the people that want to insult my lifestyle. At the end of the day I know I fed my family well, and others opinions have no impact on us.
I really liked the drone footage, the sun set over the lake was beautiful. So long Sally. You had a wonderful life on the farm.
A real farm is real. Keep up with the informative videos. Being a 70 plus old farm girl I don’t know how to instagram.
Just started watching your videos and l enjoy them. You are showing a way of life many don't understand or not like,so be it. There will be many who feel that way and many more who don't. I grew up on a farm and many many things you have shown we had to do/live in our lives. Some things l didn't like but we did it anyways and it didn't kill us. Raise your family,your farm the way you want and are doing so well. Continue with your videos and many good blessings your way.
I'm a veggi and love watching your channel, I also dislike people that try to force their views on others, so keep up the good work. I'd also never by a Apple Product :-)
Your farm and your family is lovely. Thank you for giving the animals a nice life.
Just love seeing you with your little boy.
I hoped that you enjoy her meat
just found your channel tonight. Beautiful farm and as a meat eater myself, Thank you so much for sharing this. You are bringing RESPECT back into farming. This is the way it was meant to be.
Great video, Simeon. Love how you prepare this video coverage with some aero filming as well as your camera person on the ground. Keep up the great work.
I’m a vegetarian, I love your videos and I am grateful that you share so much of your lifestyle with us. The care you take for your animals gives them a good life, in stark contrast to the life of suffering provided by the modern meat industry. Our society is so out of touch with where our food actually comes from. Thank you for showing so many of us that it doesn’t have to be that way. I found your channel for the chainsaw videos, my parents recently bought a 25 acre wooded lot that needs some work to return it to a healthy forest, but I have learned so much more about a way of life from you. Thank you and keep it up!
You are such a reasonable man, Simeon. It's a real joy to watch how you handle things. ~ Also, the drone footage is absolutely beautiful. I find myself leaning a little at times as I watch, "dodging" trees, lol, but you have an excellent pilot (is that your brother... your wife?) so I really have no reason to worry.
Don't let the naysayers bother you. You run a working farm, not a petting zoo. Keep up the good work. Love seeing how your farm works in Sweden and love how you involve the children. Brenda in N Texas, USA
Amen to that! I totally agree with you... if I don't like what a channel is saying in a regular basis... I don't watch them... but I love your channel! You inspire me... keep up the good work!
butchering cows is one little aspect of this channel... why is it so bad to recieve opinions witch are different? Simion should be more hardened, i think.
opinions WHICH (not witch) are different are fine.. I believe that some people like to impose their beliefs on others - it appears to me that Simeon is speaking about people who want him to NOT butcher his animals... and he explains very clearly that his purpose for his homestead to raise animals for butchering and eating.... so for those who insist that everyone give up meat because they want all animals to live forever is arrogant at best... if they want to give up meat, then fine for them - I say go for it! For those of us who like meat, we should be able to eat it if we want.
I think for you to tell Simeon to be more hardened is to ask him to change who he is... I'm pretty sure that is not the problem... I will continue to support him and his family because they work hard - display good values, and virtuous qualities - and I hope to see them succeed.
Those people who don't like Simeon's life style do not have to watch his channel... easy solution for everyone - hopefully we can all find some happiness in that!
Christine J Jones
you are right! I support him for same reasons. Furthermore i wish him more placidness to handle those comments. In this sence i like him to "change" into a even better person. Maybe i should stop doing so. There you are, you have changed me ;)
I love your channel, love your farm, and love your beautiful family! I grew up on a large southern plantation in SW Georgia, USA. My Dad was a hired hand, or cowboy. I was so lucky, blessed to have such a beautiful childhood! We use to be so happy when a cow broke her leg so our freezer would be full of beef! On a farm everything, every creature has to pull its weight and be a contributor, you are, in my humble opinion, doing the right thing! Stick with it and continue to do what you love! God Bless!
I agree with you ...
Came across your channel... this is as pure as life gets. Mad respect for your life style.
I adore your channel, your family and your lifestyle. There will always be 'trolls' who make rude, useless comments, please don't let them get to you. I agree you give your animals the best possible lives you can, a whole lot better life than cattle get that are processed and who's meat is sold in our grocery stores. As for 'non' meat eaters I always want to ask them have they eaten jello, or marshmellows or gummy bear candies lately... and suggest they look up what 'gelatin' actually is. lol please keep up your wonderful life and thank you for allowing us to tag along.
Well said! I appreciate the kind way you tell the complainers to go elsewhere and explain how the real world functions. Thanks.
Welcome back Simeon, so glad to see you! 🤗 How did you finally find a fix.(Even though it may be temporary)'. I missed your "show and tell"mall over the farm. You're a great teacher. 👏🏻👏🏻🐰🐮🐔🐗🐂🐖🐓🐓🐓🎍🌱🌾🍓🍅🍋🌽
Honestly we are not sure what happened (prayer) and the computer is working right now. Have had it break down and turn black quite often but not so much recently. Seems like we might be able to safe for a new one now. Hope this one will last a few more months at least.
Swedish Homestead Prayers are with you,
Dear Swedish Homestead, We too have vegan nut jobs in our country (USA). We would also like very much to adopt Sally ( it's spring and our freezer is almost empty) love the show. People should be kinder and forgiving.
Thank you Have a good day.
We NEED, we MUST HAVE farms like yours in the world!!!! I thank you, & my family thanks you ... we live in a city & cannot farm (& I am a (young) widow with 2 kids) & my family cannot farm, but we need the meat & produce and eggs you produce! You are a farmer & lover of humans and animals alike, & you are wonderful! Thank you, Swedish homestead! And the head lady/wife/mother in charge, YOU ARE AMAZING & keep up the great work!!!! Even tho we may not see u as often as papa, I know u r there and I SEE YOU!!! BECAUSE OF YOU THIS IS A SUCCESS AND YOU ARE MY FAVORITE!!!! MAMA HOMESTEAD IM A FAN & I support u!!! U rock!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back +Swedish Homestead! We all missed you. So you guys got a drone?! If so, the opening aerial footage was spectacular!
Yes, we bought a drone some weeks ago. Thank you!
Hi, I love your attitude, it is so real. I appreciate how well you treat your animals, it is heartwarming. Dont worry about the people who are negative. Its funny how deep in our ancestry we were only meat eaters, if you didnt hunt and catch meat, you went hungry. There was no option for fussy people who just wanted vegetable matter as they used to wander and make camp, hunt and eat. How life has changed.
Learning a lot from your videos. Ignore the crazies. There’s always going to be some. Keep on keepin on! 😃
Love your videos. Love the drama. I think you have the most humane farm on RUclips. Our whole family watches your episode together and love the beautiful farm that you run. Please continue your excellent work!
Haha well said. I had the vegans comming around my channel for a long time. They have backed off a bit since I called them out.
Keeping It Dutch Vegans are giving vegans a bad name. I'm vegan, for health reasons. I have no problem woth farming, grew up on a farm amd even slaughtered lambs and chickens for dinner or family feast. I get so much back lash when I ask for no meat or food not mixed with animal products. Just because vegans overdo everything. Have actually given up my vegan diet and gotten a lot worse health-wise just not to be attacked by friends, family and the general public. Recently started again. Will just not eat outside of my home.
Andra Karsten .... I thank God that Iam a Vegan for the animals...and through it God brought healing to my body from chronic illnesses...In America vegan food is all over...where do you live?.. I heard even in Europe..all I can tell you... I still hear the pigs screaming when they were slaughtered ...it's a horrible thing to slaughter a pig or any animals...they are sentient....
Bless you! You are right, and I'm backing you 100%.
I also agree with your wisdom of if someone disagrees with the content of a video or a channel, leave it alone and don't watch it rather than leaving negative comments.
Love what your doing keep it up man!
Amen, I enjoy learning and watch you video's, I love how you care for you animals, and give them good life till its their turn, I respect your choice and I'm a new fan of your channel.
Like your videos very nice country. I guess you will always have people who think there was is the only way. I say break out the grill and cook some good wholesome steaks.
I've missed you guys! Sally lived well on your farm. You guys did everything you needed to do for her and for you and your family. I would have done the same thing.
Good for you exactly why would you raise them if you're not going to get some benefit cost lots of money to house and feed them if you don't get to eat them I raise chickens 4 eggs and a garden to eat
Love your videos. Love your willingness to share your farm and family with us! There will always be negative commentary. Hopefully the positive will greatly out way the negative leaving you and your family feeling encouraged and energized! Ya’ll are loved and appreciated more than you could possibly know! 👍🤠❤️
Passing on my thoughts. You should wear a mask when moving chicken dirt or their waste. I inhaled the dust & one day later I had to go to the ER as I could not breathe. I ended up having to take shots for two years+ for the allergies. At least take care of your son???
I was thinking the same thing and hoping Simeon doesn't use D.E.
mrsgbee What is DE used for and why should it not be used? Thanks
Diatomaceous earth, also known as D.E., diatomite, or kieselgur/kieselguhr, is a naturally occurring, soft, siliceous sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. Used to kill worms and bugs. If inhaled can cause severe breathing problems such as Pneumoconiosis.
Just because you have allergies don't assume that everyone has the same.
It's not the allergies I'm concern 30/40 years from now that you would have COPD.
I really like all these homesteading channels we are also cattle farmers in Ireland and our cattle have a great life they always have and always will
Amen! Just ignore these silly “weird” viewers. Don’t these vegans know that “Animals aren’t people too?!”
That is such an adorable little guy riding the tractor with you! All the animals you film on your farm are obviously well cared for and seem to be happy. You give them an optimal life. All life dies, but not everyone's death will benefit others. Sally and your other livestock will nourish untold numbers of people. If someone disagrees with your video content then they should switch channels.
Agreed 100%
Enjoy your steak! So glad to get an update and love watching your channel. You show a great respect for every aspect of family farming and I get great info for my little slice of real estate.
Animals are raised to EAT Them. It's what a Farm is about to put them in the Freezer.
Each time I see your Woolies I expect to see a Yoke and chains pulling log's out of the timber
Luckily we have people like Jeffrey Dahmer to redress the balance by putting people in the freezer. Nom nom!
Cattle for meat is fine in countries whr not much veg is available & the animal is killed instantly. But Halal meat is not ok. Halal is slowly bleeding the animal to death. It lasts anywhere between several minutes to even an hour. The animal cries piteously & struggles to stand till life ebbs out.. This is cruelty to the extreme. Shun halal meat. Your Religion does not demand you to eat this.

Kind of Sweet to see this guy & his family on their beautiful Farm! Can't wait to see the results of the cross breeding!
Well said! You fully know what you're doing & what you believe in. God bless you & yours! MN USA
Life on the farm. That’s how it goes.
What a lovely farm from the sky and the ground. Flat land lots of trees..my dream farm!! I totally agree with home butchering too - you know exactly what you're getting and where it's come from. Takes me back to childhood days on our farm. Liked
I agree with you 100%... Thanks for sharing this update... Glad to see that a lot of the snow has melted. I wish it were the same up here in Northern Ontario, Canada. I know for sure Spring will come some day....
Simeon...just wanted to let you know l enjoy your vlogs. I myself grewup on a farm and l am fully aware of the various trials you go through. You have wonderful family and family values. Thank you for sharing!
Are you going to keep the skins? And what about the skulls and horns? Sally has beautiful horns. Wishing you all the best and hoping she goes without any problems.
there are animals that are pets and then there is clearly animals that are intended for food, I was raised on a farm. you are doing a great job.
