Never stop showing the reality of farming. People do need to see these things and know where their food comes from.
As you have said before, They really only have 1 bad day compared to the "factory" farms.
Or as compared to animals in the wild that are torn apart by predators, get hit by cars, starve to death, etc. These farm animals have a good life in the sun, for the most part. And we all have at least one bad day when we leave this existence.
The feed lots disgust me the most. When a cow relies on antibiotic shots to stay alive, you know that something is not right. I live somewhat down wind from a couple of feed lots. When the wind blows over them and they are mucking corrals it becomes very obvious what isn't right.
I agree.
Thanks for showing the actual activities of farming in a rural setting. And, for not allowing a minority of critics to impact or cause you to remove integral components of farming from the "majority" of your viewers!
Well said! I applaud your opinion.
As a kid from delaware with 3 antique tractors and cowboy boots I wish this channel had more subscribers it's great
Absolutely so addicting so relaxing and enjoyable
I really appreciate that Pete thank you! We love your channel and have learned a lot from you and Hilary. You showed me it is possible to make a living on small acreage and that has helped me more than you realize! Thanks again!
You and Pete are the 2 cattle farming channels I really follow, so when you did the door thing, and Pete gave you a shout out, it made me smile.
You're welcome Farmer Tyler. I enjoyed watching your channel long before I had my own.
LOVE all your videos, Pete!!! To invest so much time and creativity in your videos is something MANY of us appreciate a LOT!!! And, thanks for not catering to the few, but showing us ALL the aspects of life on the farm, including your gentle way of calmly getting the animals accustomed to your trailer for the trip to the butcher. Blessings to you and your dear family!!! > ;o)
Thanks Elliot!
Agree @N. Elliot - my wife and I are seriously considering moving from the burbs and getting a small farm to live this life. I need to see all of what that life entails. Thanks Pete! @justafewacresfarm
Don't apologize for raising clean organic animals to feed people. There are far to few of you out there! You are very kind to your animals and they have a good life. ❤
@@brez85 Then don't eat them?
Why are veiwing a livestock farm channel?
@@brez85 I think you should buy meat from the store . You clearly have no idea . Or raise your own
Have a good day
@@brez85 are u ok bud? Need someone to talk to? Learn to control your anger in artistic ways, or are you already a little artistic? 🤣
Good job how you load them up you need to work with the game work
90% of people in my country of Canada eat meat, which is pretty much identical to the U.S. numbers. I can guarantee you most those people are extremely disconnected from where there food comes from. Its good that you show people that it takes hard work to get your food from the farm to the table and learn to appreciate it.
I love your videos, its really very inspiring, never feel like you need to hide the reality of how our food gets harvested.
I was raised 'mixed farming' and got great entertainment from city kids on their first few visits to the farm. An aunt almost had kittens when they came out and I was fast asleep on the back of a 1900lb bull that was grazing. We had about 15 head in the core heard that were 'petting zoo tame'.
Pete,keep showing the reality of farming,you are so inspiring…
Never gets old seeing those chickens racing to get out in the morning!
Their chickens , well I guess everyones chickens, act like they are never fed when you let them out.
@@allenferry9632 Not everybody has 300 or so to pile out of a coop makes me chuckle everytime
I agree, the morning rush by the layer hens to get out of the coop is hysterical. I always think someone must be inside the house because it looks like they’re being tossed out. Next favorite is seeing what the piglets are up to in their shrub enclosure- and the way they creep out to see what Pete has for them to eat.
@@Patricia808OGG Yea seeing the brush move and them snorting is funny!
Good morning Pete! As always love the videos, thanks for always providing valuable information on farming and god bless you and all farmers!
I love seeing these little piggies in the bushes...pigs in green fields, that´s how it should always be!:D
I a. A fan of Tyler Farmer Ranch too. In addition to you two, I watch two hard-worker dairy farmers. Eric at 10th Generation Dairy Farm in Pennsylvania, and Adrian at I Farm, You Farm in Ireland. The four of you are my all-times favorites. I love that you all multi generational farms.
Hillary is getting pretty comfortable with the camera. And we get to see why she makes you so happy! Its so nice to spend 20mins on the farm with you two.
"Don't bicker!" lol i love when you gently scold your animals, Pete. I would say Red is the star of the ranch. What a great life on the farm!
The people who don’t want to see the cows go to freezer camp are probably the same ones that think meat is made in styrofoam trays…
Don’t ever hide the unpleasant parts of farming. It shows just how much work it is and how much respect farmers, especially small farmers, deserve.
I'm a seventh generation farmer down in southeastern Louisiana, we have a orange orchard and do a lot of row crop. Always like to see the different kinds of agriculture out there. Really enjoying seeing how different operations are ran, keep up the good work.
I live in new orleans and looking for local farms to support as opposed to grocery. Where are you located?
I watch loads of farming youtubers being a man that grew up in the city but now lives in the country I appreciate my neighbors more. Also I think It should be recommended viewing for kids to see where food comes from and the amount of hard work that is put into it.
Pete, I am a new subscriber to your channel. I enjoy your analytical mind and how you treat your animals with such warmth. I am a retired pastor living near Omaha Nebraska. I was raised on a rather large poultry(egg) farm in Maine and always enjoy all things farming.
Love the way you interact with your animals!
I know they are your bread and butter! You and Hillary provide them with a good life!
Just subscribed to the channels you recommended. 😀 I've spent the last 4 years learning as much as I can about homesteading and farming. We hope to be buying property by the end of the year. Thank you, Pete, for all you do!
Better be quick before Bill gates or the CCP gets it.
@@robinstuyvesant7187
Lol, right?!
I feel your pain of the drought, here in the midwest we've had a little over a half of an inch over 6 weeks, until today. That coupled with over 90 degrees for almost all those days and more than 6 days of 100 to 106 degrees put us in a severe drought condition, but we did get 2" over the last 12 hours. Love your little calves, they are so cute. I already watch Country View Acres, subscribed a few weeks ago, haven't seen Tyler's yet, I'll check his channel out. Once again Pete, thoroughly enjoyed your video, thanks for that, and I hope you and your family have a great day.
Love the vids bro keep it up ❤️👍👨🏼🌾
You have such a great relationship with your animals as a viewer I feel emotional when you take them to the Slaughter house. After all its the life cycle just have to accept it. Im aspiring to be a farmer in a few years and all I can say is thank you for the lessons 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿.
Love seeing the chickens fly out in the morning, loved hearing the little piggies slurping up the milk..and appreciate seeing how you prepare your animals for, shall we say "harvesting", your making sure they're comfortable going into a trailer AND that is absolutely part of farming and it should be included in your videos :)
Hi Pete, im Zach, i'm forteen and trying to start a small town (direct to consumer) poultry bisness in Iowa, and I was wondering if you had any bisness tips and how you maneged to sell your poutry thoughout the starting years of your small farm... also I have been watching your channel for about two to three years now, and i want to thank you for these videos because you have inspired my career, given me alot of useful info about the parts of a farm, how you run it, and even how to fix a tractor! So I am very thankful for you and all you do and hope that you are blessed!
Hi Zach, treating customers right and letting them advertise your business through word-of-mouth is priceless, but it takes time and you have to be patient. I don't know what sort of poultry business you're in, so that's about as specific as I can get.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm Thank you, Im trying to start a Broiler/egg production poultry farm... haha out of all the stuff i said you would have thought i would say what kind of farm haha
@@zacht4602 That's great Zach!! I'll be praying for your business. Everyone needs eggs and chickens these days!!
@@njhdreams2415 thank you!
Best part of the day.... the chicken release and the piggies in the field. Just makes my day. Thanks for sharing.
Love your channel! I really missed you not uploading Sunday and we so happy to see what you had today! Really love your content as always!
I loves how you don't sugar coat things and show the reality of farming.
Love watching those little piggies come sneaking out of the tall grass. They are so very cute.
Hello Pete! Oh no…what a naughty raccoon!! We caught a coon in a trap too! She was killing our ducks! She was old and nasty! We rehomed her. Our vet laughed at us and said we were just giving her exercise as she’ll be back!😳 Always enjoy watching your videos! You are such an inspiration! Our fourteen year old daughter is the voice behind our farm RUclips channel! Blessings to you, Pete! You have such a relaxing, calming way of educating!
Thanks Double G&L! Raccoons can be really nasty. We "rehomed" this one to inside the compost pile.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm LOL! 😂
@@JustaFewAcresFarm 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JustaFewAcresFarm lol that's where I rehome mine too 😂
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I laugh...raccoons are compost here, too! And any other vermin that mess with chickens or garden! Back to the earth.
Excellent video Pete, thanks for sharing the realities with us all!
Hi Peter Hillary and friends ,
Based on a recently viewed video , I was walking through a hardware store yesterday with my brother and wondering aloud about - how much a person pays the butcher to take apart the cow and how many pieces for sale does one get out of that
take -apart?
If anybody knows just curious 🧐! :)
Hi Michael, there are a couple videos in the channel library where I show what cuts and how much beef comes back from the butcher.
Hil looked tired until it started to rain. That gave her a boost!
Glad there’s farmers doing the work of bringing cattle to butcher cause I’m a big meat guy. Don’t think I could do it.
Hey Pete, feed the Coon some Lead from a 22! ....................🤣🤣🤣 The cows know what's coming as steak ! It's been dry here Pete, I hope you get some Rain, look dark over that way.
Thanks for the video as always! And appreciate your "youtube pics" too, going to check them out now :)
Hey Gang, Pete, at our Sportsman Club we have game night dinners, 2-3 times a year, Racoon is very tasty, like Beaver and Muskrat, be a shame if you released your "Catch Of The Day" 😭😢😭
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy 🤗
80% chance of rain! Yeah! 8 hours later... no rain. Happens all the time here. It either goes right above us or below us.
That's us too central PA !!!
Thank you for their sacrifice! Important to show all aspects
I watch Tyler now every day. He's a lot like you. Make do with what you've got and do what you can by yourself. It's how farmers survived for millennia, and a lesson for all of us.
Pigs in the bushes! That was adorable
❤❤💯👍keep showing the reality of farming, live the natural smile you have
Thank you Pete, for all these wonderful videos. i have watched many of them multiple times. I also live in Central NY hoping to someday start a small farm. I have learned a lot from you by watching your videos. maybe if it would be ok i could visit you at the farmers market in Ithaca. thank you again for sharing.
I knew you'd have the perfect explanation for why you don't irrigate. Makes perfect sense. I'm glad that you show taking the cattle to butcher. That's transparency and truthfulness of raising animals for a living. Farming. Love the farm and all of your beautiful livestock.
Keep showing it,people need to know where the food really comes from. Keep up the good work!
Another GREAT video!!! Hope you get some rain 🌧!!!
We had a racoon problem too. Dp traps got 3 of them and got 10 raccoons last week.
love your videos and thanks for them
i have a question though, i thought i heard Hillary say she washed the eggs in cold water, I thought you should wash eggs in water warmer than the egg so that warm pulls from cold so bacteria dont get pulled in ,this could be a misunderstanding on my part could you please address this in a future video or comment
thanks again and God bless
I haven’t heard about Farmer Tyler Ranch, thanks! I watch Country View Acres and a few others. Your channel is probably my favorite farm channel though. God bless from north Florida!
Paying close attention to your videos, I just noticed a BIG dent in your Honda’s driver’s door. How did that dent occur?
Pete, when I lived out in the Midwest I was in awe of all the water pivots out there. But they are mostly crop farmers with corn, soy beans, and sugar beets. Some are hog farmers as well. Some chickens are usual to people living in the rural towns there, much like many who live around here in very northern NY.
I was wondering what happens to the hide of the cows that get processed? Do you get to keep it or dose the butcher gets to?
I believe he lets the butcher keep the hides.
Sean is really really bad right now but I’m going right to you now I cannot but I’m good 🙂 now but I’m not good 😊
I love the way chickens run out of the coop like it is the last day of school.
Your farm, your channel ,show how it is, that's what I love about your channel ,you show it like it is good or bad,
An acre of land irrigated with an inch of water is 27,156 gallons. A bit more water than a typical back yard swimming pool.
Hi Pete:
We're dry in SE Texas as well. We're draining rice fields, the water would normally go into creeks and bayous, but we're pumping the water to our pastures and hayfields
I hate to say this, but we're praying for a tropical depression ,NO HURRICANES
Pete, not complaining, just asking. You used to be religious in your times and days for posting films Times look to be more variable and the Sunday film looks to have gone. Pressures of work or other reasons? Hope all is OK in your family's world!
Looks like field of dreams with the pigs coming out of the weeds.
Dirty bugger raccoons. They took two of our chickens earlier this summer. They met their fate with a .22...
Hi Pete, thanks for representing for the military! It is the Air Force lol That from a Navy veteran but I got to pick on ya just a bit. Another informative video about irrigation, where I live West Central Illinois they irrigate continuously corn and beans but I'm also about 6 mi from the Mississippi River too and we've had good rain here this year. Thanks Pete for the info.
Hi Mr. Pete! Raccoons around your chickens are like ground hogs around my garden...a definite no no! Looks like the live stock is doing well and I hope y'all get some good rain on your pastures. I was wondering, what's up with the Super C? I haven't seen you use it in a while.
Raccoons are a living nightmare for me... Fox are second, but I need to set my box traps too
Love the chickens. They are amazing fowl. Teaching youngsters all about their pecking order behavior patterns used to be in our school syllabus years back. My Rural Studies students loved to rear them. Some students eventually became farmers, even though this was in Easy London. Raccoon looked very contrite!! God bless from UK
Pete, just want to thank you for your tip on soaking in a brine before cooking pork chops. Have to say both my wife and agreed they were the best pork chops we've ever had. Love your channel.
You treat your animals well until their inevitable fate. That's all anyone can ask for.
My wife and I took a trip out to Oregon to see our daughter back in early June. I was blown away at how much water was being dumped on fields out there. Hundreds of square miles of sprinklers, and it seemed there was an endless supply of water. The Snake River was running at full capacity.
Farmer Tyler Ranch and Country view have been on my watch list for the last year or so. Like you, they are hard working non assuming local minded individuals doing traditional farming and both are handy at fixing their own stuff.
Glad to see them on your reference list. ✔️
I just love your videos! Thank you for sharing farm life and thank you for what you do!
I lived in Rhode Island for over twenty years, I had huge gardens and never owned a sprinkler. Moved to Colorado thirty five years ago and ended up giving up gardens, and owned countless sprinklers. We’re in Northern California now and can’t believe the drought.
Irrigation. I grew up in Idaho. When we went visiting family in Kentucky as kids we saw these massive fields and we didn't understand how everyone watered their fields, there were no sprinklers! The amount of water the fields need is enormous, we have large reservoirs just for holding water for irrigation. They are great for recreation too. A holding pond would take up so much acreage, not sure it would be feasible on your property.
Can we get an update on your little garden, thanks for sharing your farm!!
I just had to chuckle when you were talking about the lack of rain! Here in North Florida ... the month of July has been like a monsoon season! Almost every day the clouds start forming in the morning ... then it is like the sky is falling! Everything is so green!
Love the releasing of the chickens out of the hen house that is always fun to watch
I love seeing you’ll collecting the eggs.
💚 Thank you! Awareness of farm life leads to empathy and understanding!
As always another informative and entertaining video keep up the great work love from Scotland
Hi Pete. thanks for sharing your farm with us again. I noticed that the bluish silver van at about 14:47 video time has a dent on the left front door and fender. Oh-Oh. Was it kids or tractor? Looks minor. All good. Chuck in Florida.
Thanks for the shoutout Pete. 👍 I hope you get some rain soon.
You're welcome Evan!
@@JustaFewAcresFarm My subscribers went up 1800 so far. Looks like you'll help boost my channel over the 100,000 mark. Thanks again. It was the highlight of my day.
I have been watching them both since their infancy. Farmer Tyler is here in CA, which is cool to me and Evan and Rebecca are so sweet. I love both channels for different reasons.
Those pigs in pasture always remind of the munchkins (wizard of Oz) when they come out of the tall grass
Pete,
I love your videos, you make me laugh, keep up what your doing. You and Hilary are the best.
Showing the cows going to the butcher is just part of farming and the way you do it is so kind and gentle. Love your channel and the fascination with doors
Yeah, but there is only one team Pete and Hilary. Taking the mundane and obvious and crafting a humorous and interesting story from the different animal personalities within the family acreage is quiet a gift. Plus, educational for this unexpected extended UTube family; i.e. monstrosity that steals your free time. Hopefully there is an equal benefit.
As someone else on a farm, I enjoy watching smaller farm channels too.
Always enjoy your videos! Taking an animal to be processed is a necessary part of farming - it’s unrealistic for viewers to NOT be interested in where their meat comes from. I was raised on a farm
In Upcountry Maui - so I know taking a cow or a pig to the abattoir is part
... the goal. I find I fret more buying meat from commercial stores, because you can’t know the health of the animal...
Frankly, Pete, I think it’s wonderful how you “ease” your animals into the trailor without force and intimidation - animals should never be terrified when they’re to be processed. You and Hilary are excellent farmers!
I for one am glad you show the realities of farming. I start to think, oh I would like to and could do that, then that reality of farming/ attachment to the animals, it would too stressful for me personally to want to take that on.
How do people think meat gets to the supermarket? Lol
Good morning Pete!
Thanks for another good video Pete and Hillary, and also thanks for sharing your recommendation for a couple of good RUclips channels.
Pete, your videos are very interesting and informative don’t let a small percentage of subscribers sway you to change. Where else can we get this kind of entertainment and your bad jokes?
I’m the grandson of a Norfolk farmer’s daughter. As children we used to stay on the family farm at Shotesham. I like your tales of farming especially the piggies.❤
Thanks for sharing 👍. Really enjoy your video's.
Got those rascals, yes! I got macho with a coon in a tree once and hit him with a rock. Next thing I know he landed right on my head! I don't know who was more stunned, me or the coon, but it did knock the wind out of him which allowed me to collect myself and get him off of me and in retreat. You have to get rid of them or they will keep coming back. As to other channels, I think and all the guys agree with me, yours might repeat something every now and then, but it's LIFE ON THE FARM and I don't necessarily have to go scrolling and looking for certain content. Kinda like making sure we get REVIEW which is a great way to teach! OK guys, let him hear your responses... "Bye, Pete!" "See you later, Pete", Goodbye Pete, see you next time, I'm so glad it rained!" I am a blessed man to get to do this. Thanks for being there for us!
I think reality is best. With that said these animals are very well cared for and raised to make money for the farm.
True that it affects the bottom line. But a drought affects all producers. Many of them respond by selling stock (Sale barn lines in TX). This leads to reduced stocks. Beef stocks are the lowest they have been in memory on a nationwide basis. This of course leads to higher prices. So whilke inflation sucks, hopefully it will allow JAFAF to recoup the hay-related expenses.
I just had to do the math...
1inch = 0.623 gallons per square foot.
1 acre = 43560 square feet
43560 x 0.623 = 27,137.88 gallons
Geez how did I miss you getting a new truck?! Ford!! Can't believe you veered away from a trusty Toyota.
The piggers are my favorite… the little one with the black snout… ADORABLE!!
It's a very common misconception that we somehow "enjoy" dispatching animals. "How can you kill those sweet animals"?
I derive no enjoyment from dispatching any animals we use for food nor any predators that I need to remove. My wife now has no issue with meat chickens but she can't handle dispatching the pigs. She will help process them, or a deer, but doesn't want to be around when I handle the pigs.
