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.
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!
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. ❤
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.
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!
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'.
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.
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)
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
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.
I live in Idaho and we are even in a drought. It may not look like it to those driving by but we are. We flood irrigate from the Snake River and they changed our watering schedule this year so we get less water for our portion because the farmers needed the water more. We would rather have green farmers fields and brown lawns then the other way around. I hand water my personal garden from my well in order to keep our side pasture watered from what irrigation we get. We all do what we need to in dry years and teaching about how it works is part of that. We love this channel and all we have learned from it. It's the best part of our week to watch your channel.
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!
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 :)
Hillary is the epitome of grace, strength and beauty. She's amazing! People would rather think your freezers mysteriously fill themselves, you treat your livestock with kindness and respect in a way that doesn't cause even more undue suffering.
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.❤
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.
One of my favorite memories is sitting with my grandmother in her basement cleaning eggs. I loved sitting with my grandmother doing that. We usually didn't talk a lot, but just were with each other. I miss her.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
Hi Pete, you have a great farm family. The cows moo so much, they are like toddlers running through the yard screaming at each other. You and Hilary are a great couple. You work together and appreciate each other. That's what the world needs more of. Take care and have a great weekend.
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!
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
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.
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 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿.
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.
When things got busy with the garden I had to cut back on my RUclips subscriptions, and since I live in town & can't keep animals I kept the gardening channels and unsubscribed from yours - but I missed your videos, so I'm back. They don't teach me anything about gardening, but they do put a smile on my face. We're in the same fix, rain wise - the last four rains, which come about every ten days, have totaled about 1/4". Temperature wise, I could count the number of days we hit triple digits in the first 50 years of my life on my fingers - and I could count about the same number of days we hit triple digits in the past 13 years. Life could get interesting.
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.
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.
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?
Thank you for your honesty and good candor, it is what it is. not too much for lazy folk and the faint of heart . Absolutely love how you show and teach our future farmers of America.very rewarding.
The beef we eat doesn't get laid like eggs! We, the consumer, drive the need for animals to go to the butcher, kudos to you for doing it so patiently. Those cattle were shown kindness right through to the end, and that's something worth showing.
Keep showing the real life activities on the farm good and bad it’s the circle of life “get real people “ It was amazing to see the little piglets coming out of these cubby holes in the woods like it was their hiding spot
Back in the day when I was a teenager in western NY we used to hunt and trap raccoons for their fur in the late fall. Lately folks there said raccoon pelts aren't worth anything anymore, so they're not hunted. Now the raccoons are much more numerous and even coming into the small town where I used to live to look for food. Times change. Keep up the good work you two!
Thank you for showing the real operation of life in a farm, do not pay attention to a small amount of viewers who will always critique regardless of the content, I love you r channel.
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
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
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.
Hey Pete, you could leave a portable radio playing music with the broiler chickens. I remember as a kid when the sweet corn was in season, the coons would wreck all our corn. So we put a radio out there and no more issues. Could get a solar one too...:)
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!
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.
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.
Never stop showing the reality of farming. People do need to see these things and know where their food comes from.

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.
Brings peace to my world...thx brother !!
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 watch FTR all the time! Great content, wonderful family, and hard working man!❤
