- Join us as we all look for our new baby calf in the woods! Spring is here and it is the start of cow calving season and gardening season on the ranch. This week our oldest Scottish Highland cow, Granny, is showing all the signs of pre-labor and then breaks off from the herd into the woods and gives birth to a beautiful little heifer calf our kiddos name Susan. We also muck out the barns and move composted cow manure to our blueberry, strawberry and raspberry gardens to get ready for gardening season. The cool season pasture grasses are starting to come in and the fruit trees are all budding out. Snow melt fills our ponds and the migratory birds are making their way into our little corner of North Idaho. Tour our DIY kid play area and a DIY seesaw. Watch the wife and our oldest daughter wash (the poopy ones) and store our farm fresh eggs.
About Us: Thanks for joining us and our four homeschooled children behind the scenes as we run our ranch together and enjoy traditional mountain living. We raise Scottish Highland cattle, Katahdin sheep, Berkshire pigs, and barnyard chickens on 100 acres in beautiful scenic Idaho. We are a Christian family that drinks raw milk, raises our own meat, works with our hands, and hunt and fish together to help fill our freezer.
This channel won't be flashy or exciting. We love the beauty of old fashioned slow living as a family. From here on out we plan on posting content from our daily lives around the ranch as we cook and eat together, learn together, build from scratch, steward the land, and tend to livestock as a family. We also make and consume a lot of sourdough bread. :)

Another great one y’all
Thank you so much! We didnt know if anyone would find this stuff interesting but glad you do!😊
Your kids are very respectful of each other and the livestock. You’re very blessed
They really are! We are very grateful ❤️
What a beautiful life you're both giving your children. And Mrs wife, your smile is like a ray of sunshine. Happy you all popped up on my youtube.
She's a solid calf, they're pretty cows. My parents grew up on dairy farms, I didn't, but nothing was ever wasted, I remember we had a homemade see-saw they are called here in Australia. A job well done. Thanks for sharing you lives. Take care and God bless ❤🇦🇺
Accidentally deleted reply sorry! She does have a wonderful smile I was saying :)
Thanks for watching and forgot for a moment that youre our follower from australia, love it! :) what kind of dairy cows do you all run in Oz?
@TheRancherAndTheWife I'm not a farmer. However, It once was a dream of mine 😀 My Nanna Bully had jerseys, and I spent many weekends on the farm there. What I've seen around are Holstein-Friesian and Aussie Red. I think different states seem to like a particular brand. I grew up in Port Macquarie New South Wales and saw a lot of Holstein - Friesian. Here in Qld, I see all different. I guess it depends on the size of the farm and what you want from them. So I'm the only Aussie you have, I hope you get a few more, I'll have to letter drop and tell everyone to subscribe. 😅 take care all.
Congratulations on the calf God has blessed you again ❤
Amen 🙌
We tried blueberries, but did not have success. I heard adding pine needles is good, but check that out before you try it. I so appreciate the Christian homesteading channels available to watch. It is encouraging and educational.
Hi thank you! We do needles also. Any carbon gets tossed on them. Woodchips etc. We gave up on blueberries ten years ago after many fails but glad we finally found something that works :) Thanks for your message!
I was hoping you would post a new one today! About to make myself a cup of coffee to sit down and watch!
lol! I don’t know if we’re worth a relaxing cup of coffee! We appreciate you being here though! Many blessings to you! ❤️
Love your homestead it’s what I dream of having one day!
Thank you for the kind words! We hope your dream comes true someday!! ❤️ Many blessings to you!
Blaubeeren lieben Saure Erde.
Ich gieße meine Blaubeeren immer mit den Resten vom Sauerteig 😊 allerdings muss ich dazu sagen, dass ich nicht so viele Sträucher wie ihr habe 😂
Very very interesting on the leftover sourdough!!!!! Wow! Yes the love acidity, is the leftover sourdough quite acidic? It seems like it would be at first thought. ‘Sourdough Water’ for the blueberries sounds so interesting! 😁😁 thank you for sharing!
I enjoy watching your channel, it’s beautiful country up in Idaho. God bless you and your family.
Thank you!! So glad you are here! Much love from Idaho ❤️
New subscriber here from 9252 off grid life. What a wonderful place and beautiful family!!!!

🤣🤣
👏
❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for the love!
You mentioned the kids are home schooled. Do they get to socialise with other children regularly
You would have to explain what you mean specifically by ‘socialization’ since people use that to connote a variety of different things.
I mean do your kids get to play with other children other than their siblings. I’m assuming your farm farm in north Idaho might be in a remote area not too many neighbours.
@@user-bq4ke4sl5o there are lots of families here and we dont actually know any non-homeschooled kiddos. Most of us go to church together, play together and live near one another. Cant imagine a better more wholesome form of community.
Hi, you shouldn't wash the eggs, by washing you are removing 'protective coating ' reducing eggs usage time down
Regarding blueberries - you can reduce pH by adding leafs/forest litter to the manure.
Yes! We only wash the ones that are super pooped on 🤗
Seems a great time of year for a calf to be born. Congrats to us all on making it to another spring.
It sure is! Thank you!
