    My grandparents and their parents were farmers in the Knoxville Tn. area for along time. My brother and sister an I got a little of the farm life when we were in the 5-10 year age bracket. Both my parents wanted nothing to do with farming and moved west. Now almost 70 I know we need more young farmers to carry on. Good for you, carry on. It may not get better but we need you.

    Actually, there are people who quit farming, animal husbandry, gardening, homesteading, etc simply because they get sick of stress of doing them or realizing they don’t like it. I find it sad most don’t realize the downsides of those choices. Even with proper study and diligence, if those don’t reduce your stress and actually increase it and make your life worse, then have no shame to quit farming and move to a better area and job that works better for you/and your family.

    This is 2nd video of yours that I'm watching, I only watch Goldshaw Farm because the way he ethically raises his animals and and names them respects them, not your average typical farmer. Always different content with him, its like a book you cant put down. Always educational, I've got the same vibe from both of your videos, and I think I'll subscribe. Thank you for caring and getting emotional about your animals. I'm not a farmer. I'm just a disabled person who dreams of being a farmer of a very small tiny itty bitty farm. But not possible. The only incredible thing I've ever done is brought my two cats over from California to Scotland, They're family right? You don't leave your kids behind so why would you your fur baby family? One died in my arms at age 19 and the other old lady at 22 which is roughly 104 in human age. ❤❤❤❤❤

    Yes, you are an uplifting channel, but you also show the reality of what farming is. Hard, but beautiful, and worth the fight. That's important to show too. There's a resiliency that we have to have to survive these hard tests. People need to know that skill is part of the process and completely necessary.
    So glad that everyone else tested negative. We're hanging in there with you, our goat herd has had a hard year too. One foot in front of the other, one day at a time.

    My farmer-neighbour often reminds this city boy of a saying in farming...
    "If you have livestock, you'll have dead stock"
    ... it goes with the territory... deaths during birth, of pregnant cows and calves, pneumonia, diseases, accidents... predation from wild animals.. I personally have witnessed all of this myself, I sometimes wonder how they can keep going on, its not like they are making big money !!... 😕
    I once witnessed a week-old calf excitedly run around a shed and run into a concrete wall, breaking his neck !! Just like that !! ...😥

    Anne, watching how hard you work at your homestead and the amount of love you put into your herd "family" really is inspiring. It has also convinced me to never take on homesteading in my retirement as it is far too much work for an older guy. I also took a look at land cost and was surprised to find farmland at up to $10,000 per acre located in spots within an hour drive of metro areas -where garden crops could be easily marketed at retail and where animals could be harvested, sold at retail pricing and delivered. I think a lot of us have very much underestimated the delicate balance between sustenance and economic viability of farms. It seems far easier for a commercial farming enterprise to own a smaller unit farm in an area where fields can be leased (which seems to be a lot less expensive than acquisition on a running cost basis). Yes, animal health appears very fragile against both disease and pests. Best of luck. I just don't know that RUclips revenue can keep up with Jeremy Clarkson either!

    Anne, I love your videos, your kindness, and your animals. I had a 32-acre farm in Tennessee many years ago with Arabian horses, cows, goats, a peacock, several birds, etc,,. Oh yeah, and a llama ( note to self* never raise just 1 by itself or else) (learned the hard way). I left it all for professional school. Someday, I hope to do it again, perhaps, with the right partner. I would get so attached to my critters that my animals became my family members. I would take them to the auction when they were of age to move on if I didn't need to keep them. How do you separate your loving feelings and decide when it is time to put 1 down and have it processed to eat ? Your steer is lovely and a true pet friend who adores you I'm sure. Could you actually choose to end his life and eat him? I do eat beef but not my own. I couldn't have ever imagined eating one of them that I raised and that I had a kindred spirit with. I would feel a karmic pain and a heart ache. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  6 месяцев назад +2

      I think it all comes down to mindset. I hope it’s obvious watching my videos how deeply I care for my animals. On butcher day there are tears, I’m not a monster, but it’s something I’ve prepared myself for. I truly believe that eating meat is a choice to take on a certain amount of responsibility. Animals have made the ultimate sacrifice to nourish our bodies, and that is not something to be taken lightly. I try my hardest to give my animals, regardless of their intended purpose, the best life they can possibly have, and promise them they’ll only ever have one bad day. The care I put into the animals is reflected in the quality of their meat. Having been to so many other farms, I’m truly proud of the way I raise my animals and I frankly wouldn’t want to eat any other meat. We are what we eat, after all. So much of my time, money and energy goes into planting the best grass for them to eat, improving the soil on which they stand, and constantly rotating them through fresh pastures so they don’t deal with parasites or disease and I therefore don’t have to give antibiotics or other medicines that might linger in their muscle tissue and, and in turn, they get the most out of the calories they eat. It’s a pretty good system, and the meat is truly superior. So yes it’s sad, but… the bacon and ribeye I’ve grown is legitimately the best meat I’ve ever tasted, and that helps ease the sadness significantly, and as the freezer gets empty, helps put all of it back into proper perspective. Another thing that helps is being fully aware of the reality that these animals were born for this specific purpose. I couldn’t afford the time or energy to have these animals as pets, and even if I could, after the ark was full, I’d I was never cycling anyone in or out, I’d never be able to breed, experience the miracle of life, have a source of dairy, or get any other animals and give them the opportunity for just as great a life as these ones do.

    Dang sister, what a tough time that had to have been. So glad it turned out like it did. Some farmer neighbors went to visit their fashion designer daughter across the pond and went to the Clarkson store and got some "non local" shirts. I totally understand the need for some rules and regulations, but sometimes things are a bit over the top. If we got X amount of rain in Y time he could pump his raw pig lagoon fluid into my creek. He said to do such a thing would be unthinkable! My boys played in that creek. My neighbors are as good as they come. Be (people and critters) well!

    I'm trying to get caught up on videos. Oh, I feel for your struggles. I used to breed high-end Imported Longcoat European German Shepherds. Before anyone goes the shelter dog ONLY route, there is a reason I, my partner, and several others did this. To correct the bad health and temperament problems that have been created by bad breeding practices. It is extremely expensive on the breeder end, and you will NOT make money. It is for the betterment ....the future of the breed. It is a passion.
    We never allow our dogs to come in contact with other dogs. You should know about this because it is something that can be an issue in cattle. Where I live, the beef ranchers don't want Bison roaming because of Brucellosis
    But dogs can get it to and it's devastating. Humans can then get it from the animal and itt will wipe out your breeding program.
    I know people like dog parks but I guess I'm grumpy because when I see a dog park, I see a ground full of parasites waiting for some poor dog the open the doors to their new grocery store....🤢 Where I live, the scientists say Parvo will survive up to 7 yrs in the soil. I have been in public parks that have dog parks in them. 3 times now I have see fights where there was a larger dog that attacked a smaller dog. Each time, the smaller dog died. Because people don't worm, properly vaccinate, and train.... or pay attention, I feel these places are a disaster waiting to happen. I can relate to the worry. I ALWAYS Quarantined every new import for a minimum of 4 weeks. I didn't allow friends or family to bring their dogs when they visited Grumpy me. But when you pay $25,000-$50,000 for 1 dog before the thousands in health and DNA testing and certification.....you get pretty protective of your animals.

      There’s a much longer, more complex answer, but if Reba continues to have a low viral load, there is very little chance she’ll infect any other cattle. And since she keeps having healthy calves, despite herself having the virus, the thinking is that her calves have an increased resistance to the virus, so it’s fairly beneficial to get more calves from her. But the regular testing allows us to monitor her viral load and make sure no one else gets it/brings it in.

    Id retest Reba too. Sometimes labs make mistakes.

      I don’t believe Greg raises dairy cows, just beef (unless I’m mistaken) and it’s not really a concern in beef cattle because unless the tumors metastasize, it doesn’t affect the meat.

    It seems strange to take blood from a place that will near poop. Do the puncture wounds ever get infected?

      @@AnneofAllTrades Very sorry to hear about that. I've had my share of critter family lost to illness. It's always hard. I'd not make a very good animal farmer. I'd be better with growing plants and tractor combine work. I love working with a good tractor.

    Been a long time since I took blood from an animal - probably never from a cow, but here's my question - why not use a vacutainer needle holder since you are putting the blood in a vacutainer vial? Is it due to the angle? Thanks!

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  Год назад +2

      Mostly because they’re just harder to get and more expensive than the needles :)

    Fascinating, informative video. Fingers crossed for you.
    I've heard Clarkson Farms is a good show, but I can't stand the man. He made a fortune being an arrogant sexist on car show called Top Gear.
    Perhaps you could call the wee cow Hope.
    All the best. Mark in Scotland
