Farming is Full of Challenges. Your Family deals with Issues Better than Most 👍 because you have a Highly Skilled Team and Hard Working Family. GOD Bless! 🙏
Really like this channel, it's a mix of everything and NO bs or drama, just getting things done in a down to earth way👍👍.
Thanks!!
It is the most believable and down to earth farm channel on here.
My Grandma ❤ on my Dad’s side made Homemade Noodles at their house. When we brought them Home and ate them, they Tasted like the Smell of Grandma’s House.
You brought back fond memories of my grandmother who was born in 1899. On Saturday she would make her noodles and let them dry all day and overnight. Then on Sunday after church she would cook Sunday dinner. I could never forget how great they were and how that was all I wanted for dinner. I would compliment on then and she would say if you think mine are good, you should have eaten my mothers, instead of store bought eggs she used the eggs her chickens had freshly laid.
It is so good for you guys to share some of the in’s and out’s of farming. Nothing is a straight line! Always adapting. You guys are awesome.
Ronda my wife Michele and I Dave just love your channel. You cover so much and we find it amazing on how much it take to run a farm. Ur kids are a blast. And you husband does a great job explaining what he is doing.
We’re a bee keeping company in Ohio and what it takes to run my bee farms is nothing compared to cows. 😂.
God bless you and your family

Thanks for watching!! I'd love to have bees, but there's so much to learn!! 😀
@@acresofclayhomestead oh ya for sure
@@acresofclayhomestead another way you can have honeybees is contacting the local bee club. There are people looking for
Places to put there bees. Work out a plan and honey u get. Just a thought.
I do that here in Ohio
I think this is the warmest January I have ever seen in Wisconsin.Ryanhall RUclips forcaster says we will have some cold and then back to warm again. It does not feel like Wisconsin. Time to start the garden seeds pretty soon LOL
It's definitely been a mild January!!
Hello Ronda, glad to see all is well. Always good to see Kevin, no rest for the weary lol. Hopefully you are having a somewhat light winter compared to the usual. Thanks to you and Kevin for sharing your day with us.
Rhonda -- My dear paternal grandmother was born in 1902 (died 1999). She was an Iowa farmwife her whole life and raised 6 children thru The Great Depression of the late 20s-30s. She made everything from scratch including homemade chicken n' noodles. Grandpa, Grandma, and my Uncle Junior would come over to our farm and Grandma would go to work in the kitchen baking and cooking and it was a great day when she made homemade chicken n' noodles. I learned to make them myself and every so often I will make them. They are definitely a comfort food. Regarding the bedding shortage, storing it might be a problem but perhaps you guys could buy a year's supply of sawdust in the late spring or early summer while supply is plentiful and prices are lower. Another thing is you might want to grow more oats so you can have a years supply of straw. Long range planning is the key here. Some dairies use sand for bedding and they say it reduces bacterial infections. I pray the best for you guys. Take care always!
Home made ègg noodles are the best if you use fresh eggs, I make my own.
Nothing better than homemade chicken and noodles. 👍 Some of the store bought noodles aren't bad but not as good as homemade.
A lot of our straaw in England goes into the power stations
And woodchip imported from Canada and elehant grass ,all so we can say we don't burn much coal.
A few years back, as part of the first COVID relief package, it included a provision for a tax rebate of 28% on biofuel stove's.
I immediately saw the significant increase in demand and higher prices.
I try to squeeze every BTU from my pellet stove as possible. I use it as a pre heater for the hot water tank and built a biogas scrubber to use the exhaust gas's for my gasifier powered shop generator.
corn fodder corn stalks we used for bedding
Once it freezes up try to find some corn stalks left in the field and bail them up. I’ve made corn fodder bales in February before. They work awesome for bedding.
U R looking gorgeous as always Rhonda ❤ # awesome calves # there is a lot of mud in UR heifers barn #
Mud is everywhere!
I have a pellet mill about 20 miles from my house here in north central Louisiana. The bad thing they ship it over seas and get lot more money for it. and shortage here
Been with you for about a year. Always love watching your videos. Glad you haven’t thrown in the towel. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
So impressive you make your own noodles and so much more! I'd pay you to make it for us :)) Enjoy your day ! Kris and Dave
Lol. I'll have to give you some to try sometime. 😊
We Sure Do Miss Mackenzie and Her antic's and Expression's... And seeing her Really set's in the channel and Makes a Great Video Even Better Than Others....✓
My brother started making the corn stalk round bales last year trying to save some $$ they seem to absorb a lot of moisture. With fuel going up hopefully the sawdust does not become a long term problem for you. Some farmers are using more sand as well . I see you lost your snow hopefully you get some more for the hayfields since we are only in the middle of Jan.
It's winter! Dark and can be dreary. I got two 8,000 lumen lights for the living room , augmented by two 800 lumen lamps that shine toward me, and 550 mini LED's strung on the darker side of the room. I feel so much better.
Thanks Ronda. Always a good video of the day and life on the farm.
Thank you for these videos,,,, I enjoy watching your family, whatever y’all do!!! God Bless!!!
You guys are always working hard keep up the good content
Oh now I feel Bad….I burn pellets in Minnesota, says their made in Michigan. I love them though.
Don't feel bad! Everyone has to do what's best for them. 😀
Heifer barn turned out nice! We have lots of mud here also, it needs to freeze up for awhile!
Hi Rhonda , so great to see you and the family doing well. I'm gearing up for farm season here in Eastern Washington,lots of little projects to do. Take care and best wishes
Those heifers were little rascals, we sure know how onary they can be, you all have more patience than I do. The sawdust shortage could get really bad this year, with the pellets and other issues. Also higher costs will create an issue with those of us that are operating with a tight budget. Great video, thanks for sharing, have a wonderful weekend.👋
Always good to see you guys the whole family is so cool it's been raining alot here in east Tennessee too and is going to tomorrow I ment to tell you I had friends that lived in caro but they live in Clearwater Florida now but when they lived in caro I spent a couple of months with them they took me to flint and sag and I got on a greyhound in Detroit to come back home the people I met were very nice thanks for another great video hope you all have a great day bye for now 🙂
You should sow some spring barley it's good feed and the best bedding straw
Bravo Rhonda Kevin love what your family do and all the videos blessings from NZ
Bale corn stalks! You can use them for bedding or mix in food ration if you are short on either!
When I started milking, the sawdust was a problem getting so I went with sand for freestall and straw in pens. Never have trouble getting either one.
Heifers are certainly necessary to any Dairy operation, but they can sure be troublesome!! Here in Ca., some guys just purchase “Springers”, as they need them!! Certainly eases-up on the work load, and the pressure on the facility!! The draw-back obviously is you don’t have the luxury of continuing on with your own Heifers!! Some guys use custom Heifer growers, they pick up your Calves, raise them thru Springers, then sell them back to you?!! Sometimes, you need to put a sharp pencil to raising them on your own opposed to farming them out!! Anyway, I thought I would add that!! Great video as always!! Take care for now, Vic!!
Need to teach Dakota to heard cattle, could be a asset. You don't have any furniture making companies that would have sawdust to get rid of?
Nope.
clever system at the end of the vid that animals eat other side and sandsbeds (i guess) with floor between other side, easy to keep clean&feed
Maybe next year think about bailing your corn stalks that's what we used to do and some of the farmers around here still do they use cornstarch for
Great video Ronda and Kevin and family
Rockin' Ronda's smile always brightens a gloomy day!!
Great stuff Ronda and Kevin, a lot of things are gone short on supply and gone expensive😞👍🙏🙂
Paying for sawdust seems crazy ,it used to be that sawmills could not get rid of it . It is obvious why everything is worse this year. it is called Potato Head.
Luckily, we have a sand reclaiming system for our dairy barn. For our dry cows, youngstock, calves & steers - we use everything we got: corn fodder, soybean straw, winter wheat & oat straw and sawdust. We stockpile sawdust all late spring thru early fall because we always ran into shortages & cost changes in fall & winter over here in WI.
Also I forgot to mention that you have a great cattle trailer I have been working for M.H Eby. For now 34years God Bless TerryD.
Always enjoy seeing you on here
I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend
I always admire the hard work you guys do as a family.
What a haul of noodles! Will Kevin consider making stover bales out of the corn stalks for bedding next year? Even low quality hay has it's use. God provides, you find a use for His provisions. Blessings to you, your family and farm in this new year.
We don't have good success with baling corn stalks with our square baler.
Hi
10th Generation was also talking about the shortage of saw dust.
Some big farms in Vermont have bought a tree shaver turns softwood trees into sawdust if u have access to pine trees
We milk cows in southwest Ohio bed our freestalls with wheat straw neighbor buys sawdust and can't get either was told by several people that it was a cause of reduced manufacturing in general caused a reduction in saw dust supplies
We have straw up here in northeast Michigan we have big bales square bales
Just a thought. Find a sawmill near you. I just got 2 yards of chip for free yesterday. I can get dust, shavings or chip for free, if I load it.
Gotta love homemade noodles
Straw here in the UK is expensive. We used to get cotton waist but you can't get that now.
There are places that do sawdust but they only sale to serten customers. So we are like yous. We have hay left from last year.
Hi Ronda and Kevin awesome video I like that you made homemade egg noodles that's awesome. God bless
Always enjoy all your videos
Thanks!
Kevin and Ronda 10th generation dairyman they just got a small load of
ground up drywall to use as bedding. There is a company close to them
that does that. There are 2 sawmills close to me that have big piles sawdust.
Maybe Kevin you can bale some of your neighbors Corn stalks this year.
Your noodles look delicious Ronda.
We already have sawdust cheaper. Pellet has stopped selling and sawdust is available. I use cereal straw for bedding.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us
🇺🇸
Ronda, Kevin
I am pretty sure you know that I’m always praying that you succeed in all your endeavors and always hoping you have a productive year ahead 😊
We appreciate that!!
It's always something.
Yeah it’s getting scary out there! Unfortunately some are buying stuff in stupid amounts and $$$$
Seems like everything is in shortage mode now. Looks like all the newbies are loving the indoors. Take care everybody. 👍
Love your farm and family - The things you do are great -
The soybean stubble is excellent. Round bale l it up and use that. Super absorbent
Horse farms here in Kentucky have all ran into the sawdust shortage, and i think a load is 1800 I'm some places. And you yall know how prim and proper they want the stalls at horse farms lol
It´s the "take what we got" when sawdust gets expensive and make the best out if it like you have done, I know of farmers that also makes bales for strawbedding out of corn fodder after its gets combined too
Awesome job dealing with the weird weather and times👍Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽😎🌴
And people at the grocers complain about prices of milk and ice cream. How little they know the daily challenges of the dairy farms. Good on you for coming up with a solution for your herds.
Great way to adapt. We have a company 10 miles from us that grinds up pallets and wood for sawdust. We have Alot of it around here in MN.
Sorry to hear about the sawdust shortage. Maybe Kevin and the boys can put their heads together, and build a machine that would chop/grind old trees and/or useless trees and/or old scrap lumber into wood shavings or sawdust. Or repurpose certain crops. This would probably be a winter job, because if you cut down the useless trees in fence rows or wherever, the green leaves would be off the trees and not get mixed in, if that is a problem. If you clean up enough fence rows or areas with trees, you may gain back some farm land.
I thought I hadn't gotten to see the new heifer barn, and you confirmed it, looks very nice, didn't realize there was a sawdust shortage for farmers, that makes sense they're using the sawdust for pellets though hope you're able to fill your needs, thanks for sharing this Rhonda and Kevin
That sawdust situation and price increase is crazy!!
Another great vid! Have fun and be safe
Thank you 😊
Ronda. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to have a small ramp from the trailer to the ground so that the animals wouldn’t have to jump in or out of the trailer and not slip at all?
All trailers have ramps in the uk with gates either side ,I am pretty sure those US style trailers would be illegal here although from what I have seen on Y Tube cattle actually seem to go in better than up a ramp.
Ground corn stalks work for bedding also.
Really enjoy watching you guys. Born and raised on a farm That was quite a few years ago. And that's the high end equipment that you guys have we just got into book milk. But anyway I wanna say that for getting sawdust you could check but some of your wood manufacturers are you know companies said make wood products they could possibly have a lot of sawdust ?? Just an idea. Sorry about some of the wording I'm using Google typing cause my typing is too slow Have a great day you guys. With all those extra hefers now you could be milking and a few more in a few years. Blessings you folks
I used to work on a Dairy farm while growing up in southern Michigan and in my 20"T I got Married And we moved to Kentucky I then worked on a Beef farm fo a little while I enjoyed working with Cows. Ronda you have such a wonderful Family all work together. from Chuck
Hope this helps with the bedding problem, if you can find access to rice hulls they work pretty good. Many years ago when I worked on a horse ranch we had trouble getting saw dust and found the rice hulls. Hope it helps.
The majority of our bedding is bean straw we just unroll the bales works great
Some other farmer bale corn stocks and grind it for bedding..
Great video, I'm gonna try make those noodles
Farm life is Always full of challenges and change. But God is always faithful and I pray he will make a way .Good to hear from all of you
you figure wood pellets at $300 a ton.. makes the source more valuable..
So the shortage is just sawdust for bedding, because it is bringing a mucg higher price sold for pellets. Next year, bail everything!
You and your family are the greatest ❤
Great content, I have been watching you on and off for quite a while and subscribed recently. Seem like down to earth people....
Well we're paying close to two dollars a liter for heating oil, from eight seven cent two years ago . . . Have the thermometer at 65 and burning more wood. Great video, cheers.
Very great video for the family and the farm again
Sorry about the saw dust shortage. But your right about it being used to make wood pellets. I've been burning wood pellets since 2005. People are turning to alternate heat sources to heat their homes regardless of type weather it's coal, wood, or wood pellets. I've been burning since mid October and I have burned $800 worth of pellets so far this year. The women across the street has received 2 fuel deliveries which combined is a little over $1900.
I completely understand the need to find a more suitable and efficient heating source. Everybody needs to do what's best for them. 😊
So I live in Oregon and the mills here produce sawdust all year long, and most go to pellet factories but not all. Right now we're having difficulty disposing sawdust. It may be an opportunity for you to look into.
And I quit growing wheat cause I couldn’t get rid of the straw a few years ago. !!
Omy goodness !
New subscriber here, only been watching for about a week, already hooked. Great channel, stay strong.
You talk about shortage of Saw Dust, Here in Ocala there is a shortage of Straw. Of course we have 2 major Horse Shows going on at the same time which would be WEC and HITS, those 2 shows take about 99 % of all the Straw that our local Feed stores have. OBS, Larsen's, Seminole Feed and Rick's are all sold out of Straw. Anyways good to Y'all survived the snow storms and Yes, I hate the mud too LOL. Enjoyed your video, Thanks for sharing.
1 batch of egg noodles for me is 2# 4oz whole egg, 4oz egg yolk and 4# flour.
thanks for a vonderful video
Made you could bale up your corn stalks of the earleg
