- Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #164!
Exploring a huge abandoned dairy farm in the desert off Route 66...with a weird surprise at the end! In addition to the old processing buildings and barn, there were also several houses to look through...but I NEVER expected what I found in the last building!
*Note: it was a really windy day, so there are a few spots where the audio sucks. But I tried to shield myself when possible, so most of it is fine. (My GoPros are all broken, so I have to use my cellphone in the meantime, and it's difficult to shield both microphones and still be able to operate the controls on the phone.)

Sarah Jane, never apologize for the way you look, at your very worst you're still gorgeous!
Everywhere you go, everything you show us, and everything you say is always so interesting!
I thought I watched all of your videos and then I find this one. At 1:00 the "railway car" is a silage wagon, the beaters full of hay twine would beat the silage loose as it came forward. It does not chop the silage it is pulled behind the chopper and silage is blown into it to feed the animals. At 2:00 the barn is for calving and the 2nd floor is a hayloft. At 6:05 is a beautiful lady. At 14:00 you are in the milking parlor and the "trench" is where the workers would be and the cows are up on the higher level cement. The dairy probably employed multiple people and maybe provided a house for the families. The books may have come in the cart after the dairy moved out. The turkeys are in the free range barns that the cows could walk around in. When you get to 2% of the population feeding the rest you will have large farms to produce the food. The turkeys you saw would not be enough for a major city for a day. As always awesome video it opens your eyes to the life and loose of farming. That bulldozer at the beginning is neat.
Hey WonderHussy I love you! I actually grew up on a turkey farm. They run and flock to where they see people, so with you standing there they were all pressed up against the fence, curious. However, they DO have plenty of space of roam. We discourage people to do this because it causes stress. So if you see a turkey farm please stay back! (Their brain is the size of a pea okay lol)
14:30 is the milking parlor, the raised areas on both sides are where the milkers walked. Thar rail car looking thing is a feeder, it chops the silage and the conveyor on the bottom shoots it out in a row for cattle feed.
Yay! Was hoping for someone with insight to comment lol
Good call; I had the... "privilege" of working dairy for a season as a teenager and recognized that room immediately, even without the roof. Ahh, the memories... and why I mostly prefer soymilk now...
Yes, the "rail car" is a hay wagon for chopped hay or silage. Back in the day, I hauled Kirby brand hay wagons while working on my cousin's dairy farm in western Nevada.
Hey Lionel here in central California. Here's my take. It's a turkey farm as you can see and not a dairy. The stalls appear to be for horses and the upstairs is for the hay that is lifted through the door up there. The holes in the floor is to drop the hay down. Horses like to chew on wood. There are no corrals or water tanks for cows, they drink a lot of water. Sure not a place known for a lot of water, lol.
That is a feed wagon and it can be used to feed all sorts of live stock. The concrete area with the lower center is were trailers are backed up to load the live turkeys, which have to be put into small cages by hand.
Looks like they repaired their own trucks, trailers, and other equipment. I'm sure the houses aren't close, as you noticed, because of the smell. Just saying...
Enjoyed your video Hussy. Keep up the good work finding all the cool out of the way places.
Always nice to see you roaming and smiling YAY Hussy
Wow, wish I had found this video sooner, like when it came out. I have hauled milk for the last 7 years, in A different region of the country and I knew immediately when i saw the milk parlor what was what. sure is interesting to see how it is done in other states, particurly in the desert. Thank you, Wonderhussie!
I was hoping for a new adventure. I was not disappointed. Thanks Wonder Hussy
When a very small amount of the population feed the rest you will need to have high volume farming so that is why you have the turkey farm. You have the large building for the cows to free stall in so you might as well use them.
That dairy probably could not get enough water to have a large herd of cows there. Sad but when you make it impossible for small farms to survive you will end up with more corporate farms.
Thanks for another great video!
When you said it smelled, I figured it was an active operation.
..... Like your smile...... Love your style.....!!
You are so funny! I love the scenarios you dream up.
You are a cool lady,and your narrative shows you are smart too.I grew up in an old Milltown and explored my share of old abandonment factorys during the late sixtys.My coolest place was a old opera house that was built in the 1880s .There was a chandelier that was 30 feet in diameter under its domed roof.Sadly like a lot of abandoned buildings in the east they burn down.
yea I agree about Lithgow. Love your vids girl. It would have been so cool if you'd try to climb up to that treehouse!
I "really" "really" like the smooth camera floating around feeling...very cool. Rock-On!
I liked this spur of the moment find. Some others in comments knew about farming. They explained several things. Cool.
That was a silage wagon. Ground up corn, stalks the works. Some will add hay in with it. Still awesome video looking forward to more in the future.😍
A great video from a beautiful lady..love from England!
I was taking a drink of my beer when you made the Auschwitz for turkeys joke. You owe me a new keyboard now :-)
Jeff dillman I know right lol
Jeff dillman LMAO..😂😂😂😂😂
They can call them "Free Range", turkeys because they are outside in the yard.
@@morg52 : It's the same with chickens, if they aren't in cages they can get buy with it. It's bullsh*t, and I think people are smarter than that. The organic foods are just as bad.
I know where this place is. I use to live about a half hour south of there. Planning on moving to the Bullhead City AZ area soon. Love watching your videos because you've visited a lot of places that I'd like to visit and a few that I've been to. Keep up the great videos :)
On Your worst Day You still look Great...!!!!! "Stay Safe "...!!!!!
Wow .... Another great and informative video ... Thanks & be safe !
I was drinking something when you said "Auschwitz for turkeys" ...omg i almost choked from laughing....and then I was sad!! Poor Turkeys!! :(
Always 5 stars great videos !
Phew! Thousands and thousands of turkeys out in the Mojave desert. Guess they're not long for this world. November is
right around the corner and I guess they are the feast for Thansgiving this year and courtesy of Walmart. LOL
That long California drought probably had a hand in closing down the Dairy part of that place. Other than cheap land and railroad access, that's a fairly horrid location for any type of farming like that.
Sad to see the houses destroyed for the wiring and plumbing, illegal scrapping is fairly awful.
What great timing to get the train going by too, and I need to say that you should never apologize for your looks cuz I'm sure it's impossible for you not to be HOTT!!!!
Yea what Fred said!!
The turkeys wanted you to set them free Wonderhussy
Dang I was hoping you would have filmed the old dozer up close, looks to be an old D6 caterpillar or maybe an international, as a mechanic I love to see old abandoned equipment
You could probably get that thing running in an afternoon.
Jim Key I would love to have a try at it, those old machines can sit for years without seizing up as long as they don't get water into the combustion chambers
She did its at the 5-6 second mark at the start.
Its a Caterpillar D7 dozer with tilting blade . I made a U.S. army model sometime ago.
Southern Mechanic I feel for you I To would love to get the old beast running and rolling wouldn’t take much they were built well
Cool totenkopf earings, Sara.
When I was 14 I started working on a turkey farm bigger than that one. They raised and harvested 20,000 turkeys a year. The small was sickening. But the pay check was good for the late 60's. $4.75 per hour to start. 10 & 12 hour days 6 days a week 48 weeks a year. When I left there I was a lead making 6.50 and hour... VERY good pay. But your cloths and body stunk even taking a shower didn't remove the smell of death... But Uncle Sam call my name to go smell worse places. That I will NEVER talk about!!!
Thank for another awesome video up until the turkeys showed up... LOL... After all these years I still don't care to eat turkey can't even stand the smell of one cooking in the oven... Just give me a fresh chicken to eat and I'm happy... LOL,LOL... Be blessed... BBE...
Many of those California dairy producers left California and moved to the area in Texas, where I live, because of the amount of water they used, literally pulled all of the available underground water, for their use. They're doing the same thing, here. The water table has dropped so much, in the next few years, there won't be enough for irrigation. It'll become dry-land farming, again.
Love your skull and cross bone ear rings. You would fit in great with skydivers.
Good video, very entertaining. That old Bulldozer looked interesting.
WOW GREAT FIND, YOU MY FRIEND ARE MY EYES TO OTHER PLACE'S I'LL NEVER SEE, I USED TO DO ABANDONED BUILDINGS ONLY I WOULD PHOTOGRAPH IN BLACK AMD WHITE. I MISS THOSE DAYS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT ADVENTURERS. I PATIENTLY AWAIT THE NEXT...P. S. ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU STORIES YOU MAKE TOO.😉😆😊
Love your storys at the end , your sillly. Stay safe in all you do
Definitely hasn't been abandoned long. The Mansfield toilet in that last bathroom is definitely 1990's. I know because I do a lot of plumbing and remember when that model was sold at Home Depot. The broken tv is definitely a late 90's or early 2000's model too. I like that you always show the appliances and plumbing because those are usually the giveaways for a timeline. And the magazines. One thing that I've determined. It only takes 3-4 years of abandonment to look like it's 25 years abandoned. It happens real fast and especially in the desert with heat and winds speeding up the aging process.
And vandalism for the copper and just plain vandalism
Those are healthy Turkeys ... they must have automatic watering system, ...maybe auto food delivery too ... someone is definitely checking on them daily I'd say.
Glad to see that your ok ! I was worried about you & your sister with the shootings !!! So sad !!!
Yikers with all of Wonder Hussy's superpowers alas she cannot control the wind.
Sarah, This is a wonderful video. Your camera work was so good I actually ducked at one point , as I was anticipating what's next. In another, there was a cloud of dust in the closet, I almost sneezed!The, "warehouse" is the remains of the milking shed, attached to the building with the processing and storage facility.It would have been a large operation using hay produced somewhere with pivot irrigation. Your initial assesment that the long buildings were for chickens, was on the money. Due to the season they are doing turkeys and will, most probably change over to Broiler Chickens. Thousands and thousands of birds andhundreds of dairy cattle. The stall barn was for horses, too small for a dairy operation. I share your feelings about meat. I prefer not to eat it but go through phases. Factory Farming sucks. Animals are sensient beings and have many of the qualities of feelings that we do. They just don't do a lot of scheming. The reason the turkeys were no trespassing: They are sucessible to disease It is possible to track one in. Not that you would want to walk around in Turkey Poo, in flip flops.
Looks like an alfalfa farm. Seems similar to a dairy, but no visible milking parlor for a tanker to back to. I pickup raw milk over here in NM and many of the farmers used to be situated in that area of CA before heading east for cheaper land and such.
Glad you are both safe
Out of all of the recent locations this one was by far in the best condition in terms of vandalism and graffiti. Thanks for another fun walk through. How many miles on the rig now?
the turkey odor probably ran them off, along with the goblin noise of the turkeys making plans to escape, the coop
TumbleWeeds are fun to paint and put lights on for a nice patio light
Foster Farms is the biggest Poultry co. in Cali. and nothing is wasted from processing these birds. I wish I could buy there products where I live in Tennessee! They have the best in my opinion. The wild ones here in Tennessee are ok to eat but you have to do them right to get rid of the gamey taste. They can also fly but only for short distances.
In your adventures you can tell when the house was built by looking in the toilet tank. Remove the lid and you'll see the year the toilet tank was cast. That'll give you an approximate year the home was built. I seriously doubt HGTV has remodeled it since it was built (LOL).
Shower from Nicaragua. That's funny.
I am amazed you did not come upon any rattlesnakes in that basement.
Very neat program...those turkeys are white hollands
Its sad to see farms that have gone out of business..the people that were there probally worked hard to make a go of it..Ive lived thru it myself..The turkeys ..maybe a different property..everyone wants cheap food but dont like large scale operations that make that possible..
Old dairy the long building with the dip was the parlour and lots of very clean happy happy free range turkeys
You mentioned Kern or San Bernardino County. I have a friend that has lived in North Edwards, CA., (Kern County) for 40-years. I bet he would know the story behind the farm. Might you have a more precise location?
California had the largest dairy production than Wisconsin when I used to pull a food grade tanker when I drove OTR. I've hauled a lot of cream out of California going to Iowa's Wells Blue Bunny ice cream plant and a lot of the cream went to Wisconsin. California got most of there hay to freed the cows from Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.
Love the skull and cross bones ear rings
Thats a FEMA Turkey confinement, facility!
I REALLY LIKED THIS ONE
You are a one of a kind unlike turkeys...silly hussy xoxo
Love your adventures and escapades. You have an imagination like mine and similar humour.I get a good many eye rolls from my sister. 100% 🇨🇦 girl, well maybe not girl, maybe woman, not a young woman but not yet an old crone.
This place should be turned into a state farming agency. They could do an inspection to make sure the birds are being treated properly. It is strange there is no one there watching over the birds. Maybe Peta would be interested in investigating this place. It looks like a shady operation.
as God as my witness i thought turkeys could fly. it looks like someone has stolen all of the copper wire in those buildings. Wonderhussy i thought for sure you where going to look at the lid on that toilet to see when that building was put up . but i guess not. cool video as always.
speez71rm not from Cinncy. born and raised in Orange County CA. back when it was a good cheap place to live. that quote was from imo. one of the funniest shows on tv. WRKP in Cincinnati. the episode was about giving away free turkeys for thanksgiving.it is said to be one of if not the best episodes from that show. i have the dvd box set and watch it every thanksgiving. i wish they had more shows like it on today instead of the junk that is on now. except for American Pickers. that would be such a cool job to have.
Don't know if you have an iPhone, but there is a plug in microphone attachment, that comes w a "fuzzy" ball, for wind protection. I have heard it costs about $100-150. Might be worth considering if u want to save some $. Check out a recent Kane and Pia video.
Raising Turkeys in the desert makes sense, since they are known to drown themselves when it rains by looking up .
This was a cow dairy. The DFA farm tickets on the shelf indicates a dairy coop.
That green equipment was a feed wagon for feeding cattle
How do you think steaks and hamburger are made? The meat (cows and bulls) are raised on farms like that.
Looks like you came across an old dairy farm that someone else is taking advantage of the old livestock holding areas for raising turkeys. You gotta be careful when you come across places like that. Because you don't know if what they are doing is illegal or not.
I once came across an old abandoned farm in the Hodge/Hinkley area where someone was using a portion of the property for making some sort of drugs. So I got out of there ASAP because those people have guns and don't like people snooping around.
Great video WH
aAuscwitz for turkeys. instant classic!
Surprised you don’t keep a pear of boots in your truck lol be safe
I bet the boy turkeys are happy.
I like the idea that it was a DARPA bio lab and had to be closed due to an “incident “!
I could tell it hasn't been abandoned too long. The taggers haven't even found the place yet.
The mirrors were not smashed either.
Yeah but the copper thieves sure made it there.
karldammann yes lol , they tore it out of every wall , I didn’t see a single piece any where
Turkeys on the way to becoming turkey dinner
This poor, poor girl..
Thank God she has ...something to do!
ha ha those turkey will be thinned out next month, I see the screaming Wounder hussy take us with you dont leave us,
We Farm Turkeys in Indiana....Good Eatin !!! Lol !
Turkey's concentration camp for Thanksgiving. Sad
That Dairy probably belonged to Portagee Joe Silva. I love turkey. They are raised just like chickens and cows. Most of us like Beef and Poultry products. Very good video WH! Please be safe sweetheart!
I'm related to some of these Portuguese's Dairy farmers in California
Milo Walker: Yep, I have many good friends in the dairy business in California.
Obviously a working turkey farm on the one side you went through. Other side was a dariy farm
Not a rail car it’s a silage trailer
hey mike, brooklyn park here...
Cool views
Turkey that makes tv dinners good.
PLEASE GO TO THE GLASS MANSION IN THE DESERT... I WANT TO SEE IT SO BAD, I'VE ONLY SEEN ARIEL VIEW BUT...WOW IT LOOKS AMAZING! HOPE U WILL THINK ABOUT IT. THANK U KINDLY.
The turkey operation is not part of the dairy farm. Best ones to ask about what happened to the dairy farm would be them. Meat. I tried to be a vegan once. After six weeks my skin got sore all over like I had a fever. My doctor asked if I had stopped eating meat or changed my diet. He said I need the amino acids in meat and prescribed a steak. If your ancestors ate a lot of meat, you will need it too. Amino acids don't work well in pill form. Still a good video. Thanks.
Many carnivorous people turned vegetarian without any problem whatsoever. Your doctor was a charlatan to prescribe you a steak for medicine. Big Pharma would have provided you with amino-acid tablets, if it was the real problem, but I doubt it.
1. I want to be your best friend! You have the best adventures and commentary. 2. Where's the Help Wonderhussy Get a New GoPro Fund?
Kelly Sue RIGHT ON! LOL👍👊
Well, they got a better deal than most chickens get, they dont ever go outside and are way more crowded. The chicken poop is ankle deep and stinks up the place for miles. This looks 1000% better than a commercial chicken house.
Looks like you are back in hinkley,
Interesting just the same take care out there girl .
Reg
A small dairy that obviously couldnt compete with the large dairies
Those poor turkeys! I wonder why they bailed?
Gobble Gobble! No Clucking way!
that house could be restored looks like it's in pretty good shape
Those poor turkeys. I'd never eat one again, if I ever Had.
How can I locate it on a map ? (I mean the house ... i think I wil find a piee of myself. thanks in advance.)
What does a happy turkey look like? That's a good question!
facebook.com/gentlebarnTN/videos/860940030746512/ this is what happy turkeys look like!
Cool place :) Poor Turkey's
Business come and go. Someone ripped out the copper wire for scrap value in most rooms. That turkey farm is too much. What happens to the feathers? Cheers.
