Wowzer . that is a lot of work !!! I LOVE YOU ALL !!! 🥰 🥰 🥰
Al, you are the funniest Farmer on RUclips! Gina, you keep right up with him. Love you both, God bless. 😂
The best way to keep moose from destroying your fences is to keep them in your freezer. 🐿️
I laughed reading that comment! It's so true! Have a great rest of your week!
Bill, it's a little bit hard to claim all them moose in the freezer were just "ROAD KILL" !!!
@davidgetchell3633 In most states, even "road kill" has to be reported, especially if it's a game specie. 😊
Moose sausage!!!!!
The moosees (moose, meese?) are on thin ice. And there's no need to shoot, shovel and shut up. If you can make the case that the animal is not being a good neighbor the farmer can punch its ticket and report it to the game warden. As I read the statute, they investigate to make sure of the justification. The baggar gets to keep the baggee or it can be donated to an organization like mooseburgers for the hungry.

We just took the train along the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres and friends! Hope all are having a good week. Take care and stay safe my friends.
I'll take the rain and humidity rather than dry. I was born in California so I very much appreciate humidity and rain. As a kid during the summer you wanted to be in a pool from 9 am till 6 or 7pm, or suffer heatstroke.
So when are you going to make the trip to the Cross Timber Bison Ranch and bring back your own Bison ?
Al you need to put up all that grass into hey. Moose in the fence. The only way I know is to use Jack fencing. With all the feed you have available you could maybe have 100 head of beef, at lease for the Spring-Fall.
I believe you said that you lost one sheep because of worms, I’ve heard since you don’t use chemicals for your livestock that you can have burn piles in several pastures, the animals will eat charcoal which is a natural product to avoid worms in animals. Great job of expanding the fence for pastures. Looking forward to new livestock up coming.🙏👍👍👍👍
The One Sheep died a day after getting to farm, so the worm issue was already detrimental !
Hello, We found using the 1 to 1.5 inch wide plastic electric tape. we found if they see it they go around.
The herds of elk in New Mexico tear the fences up as well. No real solution. Just keep repairing.
I put flagging on the electric wire.... they may hit it once if they are running but then they associate the flag with the Fence and the shock. If they are just grazing along, they won't voluntarily walk into it if they can see the flag tape.
The original "Oh so Soft" skin lotion from Avon makes an effective repellent. It contains citronella. I often use it at this time of the year when I'm working in my woodland.
The deer that is.😊
Work work work. God bless.
Hallo zusammen und einen schönen Gruß aus Germany und bleibt gesund 👋😊🙂🙋♂️🇩🇪🤗
pretty ferns
How about a drone shot so we can get a better perspective of the new pasture.
check your solar panels hold downs for loose panels and bolts.
Good morning Al, Gina, Olivia and all the Lumnah friends and extended family. Wishing everyone a great week.
Good morning, Robert! Thanks and wishing you the same!
Gooooooood Morning Robert.
@@samvalentine3206 Good morning Sam
Those Brunt t shirts are the absolute best t shirt I have ever bought!! You should use their shirts and put your logo on it!!
TYM has a post driver which attaches to the bucket arms.
Oh, oh.... @8:16.... 🙂
Love it 😍
Great video !
Great work Al !
Thank you for sharing !
👏😀❤️
Oxeye Daisies and Pearl Crescent a species of Brush-footed butterflies.Meadow Buttercup. I love this part of your videos
Regarding your fence pose aerobics, you could couple it with stone throwing and boulder weight lifting. Will you be adding electricity to your fencing to deter moose and elk?
Do you just relocate the cannibal chicken into the yard to free range outside of the chicken tractor or just convert it into squab?
Check out Cog Hill Farms fencing post! Sounds like you could be brothers from a different mother on farm fencing!!
Time for a Gazebos and outside kitchen by your secret garden.
Al, we just use the bucket on the tractor. Using the hydraulics on the bucket usually makes it quicker and easier to push the posts in the ground.
Who would hold the posts while Al is in tractor and some post would likely bend !
@@4Classie Alot would bend with all their rocks!
@@tonygrimes13
People just fail to think, it's sad !
@@4Classie No they do think but don't apply any logic!
Al to keep moose out of and area you need a tall fence of at least 6 ft to 8 ft tall, short fencing of 4 ft the moose will jump over and rip down your wire. Also you can tie yellow caution tape on the wires of the fence it will also deter moose from crossing a fence,
My friend live in Alaska and here and her husband deal with Moose and Caribou as well as bears, and she said only tall strong fencing works the best.
She also said that a Moose can attack livestock to defend their territory or if they have taken over a feed yard or haystack.
With you losing George and the fence was knocked down it could have been a moose got after him and caused his demise.
Great video,
Thanks for sharing. I watch a homesteading couple up in Alaska.
And to keep the moose out up there, they had their fencing 8 ft hi schedule 80 steel pipe and I think 2, or 3 feet of the pipe in the ground.
Then they used husky cattle paneling, one stacked on top of the other, and all the way around the perimeter of their garden.
Take care, all the best, & God bless,
Sincerely,
✝️❤️🙏🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊⛴🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻♂️
You need a blue cup deer/horse fly trap.
Al, is 2024 your most prosperous year at the homestead yet?
Goooooood morning Lumnahs!!!!!!!!!
Gooooooood Morning Ray
Don't know if it will work for Moose but around my garden fence I hang peices of irish spring bath soap and it keeps them away pretty good, used to jump in eat what they wanted and now they stay away.
Good morning Al Gina and Olivia hope y'all have a blessed day together.
Tuesday it was 101 on the thermometer and Wednesday it was 100heat index around 110 🔥.
Watch "Simple Living Alaska" It's a couple in Fairbanks Alaska that have lots of moose. They put up an amazing fence to keep them out of their garden. It is 12 feel tall and the posts are 3 inch thick steel tubes they got second hand from some drilling set up (no contact with oil).
Good morning from Mid Coast Maine. We are finally getting a break from the heat. I grew up in southern Illinois and I tell you I'm not a fan. Stay hydrated and keep as cool as you can. 😅
Mike from Maine.
You need a fence pounder like Jason has.
🇦🇺I’ve dislocated my knees since I was 12, sometimes 6 or 7 times a day. I would rather have another baby. I’ve had 4. I’ve spent over 10 years on crutches and physical therapy, from the age of 14-30. I’ve had 8 surgeries on my knees. With babies at least after all that pain you have something worth while.
Well moose in the freezer can’t knock down fence
Awesome job on getting the T-post up. Your guys land is looking awesome indeed. Keep up the great work. Did you guys find out that she is pregnant or not.
Morning friends. Moose pretty much do and go where they want. If we were 1000 pounds we would as well. My daughter lived next to a preserve and was always finding moose staring into her windows or resting their heads on her deck railings!
Everyone is complaining about bugs this year!
Your cows are going to have a fantastic pasture when you’re finished. It might be hard going now but will really pay off in the end. Never heard of Moose track ice cream!!
Would you ever consider putting in some bee hives? Think of all the wonderful honey you could get. 😊
Al built bee hives at other homestead and the bees died that winter, they've been setting idle for years, but he does already have the hives he built !
Instead of gates, why not use cattle guards?
Slowly but surely every day looking better good job🇦🇺❤️
Good morning everyone!! AL & Gina & Ms. Olivia we didn’t have a real winter Japanese Beatles (bugs) are really bad this year as well here in Pennsylvania God Bless.
Gooooooood Morning Doug. The only thing Japanese beetles are good for is feeding to the chickens.
I've been wondering how you keep the moose from eating your secret garden?
How come you don't do post and batton wire fencing. In New Zealand they last for years. You could set it around boundary and split paddock with T Post. Moose, like our dear don't like rows of barbed wire.
Rocks come cheaper on that farm than lumber - even if sawmill-ed !
What about razor wire on the top of the fence just curious
Al why haven't you used the toolcat?
👍👍👍👍👍💋
Do you have any bees?
I think its better for health where you are at . The local weather said it was 99 yesterday but it was 110 on my 3 gauges. Also shark attacks are at their worst's the sharks are coming in to find food.
How about using the drone to show us the new pasture?
Good Morning! I wonder if it was a moose that spooked George.
Gooooooood Morning Guy
Nice looking hay field
I wonder about the elevation change for Cattle to travel from Barn to Garden Pasture daily traveling each way, unless Brutus can be trained to becoming a Cattle Driver Dog instead of his being president of Cattles fan club !
Can Portable Barn be moved to Secret Garden area ?
With more Cattle being added as soon as weather allowes, its time for Brutus to start training a Guardian Puppy helper !
Repeating' a Pedigree Border Collie friend to help Brutus be Guardian would be ideal, of-course more Guardians after that !
You have a tractor with a bucket to put those posts in, unless you were in need of a workout.
No; Cause that's a 2 man job, ( Not safe for Gina to-do ) and worse, _ the T-Post would bend and get ruined when hitting Rock !
ps. natural horsefly repellant,2 tsp, citranella oil and 3 ounce of witch hazel, shake and put in a sprayer... used to work good to keep them away.. There ya go...
Al,
you might try a feed with meat and bone meal in for the cannibalistic chickens, i had layers the would peck each other and gave them a meal with meat and bone meal in it, it change them.
Hello Al and Gina . Fence looks good so far . Don't know what to do for moose . Seeya.
Put goats up there they love brush
Have thought how you going to mark your property lines?
Why ?
106° in Tucson AZ today
Are you sure you want animal manure that close to the ditch that feeds into your gravity fed water supply? Or am I confused where that intake is? Myself, I would keep it at least fifty feet back from there.
I think the spring box is about 50' away, it is at bottom of road thru woods leading up to secret garden !
@@4Classie Good, I thought it was at the top of the hill near the back of the house.
Maybe gets some goats again to keep the grass in check like the other place,just a thought
I'm not sure if I missed a video but I saw t posts going down the side of the driveway when you were fixing the driveway.
. future pasture?
For Sheep Pasture, it's between the Shipping Container Apartment and clearing where house is !
I like watching your channal, I was woundering with all those flys, nats, Horse flys why don't you set up BAT BOXES ?? let them help you out.
MMM! CFC, chicken fed chicken! Finger licking good! 🤔
im surprised you don't have snakes?
All the t-posts that you have to put in why don't you purchase a handheld automatic post driver
Our summers are 35c to 45c so 95f to 113f. Some times even hotter. 47ç is the hottest I've experienced
If you let your dairy cows eat the forage in the woods, your milk probably will taste different
👍🏻🇨🇭
The chickens think that their God performed retribution on the wicked one.
More flies because it wasn't cold enough over the winter to kill them off.
Then why does Alaska have so many bugs?
@@Coyote-tc1ww
good reply !
LMAO Fly head gear, short pants and short sleeves. WTF
Legs day next!
Guinea Fowls are great for bugs, ticks and snakes. Hanging bat houses will also reduce bugs, along with bird houses. Getting dragon fly eggs for around the pond to help reduce mosquitoes.
Sounds like great tips. Have a great rest of your week!
But they are soooo noisy.
Guinea are great with ticks, good watchdogs, and very vocal when strangers are ever around..
@@valerieforsyth8278 I got used to it. I love the little whistles and clicks they make to the chickens they walk around with. If you don't corner them they won't alarm at you. They are good alarm birds for the chicken flock I free range. The ticks went down to almost none.
I think this is my favorite video... the way the two of you interact. Y'all are so relaxed with each other and the calm that nature envelops you with is so amazing to witness. Thank you for sharing this with us!!! I think your editing skill may have risen to a new level too.
Years ago I purchased a full body net suit. It has a pull over top & pants pull up. Elastic that closed up the arms & legs so no tick access. Also has a zip on hood net. It kept me bug free during all my outdoor gardening.
Living Traditions Homestead is one of my favorite vlogers I watch faithfully, like I watch your channel. They are very thoughtful homesteaders, and really think through their choices in the things that they do. I do not know if this will work for you, however, they installed a fence system for their very large garden and orchard not only incorporating their fowl in the center of it. Not only does it keep the deer out, but provides them a chicken/duck run also. Apparently, deer (I don't know if this applies to moose) do not have great vision tp judge distance. They installed a double fence around their garden/orchard...go to their channel, it is worth a look at what they did, just a FYI. Love you guys, I am always praying for you.
I've never dealt with moose, but to keep the elk away from the fence, we tied long strips of yellow "Police Tape" all over the strands. It cut *WAY* down on the fence repairs.
I live in Western Kentucky where we have no free roaming elk or moose. We were in the dairy business until I was about 17 years old. We used to tie tin cans to our electric fences to make them more visible. The cans would also help train the cows to not mess with the electric fences because they would sniff the cans and get a shock.
That sounds like an outstanding tip. I sure hope that works for the Lumnahs too. Nice to see you here Bosco Bob! I've been homeless sleeping on people's couches for a while. A few places didn't have any internet connection so I've been out of touch. I'll have to go watch what I missed! I'm so glad to see you here. I'm back in Minnesota and having to get an apartment for myself and try to get the divorce finished. It's been a wild ride! I still have to go back and get my right knee fixed by the Osteopath and the Subaru engine rebuilt and drive it back here. Our divorce hearing is on August 2nd so I probably won't be able to go back until after that date. I'm set to move into my apartment July 12th. Crazy times! I bet it can't compete with your situation but I'm glad you're still around. Big hugs and warmest regards!
@@davidepool5884 That sounds like a good idea too. Have a great rest of your week!
@StoneKathryn good to hear from you too. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I did not know that you were going through a "D". I went through it myself, and it is so hard both physically, emotionally, and financially. If I had known, I would have offered one end of my all-too-big-for-one-person home to you.
Kathryn, sending a big hug your way. There is no pearl of wisdom that I can send to make things better for you...I can only yell you that things tend to sort themselves out over time. Take care my friend.
Dominus vobisum
@@HugoHugunin Thanks for the kind wishes. I'm sure the person your home goes to will be very happy! I need to be here in Minnesota where all my boys are. I decided on March 14th to do the "D." Never something you want! Sending you hugs too! Hang in there! We have to find out what Al's up to next!
Al, putting in 75 T-posts is hard work and you tackled it head on. Outstanding job and the livestock will appreciate all the shade. ❣️❣️❣️
Al Al attacks everything head on . There is nothing lazy about Al
Hi Al,Gina,Brutus. That was a busy couple of very hot days those bugs are a pain.
Have a good rest & some relax. Take care happy family.
With all the T-posts you have to do, I’m surprised you haven’t gotten a powered driver (knowing how much Al loves new “toys”). 😂🌷
I really enjoyed the days when the show included a family meal and blessings. One the hallmarks of family strength is prayer and breaking bread together. You can afford to discount naysayers ❤️
We love your togetherness.
A moose would provide a lot of meat for your freezer. A freezer moose will not break down your fences.
My favorite view is from the woods, seeing the house, fields, trees, mountain and rain.
I agree looking through the trees is beautiful
You might try putting a signal flag along the entire fence line in a color animals can see or use a metallic bird scare tape. The animals destroy the fencing because they can’t see it. And it makes it easier for you to check the fence line.
Been watching you for years & continue to live vicariously thru you❤
And he'll have to worry about falling limbs taking out the fence.
@@cbobwhite5768 Always trade offs. 😊
Have a great day to all in the Lumnah universe
Gooooooood Morning Gin
Howdy there, Juergen!
@@samvalentine3206Moin moin Sam
I haven't seen Figuero
With the garden in sight of the animals it will be greatly tempting. Fence the garden in to protect it.
Good morning Lumnah family. I've never had a chicken do that before. I've had egg peckers before and had to track it down and get rid of. Fencing is never ending at times. Bugs that bad would drive be crazy. That will make for a lot more grazing area. Stay cool out there. Finally cooled off here. Thank you for sharing
Gooooooood Morning Gene. Yea the bugs are bad this year.
Al, my shoulders are sore just watching you pound those posts in. I can only imagine how you must feel after that workout. Thanks for sharing and Gina, thanks for catching the flora and fauna along the way. Now my mind is singing, "Oh give me a daisy a day dear....."
Y'all stay cool and have a Blessed day.
5 strand high tensile electric. It flexes and doesn’t break from wildlife.
U really don’t know much about fencing u don’t use steel post for gate post and i sure wouldn’t use that electric rope fence for timber area wildlife will tear it down u need to talk to someone about how to fence
Al, you are a hard worker with great results. Driving those posts in the ground made my arms hurt. A warm shower and a chiropractic treatment would feel refreshing. It's hot in so many states..even in North San Diego county. We need rain😮
