    Justin, I wanna say something. I was 16 when I first started watching your videos and i'm now 23. I took a HUGE inspiration to your lifestyle but wasn't able to live it myself because I live pretty suburban (I'm from Belgium) Though I started to integrate your lifestyile in mine, I started growing all kinds of different vegetables and even grew my own meat chickens which i slaughtered myself by watching your videos. I'm on a point in my life right now where i'll be moving out of my parents house and live together with my girlfriend in a farmstead which is owned by my uncle. I hope to raise many animals and grow my own food. I think me coming across your videos was the start of this path in life I set myself on. Thank you so much for sharing your life.

    SUGGESTION: Just an idea … when refilling the minerals for your sheep… if you had pvc pipes labeled w caps that drop down into each compartment, w a funnel for ease of pouring you could avoid stooping down under the roof… it would take some engineering to make sure the sheep are able to still use the flaps… maybe if the pvc pipes enter the compartments from the back…? Just a thought.
    Keep up the good work!! Love your content!!

    Jonah is a boss butcher. I know grown women that can't part a whole chicken and he just blew threw it! He and Lily returning out to be awesome cooks! I am thinking I agree with the other consensus, you need a seriously hot perimeter wire like Joel does and just use the nets as cross fencing.

We were going to fire her from the CSA, but she either moved or picked up on how fed up with her we were and stopped coming to the farm. On the way in to talk to her I got a wicked fence shock because I decided to hook the fencer back up and didn’t realize she left it on and disconnected both clips. I picked up both the ground clip and the hot clip while kneeling. It was a 2 joule fencer, and must have scrambled my brain pretty good because I remember that a lot better than our conversation. I know I wasn’t rude and she left.
      It is my way to generally be very agreeable in that kind of situation and wish I told people what a flaming idiot they were being later. It’s my peasant blood I think. I guess I’m blessed to not be living that the other way round.

Now I can hook my polywire in anywhere on it. No more long line running from the barn. Might be worth putting in two wires of perimeter fencing!
