  • We are sorting Dexter cattle, and look what I found! We rarely see these around our farm. We have lots of other work to do today too: moving the layer flock, putting broiler chicks on pasture, moving the cattle to fresh pasture, and visiting with the pigs. It's another fun workday on the farm!
    Note:
    -We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors
    -We do not ship our farm's products
    -We do not sell live animals

    Our local farms (rural SE WI) sell roadside self-serve eggs from $3 - $4/dozen. Some place little stickers on the carton indicating the "laying date". Brown color and delish!

    We never had such fine pasture grasses for our herd, but you're right: hearing them feed and listening to their legs push the grasses aside sure is relaxing. Couple that with the birds and the wind and you're in for a calming experience. Thanks again for today's video, Pete.

    Ok. I have to confess. Watching those hens cluck and scramble out of the trailer was completely smile inducing! They sounded so excited to greet their new pasture.

    My hubby is a farmboy, we don't have enough land, so we just keep a couple or three hogs every summer and get chickens from family. We both INSIST that the animals be treated in a humane way, I see you do the same and appreciate you showing that. There is no need to be mean and cruel to farm animals, they do have feelings too and I am thankful for them every day. Take care and ... Bless

    Sunday stopped @ booth #72 and wide awake bakery. Have just finished watching your series on rebuilding your ancestry home and have to tell you; we did the same with an 1850's home built by my great grandfather. As I watched all I could say is "been there done that" and was amazed how similar styled our homes are, and 300 miles apart. Our daughter was the age yours were when we did ours but is now a veterinarian @ Cornell. Will stop and visit booth #72 on a Sat next trip.

    Hi, Pete, I would just like to say how much me and my husband enjoy watching your videos. We used to farm on an small scale but it was strictly pigs for us - Tamworths. At the height of our farming we had ten sows and one boar. We sold close to a hundred weaners a year plus we sold sides and went to the farmers' market. Of course, videos where you show the pigs are my favourite but I do have one suggestion to make - more dishes! We found several dishes or troughs spread out work best because then everyone got a chance to eat equally and it cut down on "hogs at the trough". When it came time to take them to the butcher - around 230 pounds - they were all pretty well the same weight within 10 pounds or so. Thanks again for the videos!
