- Опубликовано: 24 июн 2024
- Join us on this eventful journey as we navigate through the challenges of haying season. In this exciting RUclips video, we embark on a ride with Arnie to assess the condition of our freshly cut hay, which unfortunately got rained on. Will it still be suitable for our sheep, or will it have to be discarded?
While exploring the fields, we take the opportunity to showcase the different varieties of grasses that make up our hay mixture. Discover the fascinating world of hay production and learn about the importance of grass diversity in providing optimal nutrition for our livestock.
But that's not all! As we make our way back home, we stumble upon an unexpected surprise - a Dorset lamb breakout! Witness the chaos as we find the fence knocked over and adorable lambs freely wandering around the yard. Join us in unraveling the mystery behind this unexplainable event.
Throughout this captivating video, we also take a moment to observe the progress of the adjacent corn and soybean crops, providing insights into the diverse agricultural practices on our farm.
Don't miss out on this thrilling adventure filled with hay quality assessments, grass variety showcases, and an unexpected lamb breakout. Subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our farming escapades!

Well, hi Sharon! I totally understand you not commenting in the past. However, thank you so much for taking the time to write today from a shop in Illinois that sounds like it would be right up my alley! I very much loved your comments today. I'm glad we bring some happiness to your life as you did to ours today 🥰🥰
😜AHHHWW Baby beans, they are cute! I hope they keep growing big and strong.😊
Sparticus is really growing well, he's so cute i want to squeeze him!🥰🥰🥰
Good morning Arnie and Lynn. Looks like the hitch hiking worked. It was that amazing smile and cuteness. Boy the rain has been unrelenting there and here too. I didn’t realize how many different types of grasses that there are. Yup Arnie does get excited but he does like telling about the whys and wherefores. Wow Timothy is like a fuzzy grass. Well he loved the compliment for sure. 💪💪. Moron??😂😂😂😂😂. Escapees. Saw an opening and went for it. They talked together and decided with you gone time for an adventure. The boys love love attention. And he is an adorable ram. Thanks for taking us along today. Always fun fun. Big big hugs to you both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😉😉😉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you thought it was a fun day! I actually had a fun day making it. Not all days are "fun" but despite all the set backs we've been having this year with a lot of days leaving us feeling quite depressed, this day we were feeling better for some reason and I think it may have showed. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@EwetopiaFarms It really showed. You had happy smiles and Arnies sense of humor showed up. Thanks for the smiles. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good Mornig from MN 🌼🐝
It must be so much fun riding around on that machine! I wish that you didn't lose so much good hay. The corn looks pretty good. That heat wave coming sounds serious. I hope that you guys stay cool! The baby beans look great. Learning about the different types of grass that makes up the hay is very interesting . It was funny when you said yee haw lol! Those sheep managed to escape, too bad about the gate. Aww, Spartacus and his friends are looking so good, too bad about the fighting lol. I love how you and Arnie joke around together, you have good chemistry. I just love the connection that you share with your sheep, it's easy to see. Aww, Moron was the perfect sheep to end the video with, he is sooo cute! The still photos of the farm are beautiful too. Thank you so much for another great episode, see you tomorrow! ❤🐑
Thanks, Jessica! A lot is happening in today's video, and despite the problems we've been having this spring/summer, today really was a more enjoyable day for us. See you tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good afternoon. Enjoyed todays vlog. Those lamb teenagers are something else 😂
I really enjoyed making today's video so I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
As of the video, so glad you didn’t lose that good hay.
So many beautiful lambs. Moron is a cutie.
Nice relaxing ending of the vlog.
THANK EWE!!
We do end up losing the hay on the ground, unfortunately. It will be coming up soon. Moron is a nice boy 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
That was a beautiful ending to the video! Perfect with the lovely music! The sky from the hay field looked more like a" hurry up and get the hay put up" sky.😉 The ram lamb is too precious for his name.😂😆 He has those beautiful Suffolk eyes, such expressive eyes! Thanks for a great video and stay safe!!🙏❤
Yes, he does, but he was acting like a Moron that day, and since it was an M year, it stuck!😆😅😅
@@EwetopiaFarms 🤣😂

Good morning !!! 🌹🌹🌹
Hi!🥰
That was cool to learn about hay! How is little Mister and Maisy doing? I love how the sheep do silly things 😂❤
Maisy is fantastic! Little Mister is not doing well because of not eating 😌
Really nice pictures at the end. Great video like always. See you tomorrow
Thanks!🙂
Sorry about the hay😢 quite the hit. Hope the next harvests & weather cooperate.
Wow the sheep were definitely partying while you were away.
I didn’t think Arnie was yelling about the different types of grasses. He would fit right in with my family’s voice level as we all make sure everyone can hear us especially since some of the family is hard of hearing from all the years of being around loud equipment. How much would it cost to get an Arnie flex? Maybe we could all pitch in! LOL
Lol! I am sure he could be bought!🤣🤣🤣 Yes, he is from a big family so I think loudest voice was the one that got heard. My family is all quiet 😁
You too are so fun ❤ have a great day!!
You too!
21:50 “Well, once that gate is open, we just make our way out. Isn’t that what we are supposed to do? Isn’t that what you tell us to do after you open the gate?” 😅
Sheep are humdingers. That’s why I love watching yours. I get to learn so much about sheep psychology. Love Spartacus! ♥️
Oh, and hitchhiking. Those were the days. My dad said if I ever did such a thing, he’d disown me. Too many motorcycle gang riders hiding out in an abandoned theme park about 2 minutes from our house, which was well in the country. They were bad, had ties to the city about a half hour from our home. Let’s just say, they ended up murdering two people before the gang ran out of the country.
I don’t know why I share so much about my life on here, but, I do. I feel like Ewetopia Farms is family.
I can’t wait to watch the exciting news on the next episode of Ewetopia Farms. ♥️
I'm so glad you feel comfortable enough to share personal stuff with us! I like to think that all us regulars or "Ewetopians" are family. I do find that even as I unconsciously say things, memories are triggered, too. Hitchhiking was a common thing when I was growing up. We knew we weren't supposed to do it, but I was a bit of a rebel, so I did my share of hitchhiking. It all ended the day I took a ride from a van full of guys. They asked me where I was headed when I got in, and my response was "Heart's Desire" ! The looks on their faces made me realize that if you lived in a subdivision called Hearts Desire, hitching a ride probably wasn't a good idea!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@EwetopiaFarms I never tried to hitchhike. My dad’s fear was surreal throughout my young years. And, I won’t hitchhike today either.
@@davilynwentzel9551 I wouldn't either!🙂
Oh haying season! How I miss it-the scents, the feel of the hay, the heat most days, the bumpy field roads, and the satisfaction of getting the job done. Your vids let me relive it all again. 😉🌾
You guys had me chuckling over who brought down the gate.
Moron certainly is a friendly ram. Will you keep him or sell him to another farmer?
Loved the stills and the music at the end! You made my day, Lynn.💛
You wouldn't enjoy haying season this year! It is a stressful nightmare! Arnie's in the field as we speak trying to save yet another field as the thunderstorm approaches. It's just awful!
All the rams we keep are for sale as breeding rams. Only a few would we use ourselves
Keeping fingers crossed that Arnie was able to save the field. Rain is always a headache for farmers when there’s too much of it. 🤞
@Mary-F Thanks but this story does not have a happy ending this time! Stay tuned!🙂
Fun and interesting video!
Thanks!
Glad you got some dry hay up, & hopefully you can salvage the rows that got some rain. If not there may be a market for cattle hay this year with all the poor weather.
Unfortunately, everyone has tons of hay this year so we can't even give it away
I think Arnie is a awesome teacher. Lynn is just a little to sensitive. LOL If he doesn't start wear hearing protection around the tractors, he will be yelling at you all the time and you will have to yell back! I am talking from experience. Thanks for the grass lesson.
Yes, we are doing that already!😆
Good morning I enjoyed the morning video. Sorry about your hay.
Thanks 🙂
Are you going to have enough Hay for the year or will you run out sooner?
We're still optimistic but until the end of summer, you never really know
Hi, Lynn. Moron is a good-looking ram, for sure. And if he really is a son of Hilton, you know he has at least one R and has a decent shot at being RR. I'm just not wild about the fact he's a triplet. I probably mentioned it before, but back in 1970, my aunt and uncle purchased a triplet ram for stud. They kept back a bunch of his daughters. Those daughters turned out to be MAJOR triplet machines. But you haven't noticed anything with Gladiator's daughters being triplet machines, so perhaps my aunt and uncle's experience was just a fluke.
It's such a shame about the hay. (Meant to say something about that yesterday.) What about the neighbor who has cattle? Perhaps he'd be willing to take it off your hands at a significantly reduced price? (Please forgive me if that's a dumb question.)
Yes, we haven't had those triplet issues. I would notice if it was a problem because you know how I feel about triplets!😁 We gave some hay away. We baled up that rained on new seeding alfalfa mix and went to all the farmers in the neighborhood and offered already cut and baled hay for free. No takers!😌 101 bakes are sitting in the bush now😪
@@EwetopiaFarms Well, that really sucks about the hay. 🤥
😢
Yes it does and it's continuing as we speak! It's once again pouring on cut hay!!!@craigpacker7171
@@EwetopiaFarms Curses! 😡😡😡
If there's chaos to be had then you can count on sheep to make it as they enjoy causing mayhem i used to have a ewe called mayhem and another one called trouble and another one called madam butterfly xx
So true! We also have a Mayhem!🙂
What was the bit about 94 down, 1100 to go? I think it flew over my head.
Am I to understand that you didn’t lose that hay after all??!!
How did Moron get his name?
94 bales made. The hay on the ground did have to get destroyed which turned out to be 101 bales We need approximately 1100 bale. So, 94 down, 1100 to go 😁 Moron is just a funny, bossy, silly ram!🥰
Is it possible to get a relative or a neighbor to help you with the hay even if you have to pay for hem a little something?Too much for one or two to do.💯
You would think but farmers are few and far between nowadays and everyone is too busy with their own stuff
Stupid question but the hay that got ruined can you bring a large mower out and mulch it so it breaks down into nutrients for the feild?
No that unfortunately would be impossible. The volume and weight are quite enormous. There us so much if it that it would actually smother the field 😌
@@EwetopiaFarms bummer, because it would be nice to get 2 birds with one stone for you. Like if it couldn't feed sheep at least it could feed itself and save you hassle and cost of having to bake it and move it. We have a modified riding lawnmower that sometimes we mow down the field in the fall and let it sit over winter. It has 2 gator blades that have been laser cut that sit together to make an x shape and it leaves nothing but small particles of grass which break down and help keep moisture in the field. I got tired of burning the field in the spring.
