It's good to see Rebekah on camera more lately and more verbal too. I think she had to get over a little camera shyness first 😬, but she adds a lot to the videos. That's the way it usually goes though you start out wanting to do a small project or two and it turns into an all-day affair. Thanks for sharing. 👌
Yes, I like seeing her. One video really made me think. Rebecca had been mowing the lawn for a few years. Lot of work. Made me want to re-watch earlier shows, knowing how much she works.
I really enjoyed this nice long video ❤️ I'm just wondering why you didn't have the training fence up sooner 🤔 Anyhow, no matter. I just can't wait for them piggies to be out and exploring! Great video
I was having flashbacks from this spring when I thought I was the only one who had pigs that tried to tear out the poly wire while I was trying to install it. It was much funnier watching you go through it then it was when I had to deal with it. Just two weeks left before our three go off to camp.
Evan, I saw this tip on another video and I thought I'd share it. They use the PVC caps on their wooden fence posts to keep the rain water from rotting the posts from the inside out. Just an idea since I know you've spent a lot of money on your fencing.
Another trick for your tanks would be to use some goldfish or other type of algae eating small fish. They can help keep the water cleaner supposedly. I’m in Minnesota so it gets to cold here.
Rebecca wearing flip-flops is not appropriate for the kind of work you do on a farm and I don't want you to get your feet hurt please wear appropriate Footwear. Glad to see you changed footwear.
🤣🤣. We laughed!! 🤣🤣. That was funny watching them chew on the wire while y’all were putting it up and then after you put the spark to it. They lead so quick not to mess with the wire. Congrats on the 100K!!
Whewy guys ! What a labor filled day ! Loved the piggies playfulness...so cute ...sorry they had to learn the hard way 🐽🐽🐽 looks like Gertie survived the accident...a few of those Tom's need to find a new home...reminds me of old Tom....he was a character ! So friendly with lots to say ! Well you guys do great and as always we love watching your vlogs...you're a very nice couple and thank you for sharing so much with us....Evan you really do a fabulous job in presentation everytime. You're a good egg 🥚 and so is your Rebekah ! God bless you and keep y'all strong healthy happy so you can continue to bring more videos our way ! 🤗
JudithB Great to see your busy day!! There is always lots of little chores to do, compared to a big project. I havent gotten started on my bigger projects yet, but getting lots of little ones done. Our weather is cooling finally and more rain, so we are planning to cut wood tomorrow. My fall garden is doing well compared to all summer being so hot n dry, so hope to fill some jars soon!!!
I realy love the pigs. So playfull and gay, it's a real pleasure to look at them. I'm looking forward to see them in the big new space you created. Nice to see the animal whisperer getting more and more screentime.
My subcompact would fit through the door but it would still be really tight trying to maneuver in there. Our barn was the same way. We had to shovel or fork out the box stalls and the feed stall by the manger. Some years it was 2 feet deep. We had the same issue with the chicken and brooder houses. Still nothing but good memories of our farm. Pigs are too smart for their own good. Lol One year my Dad put some pigs in an electric wire pen in the woods. When it came time to move them, we had to catch each one and lift it across where the fence had been. They flat refused to cross that line. Silly pigs.
This was a really enjoyable video and I really enjoyed seeing the two of you work together and accomplish all of your tasks. I think it’s a really great representation of how life is on the farm as you said, you start a job and then it turns into a bigger job and then a bigger job before you know it but when it’s done you feel really good to know that you accomplished a great thing. The barn did look better with those fence panels off of it even though I liked it with them on, however, it opened the work area so much more to take them off and it made total sense why Rebecca one of them off!! I want to say how beautiful your pond looks and so serene with a pair of swans swimming around on it! It was enjoyable to watch you guys train a little piglets on the electrical fence. I had no idea is it there Was a pre-training session before you just put them into a electrical fence area. I thought you could just go immediately from a small pen to an electric pen, so seeing the process of the pig learn how electricity works and how they have to avoid it and respect it was quite interesting!! Thank you so much for the video and God bless you both for how hard you work and how nice of a couple you are. Have a great week& I look forward to the next video!!
Good job on putting the 3 month old bale of hay in the hole in the field where the steers are. We have done that in the past, a good way to not only fill the hole but to help slow down the erosion. Good idea putting up the temporary electric wire fence to train the pigs to stay clear of it. Great video, enjoyed it a lot, thanks for sharing, have a great weekend.
Hey guys, good work going on at Country View, a walk behind hydraulic mini track loader/dumper might help you with the barn cleaning problem, and maybe some other stuff. They're small and compact.
Y'all are a hard-working couple--an inspiration to young couples everywhere! About the entrance to the barn being too small to get a tractor to it---maybe you could find a good used skid-steer loader. There's a small version, but don't know the name of it. Probably would be perfect for what you're needing. Just a tho't!
Couldn't help but laugh when they got zapped, lol. Since I've used a direct wire electric fence on my sweet corn patch, I have not lost 1 ear of corn. Animals learn quick.
Nice Calm Cattle, That's What You Want. I Watch a Lot Of Your Videos And Enjoy Watching You 's Work Together. Your Chicken House Could do with some Wheels On The front, That you Can Lower and Raise The Front Or On Both Ends Of The Chicken House , The Pigs are Funny to Watch They Can Be very Un-Cooperative At The Best Of Times I Know First Hand. Watching From AUSTRALIA
I love the fact that @02:53 In.....we clearly see that of ALL the creatures on the planet who perhaps LOVE to eat more than any other....."the consummate pig" that is..........Ummm well....they're just not in to vegetables all that much.....and I wish that human Vegans would catch a clue from that....and get off us omnivore's back about the whole thing. Shout Out to Daisy.......you go girl.....get your grub on.
we had some hotels in our little town that we got left over meal scraps from to raise our pigs never bought feed till the last 2 weeks then we fed them corn meal to finish worked great and cheap, interested in how the tablets work in the tank have the same prob with mine we were never allowed to have them outside to many bears etc.
Seeing your pigs reminded me of how entertainingly silly they can be. I miss having hogs. Okay, not really. I don't miss the stink. Or the noise. Or how they tear up everything. Or the teeth cutting and castration ordeal. Nevermind, I'll just admire your pigs on video! 🙄
We also head 18 sows that farrowed nine every two months except July and January. We ran a two wire electric fence inside of the hog wire and at night they would walk around checking the fence and you could see the sparks fly between their body in the wire. We also milk 16 Holstein cows. This is on 130 acres of tillable land.
Wire it straight 110 my grandpa used to lol His hogs stayed up though. Us kids rode fenders saddle tanks pulled things out running combine headers etc etc etc. when I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s we thought nothing of death. I am 46 have a 3 year old granddaughter I cringe at the thought of her riding a fender even if she were 12 or 13. Stay safe
The two of you are a wonderful working team. I know the work is smelly and hard but it seem like fun to the both of you with talking and laughter. Way to go guys. The work had to be done so why not do it with some laughter, it goes faster. The piggies are so curious and they found out what was going on sooner than later. Three good shocks and they said boy what was that. They learn rather quickly. It was funny how they took off after the shock. Whenever they see wire like that they will know not to touch it. Your animals will love you for the good care you give them. Chores well done. Hard work but the results are worth it in the end. (Chores) jobs well done.
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while and I really enjoy them. You and your wife are very hard workers and you say you have a job that you do besides that besides the fan I wonder what you do for work other than the the farm I’m here in the Maine I am retired but I watch a lot of RUclips so just thought I’d drop you a note you guys are doing real good. God bless.
When my dad had pigs, they learned very quickly that the fence was not your friend. His biggest problem was when he wanted to load them up for market they would refuse to go through any area that had formally had a wire going across it. He also trained critters like raccoons and such to stay out of the garden by putting a wire up and attached something edible to the wire and if that was not effective enough he would place a small piece of flat metal under the wire. Sounds mean but things learn very quickly and they left the garden alone. His land included an old empty gravel pit and the pigs would root around the edges, making a trail around the rim. They were also great at keeping down the brush back in the woods. They can really be very smart, we had one that became a pet until he became too big. Lots of work that you are doing, but it is looking good.
When I was a kid, we had 500 laying hands and we couldn’t clean the chicken coop all winter up there in central Minnesota workout to be 0 to 20 below, so, when we did clean it out, the ammonia smell was horrible
I put some gold fish in my stock tank to help keep it clean, the cows don’t mind them, least not my cows and it’s a natural remedy for a clean tank. Every now and then I’ll put some fish food in it. Like I said, seems to work for me.
Pigs are a really smart animal. they can be trained. One thing though if you want the pigs to walk out of the gate come butcher time, they won't go where the wire was. 1 day before you load pigs, don't give them any feed and move them to a new pen. Trust me that will work so much better for you.
I moved my 2 month old piggies to a larger pasture and strung electric fence wire about 8 inches from the ground to train them to stay away from the fence. That first day they got zapped many times, squealing each time then running into their shelter. After a couple hours of that they ran into the shelter and buried themselves in hay for the rest of the day. I felt bad for them.
Stock Tank Defense does not work. We tried it in our horse trough. Still had algae even with the tank in the shade most of the day. Still ended up having to dump and clean the tank.
Where's the 4 wheeler to pull the chicken tractor, animals can also smell when a fence is on to some extent. i have heard that if you want to break wild animals to a hot wire put can lids with peanut butter on them on the wire they will smell it and nose it and get shocked

Yes and she has such a happy smile!
Yes it’s funny hearing her Input
Yes, I like seeing her. One video really made me think. Rebecca had been mowing the lawn for a few years. Lot of work. Made me want to re-watch earlier shows, knowing how much she works.
100% agree
It was great to see both of you having a good day working. It looked like both of you were relaxed and enjoying it, course some part more than others.
I really enjoyed this nice long video ❤️ I'm just wondering why you didn't have the training fence up sooner 🤔 Anyhow, no matter. I just can't wait for them piggies to be out and exploring!
Great video

"Freezer Camp" -- Absolutely my favorite euphemism :)

People who have farms don't get a day off.
Rebecca wearing flip-flops is not appropriate for the kind of work you do on a farm and I don't want you to get your feet hurt please wear appropriate Footwear.
Glad to see you changed footwear.
🤣🤣. We laughed!! 🤣🤣. That was funny watching them chew on the wire while y’all were putting it up and then after you put the spark to it. They lead so quick not to mess with the wire.
Congrats on the 100K!!
Thanks Chuck
Don't forget to water your ground post every now and then. The pigs are cute!
Stop making fun of Rebecca , lol. She loves her animals. And she is sweet to them.
Enjoyed your morning
Great video. All of the animals are looking so good. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Cleaner than most I see on here LoL some of the people should have to drink from the watering tub for real 💯😎
An evening BBQ with Somemores to celebrate the day of some more chores. Well-balanced farm with happy animals and farmers.
Hope she don't find a snake while reaching under the wood pile for eggs. Snakes like eggs too
Whewy guys ! What a labor filled day ! Loved the piggies playfulness...so cute ...sorry they had to learn the hard way 🐽🐽🐽 looks like Gertie survived the accident...a few of those Tom's need to find a new home...reminds me of old Tom....he was a character ! So friendly with lots to say ! Well you guys do great and as always we love watching your vlogs...you're a very nice couple and thank you for sharing so much with us....Evan you really do a fabulous job in presentation everytime. You're a good egg 🥚 and so is your Rebekah ! God bless you and keep y'all strong healthy happy so you can continue to bring more videos our way ! 🤗
All animals know a kind heart. Evan, you and Rebecca have warm and kind heats. God Bless.
Do everything Manually. It won't hurt anybody..
We add a little bit of apple cider vinegar to help keep the algae down in water troughs.
Rebekah Like your flepflop on the farm pls were safty shose love your videos guy's
JudithB Great to see your busy day!! There is always lots of little chores to do, compared to a big project. I havent gotten started on my bigger projects yet, but getting lots of little ones done.

My subcompact would fit through the door but it would still be really tight trying to maneuver in there. Our barn was the same way.

Another great day down on the farm. Love dem pigs
Takes special people to make good farmers.
Great video always interesting watching animals figuring out how the fence works. :Lots of variety in this video.
Hey guys, good work going on at Country View, a walk behind hydraulic mini track loader/dumper might help you with the barn cleaning problem, and maybe some other stuff. They're small and compact.
Labor Day is meant for laboring!
Working on a farm is just that WORKING! They're working farms all facets. Ya'll are doing great.
Y'all are a hard-working couple--an inspiration to young couples everywhere! About the entrance to the barn being too small to get a tractor to it---maybe you could find a good used skid-steer loader. There's a small version, but don't know the name of it. Probably would be perfect for what you're needing. Just a tho't!
A Ventrac would fit in your barn. C'mon @Ventrac! Get them a 4520!
Enjoy the videos a lot but please put a couple exhaust fans in the barn to help with ammonia! Check out the different sizes of fans and timers!
Nice bunch of pigs, playing like dogs. Now I would not be able to eat them but they are happy
Couldn't help but laugh when they got zapped, lol. Since I've used a direct wire electric fence on my sweet corn patch, I have not lost 1 ear of corn. Animals learn quick.
I just watched the video where you finally announced your real names. So newbie so cute. 💖💖🌹🌹
I would have rolled in the floor if Rebekah would have hit that electric fence!!! Lol. Wouldn’t have felt guilty one bit!! Lol
Love the new microphones.
Nice Calm Cattle, That's What You Want. I Watch a Lot Of Your Videos And Enjoy Watching You 's Work Together. Your Chicken House Could do with some Wheels On The front, That you Can Lower and Raise The Front Or On Both Ends Of The Chicken House , The Pigs are Funny to Watch They Can Be very Un-Cooperative At The Best Of Times I Know First Hand. Watching From AUSTRALIA
If you get shocked you have a medic on hand.
We know who is the boss is. Yes it’s Rebekah.

4 wheeler with a snowplow blade might work!! solar power would be a solution!! love the channel!!
Kudos to you both for being refreshing to accomplish what you do. You had me on the “chicken freezer camp,” 🤦🏻♂️😜
we had some hotels in our little town that we got left over meal scraps from to raise our pigs never bought feed till the last 2 weeks then we fed them corn meal to finish worked great and cheap, interested in how the tablets work in the tank have the same prob with mine we were never allowed to have them outside to many bears etc.
Lovely video, made me laugh a lot! Thank you - we're sad over here without our Queen :(

Great teamwork love you guys❤ God bless.
Great hob cleaning up that mess ! It needs to be clean all the time and it will be easy ! But I loved watching you do chores ! Great job !
For some reason, I can't comment on Sunday's video..? The wagon should be a fun project. 👍👍💜

Hello from the Netherlands and thanks for the video. Sincerely, Hollandduck
I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while and I really enjoy them.

they gonn learn today
I am surprised at how fast the chickens grow, I wouldn’t have thought it would be a lot longer.
Cornish cross chickens grow crazy fast.
When my dad had pigs, they learned very quickly that the fence was not your friend. His biggest problem was when he wanted to load them up for market they would refuse to go through any area that had formally had a wire going across it.

I put some gold fish in my stock tank to help keep it clean, the cows don’t mind them, least not my cows and it’s a natural remedy for a clean tank. Every now and then I’ll put some fish food in it. Like I said, seems to work for me.
Now that you have the chipper I'd use wood chips inside so when you clean them out you'll have mulch and fertilizer for your fruit trees or garden.
Country View Acres sign out of the old fence ...???

They make ATV buckets that would work well for your barn
i jumped too, 😆
Busy busy video lots of jobs done great camera work and interesting video enjoyed the content and presentation thanks for sharing
Stock Tank Defense does not work. We tried it in our horse trough. Still had algae even with the tank in the shade most of the day. Still ended up having to dump and clean the tank.
Stealing duck eggs and torturing pigs...just another day on the farm!
Wife helping husband. That's beautiful.
Awesome, video I just joined your channel Rosa from Texas
born and raised in KY, and we ate racoons,opossum, deer, turkey and anything else that was edible
The animals love her. Just have a spray bottle with a Clorox and water mix. I cleans the water tanks easier.
Any update on the fish situation? Was it 100% loss?
Still haven't caught a fish. Minow trap arrives today. Hoping I catch something.
Where's the 4 wheeler to pull the chicken tractor, animals can also smell when a fence is on to some extent. i have heard that if you want to break wild animals to a hot wire put can lids with peanut butter on them on the wire they will smell it and nose it and get shocked
I feel bad for feeling so funny to see the piggy's learn to the fence.
Rebecca would have squealed too! Animals learn
Praying mantis will kill a hummingbird and eat there brains !fact !
That’s hilarious….. the pigs are full of salt and vinegar…..
A compact tractor would be too big but you can get a garden tractor like an old Wheel Horse that has a bucket.
A farm is a lot of hard work, but it is rewarding in the end results.
Thanks for sharing 🥃👍🏻
It's a joyful seeing you work together you make such a great team 👍
Hi Guys
You can keep a stock tank clean with a cap full of chlorox in a 100 gal tank every week too
You take all the eggs, but do you ever put a lime egg in the nest so the duck keep laying eggs for a longer time?
Sounds like a new project, widen those barn doors!!!
lol
Nice easy to listen to channel non of the ranting and promoting of their own ideas how to farm
Pigs have poor eyesight so they have problems seeing the electric wire.
Why is there a hot water element in your water trough drinker is it for the cold winter to stop d water freezing
seen ya today on just a few acre farm at the tractor show so i looked ya up great channel guys
Man those pigs are eatin good! Duck eggs are some of the best eggs, along side Guinea eggs.
GET a Bower to blow out the crap. This is not rocket science.
Put gold fish in your stock tanks they will eat all the green slime
