Don’t ever leave RUclips! I love you and Hillary, and look forward to my time with you every week no matter what you’re doing!
I'm sensing the same thing
I would just add the word please :-))
I LOVE your ideology about “TIME”, and I can not agree more!
I was offered early retirement at age sixty, eight years ago, and I accepted with NO REGRETS.
After forty-two years in the utilities biz, I was READY!
I now spend my TIME on my farm, doing what I want, on my schedule, with a few exceptions.
I did not want to “die on the job” like so many of my acquaintances.
I wanted (NEEDED) TIME for me, and my family.
Thanks Pete, for that reminder.
Pete…..you’re a cattleman. Plain and simple. But the love and compassion that you show to your animals is truly inspiring. THIS IS FARMING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. With integrity, intelligence, compassion and love. Thank you for showing the way Pete.
Sunday mornings with Pete and Hillary, perfect!
👍👍
My day has been trash, awful in fact. 31 minutes with the Larsons of NY instantly lifted my spirits to where they needed to be, cheers Pete 😊😊
I hope it gets better!
@@be6715 much better thank you. I’m a 51 year old disabled Brit 🇬🇧. Can some kind hearted American person adopt me please? Someone ideally who lives within a 20 mile radius from Ithaca NY would be extremely desirable 😂😂.
P.S I’m really no trouble and would happily sleep in the barn 🤣🤣
@@markprior6009 I think you might find that barn way too cold in winter. :) But I too would love to visit the Ithaca farmers market one day!
Pete,
I just love watching your channel.
I have farmed my whole life in some way. While doing that I also worked in engineering at a fortune 100 corporation. Not easy.
At this time I’m redesigning the farm operation. Just watching your channel
rebounds me to where I should be thinking…
Keep up the great videos!!! Hope to meet you someday in person.. Maybe when we head to Maine sometime, to see the world’s largest antique tool shop.😂😂
You’re doing great!!

"Like we're a passenger not a driver.". Bless you.
PETE, I absolutely sincerely love your views on life. Thank you for sharing.
I truly enjoyed your peaceful conversation and interaction with your cows and chickens. I think your cows like hearing you talk with them just like we do.
Really nice looking herd of cattle Pete . Everywhere 😂😂😂 . I truly enjoy philosopher, Pete, I really do . Thank you and your family for allowing use in .
Pete and Hillary, enjoy watching your videos of working with the cattle. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for choosing to give us some of that time. At least for now. “Nothing new under the sun.” Nothing stays the same. Enjoy what you have while you have it. What we do, always, affects others.
Beautifully said!!
I feel like with cattle, the energy you put in, is the energy you get out. You yell and hit them, they’ll get angry and frustrated. You talk calmly to them and keep your movements soft and gentle - that’s what you get back.
Sunday morning coffee with Pete and Hilary is a notably enjoyable use of my time.
Thanks for sharing your time with us. ❤
Orange sounds like a donkey😊
Time which we'd like to treasure and extend... 😉
I’m in bed sick, but I’m glad to see your video today. Thank you Hilary and Pete
Change for the mind sometimes is a reality check. Knowing you by viewing your videos I truly listen as you consider the big picture of family, farming and future. I enjoy you and Hillary's life style and interaction. Good people!😃
my cat recently passed away, i had her 19 years and she loved these cow sorting videos, just loafing on the couch absolutely transfixed. its the first cow sorting video since she died so its bitter sweet to watch but i still love putting it on in the background while i craft.
Good memories are healing for the soul. Sending you lots of positive thoughts.
🙏🏻
Pete so look forward to seeing you and your wife it’s so relaxing
Im 63 yrs old and have no experience with cattle but I do come here to learn so I can raise/breed my own docile dexter cows of 7-10 head. Thank you for your channel and everything that you and your wife put into this channel it’s genuinely blessing alot of people. May God bless you and your family immensely!
Happy Sunday Pete! Time sure is marching on. It's slipping by so fast now that I'm getting older and from I'm told by many older folks, it just goes even faster as we get older. I'm finding in my little life that I need to find a way to stop and smell the flowers.
Thank you Pete for these words of wisdom. I retired this Feb after dealing with a burn out related to dealing with the Covid response. I worked in the Federal Government. It was time. I was 63 and needed to step away. Now I am taking a breath and thinking about what I want to do next. I will use your process and see where my heart leads. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ❤
My youngest g-daughter lil Miss Cassidy came running down the hall from her room when she heard “ C’mon COWS “.
This girl has not been exposed to real cattle due to the fact she lives in a suburban environment .
She is completely fascinated by videos of your cows.
She curls up under my arm on the couch, and makes me rewind back to her favorite parts !!!
That ….for me ….is a very good morning.
Creating memories ….. have a good one Pete !!
This was a great episode Pete. A little bit of everything! Very enjoyable.
Love the way your cows come to you when you call them. Pretty cool.
Pete is the Mr. Rodgers of farming! Love the videos, still waiting to see that 856 get finished :) keep up the good work!
I’ve had my first year now with my ranch and my small herd of 6 Dexters. I always come back to your channel. Learning as I go. Picking up bits of wisdom as I navigate this life. Thanks.
I really enjoy your channel, you stay away from politics and divisive talk.
We need more people like you
My dad would say “we’ve eaten so many tomatoes this summer, I’m peeing ketchup” ❤. I miss him.
You are so right with the herds calmness with a person that handles them every day with a calm demeanor, it's how I handle my herd. Also with your reflection and contemplation of the change or how your life is going to change. Quite a few years ago I had to make one of those changes, now days it's about how I want to move to the next stage, maybe lessen my tasks. Thanks for the video and the comments, enjoyable, as always. I hope you have a nice day!
I could watch your cows come home all day! You and Hillary make an awesome team!
Another awesome Sunday morning with just a few acres. Peace
Funny thing there Pete, That flowering weed is called um Smartweed. (Polygonum pensylvanicum) I left it in my garden this year to compete with the common morning glory.
Hi Pete and Hillary! So good to see your smiley faces! The cows ...😅never gets old! Have a blessed week 🤗❤
I believe I was born to be a farmer. For one reason or another I never quite made the leap. Watching your videos let’s me learn exactly what it is like. I truly appreciate the experience.
A calm farmer is felt by the farmers animals, makes them feel calm because they feel your calm. Moving about them talking.....calm, reaching out but not in an agressive manor. I think for the most part we can feel the change coming in our lives, we may not see it, or even begin to move in that direction. Seeing, reacting to this change to late, you tend to miss out in, enjoying your life to the fullest. Thank you for sharing this time, with us Pete.
'Life is always forcing us along, like we are a passenger and not the driver'. Food for thought Pete, thanks.
That's so true to spend your time doing what you love doing 💖.
Mate, I will say it again!! you are what is needed for HUMANITY within USA polictics, your perspective along with your family mindset is whats missing in the wirelless instance in the current realm.
Appreciate you and your FAMILY for being just that. Family!!
Gee the world needs people like you and Hillery your wife.
It's amazing that we know we have a very limited time on earth, and yet we waste it on pursuing some very trivial things that make no difference in the end.
Thank you for sharing. 😊 What a beautiful day where you live! ❤ 😊
When I was a young girl, I found and picked Rag Weed because I also thought it was pretty. I hung it in the heater room to dry not knowing my father extremely allergic to it. My folks were very surprised to find it hanging in the house. Lesson learned.
i would not be able to take my animals to be processed, way to emotional for that, your work is never ending, and for that i thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for feeding myself and family, God Bless you
Pete giving the steer the mark of the feast. YOU ARE BEEF.
😂
Pete, you are the pied piper of cattle. Come hither you silly bovines.❤
That is truly a superior way to herd (call?) cattle. I have had occasion to help with that activity on a largish (600 acre) farm in South Dakota and it was doable although the cattle were a bit skittish. I tried it in Arizona on a 5000 acre ranch and gave up because I didn't have a horse
I concur … from 🇿🇦
Hello Hillary and Pete from Australia. I’ve been watching your channel for a number of years now and really enjoy the natural way you go about telling your story and how you achieve so much with so little. I too had a long executive career like Pete, after having grown up in a modest farming environment. Now we are back home where I grew up and run a 1200 acre mixed beef cattle and cropping operation on Australia’s Southern Darling Downs - about 2.5 hours south east of the Queensland city of Brisbane. I’m 64 years young and am still full of energy for this lifestyle. Indeed I’ve been working all my life to just be a farmer. Thankfully our youngest son has the farming passion because without his work we wouldn’t have a chance of holding this place together. We care about the land and embrace what we would call a pragmatic regenerative farming approach which is what I think you do. I like making old things new again also but in my case the colour green is king 😬. Anyway I didn’t mean to write an essay. Just wanted to say hello and thank you both for the inspiration you provide for folk like us.
I always enjoy listening to your thoughts about stuff. I also as you worked 47 years but indoors as a manager. I then stopped and went to my second stage in life doing Property Maintenance as a landscaper outdoors 15 years now. I also view things much different as I age. I remember when I would wash my wife's car and all of mine every Friday. I stopped doing it 15 years ago and do not miss it a bit. This year October I will be semi retiring and looking forward to it. As you say it truly is about Time. Another year another season. I live in the City and not so much a fan of it. The people almost remind me of Ants (no offense just saying) seeing everyone going to and from work always in a hurry. I do not miss any of that. I truly focus on the little things now and Mother Nature. The dirt and soil seem to bring me back to my roots.
You have a nice herd of Dexter and I like how you and Hilary care for them 💛 Rotational grazing is happy time!! It could be Smartweed that is growing in your pen close to the barn. Beautiful skies with those ominous clouds, looking at the chicken tractors in their new spot.....such a pretty farm~!💛💚
Enjoyed another a great video with y’all. It always is such fun watching the cows follow you around like a bunch of kids. Have a great week and just wanted to say hey from Walnut Cove, NC
Thanks for the time talk. I just experienced everything you talked about this week. Time, love it. Time hate it. It is only because of our age this thought is pressing. 56 in 2 days. Wondering what the next 20 years will unfold in a blink of an eye.
My grandfather had docile herds. We'd go out in the pasture with them and bring treats. They'd see us coming and do a bit of a dance. It was always hard to see them go, but that's part of farming
Our cows are like yours, gentle, touchable, calm. We raise Belted Galloway “Oreo” cattle. All heifers, but one, this year. Your calves look good, so do the cows. When their coat is slick you can tell they have had great nutrition.
I raise belteds upstate NY

Thank you Pete. and Hillary
That Joe/mine field joke was hilarious!! I'll be spreading that one around.
My dad always called his cows in. Suc cows suc cows .i will never forget those days,so as they say keep on trucking
Great video as always and simple way to explain our individual perceptions of time and place. By the way great pork chops and I’m sure Ezra enjoy his lunch with the little mouse on the structure in the background at 29:47 😅
Upper right-hand corner behind the snout of the MD on the back wall along the horizontal runner... Good catch, Peter!
Pete and Hilary
Your channel is so relaxing and soothing.
Maybe from your calm nature.
I'm not a farmer, but enjoy watching your farming techniques.
Always enjoy your BBQ,and when your out with your cows.
Keep it up and hope you don't give up on your guy's channel.
Absolutely, don't think you take time for granted. Time is different for different people. I volunteer in supporting the end of life ( Hospice ). Hearing those regrets from these individuals ( time related ) is about denial and inhibition, heart breaking. Thank you so much for sharing about time!!!
Here in Missouri this year we've had great moisture and we move 31 head of cows, bull, and spring calves(Angus/Limo, Hereford) everyday on a total of 31 acres of pasture and I am super thankful for this growing season
Wonderful ending to this video. Thank you for sharing with us Pete.
Grandpa always called the cows in with a kaboss several times !!
I believe the pick flower in the heifer area is red shank or lady's thumb. It's a member of the knotweed family and is invasive. I see in my are of NY quite often. Thanks Pete and Hillarie for another fine and enjoyable video.
Pete, you and Hillary are the kindest farmers I have ever seen. You can tell your herd trust you both completely. It's amazing to watch you l for the cattle and they come a running.
I can't believe it's been another year! OMG, time just flying.
Been watching your videos for a while now. there are a few RUclipsrs I watch when I want to feel relaxed and be calm and in a good mood. And thankfully you are one of them. When I Wonna come home and watch a nice relaxing video I watch your videos.
Saw Dexters for the first time in person this past week while on vacation at the Columbus Zoo. What a beautiful breed.
When you go out and call the herd, the way they come like a bunch of puppies, I play it several times. Pete, it's great when you speak, teach, while we view the herd in pasture. So serene and calming. Of ourse I'm biased as I love me some cattle. I nsure enjoy your episodes a little more with Hillary in them. An amazing woman. Life isn't hard Pete. We make it hard.
Well mow, that was interesting. Your tasks that you have done for so long they are a part of the fabric of your life, are totally foreign to us. The mundane to You guys are at time brand new to us. No matter how many time we watch you do them. Be well.
Thank you Pete and Hillary 🙂
As many others have said, I enjoy your videos so much! And I learn something useful every time. I think you are spot on in your reflection and the way you treat your animals. I love to watch you and Hillary working together. You both get along so well as you work. I think you both are blessed to have each other. And your farm is absolutely beautiful. I have Dutch ancestors that settled close by you, so I really enjoy seeing your landscape and putting life into the daily life of my forebearers. Thank you for being yourself and sĥaring your family and farm. Keep on filming!!
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing yourself with us.
All of us here sure enjoy the time we spend with you.
I would totally believe you were a professor if I didn't know you were an architect in your life before farming. Every now and then you lay down one of your calmly passionate speeches. It's just great, I'm glad that you choose to share part of your life with us, random internet strangers.
Ha Ha Ha! As you were painting the steer and heifer to go to the butcher all I could think about is the "Black spot of death" in the Pirates of the Carribean movie.
I really enjoy all your videos. Looks like Goldenrod instead of Rag Weed. With a positive identification, it makes a great hot tea.
Good morning Pete and Hilarie great to see you working the cattle...times and seasons is apart of life to fulfill your joy in what you do!! Thanks Pete
Godspeed Pete and family, thank you for the many years of wonderful peace amidst a loud world.
I love your views on life. i have read your book, which is my favorite book i have ever read.
I feel stuck in a rut. Going from work to house projects in a continuous cycle. Just in existence. I like how you explain a different way of thinking
Thank you. Your vegetable garden looks great.
Pete you have the correct idea with your cattle. Makes it a lot easier to work them. Cattle are very smart. Love Cattle
Dad had a small cow-calf herd when we were kids on the farm. Pretty docile as well. His motto was "don't run the cows!" haha. Good memories, Pete and Hillary.
Hi Pete, great video. it's great to see you and your family doing well. The farm continues to be a great foundation of America. Keep it going. See you next time!
Always love watching you do the chores and hearing your words of wisdom. Thank you 🙏🏻
You carece and patience with animals is fun to watch. I miss my farm everyday. But old age waits for no man
Wish I had spent more time considering the change of seasons in my life as you have. No complaints in the blessed life I've had but time has caught up to me. Taking the next chapter one day at a time and making adjustments as needed. Thanks for videos and insight. Love the time to relax and appreciate your insight. I have my old tractors to restore and enjoy comparing our methods. Thanks for the encouragement.
Just watching these videos at the end of my day really relaxes me. Thank you both for bringing them to us 😊
You're both so lucky to have each other.
Pete I love The chemistry that you And Hillary here when operating your farm.
Loved this video!! Time waits for no one !!
As I have gotten older, the biggest thing I failed to recognize is physical age. It was a huge and sad realization, that I simply cannot do some of the same physical tasks I did with ease ten years ago. To me, I look the same. But I am not. I creak, I pop. And getting up and down takes more effort. It's awful and it's humbling. I now, welcome help. 😢
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here its good seeing you I seem to have been inscribed don’t know why but it’s great seeing you always love how you attend to your animals and the farm market hello to your wife also blessings
Pete, the cow whisperer! Good Sunday morning!!
Always a treat to watch the decisions and processes that go on with your farm. Thanks for an enjoyable video!
Really love seeing you two and occasionally the kids song with the farm animals. Thx so much for bringing us along!
I resonate with what you are saying about TIME, stepping out of time to truly SEE what we are doing.....I made a change in 2019...thought about it for about two years prior, and took 'a leap'! It was THE best decision ever~!☮
As always, thanks Pete & Hil!!!!
Some good looking and healthy cattle, and well mannered to, can tell you really take care of your critters for sure.
Another awesome video Pete, your cattle 🐄 and chickens 🐓 are looking good. Thanks for sharing this video with Hillary your a lucky man, she is so sweet. 💕
Pete and Hillary, you have a sense of calm about you that the rest of the world sure could use at this time.
Just love watching you and Hilary and watching you call your cows and they come a running
Pete, that weed looks like one we have in Ireland called 'Redshank'(Persicaria maculosa) Some of the seeds can remain viable for up to 50 years! Arable farmers see it as an invasive weed but on our little farm I allow it to grow on the pig fields as it was used as a fodder crop during famine times. People even ate it! Our Dexters clear it off down to the ground before I let the pigs in to root up thecarrots I undersow.
Thank you. I had assumed it was related to dogwood because of the leaf shape & color. I think you're right.
It's very common on farmland and orchards in the Netherlands too
I’ve got some here in Leitrim where are you
@@mikemcternan8249it grows here in west Tennessee as well.
Around here, I've always heard it called Smartweed, if you get it on your skin it really smarts.
Mornin Pete and Hilarie I think ol Titus is wanting to be with some of those cows, lot of hard work keeping the farm going never ending, enjoyed the video time marches on👍
