    Loved Lilly going to pet a turkey, and doing her turkey dance!! What a fun family you all are. Mr Brown is totally growing up, getting the grit 'I can do it myself'. Always look forward to your videos, education with a smile!!

    😁😁😁. Many years back had 3 neighbors with lots of pasture but not as much land as I had that all butted up together. At a barn raising picnic put our minds together and made a plan to join together rotating as we go to improve the land grazing the different animals. We were doing what we saw was improving not only the pasture but the quality of the animals. We were doing what you’re doing and improving everyone’s land just cus of need but what we saw. Growth!!! Thankfully we first began with water lines which really helped cus we had to buy shares of water based on land and usage cus we were agriculture. I had a sand pile for garden and chickens always would eat it and dust baths too. They were naturally teaching me what they needed. Nothing better than a cooling jump into water and eating homemade ice cream (fresh peach from our trees) and a BIG thank you to grandma and your beautiful one for all their hard work. AND that’s a lot of work in one day. Soon your plates will be full of everything you’ve grown. Now that will be a PERFECT day. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Rebeccah, I love seeing you working in the kitchen with your Mom. I lost my Mom when I was 30 and 51 years later I still miss her so much sometimes. This time you have together, make sure you think of as many questions about her child hood as you can. I have so many "I wonders" and Ancestry.com only answered a few of them. That chicken fried steak looked so good...that was a favorite for us. Thanks for sharing your day....Y'all have a Blessed day.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all these amazing videos. I learn new things from your channel every day and I enjoy the fulfillment that you get from working hard while having fun. Your kids are some of the most well behaved and helpful I have seen. You have both been doing great to raise and support your family. You are some of the best parents I have seen. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do for us!

    15:00 Stop polar plunging and just go get shocked by the fence! I know how it feels it hurts! It definitely wakes you up! And those cows seem to like that grass just as much as you liked that ice cream! I guess that’s why it’s called ice cream grass! Great video!

    Enjoy watching your beautiful family. We also raised our children on our farm. We are now empty nesters with grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. You all are doing a super job with the farm. One suggestion, the overhead sprinkler is very inefficient. We tried it in the past. Waste a lot of water and creates muddy paths. You need ground cover to conserve the water, plus drip irrigation as some have suggested or simply water with a garden hose. Drip irrigation or hand watering with a garden hose puts the water exactly where you want it with little or no evaporation if you also have some type of ground cover such as mulch or plants. Bare soil is always troubling. Keep up the good work!

    Really enjoying all the percentage of food info 👍👍 We have just arrived at the Homestead (2017) we started with our house building...then by 2018 we got chickens. We are now running Goats, Sheep, Pigs, Turkeys, and just loving it. With your info on how much feed per animal,it helps cut down on feed lost. Thanks Justin 😁

    Oh my, first comment ! Was great seeing all the kids shining while helping with the chores, especially with wI ith Josiah moving the sheep ... I wonder how many other youngsters Jonah's age would know how to read the graziability of grass - amazing ! Then after a busy day, let the good times roll !!!

  • @FarmFreshIB

    How about an IBC on a trailer? You could fill it full of water, pull it out to the current pasture area full of water and water out of that instead of carrying buckets.

  • @gifpam
    @gifpam 4 года назад +18

    Suggestion: Pull your chicken coop backwards! Put a trailer hitch on rear. Pull forward under human power and backwards for tractor power.

    @shermdog6969 4 года назад +1

    Our chickens won't touch cow manure but we don't get flies on it either. Maybe because it dries to quick in our dry heat. The gravel you got for the turkeys is what all my property looks like with a few weeds mixed in.😄 We also kill our clover. We've had a few cows die from bloat.

    We adopted an older couples pet turkey. Only pet turkey we’ve ever had. We do raise turkeys occasionally to harvest. We teach her a routine - takes her about 3 days to learn it - then we don’t have an issue turning her out with the horse and goats. She goes into her stall at night when we feed.
