After seeing so many horrible videos about large scale farms & how horribly the animals are treated & kept, this is a mood booster. Your animals get to feel grass under their feet, get sunlight & fresh air. I can also see that you care about their health & not being cruel, even if they will be feeder chickens. Thank you for being what a chicken farmer should be. 🧡
I feel much better about farming after watching this video! I'm going to start buying my food from smaller farm's like this, the animals are healthy and well cared for!
I was delighted to see so many women working on the ranch. Your care for the animal comes through, yet it is clear you keep your emotions where they belong.
I am supportive of your farm because it is clear to see that you actually care about your animals and can see more than just profit with these living and breathing creatures unlike so many others on this planet. Great job, keep up the amazing work!
Awesome! My father, Dan West, gave me the chicken house on our farm in Indiana and helped me to raise broilers for several summers to help with my college costs. I cleaned out our old chicken house, took grain from our silos, and have it ground into feed at our farm coop...and received 4 boxes of 80 chickies from Sears Roebuck. It was thrilling and awesome work for several summers.
This is the best way I ever ❤ see..there is no no abuse of animals that make people crying..you guys are the best 👌 💓 we love you guys..GREAT 👍 GOD BLESS YOU 🙏 ALL WORKING YOU GUYS DOING..THANKS
When the borders reopen, please come to NZ and do a lecture and demonstration tour of your pastured pig and chicken system. You're a natural teacher, great videos! Thank you.
A big big thank you!!! It was very educational. The quality of the content was superb. Short to the point but still ample enough information to process. The presenter was very effective in giving out the intended information. It is an A+++!!!!
Our farmers are intelligent, hardworking, and dedicated. They've worked hard to build fulfilling careers in a male-dominated field. They set an amazing example for future farmers!
Loved how thorough this video was! Amazing work Heifer farms!! Learnt a lot! Thank you for sharing your daily tasks and winter prep! Appreciate your hard work for feeding America!
Thank you very much for this training vid. You know the old saying a picture is worth a thousand words and here is the proof. I especially commend you for the detail you give on pasture terain, schooner structures, food, & water fixtures. You are preserving an organic method for food production. God bless you. Keep it up!
wow, I'm never going to raise any farm animals for profit but I'm so impressed with this farms production! love how these folks put the animals at leisure and care for them as natural and protective as possible! great presentation, I'm subbing, best wishes to yall in your future farming!
As a person who has journeyed from interested novice to self-informed farmer practitioner, to small scale commercial poultry and egg producer, I can tell you I wish I'd had this video to guide me years ago. Heifer has laid out the complete pastured poultry program without the self-aggrandizing or fear-based hype that accompanies so many other presenter's spiels. While I'll never reach the volume of birds raised and processed by Heifer, I know from first-hand knowledge and experience, that the processes and protocols explained here can be scaled to fit on almost any size plot of land. The goals of self-sufficiency, reduced dependence on factory farming, and supporting local food suppliers can all be achieved using the techniques demonstrated in this video. I applaud the working Heifer theology and am particularly happy to see this video gently spreading the unspoken words that food security and planetary sustainability are not mutually exclusive concepts.
I clicked out of curiosity and ended up watching the whole video, not even a single minute was wasted talking unnecessary things!!! Very detailed and informative 👍
@@HeiferUSA U are simply a amazing & awesome teacher. We need more people with your strength in our lives these days. Ur knowledge alone is amazing. But, I can completely see & tell how truly passionate you are about this. I completely want to watch & learn more!! Thanks so much for your videos!!
Christine, great video. I'm currently running my first batch of 24 broilers in a smaller but similar process. As a former process engineer I didn't really have any questions, which is the ultimate compliment.
Technology wonderous marvel... As Christine mentioned they control the climate in a subtle manner. Very interesting and informative video. Thank you for sharing all the information.
Good video. If I understand correctly, you are incorporating modern business practices with pasture or free-range chickens and eggs. I'm not a business major; but the general idea of hyper-efficieny with good practices and treating the chickens well has crossed my mind more than once. Good one!
@@HeiferUSA Can you tell us where you bought the bought the chicken schooners? Am reviewing your web page very interesting! And how was the ROI on the 1600 or 20,0000 chickens? Thank you in advance.
Most Outstanding video about Chickens from receiving to process. The young lady in this video is a superstar, I wish I could hire 50 of her. Heifer Farms you have the perfect system. Thank you for posting this. I’ve been raising Chickens for near 50 years, and I learned some procedures, setups and tools that will be put into operations Monday. I’m so impressed.
Have you considered using a hot air system for your brooder? We have found a 10% increase in feed conversion, a 15% increase in flock weight and a 10% decrease in mortalities with hot air rather than the pancake heaters shown in the video
@@michaelripperger5674 The heat is more evenly distributed in the chicken house eliminating hot and cold areas. This encourages the young chicks to reach out for food and water rather than standing around a brood heater.
When I moved to The Village, next door had a chicken coop and a dozen or so birds. Many mornings I'd open the front door to find them on my porch, waiting because I'd toss a handful of bird mealworms out for them. It was great to see them wandering around all day, diggling about in the soil and grass. When I'd come back in the car one in particular would come running over for an extra mealworm or two. Very intelligent birds, too. Shame they've gone.
Great video and info, even for small scale. You know a good chicken farmer when you see her lean against a chicken poop covered tractor tire without a second thought. Lol
Hi. I found this video from the recommendation in "How to Start a Regenerative Farm from Scratch". I want to thank you for the level of detail and clarity of information in this video. I'm not a farmer nor do I own any chickens (yet) but I can appreciate when someone has a passion and shares it with the world. Thank you again from a new subscriber :-)
Welcome to our channel! We're so glad our videos are reaching beyond our typical audience of farmers, and now reaching folks who can appreciate the work we do (and learn a thing or two, as well!). We're glad to have you here!
Thank you for this top notch presentation. Liked & subscribed. I'm about to raise 8 meat hens. Smaller scale than your operation but the principles still apply!
I love this! I've been pasturing heritage breed chickens and turkeys for the last several years, I can't wait to do something on a larger scale; like this! Thanks for the insight !!
This is such a neatly, well-elaborated Chicken farming video i have had in a while. As a new chicken farmer in Kenya - Africa, with only a starting number of 50 one month chicks, i look forward to growing to this kind of setup and well-outlined brooder and as your T-Shirt correctly says, The Future is Farmers. This has been so healful to me.
@@brianmboya6590 Hello Brian. I am also an aspiring farmer from Kenya, Africa. I intend to start building the chicken coop tomorrow and I would like to learn from you. How can I reach you?
Our family has raised chickens since the 1930s. I see alot has stayed the same especially the equipment, there is alot more paperwork and smarter technology. You schooners are the best idea yet. I had to shovel out 6 inches of compacted poo between each brood. (For 2.75 an hour)
Great job on the video Thanks for sharing that - I don't know but I started small raising Chickens 10 years ago, and I love It. It seems to get in your blood. I sure wish I had seen this video 10 years ago.
Thanks, Abdullah! Glad you enjoyed the video. We have a video on biosecurity that contains a lot of good information on preventing animal diseases you might find helpful. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/1h4ElEfn300/видео.html
We sell thousands of chicken pot pies in our pie shop in Michigan. I need to find a farmer here that can provide us with pastured poultry like this. I appreciate how this proper method gives back to the soil and builds it up!
Hi Wendy! Check out Joe Koopsen's farm in Three Rivers Michigan, it is called Joe's Farm and they produce the exact same quality of poultry as we do! Hope this helps.
Oh wow, I’m in Arkansas as well to myself. I have grew up around here & have worked at Tyson’s & Butterball in Mo. I also can remember even as a kid walking through & doing egg processing with my family also as a kid in Ark. & Oklahoma to both I helped with egg birds. I would love to see your set-up in person. Looks very amazing! Very impressed!! You all are doing amazing!
We might think you’re a pro at farming. We got valuable ideas from your video and we’re going to share your channel with our customers who want to start a farm. Thanks for creating this!
You are awesome!! Thank you for all you're sharing with us... it's definitely a larger operation than I might even consider but getting to hear you explain the "why" you do or don't do things really makes sense... thank you and God Bless you and your chicken business!!
You have really done a great job explaining and showing what you do and you tell why. May God bless you for being so unselfish in helping others. Thank you Christine. I'm Rod, appraiser broker.
There are so much useful information in this video that I have to save, subscribe. And it is great to see chicken are treated so nicely therefore I must watch many times. Thanks!
This is ONE INCREDIBLE VIDEO! I'm planning to build my own post frame home on my new 40 acre property, and wish so much that the post frame videos on RUclips were as detailed and well-explained as this one. Because of this video, I know now exactly how I will operate my smaller chicken raising set up. Thank you so much Heifer USA for this video!
That is great to hear and exactly what we hoped this video (and all our videos really) will do for others. Best of luck in your endeavors, and let us know if there is anything we can do to help along the way! You got this!!
Awesome presentation best of any that I have watched so far on lockdown, your husbandry looks amazing, I like that you pay attention to detail. which means more profit, and a better life for the chicken.
Fortunately, we are a part of a farmer owned cooperative (grassrootscoop.com) and they handle all of that for us! Check them out online to see how it all works.

Hey! Love this and I cannot wait to watch more. I have a question. Was this done as a way to explain your operations or as part of a grant proposal for farm/ranch subsidaries? Because girl y'all nailed it! Down to naming the you schooners! I can't wait to watch with my kids.
Hi, Elizabeth. Thanks for watching! The video was done simply as a project to help educate small holder farmers on the regenerative agriculture practices used at Heifer Ranch in Perryville, AR that is run by our team at Heifer USA. As a part of Heifer International, we are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping small-holder farms across the globe reach sustainable and living incomes. We use Heifer Ranch as a living classroom to help train the next generation of farmers in the United States and supply healthy proteins and specialty crops to consumers.
So much different than the places that keep the chickens indoors all the time and give them a terrible life. Good for you and hope it's profitable for you. You deserve it.
Thank you! Are there any products you are specially looking for? prairieschooners.com/ Little Giant Gamebird water bowls can be found a number of different places Crates to take chicks from brooder to pasture are gamebird crates from 3T products Hope this is helpful!

Coincidentally our livestock team is 100% female! They are amazing!
Imagine if thousands of independent farmers were doing this all across the nation selling directly to the consumer
I am supportive of your farm because it is clear to see that you actually care about your animals and can see more than just profit with these living and breathing creatures unlike so many others on this planet. Great job, keep up the amazing work!
Yeah but doesn’t care enough to not send them off to get slaughtered. False hope

Can y'all talk about the after production part, storage, distribution, marketing, target market, how you compete with other producers etc?
Fortunately, we are a part of a farmer owned cooperative (grassrootscoop.com) and they handle all of that for us! Check them out online to see how it all works.

Can you share the design details if I want to adopt and replicate exactly similar work of what you are doing. I love farming.
I always find Christine's videos one of the best. Thank you for making these awesome videos.
Glad you like them!
Comprehensive video on this subject very well explained and stage by stage details were much important
Glad you think so!
Hey! Love this and I cannot wait to watch more. I have a question. Was this done as a way to explain your operations or as part of a grant proposal for farm/ranch subsidaries? Because girl y'all nailed it! Down to naming the you schooners! I can't wait to watch with my kids.
Hi, Elizabeth. Thanks for watching! The video was done simply as a project to help educate small holder farmers on the regenerative agriculture practices used at Heifer Ranch in Perryville, AR that is run by our team at Heifer USA. As a part of Heifer International, we are a non-profit organization dedicated to helping small-holder farms across the globe reach sustainable and living incomes. We use Heifer Ranch as a living classroom to help train the next generation of farmers in the United States and supply healthy proteins and specialty crops to consumers.
What an amazingly perfect video for understating lots and lots of poultry domains... Thank you very much for the great effort
Glad it was helpful!

Love love love your video and love your "cause" ^.^ May God bless you and your team!
Thank you! You too!
Awesome presentation by a very beautiful lady with her team. I wish I can intern with your company without pay. I'm here in LR.
You can! Check out the post in the community section on our YT page for links to apply for our residential volunteer or farm hand opportunities
So much different than the places that keep the chickens indoors all the time and give them a terrible life.
Good for you and hope it's profitable for you. You deserve it.
