- We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas day! As most of you know, farming is a 24/7/365 schedule. The animals don't take holidays, and that means we don't either, but we are able to spend some time as a family enjoying food, laughter, gifts, and games.
Thanks to all that sent us cards, letters and gifts this Christmas!! I loved hearing from all of you!
Thanks for watching!

Your Angel is with you every day, you are & should be greatful, you're a lucky man with a great family I hope 2025 is kind to all us farmers 🐄🐑🚜🇬🇧🇺🇸
Kevin your “Angel” shows up every night, you are lucky to have her assisting you through thick and thin! That food spread looked delicious, great job Rhonda!
God Bless the farmers and ranchers of the world!
And their families!
I like this families mechanical ingenuity. I love people who make things.
Kevin is my kind of guy. We built or modified everything we could to save money. Plus we really enjoyed the process.
Love Kevin’s comments about we farmers. Livestock farmers have morning and evening chores every day. We don’t get days off or sick days.
That is the way we were taught from our parents and that is the way of life we love. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
My hat is off to you as parents and as a family!!! You and Kevin have instilled a work ethic in every one of your children. More than that, you have calmly shown them that there are always solutions to everyday problems. They can and will succeed, no matter what life hands them!
As an old retired farm kid, seeing calves and cows in a new pen kicking up their heals, never gets old! Thanks for sharing your farm and family with us. Happy Holidays to you all also.
I truly get you!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! Wishing you a safe and prosperous 2025! Dang what a spread😋 Be well!
Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you as well!!!
Thank you for sharing your Christmas with us. There are those of us who have no family near enough to be with family this time of year. Thank you.
We appreciate you watching!
Happy new year acres of clay family. Wishing you a blessed and prosperous 2025.
Happy New Year to you, too!
Good morning,family. I hope you guys had a great Christmas,and I hope you'll have a great new year.
Building and installing the large shed door was totally BRILLIANT!! Have a blessed New Year energetic farm family 🎉🎉
Kevin, your angel is married to you. Happy New Year
😇😆
Another very interesting video Thank you and God bless you and your family 😊😊😊😊😊
Just keep watching the older videos, hope it helps if they are having financial problems. People like these are the backbone of America,
Thanks!
Good morning Acres of Clay family, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I would just like to take the time to thank you for continuing to invite us into your home and family life. So few holidays encompass Faith, Family, Friends and Fellowship, and yet you show us these qualities week in and week out year after year. You give all of us a gift to look forward to every Sunday, so Thank You! and may God’s grace continue to shine on your family and farm.
Thank you for your kind words! I hope you enjoyed the time with your family!!
Ronda. Those calf’s prancing around in the fresh new hay is like children on a Christmas morning going through all the presents under the Christmas tree. They are so adorable and funny ❤❤😊
I received my Christmas card from you guys and it really made my day. Keep up the great videos. Thank you all.
The new shop is looking great. Sidney is so smart and Kevin too. Rhonda the house looks nice and the Christmas spread wow. Happy New Year everyone 🎉
Happy New Year to everyone at Acres Of Clay.🎊🥳
Love the simple explaination why Christmas was in the afternoon. Morning chores in the morning and night chores at night. Kind of frustrating how many people don't understand that farming is a job you do all the time, local farmer up here in Maine got a plaque from the state recognizing his accomplishment of milking cows every Christmas for 60 years in a row. On the one hand it's nice that the state recognized this, on the other it's kinda frustrating because I think the attitude of needing a plaque for that shows how out of touch average people are with what goes on everyday on a farm. My father is 77 and this was the first Christmas in over 60 years he didn't milk cows because the co-op we belonged to told us to our face not to build a new barn for our 80 cow farm and modernize so we could keep going because they didn't think there would be a market for milk from small farms long enough for us to pay for the barn. Farming is in a sorry state in this country, people don't want to see 10k+ cow farms but they also won't pay the $6 a gallon for milk that small farms need to survive. Keep up the good work all of you, I used to be able to say there are fewer and fewer of us out there and we need to stick together but now I just say there's fewer of you left and y'all are the unsung heros of this country.
I know exactly what you mean. It's hard to be a small farm in this environment.
You're really making good progress on the shop. Can't wait to see you use it.
Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Merry Christmas and happy new year.
That is crazy how they put those eggs. Happy New Year to you and the family. Nice shop.
I was kind of surprised that the chickens would lay any eggs in the short days and harsh cold! Rhonda and the calves are so adorable ! Kevin smiling while working !
What a great MAN ! Best New Years wishes to the whole Family !
I definitely don't get as many eggs in the winter months.
Merry Christmas to you and family, plus Acres of Clay Farm 🥶🥶💯💯💯☃️☃️☃️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄. Farmers are the best, like how Kevin explains everything.
I believe the Angles appear on your farm daily. The work always gets done by them. Merry Christmas and may the new year bring prosperity to this family!
Happy new year everyone
I managed a farrow to finish hog operation years ago and miss those crisp cold mornings on the farm. Blessings to you all.
There's just something about that crisp air. Especially if there's no wind. 😊
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 and happy new year 🎈🎆🎊
Same to you!
Looks like an awesome feast merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎁🎄🌠🙏🇺🇸
Have a happy New years to your family
Ronda, that Buffet Table of food looks so delicious absolutely yummy for the tummy 😊
The cow was cute sticking her head through the curtain. Some nice gifts and food, Kevin and you sons are just awesome with the work their doing on the workshop. The calves are always adorable, love seeing them jumping on the new bedding. Sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year.
Thank you so much!
The new shop looks great
Thank you for covering all you and the family do, especially letting the calves into new bedding! That is another example of JOY!
Happy New Year to you and the family🎉🐣🍷👋😊
Kevin you don't need an angel to appear to you as you have one called ronda .happy new to you and all the family
Great video, lovely Christmas scene, there Happy new year
When our caves got to be so old I never had to shake up or spread a bale of straw. All nine spring calves would torment the bale with their heads and their kicking feet flying. It was nice of them to help spread the straw around evenly. Thanks for showing your part. Enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas family. That table looked awesome!
The shop door ought to be a split door like airplane hanger doors. So when the wind blows really hard, there is less wind resistance.
Its only 24 ft wide.
A person thinks they think of everything and then someone has a better idea. That would be split in the centre horizontal like a hinge right? Then the lift would be straight up and way less leverage weight etc. Too late now but that seems like it would be better but also not as cool as this door. Also, the door could likely be opened much faster and less likely to hit something parked outside the door. I rented a house with the old style flip in/out solid door and it was shredded because it opened into a car. (It wasn't me.)
@@underwaterdroneservices7292 Bifold doors were popular at one time, but the hydraulic doors have pretty much taken a large percentage of the market in new construction. Powerlift alone has sold over 11,000 hydraulic doors since the company started in 1992. Bifolds still have their place, especially if there's clearance issues, building close to street, electric lines etc
🙂🎆🎇 Happy New Year😊
Good morning hope you all have a good day
You too! 😊
Merry Christmas and happy 2025
From Missouri the weather here has been in the 50s and sometimes hit 60 next week is going to get cold but not as bad
Happy New Year to everyone.
Love watching the videos and how all the family works together. l want to wish all a Happy New Year,and everyone to be safe 🎉💥🎆🇺🇸
Thanks so much! Same to you!!
merry christmas to you and your family.
Merry Xmas to you and your family's
The new shop is absolutely perfect. The guys have done a great job building that especially on the hydraulic door opener. The home is so nicely decorated Ronda.
Everything Ok there? I'm lost without a new video!
Been wondering the same thing! Was looking for video of progress on the new shop.
Those baby cows are too sweet 🥹
I know! They are so cute.
I always enjoy watching your videos
Merry Christmas!
*We're so glad to hear that you and your family had a very Merry Christmas.*

AWESOME FOOD!....Merry Christmas
Happy Sunday, Rhonda! And merry belated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💙💙💙💙💙❄🎄🌷💖💖💖💖💖💖🎄❄⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍.
Growing up on the farm (Dairy and Beef cattle), I never fully understood about people having weekends and holidays off, because we had to work every day with no days off. Then, when I turned 18 and got out into the world and started working another job, I learned more about how the non-farming aspect worked. The light bulb went on, and I truly understood how farmers have to work every day to take care of their herds and equipment. I received your Christmas card and newsletter. Thank You. That was the first time I heard about you having a grandson. (Congratulations!!!) Hope we get to see him sometime soon. Looks like you had a nice feast for Christmas. Loved seeing the calves and their zoomies in the new bedding. Have a Happy New Year!!!
Thanks so much!
Thank you all for the videos throughout 2024.....I hope youve a happy New Year when it comes...looking forward to seeing you on2025...stay safe
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Shop is really looking good. I miss growing up on a dairy farm this time of year, raw milk always made the best oyster stew
You got that right! 👍👍
Oyster stew? ingredients? happy new year to all.
Rhonda you are so amazing!!! Your Christmas meal looked so delicious and awesome!!
Happy New Year to you and yours 🎉
Happy New Year to you, too!
Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪 happy Christmas enjoy your videos
Happy Holidays to you all😊
Great video Rhonda. Looks like y'all had a Merry Christmas and wishing you a Happy New Year
Thank you! You too!
👍
God bless the farmers , if it wasn't for you and all the farmers we wouldn't eat or drink heathly
Happy New Year to you all
THANKS!
I don't have any kittens so I want all those calves as pets in my house. They're so cute.
Lol. They'd be spoiled if they got to live in the house. 😄
I always enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing
I appreciate that!
Happy New Year Ronda and family.
Nothing like milking and feeding on Christmas Eve/Day. I swear the cows were more serene and easier to work with. Can't say the same for silo unloaders...😂😂
Merry Christmas safe new Year

I like the shop videos very well done
Thanks
Happy holidays to the family, may the new year fill you with happiness, new adventures, & new opportunities. Always looking forward to your content. :)
Thanks, you too! We are looking forward to the new year as well!
Putting Quick-Connect hydraulic fittings on the outside and the inside of the garage door for emergency access is very smart ahead planning!
I’m coming to your house for Christmas next year what a nice meal
😄
Food spread looks yummy
I like the way that door works. Building pressure acts as a nice soft start. When you get ready for the next big door, let me know. I have hydraulic pump out of a compactor just like that one for you.
feliz navidad para todos,y un prospero ano nuevo!!!! Jorge.
Love the video guys much love and respect thanks for sharing ❤❤❤
👍🎉 Congratulations 🎊 on getting the Door all Dialed in 😂 good job 👍
hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
We did!
Great Family and Great Parents!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!😇!👍
Merry belated Christmas 🎄 I love all your videos and your family ❤ I often wonder if I would make a good farmer...probably not, I don't like waking up early! 😅
too cute
Hi Rhonda 👋
👋
Well…technically, if the fitting between the pressure valve and the cylinder blew out, the hydraulic oil would leak out of the cylinder letting the door down.
The lock valves are on the cylinders. They need full pressure applied to open. If the cylinders cant push oil out they cant go down. My Powerlift door just has restrictors at the cylinder ports so if something blew they would lower slowly. Lock valve cylinders is a good idea.
I have been Mowing lawns all day
Really!?
Merry Christmas..... 🌲
Beautiful spread for dinner. No one left hungry, that's for sure.
We don't take our decorations down until Epiphany, January 6th
Great video!
Thanks!
