A donkey would help with the coyotes. They are great guardians.
I second this. They're also just really great animals and can be very friendly. I'm sure the kids would love a donkey.
I have a two year old donkey and last month a pack of coyote got my goat Molly and she tries to kick the horses
Llamas know not be good as well! Great suggestion!
Negatives, donkeys are hay burners and most will also stomp all dogs. Would be awful if Teddy or the LGD got killed by it, our Best Friens have had a donkey for 15 years as a pet and he knows all their dogs but will still go after to stomp and kill them...not to mention, having to move a donkey around would be a hassel.
I agree! My vote is for a donkey!!!
I'm starting to think this channel should be renamed "Mr. Brown! Where are your shoes?" 😄😉
I totally agree everyday he says it lol
😂😄 one of the reasons i started watching these vlogs. Mr. Brown is awesome!
I totally agree
Lol
😆
Gideon is like a sponge, soaking in all of that knowledge 💕
I really appreciate this series of videos. Our family is under contract on a vacant 10 acre lot.
#Congratulations
Great episode! This couple provided plenty of food for thought!
A miniature donkey is just Gideon's size....they are great watch dogs...a little Nepolitanistic they belive size is a figment of your imagination....and cuteness over flow...easy keepers..not really requiring any extra, easily over fed.....a bit noisy...but you learn to listen, they usually have a good reason...announcing something different going on....a visitor arriving a preditor near ect. Much like a goose, or a barking dog... Pick out a pre-gentled one for kids, that will allow their feet picked up, lead ect. No bite... be picky...it could be like winnie as a gaurdian. They can be like a big dog as a pet...cheap at the auction...if he wants a donkey he may Love a miniature one. They are easy keepers. I don't recommend riding right off....they could run off with them. It depends on how trained they are. But they can be trained to pull a cart ect...
If one gets an animal such as a horse, donkey etc. that are actually expensive pets, one must be dedicated to caring for it for it's lifetime. Not get it on a whim without the dedication to keeping and treating it properly. The get and then get rid of once one tires of it is ridiculous and not a behavior that is in the best interest of the animal. . JGiles
It's a great lesson for kids to have responsibility for something they wanted....but also re-homing a miniature donkey can be the best thing that happened to the donkey...So it need not be a lifetime commitment if the children out grow him, however he is still useful as a guard donkey...Many times it is an up grade from their last home, and a joy to his next owner....We got one from the auction, and he was perfectly happy to take on his new home with gusto, and was always a joy. You can learn a lot from a self sufficient, fearless, miniature donkey...just take life one day at a time, look for the next best thing, and warn others of danger. Lessons from Cecil.
They are right. 5-10 acres really is a sweet spot.
We have 20, and we’re comfortably using 15.
The back 5ish acres is all coastal. Produces aprox 130 large round bales(not sprayed) a year (3 cuttings). We’ve been able to use bales to build our animal herd by trading, etc. And small profit and plenty of hay for our Florida “winter”.
The mid section has our home and it’s completely surrounded by 1.5acre fenced rotational paddocks.
Front 5 acres we haven’t yet touched although it is cleared. We just ordered 2000ft of polywire to extend rotation Al grazing up front.
I can count on two hands how many trees our entire 20 acres has, including citrus, avacado, etc.
One thing, I wish we had chicken tractors.
Wow! The blessings. #Yes That sounds so wonderful, but, also alot of work. Are you a creator? Do you have a channel? If so, drop your link, please 🙏🏿. I hope you get that chicken tractor, soon. #Keepupthegreatwork
Alder Farms have donkeys, they are like guard dogs and keep the animals safe too! They would be a big help to Winnie!
That pack out coyote are dangerous, they killed our dog, scary 😟 ❤
When I hear coyotes when I'm putting the animals away at night I try to get our cat inside because they like to eat cats too.
you just had the equine talk days ago with Lilly and you were like no because it would have a mind of its own but the minute gidien asks you first response was are you going to ride it she asked for one for her birthday gave her chickens next time gave her rabbits next time lambs the boys ask you get them things that don't get put in the freezers bikes mountain boards 4 wheelers dirt bikes tools
She get asked a lot from her father and does it with little complaining. She should be rewarded just as the boys seem to continually be given the things they ask for. Don't treat her differently if you are asking them all to do the same work. JGiles
One of the reasons I subscribed to this channel is that I realized that it provides access to a community of active "homesteading" farms. It helped me to define homesteading as a biopartnership of symbiotic relationships between land, animals, and humans. The goals while looking for land is to envision the possible equations/balances that are available to begin with and how they can develop.
The experiences of the community help define this in actions that can produce the best results.
Just random, rambling thoughts.
Very well said!
A question about pasture grade and livestock. Would smaller breeds such as the Dexter and others be better for such challenging pastures?
That’s actually why Sean and Beth breed their jerseys with Dexter. So they have cows with a lower center of gravity that can get around better on the steeper grade.
Hey Justin, you’re close to 1,000,000 subscribers ✊🏾
I have so much respect for you Justin... the fact that you are so eager to learn and share what you learn... one of the many reasons I love your channel! P.s.... nice one Gideon!... Totally get a donkey!!!! 😄
ARMS FAMILY HOMESTEAD, everything you want to know about pros and cons of DONKEYS
CONGRATS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 YOU HAVE BEEN PICKED AMONGST MY WINNER'S DM THE NUMBER ABOVE 🎁🎁💯🎁💯
I currently have 100acres and want to move down to 10 acres and good to hear that I can still keep some of every animal I already have if I managed the pasture rotations well. I'll have to cut down o numbers but I can deal with that.
You messed up on the title for you know
Really like your family work from home videos really aspiring thankyou for the great content
Wow!!! That lady is in great shape!!! That's awesome!!💯💥👍
You need a shoe tree/box just for Gideon and you should get him to return his shoes back to it each night. Also you should buy him a second pair of shoes 1/4 in to big to keep back for emergencies like going to the airport and when he reaches that size buy him another new one 1/4 in long.❤❤❤❤
They have a dedicated spot for his shoes for years. He just won't do it.
We had donkeys out with our cows to keep away predators. We had one that alerted to cougars and coyotes.
This must be the Justin Rhodes You Tube Channel, "Mr. Brown, where are your shoes?" I'm so glad he found it and you got to the flight. Gideon looked happy to be in the airplane. Wow, these Doughertys are wonderful. Amazing what they can do with any property. I love how they can use the steep pastures too. The beets and turnips for fodder is a great idea. You got a good tip Justin, let the cows have access to the woods too. I am so impressed by this couple. We have almost 10 acres and it's good to hear that that size is a good one. Nice pig set-up and the waterers for the cows are great. It's so cute how Gideon wants a donkey and some ducks now. Wow, wood fired pizza! You guys are eating good! Thanks for this great video.
Nicely said.
I loved this whole thing. So useful. Thanks for sharing!
Be quiet and attentive until called upon.

Mr Brown, suggest to papa to fence off an area with a creek for Ducks. Cattle panels at the entrance/exit of the creek and you can move them up and down the creek. It keeps relatively clean being free flowing water!
Make sure the duck creek does not flow into your pond or water source for other animals. Ducks love to dabble in water and prefer shallows, with green shoots to nibble. They really do not need a big pond. A tiny creek to drink from and explore with fresh running water, is better than an 8' dug out pond that quickly turns to polluted mud and green water. Or you can set up a rain gutter system for them to dring from that flushes itself off the roof of their shed....or... Moving them often helps....consider an easy fencing system. A shelter with fresh straw for protection from cold and storms...(varmet proof) that is secure and you can lock them up at night. It only needs to be duck tall with room to move but snuggle together to keep warm..I had one 8 ft. Long by 2 ft. Wide by 20 inches tall raised with 1 brick hieght. To lift off ground......with air gaps across front where the doors across the front were hinged to drop down for ramps to go in and out....the entire front had these doors so you could drop 1 or 2 or all of them to clean out...replace straw often or at least add a dry layer each night.... empty often...they were happy to go in at night. They did not have water inside but were put in at dusk and let out early...during nesting season you can section off with dividers to make nest boxes.
Really enjoyed the couple. I could listen to them all day. Just so very kind and patient
I love Shawn & Beth Dougherty, thank you for sharing!
It seems like a gravity powered water Ram pump would work great to help solve water delivery solutions
A ram pump is what we use on the Sister's property and it works great.
Yes! That's right! Donkey's do ward off coyotes. We have a white donkey named Valentine and he has kept the coyotes off of 25 acres of pasture for more than 10 years now. We love our Valentine! Some days he's snow white, and other days he's Cleveland County NC Red Mud! He loves to roll in the very red mud dust!🤣🤣❤😊
Donkeys are not an impulse purchase. They have instinctual hostility towards canines, dogs included. They can also harm other animals if not socialized properly, and males are a generally no go.
Donkeys would help keep the coyotes away. .
She is quite the strong character.
Yes, she really knows her stuff. I would love to work with her for a week and sponge in all her knowledge.
Loved the opening i interview, what a BIG SERVING but the RIGHT portion of words to describe a farm.
Wow look at the colour of the trees. Just wonderful. Thanks for taking us along. Margaret in Cyprus
The questions you ask and hypothesize solutions for everday problems are so insightful. To glean from others understanding is wisdom that is priceless. Iron sharpens iron...
TRUTH!!!
Glad to hear you talking about your land . It is a joy to see you build your homestead better and better every day . Can't wait to see your next improvement .
Hey Gang, Great Posting Justin 👍❤
God's Good Blessings to you and your beautiful family keep up the great work love U guys XOXOXO stay safe and healthy and safe
cow and goat eat turnips
Hello goodmorning po...from here in the Philippines😍
We learned so much from today’s episode. Fantastic!
Notice roosts for chickens. Might try for your chickens? Might reduce the messy eggs.
In the future, the best man for Gideon's wedding,will no doubt be looking for the grooms shoes, on his big day!

Is it even a real JR video if someone hasn't lost their shoes?!
BTW JUSTIN, YOU HAVE THIS TITLED WRONG. 😊✌
It's so cool to hear Giden talk to you with confidence about how the animals will work on your farm. It shows how much they learn on your farm.
I think too with confidence because they feel heard and know their opinions are respected and digified.
Great job my friend!
Agreed on the donkey, great guardians!
Justin when my kids were little I had them to there shoes & cloths ready for morning, the night before bed, pick up there!
stuff put it away & pick everything to straighten up, this only took a few
Minutes, be read for the next day, morning were much easier on mom to, easier to start her day. This may be a big help💜🔹❣️
Like they haven't thought of that.
These folks got it goin' on. They really "get" their land and livestock, and are using it to maximum capacity.
Thanks for sharing this was pretty cool! Safe Travels you too 🤗❤👍
that's a beautiful pizza
A donkey would help with coyotes but also would chase Winnie until trained not to...could also move the milking booth, mow pastures, pack Gideon & Lilly, and be a lovey jokester!
Cows only stay when they want what's there for forage. My mom has two cows that walk over and crush fences; she won't let me butcher them and we are fixing fence ALL THE TIME if they don't want the greenery available to them.
Thank you for taking us along on your journeys. Many of us are trying to become better stewards of the land and your videos help lead the way. We just purchased 10 acres and a 100+ year old farmhouse and we're newbies ~ standing on our land wondering where to start. We sincerely appreciate you taking us to the Doughtery's, and giving us a glimpse behind the scenes. Enjoying your {Rooted Life} book ~ keep on writing! "Dennise"
not sure if this is legit, yet checked number online ... and received another text ... so ... at the end of the day, my trust meter is going off. 😀
Mister Brown lost his shoe oh no😃!
I love seeing your videos. Thank you
Your son reminds me of me when I was his age. Ha ha! I wanted all kinds of animals too. Unfortunately, we lived in a neighborhood and my parents did not want any animals. Fortunately, we get to grow up and create a different lifestyle for ourselves. Remind him that he is fortunate that his family has a lot of animals already. But heck, one more cant hurt, right? Ha ha!
Her voice reminds me of Barbara Damrosch from Growing Naturally with Elliot Coleman
SOME donkeys can alert farmers about interlopers. That coyote crew howling by the sheep herd raised the hair on my back & arms. Do you remember the Mules that the man in New England had, who fed his chickens with that huge mound of what? He said they were very old, special breed. Did he say they were capable of protecting the farm animals? what else can a donkey do to be useful on a farm?
I wish i could afford to buy a couple acres where i live. I wonder how prices look in America, i live in canada and it's extremely expensive..
The subtitles / closed captions does not work and we really needed it tonight. There are people who have hearing problems who want to watch the videos.
That is RUclips that creates the subtitles. It usually takes them a bit of time. Try coming back in a little while. 😊✌👍
so all she feeds her chickens are fermented milk and wheat? no vitamin suppliments? what type of wheat, is it red or white, soft, hard etc. I have learned so so much from your videos.Thank you for all your hard work in educating the rest of us noobs.
Gideon! Put a duck🦆🦆🦆 puddle high up in the land and use the water (fertigation) for garden or animal crop garden further down below.
I have property exactly like that 30 degree to 55-60 degree-have your boots, heavy weight pants and leather gloves on if you want to traverse to the bottoms and be able to get back up
11/100 days, not 11/11, right?
Did he say they have ELEVEN children?!? I'm sure I misheard that.
What does that mean, “when there’s snow, they have all the water they need,” forgive my ignorance. Will cows eat snow?
Maybe if Mr Brown makes a little pond that has a drain running under it that he can open up and clean out a bit, then close up and refill, little like the one he was looking at he could make it work . maybe also a few gardens near by so he can let ducks into gardens as they are harvested. just some ideas
This is wonderful !! What state is this. What a beautiful way to live life! God’s blessings
Oh my!!! Shoe hunt is on again!
It’s about time. Been waiting for hours
I want to hear what each person is saying in this video. Beth talks over others quite a bit. It's great to see the hillier part of Ohio.
Mr. Brown looking for his shoes??
How unlike him. LOL 😁 Have fun

HEY.. New Story book..
Mr. Brown and his donkey
Some of those pastures seem super steep, dont think I would pasture on those steeper pastures unless I absolutely needed too haha
Very impressive farm 😊
Great schooling for your son to be with dad and learn homesteading.
The Swiss farmer grazes his cattle on much steeper mountains
ouch the music being loud after the whispering in the start
Flying out of Asheville is a joke, they only fly to Charlotte
She talks too much and doesn't really say anything
Interesting thanks for video
Why build a pond? Get a pair of beavers.
Goals are good climbing steep terrain
A donkey will certainly protest whatever it bonds to...like a livestock guardian dog...you won't have to worry about those pesky coyotes. Mr Brown needs a donkey!!
This is all SOOO interesting! : )
I love how passionate the love for ur land is!! 🥰
Just bury me on it he says…
Strangely beautiful 💕💕
Love u guys! 💯
Snow is not an equal substitute for water.
Wow she talks over everyone so much it's difficult to hear and listen.
It's all three of them... I think they are just excited and have much to add to the conversation. just listen for a moment at this time stamp 20:38
We have Long horns and they have got down going down hill and can't get back up. This is not the right land for that kind of Cow. People don't think about it when they bring into this mountain area. We got off someone else. We didn't bring here. They need be out west. They like brush better than grazing grass. By the way it's strange we call a brush hog a bush hog machine. Just area we are from. You live two states down from us
32:12 Get that kid some ducks!
Donkeys are great herd protectors.
My son HATES SHOES AND SOCKS
Inspiring to see how you can use any area as an opportunity to raise animals
you can cook meats in these ovens too...
Mule for kids..
