- Our Dexter cattle make a lot of manure. A short thaw gives me an opportunity clean out the barn, and talk about how we take advantage of this great, stinky resource.

Anyone interested in farming need to see this video. it's not all hugs and cuddles with baby animals. I've been in bed all week sick with a cold. thank you for keeping me company thru your videos :)
Pete, Your farm videos are among the best. Nicely presented always interesting. Love your lifestyle and philosophy . Keep it up you will have your followers.
to all viewers .. let the ads play.. Pete gives us great content .. better than tv .. the guy is a rock star... let the ads play !!!!
I Love watching your videos Pete
I learnt so much from this video. Thanks Pete for giving us so information about farm life .
We have a Case 885 (David Brown), cute 3 cylinder diesel that runs like a champ. Does all of our loader work. Good tractor that’s good at its job!!! We were going to buy a 656 but got outbid, it worked out great in the long run, saved some serious money.
Sir: I'm looking for education rather than entertainment, so your thoughtful presentations are very welcome. In so many ways you are providing an excellent model for us all.
Love you guys 🙏🙏
I love that in a world where everything manages to get hate from someone, a video that is literally about poop hasn't gotten a single dislike. Lol.
Your videos are my education.
you're a great farmer and i am a dairy farmer and i have a 504 and 656 and a H and a 966 i don't have pigs or chickens
Hi Pete, love your stinky video.
Pete, I appreciate you informative videos. Thank you.
Another great video! If you ever get the chance, buy a set of tire chains for the loader tractor. You can pretty easily find used sets for around $300. You will be amazed at how much your traction increases in the ice and snow. Have a great day and keep the videos coming!😊
Thanks Dan! This winter has been terrible as far as ice goes. Looks like I'll be taking your advice.
3 years ago Pete but still Thumbs Up - Already Subscribed - Want to see you succeed - All the best. Oh and pls tell Ezra, Poker night tomorrow, same place, same time. Cheers
I could see you getting an old international skidsteer and fixing it up.
Hi Pete
Love the channel. I pick the coldest day when the ground is rock hard (poor man’s concrete) to clean pens. I’m OCD about mud and squishing my gravel away. It takes a lot of egg sales to pay for a tri-axel load of stone. Looks like you could use some ballast on your 3 point hitch to balance out the tractor and give that old girl a little more push. I’m a big fan of chains too for winter time work.
Hi Pete good job
i would use a backweight for the tractor as else the front axle has to much weight on it
The people here saying Pete needs a skid steer apparently don’t understand the enjoyment of driving/operating older equipment
You got it James. I would never own a skid steer.
Never a dull moment!
Aromatic!
Enjoying your videos Pete
Save your wood ashes for putting on the ice, it's cheaper than rock salt and gives you better traction.
I do the same, it works well.
That looks fun really
Love your videos. But you work so hard! How long do you plan on doing that?
In an ideal world you would have sliding walls (doors) in the rear wall. You could then open the doors and pile the manure behind the barn, by moving it out the back rather than having to trip it around the barn. Easy said than done !
i had to laugh...you shut and chained the gate while inside....then had to crawl over it to get out
I can smell this video.
Great content though!
Just my 2 cents here: Feed that hay in the winter out in your hay field. Your heard will reseed the field themselves and the manure stays out in the fields instead of piling up in the barn. Therefore that is 1 stinky chore every year eliminated :)
We have many reasons for feeding hay indoors, and for saving and composting the bedding pack. You can find those reasons in these videos: ruclips.net/video/ytgTcYoyC7E/видео.html

What I would do to have that amount of cow poo! I only have two cows but they provide the best fertiliser for the vegies hands down
You need a bobcat with tracks! Lol!
Very informative videos. Good presentation and not too long.
Thank you ISayFinn! Thanks for watching!
We live in city and have few chickens and10-20 rabbitts.i use alot of my poo in my garden but get to seek or trade to others for stuff that didn't grow well for me.new to your channel.nice getting to know you
I remember the dairy farm I worked on for a long time as a kid. There’s no way to make this nice, and easy. Thanks
That looks sooo deep. 🤩
Great video
A mess but required job. Pete would adding weight to the back of the tractor help the traction of the tires and also balance out that front heavy load??
Hi Larry, the tires are filled with liquid & there's 140 lb wheel weights on them, but more weight certainly wouldn't hurt!
I know you repurpose your manure by spreading it on your fields, but do you get enough that you could sell some of it for spring gardens in the area? It would take some effort to package for distribution and some advertising that may be to labor intensive to make it cost effective.
Any day on the farm is better than commuting and sitting at a desk! My thoughts...
Mine too Liz. I did that for 20 years.
Hello from Auburn New York
Good video
Wow 60 to 80 loads that's crazy, do you plan on upgrading to a bigger one or like the antique factor?
Hi Ben, I would like to get a larger spreader. I get sick of driving back & forth to the fields!
So is the pig aerator thing for VA subtopics then? I'm planning to add beef cows to my pastured chickens some time next year here near Moscow, Russia. Manure logistics is a primary concern.
Need a graple for it.
Yes a skid steer (Bobcat) would probably cut your time down. But equipment cost money. Do you have a money tree on your farm to shake.
A good used skidsteer sure would make that job easier.
what is the diffrt detween jearsy cows and hostein
You need ballast
all in a day's work eh?
Me again, I just subscribed after browsing your channel!
Why do you use a pitchfork instead of a shovel to scoop up the manure?
Thanks for subscribing Whitney! The manure is mixed with hay, and a fork is need to pull it apart.
He told me to commet
Well I work on a farm called sotckland's farm 5 days a week isped Sunday and Monday but the rest of the week with Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday

How do you deal with the flys. I know during winter there isn't much but what about the rest of the year?
Just a thought - what about talking about healthy cow pies?
Hi ZaneyMay, flies on the cattle are a big problem in the warm months, and I haven't come up with a good way to deal with them. We tried fly spray on the cattle but they run away when they see us with the bottle! I've thought about using the fly repellent ear tags, and the lick tubs that make the fly eggs sterile, but we haven't tried them yet. A video on healthy cow pies is a great idea; you can tell a lot from poop. I'll put that in the hopper.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm i had to look up lick tubs, never heard of them. Then I realized they are also called protein tubs.
Is there a good company to order these from? My good I mean safe, clean.
@@zaneymay I have not found an organic source for these. We use Fertrell brand organic supplements and our rep doesn't carry protein tubs. We resorted to using the ones from Tractor Supply. They're heavy; 200 lbs each, so online ordering would probably cost a fortune if you could find a "clean" source. But Fertrell has bagged protein supplement if your cattle need more protein. And how do you tell? By looking at their manure of course!
Dragonfly pins help keep flies/mosquitos off of people, not sure if theres a cow solution.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm have you looked into natural oils like peppermint or eucalyptus?
Scoop the poop 💩
Your sitting on some money if you sold some of that manure .
Great Job.
Woop Woop poop
How often do you clean the pens out?
3 or 4 times per winter
Slow tedious work for sure
✨⚡️😇
How do you manage keeping the odor down?
