A Late Summer Surprise on the Farm

Today we have received a late summer surprise on the farm! A Dexter calf was born well after our normal calving season has ended. Also today, we have to begin the monumental task of sorting our herd for cattle breeding season.
Note:
-We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors

I was proud to be a farmer's daughter! I asked my dad once why he wanted to be a farmer. He replied, "I guess dirt runs through my veins!" I admire your wife and her willingness to be right by your side during everyday as a busy farm wife! Thank you for sharing the very real challenge of farming and your possessing such an affinity for good humor! You have brought me many hours of precious memories! 👍😂🇺🇸💜

[@robertmoore6700]

Dear Pete and Hillary, congrats on the 175 (today it's 181000) no one deserves it more. You will reach 200,000 by the end of the year. Stay safe and keep them videos coming.

[@tomatoking8090]

Keep the humor coming Pete....I had to stop the video to type this...LOL...my daughter turned 9 today and has three friends over and had to go play that for them.

[@billyangelapressley]

Good morning Pete and Hillery. Hey Pete love the Boots.

[@lydialas8759]

@Hello Billy how are you doing

[@benchacon4983]

I got a 110 gallon water trough and it takes all I have to flip it over when it’s full. Takes too long to drain with 1/2 plug. Going to start using the bucket trick! Work smarter not harder! At 38 years old I ain’t getting no younger!!! Thanks Pete for the bucket tip!

[@1aPPro]

I had to stop the video and laugh. The look on your face after you got the baby into the crate and saw the poo was priceless.

[@Farm_fab]

Pete, at the Rough and Tumble flea market this year, I had a hand held cow bell with a handle I was selling, and some of those who enquired about the bell, I asked why cows typically wore bells. Most didn't know, but I told them that it's because their horns don't work...

As a young man I grew up on my uncles farm. We raised 1000 head of hogs a year, farrow to finish, and fed out the calves from 100 head of stock cows. It little poop on your sleeve was nothing to worry about.

[@allanjohnson2925]

Watching the layers scrambling to get out the hen house was a LOL moment even though I've seen it many times before. Interesting at the end of the video I could mentally recall the smells of my farm based childhood and I am 74 years old. The power of the human brain.

[@ChevyConQueso]

When Pete referred to the chicken houses as "clown cars" in another episode I got a good laugh. It's a very apt description seeing them bail out the door.

Congratulations Pete on a new calf and 175k! The farmer I work for made me into a hay-man Sunday. I was stacking, once he taught me how, one was driving the tractor and then helping the other once stopped to throw hay to me. He had already cut, dried, made windrows, and baled them. I wasn't counting, but we only needed 1 hay wagon to stack them in a modified pyramid. It was cool seeing how when properly staked, with each moving with those above, below, and horizontal, they moved together as the wagon responded to the terrain. He isn't feeding anything with them, just selling them when he sells his fall mums. Take care Pete

[@ponderosa6482]

Hi Pete, my husband has been watching your videos for awhile now and has gotten me started too. We have a small farm in Louisiana and today we sorted our calves and took them to the sale barn. It's been a busy couple of weeks, we baled hay (square bales) for our horse customers....not a dry thread on us! The humidity here is terrible!! By the way we use those beautiful GREEN tractors you love so much....haha. Love watching your videos and congrats on the 175k subscribers. Thanks for your concern for our great state. God Bless

[@drewwatkinson6604]

When I was youing we had 50 Golden Sexlinks. There was a little sliding overhead door at the top of the ramp and they would all come in for the night and get fed. We would lock them in and in the morning open the door and out they went for the day. I love the sight of all your chickens clamouring to get out the door in the morning. Hilarious !

We casterated our pigs when they about 2 weeks old. At that time they also got an iron shot, tails were clipped. The reason for clipping the tails, when they were shipped at 40 lbs on a crowed truck, they liked to chew on each other’s tail.

If your customers only had an inkling as to what goes behind growing that meat. To do it as well as you two do it you must have it in your DNA. Congratulations on reaching 175K subscribers. Cheers from OZ.

[@trevormerivale6882]

There are a few small time farmers around that do quality meat like on this farm, I know Braelands Beef and Lamb are very good and they are just beyond the metro regional border of Melbourne's Western Suburbs. You are 100% correct though, this guy is in the top section of animal husbandry and all round care for his meat. It's guys like this that really show many others that the meat industry doesn't have to be how it's often portrayed, and the more farms that operate like "just a few acres" the better quality meat and the happier the animals would be. If I was a meat cow I'd prefer to be on this farm, 1 bad day and every other day a good day is exactly how it should be. I can't praise this guy enough!!!

[@robs7640]

I suppose most of their customers are aware of this KZbin channel? They see and taste the difference and Pete does talk about the differences between his meat products and supermarket meat products. Pete also had shown actual cuts of different meat products.

[@Luckingsworth]

He sells out almost daily at market and even with his higher prices has more demand than he can supply at this point. I think its clear his customers in fact do have an inkling what goes into growing good quality meat.
