A Snowstorm on the Farm

After a two day snowstorm, it's time to dig out. The driveways need to be plowed and the cattle need fresh bedding and hay. Plus, today is the start of a new attempt at getting the pigs bred.

As my mom used to say, this is the (10th, 11th, 12th, etc.) anniversary of my 32nd birthday! Happy Birthday!

[@FarmallFanatic]

She may not be 32, but she's younger than me 😁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

I know you kind of chuckle and shake your head at our interest in “boring” everyday farm jobs. But it’s due to your humor, intelligence, and laid back style that you and Hilary give us a trickle of sanity to slake our thirst for an escape from the craziness of this world. Never fear that we will get bored.

[@Catching_Ozarks]

Watching Pete’s is like sitting in the shop talking with grandpa

[@brucehobbs1734]

Or a good brother.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILLARY 🎉🎉 muffler….exhausted😆😆😆

[@daymoonfarm2903]

🎉Happy Birthday, Hillary!!!🎉 Pete, you could never scare me away from this channel, not even with your jokes!😂

[@ricksheafer528]

Happy birthday Hillary. I simply love you guys. I’m really impressed by Pete’s speaking skills, he’s a natural narrator. I watch every episode you post Pete. You’re the first video I look for each morning when I get up.

[@johnr3603]

He could teach small farm operations,marketing at ANY community college $$.

[@Lafayettelyle]

" I'll be right back cause I got to dispose of this in a responsible fashion" gave me my best belly laugh of the evening.

[@Thomas-zu4ci]

Happy birthday Hilary, place just looks beautiful covered in snow this time of year wish everyone a great winter. Thank you guys as always for sharing with this video ❤❤❤❤

[@tracyzabelle]

Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎉

[@Marionpm1]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HILLARY 🎉🎉🎉. YOUR a Capricorn . 😊 Blessings 🙌 ❤.

[@andrewmellon5072]

My wife's favourite age was 32. That was in 1973, even now she doesn't look a day over 70! Happy birthday.

[@fallingzeppelin69]

Good ol’ hard work, vintage farm equipment, and terrible dad jokes… what’s not to like? Thanks Pete.

[@joshk.6246]

Congratulations Hilarie on being the big 32 again 😀. I think its funny you got your own Boss hog. Don't hold it against the Super A, I know in the winter I'm a hard starter and can sympathize with it.

[@Valar86]

Happy happy happy birthday to Hillary! When you said “let me dispose of this responsibly” I laughed so hard.

[@MrSchwach]

Thanks for another great video. Loved the time lapse of the cows at the end.

[@geraldjanesak5171]

Gotta say I enjoyed it as well, like watching gold fish in a fish tank. Relaxing.. And a very Happy Birthday to you Hillary, many more, Pete, God bless you family and farm

[@micktimoney1480]

Hey Pete that muffler joke had me baffled...😂 Happy Birthday Hilary🎉

[@burtoncummins8970]

Happy Birthday Hilary. You all stay safe and warm prayers for your family and all the animals

[@stanleygallman7800]

Hang in there Pete and Hillary these 80 days or so will have passed before we know it. Happy birthday 🎈🎂

Farmers the backbone of America

[@allanulen3809]

My wife likes to say 21 plus shipping and handling. Happy birthday Hilary.

[@mlr145]

Love your videos. Gives these of us that will never experience the farm life. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. ❤ ❤❤

[@markvittorini5497]

Boss was thinkin' Hay! There's no food in the wood chips!

[@e1ucas]

Pete, you do a masterful job of plowing snow one-handed. 😄

[@kathm6521]

Happy Birthday Hillary, love live cam ...slow it down a little.. live cams are great for people that can't hit the channel button. Cable shuts off the TV. If no one hits volume button. If someone is disabled, they can't hit that button..live cams make people more peaceful..they might have worked on a farm .remember their younger years. Most of the time you can only find ocean noise to sleep with for 8 hrs. Thanks Again

[@Hunleygarage]

I know doing everything on the farm probably takes most of the day - but doing everything and then filming has to take all day. For that I say thank you, it’s appreciated. You bring great perspective from all the different shots, and the sound is always kept at a good level. It’s a pain - but you always do it - thank you.

[@twistedtimber3129]

Disposed of in a responsible fashion….. hahaha! Perfect !

[@jdschini]

I love it! It is just like Patty to take a quick taste of the new bedding on her way to the hay bunk.😂 She is inspecting it to make sure you didn’t get the two confused! Happy 32nd Birthday Hillarie!🎶🎂

[@rickwhiterock2681]

Happy Birthday Hilary aka Jack Benny, you always be 32. Have a great Birthday.

[@algomaspur]

Love the cow cam!

[@maryrinehart2346]

Happy birthday Hillary! Pick whatever year you want! I tell people unless I’m getting a discount my age doesn’t matter. Enjoy your day!

[@dixiehulings9082]

Hilary you are a inspiration to women. Happy Birthday and wishing you many more.

[@adeeponionbrah]

Excellent time lapse of the peaceful comfort time for the Dexters. They feel safe.

[@johncourtneidge]

All highly agreeable, thank-you! Playin' in the snow, finding that bolt! And Happy Birthday Hillery! 32! Whoda thunk it! Love to all, in All!

[@L.S.-wq8ps]

"I don't think she's quite ready, Billy." "Dude! I gotta CHECK!!! Your math might be wrong!" :) I'm happy for you that you got enough snow to be pretty, but not so much to be problematic.

[@normawright292]

Happy Birthday Hillarie! And happy cows...they know the drill. Here's hoping we have little piglets soon, I love to see them. Thanks for another great video - we'll see you again soon.

[@LivinInSim]

Yep, as soon as you asked what could possibly be done with six inches on the ground, I started humming the Wagner. It is the only thing majestic enough to accompany the valiant work of the little tractor. What a stroke of luck to find that bolt. Sounds like Hilarie had a lovely birthday with peaceful snow, special lunch, and satisfying chores. Many happy returns of the 32nd, which does seem to return about this time every year. I loved to hear the sound of the cows munching away on their supper when we turned out the lights in the barn of a winter night. Sometimes when I crawled into bed I would think about them out there, snuggled into their beds in the cozy darkness. Much better than counting sheep. Billy Boy, cross fingers, say a spell, and knock wood, the future of hogs on these Few Acres is up to you, go with God, my man, go with God....

[@autodidactin]

Happy Birthday Hilarie! Pete, I love the way “The Flight of the Valkyries” always signals something epic! 😂

[@tonylopez6213]

I know that pigs are not profitable in a farmers market but it is my opinion that they are an integral part of your YT channel business. Please keep them!

[@williamrichardson3993]

Is it possible to compare notes with the other pork sellers? Perhaps you could buy grain together and realize some economies of scale to reduce costs.

[@trigonx1]

Crossing my fingers for Billy and the sows, love seeing piglets running around.

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay pete nothings better than to get up in the morning and enjoying a cup of coffee over a great video of just a few acres farm thank you for making my mornings joyful herd looks great hopefully good ol Billy does his job cuss you do an amazing job raising your pigs hate to see you get out of the pig business cus you do so good with them great to see you and your wife always working together blessings to you and your family thank you for sharing

[@zackbundy8097]

Mr pete that upper barn I think you call it is a cattle paradise, sure genius not haven to deal with slop feeding and watering glad its working for you

[@jimlong527]

Happy Birthday Hilary may you be blessed with good health. Thank you for sharing your birthday and life with us.

[@GaryHeald-uv5im]

I used to plow my road with a Farmall Super C. Nothing more pleasant than going under a snow filled tree banch and have it fall down your neck. Also setting your butt down a frozen metal seat made sure you were awake. Good ol' days. I really like my pickup for plowing these days.

[@Dave52732]

Wishing Hillary a belated Happy Birthday!! I love spending time with you two on the channel!

[@1927su]

I love seeing /hearing the cattle “Approval Moo Choir” come on back inside and appreciate their feed aplenty & fresh bedding!! 😊

[@carlwilson7383]

Happy 32nd Birthday Hillary. You don't look a day over 30!❤ Love seeing you guys each week.

[@jaybreeden8388]

Happy Birthday Hillary! The most beautiful upstate NY dexter cattle farmers wife that I know of! 😊 You and Pete are a match made in Heaven. ❤ Have a great 32nd year...again!

[@johndernberger1961]

Brings back a lot of memories. Spent many hours on a cub plowing snow around town when I was young. 😊. Love the Cow cam endings.

[@JohnDunne001]

JaFAF & Snow - 2 of my most favourite things in one! Happy birthday Hillary!

[@HawkStorm87]

Happy birthday Hillary 💐🥂. I have come to miss the farm updates no matter the video. Thank you both for sharing your lives with us and God bless you❤🙏🏽.

[@annalorree]

Billy seems far more enthusiastic about his task than Bossy, pretty typical. 😂

[@rodroper211]

there are many homesteaders, farmstedders and farmers could learn a thing or two from your animal husbandry and calm demeanor . it's a pleasure to watch both go about your business.

[@dirtroadfarm.4024]

Happy birthday Hilary. In Nova Scotia were getting a mess too. Slushy snow and freezing rain.

[@cekfraun]

Thanks, Pete! I love watching the cows all settle in for a nap on the new bedding. And, Happy Birthday to Hillarie! My mom always said she was "39 and holding," even into her eighties, so you just keep on being 32 for as long as you want! 🥰🥳

[@marcus3457]

I have seen Pete do this a couple of times, and I think I must be misunderstanding what I am seeing. Is he putting new feed on top of old manure? Or is that more for bedding, with the intent to compost it over the winter?

[@camicri4263]

Happy birthday young lady! I wish you all the best, Hilary, especialy health and abundant blessings! Keep the beautiful smile! Many more along side your loved ones! Hugs and love! Pete, please give Hilary an extra hug from me! Thanks!

[@suedobson6962]

Good luck Billy! He's a special guy!

[@The1mrklaus]

Hello Pete, you have way more snow than we have here in Ontario Canada. As a retired mechanic I love the extensive technical knowledge you have about all your farm tractors you have.!!!

[@LawrenceLandriault-su9pw]

As I watch this video while having my morning coffee in my glider rocker and a winter storm outside the window , it takes me back to my youth. The farm smells, sounds and sights come vividly to mind. I remember sitting in our barn on a winter night with the hurricane lantern burning and just listening to the cows eating while I enjoyed the peace and tranquility. Thanks for bringing me back to those times. Keep up the amazing videos.

[@davidkraft3690]

Happy Birthday Hillary ! I don't think we give you enough praise for the success of this channel. We all appreciate you both. Looking forward to the projects from that second story shop.

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

Something as simple as watching someone else do chores is so entertaining

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I’m not a big fan of the cold, but I do like the beauty of snow. You’re red barn against the white snow and snow covered trees was just picturesc ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ 🎂🎈🎈 Hillary❤️❤️ it was nice to see you on the video as well. And it was nice of Pete to clean off your car so you didn’t have to! I enjoy watching the two of you work together on a farm. I enjoy seeing you in the cattle barn working together and hanging out. You make a great team. Thank you Pete to make this video and get out one of your tractors and move some snow. We had 12 inches in one day here in Iowa and then we’ve had three days since and we are now in the negative double digit temperatures. Who wants to go outside in that?! The older I get the more I like to stay huddled up inside the warm building. You guys take care and we love you.❤️❤️

[@Gigglepie77]

Happy birthday to you Hilary! I think you're the bees knees! You and Pete are some of my favorite youtubers. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us! Your videos bring me joy.🎉😊

[@OShackHennessy]

I’m so glad to see you placed that waste fuel/oil in a certified waste oil disposal container and scheduled a pickup instead of walking just off camera and throwing it in the snow. 😂

[@dawnkanis42]

Thank you for sharing your day on the farm with us. Happy Birthday Hilarie!

[@martianmuppet]

Love watching the seasons pass at Pete & Hilary's farm. And Happy Birthday Hilary!

[@johnblake3863]

Nice spending time with you plowing, Pete. It would be nicer to sit down with a cup of tea or coffee after. Love you guys!! Happy Birthday, Hilarie, Hilary, Hillarie, Hillary, Hillaree. :)

[@cherylmillard2067]

Thank you, Pete and Hillary, for including us in your day!!

[@avahightower4685]

Happy Birthday Hilary! Loved seeing the days of incoming snow... watching as it piled higher and higher... the ending was the best though... watching happy, peaceful cows doing their thing under lovely strands of an acoustic guitar. It just wasn't long enough. :) Thank you again, Pete. Bless you all

[@benwalsh2825]

I remember being 32. Best nine years of my life!

[@birdfeeding]

Happy Birthday Hil! May all your days be wonderful!

[@348Tobico]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Hilarie! All of us really humble great and talented people were born this week. Wowee! All that snow! Better you than me. By the way, my father used to paint bolts, screws etc. in bright spray paint for just such a circumstance as you encountered. Even a light spray of turquoise or orange made the bolts/screws that escaped easier to find. I was always the one tasked with finding them so I appreciated not going blind while searching. This years barn set ups are so much more efficient. Lots of planning and work----great results. You do give your cattle a contented life. Not just what they need but what they want for a comfortable life. You are good folks.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Happy birthday Hillary! Patty would be a great character for a children's book about farm life 🙂

[@lynnsweeney4529]

Happy birthday, Hillary. We can't express how much we enjoy your videos. 😊

[@kirkwilson10]

All the kids in class say Happy Birthday Mrs. Hilarie! Patty is especially enamoring to our little Maddie, bless her!

[@FrankGiunto-ct6yt]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HILLARY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. GOD BLESS

[@rog4864]

I love that red power you have there. I also really like the layout of your cattle barn. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@oldnorthstateoutdoors2002]

That much snow would shut everything down here in NC. There wouldn't be a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk for miles around. 😁

[@LauraDittman]

Good morning, Pete and Hilary and "Happy Birthday" Got my finger crossed for those Pigs🤞🤞 Mindful to me when you converted the light fixture over to LED lighting, awesome. Thank you for sharing cow comfort, they loved their clean bedding. Stay safe and warm, everyone!!!!

[@johnskelton5683]

Just A Few Acres Farm winter wonderland, all white and still for most who reside there. 😔

[@samvalentine3206]

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday, Hillarie! Thank you for the wonderful fun addition to your growing library of farm life in upstate NY. The time lapse of the cows bedding down and enjoying their new cover was enjoyable. Nice to see the white stuff. Down here on Long Island we only got some rain for that big storm they made such a fuss about. Used to be it would snow and we were used to it. Now the news makes such a big deal about storms - must be quiet days at the newsrooms so they have to rev us up with something! There was that great snowstorm back in 1977 - talk about snow! Now THAT was newsworthy! '78 was also impressive. Glad to see the Farmall A take care of business and good eye for finding that rivet/bolt! Thank you!

[@chipps1066]

Farmall tractors are like the C-47 and C-130,they will never become obsolete.Happy Birthday for your better half!

[@prestonmiller9552]

I never would have guessed Hilarie was 32. I was thinking more like 27. Oh well, I have never been good as guessing ages of cute young chicks. You guys got the same snow storm we had in Nebraska. About 6 inches here too.

[@shermdog6969]

That's my favorite of your tractors. I love those smaller ones. And happy birthday to that lovely wife of yours.

[@reverendterminator]

my wife also got birthday on the 10th of January. Congratulations to you both. Billy needs to do a good job, i want more pig content!

Happy Birthday Hilarie! Looks like the cattle like the chopped hay , maybe they clean it up better? Changed all my shop lights to led, big improvement. Thanks for your work on the video.

[@wallacetaylor5893]

Need to give the cattle there own channel. Be surprised how many would stop by to check them out throughout the day.

[@elbertfreeman8124]

You are doing a fabulous job for me; I always had the best times at my mother's childhood farm. Of course, you are more into it as a lifestyle. Myself as a teenager I had no clue! Thanks for all that you and family do. I love you talks and the silent content, running equipment it's all good! Happy belated "B-Day Hillary".
