Green Chopping Rye ~ Cows Out To Pasture

The rye is growing tall and the farmer has decided to start doing a little green chopping for the milk cows. Also, while we have a few days of no rain, we let some of the milk cows out to pasture for the first time this year! They love the freedom to run and jump around after a long winter.
Thanks for watching!

Your Family is Always Working Hard and you’re ALL even keel. It’s a Real Pleasure Watching ALL American Farmers providing Products for the Rest of Us. Thank You.🙏

[@kens.3729]

The Cows getting out of their Enclosure is more Exciting than Kindergartners going out for Recess. 😬👍🙏

[@Northernnine8878]

The cows getting out to play made my day. They’re so sweet 🥹

[@larrydavidson3402]

The cows get pretty frisky when they are let out for the first time. Fun to watch them.

[@chrisowen9378]

Letting the cows out. That never gets old.

[@alvinsterk2918]

Another year on the farm. Always loved the smell of fresh silage and fresh turned earth. Thank you for another great video. 🙏

[@acresofclayhomestead]

It smells sooo good!!

[@gregjohnston9287]

Growing up on a Wisconsin dairy farm, always enjoyed the first turnout to pasture in spring. The joy and exuberance of the cows is wonderful to see.

[@NavyAirdaleOldTimer]

Green Acres of Clay, The cows will be enjoying there cereal and making lots of delicious milk for my cereal! That Excavator is a game changer for the boys. We have plenty of water here, don't we. Thanks for sharing and God Bless...

[@davidkettell1073]

Love your sweater Rhonda .

[@leighwade6232]

Beautiful Rye, looking Beautiful love you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@rdyardie]

Those cattle went crazy in the fresh grass. They were excited to get going. 😊

[@Sunnyhill32]

Cows are looking very happy to be outside

[@patblaney3895]

Nice vlog guys happy farming

[@johnmedici6655]

I just found your channel about a month ago and I have to say I love what I'm seeing! I love farming videos where women operate the big machines! I'll see you in your next video!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Welcome to our channel!!

[@chrisstorer3111]

I enjoy watching your family.

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

I once saw a video when the farmer let his cows in a fresh field of rye and they went crazy. Cows do show signs of happiness you know. I bet your cows were really happy to get the green rye. Its the 29th here and it suppose to get down to 34 tonight and tomorrow. This is why you dont want to put in seeds until Mothers day here...

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video Ronda Kevin and Ethan

[@patkelly7999]

Great work Everyone, have a safe week👍🙏🙂

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great job Sydney

[@benjamincresswell3713]

Very very nice Ronda. You and Kevin do so beautifully together. Chopping and feeding fresh green rye to the cows, I was told, is like giving kids ice cream. My Dad grew up farming in the Saginaw Valley, so even though by the time I came along he lived nearer to Detroit, we always had 2 huge gardens. Dad always said wait until "Decoration Day" to plant to be safe from a late frost/ freeze. My next door neighbor told me not to take my "snow tires" off until the end of May. So there's some Old Fashioned Advice for Southern Michigan. Thank you for offering your beautiful farm for my viewing pleasure, it was a treat. ben/ michigan

[@7viewerlogic670]

I'd keep an eye on that bull.

[@keithvanpolen9049]

Another great video! Love to see the field work.Rhonda I always so impressed how you can run All the equipment!!

[@bay9876]

All that's missing is the fresh cut grass smell. Cows get a real treat fattening themselves up on mother nature's grass

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

My grandfather and grandmother used to go picking fruit out in Alberta BC and they would just walk out in the field and milk a cow I guess people didn't mind back then They had their own cows so they were used to bulk cows by hand they were pretty gutsy because they would walk out and pick the fruit that was on the ground too and the people out there didn't seem to mind them picking the fruit off the ground they bought a bunch too they used to always bring us back piles and piles of peaches and mom and Dad started going out with them doing the same getting peaches apricots all kinds of fruit cherries bring them home and can them all

[@josemanuelmunoz789]

Agradable ver la alegría del ganado corriendo,estimulado también por el olor de la hierba cortada... 🐄🐂👍

[@francisitaly82]

Hi Rhonda. As always fantastic video. Wow, the cows were really happy to go out to pasture after a winter spent inside the barn and as a sheep farmer I can understand their happiness. I'll see you next video.

[@jerrymurphy6673]

You have a wonderful family thanks for good vido thanks

[@johntolly1013]

Awesome to see another year starting on the farm and you all working so good together. ❤ 😊

[@coreyburnell77]

Happy cows

[@rayeddy528]

I love the smell of fresh cut hay and the smell of fresh turned sod !!! Brings back a lot of memories !! My home is surrounded by field of fescue. Dad , when he was alive, and I used to square bale it with a 273 New Holland. Now I give it all to a friend . Please forgive this old man for rambling! God bless you all and please be safe !!!! Eddy

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Never apologize for rambling. I do it all the time, and I enjoy hearing others' stories. 😊

[@Gearoid35]

Excellent video Rhonda, ye are brilliant turn your hand to any job, them cows look so happy in the outdoor environment.

[@alanm3438]

It is funny to see cows kick up their heals and go in to a gallop. I do not see cows very often and to see your cows is a treat. I have not seen a farmer do so much steel fabrication like you do. It is such a shame to see such expensive equipment rust away right before your eyes. Thanks for the video.

[@abnerking6275]

Keep up the good work I like what you're doing❤

[@Donniebwalker]

Best farming show on youtube

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Thanks!!

[@johnhenderson299]

Great video cow's are loving life.

[@farmboy5622]

Always love to see the cows runnin' and jumpin'!!! The chopped Rye grass looks Mmm- Mmm delish for the cows!!!

[@lazyjoe201]

You can tell Kevin is a real truck drive when the shifting is smooth without the clutch. Which is easier when you get use to it. Good video enjoyed it very much

[@daleroth236]

We had 70 degrees Saturday and 80 Sunday in Northern Ohio. Always fun to watch the cows getting out their first time in the spring.

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Looking good. First harvest of the year

[@davidbarnes706]

Love seeing family farms

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

Our last three days supposed to be made too but not this year my garden already planted

[@dieseldoctor2221]

Good Sunday morning KEVIN ,RONDA ,SYNDEY AND EATHAN GREAT video!!!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Thanks!

[@johnviney7919]

Thanks for the nice video, Rhonda!! Great to see the cattle getting out and enjoying their first spring outing, They will be loving that fresh green rye grass I think!! It may be a very good idea to cover over the drainage water holding tank in the field - it may attract small critters that could fall in and not get out??? A piece of plywood with a cinder block on top may do the job? Have a nice week!! 😀

[@davidgilvin3725]

great video You and your Duahgter could be twins and and you can see you in your sons looks.. In short moms a babe i say that with the most respect love your videos you guys work relly hard the farm life

[@doughaynes1048]

Thanks for sharing , great to see the family working together again ,looking forward to seeing your next adventure together. Have a great day .Blessings 🙏🏻❤️😀🤗

[@jameshattenbach5578]

Their just like kids at recess😅

[@Dan-qy1rg]

The rye grass is looking good, some good source of feed for your cows. I think it's great that your kids work with you and Kevin on the farm. I love to watch the cows and bull kick up their heels when the get let out on new pasture, I don't have as many head as you all, but it's still enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing, I hope you have a good week!

[@williamwright8286]

Awesome guys , Chop Chop 😊

[@guycharlebois3342]

Hi there, nice green chopped rye grass, I can still smell it just by looking it 😊. Keep on the good work.

[@davidhecker1894]

Hi Rhonda. It's always so much fun to see cows put out for the first time after being locked in for a time. Love your videos and the spiritual side of the videos as well, Thank you for sharing your experiences on the farm. My farming experiences are much the same. May you and your family always be blessed!

[@1944chevytruck]

Good job!

[@bencleaver6316]

Hello Rhonda,awesome video thanks,enjoy watching your farming operations in the USA,nice country cheers from Queensland Australia...

[@2504499]

Happy cows for sure!

[@glenn6448]

Always great to see the cows get outside. Spring is springing 😊😊

[@curtiswolf313]

Looks like the weather here is similar to yours. A few warm days then back to cool and the wind blows all the time. There has been heavy rain and storms all around us but just some light showers here.

[@aaronsanborn4291]

My wife would be so lost trying to operate anything more than a riding lawn mower.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Lol! You don't give her enough credit!

[@andrewgraves3719]

Equipment waking up from it's winter hibernation, nice to see no breakdowns in the first run of the year. I've made two of your recipes this week, hamburger buns and your chicken noodle casserole. I freeze the buns and they'll last me a couple of weeks. Hope you have a safe and blessed week.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Those buns are so good! I should make a bunch to freeze. That way, I don't have to make them the day I need them.

[@darrendaucsavage7632]

Rhonda u b dang careful around that damn bull.

[@jerrystout3032]

Great Job guys!

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

We usually green chop here in the fall. Most of our third cat hey go through the chopper to extend the pasture season. We usually begin about Labor Day and try to stretch it through till about Thanksgiving

[@bnorris4368]

Not to wish my life away but I feel so much better at the latter part of spring/early summer. Nice to see fresh cutting for the farm.

[@larryanglea3458]

Looks like our old marshall rye grass, cows love something green .The cows think they are breaking out the barn to graze. Ronda don't turn your back on any bull ,wished you all A I your cows but I understand it takes time to watch. good luck.

[@richardmccullock51]

Nice looking green chop the cows go crazy over it!! Your friend from Virginia

[@josephpuou96]

Awesome video 😊 those are some happy cows 🐄 Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽🌴😎

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

Sure glad I don't live in Oklahoma though see the disasters out there tornadoes all over the place glad I live on Vancouver Island we don't get any of that kind of weather here but this year we have to watch out for a wildfires getting a lot of sprinklers and hoses ready for my house it's supposed to be record-breaking year even breaking last year's record

[@samueledgarpegram7088]

I always enjoy your video. I got me a new roll baler for this year.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Awesome! I hope it works well for you!!

[@williammatzek4660]

Beef cattle think they have to run over new pasture also!

[@NORMANMORRISON1940]

I had one of those suicide steering wheel bowls on my truck one time but had to make sure I didn't get pulled over by the police because they were illegal in BC to have them under vehicle

[@grzegorzkasperski1408]

This year, I also see drains in some of my fields. You also have a problem with the hydraulic oil sensor in the chopper. We also had frost a few days ago. A lot of cherry fruit buds have already fallen. In some places, nuts and grapes froze.

[@acresofclayhomestead]

No problem with the sensor. It was just cold.

[@souravIfarmer7785]

Good vedio

[@doncc6080]

Ethan should have driven and you should have sat on Kevin's lap. How rude to make you sit on that hard little box!!!!!! Nice to see you all in the field again

[@user-wi1si8kr7v]

Ronda, tell Kevin and the boys they did a fabulous job on controlling the stream, it looks like it is working as it should, Now hopefully they can get the perimeter area leveled off to grow more crop there It’s always a great joy for me to see a new video posted, have a wonderful Sunday and upcoming year 😊

[@joshsuperduty1270]

Hey Rhonda great video as always m how’s Ram truck doing

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Nothing has been done to the ram yet.

[@timheasley612]

Oh Rhonda please don't get in with that bull when he starts moaning like that it almost made my heart stop bulls are not to be trusted ever. We had a bull like that and the boss said don't get to close I didn't know better and was standing right next to him and he was moaning like that the boss said get away he was known to take on the skid loader and roll it over . the next day after he was looking at me the boss sent him to the auction he said he didn't want to see him hurt anyone he was ever beating up the cows time to go buddy 2000 pound bull will kill in a heart beat they are very territorial 😳😳👍🙏 God bless

[@acresofclayhomestead]

I understand your concern. This bull likes to talk a lot but hasn't shown signs of standing his ground with people or equipment. If he does that, then he goes to the sale.

[@byronmoon8351]

You need to buy some new seats in the truck

[@markmullin4246]

Yeah,they were trying to tell y'all, hurry up open that gate! :-) That one,a Dutch belt?

Yes, we have a few Dutch belts

About 2 days

Your cows deviate from the classic Holstein coloring. Are they crossbreds with other breeds?

Cross bred with Jersey.

Miss Rhonda, when did you acquire that long white trailer for hauling ? Was it gotten at a auction?

[@acresofclayhomestead]

Bought it from a local dealer.

[@dennislamers986]

It seems this video has gone "arye". Those cows are so crazy when they are released to the pasture.

[@lytken]

good video again why do you need to cup the rye before you use it af feed, can't the cows chew it

[@user-oh4on8ln1f]

time for bull to go to the pizza plant lol.

[@rodneywroten2994]

Back in the swing of things. Where is Sanders, did I miss a episode?

No, Sanders just didn't help this time.

[@barrywalker3730]

The trouble is these politicians don't know what it's like to have food shortages they want to green the countryside and can't see that we need food security

[@acresofclayhomestead]

In the 5-6 years, our nation has lost 21 million acres of farm land. If this keeps up, we will have to depend on other nations for food.
