[@DossFarm]

Thank ya bud! Check Ben & family out here guys! Tell them we sent ya! kzbin.info

[@michellelillie6259]

Adler's face just lit up when you said the chicken was going to have babies ! And when he saw the tractor ! Tell Case we miss seeing him. Glad you got the beefy boys back. Love to Adler Farm tree of life. God bless !

[@ionecuff6323]

I'm sorry, but whenever your baby i sin the video, then I have no idea what is said or what is going on. Watching how he is so focused and caring about the animals and wanting to help is just too precious to miss a second. He is so adorable, especially with the way he walks with a purpose and so intent on helping out. You are so blessed to have two such amazing and beautiful (yes I said beautiful) sons inside and out!! It is wonderful to see that you are passing on the love, nurturing, teaching, and patience your parents had with you. You all are so blessed!

[@chrissy82019]

Chad, I am going to say to you what I said to Mr. Coghill. I told him to put racecar sounds when Nugget is out running. You should do the same thing when Smokey has a bad case of the zommies. Or do a horse race commentary the goats and Smokey are out running together. I love your dad's channel. He is an inspiration to senior adults in my opinion.

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

Amen 🙏

[@mimide]

Watched the entire video but, the best part was hearing that sweet Adler hanging out with Daddy! The Beefy Boys better start behaving or they’ll find themselves in freezer camp. Fun day @ the Farm. 🐄🐖🦃🐓

[@gailpulley9213]

Pennyworth's face in the chichen coop is so stinkin' cute!

[@laurreneberry3480]

Adler's eyes got so big and sparkled when the big truck came.

[@BloomWithGracie]

LOL That was too funny! Your reaction to touching the poo mud was hilarious......lol

[@debbiew.7094]

Adler is just so cute! His eyes are beautiful! He is doing great feeding the animals. He's being an awesome little farmer! 😊❤😊

[@floridagal150]

After seeing Smokey chewing on the wire fence like a grizzly bear, I think it's time you open up that red gate. When Adler threw the eggs, you're just glad he's right handed, that was awesome! I like how Adler says, Soshee. The Adler Farms sign is really nice, they did a nice job.

[@DossFarm]

Appreciate Ben & family for helping me out. I was in a pinch and sent an S.O.S. Message & he called me right up! Be sure and thank them for us and let them know we sent you if you haven’t met them! kzbin.info

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

VW Farms are very nice people 🙏

[@carolynnewman5608]

Put a cattle panel across the top where you don't want the goats to get and push the house grandpow built back a little for the goats so they can't get in that corner.

I love following VWFF. Awesome people

[@virginiareid5336]

Adler’s eyes were on his Papa and the big truck and new equipment! The wonder on his face was so precious, I’m glad you got this memory on film. Take Care

[@tiataber7775]

Sounds like another Tee shirt Logo. OUR COUNTRY TOUCH at Adler farm. And "No goats aloud!" I would buy it!

[@strong3871]

Smokey chewing the fence....lol. She didn’t realize the camera was rolling. 😆

[@marthahill1919]

Smokey sure is precious. Love the Adler farms sign. Them cows are sure stubborn aren't they. Your boys are. Great. You are a great dad. God bless.

[@laurreneberry3480]

Adler tickles me. His little farmers walk. He sure has his walk down pat.

[@LOST_IN_MONTANA]

Love watching your Dads videos. Adler is so precious and has a great throwing arm. Keep up the good work.

[@elainejohnson7493]

Thank you for your kindness to Hidden Heights Farm. I know they are forever gratefrul to you. May God continue to bless you all. I think you are the best.

[@rhondabritt972]

Chad you got your exercise for the day. Adler works hard on his chores. Have a good evening. Love you guys.

[@cjmcadams4817]

Adler is just too cute. He was more interested in the truck than ending the video.

[@sandrah4407]

Let the beefy boy follow your scoop since they know that's where there food comes from. Or get a coffee can and start transporting there food in it from the can so they know that's where their food comes from the shake it let them follow you across the road for food. Food works best to train any animal to follow

[@maxinekelly8417]

Pennyworth is a good looking goat will make lovely kids. 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺👍

[@mjk6814]

There are determinant and indeterminate potatoes. Determinant potatoes you don’t need to hill. Indeterminate potatoes you need to hill.

[@jessicabatson8135]

Adler is so cute! His eyes lit up when he saw the big tractor. When we had cows in the pasture we would train them to the honking of the horn on the truck and the shaking of a feed sack. We would pull up and honk then start shaking the feed sack - they would come running from everywhere - maybe try getting them to follow your pink scoop since they know it already. Start feeding them closer and closer towards the new pasture.

[@oldchevytrucklovers]

Lol Smokey gets morning zoomies, our Amstaff “Calvin” gets 3:00pm zoomies. It’s so funny to watch! I actually yelled out loud when the cow got out! Glad you got it back in! I’m sure you appreciated the help. Every farmer needs a good neighbor! Adler just so cute in his boots and hat, just like daddy and big brother! 🥰

[@laurreneberry3480]

As for the beefy boys, add the hot wire to their pen. What you had happen is the very reason we electrified barbed wire. They learned fast.

[@Susan71105]

That Adler is a doll.

[@CynthiasCraftsandmore]

Ms. Lola, we want to see your babies. OMG, the look on Adler's face when he saw the tractor that Grandpa got. Priceless!🥰 Subbed to VW Family Farm. Love the Tree of Life with the farm name. Thank you for sharing! Hugs and love to you and your family. ❤️✝🤗 Have a beautiful and blessed week. God Bless ❤️✝🤗

[@jcbengals1]

You guys are adorable! You are such a good daddy. Thank you for sharing your family with us! A little stall refresher (Sweet PDZ) sprinkled over the straw will help with funky monkey smells in the chicken area, as well. God Bless ❤️

[@catherinegrace6406]

Maybe you could attach a smaller chain to your feed/water dishes and to your posts to pull the dishes back...just an idea

[@diannawilliams761]

Beautiful family, and nice looking farm. May God strengthen you and lift you up.

[@janiefox3458]

BTW - I found out on Tarter website that I can use the Tarter Circle flower garden for a fire pit - gonna get me one, hopefully tomorrow.

[@hollyhock3945]

Beautiful Adler Farms plaque. I appreciate your sense of humor so much...I get it. 😜 Fingerling potatoes are determinate, so hilling them will not make them grow more potatoes. They will put out horizontal roots and your potatoes will pretty much all be at the same depth. Indeterminate varieties will put on more potatoes if you hill them. Love love love Ben, Andrea and the kids @VWFarm. Glad they could help.

[@tinafortin8958]

Really greening up 👍 nice cleanup with the chicken pen... Smells better from here 🤣😂. Tree of Life is Gorgeous 👍💖Best spot to place it 👍👍 Smokey found dental floss 🤣she was chewing on the fence🤪☺️ God Bless you all 🙏😇

[@tawniafreeman3818]

Definitely teach them by putting the hot wire on the inside of their smaller pasture. It will teach them 2 respect it once they know what it is

[@reginahasty5829]

Good afternoon everybody you know I love seeing new videos it makes my day.

[@rosemariegarrison4487]

That is awesome the tree of life. Smokey is great I love watching her chasing the goats they have a good time. YourDad loves Smokey and Smokey loves him. It’s sweet She is a smart dog

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

I totally enjoy watching your dad's channel. I wish I could have done half of what he does when I was his age. I use to until my last motorcycle wreck put a end to my wild fun life I was living. I was always doing fun thing with my hands doing woodwork and traveling over the miles working with addiction recovery clubs. My life was busy and fun all at the same time. BUT one day soon in God's time I'll be back out there again. But it's been a very long 9 years of being laid up. But thanks to y'all's videos they keep me out of my head. and feeling sorry for myself. Now not the time for stories. I just want to say Thanks for all the time you put in to making these videos. They are good fun laugher medicine for me... Be blessed in Jesus name... BBE..

[@DossFarm]

Appreciate ya bud 😎

[@anneparisi1828]

Ben’s a good guy - love his channel. Good family and they all work together.

[@vickimeyers2672]

Seeing the pregnant sow brought back a 60-year-old childhood memory. I used to spend 2-3 weeks at my uncle's Nebraska farm. Sow had a litter and the piglets were so cute my cousin and I decided they were like babies. Uncle came around the corner to see me and my cousin sitting in a corner of the pen, each holding and cuddling a piglet, wrapped in a baby blanket. I'll never forget my uncle yelling at us that the sow could kill us and eat us and to stay the he** out of the pen! Gotta mute the sound as my Malamute is howling again! 😅

[@mainemagic2351]

Chad, On our farm, we had a baby holstein that was my calf. When she was weaned, we put her in a small paddock by our pond which she loved. We raised her for the freezer but she had a mind of his own...would jump the fence to go visit our milk herd. So, we put a collar on her and a staked her in paddock. She loved grain but loved her milk more so always took both to paddock when it was time to move her...try giving them some molasses when you give them pellets...sweeten their dispositions!!! ...Cheers from Maine.

[@DossFarm]

42 is just a pain and spooks easily 😂

[@gailpulley9213]

Thanks Mr. Charlie for helping Chad with the runaway cow!

[@mpedmar9701]

Beautiful Tree of life sign. You could feed the wet food to the animals, Some people even soak the feed to fermente it before feeding. So the wet food as long as it's not molded is good for their digestive system. If you already knew and fed it to the cows, forgive me. I wasn't sure if you dumped it over the fence where the cows had access or not. If any potatoes are above the surface definitely cover them with straw/ hay, The Sun makes the potatoes turn green and Buildup poison. BAM ...LOL Reminded me of Batman, where were the yellow lighting Bolts .😃 Love Adler closing out the vlog. Pretty soon you'll prompt him and he'll take off ! Stay happy, healthy, hydrated and safe. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[@vbarrettbarrett7026]

Kevin had new piglets get out and into a wooded area and lost 2 of them. They searched the woods for a long time. Had no idea they could get out until it was too late! 😢

Thank you 😊

[@mariesplace9547]

Seeing the Boss is always a treat.. Bumblebee Junction has excellent gardening tips and a lot more. Loved the comment, about the "fowl" odor down 😂😂

[@susanfrey7065]

Adler has quite the look when the chicken jumped out of his reach. God bless you from Michigan ❤

[@nancytunis7472]

I wondered if a wing feather touched him, and he wondered if that was a 'scary' thing or not. You were perfectly reassuring.

[@buildingtown]

some folks are building sled coops that can be moved around - that may be a future project that could help you - Cog Hill is thinking about it - seems like a great idea 👍🏼

[@deejenkins8314]

Chad, check with local tree services (or even the line crews you have working near you right now) usually they will be glad to give you the wood chips free and they make great stall and run filler. And you can pull it out as it composts down to use in the gardens later. They will be perfect around your raised beds for weed control too.

[@AnneDaleHomestead]

Yes, loved that your Dad had the goat eating out of his hand. That was cool. Love the sign! Can’t help you with the pigs but I bet you have some friends that will be glad to. Take care.

[@kristyshannon3755]

Hi chad. Goodafternoon. God bless you,adler farms, adler,case, grandpa and all the animals. Praying for lola to have happy, healthy piglets.

[@sharonltroutt5455]

Love hearing the birds💖

[@kathybelles701]

I would enclose the chicken area where the goats are hanging out. Put a feeding trough under one of the trees and make a dry spot for the goats out of a round wheel that came from one of the electrical departments (or wherever you get them) so they can climb and rest on it. As long as the goats have trees they won't get too wet from the rains. I know they don't like rain but it won't really kill them just get the really wet. In the winter you could set up a shed like you do for the steers so they can get out of the cold.

[@lindahusson4206]

Never get tired of watching your cute son!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kittymorse7402]

Sooooooooo Cute.

[@deejenkins8314]

For your (deer deterrent fencing) I just zip tie 2x2x8s to each t post and then use fishing line crisscrossed between those. The deer will test it once and run into something they can’t see and won’t bother it again. It has worked for me for years.

[@rwjingo4955]

We just go out into my granddaughter's goat pen and sit down. They always get curious and check us out, especially if there are hoodie strings to chew on. We've done this since day one and most of the goats always want some lovin when we get near their fence now. There are a few, non original ones who are still a bit skittish, and the original nanny always has been a rip until it's time to kid, then she's sweet, lol.

[@kathyjo1353]

That little right handed egg thrower is soooooooo cute !!!

[@DossFarm]

He is indeed. My shortest buddy 😊

[@elsiemiracle7618]

Feeding your animal's on the ground doesn't hurt them if they was wild they would be eating off the ground.

[@reneeyancik8657]

Kevin and Rachel sent me...I'm from Central FLORIDA. Thanks for helping that family out. They are great people and I'm sure they will Love that puppy.

[@trishacline5531]

Hey there Chad...how about Petunia and Poppy for your PigPigs? Just sayin’...😊

[@karenspeer7378]

I So Enjoy Spending Time on Adler Farm!! What a Blessing! ❤⚘

[@bubbagump4686]

Make yourself a mobile chicken pen , say , 4 x 8 , and roll it around the areas you want the weeds and brush to be gone. Then , bring them back to their home at night. Uncle used to do the same thing with pigs , could clear out a 1/4 acre in a week.

[@chelemichele1524]

Busy day... Have a good evening 🌷🌷🌷

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

That's a beautiful sign, what a nice gesture!

[@dianeb1405]

My grandpa used to tell me to hill my potato plants as they grew. To me, potatoes were always the easiest to grow!

[@cyndeecollings5738]

Chad maybe fence off a part that has a lot of weeds and put the goats in there all day then let them out at night. That way you can control were they clean up and see what they do and do not eat.

[@maxinedurling3425]

For the chickens try putting loads of wood chips down and keep topping it up You will need to take it out in 6 months to a year but its already composted for the garden

[@conniemasotti7002]

i heard kevin on living traditions homestead talk about there being two different types of potatoes. One that you plant in hills and one you do not but that is all i remember, lol

[@k1llersqu1rrel38]

Is it bad that the first thing I thought when Smokey was at the fence was “window licker”? 🤣

[@DossFarm]

Always that one kid on every bus 🚌 😂

[@marshashelley8668]

Tbose growing bags dry out Fast! Need to water them good almost every day unless you get alot of rain. Enjoy your videos!! And your boys are cutees! Especially the little guy!!

[@chrisjoyhobgood3767]

You do not have to hill them. They will produce just fine. I really like your channel glad that I found this to Hidden Heights!

[@coleneritchie5625]

The tree of life gift is so great!

[@michellepainter7853]

Chad, you should get duct tape or any thing else to cover that wiring on the chickens door. Now that goat found it it will at sometime go back and chew it.

[@davidstoughton3257]

In my experience potatoes need somewhat soft ground/soil and to be planted deep for maximum production. Whatever you do you will get some taters. Ruth stout grows in straw over the ground and gets great yields. Its nature, the plants will adapt to survive. Love watching your channel. You are living your dream and have a Christian faith so as many Christian's, you don't worry cuz God is in control and no matter what he'll show you the way !!! When I was a kid I just touched it quickly on my Unckes fairy farm cuz my Dad ( that grew up on that dairy farm) taught me to just touch it quick and it's just a 5 second bokt that stings a bit lolol to this day at 62 that how I test power in a 110 volt circuit. Guess my tolerance fur pain is higher than most.

[@victoriamaaske7420]

You can buy straw, corn stalks are good too for bedding. Chicken like to scavange for bugs in grass too. Give them more space too. They eat weeds like crazy from my garden.

[@Susan71105]

My goats were the same way, only wanted grain

[@1957mumsy]

God bless you,adler farms

[@joyday9020]

Farmers down here use human hair around their gardens, works well😊❤

[@nickijames4250]

I would absolutely run a line of electric inside their current pasture. Help teach them to respect the fence. Also might try leading them with food next time and have help. Nothing ever goes as planned with livestock. lol. Just reference I don't know about cattle but used to have horses. You got this!

[@victoriamaaske7420]

Buy straw locally from farmers.

[@susancamp4844]

Hey Chad! I watch a channel called Living Traditions Homestead. They built a farrowing station for their mama pig to have her babies safely. There was also a spot that the piglets could go under to keep them from getting smashed by mama. It was quick, easy, and economical. I hope that helps!

[@susanpeters4608]

Kevin and Sarah @ Living Traditions Homestead might have some ideas which might be beneficial, I think they have pasture pigs, recently put up a double fence to keep deer out, go Farmers Market in Ava MO and willing to share knowledge!

[@gorway7]

When I was in my teens, a few of us used to help out a few weekends at the farm down the road. We were shown how to test if the fence was on using a piece of fresh "green" grass stalk. We would pick a piece about 7 or 8 inches long, hold one end and touch the other to the wire and move it closer till you felt the ting,e of the pulse. If it was on you'd generally feel it about 4 or 5vinches from your fingers. It seemed to work well unless you picked up a wet piece... then you copt it!

[@robcole8218]

I love you little boy.

[@lynnspeight1609]

That farm sign is beautiful!

[@karenspeer7378]

Your Ending Was So Precious!! 🥰

[@lanasawyer8157]

I've seen Jason (Cog Hill ) put down DE in the coops when they clean them out - maybe that will cut down the smell? It doesn't look like you're over feeding the goats, but they might eat more weeds if you cut back even more. Love your channel & Grandpa's channel!!

[@DossFarm]

Yes we use DE A LOT. I think the issue is when it rains it kind of makes it more noticeable how much it smells. Agreed on the goats. Thank you!

[@jackiegriffin2594]

You could take and put a second fence a few feet away from first fence deer can't tell how far apart they are and won't jump it so do two fence's around gardens

[@chrisryan5339]

Another great video many thanks Chad. Great to see the boss great little guy. Cheers Chris from England.

[@renogal7515]

I’d free range the pigs as soon as they are old enough cuz those goats won’t do what you bought them for..... at least mine never did...

[@sharonltroutt5455]

AWESOME metal plaque!💖

[@thedonkeypuncher2395]

Just a suggestion for y'all, maybe wait to feed the goats anything until the end of the day if at all. There is more than enough to keep them fed just from grazing and if they have no other food to eat then it will force them to graze.

[@nancytunis7472]

it is So Cool to find out your Dad's age. Born the same year as my brother! So Extremely Cool!

[@donnajoyner1474]

According to Hoss Tools website, their fingerling potatoes should be hilled up as they grow. You could take large plastic jugs, remove tops and bottoms, set over individual plants and hill up when needed. Or box frames, anything sturdy to hold the dirt in and stand up to water.

[@tinafortin8958]

What a great idea to Hill potatoes ... I've also when didn't have space plant potatoes in cloth bags rolled down and as they grew unrolled the bags and added earth and continued this until they were eventually filled ... Worked really well 👍
