[@mbula57]

Keep doing what you doing. GOD BLESS YOU AND FAMILY always. We need this info. Even if they try to bring you down.

Love your herbs and natural info. I suffer from anxiety and all other that comes with it. After days,hour, praying I decided to make a change. Start from my inside, eat clean drink more liquid then solid. Started to blend my veggies & fruits, this was my meals for a while. Don't like meat. Especially with the way they being fed today. Anyways since I started doing this and cut all meds. I feel so much better. Sorry this comment has nothing to do with this video. Comment goes to your gardening video. Is important to grow and eat your own food. That's the only way we know what we're putting in our body.❤

Amen. Glad you are doing better

Dachshunds will merc snakes and small critters. Very fond of those little guys.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Sweet little dogs.

[@christopherovard379]

Border collies are great dogs. A mix black lab, with a pit, make great dogs. You get a great protective dog, but very friendly. Great hunters of small varmints like o’possum . Raccoons, moles, & field mice. Unfortunate, they will grab a chicken and bring it to you, if one happens to get in their area. Thanks for the great video.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

For sure. Duke grabbed one of my neighbors chickens when it flew over the fence. It wasn't a pretty sight. lol

Great Post, my first time checking it out. I'm from NYC, far from a Farm guy😊. I do live Dogs though, had a bunch and read about them since I was a kid. German Shepherd and Rottweiler are great all around farm dogs. American Bulldogs are too.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Cool, thanks.

[@Nnip9]

Border Collies usually prefer hands off but yours is unusually friendly and enjoys human affection.

[@JayDee25895]

yup

[@longfieldinthecountry7322]

Thanks for sharing experiences brother. I'm intending to have those in my country property once I move in. 👌🙏👍

[@CountryLivingExperience]

You're welcome. May God bless you with a property soon.

Rats in the bushes .. weren't stealing electricity were they? 🤣

Love Duke!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

He's a good boy.

[@ronthompson3609]

Cats also kill/eat pack rats that tend to get up in the engine blocks of vehicles and destroy wiring.

[@hillsidehomestead6422]

Can you tell me the brand of camera you use? Your videos are so clear!

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Good to know they are looking nice for y'all. It is a Canon EOS M6

[@user-me2gy5km6q]

My choices would be an Australian Shepherd or Border Collie as my livestock dog, and a Jack Russell or Rat Terrier for vermin. No cats needed :)

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Good choices

[@suburbangirlcountryworld2491]

So what do you get for Wild Boar? Are traps and rifles our only defense?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

All of the above. Add fencing to traps and rifles.

[@suburbangirlcountryworld2491]

@@CountryLivingExperience I did put in a barbwire fence, but I'm told it may not be enough for wild pigs? Sooo I"m gonna see if I can get the solar wire to make it hot.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

@@suburbangirlcountryworld2491 We have cattle panels around our property. Seems to be the only thing that will stop them around here.

[@suburbangirlcountryworld2491]

​@@CountryLivingExperience oh okay, thanks! I will look into those because we already have a huge Hog Hole in the middle of the pasture.

Install a Barn Owl nest box.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I don't want owls around. They would eat my chickens and cats.

[@chubzeee1]

Are dogs and cats bothered by poisonous spiders, scorpions and chiggers?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Not at all. We do give them flea and tick medication on a regular basis because that is their biggest nemesis. I have seen my cat eat a scorpion.

[@onlyapilgrim]

hello, i was wondering what brand you use? my family has wasted so much money on numerous flea and tick preventatives that either didnt work or ended up causing seizures, even in correct doses

[@longfieldinthecountry7322]

How about ducks? I hear they can kill snakes.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Sorry, I don't know anything about ducks.

[@centralscrutinizer76]

Dog yes , Cat no way! This younger generation of cat is lazy , they just want to sit around under the air-conditioned watching cat videos on youtube and eating fancy feast. If you kick them out the house they will come back and give you ring worms .

[@CountryLivingExperience]

I don't let animals in my house, especially cats. Mine are not lazy. They kill mice and snakes all the time.
