Calves are Popping Up All Over

[@pumpkinseeds8990]

Nothing better than waking up to a Just a Few Acres Farm with a cup of coffee

[@conorrk]

Every Time he post, Im here!

[@SusanA1056]

I can't agree more. Only for myself it's a cup of tea!

[@autumnstutler9693]

Pete, I almost enjoyed this video even more for how casual and raw it felt! We as your main viewers literally don’t care what you post. We are here for you and your wonderful family you have created. We are here to watch your mundane chores and activities that you probably don’t think are interesting. We seriously love you for you!

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

Here here

[@seidrover]

As we age, I think we get smarter and realize what makes us happier. Way to go.

[@JamesCouch777]

Yes, and then you get too old to do what makes you happy 😢

[@danielgraf8294]

If that purplish bush has thorns on it it's probably Barberry

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Yes! Thank you, that's it!

[@googies12a]

@@JustaFewAcresFarm if it has thorns on it is a BERBERIS BUSH, although in Ireland they don't have as much green underneath the red foliage.

[@EcklecticCraftJunkie]

Contentment is a wonderful feeling. And doing the things one loves/enjoys is where it’s found. Thank you Pete and Hillary. ❤

[@jims6308]

Your closing comments are spot on. It's what each of us experience throughout our lives. Raising the family, paying the mortgage, work, work and more work until we realize that the kids are grown and the mortgage is paid. Then it's just your mate and you. Time to get back to the things, as you said, fulfill us. Contentment is the key to a happy retirement I believe.

[@SotoFarmsCaribbeanBeef]

Sometimes I feel like I am right there with you Pete. Glad to see everything is going great @ your farm.

[@DarrinsDaffs]

The fact that within 45 minutes of posting you have over 1500 likes says everything about the great content you share. Including the dad jokes 😉😉😉

[@beverlystarcher8522]

Just watched this video, and he has 14,450 views and over 4k likes. Yep, Pete has a great channel. I love watching his videos.

[@theresakelly3747]

Barberry bushes

[@zigfreidbop]

No, not including the Dad jokes - we could really do without those.

[@carolinefreak]

Came here on a suggestion from other farm video enthusiasts... Wow! This is just what my soul needed. And now I'll have a wonderful time catching up on all your previous videos, I really look forward to that. Thank you for your videos, and thank you for creating a little slice of peace for so many of us!

[@B4UClose]

18,000 people viewing your videos in the first two hours speaks well of the desire to see your content.

[@348Tobico]

I let out a gasp when I saw the compost spilling at 12:31! Then I remembered you make tons of compost and then I was just a little jealous of your riches. With no livestock I have to buy compost. Grrr. The bovines look happy and contented. The yard and garden look cleaner and will be more content. Now it's time for you and Hillary to take your turn at the contentment you provide for the other parts of your life. Knowing what makes you happy is terrific. Especially when you find it right outside your own back door.

[@mikemaryhaggerty2728]

Hi Pete, I believe you are right. Someone asked me yesterday what I do for fun, after a moment of contemplation I said "Nothing in particular, I just enjoy life on the farm." Being content is far more fulfilling than "doing" things for fun.

[@robineggblue-bp3rq]

Your cows look very healthy. And your landscaping has good bones. I love the arbor and the walkways. Nice to see more of the house too. I think its interesting how small these older houses look compared to houses built today.

[@brycewiborg8095]

That is cool. The cows are comfortable around you therefore the calves are relaxed around you. I'm of the opinion that landscaping is part of farming. Thank you Pete.

[@MikeOrazzi]

Pete has a great relationship with his herd. I wonder if he has ticks in his region. I get covered in them when I walk through our fields and pretty much everywhere else too.

[@ZacharyVolner]

Pete just want to thank you for what you’ve done! It’s inspired and driven me to start my own farm!

[@jozek998]

I'd love to see more gardening and beautifying the premises in your videos if you happened to do such work in the future.

[@akelkhunter]

Enjoyed watching the new gardening and flower garden videos. It’s all park of the great life. Keep them coming. Hoping to see a shot of the pavers cleaned and the next trimming.

[@dandaigle4546]

your wife's an angle, what a God send, never ending chores, thank you for feeding us

[@senval6511]

Like, acute or more of a right angle?

[@damanifesto]

Hopefully, she's not an obtuse angle...

[@duanebennett2961]

Lmao

[@phillm156]

120 degrees

[@Collie1228]

She;s a right angle for sure. Right on!

[@sylviafielder7779]

Prayer, coffee and watching Just a Few Acres. Thank you for continuing to share your content with us. ❤

[@theresakelly3747]

Wisteria is my favorite. I grew up with it wrapped around our front porch in Holyoke Massachusetts . Until. My father had the house aluminium sided and the siding company' they cut down the wisteria. It was over 20 years old. My father was pissed. I will never forget that

[@jeffreyjohnson8212]

Love the gardening content &, of course, baby cows….and the “think piece.” Thanks for sharing your day with another great video!

[@trigonx1]

Glad to see the newborn calves doing well.

[@theburnhams2925]

"T"-shirt : "I wonder if my tractor is thinking about me, too?"

[@AndrewHCann]

Excellent video Pete :) , Hilary :) tide up your homestead and always pretty what both do to also love it too ! Also nice got new calfs in cows to and so cute to that my favorite part in doing farming back years ago! Why did is my dad also uncle say how many calfs getting soon also be twins or tripleets and males also females! It was questionable game like playing with me because 1 to 2 on some years on odd years then some years 3 calfs come on even years new on farm ! Was wild for sure 👍!

[@samoatodd8730]

Hillarie has a smile that makes the garden light up😊 I really enjoy watching you guys work together…wonderful partnership!

[@DrMarkJWeber-wx6qv]

Pete, this was always my favorite time of year, calving season. Seeing the babies run around is very rewarding. Keep bringing the joy to all of us. Thank you!

[@gregburris4947]

I can relate to the frustration of watching a newborn trying to get its first meal. I've gotten a little better as I've gotten older, but still, I understand. I agree with you having calves at the time of year that you do, not too early. Not too late.

[@daymoonfarm2903]

I love watching your day. I love the cows, but I'm also glad to see you and Hillary doing other things you enjoy, like gardening. Please, enjoy your life, and hopefully you'll bring us along for the ride.

[@mindym.1166]

The scent of lilacs always takes me back to my grandparents small farm. Grandma had a big lilac outside the back door of the farmhouse and we used to play out there. Thank you for stopping to smell the flowers, Pete, you took me back. 🙂

[@chrisploutz3193]

Awesome video Pete! Yes that is all part of owning a farm. Taking pride in your property by making it look nice says alot about the owners and you feel good looking back at your finished work! Thanks!

[@BobJRSchlumpy2015]

Hey Pete, yes, 100 percent would agree that being content in a current state of mind allows for much clearer minds and thoughts and overall calmness to the daily life. Once a person has reached that point of contentment, time can seem to slow a bit, so yeah agree with that statement! Also the lilac bushes are fantastic, we have a bunch in my area as well, too bad they don't bloom long enough, but they always back the next season! Enjoyed the content good sir! Hillary and yourself are great!! See ya next time!

[@rdawg8514]

Hey just wanted to say that your channel has been helping us with our farm immensely thank you for your dedication to this channel and making videos in light of all the “haters”.

[@ginstar3]

Thank you Pete for saying the fence was off when Sally's calf was stumbling through the wires. 😲

[@peanut8400]

Contentment……I couldn’t agree more. We have been retired from the business of business for 8 years now. Before retiring we bought our small house in the southern PNW at the ocean. We garden and putter around on our own time. We are truly in the happiest and the most content phase of our lives. We left the “KINGDOM OF THING-DOM” far behind and live with far less stress and stuff. Thank you for always bringing a sense of peace and solitude to us. Bless you and the family.

[@joerodrigues3816]

Looking great mate hope it all works well with your cows and there new ones all the best to you and your family and your friends

[@EjosChanel]

The green and very amazing atmosphere makes your video look very natural.

[@bgatlin5918]

Getting to see the new borns with mamas almost made me cry for some reason. It’s just so dear, the circle of life. We’re aging along with you Pete and Hilarie. Needs and demands change and hopefully we’re able to enjoy a slower pace, more of the things that bring joy (and not iust $$), and the balance you describe. Love being your neighbor, even if it is only thru the lens on my computer. Have a great day yourself.

[@williamwallace7299]

I have preached contentment to my daughter. Happiness is sometimes hard to grasp

[@Bartmunlin]

I am glad your calves are coming in healthy. Keep posting, it brings back good memories.

[@theburnhams2925]

Loropetalum. Just a guess....never realized they could acclimate at your latitude...Always enjoy your video(s)!

[@elvinirons5959]

Great part of spring watching for the New births on the farm !!!

[@margiev4237]

I could never quite pinpoint why I enjoy watching and listening to your channel but it just hit me today that for me you are like Fred Rogers for adults. Thanks for sharing your day with me!

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

What else can I say. Pete, thanks. You are a breath of fresh air.

[@lesgaal4017]

Growing up on a farm is one of the best life lessons any person could ask, as time moves on the things you did every day when you were younger become more important. Its the simple things in life that are priceless they give so much joy and a family farm delivers all of that in time. And calving is a special time for all thanks Pete and Hilary for sharing.

[@felixkikkenborg5771]

How are the calfs and Cows so relaxed and dont run away from you❤

[@downtwourth]

Really enjoyed this one Pete. It was nice to see a little bit of the homeowner part of life and some of the farmhouse. I am from New England and am always a sucker for good farmhouse and grounds!

[@ezone913]

Character and reputation are built on quality over quantity. Doing every task very well, is good for the soul. Maybe not as much for the sore hands, and knotted my back, that ol' trick knee doesn't like the ladder anymore, have you seen my glasses? LOL Good content is hard to make week after week. I enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing, Pete & Hill ❤

[@Keith-x6d]

Making people happy brings satisfaction to life. Thanks for the wholesome content Pete.

[@sgrvtl7183]

Lilac bushes are a favorite, a lot of memories in my Ohio childhood~ Congratulations on your new calves, a joy to see your cattle on beautiful green pastures!

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Thanks for the video. There's a guy in Georgia who purchased farm land and house that was originally in his family many years ago. Once it was abandoned, the wisteria and privet went nuts and turned the place into a jungle you could hardly see through. He has been fighting it ever since. I never knew wisteria could grow so much. Some of the branches that went up trees there actually are 4-5+ inches in diameter. I have always loved pruning things.

[@anafredbrutout3648]

i think this was a great video! I am almost 70 done with managing work and taking care of the house + small garden. Without my hubby helping..He is in love with his recliner at 77. I am trying to make chicken soup today, cook down some high-bush cranberries from Wisconsin and 2 loads of laundry. That's enough., The rest will have to wait!.

[@clayconquer1694]

Hey Pete, hello from central Ontario. I believe the bush that escapes your memory is a barberry. I remember planting those while working for a landscape company in between university semesters years back. Your videos have always brought me peace and I enjoy watching the ‘goings on’ at your farm. Thank you for giving us a window into your life

[@hayfork100]

I have never forgotten what our Minister said about my grandfather after he passed away. He said the thing he remembered most about him was that he was so contented with his station in life. I have tried to be the same way and have found it to be a very comfortable position.

Peaceful, relaxing, no stress kinda day...

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Thank you Sandra!

[@johncourtneidge]

Very nice, thank-you both, always. Nothing beats seeing stock enjoying their grub! Happiness is contribution is contentment. Hence the politics that I do.

[@njhdreams2415]

The bush's name is Barberry. They come in different colors. Very nice outdoor area to your home!!

[@chrismorgan6898]

Life on a farm is not just animals. House and yard maintained too. Every thing is as important as the next. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeankipper6954]

How much I appreciate you, your family and work. The peace of heart and mind you are creating and sharing. Thank you.

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Nice video Pete, Hilary. Different times in our lives requires different paces of life. Thanks for the video. Have a great week.

[@joeldavis8851]

The Dexters seem to have several advantages. Smaller, hardy, relatively easy to handle. And they dress out fairly well. An average person with a deep freezer can put a couple hundred pounds of Dexter beef in there. Not so much with the huge Simmental your family used to raise. Hard to find space for 550 to 700 pounds of meat. 🙂

[@LoreGordon]

Dear Pete and Hilario, Contentment comes from watching your videos and savoring your daily victories ! Congrats on four new members of the herd, more to follow- ❤🎉

[@robertrohler3644]

I liked the bench talk with Pete and Hillarie.

[@stevenstrassberg3776]

Congratulations Pete and Hillary, they are so very beutiful.

[@jpf9632]

Pete, the red bush is bayberry. Red leaves, little thorns, you can cut it back pretty hard.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I love the feeling I'm left with after your videos. I'm so relaxed and peaceful afterwards. Taking time to smell the flowers is definitely definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing your day and I'll see you later.

[@yvonnejarvie4683]

Pete, the name of that bush is Barberry . Cute calves !

[@susieb9533]

I like to hit that like button before I watch the video because I know It'll be another good one👍

[@matthewtaylor2185]

I couldn't agree more about a more natural pruning of bushes. I used to do the perfect cube and ball thing, but as I got older, I like landscape that looks "easy around the edges " for lack of better description. My family thinks I've turned into a slob because I no longer favor rigid landscaping and baseball field mowing stripes.

[@Trezker]

There are many ways to do the math of life and it's easy to make the numbers show that you need more. But you can also make the numbers show that you have enough.

I find contentment in digging in the dirt. My soul, heart, and mind needs it and it centers me. Thank you both Pete and Hil for sharing your day.

[@Ralphcanoeingadventures]

Hi Pete. I liked you showing the cows. Watching your videos, really relaxes me. Thank you 😊 I have a small UT channel. Not a farmer. But learn a lot on how to edit and make videos.

[@leciashronce6483]

The farm and calves are looking great! The burgundy bush is Barberry.

[@mokpot]

Welcome to enlightenment and wisdom... Contentment

[@parnellbeth]

That yard work was so satisfying while I sat in my armchair drinking coffee. lol Really I had on idea that patio area had a view of the chicken yard, I would never move from there. I think I am a bit older than you guys and getting ready to transition into retirement or semi retirement. Finding new routines and a slower pace is in my future.

[@cstevens1564]

Pete I believe the shrub that you were looking for the name for is a Nandina, or they call it firebush

[@EFChapin]

It’s always a good day on the farm for us! Thanks!!

[@LauraDittman]

Precious time to see in life newborn animals-in this case, baby calfs👍Delivery is a stressful time. Once that calf is born the mother get's up and starts taking care of her baby, cows are miraculous!!! Passion is the most important characteristic you need for Ranching, Farming or work. being committed to devoting your time and effort to it, you find pleasure in ever little success ( U R successful Pete) and it makes you smile😁

[@davidj6704]

Pete, I believe the bush is Japanese Barberry. A species of the salmon barberry.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

I do miss seeing the baby piggy's being born. I understand tho. Contentment is a good thing.

[@rmoutdoors6400]

Thanks Pete. Your closing thoughts definitely hit home. Its hard to not feel behind all the time. Sometimes you just need to sit back and enjoy

[@blakebrandt8147]

Pete those bushes are bar berry bushes! Very annoying to trim, but grow like weeds! I work for a lawncare business and I’ve had my share of trimming those! Lots of fun too!
