Cattle Chaos & Counting Piglets

Our bellyaching cattle need to be sorted today! They are rewarded with new pasture after we are done. And I can't forget to check in with the piglets and on the progress of the new round bale wagon. Finally, I cook a delicious chicken on the grill.

I helped my uncle put in crates for his sow's and he lost just as many piglets. We took them out a year later and he finished out his farming without them. We lost him this past year at age 95 but his farm is living on with new farmer raising soybean and corn. Have a good day!

[@brianbabb6666]

I used crates and didn't lose any piglets. Through 8 litters. The crates just help momma laying down by being able to lean against side and lower herself rather than fall on her side. It is no problem at all letting mom out to stretch several times a day she goes rite back in no problem. Put your crate at opening of baby pen when you take mom out she backs out in to a different pen. She will be back wanting back in crate to babies in just couple minutes.

This video had all my favorite things! Every video with Hillarie is great because that is when the real you comes out, then we had a "Cmon cows' scene, a great scene where your Dad got to show who he was, a section about nuance, a bad joke bit, a section about cooking simply, and a snarky Q&A section. Brilliant - A+ on all points!

You are such a delight Pete. My late grandfather would see train tracks, and proclaim a train must have just went by, because it left it’s tracks.

[@jameswolfe8853]

That totally sounds like a Pete joke...LOL

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

I think it's pretty humorous how vocal your cattle are. Also, how you can call them and they follow you. You run a good operation Pete.

[@be6715]

Made me think about the cowboys calling them doggies!

[@sadjaxx]

Pete is the "Cow Caller"

[@fmullet]

@@kether800 then they would get killed by predators lmao

[@fmullet]

@@kether800 if that's your issue then go talk to the corporate farms then. At least Pete tries to give them a good life before slaughtering them. Why are you complaining about the one guy who's actually trying to be a humane as possible farmer. Compared to how many animals corporate farms butcher your complaint is misdirected.

[@fmullet]

@@kether800 right so what's your stance on people that eat meat then? By your logic all meat eaters are evil as well.

[@hamlettharvest963]

Pete, you have inspired me. I am transitioning from Physician to farmer. I have bought land and will be documenting the journey on KZbin. Thank you for your example!

Happy Birthday to your Dad. That bale wagon looks amazing. I don't think you can buy one that heavily built.

[@jimproud3116]

Enjoyed the video Pete. Thanks. And happy Father's Day to you and your Dad. I am 83 now and I didn't think anything about my age until I reached 80 and then it hit me - I'm getting old! But I'm still enjoying life.

[@paulbarr3981]

I love the rhythmic sound of cattle grazing and eating grass. The bite and pull to snap sound every 2 seconds.

[@richardanderson1988]

We had a farrowing barn that had crates on one side and pens on the other. We let the sows out of the crates and pens twice a day to feed and water. They knew which one had their pigs, so was easy to put them back in. In summer, we had small A frame sheds that we put out in the pasture that acted as both a crate and a pen. The biggest downside was the sows weren’t handled as much, so could be more aggressive protecting their pigs. One sow attacked Dad when we were giving her pigs their iron shots. Bit his leg and laid him up for a couple of weeks. Got to respect them. Really enjoy your videos.

[@Mtbambeno]

We had a 10 crate farrowing barn in the 80s and early 90s. 5 crates on each side of a hallway and a pen at the end of the building to let them out in. Most sows were very good about wanting to go back to their crates. We did the same letting them out for awhile each day to feed, water and get some exercise. The crates had waterers also.

[@hoberghacienda2267]

The grand entrance, into the barn, reminded me of a black Friday sale at Best Buy!😆

When we needed the roof redone or neighbors, we were and are always there to help in any way we can ;-)
