Christmas Break is Over, Time to get Back to Work.

[@markfin7225]

If you know your animals, you can trust them. I’ve never had a bull I didn’t trust. That is over 40 years of raising cattle. I have respect for them,as I heard you explain. Great channel.

[@141poolplayer]

I really enjoy watching your channel. You have such a nice piece of property and you have made so many improvements to it. All of your hard work is paying off. Keep up the good work!

[@T_157-40]

As a notice; with this type of grinding; are you concerned the tree may grow back due to roots still deep in ground? Should poison be applied to top of stump to insure it dies and later rots?

[@jefferyritchie2304]

I enjoyed watching your videos of bless you as Rebecca

[@jaguar3552]

Glad you got a little break, but I'm sure glad you're back!

[@gentleben5888]

Just because you no longer work a 9to5 job doesn't mean you no longer need a break. Dealing with KZbin is probably more stressful than the "real job" you had. Take care of yourself and your family. You're a great source of entertainment. Love your channel.

[@tonyjacobs4488]

I love watching you and Rebecca make the videos for us. You have a talent for making us a part of your lives. Thanks so very much for sharing your story and experiences with us! I wish you the best and we hope you have a wonderful New Year 2025, and, will be awesome for you and your family. ❤😊🙏🏼

[@billsears1622]

Round bale looked really fresh! That wrapper was a good investment.

[@tommychew6544]

Glad you posted today, great episode, enjoyed watching!

[@geraldosteen2357]

I watch your channel and find the commentary is well versed. The vids you produce seem to be second nature to your audience. In other words you and Rebecca produce excellent work. Understand the brake. Everyone needs a vacation and some r&r every now and then. Thanks for sharing and never feel that something you think is not note worthy. An avid viewer. Thank you and wishing you guys a great New Year.

[@robewanchuk6757]

Love the diversity of your videos Evan. Some tractor work, animals, and general farm work. Keep,up the great content.

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job glad you had a great Christmas love your videos thank you

[@TheIronDuke502]

Hello Evan. Some of the meat processors or butchers are not so honest in that they will actually resell your product while actually giving you a lesser quality product from someone else’s animal that was there for processing it is sad to say. This also holds true for places that cook hams in that they keep for resale the best parts of the ham and giving you the lesser cuts of meat. It really pays to do your homework.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Guys

[@hschultz123]

We enjoy your channel. Thank you

[@almamoore8446]

I know u r right, as we had our own wel driling and Wick just wore himsef out. Our bodies need rest. enjoy watching u and Rebecca work together, Glad she is getting her own library, as I love books too.

[@rodfair5698]

Glad that you took a break. Also glad that you are back!! All the best to you and Rebekah for the New Year.

[@jakeschisler7525]

For Christmas i asked for more signage to put up on the walls of my building after painting them bright white. So now I have altogether close to 300 of them. I like the ones about tractors and some of the crazy sayings. The old soda signs from back when I was a kid. I got some money to spend on Amazon too! And of course 2 days after Christmas is my birthday, so more gifts.

[@richardburris1282]

I've enjoyed watching for several years now like so many others and yes we relax and forget all the work you put in. I will miss seeing what's going but yes you need to plan some down time. Enjoy

[@browmvp]

Glad you had a good Christmas break but also glad you're back. The side of the drive where you've been grinding the stumps would seem to be an ideal area for storing trailers and so on, easy access to store and also hook-up equipment when needed. Next project for a "rainy/snowy" week... Book-cases for Rebekah's library? She deserves them.

[@BryanPoulsen]

When choosing a butcher for pigs this year, we did the same thing. We bought some bacon, sausage, and a couple other cuts beforehand. Hope your meat is good this time around! Also, glad you had hats in and that I was able to get one ordered! Thanks for the great content Evan!

[@bduncan9724]

Gotta take time for yourself. We will be here when ya get back😊

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Evan enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year

[@jimmieusaf-pol5818]

You're such a good guy Evan, and Rebecca is such a sweetheart...enjoy watching how you two interact when you're doing what you all do! I laughed out loud when you were talking about viewers telling you not to turn your back on Oliver, then here comes Mia almost getting close enough at full speed, to have taken you out. Funny, not funny! Thanks for sharing!😘😘

[@AV8T0R401]

Evan, you should consider making a horizontal metal rack on wheels. Six foot long with 22 degree 18" arms coming off each side at different heights.

[@curtcourt1570]

We have had venison sausage vacuum sealed 7 years and was just fine so that's the only way we do it anymore. We don't worry about the higher price for the extra years.

[@gregoryerno918]

Evan, you don't know me from "Adam". Been a subscriber for a few years, never sent anything out to you. It has been fun to watch you learn about farming and fun to have you teach me some things I had forgotten or didn't know. Raised on a farm in the U.P. of Michigan, been a math and science teacher for years, and I miss/don't miss the days of farming. It has and will be a pleasure to follow your adventures for as long as time will allow. Happy New Year to you and yours. That which you do on your property is a fading trade/lifestyle I am sorry to say. Keep up the work and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

[@DwightMitchell-zi9uk]

Thank you for the update. It's always busy after Christmas. Hope you and Rebekah had a great one.

[@theresamcpherson7352]

Greetings Evan! There are people here on utube that think we are entertained by seeing what they bought at the G-store, all lined up on the counter, haha, watching you clean up the garage is a massive improvement in the entertainment line- up. Happy New Year to you and Rebekah! 😃

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Its probably a good idea for you two to throw the cameras on the counter and to take a break from doing videos from time to time especially if you feel burnt out or you guys decide to take some days and go on a trip. We will still be here when you return ! Happy New Year to you two and to all here ! ✨🎉🎊

[@--_DJ_--]

The garage is looking good. I didn't even notice the polished concrete before. A nice metal rack and you are all set in there.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

[@randallshanks82]

You are blessed with a wonderful property you have done so much to make it better since I have been a subscriber. And as far as needing a break once in awhile don't worry your true fans will wait i know i will. I follow alot of channels on here but this is my favorite by far. God bless

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job grinding stumps Evan

[@learning2no]

That stump grinder looks like the best I have ever seen. Our neighbor had fallen a couple of trees and then hired a guy to grind the stumps, and it took him about two weeks every day for about 8 hours per day. For a couple of trees.

[@BH-by5ky]

Storing bar or tower sections I’ve found cantilever racking or vertical storage racking worked for us. Some consideration is the space needed, length of material, and the fact you normally need to bolt it down. Even some sort of narrow racking between vehicle bays works well. Have even used mobile pipe carts so they can be moved where needed or tucked out of the way as necessary.

[@SkinnyPedalUTV]

Love the Moab hat Rebecca. I did a sxs trip to Moab back in May of 24. It was a great place to visit and ride! Plus I could see my dashboard of my sxs as there are not 200 stickers on it. 😂😂😂

[@michellepollino4986]

Happy Holidays! Love watching ❤.

[@wayneGleason]

You guys do such a good job, I just enjoy your videos so much. Thank You

[@Steve.5]

Evan you have a faithful fan base that loves you and Rebecca. Y’all been working hard sometimes too hard. With all the responsibilities of the farm plus running two KZbin channels please don’t burn yourselves out.

[@NZBallBag]

Merry Christmas from New Zealand.. we have just finished out summer jobs around our farm prepping for the winter again. Happy new year

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good to see you back at the wheel again but I am really that you both took a break and enjoyed your holiday time with your families. As years go by the time means so much more for us "OLD FOLKS" and you young folks is what brings the joy to us. It is really looking good around there and the animals are enjoying their time with you. Stay safe and Have a Happy Prosperous New Year. Fred and family.

[@denismcardle9568]

Wishing you and Rebecca a happy new year from Ireland

[@jerrygibs8120]

Thanks for demoing the stump grinder. Also, appreciate the info. in how you had your meat processed & the various ways to get meat processed. Looking forward to seeing all your project plans in 2025. Thank you and Rebecca for sharing 2024 on Country View Acres and your projects. Blessings to you and all your family in 2025. Be safe, strong, healthy, discerning and successful in Jesus's Name ☝ 🙏 🙌 💪 🎯💯%

[@jeffbowdle9673]

Love watching all your improvements, you two are ones to emulate. Your efforts making these videos are appreciated, thank you. 😊

[@cue881-yo7kz]

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Wishes for a Happy New Year. The farm just keeps looking better and better. Don't apologize when you need to take a break, just take it. Film the everyday stuff, I think most people would enjoy it. Not every journey is spent in the fast lane. The stump grinder has certainly paid for itself! Get ready for some brutally cold weather on the way in the next two weeks. Stay safe and God Bless you all.

You need to install some cow scratchers (broom heads) they’d love that

[@robertconner5126]

I like your toys. Thank you for sharing.

[@ashleywelborn9644]

Could you get some seeds off the " T Post " growing from the stump. I need to see if they will grow down in South Alabama.....

[@ruadhscottygirl2480]

😂😂😂

[@lexi4693]

Wish we would have had a stump grinder when we cleared out some of 23 trees we removed. Anywhere from 5 inches to 20 inches in diameter. Really enjoyed this episode.

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Could you put cut down cow panels to install on the inside walls of the sheep feeder to keep them from climbing up into the wooden covered hay feeder?

[@kansascowboy5721]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Evan! Always enjoy your videos because of the diversity of them. From tractors to animal care to building and clean up! Keep up the good work 💯👍🏻🙏

[@karenwerth8484]

Rebecca one way I got the beef herd (200 head) to get to know me was to get 5 gallon bucket of corn on ears, find a perch and feed them by hand. They got friendly pretty quick for those treats

[@Innercityoutdoorsman]

You should build a scratching post for the cattle

[@DonLeRon-h5s]

Don't you just hate.. when you can't see your dashboard for warning stickers.. lol

[@shoutingATclouds-btw]

Use rip rap stone to drain the moisture to below the frost line for heavily used cattle areas. Rip Rap is a cheap stone that you see the state using along the highway embankments. If that doesn't work, buy more rip rap and pound it down with a vibratory roller. It's gonna work!

[@dmark6699]

Good to take a break once in a while.

[@Michael-k2c7b]

Sometimes, if the ham stays in the freezer too long, it we’ll have a strong flavor and smell😊

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Great to have you back Evan, I totally agree with you're taking a break in making you're 'video's. I have not done it but know that it takes a lot of work placing the camera's around for different shots. I picked up on that watching Thomas Johnson Furniture Restorations at least 10 yrs ago. and he admitted then it is a lot of work with camera setups and it was time consuming also. So I have never forgotten that watching any and all the YT stuff I do. I know and appreciate the effort that goes into them. thanks again and we'll see you next year! God speed. ECF

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Nice work Evan stump grinder works great. I have a track machine grind stumps. Enjoyed your video have a great day.

Great job grinding, glad u had great Christmas

[@cheesegrits196]

Evan, when you do hay next year, make some bales that are 24or 30 inch diameter. You could spear them and they should go into the feeder end and make feeding the sheep much quicker. Just a thought. Awesome video!

[@CountryViewAcres]

I would like to get the square baler working if I can.

[@AfterTheRains]

I always like to hear KZbinrs have taken a break away from the camera and comments. A break away from works is necessary for everyone and KZbin is a job. Wishing you and Rebekah the very best for 2025.

[@colene77]

My daughter had a butcher make beef bacon… one of the packages tasted like fish..she told the butcher the issue…he was soo grateful for her input…they couldn’t figure out why as they don’t process fish….some spices????? Who know’s!! Just sayin’ Enjoy your content!! Great job!!!

[@revtmyers1]

I have been making our own bacon lately, just using pork bellies and salts. It tastes fabulous and is extremely easy to do. I agree that vacuum sealing is ultimately the best. If we buy anything that is going to be frozen for some time, then we'll seal it ourselves if it is not already.

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@gardenman3]

Do not pay extra for vacuume packing. Get a home machine and do it yourself. They do not cost very much. One brand is Foodsaver

[@terrycastor8299]

Ollie may come around eventually or he may just be one of those that remains wary of people. I dunno, Evan, but with that feeder for the sheep sure makes a case for small square bales. I absolutely love that stump grinder, but I certainly can’t justify one. Have a safe and Happy New Year!

Square bales are harder to work with the older you get.
