CLEAN UP DAY AT THE FARM // Colt Training with Duke & Earl

[@johnsheppard50]

The days don't matter but I'm always waiting for the next one!

[@michaelstickland5854]

Me too

[@Mary-F]

Maybe Monday and Thursday? That gives you a 3 and 4 day break between videos. Completely understandable that you want to cut back during the busy seasons. That said, I love all the videos! 🐴 😊

[@debbievogt9881]

Do videos whenever you can depending on weather and work. Abby is keeping a lot of us distracted

[@lindaarmstrongjackman9788]

I cannot believe the nerve of some viewers to make negative comments about what you do or how you do things on your farm, e.g. grapevines on the silo, sawdust in the mill, cutting grass. Love your videos and am happy with whatever number of days you post. 👍😊👍

[@janekeleher3090]

Which ever days you manage to get videos out, we will watch! What ever works best for you.

[@2catsnodog]

Brenda, you look terrific in your coral-coloured jacket. The shade suits you well.

[@valspannbauer3334]

My husband and I always enjoy your videos, so whatever is easier for you both is just fine with us! Loved this video just like all the others, a joy to watch! Have a good rest of your week, Brenda and Jim!!

[@luannbenesh8956]

I could watch one everyday! So any day is great by me! I look forward to them! Horses, farm life and Brenda’s tips and recipes!

[@ralphascariot105]

Really two videos, Wed to Sat. Im very happy to see the Amish hand william. The Amish so hard Working and their farmes so well maintained. Enjoy those grandbabes and as always farm safe.

[@annsaenz291]

Jim and Brenda love seeing your video's but show them when you can as I never lived on a farm but a relative on my stepfather side did. Lots of work as we would go visit in the summer time. It was fun as kids feeding the chickens, rabbits, and tried to learn how to milk cows. Very educational and I have so much respect for farmers. You are blessed to have William helping you on the farm. God bless you all and keep you safe 🙏

[@Teresad473]

enjoy your videos so much there so refreshing in this world we live in. I'm unfortunately disabled and your videos and the few other channels I watch has replaced tv for me, so what I'm saying is you have wholesome content and whatever you decide will be fine.❤

[@michaelstickland5854]

I agree, I feel the same, it is a joy when the videos come out

[@lindafanning1430]

Your new shutters look absolutely wonderful. So enjoy you and your channel. Abby also is a favorite of mine. My Grandma had an old draft horse she trained to allow her 5 granddaughters to “ride”. Also teaching us safety measures. Her name was Betty. She was a blue roan. My grandma moved off her farm a year after Grandpa died. I was 6 at his death so 7 when she moved. We definitely understood Betty was an exception with what a horse allowed.

[@russlong7175]

You guys bless us with your life and you should do your videos whenever it works for you. We appreciate everything you share with us. May God bless your farm and family.

[@SiobhanArts]

You guys always release a video right after I finish my work shift for the day. It's my favorite way to wind down after work. 😄 Thanks for sharing.

[@MarkMunro-y8f]

Thank you Jim and Brenda. Any horse hitched to Ken is going where ever Jim and Ken are going😅. There ia so much rain on Manitoulin that I can not work in the bush.❤❤ you are so lucky to have Williams help. Abbys home is beautyful.❤

[@francrawford3246]

One of those cleanup jobs that always get pushed to the bottom of the to=do list. Beautiful, calm way to get the work done. Thank you for sharing.

[@Cricket2731]

Those grape vines would be fantastic for making wreaths to decorate!

[@RonaldChappus]

The tile is dug in to the ground by a big tiling machine and are usually ran to a drainage ditch,when it rains the water perculates down to the tile which has holes in it and runs out to the ditch,or in some cases a main drain.

[@TubbyLadyDallas]

Whatever works best for you with respect to videos is fine. I ALWAYS enjoy the various types of tasks you do. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

[@larryelizondo5439]

We love all your videos! We are so glad that we can watch Abby’s videos when we can’t watch yours. We will take any and all videos you can give us. Please don’t quit publishing videos! Keep up the good work!

[@dennismalcolm6620]

AS USUAL A GREAT JOB BRENDA 👏 👍 👌

[@tambramccauley2132]

since Abby puts out her videos on Tuesday and Saturday it would be nice if you put yours out on Monday and Thursday

[@debbiewhite3601]

I think whatever schedule works for you is best. You know far more about your workload and projects than any of us can possibly know. We can catch them whenever. Much Love and Blessings All~Ways to All 🌀🙏❤️🙏🏾🌀

[@johnkomosa9508]

Debbie, you said almost exactly what I was going to say. Jim and Brenda are in the best position to make this decision and I/we yield to their wishes and decision. Pesonally, I feel the weight of Jim's recent flurry of activities and travel, Jim must be exhausted with all the driving as I understand Brenda does not drive while trailering. I hope the dust to settle after this amazing and impressive push and am concerned for Jim and Brenda. Impressive. Thank you for letting me piggy back off your nice comment. John (I love the Monday Wed, Fri schedule, and on other dayz, I catch Abby and Jay and company at the Ole farm house restoration project :-) )

[@gaylesmith1738]

I always enjoy your videos!! So nice to get cleanup done!! And that you have help! Just turn out videos when you can! I'd watch as many as you'd make!! 😂 But, you will burn out if you push it too hard. And we don't want that! A couple a week will be great. If there's something extra special, I'm sure you'd share it with us! ❤😊

[@billybooth3455]

I love Everything y’all do!!

[@kimcool6327]

Ken is back helping to training those young ones. Any days they work for you.Abby does hers on Tuesday and Saturdays so I would suggest around those dates as a few times yours inter twine. I also realize you are busy with farm and that work is important.

[@grandpafischer8317]

My daughter decided s cross out of grape vines a few years ago, before my wife passed. Thanks for the memories.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

It's amazing how much you get your horses to do.. God bless. I would love to see the star lite up again..🇺🇸🌹❤️

[@andrewmoran7353]

🤔 as scheduling goes roll with the order of the day brings, your mixture, chores ,info to me is superb Jim/Brenda have a great weekend 👋👌👀

[@ponygirl5716]

Earl is doing SO great!! Ken sets such a good example. About timing of video release-I would love one released on Monday. It’s a great way to start the week.

[@MrSunnyuber]

We love having our grandkids visit…but we love giving them back as well.

[@kroynenno]

Silos are milestones in time. Each year, more of them come down through aging and lack of use. Sad to see them go.

[@malcolmthomas9953]

What ever day or what every you put up we watch , you got a great worker there in William look after him your getting so many things done around the place , this gives Jim more freedom to work all the horses 🐎, 🐎 keep up the great videos , ps Brenda when are we seeing you cooking again love those little pieces you put in when your cooking , cheers

[@wayner6494]

Oh, I could watch a video a day but I realize thatit's a lot of work while trying to farm while filming. I am happy with whatever you guys decide to do. Thanks for sharing.

[@JackCossairt]

Monday is a busy catch up day Friday is a get ready for the weekend day , Tuesday & Thursday are open but I will watch any day you have time !

[@MormonAll]

So enjoyable to watch your videos,. I got my first horse 65 years ago and most recently a mare with colt at side shortly after I lost my driving mare. Life would not be the same without livestock. God Bless.

[@mscricket73]

Like Mary-F suggested, the Monday and Thursday sounds like it would be the kindest to you and Jim, Brenda. I selfishly would love daily videos because I love you guys so much, but you guys need to do what fits your schedules best. Even if that means one video a week. I really want you to keep enjoying putting videos out without burning yourselves out. Much love from this central Texas mom!❤❤❤ #prayforisrael

[@brendaramos-root6891]

Monday and Friday would be great . Thanks for sharing your farming life, this time of year is very interesting . Have a wonderful week.

[@berniepenner3352]

I'll watch your videos regardless of the number. I always look forward to them. Have you picked up some amish phrases. You guys provide work for the amish guy and I'm sure he would like you to pass a bit of his world on to you.

[@canukmrsben]

Brenda as far as the videos are concerned, IMHO do what is best for yourself as those who follow your channel will remain loyal. Also regarding the grapevine as well as the corn husks; both would be on a lot of Artisan's wish lists for projects ... ☺. Enjoyed beginning my day with you. (From: Canada's capital city - Ottawa.)

[@DebbieBlue-dt1zx]

May I suggest a Monday and Thursday for videos, l look forward to Monday and working horses with Jim and Thursday is just a steady day before the weekend rush. I’ll miss the mid week video but completely understand workload is never ending.

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

I drove by my step grandfather's farm recently. He died in the late 60s and the farm was sold to what I was told was a hippie commune. The silo was leaning like the Tower of Pisa and the barns were nowhere to be seen for all the trees. Not sure if they were there or taken down, fell down, or burned. I shed a tear or two.

[@chips4974]

My dad's farm has a final crop of houses and office buildings .Prime agricultural land is great for house building , placing underground pipes . Baffling we can't eat our neighbour's house !😊😊😊

[@johncanody5456]

Looks very nice and good job William

[@Bobackors]

We have been watching you for some time. We had a farm in Hubbardton, Vt and love to see the trees turning, my favorite time of year. I love the way your front porch and patio are set up. Could not believe how warm it is up there, I remember our kids Tick or Treating in the snow. We currently live in PA. Keep up the fantastic videos. Connie and Bob

[@mervjb809]

Ultimately, it doesn't really matter what we think. We'll take a video whenever you can, or is convenient for you. You've got to run the farm, or there is no video to be shown

[@claireusilton4066]

Cleaning up feels so good to do and to see when done. Please show the burning of the brush when you do it.

[@Cricket2731]

Burning a brush pile makes some fantastic ashes! Soap-making, fertilizer, ceramics glaze, etc.

[@waynegarrison2481]

When ever you have time....Bad weather days.

[@janellevoigt5481]

In my opinion, what ever works out best for you folks, love the videos~

[@henrydeyoung7689]

Two videos a week are wonderful. Please don’t feel like they have to be always on the same days every week. If some weeks you get three videos out I’ll just think of it as an extra scoop of ice cream. Just know that when I haven’t seen a video for a few days, I start to worry that everything is OK.😊😊😊

[@cheryls3162]

That's exactly what I was thinking earlier today!

[@joqlady888]

I could watch one every day....maybe Mon and Thurs. Let us see Bree ...lov from south alabama.

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

This was a good video letting people know about some. Projects that just have to wait their turn. Seeing William climb the silo was scary. It is not for the faint_- hearted. I am glad he is safe. I will look forward to seeing a new video anytime. Otherwise I will watch older ones. I never tire of them. 😊😊😊

[@lulamilnickel2390]

You guys make awesome videos

[@tantejopie268]

Earl looks so small when he stands alongside Ken.

[@shyiann23]

So glad to see you all. 4 days is so long to wait for a video. lol 🙂

[@angelgirl44100]

Monday and Thursday would be great .

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

Hey Jim .... Hurry up and take it easy friend.

[@charlesvaughn9055]

One of the best channels on You Tube, love the content!!! God Bless

[@a.perkins89]

Most of the channels I watch post Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. But if 2 days is what you need to do... I'll take it!

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

Hi Jim & Brenda, Very enjoyable podcast, and I think you are right to put the farm duties before the podcasts which is the right priority. The two days could be flexible to fit in with the farm duties and or highlights in your day you might wish to share with us. Mike UK

[@davidhoover4947]

It’s ourthanksgiving in Canada

[@chips4974]

I have family in Canada and U S A .I smile every time the US President pardons a Turkey .😅

[@davemccracken3457]

I'd vote for Monday and Thursday. A bunch of the other channels I follow post Friday videos so Thursday would be less competition for my attention. Almost no one else I follow posts on Monday, so your videos are especially welcome. I don't know if my situation is at all typical, but that's my take.

[@brendastone7295]

I so look forward to seeing your videos..Monday and Thursday would be great, but please do three videos as soon as possible..I would love it if you did one every day.

[@alisonhobson9875]

I'm waiting for when you decide to burn that pile. Hallowe'en would be a great time I'm thinking. Get in a good stock of marshmallow and invite the neighbours. If I lived close enough I'd be there with bells on. Great video!

[@chips4974]

I think Alison ,horse bells would be appropriate. 😊

[@uteschneider3349]

Die Arbeit kommt zuerst. Daran kann leider nichts geändert werden. Die Videos sind Nr. 2. Ich habe die Glocke aktiviert. Ich freue mich über jedes Video, über jede Benachrichtigung. Es gibt so viel zu tun und die Arbeit richtet sich nach dem Wetter , den Bedürfnissen der Tiere, den Kunden, der Familie und dem Ablauf der Jahreszeiten. So viele Dinge, auch privat, die dazwischen kommen. Ich habe mich schon gewundert, wie Sie das Alles schaffen, organisieren und dabei noch filmen und die Videos bearbeiten. Ich bin dankbar für jedes Video von Ihnen, egal an welchem Tag, egal ob an festen Terminen.Ich warte einfach ab, bis ein Video kommt 😊. Bitte überarbeiten Sie sich nicht mit den Videos, schalten Sie einen Gang zurück! Wir werden leider alle nicht jünger. Gott sieht, wieviel Sie sich für das Gute engagieren! Sie zeigen einen Weg, den die meisten Menschen leider nicht mehr kennen. Sie zeigen und erhalten altes Wissen, das in Zukunft wieder mehr Bedeutung und Anerkennung haben wird. Davon bin ich überzeugt. Ihre Kraft gutes zu tun, Vorbild zu sein für die Jugend soll noch lange erhalten bleiben! Weiterhin viel Erfolg , Gesundheit und Alles Gute ❣🙏

[@debbievogt9881]

We haven't had a frost here yet either but the rain sure is cold. (Rochester)

[@JuneSmith-pk4zc]

Please do a demonstration of making a grapevine wreath!! Thank you ahead of time.

[@kennethcross5572]

Monday and Friday would be good ❤❤❤

[@Nancy-1249B]

I want 5 videos a week!!❤😂😊

[@murielsmith7540]

Hello from Vermont. I notice that your Amish Helper's buggy there, where is his horse/horses? He's a good helper. Enjoy your video even though I have been around farmers where I am from in Vermont. It's still nice to see you doing so well. Your grandchildren are sooo lucky to learn and enjoy the farm like they do. Thank your for sharing.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Wow when they come down the area looks good

[@gerryspang5917]

Love to watch your videos, do the best you can. Blessings.

[@dennisjoyner8569]

Hi . Was thinking about getting the family heirloom down . Then install above where all the horses go in and out ! Just a thought. Love all you show and do !!!

[@garyfeltus9801]

Abby does her videos on Tuesday and sat. Do your two on Monday Thursday.

[@danamelby4090]

Looks nice with grape vines gone! Thanks for sharing love your videos

[@richardboyd3407]

Truely enjoying all of the videos thank you very much for sharing

[@terrythomas7035]

I wish they would make a sleep loop of horses walking on blacktop

[@terrythomas7035]

So cute the babies met

[@kentcorbett5436]

Thank you for producing the videos. I really like seeing you Monday, Wednesday, Friday. If you were to drop back to 2 videos a week, I would Miss you but I also would prefer the Monday Wednesday schedule. Because then we get Abbey on Tuesday and Saturday. So once again, thanks for owners. The everyday happenings on the farm

[@LivelihoodFarm2023]

I like 3 a week, it keeps me going throughout the week. That being said, you guys need to do what’s best for you guys, if 2 is what works best for you then 2 is what we’ll watch and enjoy just the same.

[@fredschwede9764]

your colt sure looks good , nice calm quiet work horse which I found when I was logging was so much easier to work with than one that was too hot. probably grow up to make a super good horse to work with, they are sometimes a little difficult to find , but when you do it's great.

[@robertguidry4577]

William shore seems to be a very conscientious hard worker.

[@bevjane7245]

It is great you have use for grave vines Brenda! It is a battle here to keep up with neighbors vines that grow up into trees on property lines. Have to let them dry out, cut them up .. town won't take them .. I don't burn anything out in the yard. BUT MAYBE I'll try making a wreath one o' these days. Thanks for great idea 😁

[@bevjane7245]

grape

[@louisecassidy5991]

The sled is good for training, easier to load and takes much more than pickup, load not heavy, youngster getting worked, Ken the coacher wondering when all this colt training is gonna end but he's a good ol' boy, doing a great job as second in charge, Jim being the leader. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone, using the horses wherever he possibly can. Greetings from Australia.

[@michaelnancyamsden7410]

I love your videos What is best for you is great. I love seeing the horses. The colts and Bree Baron is a handsome horse!. Love them all.

[@robert12345678912312]

It is good to see positive, healthy work and good living habits working manually to get things done. It is wonderful to share workloads with neighbors. The #goodlife.🌟🌟🌟🌟😊😊

Brenda we had a light frost Monday here 60 miles north of St. Louis.

[@rodneywroten2994]

looks great

[@steves.7872]

The little bit I've seen of the house looks really nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrVTer]

Jim, you need a grapple bucket for your skid steer. It would be handy in the woods too

[@chips4974]

MrVTer How much does a grapple bucket cost? Maybe you could start a go fund me campaign and buy one for Jim . Jim will buy new machinery ( Bale wrapper ) example . But there is only so much money in that envelope to be spent each year .😊

[@russlong7175]

When i worked on a farm in the 60s i would climb up an interior ladder twicea day to theow down silage. In the qinter it froze on the exterior wall. A long time ago

[@randybutler4772]

Interesting explanation. Thank you for sharing.

[@alvinmercer8554]

I love and look forward to your videos

[@grandpafischer8317]

It's been years since I've been in a silo, back in the 60's. Yes it can be scary.

[@edwardbonner9365]

We are in Suffolk UK and it’s 24 degrees Celsius,unheard of.

[@terrifict1035]

When you said tile job I was thinking "bathroom", but looking at the big black rolls I have no idea what that is! CA city life

[@yourneck2]

Pls do what suits Brenda and yourself Mr. Jim, your fan base are majority down to earth 🌍 we are here for you to supplement your income and those who are interested in farming with horses / depending on Mother Earth for food. I really appreciate lately you showing the up’s n down’s of everyday life to see this is important for patience in life since we live in a microwave age….

[@sueupham2519]

nest do have a lot of lice ,,may not want to take inside.... horses are doing great with Ken..

[@mercedessprecher8797]

One thing about farming with horses doesn't cost anything for gas and they work for their food I live in central Iowa but enjoy your videos

[@weerwolfproductions]

In The Netherlands the dairy farmers put silage in long pits that they cover in layers of plastic and earth. When they use bales instead of heaps of silage, they usually store the bales in the old silage pits (which aren't pits, but concrete floor and sides). The only times you see such big and long silos at farms is when its industrial pig or chicken farms and the farmer buys all the feed. That practice is being ended slowly since it's more economical to grow feed on their own land. The way Dutch farming regulation works is that technically the area of the farm lands the farmer owns or rents determines the amount of animals they can keep. It used to be determined by how much manure you could ride out on the land, but that is now (finally and sensibly) turning towards how much feed they can grow on the land. Dairy and beef farmers are working towards fully grazing and haying / feeding corncuts from their own lands. For chicken and pig farmers that's a bit more difficult since there's way more animals housed on such farms (except freerange and organic farms) than the land itself can produce feed for. So these farmers, due to new emission rulings, are facing either drastically changing the way they farm, or end their farm all together.

[@janetschmitt6760]

Those farmers are really getting burned by government, and they are so good at what they do, it's such a shame. I love the Dutch horse stalls and feeding in the aisle. It makes so much sense.

[@weerwolfproductions]

@@janetschmitt6760 Industrial farming has no future, the countryside / nature reserves have no capacity to take the emissions and effluent farms like that produce. They're killing natural areas around them. Sensible farmers, who are grazing their animals and only feeding them from the lands they own / rent, have far lower emissions than farmers that feed their stock extra feed from overseas or from other areas - more than the land can cope with. It's fine if famers produce extra manure that then goes to crop farmers in the neighbourhood so they don't have to use artificial fertilizer, but we're literally exporting shit to third world countries because we got too much of it. In ships. In bulk. It's not so much getting burned by the government. Farmers' rights end where nature reserves and the rights to a non-polluted environment for civilians start. If the farmers still did farming without strict regulations, the ditches wouldn't have clean water full of wildlife and with berms full of indigenous plants, but just dead standing sewer water from the excess manure spread on the land, like they did in the 80's. Many farms are succesfull and make a good living with all the different regulations. Like Jim they have often diversified - have small campsites, multiple species of livestock, their own creamery / dairy shop, a Bed and Breakfast or short-stay apartments in an old disused but renovated barn, etc. There's a few that refuse to change and then do dangerous stuff with heavy farming equipment against politicians and civilians. Like pulling over fencing at a busy intersection which nearly hit several pedestrians and cyclists, or injuring a police horse trying to block a too-narrow road the farmers weren't allowed to go down during a protest. Or nearly crushing people when trying to drive a tractor through the front door of a government building. Or heaping piles of rubbish (manure, bricks, wooden beams, and old barbed wire) on the exits of motorways, causing unsuspected drivers to crash. This all happened in my province two years ago when some farmers started 'protesting' new regulations about emissions.

[@janetschmitt6760]

I am so over governments, regulation, and the fake religion of the environment. Follow the money behind behind politicians, government intrusion, regulation and faulty statistics, and, you'll find an globalist agra business.

[@christruax270]

Do Duke and Earl walk at the same pace. If they do it will make them a good team
