New Ram Lamb Joins the Flock | Adding Pasture is a Shocking Experience.

[@theShepherdess]

Can't wait for the lambs!

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Evan thanks you for showing your video homestead keep it up bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Evan Rebecca enjoyed your video have a great day.

[@MN-pu6qx]

I love Rebecca's romantic observations of the ram and his harem... ❤❤❤

[@terrypomatto907]

Growing up we had a neighbor who had a flock of sheep and every fall he would butcher a couple of the young ones and roasted them on a White Oak wood fire. At about twelve PM the crowd would show up and purchase the roasted lambs. He would do that till he had used all of his Lamb stock. John did that for a number of years and he had a very good following. He was the person who taught me how to capture and care for Bees.

My dad used to sell goats about 3 months old to a couple neighbours when they had their big family get togthers. Think they were greeks. They also bought alot of fresh rabbit meat off us.

[@Najitaka]

I use a multimeter to test my fence, but I like your yell when you test yours with your hand LOL.

[@dansmith8933]

lol. She will pick up a spider but can’t stand the sight of a mouse. Made me chuckle.

[@loulauer5853]

My fence got me the other day thru a pair of gloves. I didn't need any more coffee after that.

[@LorraineDennison1960]

Sorry, but I did laugh when you zapped yourself. It also made me jump. 🤣The new ram looks happy. Hopefully some nice lambs next Spring. 🥰

[@Swanny713]

I always enjoy watching what y'all do on the farm

[@mikeyoung5211]

Preparing for winter, new records for snow and cold and blizzards

[@maryloomis8075]

I have watched a video in the past of a young farmer who used the duckweed from his pond to supplement his pigs feed. It came out with a very high ratio of omega 3's in the meat. Just a thought/idea.

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great job mate you two work great together love the video c u in the next one all the best to you all and god bless you and your family.

[@shotgunbettygaming]

Hahaha Maya was tearing that grass up!! So dark green, it must have been delish!

[@beaubroderick8979]

aww ellie looks so good

[@jerrygroen8163]

At least you didn't take a leak on the fence like we did when we were kids daring each other.

[@dennisthomason3266]

That shock always gets you when you’re not expecting it. It will sure get you attention though 😮😮

[@solarcows]

I know that SNAP sound well! I had a laugh at your expense!

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

Shocking new revelations in this video 😅

[@paulchauvin840]

I feel horrible, but I think I’ve watched you get zapped a dozen times. 😂😂 It’s not a matter of if you get shocked, it’s when and how many times. Ask me how I know. 😁

[@happyhermit6197]

My soul left my body when Rebecca just reached out and grabbed that spider. I jumped all over the place trying to get away from it FOR HER.

[@Julia_Teeker]

😂

[@danielheartsill4269]

If you lived in Texas this year with the heat we had you would have baked Duck Weed. We had a few days over 110 degrees this year. Fortunately the humidity was very low at that time.

[@leonardleveque3745]

It's amazing how bulls and rams think of nothing but work. They never complain about a large workload. They usually are looking for more work.

[@cathiwim]

I’m so glad you got Katahdins! They are a great breed!

[@billyhaddock5540]

Evan, as u know farm work will keep u'all busy 24-7 Ur new Lamb will be fine with all the girls.

[@randybutler4772]

Thank you for sharing.

[@iritaadcock2654]

I'm so sorry for laughing. But I sure did need a good laugh today. LOL

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Good morning! Good morning! Good morning!

[@markpriddy1]

Love the lay out of you’lls property. Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.

[@richardthiel683]

Thanks for the update on your pond.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Guys

[@jimbucher1049]

always a great video....thanks !!!

[@stevedrew5425]

Your pigs look great

[@johnzink3309]

thx again

[@georgew.5639]

I’ve seen turkeys and chickens lose their heads. But they were restrained by rope and nail on a tree log. Your restrainers look like the way to go. 😁🦃🐓

[@jamesdickman8315]

Attention.....shocking news from country views acres!😅 This video was electrifying.

[@charlenethomas9966]

Hey guys 👋 😀

[@helenhelps9619]

Old chest freezers make great feed bins. 👌

[@harveystephens6115]

Enjoyed.

[@jerryhill681]

I have several relatives that raise sheep here in Mi. They have their orchards fenced in and use it for pasture especially in the fall. They don't hurt anything and keep the area well groomed.

[@leol1682]

Enjoy the video , Evan you can with Electricque fence you can put thems anny were , dont have to cut grace .

[@douglaskerr6813]

Great video as usual

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca , looks good around there. You had really good self control when you got zapped with the electric fence Evan but why did you go back the second round?? Sorry about that, we have all done that while working or playing around the animals fences. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and the fun you all have around there. Fred.

[@susancarter9862]

Shocking !😄

[@danielheartsill4269]

When the video first started you said you guys had picked up a ram. I thought, Evan got a new truck and in our area most new trucks are either the Ram or Toyota Tundra. You had me feeling good for Evan.

[@teenagefarmer]

Nice work guys, glad to see you guys got the tain we did the other day as well. Great video

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB Grazing around the house and garden will do a great cleanup for you. The sheep might be good in the garden too, since they are lighter then the cows and may not hurt the ground cover. I turn my chickens into my garden during winter, since the hoop beds are covered over the greens I have planted. I never raised sheep since a milk goat was problem enough!!! LOL!!

[@johngastineau653]

I hope the equinox in the spring will be visible.

[@stevedrew5425]

I think it likes the warmer water

[@clintabbott5327]

Loving your work Pete and Hillarie.. Thank you for your videos.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thank you Evan and Rebekah! Have a blessed day!

[@joeastro88]

12:11 🤣⚡ OOPS! My wife and I love watching your videos and how real ya'll are. :) #rubbergloves

[@ireneingram1174]

Very nice

[@jeffklein602]

introducing a new ram to a ewe-only flock tends to bring on estrus pretty quickly in all the girls. We have Katahdins and think they are great. Good luck!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Strong shocks! 👍👍👍

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you

[@robertnelson607]

I see lamb chops in the future 😋

[@marilynwitherell186]

Great video, now you know how Pete feels when he gets zapped by the wire.

[@dalewallace3812]

I felt that when you got shocked hooking the fence up it made me jump when it popped I hate getting shocked like that. I was hoping yesterday would have been clear enough to see the eclipse but as usual when anything like that goes on its normally cloudy or rainy that day around here, but I went to the covered bridge festivals first full opening day yesterday I ended up dodging rain drops off and on, but it was still a good time.

[@jwszewczyk]

We have a chalk harness for our ram so we can watch who is bread and who cycles when. Rams stay for 2 years so that we dont breed his daughter's back.

[@Hellix27]

You can take that duckweed and feed the pigs with it. they love that!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

We had the same experience with the eclipse, kinda not noticeable. Your setup is looking nice, I like how your pen and fields are connected with a good flow. Good luck on the processing of the chickens and turkeys, hope it all goes well. Enjoyed watching, I hope you have a great week!

[@frrapp2366]

we drove to near Albuquerque to watch the eclipse . As a partial you have to be pretty close to the pass to see any real dimming of the sky . We were at the full eclipse in northern Missouri years ago and it did get pretty dark then! Well thats one way to find out if the fence is hot!!! done that dont want to do it again, got bit by 110 a time or so too!!! have fun and take care..

[@petergielen5905]

Thx for ssharing !

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Happy to see you found a good ram for your flock...and he has already proven himself worthy. Thanks for sharing your new set up for the sheep and the cows. Sorry you go zapped though. It made me jump, can't imagine how that must have felt. What do you still have left to do, in order to process your chickens etc. in the pole barn kitchen area? Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@greybear3090]

got my coffee

[@waynedavenport3919]

Evan those chicken pluckers are a life saver

[@bay9876]

It's all done in just a chicken plucking minute.

[@waynedavenport3919]

@@bay9876 lol

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

I saw on "Escaping the matrix for good", that duck weed can be used to supliment poultry feed. That might be worth checking out for stock feed as well. The quality of the water is a factor to consider.

[@garystlaske7703]

Great Video , even I jumped when you shocked yourself putting the Clip on the fence..Good luck with your Prosessing of the Chickens, I think it would be cool to watch that being done...👍🏼

[@jimbo16720]

Maybe a overflow on the pond where the water comes off the top of the pond instead of down lower would help get rid of the duckweed.

[@kkeenan536]

Made me jump when you got shocked 😆 I looked at the NASA channel the morning of the eclipse & they showed the track of it going from OR to TX. It was cloudy here in TN also, but I saw no evidence of it happening

[@honeyacresfarm5344]

I use electric netting for perimeter and single strand of Intelli rope for paddock with LGD and they do fine

[@terrimccullough724]

Darn, I felt that shock. Haha

[@DennisFahlstrom]

Evan, have you looked into getting a small motor for your John boat and rigging out some skimmers to move all that duck weed to the drainage area? It might not work at all and may only work in a rainy period when the level was helping with some overflow drainage. If you have a friend with a small motor he is willing to loan to you for a test run it could be worth your while. I’d think a small motor like a 10 or 15hp 4 stroke would do the job and those size motors are very efficient. They take all day to use up 3 gallons and the 4 stroke motors don’t foul plugs running all day at trolling speeds like a 2 stroke is famous for. Maybe an electric trolling motor that can use your ECO cells would be the answer. Good luck. I hope it works. It’s a real shame to see that nice large pond rendered useless by that vegetation.

[@robinbriggs4976]

My mom used to add water to the dry mix so the pigs didn't waste so much.

[@robertlusnia506]

Enjoyed watching you get shocked,

[@doncc6080]

Evan and Rebecca the total solar eclipse will be April 8th billboards by Vincennes went up this spring on US 41 Have you thought of your own sow and boar for raising the pigs?

[@stevengunter2843]

Great job he will work out for you time to order more chicken again!!

[@robinstuyvesant7187]

My old father in law had a ram he called Hydraulic. Bloody thing would sneak butt.

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@RaymondCoggins-xd2re]

That was shocking huh lol 😂

[@chrisoconnor5880]

That paddock you moved the sheep out of, is perfect sheep tucker, sheep do much better on short grass

[@bgengler30]

Get you some purple martians, they are great on mosquitoes.

[@sandyleonard1605]

Ok. I’m guilty. I rewound the portion where Evan got zapped. 😊

[@waynedavenport3919]

My question is. Was that fence hot enough lol. Love ur videos guys.

[@bige.3474]

I think he pooped a little.

[@jeffservis4196]

I live in Clinton, Indiana just north of Terre Haute.

[@elizabethblackwell3757]

Can't wait for baby sheeps😮. Don't the ducks eat that green in the pond?

[@colene77]

I’ve read that duck weed sinks to the bottom in cooler weather. Floats back up in the spring??

[@beyondfreedom4535]

Just wondering why you don't utilize your tractor with th4 forks on to offload the skids of bags, then bring it right to where you're going to store it.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

How do you dispose of feed bags. Burn? Recycle?

[@SIB1963]

Saw that bug crawling on the inside of the lid, mocking you. How rude. And a little spider in the pig feed never hurt anyone.

[@richardthiel683]

12:10 That will put a snap in your step.

[@VicVidrine]

Gotta do something with all those overgrown areas. Hire someone to cut the grass.

[@patrickwiklund2039]

👍

[@sandratalbert9578]

Watched until getting ready to process chicken….I know that is part of homesteading but hard for this city gal to think about.

[@bay9876]

As a child my dad chopped the chickens heads of as we watched. A lesson of farming life but I did dream of being chased by headless chickens, and I always got away.

[@jamesmason8944]

Not sure if you still have lambs running with their mother's but you certainly don't want ewe lambs to be running with the ram. No fun trying to pull lambs out of them in the spring.

[@EC4400]

What is your thoughts about the blue dye for the duck weed on the pond? Congratulations on that handsome ram.

[@allenferry9632]

I believe the blue dye is a light filter so I don't think it would work on duckweed because it floats on the surface.

[@matthewbesecker4432]

Would love to get the measurements on the feed box.

[@albarrie4423]

How deep is the pond? Would digging it deeper help with the health of the pond?

[@lynnlegault985]

Need a guard donkey pretty low maintenance,and don't eat a lot and coyotes run

[@TodayIFoundSomethingShiney]

Get the male sheep closer to Spencer, IN? My brother in law is raising Katahdin, he's recently sold a few
