[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Yea! Thanks Joe ! I always enjoy your videos! Thank you ! Have a blessed weekend!

[@AZJH8374]

You can show milking your cow 10 times a day Joe!❤❤❤

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Joe and Melissa, you all are working hard and eating good. Thanks for showing the old wood stove fired up and cooking , sure warms the soul. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@lynnsenger9950]

Joe - "Just don't eat it all." Mesa - 🍻 The way you interact with the animals just shows how much of a kindhearted person you are. Grateful for your videos, Joe.

Oh, Festus peeking around the door is SO CUTE ! ❤❤❤

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

Festus is gonna be gone in time, breaks my heart, I could never be a farmer, we have20 free range ckns here, they live their life, pets, no eating them here, nope, like I said, I’d be a shitty farmer😔

[@chefeddie6164]

Seeing all this makes me appreciate how much work goes into a gallon of milk. Keep living the good life Joe.

[@anna13lak]

I’ve noticed Mesa has put on a few more inches since she’s become your cow…she’s looking pretty happy ❤😂

[@dianajones7999]

Joe takes good care of his livestock !

[@sandrasherritt9708]

I find it so cute how sociable cows are. They are getting to know you now! And they seem quite curious, comfortable and happy! NICE!

[@RichardL7836]

Mother nature is trying to keep the warmer weather around. A couple of frosty mornings is just the beginning of course.

[@helenkelly6444]

My daughter and I always joke about getting a cow because we drink tons of milk per day. We love milk! I love watching Mesa! ❤❤❤she's so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️! And sweet!

[@houstontexas4658]

Mesa has become the star of your channel, she needs her own KZbin!

[@timpartlow6321]

Yeah go Mesa she's been so good awesome gal

If you can get a second hand pro or semi pro woodsplitter with a bigger table and a loglift, that would reduce the pressure on your hernia. The added advantage would be that these splitters usually are a lot faster than the boxstore splitter you are using now. another option would be to roll the logs in the bucket of the farmall and lift the bucket to the height of the splitter, that would reduce your lifting by hand and give you a bigger working area at the splitter. I know you are very busy but maybe you can work toward the goal of splitting your firewood a year in advance. Espewcially your oak firewood will not be dry enough to be burned with good efficiency this year. That usually takes over a year to dry after splitting (rule of thumb is one inch per year from the outside in which is why splitting it small reduces the frying time). It will often burn when it is not seasoned, and it will burn longer, but a lot of the heat is lost to evaporating the moisture in the wood, in the end it will result in less heat available for heating.

pro tip from a dairy farmer, flip the tit cup that isn't being used on top of the claw will increase weight on the claw, it hitting the ground is taking weight off from it, just talking from experience, good job being a new dairy man

[@sissuesace1724]

Hey guys.....try using saw dust as bedding for warmth. They don't eat it! You need about 4 in. thick bed...or more is better.

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Awsome video

[@francinechretien1454]

Thinking that the cow loves the taste of the bar oil .....look at her licking the logs !

[@TrangThanhLoanan]

I tried to set the mood with some romantic music. The playlist went from Marvin Gaye to Disney songs, and suddenly, we were debating whether Aladdin and Jasmine were relationship goals💕

[@stuartroland9605]

Great vdeo Joe.🤩👍👍

[@skittycats]

Cute the cows love the corn stalks and surprised Mesa can do that happy dance being pregnant and all. I wonder if there are any farmers willing to give you some so they get their treats through the winter. Also I see more corn planted in next years garden😊

[@timpartlow6321]

Id like to see two months at the tent family friends one month would be good 2 would be great y'all have such a blessed spot why not

[@michaelbrausch8874]

Joe wouldn’t it be easier to place the tractor bucket within reach as your cutting the firewood?

[@loftymcdowell5789]

Chickens i get it love eggs easy maintenence

[@CarolSchreffler]

Greetings from Northeast Ohio. You probably know this, but straw makes better bedding than hay. If hay gets wet it stays wet and gets moldy. If straw gets wet, it will dry again.

[@loftymcdowell5789]

Seems like alot of work joe. Bag of milk is 5 bucks. 4 liters

[@peggyannparkes1863]

You might not be allergic to the corn dust -- maybe it'd something they treat the corn with -- fertilizer? insecticide? PS plastic tarps never protected my plants. I always used an o;d blanket or packing blanket.

[@karene9131]

That’s a very nice cow! I may have missed this, but what do you do with all the milk etc? Also my husband and I watch all of your videos…thank you for all the work you put into them!🤗❤️

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

You seem to be doing a lot of the work the cream separator was Melissa’s job I thought,now you’re doing it, I think you have enough to do now,I know she works, but holy smokes, you got a lot on you’re hands

[@curtislackner3286]

Great video when is deer camp at tent looking forward to seeing it

[@jmar665]

Enjoyed the video. You should try an Allegra 180 every day and see if it helps. Sounds like an allergy.

[@nojnoj3069]

Woohoo!

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Hey Joe, have you guys sold any milk, cream or butter yet? Would probably help with the feed bill a little bit. Great video doing the daily chores. Thanks much!

[@margaretkaraba8161]

Re: Your corn sensitivity. (just throwing thoughts out here) I'm sensitive to corn seed coat. I can't eat more than two servings of corn (I love corn), and if I do, I get a bit runny - It causes inflammation in my gut and the gut wants it gone.. Could it be that you're sensitive to the seed coat too, and that you've got a contact dermatitis allergy (Not a deathly allergy, but something that's a but of an annoyance)? Is there any other way that your body shows you it'd rather you'd go easy on corn contact?

[@anoka114]

Those animals really get spoiled. The oak would burn clean in your outdoor furnace.

[@cchambers8632]

Since you are cooking in the shop and you need hot water for milking the cow and the cream separator, why not put a permanent water line and a water heater in the shop?

[@TonyGeneseo]

You’re up. And awake and you love you some milk !! Have you assessed whether or not the investmentS are worth it ? Equipment is the relatively cheap investment but your time Morining and night along with the yield … I think it’s an honest question. If their food source runs out or if there’s no power then eventually this question makes no sense. lol. Solar without reliable sun is questionable at best. Just questions

[@catswambo9706]

What temperature can a cow endure over winter nights? The wood shed is open and so is theirs, does it cause a draft through?

[@connieo3618]

How long does it take to milk a cow that way?

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Joe do y’all sell the milk and cream:.

[@bigtom3422]

Too much Corn Fotter will get them foundered

[@bobfarley4102]

Could you limit the number of times you milk a cow on the video to onc? I know it's your new thing but there's only so many times I can watch that.

[@fatboyphl]

Let him do what he wants.

[@GeoffBucks]

I was going to say the same thing.

[@Tammy-tu9nn]

How rude

[@richardchayer6597]

Wow ....

[@bryan7825]

It’s called a routine, just skip it..

[@HoàngHảiThụy-j5q]

Mój partner próbował zaskoczyć mnie śniadaniem do łóżka. Było słodko, dopóki nie zdałam sobie sprawy, że zapomniał wyłączyć czujnik dymu po tym, jak próbował ugotować bekon bez koszulki🔥
