Good Morning Al. I just love your videos and your family. All the animals on the farm are so happy and healthy. Im glad yoi 3 got to raise so much meat for your family.

[@jimclaire7996]

First of all, congratulations on your reaching well over 200,000 subscribers. I remember when you were in the 5000 subscriber range. Your channel continues to be interesting. It is great watching how you continue to expand your food production. It is a bit sad to see you putting everything away for winter. Your production of a ton of meat is very impressive. You have not counted any of the Bucks into that total yet. You are still very blessed. God bless America.

[@noneofbizorjuliejt6466]

I personally really enjoy watching the everyday stuff you need to do to keep your homestead running like picking things up for the winter it helps us know more about what it takes to keep a place like yours going besides the everyday chores like feeding the animals.

[@clp304]

Maybe you can add/build some wooden skis for the bottoms of the chicken tractors so they slide easier over the terrain. One more thing for your to do list.

Good morning. That was pretty nice to watch that egg being laid, never seen that before. Thanks for sharing all you have, it has really been nice seeing all I have this summer watching your channel. It has always been a dream of mine to be a homesteader but things happened that stopped me so all I can do now is watch You Tube, at least I have that. Thank you and God bless.

[@tarasnow-burch7203]

That young man should be named Ranger since he gets to investigate the entire farm and keeping things in check. It it too early for snow but I think that all year round. I have to go turn on the heat lamps for the chickens today. It is about 3:30 am and a very brisk 27 degrees with a 100% chance of snow. No no no, I have things to do. Oh and goats milk is delicious, first time trying it today.

You could call the rooster "Hoss the Farm Boss", just don't tell Moose! It is a sad day when you put things away for winter. It has been warmer here this week, hitting the 70s so we shouldn't see snow for quite a while yet. What an amazing harvest of meat for you! I'm sure y'all will be sharing it with friends & family cause there's no way the 3 of you can eat a pound each of meat every day! God blessed you with such abundance this year.

[@ilenesatchell5445]

Sixty-nine degrees in Texas this morning. Rain and thunderstorms. Good Friday morning to Lumnah Acres. Keep up the good farming .

[@gungadinn]

Al, I'd like to see a breakdown of what in feed costs you spent to raise the 1090 pounds of meat in feed and bedding? If it's like most small scale operations, it costs less the more you produce per pound. Also a rough estimate on how much time was involved with the morning and afternoon chores?

[@samvalentine3206]

That would be awesome - a full accounting of feed & labor costs - then divide the cost by the pounds harvested for a cost per pound of protein.

You can put potatoes up by chopping small enough to fit canning jar. Add 1/4 teaspoon canning salt fill to bend and can for 35 min. All you have to do is heat and season as see fit. Saves a lot of pot. And taste great.

[@glen748]

Al, You had mentioned earlier in the season that you were keeping track of the costs on raising the meat birds and pigs. Now that you know how much you raised it would be interesting to know how much it cost to raise all that meat. Thank You

[@northstarprepsteader]

Winterizing is tough when you're forced to get it done earlier. I know. Here in Minnesota, winter came on Oct. 20 this year! I was scrambling the night before and during the storm in the morning to get things ready and the garden beds to rest. You got some good work accomplished and I know how good it feels to be just that much closer.

[@richbissonnette301]

That was quite the meat haul for the year, the Lumnah’s wont be going hungry this winter. All of those rocks in your pasture would drive me crazy. I would be hauling them to the edge of the woods so I could level off the pasture and grow some better grasses for the animals. It would also save wear and tear on the mower and make it easier moving the chicken tractors around. Keep the great videos coming Al

[@SteveK-di8rg]

You should build a cistern to store your rain water and have a pump to pump out water during the dry spells for all your needs. Build it at corner of greenhouse for easier use.

[@BearStar1]

Al, you should have built a storage loft up in the ceiling area of the new Garage Building you built. That would be a great place to store your lumber supplies left over from all of the building projects.

[@DisabledUKPrepper]

Good morning from the UK. The rest of the asparagus stalks make great additions to soups. Where I live we get a lot of asparagus grown on the farms, and it's also a favourite vegetable for gardeners to grow locally. I hope you get chance to make up a bed next spring. Not sure on the rooster name. I'm sure other subscribers will come up with a great idea or two. Did I spot a building of some kind in the background over in the woods while you were moving the chicken tractors? Is it part of the big project you've got planned I wonder? 🤔 Time will tell, especially as there are other things to do for now. Stay safe, everyone.

[@DiT555]

the little rocky hill next to the smoker looked like alpine garden. you can scatter some wild flower seeds , moth, evergreen succulents etc. there and it will look amazing next season

[@davidward1259]

Al, you may want to add RV trailer scissor jacks to the portable pig mobile. They will let you adjust the level with a 3/4" socket and the impact/screwdriver. It will help with the water flow to the barrel and even the less expensive sets of 4 are rated for 5,000 pounds.
