Nice to see Ken after his retirement from construction.

[@maryvanulzen3414]

Brutus loves the cows and they love him back. He's actually teaching them how to play. He's adding happiness to everyone. He's very special, I think.

[@Ali-ct9pb]

Oh! So you’re the ones who bought Ken’s tools!!!! Awesome! That Brutus gets more handsome every day.

[@JeremiahsLot]

Watching Brutus with the cows has made the start of my day soooo happy! ❤❤❤ He really does love the cows & I think the cows love him as well ❤❤❤

[@user-ev9re6kt4w]

Brutus is hysterical. I could watch him all day. Thanks for adding it in.

[@wrldvw1836]

Brutus wanting the cows to play is too funny. He needs a bud to play with. Azalea is looking at him, like, you are such a goofy kid! LOL

😂. She sure was.

Yes, I think he needs a pal. He’s a delightful and totally gorgeous doggy.

Brutus is so darn cute! His interaction with the cows was precious. Also, love your redesign on the chicken tractors. The upgrades you’ve made really make a lot of sense.

[@davidgetchell3633]

They should get a lot of years use out of these new ones.

[@tracy2092]

Brutus with the cows is the cutest thing I've ever seen 🥰

[@keithrayeski6417]

Ken’s tiny house is off to a roaring start! Pretty cool that you’re keeping Ken’s tools going! It was fun watching him and the crew building on your property…now I enjoy watching him building on his own!

[@TheChuck019456]

To Al and Gina, I understand the need to make it lighter much easier to handle, but too light can still allow a predator to use their snout to slightly lift up the tractor and get in and attend a chicken buffet! With the surplus of medium sized rocks around the Homestead, you will have easy and cheap protection by strategically placing them on top of the tractor! Good Luck, and love your Channel.

[@4Classie]

Has been used for over a decade, didn't you watch while listening ?

[@TheChuck019456]

@@4Classie Of course I watched and also listened, what a silly remark to make!!! But I was concerned that a chicken tractor being light, could also allow a predator easy access to the chickens!

[@4Classie]

@@TheChuck019456 Chuck! ( 1. 2. 3. ) If a Predator explores Chicken Tractor the Chickens squawk alarm, Brutus is expected to defend, the hardware wire offers a measure of protection ! If Predator would try lifting to get at Chickens, wouldn't happen for fear of getting trapped under, to big for flipping-over ! If Predator tried digging under to get at Chickens it would take time, again Brutus is expected to defend ! So' Chicken Tractors being used by homesteaders is nothing new, and it is of proper size, but it cannot be on property unattended ignored, without any protection measures, cause if allowed enough time a extremely hungry animal ( bear or coyote ) could in time defeat the protection, but that time of it being ignored is not good animal Husbandry ! Nothing protects 100% but Al Chicken Tractors come close, and are designed to cost as little as possible and easily duplicated !

[@davidgetchell3633]

Good day Lumnah family friends, the new chicken tractors will last for some years. Brutus is a hoot, he loves his cows. Al, you have us all wondering what is coming next, with Ken's concrete tools.

[@roberthughes2665]

Ken said he had a buyer for his screed and trowel. Didn't dawn on me he meant AL. 😂

[@lancesundquist6359]

Brutus is so much fun to watch. If you let him in your house, he’d be a lap dog for sure. Sweet disposition. Great dog!

[@4Classie]

A 150 pound lap Dog who would yearn for his Cattle that are outdoors ?

[@NCMOUNTAINMAN]

Brutus is such a goofball 😂. The corrugated pvc should also give some strength/rigidity to the chicken tractors. Good choice. Also they will blend into the landscape as opposed to the Blue tarps.

[@oldveteran7992]

Glad to see Ken at the homestead. You will enjoy those cement tools, he and his old crew took care all their tools, well. Love watching both your channels.

Excited to see what the tooth fairy brings Brutus. Good idea inscribing the year on things you build / purchase. You have so many things to keep track of.

[@genewileyopa]

Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. Chicken tractors coming right along. I like the design you have come up with. Brutus sure likes playing with the cows. They get along so good. Was good you could get some tools from Ken, those will come in very handy for you. Ken, needs to slow a bit. He's a very hard worker. Thank you for sharing.

Gooooooood Morning Mark. It sure is crazy how much they like each other.

[@angeliquerider-mitchell2538]

Good morning Al & Gina! I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart to watch Brutus with Miles and George! He's going to be such a great protector for your livestock. It's funny, when you/ I imagine a LGD, you picture a fierce animal (which they can be, of course) but it's actually their immense love for their herd that makes them so protective of them. Looks like you've got a superstar in Brutus. Can't wait to see how much he's grown on his next vet visit. How old is he, again? He's huge!

[@jackiebinns6205]

Morning Gina and Al ! Hope you both have a great day ! And Gina please dont think you need to be perfect for us people on U-Tube ! That little mess in the shop is nothing, It's ok to have messes ! In fact it's normal 😍

[@alberttalbot9534]

Great to see Ken again, he always cheers me up.

It was good to see Ken on this video. The meat bird "tractors" will serve you well. You have a very efficient design. We look forward to seeing you build your concrete pads. We can only imagine what your meat birds taste like. We enjoy your KZbin channel. 👍🏻

[@user-ni3me9dg3g]

Couldn't you suspend the chicken tractors from the ceiling in either the shop or barn and thus keep them completely out of the weather when not in use?

[@4Classie]

No !

[@tonygrimes13]

You could, but why would want to such a stupid thing?

The chicken tractors are really nice. I think the beige color of the corrugated roofing looks great. It blends with the wood. Great job.

[@guygrotke8059]

Good Morning! I had a feeling Ken was selling those concrete tools to you guys. Are you still planning on building the big house? Olivia might be out of there in a few more years, and then your harvest house might be a perfect fit for the two of you. I miss seeing your other dogs and cats.

[@Donna-fi2ue]

GOOOD MORNING FROM AZ. Brutus needs his oun KZbin channel. I could watch him all day. ⚔️🧡

[@garymixson687]

[@moejaime2654]

ALL I CAN SAY IS CHOO CHOO TO KEN LOVE THAT MODEL RAILROAD SET

[@cathybrewer8958]

Morning Al & Gina, boy are you two smart to get those chicken tractors done ahead of receiving the chickens. Also smart idea of getting the concrete tools from Ken, and you already know they work. That will save lot of time not having to work on them before using them. Brutus is so funny playing with the jersey's and chewing on the cardboard boxes. Planning ahead always pays off. Raising chickens is a lot of fun, each one has their own personality too.

[@rayv7010]

I've never seen a more playful livestock guardian dog! I think he might do great, provided he becomes more nocturnal and learns how to brush Highlands when you grow the herd!!

[@francrawford3246]

Good morning Lumnah's! Great video with a side of puppy playing with cows. Now that's entertainment! Chicken tractors looking very nice, wish we could raise some here.

I felt like it would be Ken. I’ll bet he will help pour concrete when needed.

[@soupofpossibilities8537]

Brutus: it's not the old tooth coming out, it's the new tooth coming in. He needs a rubber bone toy to massage the gums where the new tooth is breaking out.

[@4Classie]

Cardboard is free, actually it was paid for when the contents were purchased, so with Brutus chewing, it gets used-up providing additional usefulness !

[@irakopilow9223]

Nice chicken mobile homes. I like your model of putting them where the cows have been, which helps break up/distruibute the manure. Seems to be a very efficient pasture management. There is a lot more science that goes into it all than I had imagined. As soon as you showed the burgandy truck pull up I knew it was Ken.

[@nancylitton390]

I think that Shop as set you free to do more work. I love it!!! I think of all the projects you've done already in it, man it's great for you.

[@marystrenke3050]

True!!!

[@Aleka1943]

Good morning Al & Gina, I see Brutus is interacting with the cows today. That is a very good sign. I know some people have questioned it; however, Dogs will just normally navigate to cattle as time goes on. I believe when you are out with him and you need to start getting the cattle, walking with him at first for a time or two should give him the idea. It is so nice to see how things are coming along overtime. Look forward to your summer projects. Reinforcement for the chicken trailers was an excellent idea.

[@We-Fly-Soon]

You must be a very wealthy man to work no job and be able to afford all the stuff you buy. God bless you.

[@4Classie]

And what business is that of yours, altho consider that little is spent buying foods or buying manufactured products and that is the Lumnah's system, buy to grow and to raise instead of having corporations supply !

[@rupe53]

speculation is that KZbin (and various sponsors) is his full-time job and that's what pays the bills. The information is out on the internet if you care to look it up.

[@iamslbc]

When cutting nylon tarps or webbing or rope use a hot knife blade. These blades are available to fit a soldering iron or a wood burning tool. The heat melts the threads so that they won’t ravel. It is the same principle as burning holes in weed cloth with a torch but with much more precision.
