Ep. 72 This Week on the Homestead with Al, Ben and Jason

[@sjbmiranda]

I appreciate the transparency on all three of your channels when things DON'T go as planned, especially with livestock. Al losing George & Jason his sheep were real struggles that show the real challenges behind homesteading. And then Jason followed up with his sheep consult -- so enlightening and valuable! Thank you for continuing to be real and for educating us.

[@edieboudreau9637]

So nice to listen to honesty, even when stuff doesn't go as planned.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

i want to say thanks to Jason and Ben for attending grammas (Beth) funeral hugsssssss

[@nancybladsacker5357]

Just love these three gentlemen brings joy to me.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Good morning, Al, Ben, and Jason! TGIF!!! All my favorite homesteaders at the same time. Nothing beats that.

[@LB-gr7gu]

It's so discouraging to hear KZbin did this .. Jason you are creative you will figure it out during editing ❤❤❤❤

[@ronnielipsi8271]

Building for infrastructure makes good, interesting videos. Almost everyone loves building projects ... Keep them up 😊

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL Homestead Shop Talk Podcast videos!

[@faithrada]

Al's moose adventure was .. crazy.

[@catherineahrens6907]

Jason hang in there! Get some sheep! Haters are going to hate. I appreciate all aspects of your journey, good or bad. Animals die, and bad things happen. I just think it's amazing all the new things you have taken on since you and your family have left California.

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

Another great one goes in the archives! Thanks, guys.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Just a thought , I have watched videos on KZbin with butchering clips and just somehow changed the background from color to black and white ! Not sure if it's what you are looking for but just wanted to mention this ! We watch all of you guys channels , and love them all , thanks again guys and gals , very much appreciated and looked forward to ! Thanks again for sharing !!!!! 🙏😊👍❤️

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Very entertaining gentlemen. One thing...Ben, did you put in an access panel this time? So happy there will be new calves on the Lumnah Acres next year. We all need to pray for a girl for azalea. Putting up that much guttering Jason, I am so glad you hired someone to do it for you. I hope you all have a Blessed week.

[@jackoxenrider2886]

Howdy guys! How about a shop talk with the ladies running the show. That would be very fun! Thanks

[@portialancaster3442]

I'm surprised there are no carrion birds after the moose. Keep us apprised please.

[@myrnacook2952]

On workshop day film lots more of the people attending. Let each person give more detail of their families, farms, channels and even a favorite recipe for the pig, cow, sheep and so on.

[@brendajessup9722]

Hey Guys … I’ve watched since Day 1 & we’re still watching 🥰 Keep Em Coming 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Until the Next One 😉💞🇺🇸

[@dianaj3139]

LOVED Ben's plumbing story... Laughed till I cried ... or maybe it was the other way around!! The Manufactured home we lived in for nearly 30 years has literally had EVERY plumbing elbow FAIL!! in the walls, under the house, you name it. I never cared about plumbing much, and my husband went from NEVER being a handyman to becoming an EXPERT plumber! His favorite connection became the SNAKEBITE ... very few leaks after one of those is used to replace all the faulty connections... I also really felt for him with the deer story, We had a huge herd of deer roving through are place from Spring to Fall devouring every vegetable, berry, fruit tree, blade of decorative grass! I vowed to get a few of those buggers myself, but the whole herd seems to have disappeared into the field next door... after many shots fired, haven't seen them lately! Good Ridens!!

[@gingin21jr]

Hello U3 Greatings to you and your Family

[@DrtERotinBasstrd]

Metal roofs require a 6" gutter because the rain water is quick moving compared to shingles. It will overshoot a smaller gutter and hit the ground running. Good call on the larger gutters, Jason.

[@AZJH8374]

Just keep thinking, Jason. Sheep s--t is the best for your garden! ❤❤❤

[@linalitafarm]

I have been raising a small flock (less than 10) sheep for a few years now and one thing that I have learned is that the unexpected ALWAYS happens. In some instances, you can be prepared for it, but in many, you just have to learn to go with the flow, including when there are deaths in the flock. I really respect you Jason for consulting with a sheep expert even after you had such a bad initial experience with them. I have lost newborn sheep, juvenile sheep, and adult sheep. Death in the flock is an aspect of raising sheep and it will happen when you least expect it. You realize that "getting it right" means that you do your best to make sure that all of your animals are treated with love and respect. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, including sheep.

[@j.s.butter]

Watching Jason hang that 2*6, is one of the most stressful and suspenseful moments I’ve seen in a long time! On the edge of my seat the whole time.

[@rebekahmccaul]

Saturday morning done right here in Oz 🦘

[@Homesteadshoptalk]

Morning!

[@rebekahmccaul]

😀😀😀

[@Roger-br4dh]

Thank you three for doing the pod cast I enjoy it greatly

[@shandysgarden]

This is exactly why I love being a member of abundance plus! I can watch anything and they are actually produced films and it's glorious I hope that all of you eventually have films on that platform. Justin Rhodes is the bomb and of course you already know that!

[@josephpedone2004]

Good morning guys, happy Friday Jason have you started the kitchen island yet? Looking forward to the build 😎👍

[@DanaFoster-vl5os]

Thank you information

[@nadineduerksen6556]

You could put then on a DVD and sell them on your web site.

[@karenlemley8656]

I heard that if an animal got hit by lightning, no animal would eat the flesh. Don't know for sure but Walker Farm Family had an Alpaca got hit by lightning and that's where I heard that from because they drug it back to a place where they put any dead animal so the predators could eat them and leave all the rest of the farm along but no predator ever touched it. That's so strange but at least it might be an answer to your moose delima too.

[@francrawford3246]

Another great podcast! Thanks. Ben, you're right, sourwood honey is the best, highly coveted by my family members in your area. Jason, glad you got the gutters done without having to do it. Al, how weird about the moose. Hope you get some feedback from the DNR, be interesting to find out.

[@AZJH8374]

Ben, you should have worn green 💚! Lol. I love Moe && Zeek!❤❤

[@Flowers4Bees.Veggies4Me]

Enjoyed your video. 💚

[@cheriekreusel9453]

Al you are right Matt @demolitionranch is a pretty entertaining guy. I mean he even has me watching him dig dirt out of a hole in the ground. I live close enough and one day plan on visiting the new resort. Can't beat you guys for keeping it real though. I would love to know what tests and the results from the Moose. You did great getting it out of the pond. Jason you would miss the Kune kunes too much if you got rid of them. Ben, dripping water is the background music for nightmares in my book. Take care, have a good week.

[@MarciPrice-cl6eq]

Jason, Ben needs to build you a moveable sheep pen.

[@marcialittle7893]

Jason, they demonetized it because "they" don't want us to know how to do our own butchering.

[@elainehinton2860]

Sage and Stone Homestead has been trying to figure out the same issue. She placed her new full butcher video behind the members section (patroon? Sorry. I am not YT savvy) and that is evidently fine. It seems silly to have to jump through the hoops, but what choice do you have when YT helps fund your farm?

[@lisanowakow3688]

We got 5” of snow from the front heading your way.

[@janetmohamed542]

Jason you would be great with a scripted video. You have such a fun-loving nature, throw in some dance moves. No you can really dance people love to watch dancing. Especially those who are having fun. I think they would be great fun to watch

[@cw3365]

He should do the Trump dance 👍👍

[@jenniewolford1631]

Country is awesome

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺Here in Queensland, Saturday 9th, 11am 31C. Not good. The last few days 32C, next week each day 30C-32C. Walker Farm Farm had a alpacas die, they were told if it died from a lightning strike, no animals or birds will eat it.

[@Nuup3831]

It would be interesting to raise a feeder pig along with one of your Kuni and use the fat from the kuni with the feeder to see if it helps flavor the feeder. Might be a great way to compromise and get more weight and better flavor. Not sure if that would work though or just cut a kuni and feeder for grind and mix the meat.

[@4Classie]

So Al' when you put them together and they then went out of sight' into Portable Barn getting privacy, thats when pregnancy resulted !

[@lillianperry6451]

I watched Al drag the moose out of his pond. I realize it's edited but he did a smooth job of getting it out of the pond. Al wonder how the young pigs in your chicken are doing. Jason sorry about your plumbing problem. Have been without a working sink in my kitchen for three weeks but at least it fixed.

[@kermitfrog8340]

The show must go on. Many of the cooking videos you see them clean out a chicken and divide it up prior to cooking it. So maybe you should try showing the butchering and then the cooking of whatever you are butchering. Or like Al said do a skit. It's hard to lose animals but it happens Al lost a new head of cattle and a loved cat Jason get sheep only if you want some, now that you know more about them you will do better. But if you want to continue selling meat raise both a bigger pig and carry on with what you have just ask a premium price.

[@sharigraves3559]

Maybe it got hit by lightening. If so other animals will not touch it. Watch Walker Family farm. Recently they had an alpaca just die and they talk in detail about lightening.

[@pennywillis8895]

🇦🇺With photos you can run it through a filter to make it look like a drawing. Can you use a program or filter to do the same with videos, making it look more like a comic strip? You could use the filter for any parts of the video that KZbin doesn’t like. It’s cinematic or artistry.

[@carolynspaulding6322]

Lowe's has a type like triangular foam that fits right in gutter lots cheaper

[@morningglory3365]

❤

[@taraemerson2835]

Whatchu looking at Ben? I can only imagine the scenes in your background

[@tawannajewellmcilvoy1391]

Ben you ever going work on the house again? No taking days off!!!

[@miriamgibilisco9862]

Just recently learned an animal struck by lightning will not be eaten by any scavenger. May be what happened in this case?

[@jbbrown7907]

Ben, your face looks very tanned.

[@mindym.1166]

Sandi Brock (Canadian sheep farmer) has started converting her sheep births to black and white, and the lack of the color red seems to help avoid demonetization.

[@terryhenderson424]

With Helene taking out a lot of farmland and livestock, is there likely to be more demand for locally produced freezer camp products?

[@Grandperesdream-j2f]

About the butchering videos that get demonetized, maybe they increase interest in your classes. What do you think?

[@LloydJennett]

👍👍

[@sowandtare]

Musical processing...

[@terryhenderson424]

Weve srt up lights utilizing halogen workshop light frames, inexpensive automotive LED back up lights (4 LED bulbs in a row prefered), alligator clips or similar, automotive speaker wire (we got more than a roll at 90% clearance years ago), an an automotive battery. Over the years weve conbected to the vehicles' batteries, an independent deep cell marine battery, and the like. Depending upon the back up light reflectors, the space being lit up, etc... these are baseball stadium bright.

[@donclay3511]

Al, you said that it died with food in its mouth. I wonder if it didn't have a heart attack or something.

[@4Classie]

Or gasses made the food come-up, just guessing !

[@DianeThomson1960]

Lightning strike

[@BrendaHewitt-y1w]

❤❤😊

[@judithsmith9319]

Hold up. . Thanksgiving is coming...

[@tracyzabelle]

They say if an animal was hit by lightening scavengers won't eat it

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

I herd if an animal is hit buy lightning , it will blots out another animals will not eat it.

[@justme5544]

BTW, They are paying people pauper wages to review videos. Take from that what you will.

[@ritasnider2998]

It could have been struck by lightning most animals will not eat one that was.

[@jbbrown7907]

300 pounds of grain, enough to raise one feeder pig, and you harvested 40 pounds of meat! You are going to get rich!

[@rusty-n4o]

SOUNDS LIKE FALL TO ME

[@christinecoe1827]

Too cool for the moose to rot fast , when it starts to rot, creatures will come.

[@DMC53]

I have heard that animals killed by lightning will not be eaten by other animals

[@isnoo1]

🤣🥰🤣🥰🤣🥰🤣🥰

[@kkeenan536]

Jason, would you make more $ if you just sold the piglets, instead of raising for meat??

[@5GreenAcres]

Al, Could coyotes have surrounded the moose in your pond and it died of exhaustion? I would never call the DNR about anything. Ben, I think you need to feed your pigs more!

[@vinceplesnicar8180]

You Tube will keep showing it and collect the ad revenue from your videos. They are hippocrates

[@amagsino7167]

1st

[@markbaumgardner3760]

If Elon Musk buys KZbin Jase, that demonetizing might go away....
