Did I Accomplish My Goals This Year?

[@tmichael_54]

Sorry if your pride was hurt this year but you get an A on keeping us entertained. Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@tomnelson3362]

Michael, well said!!!!

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Showing which goals you achieved is awesome, but you've done so very much more. Enjoy your videos.

[@megd7593]

You’re one of the hardest working and most resourceful people I watch on KZbin! Giving yourself 50% is seriously cutting yourself short… you’ve done so many more things that didn’t make it on the official list. And you EXPLAIN things so that even non-farmers can understand. I think you’re doing a spectacular job!

[@Julia_Teeker]

Amen! 👏❤️

[@ShainCaldwell]

Could not agree more!😎👍🏼

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Chickens following the cattle is the usual system. The idea is to have the chickens clear out the bug eggs and larvae. They also spread the cattle manure to find those larvae etc.

[@theresateegarden9147]

They also continue to add chicken manure which fertilizes the grass in the pastures.

[@johnnymac3737]

Callie just cracks me up- living a dog’s best life and loving it❤. Looking forward to another year of your videos. Hoping your Christmas was a good one for you and your family.

[@jefflundberg8068]

The new loading chute will be huge. A beautiful addition to the newer pipe fencing and a meaningful improvement in property value, not to mention easier loading. The chickens will be in heaven living in a mobile home on the pasture, especially on those days when it’s parked over an ant hill. Maybe a camel or two for the smut grass? They’ll eat anything and they’ll scare the bejeezus out of any neighborhood coyotes! 😂

[@nadeenflynn9673]

So many more things accomplished during the year than were on your goals list. Great work, FTR!

[@anneoreilly4900]

Yep, he's not adding all the jobs that popped up - trailer sides, new shop tools that resulted in reorganization, etc. Two bottle calves are enough to upset anyone's list!

[@suzannesund4595]

Tyler, You accomplished a great deal this year! Your self scoring system might need a little makeover. While you didn’t accomplish all those goals on your list, there were other improvements you made crucial to equipment upkeep. As you might recall, you tuned up the tractor, truck, changed oil, filters and if I recall correctly, you made a very cool, new, removable toolbox for the LS. And then you tore apart a carburetor in 5 minutes, restored it to new! Your one man show speaks volumes to us in terms of daily maintenance of the cattle, hogs, chickens and oh let’s not forget how you go out of your way to help others, including your parents in the almond orchard. Your life is rich with blessings: a beautiful family, wonderful pets, your ability to nurse back to health newborns (twins) & injured cattle (pinkeye, hoof rot, abscesses) You’re not only a rancher who can do anything, create anything, you’re a wonderful provider, husband (I’m sure Bre will agree), and father to Macy and Matty! In FTR world, you’re top notch! Here’s to an amazing 2024 ~ and Commence with an awesome 2025 🎉 filled with love and joy and prosperity in every aspect of your life! Hugs, Suzie

[@dacboyz8]

Very true, and nicely stated Suzie!! ⚘️

[@storiesinstones]

It has been great following you in 2024. You really need to give yourself a 10 for content on your channel. Look forward to what you have for us in 2025🎉

[@screddot7074]

Callie's goal - find a way down from this hay stack.

[@hackatak]

Enjoyed your year of videos, looking forward to what you do for 2025. One thing I might comment on for your loading chute rebuild is consider adding a ramp to trailer floor level, we did this several years ago and this made loading cattle much easier, especially calves. Same for unloading, we also created a dirt ramp in the pasture to back trailer up to, so the cattle will have less apprehension about getting out or reducing any potential injuries. Glad you are addressing your bull pen, it was way too small for mature bulls, what you have is more of a calving pen or pen to confine lame or sick animals. Looking forward to 2025, keep em coming.

[@MrsWhite-bj1vt]

Don't be so hard on yourself for not making all the goals you set. This has been a tough year with losses of loved ones and chickens. I think you did great under the circumstances. Happy New Year Farmer Tyler and thanks!

[@karenhampton-v9s]

What about your chicken thing? And the mouse issue? You do a fantastic job Tyler!!! Don't be so hard on yourself!

[@BethFoster-lm7qq]

Great job on 2024. 👍The best way to count points: how is your livestock? That’s really all that matters.👍👏

[@teresacahlik6887]

Good job and I disagree on the .5 on the hog feeder. You did it so you get a whole point. Now you see some adjustments you would like to make so that is another goal.

[@denisebennett3144]

Congratulations on having a great year and for having an awesome plan for 2025.

[@shawnh8754]

Good for you. Regenerative is the way to go. Build yourself a couple small chicken tractors and put meat birds in one and layers in the others. It will fit right into your program. You did a lot of great work this year. Always good to take time to reflect on how far you've come!

[@robfaith6029]

Mate, get youeself and old caravan and remove the floor and replace with wire for the hens to stand on, gut the inside and put roosts in there cut a mall door in the side for access with a ramp. That way you can move it around plus layer boxs for them to lay there eggs with outside access for you

[@kazhastell1099]

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year hope 2025 is a great year for you Tyler and family ❤x

[@wendyturnbull4650]

You definitely cut yourself short. You’re doing tasks every video. You did amazing. That shoot should give you 5 point right there. Well done on your tasks this year. Next year is another year of tasks. Merry Christmas to you and family. All best in new year

[@jodiedwards2634]

All in all, you still had a great year, no matter what your point system says. I would imagine, without saying, your main goals are family first (check), better production from cattle (check) and better production from fields (check). The other goals are additional to the main goals, and sometimes they get done and sometimes they don’t. Thank goodness we have another year coming to work on them! Love your channel, thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year! ❤❤❤

[@kenpgh]

With some improvements completed now you can have more time to get more done , it looks like you're headed in the right direction - keep up the good work 👍👍🇺🇸

[@micah06v8]

Even though you didn't get everything done, the things you got done were monumental tasks. The amount of things done in the working corral was a huge amount of effort! If you want to see how the mobile chicken coop thing works with cows, Gold Shaw Farms has done this with their chickens and cattle for a while. Lisa used to. I don't watch their channel anymore. Granted, they didn't have near as many cattle as you do, but you can at least see the concept in action if you're more of a visual person. It not only helps the soil but it also decreases fly pressure because they eat the fly larvae and eggs.

[@marciaolson4878]

I still think the goals you’ve accomplished, planned or not, definitely outweigh the ones not finished! Another great year with your farm and vids!!! Happy New Year to you and yours FT!❤️❤️❤️🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@tomnelson3362]

Tyler, what about that little tractor you've got torn apart? I know, just what you needed was another reminder about the tractor.😁😁 Thank you for your great videos, they brighten my day.

[@barbaralarocca1631]

"Little by little a lot gets done" " 4:11 Staying the Course" does pay off!

[@jaclynalley809]

A great set of goals! I achieved a few of my goals for 2024 and have a few for 2025! Thanks for keeping me motivated!!!!

[@don231]

Happy New Year. By far, the best KZbin channel out there.

[@AustinPatterson-q1g]

Thanks for sharing farmer Tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

[@TerryAndrus-c9l]

The new year sounds doable you will have a better grade next yr. Lol...happy new yr

[@USSBB62]

Thanks FTR . The Weed Wiper is # 1 on my watch list as you well know. Don't forget to Wipe every other row and then come back after a couple weeks and wipe the rows you didn't get the first time. So you don't contaminate the wheels and ruin the good grass. I reccomend either 3 point or a wheel model for ATV style. Just me say'en. My opinion.

[@rawwing]

Wishing you and your family and Callie and all your cows a wonderful and prosperous New Year 2025 with great health and happiness ! Bob of South San Francisco

[@georgedavidson7986]

Tyler it is farm entertainment. I am a retired , disabled farmer , Done all this stuff. , but you do it better than I ever did

[@sherrychapman1621]

Pray you had a Very Merry Christmas and will have a Very merry and prosperous new year…🙌😊

[@carolyost6733]

Good goals for 2025! I get 200% for my goals of watching FTR VIDEOS THIS PAST YEAR. SAME GOALS FOR NXT YEAR!

[@mjinfl967]

Sounds like a great list. Happy new year!💖

[@denault3985]

The man of chores and building...accomplishing most but having a few difficulties with the remaining. Happy New Year and looking forward to new projects for 2025...

[@jeffkizer6666]

I think you got an A !! Just because you didn't get a few goal projects done , look at all the other projects you did get done !! Many more then just the ones on your goal list !! Keep up the good work Sir !!

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

Wow, that is great goals to be able to have all these projects done.

[@JBlow-ip7hf]

I'm pretty sure you could connect your sweep tub to your loading chute. Like a couple of sturdy swing gates from tub to loading chute. I have only watched your channel for a few years. Good luck and happy new year.

[@parklynrakocy-sheckart3384]

Sounds like you have great goals for 2025. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@JulieMcCarthy-k5r]

You forgot: providing an interesting and informative place where people can come to at the end of their long stressful day to unwind relax and learn about things they will never do (eg. welding) but thoroughly enjoy watching you do. Thanks FTR and Mrs FTR, looking forward to what accomplish your goals in 2025.

[@kkeenan536]

Chickens in the pasture might help solve the smut grass problem! They eat everything and when I see others move those chicken tractors, the ground is clean. Would be an interesting experiment 👍 You made a lot of important progress (regardless of your grade 😆) and the ranch is looking better all the time 👍👏

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good morning Tyler from Indiana, have a great happy new years to you, your family and friends

[@Marilou-g5t]

Manpasses and an Arrowquip are handy when working cattle.

[@loriegreene9375]

KZbinr Justin Rhodes’s has a small farm in North Carolina and he built what he calls a chicken rickshaw. Great for moving chickens every few days. I think that you should invest in a couple of geese to keep the chickens safe if you go this route. Check him out. Happy New Year to you and your family. 🎉

[@westsidesjvalley]

I think you forgot a big goal there, you now have a bigger cab tractor for this next year. For smut grass removal since you already have irrigation, a set of rakes, a baler and a way to move bales. If you had an old school sickle bar mower what if you took a few checks out of the pasture rotation and plant alfalfa. Much more chemistry choices in grass control, plus it’s a natural way to replenish the valley soils.

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

Congratulations Tyler you have done a great job,always working and having goals,I think we are all guilty of our goals we set for ourselves,we get some done but some how time slips away, well wether we accomplish everything or not you should be proud,your cows are happy and healthy,as all your animals are.take care from Toronto🇨🇦

[@lindakinsey1093]

I have faith that you will get more than 50% done. The cost of materials is already partially taken care of. So no waiting on the starting of a couple. The one I worry about is the weed wipe. Cause it is easy to put off. Thanks for a great year of taking us along. Impatiently waiting for this next year. Happy New Year.

[@cindymcmurray6879]

Next year will be enjoyable to watch.

[@praiwanhaewphet9654]

Hope you and your family have a great New Year

[@jaclynalley809]

Your smut grass and my broom sage looks alot alike. a 2025 goal for me is to try to get rid of that problem

[@jerrygibs8120]

Appreciate your sharing Farmer T. Prayers and blessings in Jesus's Name for safety, strength, wisdom, peace and success ☝🙏🙌

[@keen1957]

Tyler , the best way to do chores is to get a white board and make a list. Visualization of a project helps greatly.

[@Chris-pg8dl]

Happy New Year

[@charlacope1098]

The chickens will help with some fly pressure. They will scratch out the cowpies and eat the maggots before they become flies

[@nickwiseman7770]

Another idea to maybe entertain for poultry in your pastures is maybe some ducks or geese or both it’s another protein source and they are good grass eaters maybe they could help with the smut grass situation?

[@randyrenfro430]

Mail order beef is something I would support

[@joanbarker6581]

Hopefully you get your stuff done. 🎉

[@koleab]

I am a fan. I also watch other farm/ranch vlogs. Several of them use "mobile" coups" in the pasture. Many designs, even ones that can be moved just with just manpower, but they do not move them everyday or every 2-3 days. Basically they move them when the grass/weeds have been used up/flattened pretty much completly. Although this is not many months, it does not occur in days. Good fortune!

[@Alfred19947]

Excellent wrap up FT. I think you’re too hard on yourself. How much time did you spend maintaining your vehicles? How many steers and pigs did you harvest? How many bales did you put up? And, oh by the way, you devoted countless hours to the family. Happy New Year to FTR.

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ another year went bye❤ glad to hear and able to watch you complete them❤

[@johnnymac3737]

Thanks!

[@maryisme247]

I think you did great!

[@samjohnson5656]

Dude, the new chute set up, the tractor your Wife got you :) , Hog feeder, and all the upgrades you did this year were great. Plus filming all of it and producing a tv show. Great year. Check this year off as a success. Just wait till you bale hay in the cab tractor. You will be loving life. That and having bale spear on front and back of cab tractor for gathering and moving bales home. Thanks for all the entertainment this year. Great family safe content. Can’t wait for all the stuff you have to come! (Like cough cough the jubilee…. 😂)

[@debralittle1341]

You deserve more points. You worked hard this year.

[@KarenHildebrand-g4i]

If you get the chickens on the grass land, the ducks might stay away as the chickens would squawk at them. I'd roll the chicken mobile pen you have out in the middle field to see the ducks response in spring.

[@jrsf222]

Happy New Year to you and your family‼️🧨

[@johngraves1719]

Looking forward to watching you grow this year.

[@dibell3662]

You did great on what you finished. You added extra as you went along,you also forgot the chicken plucker thing and a ton of other small things hay tester thing. Biggest was you two worked out a deal for BIG BLUE !! Happy New Year to you and the family may you stay healthy happy. ❤️🙏🏼🎉

[@Alfred19947]

I forgot to add in my comment. I think everything is ok. Maybe did not complete your wish list, but I was so pleased when you completed work on your working corral. That is a very functional area. Ease to work the critters, storage space, all of which is done in an environment of safety for you and cows/steers/calves/heifers. That was probably your most time and resource consuming project of the year. I so stressed out when I watched you working the cattle in that corral by yourself. One of them tromps on you and can Mrs FTR get there in time?

[@EdwardWebb-z4x]

Check with Ranching Sodac. He builds pads made from old tires. Looks like a good product. Might be something to check into.

[@judishaffer9654]

Cows have the cutest faces😊

[@bobogilvie4472]

Water is a GOD SENT but also sometimes a real problem

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Hi Tyler I think you did awesome in 2024 I just love your channel I’ve been with you from day one I get excited when I see you

I hope all your goals come to fruition. All the very best for 2025. Happy New Year Tyler and family. 🙏🙏💛💛💯💯💯💛💛🙏🙏

[@RhondaJennings-xv3go]

I started watching you about a year ago maybe a little more. I was trying to figure out what to expect was my cow that was going to to have a calf. I lived on a cattle ranch when I was a child but my parents sold the cows when I was very young. You did not only help me with the cow and calf situation and what to for. But I have enjoyed watching your podcast very much. You can even make plowing a field interesting. Your ingenuity reminds me of my father who could build anything. Looking forward to the new year watching what you do and seeing what I can learn

[@arthurestrada2682]

Yes ive seen the mobile chicken coop. You can tow the whole house in the pasture

[@RobertKelley-f1b]

U did good on all your projects and u will get a lot done next year have a happy new year.

[@jennifershephard4708]

How about pouring a long strip of cement to put the water trough in and in front of hay feed area. One and done. I have faith that you can do that. The meat birds in mobile chicken shelters would be great. They eat bugs, reducing their cost of food. They leave fertilizer that feeds the soil. I’ve seen many people do this and it works.

[@STA_FARMS]

We’ve seen the benefits of pasture poultry. Had better luck with meat chickens simply because they eat more and produce more litter than egg layers.

[@johnmoore2555]

Loved the video. I also think you should share all the accomplishments in addition to the big five

[@frosty6720]

Don't forget the tractor rebuild AND catching those critters! Oh my, what will you do tomorrow???

[@Saratogan]

What if you ploughed the smutgrass under and reseeded the pasture?

[@darlenestorer8898]

But Tyler you put the feeder out to far .So when it's sloppy muddy you can't fill it without walking in the slop.

[@mikelepere312]

FRT best farm channel on KZbin. Yes! Regenerative agriculture! Maybe move the weed wiper to #1 slot. Spring will be here in a blink and a wink.

[@francismcinnis5995]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for your video's

[@monamoon925]

Love these year-end goals accomplished and goals for next year videos! From the very beginning, you've mentioned many times wanting to rebuild the alleyway and bringing it out to an angle. I hope this is the year for it to be done! In your voting poll, I chose the press but now I wish I voted for the weed wiper. All those brown tuffs just asking to be wiped out! Whatever gets done or not in next year end video, you will have hugely entertained us. Yep, I'll be buying beef if you can get mail order going! I feel like that's a full-circle kind of thing.

[@janesgarden7481]

You need a chicken tractor with an electric fence around it. And a guard goose to help protect them.

[@jimnaz5267]

good review and plan. thanks for sharing

[@SpaceForce2019]

I think you are scoring yourself short. Those were some big jobs you accomplished. When I think about what you accomplished in 2024, and what I accomplished, I just hang my head in shame.

[@STEINLY3]
