HAULING ROUND BALES for Us & our Amish Neighbor, Andy!

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

One of the nicest sounds, eight hooves clip-clopping rhythmically on the road -music to my ears.

[@ellencarver5575]

I totally agree

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Snow is coming soon. Good to see Abby home nearing completion.Those 2 years went by like a blink of an eye. She has gained so many life experiences with a great mentor in Jay.😊

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

P.S.We got our calendar two days ago.Pics are very nice.I was going to leave in envelope until end of December, but too many doctors appointments. The byproduct of advanced age😊

[@michaelodonoghue9385]

A very peaceful feel about this podcast. Lovely stuff!

[@tammytaylor7726]

Ty for taking us along. Have a good weekend. Brenda, I'm glad your leg is better.

[@sherylbartlett3871]

HI JIM & BRENDA. - HORSES ALWAYS KNOW WHEN THEY ARE HEADING "HOME"! I had to chuckle after your delivery to Abby's house & got back on the road, Earl & Baron's gait picked up CONSIDERABLY & they even cantered/loped for a bit. When you've been around horses for awhile, you can really HEAR their cadence without even having to see them moving, literally! The Suffolks' are really making a nice team, no matter who is in the traces!! I really enjoy watching all your horses at work. Thank you for sharing & God bless..❤😊❤😊

Good that you have the same feelings all the way to my exact wording.

[@louisecassidy5991]

Full day's work for Baron and Earl. Easy work, lots of waiting about. Jim, that is what we call a cattle crush, unless we are getting so correct we are not to crush cattle. Very nice video, the longer the better for me. Thank you both for this channel, for sharing your horses and your daily lives. Greetings from Australia.

[@Wendy-bd9zu]

Horses are the best work colleagues ❤

[@brendahogue5487]

Love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you Jim and working the horses baling hay

[@KenJohnston-ci9kn]

Good to see the improvements to your farm and yard. Cost money but you two deserve it!!

[@zarahunt771]

Loved "sitting next" to you as you drove Earl and Baron. Wonderfully relaxing, thank you for that experience ❤

[@gregorystrath1452]

Nice job on the head chute, I would suggest putting some slats cross ways on the floor 8-10 inches apart , that wood floor will be extremely slippery when it gets wet.

[@genpoehls413]

I look forward to Bill and Lady working together again.

[@harryjansen6789]

Great video, Baron and Earl work so well together, be safe and be well,

[@andrewmoran7353]

🤔This Video I’m amused and reminded the multiplicity of daily chores and challenges , me likes the old fashioned barter system 🙂 Jim/ Brenda 👍👋

[@michaelbissen1946]

Love the sound of the horses on pavement ❤

[@Rbbrrmqn146]

Some people like rain on the roof, but I'm a let me hear horses' hooves gal!! I always have been and I always will be!!!

[@mishloud4215]

Earl and Baron are in sync with their walking.

[@failsauceinc6291]

The smile on Jim's face when you said they drive so easily, happy Thanksgiving

[@sueboettcher]

Nice video. Enjoyed watching the brothers work together and the glimpse of everyone (mostly) else, even Pansy! ❤

[@shirleybagnall9577]

Love seeing Baron and Earl working together but would like to see Duke working with his brothers also . A beautiful nice long video thank you for sharing with us all.

[@ghythi9929]

The boys sure were feeling good, wanting to go for a canter down the road. Thank you for another enjoyable video. I look forward to watching your videos on Saturday morning. The front lawn area looks great now that it’s all smoothed out, but my gosh, that sure was a lot of work.

[@HenryHall-q7l]

I see what you mean about them being stinking good to drive, because Earl seems to have caught the flatulance bug from Ken!!

[@louisecassidy5991]

Happens when they relax.

[@Nancy-1249B]

It was good to see Pansy! From what I could see she looks nice and fat! Since we didn't hear a word about her for so long I thought she might be in someone's freezer!! 😅 Skippy is living the best life any dog could. It's a pleasure to see. I hope you take us along on Pansy's pregnancy test. Wonderful video. Thanks.❤

[@genpoehls413]

Earl and Barron make a good team.

[@chrism1164]

What good boys!

[@ghythi9929]

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Jim,a family with a very small farm with cows needed a headlock nonetheless. The wife found one on Craigslist . Constructed wood frame and set posts in ground. I want to thank Brenda as we have received our 2025 calendar. Very nice.Our 2nd year. Perhaps by this weekend you will have a dusting of snow. Happy Thanksgiving to all !! We have also been keen fans of Abby 2 year project that is coming to an end. Perhaps she can expand into an outdoor spring and summer project. Big thanks to Jay.😊

[@martyjones9043]

Jim you sure did a great job training those geldings what a great team .😊

[@grandpafischer8317]

Good thinking about the head gate chute. Get the cattle use to going back and forth, then when you need to catch , just business as usual. In my experience, anything different than the normal and cattle realize that something is up.

[@clarenceburton9654]

Love the horses 🐎 , thanks for sharing ! 👍😎

[@sueupham2519]

love those clop clop feet on the road..young horse look so healthy.nice. it's al ways enjoyable to watch chores,jobs,and field work. everything looks great for winter soon.glad you both are keeping well..great supply of handy farm toys

[@bryanhollington2522]

Jim you need a rock skeleton bucket for your skid steer, they work great!

[@PeterDowd-r9b]

Jim and Brenda, A wonderful video of the multiple jobs happening on the farm in winter preparation . Brenda your driving confidence has really improved. Baron and Earl are a fine pair of horses. The harrowing , stone picking and disking has done wonders to the lawn.

[@LawsonLyons-j9b]

Another amazing video thank you very much

[@debbievogt9881]

Oh my favorite thing. Trotting horses They are going to be able to find their own way to Abbys

[@clarenceburton9654]

That’s quite a bunch of rocks 🪨 in that small area !!

[@brendaconrad1257]

Great cattle catcher.!!!! Excellent idea.

[@debbievogt9881]

Both of my house gutters dumped out on the Southside of my house so I used pipping like that with down spout connectors to take the water away. At least I can mow my lawn before July

[@frankritenour4760]

I enjoyed the video that was taken while the camera was attached to your head (?). The results was nice closeups showing what you were doing with your hands.

[@mfc4591]

I think Skip knows every stone and rock in the field, he is very active. Enjoyed watching the video, Hope you are all doing well.

[@randygrubbs3194]

How is Brenda’s leg doing? Was curious about Pansy. Good to see her. The boys sure look good and glad to hear they are a good team. I agree with the comments about listening to the horse’s footsteps. Enjoy the videos a lot and I follow Abby. She has done a great job with the house. Randy Grubbs

[@Michael-ld2cr]

2:01 (the Gallup or trot sounds like the introduction of a song, or is it the music of Jaws is on the attacking.

[@carmfarm5]

Haven’t heard much about your hired man for awhile

[@plainsimple442]

Brenda, do you winter prune your apple trees?

[@johnpoole2912]

I have a couple of questions. How long do the round bales of hay keep? Plastic wrapped vs. Standard wrapped. And what do you do with the bales that go sour? Keep up the good work. Peace ✌️

[@neoncatfish4038]

I'm not Jim! But I can tell you they're both two different ways! The bales that are wrapped in plastic, are bailed when the matter that is used is green! The other bales are completely dried before they're bailed! The dried bales I have seen them last 2 years! And the middle is still be perfectly good! But I think it's according in what type of bales they are! They shed water really well! He had hay grazer and peanut bales! One year we bale 500 hay grazer bales. Rip Bro. Hope this helps you!

[@louisecassidy5991]

Wrapped bales are silage, sealed, disgusting but cattle love it. Dry hay all gets fed out, rougher stuff also goes to cattle. Horses get the best of Jim's hay.

[@johnraue5708]

LOOKS LIKE THEY AR OF TO A LIVELY TROT TODAY. John

[@michaelbissen1946]

Rock farming, right, 😂

[@kennybolt8329]

I think y'all need to change the name of your channel to " Working Horses with Jim and Brenda " !❤

[@debbievogt9881]

Damn both of those brothers are gorgeous

[@Grant-y8v]

Jim what is your favorite harness brand? I was also wondering which material works best for you?

[@louisecassidy5991]

Custom built by Amish. Jim calls it a D ring harness.

[@randygrubbs3194]

How is Brenda’s leg doing? Was curious about Pansy. Good to see her.

[@kevinschroeder3889]

I never really looked that closely at your barn. That is a big barn. How many cows could be milked? I assume it was a tie stall set up. when was the barn built?

[@donaldutley8130]

Brenda , I can see you with your team ……. “ Bree and June “

[@ElaDudek-m7v]

❤❤

[@toniberry3908]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thirzapeevey2395]

How is Brenda's leg?

[@bernhardpreis4103]

These bales lay outside for a longer period ? You can still Feed them ?

[@HensOnly]

For cattle, yes.

[@markalan1501]

Question Why is the manure spreader kept indoors?

[@louisecassidy5991]

Is all metal, working parts rust.

[@jameschainey2343]

Those ARE NOT BALES they are ROLLS BALES ARE MADE IN A "CHAMBER " .I don't understand why people make this mistake 😢

[@sharonwhiteman6874]

Lots of people all over the world call them round bales. Yours is not the only version of English

[@louisecassidy5991]

Round bales. You can also make small (horse) bales, and huge square bales. The small bales are often called "horse bales", because hay can be measured out in "flakes", which some people feed in nets.

[@jameschainey2343]

@louisecassidy5991 They are either round bales or just bales d*** i*

[@stuglenn1112]

I have never called or heard them called anything but round bales. If they're square we call them square bales and usually further distinguish them as two or three string square bales. I know that in some parts of the country they make huge square bales but I've never seen them around my part of Florida or when I was in Texas. We further distinguish hay as horse hay or cow hay. Remember a lot of the terms used in this stuff is very local and not universal across the whole country. In some parts of the country if you call a Horse a Horse it means to the local it's a gelded male.

[@jameschainey2343]

@@stuglenn1112 All of you people must be the new generation of what's to change the words in terminology And also you probably call picking corn a combine when everyone knows it's a picker sheller I know I'm right talking to some uneducated people about wording the terminology
