I Have to FIX This Before It Becomes a HUGE Problem!

[@hotrodpc66]

Always a great video when Bear is at the beginning and the end. He's an opener and a closer !!!

[@patriciafleming8402]

I have seen on "this old house" program on PBS how they use a buried drain they call a french drain when there is no good way to attach a gutter. Definitely a warmer weather project.

[@lavernfoy4591]

I was thinking about all the downed trees you have every where, ask GP Rents if they have a chipper and chipp up some of the wood to add to the all the wet and muddy places you have on the farm. Plus you can add it to your garden area. Just a thought. Love to the family from Amarillo Texas

[@Dadlife911]

Wood chips was the solution in my head too

[@trapperwoody7501]

Bear sees you talking to the Camera and thinks...... "dad is talking to himself Again, better go bring him back to reality" 🤣

Great tip on documenting vs. Creating! It can be a struggle trying to figure out what the next video is gonna be about.

[@craignash4736]

Hey Daniel. I have used wood chips, saw dust and old hay ....give it a try ...good videos .. thanks

[@BackHomeAgain]

Aww! That would make a great shirt! A silhouette of Bear with, "Bear's the hero" on it ❤

[@susanmarsh4351]

Ahhh what memories. In summer the ground is hard and you can’t imagine any problems. Come winter and one day it is an instant bog above the shoes, ankles, calves (pun intended). Guess you may add another load after New Year to catch the gaps.

[@redux467]

You and your wonderful family have a very merry Christmas

[@twilacarson2308]

That dog Bear, just loves you. You can just see it in his face...Oh daddy, I love you!!!!!!! Wonderful dog. Faithful and loving.

[@annagudmundsen]

I used woodchips to stop the erosion from beside a roof, you should be able to make a few tons with all your windfalls. Just an alternative way of fixing your problem. God bless you all.

One thing I've discovered, when you think you've ordered enough gravel, think again. 😉

You need to get a load or 2 or 3 of wood chips on top of the gravel chips a lot easier on their hooves

[@dianep3071]

Just put them in a different pasture

[@travislockhart3251]

It's funny seeing whopper being close to the fence near the heifers alot. Have a blessed Christmas Arms Family.

[@carljohnson8017]

Just thought I would share my past experience with farm mud. U r just wasting money and time doing what u did until you put a heavy ground cover over the mud then put a good cover of crushed rock on the ground sheet which will keep the stones from sinking into the confounded mud which has a way of coming to the surface until u cover it with the ground sheet. It must be able to let water flow through it and retain the surface crushed rock. Hope this helps.

[@leeS04]

The bigger rocks can bruise their hooves, smaller is better in corral areas. Merry Christmas to ur family.

[@1AnitaJ]

We'll have to hope the biggest of those stones sink into the mud.

[@kphuntingandfishing4337]

But the smaller stones can get stuck it between their hooves he really just need to pour some concrete

[@apostlepaulvining5688]

Daniel a word of caution sir, watch for stone in cows hoofs before they become lame....

[@dianep3071]

Yeah I can’t believe he’s putting rock in with the cows. How about putting them in a bigger pasture

[@nancymontgomery8897]

I know nothing about farming, but it occurred to me that walking on stones can't be a good idea.

[@rogerhollon5009]

[@abuelitacaicedo3185]

@Sam Hill um Whopper is a steer🤣

[@keegansprague134]

I have a suggestion... I would have dug all the poop and loom or just mud out then put the gravel in the reason why I say this is because the gravel will just sink down into the mud and the mud will end up being on top again btw love your videos keep up the great work

[@vlearmoes7012]

Remove mud first and stone is bad for their hoofs

Keep an eye on their hooves. I've seen rocks and sticks caught in hooves. They get sore quick.

[@johnklenzak1001]

Daniel, what about woodchips and/or straw to act as a water soak up tool? I think you have too much water in the dirt and until you can drain off the water, the mud will continue.

[@nancymontgomery8897]

I was wondering if some kind of bedding on the top layer wouldn't protect their hooves more.

[@williamhauck7303]

I periodically top off my driveway with crushed concrete. It rakes out nice and really get a smooth surface. Merry Christmas to you and your family and your KZbin subscribers.

[@HorseyGal4ever]

First, I love the blues, and you have been treating us to several tunes, well done! I am always fighting with the mud from the rain running off the roof of my barn where my horses shelter , some day, a gutter, engineer hubs better figure it out!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Great Videos As Always, Keep Up Your Content!

[@kevinmccarthy6862]

Daniel, love the videos and all that your doing sense retirement. Fix the mess before it becomes huge is a problem for sure. I've been in construction and excavation site prep work for nearly 30 years. We always save work smarter not harder. That mud is your pain in the butt, I would remove it first before any rock. The rock is heavy and you will lose the rock and the mud, well, you will still have it. Just trying to save u a lot of money and time. I would use tour box blade, scrape it to firm ground with no mud, make that area slope away from buildings and put a shallow trench for water to flow away from your wettest area and add a piece of drainage perforated pipe then lay fabric over the pipe and the cover your whole area with rock. Best of luck

[@leokelly359]

vampire gutter hangers should work good for your barn problem. they screw into your roof and hang down to your gutters Merry Christmas to you and the family

[@boedacres]

Daniel I have an suggestion for you.I had that mud problem with my Donkey. Get ahold of your local tree removal guy and get a few loads of the grindings from them. Most of them pay to dump it. You need to get your rental place to get you a chipper and you can clean up a lot and you can use that also. Another thing make sure the cows dont get rock in between the toes. Merry Christmas Arms Family

[@QueenIam317]

You need like 2-3 more loads! 🎅🏼🎄🎅🏼 Merry holidays

[@cypressblue8877]

Love Bear. Lol 2 yr. old fur babies. Yeah will you have to check the hooves to make sure nothing gets lodged in them. This music makes me smile.

[@BillSmith-ut5li]

I don't know if bear is the hero but he's definitely a character

[@TM-iq6sx]

Goats/Same problem we had here. We had high sucess with Pig bark/ hog bark/ gorilla bark. It stopped the sinking too.

[@raldrid]

I taught at a middle school which had zero gutters. They built concrete troughs which captured the water off the roof and moved it to the lowest point and then away from the structures. It seemed to work well. Might be a good solution to runoff.

[@Maybe_Crazy05]

Having the same issues with mud here in NC with all this rain ugh. I put a ton of mulch down though

[@tammysanchez6704]

I think the calves wanted to be on camera more than you knew. Poor babies are so dirty. Good job Daniel. Bear wanted some love daddy. Lol need to get Houston and Emmy to come help with the pen. It’s for there calves. Thanks for sharing and have a bless and safe day. From South Louisiana Merry Christmas to y’all also. 🎄

[@dougz6395]

For gutter on your barn, use what is called an SST hangar. I've used them on many jobs. Perfect for your barn.

When you run out of gravel you should go down some trees 🌲 and then rent a wood chipper and put that where you need it. It would be great for the area and when it breaks down it becomes compost for the garden for spring or 2021.

[@joanhale2420]

You are dealing with a never ending problem mud. I dug down, and put fabric down. Then I added large ballast stone, on top of that I put clean 3/4" stone, topped with stone dust. I used clean stone, and no modified. Other areas near the barn I used grooved concrete. Easier to clean up the manure, and can hose down. I love the little heifers, they are so cute. You may want to check the eyes on the one that is tearing a lot, she may need non steroidal ophthalmic ointment, call your vet and ask. Merry Christmas

[@tryhardfinessedyou]

Bear is the sweetest dog ever! Hire me and I'll follow him around all day and give him love. Also having cows on stone??? Sounds like hoof problems waiting to happen. I am a city slicker so forgive my ignorance .

[@jeanburgin160]

That mud is a big problem ... lol funny little girl checking out the camera. lol I can't wait to see the girls cleaned up when things dry out. Need lots more rock for sure.

[@fionam3554]

Daniel, instead of always going to et rock, why don't you get a chipper and make wood chips from the fallen trees? The little branches that you do not use for firewood. GP likely has a selection. Works organic matter back into the soil too.
