I must get rid of my ROOSTERS

[@portablejesus]

Get rid of the Jimson weed ASAP. Highly toxic to a number of farm animals.

[@colecolettecole]

i have eaten jimson seeds to get high & it worked ~ very danderous tho as not knowing how much is too much ~

[@teresabrewer2661]

The Jimson weed...if you don't pull that out it will spread all over where you use it as a mulch or in your compost 🌿🌿🌿

[@JoanieBC]

Or where the birds sneak out and poop. Maybe even the goats, too, because you know they ate some. Plus Toby and Abby getting stuff stuck in their coats. Ugh. So many ways for it to spread! Grrrr!

[@teresabrewer2661]

@@JoanieBC Yep it's an awful plant

[@flyingpigpreserve8562]

If you don't get that Jimson weed out of there it will be all over your farm. The seeds will be in your deep bedding and when you put that into beds it will spread. Just my thoughts on invasive plants. Peace from WV

[@AzaraAngelina]

Name suggestion for the new rooster: JOHN SNOW, because winter is coming.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

Or how about "Winter", or Snowy",

[@JoanieBC]

Jon Snow. No H. Of course, Morgan will always need to use an accent to call him because Jon Snow only listens to people with accents.

[@missstogib]

Definitely remove that plant before it gets it's seeds out, it spreads soooo so fast that it becomes a problem

The burr on your cap is a great addition to the farming wardrobe. I thought it was a new mic.

"The goats don't mind the stairs; they even seem to like them." Dude. 😆 They're goats! You should build them an agility course to keep them occupied so they don't bang on the doors and do other destructive things.

[@MrThedrachen]

I don't know much about goats, but my top 2 goat facts are: Goats will climb anything and will eat anything. Stairs are practically their natural habitat.

[@barrandilltanathlas1177]

I wish you continued prosperity and love from your adorable pups.

[@diceportz7107]

I'd get rid of that jimson weed asap. Do you want this to get out in your pastures and kill your cattle? And please don't think it would never happen. You have birds that roam in the pastures and that is the start of the spread.

[@bkm2797]

Excellent reminder!👍

[@lisadavis9485]

I second this!

[@generaltim494]

also any cherry tree in there grazing area (cherry leaves are toxic to cattle)

[@FeedMeSalt]

This. Just 3-5 pounds of wilted black charry leafs can be lethal for a 1200 pound cow. I found this out as a boy in Ontario, we would drop trees into the pasture for harvesting lumber and the cattle would strip them clean. We lost two heffers in the same 6 hour window once. Vet came out and walked our property line. It was the damn charry trees. We dropped 6 of them. Grandpa proceeded to sell that entire sqaure mile to some amish boys who clear cut the hole area. We never let cattle near that shit again.

[@WildwoodTV]

I agree, it also appeared in my garden (from UK chicken feed?) - can cause a rash too, so I wore gloves to remove it👍

[@coryart]

Some dogs will eat out of their typical diet because they don't want to miss out on "treats". My friends got a new dog that loved vegetables. Their older dog hated vegetables, but she forced herself to like carrots so she didn't miss out when those "treats' were given.

[@nodigBKMiche]

I was thinking that the geese make the food look so good, that she wants some too😂😂

[@MrThedrachen]

I wonder if that's what is going on when one of my cats eats milkbones. Never had that problem with dogs. My mutt would watch my pibble eat eggs and he clearly thought she was an idiot for enjoying something so gross.

Thanks for showing the Celsius. Appreciate it.

[@nicsxnin6786]

I’m trying to learn Celsius without looking up conversion so I enjoy it too.

[@Kymberlee_W]

​@@nicsxnin6786a quick and dirty way to convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit is this. Ex: 20°C to °F. Double the C (20+20=40) Take the answer (40) and add 30 (40 + 30 =70). Now, it isn't exactly but unless you can do complicated multiplication and division in your head this is the best way. It also works in reverse divide by 2 and subtract 30. On my flight to Australia - when I moved from the USA to Australia in 2005 - I met a nice guy who told me that trick. Again, it isn't exactly but so much easier on my brain. I have dyscalculia so I can barely manage simple addition and subtraction, thank god for calculator apps.

[@dagmarfrerking2235]

​@@Kymberlee_W...or I can look it up on the unit conversion app on my phone and get the exact answer...

[@terrybialowas2641]

@@Kymberlee_W when I was taking a psychology class about 15 years back or so I had to write a paper about a disability and I actually wrote about dyscalculia, I remember this as my daughter and I both struggled with math so when I found out that there was really a math disability I had to write about it.

[@dæmnKris]

@@Kymberlee_W I think it much easier to just learn the basics rather than trying to convert fahrenheit. Just knowing that 0c is freezing, -30 is bitterly cold and +30 is a hot summer day is enough to get the general idea.

A big pile of rocks would help the goats wear their hooves down faster.

Chubby Checker That rooster looks like a checkerboard.

[@IbelongtoJesus.]

He's not chubby though. How about "Winter"

[@CrzyMan_Personal]

The door was definitely broken from the inside. The lock held that last plank in place as they pushed on the door. So, the lock is what ripped off the plank, not the goats XD. The fix is simple. Attach the lock to the "outside" so it'd have to rip *through* the other planks (like attaching it to the horizontal planks). If you play the clip from @4:00 to @4:05 in reverse, I think it pretty clearly shows how it would have played out.

[@allisonhall583]

When I was growing up on our farm 76 years ago, I had a pet Barred Rock rooster named Sammy Sue. What a grand bird he was. 🐔

[@lisadavis9485]

@allisonhall583 I love them! Plymouth barred rocks❤️. As a little kid we had to cull our flock. Too many roosters. I didn't understand this. As Mom was culling, I was crying. Begging, she let me keep two roosters. I saved Jimmy and Johnny. I didn't eat chicken for four years. I loved those two roosters.

[@kerrypitt9789]

I love your show and really do enjoy it. I grew up farming but I also know I did not enjoy the butchering. I'm sorry it was always a quiet day. As children we were always aware, but still it was uneasy. I just hope their ends are quick and go to great meals and appreciative customers.

There is a couple who trim goat and pig hooves that travel from state to state. You have to prebook them. Now while their hooves might be fine right now, the goats may require it in the future so it might be worth seeing if and when they visit your state. If you reach out to Cog Hill Family Farm they'll be able to give you the trimmers details, as they use them.

For the door, it looks to me like the goats rammed it from the inside on the second-board-over. But because the edge board was latched to the wall (and not taking the goat impact), it pulled off of the door, rather than opening with the rest of the door.
