If This Doesn't Work, We're In BIG Trouble!

Welcome To Cog Hill Farm: Good wholesome family fun on the farm!
Welcome to our farmstead adventure as we tackle the challenging task of building pasture fencing on our land with unbelievably hard ground! Join us as we share our journey, frustrations, and ultimate triumphs in this fencing project.
In this video, we'll take you through the struggle we faced while trying to construct the perfect pasture fencing to protect and contain our livestock and farm pets. Our land's unyielding hardness posed a significant challenge, making traditional methods of fence post installation a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
But fear not, because we've decided to take matters into our own hands! We rented a powerful gas-powered t-post driver to see if this mighty tool can be the game-changer we need. Will it save us precious time and energy, or will it be just another waste of money?

I wish I had the strength & energy y’all have. Turning a empty lot into a beautiful farm & animal sanctuary. I’m just glad that I can watch y’all.

[@znokelley]

I totally agree! They make me tired just watching! I love seeing their dreams coming true!

I didn't realize that their farm was a rescue.

[@carolwilliams8971]

I loved when you told Holly to grab the gas can, she turned her head sideways and looked at you like " you silly man, I'm not putting that thing in my mouth" 😂😮! That sure looked like a lot of work. I think you might have some sore muscles tomorrow! Brooke too! Love you all. Have a wonderful week.

[@valarielewis9501]

She was funny😅

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Putting in T-Posts is hot work and hard work even with the post driver. Glad Brooke was looking out for Jason and knew when it's time to stop. You two are a great team. 🤗❤️ Take care.

[@patriciabernard8386]

I was impressed by Brooke's stamina and I am glad when she looks after Jason's welfare.

[@johntatum1951]

Yes, the Smiths were really moving today!

[@chipprice1174]

So happy you got the post driver! To be honest, it's working better than I thought it would. Watching you two work together as a team is how it should be. If all couples did this, there would be a lot less divorces! So refreshing to watch you!

[@galady8632]

Teamwork at it's finest! Seeing Brooke and Jason work together is like watching a well choreographed dance routine featuring 2 pro performers. I do hope you have a good plan in-place to help with back spasms. Watching Jason man-handling that machine made me wonder how easily he could relax each night. I have one of the pulsing machines (I call it Thumper), but I cannot use it on my own back. It feels great on my calves, upper arms, hips and neck. Moving day for your babies is getting closer. So exciting!

[@ginagoble4330]

These pastures are gonna be beautiful! I can’t wait to see the animals grazing.

[@ja_Iam]

You’re cooking with oil now. So glad you were able to get the equipment you needed. Slow and steady in the heat. Don’t get yourselves sick.

Indeed.. that gadget is heaven sent. Sooo happy for Jason & Brooke.

[@barbaraoneill7384]

If the telephone pole bothers you, you can always put a small fence around it so the animals can’t get to it and then throw some seed in there for wildflowers❤️

[@ppulambe8311]

Lol... it's not a "telephone" pole! It's a power pole.

Afternoon Cog Hill. What a great machine. Definitely worth hiring wasn’t it. You all have a good week

[@marywilson1442]

That machine is awesome. Well worth the $180 to rent it. Y'all did a phenomenal job. Jason just don't push yourself too hard you got a lot more work to do down the line.. Miss Peaches🐷 is very happy with the work that you've accomplished. She says there might even be a bonus check for you this week👍

When I watch ya'll, I have to remind myself, that I worked long and very hard to be now retired, and it is a good thing. My spirit gets so excited, wanting to join ya'll out there, helping yall, but my body reminds me I'd be more hindrance than help now, the body says nope. Can't do that stuff anymore. Thank you so very much for taking us along with ya'll. Watching from southeast Texas on the coast!

[@RobinsNestEggs]

Brooke and Jason . . . I’m so excited the t-post driver worked as prayed for. 🙏🏽🤗 Watching you both work through difficulties with determination, patience and love is so lovely to see. I’m thankful Brooke put the brakes on and encouraged you to stop for the day. You accomplished so much today. You should be proud. Seeing your vision come to life is a joy to watch. May God continue to bless your precious family and farm. 🙏🏽💓💐

[@raed3063]

Wow! That was a lot of work y’all did. Great job 👏🏽. Glad you decided to take a break as Brooke said. Don’t worry Jason, I’ve got your back. Peaches asked where you guys were so I told her “oh, they had to go work on the other side of the pond this afternoon”. She seemed happy with that and laid back down for her nap 😴 🐖 Oh!, I forgot. Mildred said she needs a decent scratching post lol.

Turn around.. Don't Pound!!! 😊 Love you guys. ❤

Good morning, Cog Hill Family! Good luck with the poles! Everything is just beautiful. Love y’all!👏🏻👏🏻💖🇺🇸

[@ede-jomadden8182]

BEND YOUR KNEES, JASON when working with those poles, and the rest of the time, keep your knees slightly bent -- like they're made of elastic. I'm an expert due to 2 back surgeries when I was a teenager -- happy to pass this on to you! The other thing to keep in mind is mistakes are usually made when we're tired -- so good for Brooke for ending this pole-ish day!!

[@karenbarnes5517]

Great job Jason. Animals are going to love they’re new pastures! I know you and Brooke are excited.

[@trippinggauntlet4520]

So pleased the fence post driver worked for you. Must have been a real concern that you weren't going to be able to sort the fences out. Well done! UK here, we have lots of electricity poles in our livestock fields, never known it to be an issue even with Highland cattle.

The posthole driver is really working amazingly well! I saw Holly helping, too! (Peaches told her to tell you two (3), "Good job", time to break for the day!)

[@johntatum1951]

Holly said, " Now Daddy, don't patronize me! You know my paws were not built to haul that gastank for you!" Teehee...:) Anyway, you guys found a nice window of weather....and really killed the fence building. I forgive you for patronizing your genius dog, Holly...she is so cute...the way she turned her head and looked at you...really funny! You guys could build a road all around the perimeter of the pastures...great idea! Don't hurt your back, bro Jason...God bless!

So glad this worked but please please please DO NOT stand on the "tailgate" of the beep beep(or any vehicle)for any reason. I know 2 people 1 passed away and 1 seriously injured because the tailgate broke loose and they fell(separate incidents).💖 Glad to see you changed to standing in the bed of beep beep for the long stretches.💖💖

[@susanboyd7116]

You guys are such a great team….together you can do anything. I love watching your videos and live chats. Your videos allow this city girl a little country farm time. My Father’s Aunts and Uncles were Produce Farmers and Dairy farmers in Pennsylvania, and I have fond memories of visiting them and spending time in the countryside as a young girl. I love how you both talk to the animals like they were human…and I believe they understand you! Thanks again ❤

[@cindiagarrett9451]

Jason, I didn't think anyone besides me used 'Booger Bear' anymore - and I used it twice in the last two days! Y'all sure make a great team - very hardworking couple. And SMART. You think out and pre-plan everything very well. Everyone hits a snafu occasionally, but the two of you generally have your jobs and projects planned to the T. (Post - L😅L!) And the Farm reflects it - it is beautiful already and will be even more so when all the animals are out lazing and grazing in their pastures! I love the way the two of you look out for each other - you both know when the other needs to stop or needs help. It is beautiful watching you together!❤ Dogs are looking great - so big now - and looking fit and happy and loving their life!

I like that post driver. Amazon has them for $250-$350. They aren't the same quality as the one you're using but for the occasional use they are probably good enough. The Titan post drivers are powered by a Honda engine for $2K but you know they last.

[@GimiH1]

Best purchase we've made in a long time! We're 70ish and live in Arkansas. We have plenty of rocky soil. Now we can put up fence on a whim. We bought a Titan post driver at our Atwoods. I think it was less than $400.

[@krickette5569]

We live in Arkansas as well, North Central AR, and it's all red clay and flint rock here. We almost Never get a fence up without major problems.
