It's a Wonderful Day on the Farm!

Today is a wonderful day on the farm, and I'm going to take you along with me! Life on our small farm sharply changes with the seasons. In winter's short days, we focus on tending to the livestock, getting inside projects done, and relaxing more than in the busy summer months. In this video, I take you through a late fall day in our farm family's life.

You have something special Pete, I’m not talking about the farm or animals, we know they are special. What I’m referring to is you and Hillary’s relationship. You’re both lucky to have found each other. That is truly special. Love the videos!

[@piteusx8440]

From the sound of it, Pete has a deep appreciation for Hillary after he went through a rough 3 year period. She stuck around and helped him through it. It appears she's the glue that keeps everything together.

[@dantejaiudijr2610]

Behind or in front, if you prefer, of every man that stands successful is a woman who stands equally there even more successful. I've always referred to her by, "She who must be obeyed." No man I know disobeys his woman, for if there is any nonsense, She finds a way to exact punishment with a big Whip that is made to crack!!😂😂😂😂💪

[@jewelcitizen2567]

Wood Burning Stoves & Piglets, it doesn’t get any better than this… 👌🏻

[@brycewiborg8095]

Common theme on farms 50 years ago. ( Don't pay someone to do something you can do yourself. ) Thanks Pete.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

That’s how I am. Glad I learned a lot of skills growing up.didn’t think so then😄

[@jamielandis4606]

It’s nice to see cows pooping solid poop and not slurry! Means they eat as God intended.

[@jimproud3116]

I just enjoy seeing you again every other day or so. Doesn't matter if it is farm work or repair work or sharing your thoughts about farming. Hope you have a good day. I'm taking a load of metal over for scrap this morning. It's my little thing to raise money for our local charity fund through our adult Sunday school class. I get stuff from all around the area donated to me to scrap. Today I have already on my truck an old oven, and some old tire chains and some other stuff. Should get about $20 for the load which brings me about $60 so far for the past week. I've raised several thousand dollars so far over the past 10 years or so.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Wow Jim, that's great! Reminds me I have a bunch of scrap to take...

[@danschneider7369]

Eating together as a family is something that my wife and kids have ALWAYS done. It’s super important, in my view. Staying connected, close and interested is a need for everyone, if a family is going to be happy and thrive.

[@lsbraswell]

Absolutely agree that family meals are important! That's how I grew up and it is something I am currently doing now that I have a family of my own.

[@beverlystarcher8522]

I agree100%! When i was growing up, we always had dinner together as a family (no cell phones back then) With the way things are today, most kids probably don't get to experience or know what it's like to have dinner as a family and that's sad. I have to say times have really changed since i was growing up (i'm in my mid 50's) I passed on the same values to my daughter. Now that she has her own family, she makes it a priority to have dinner together as a family as well.

[@jonathanking3497]

I liked the little dance that Hilary did at the solar panels. Since you already have an inverter, are you going to install additional solar panels to cover your increased power needs on the farm. Designing solar installation would make one or two great videos

[@michaelburt2233]

Eating as a family and actually talking to one another is also one of our rules. That is something I feel people don’t always do

[@kmeyer52172]

The 5 dislikes ( so far) are obviously from folks having a bad day......may it get better for you

[@gabrielhernandez4663]

That wood partition with the heat lamp was very simple smart idea. Great job Pete.

[@taniaburton7559]

Who doesn't love little piggies?!?❤️

[@phillpotts9047]

Pete you and Hillary are special. You both are remarkable in your own right. You have something I will never have 'A Farm' and watching you and Hillary is a wonderful pleasure to watch. A really BIG Thank you for opening your life on a farm for US ALL that watch and enjoy. It's Very educational, factual with truth, Happy & but with every Happy-ness their will be sad-ness at times, but it's real. Keep safe guy's, I came across you completely accidentally and love it. 👌👌👍

[@haroldraceedge1168]

The family that spends time together usually stays together. Wish more family's would spend time at the table together. Thank you for sharing that.

[@normaraynor9420]

Enjoy your family. I'm old and alone now and the one thing I miss is having everyone at the dinner table

[@Flippin_Crazy]

She’s glad to see her “dad” bring fresh bedding

[@daledassel5658]

You guys are living a great life style. Not many people would choose that life nowadays. If I were younger and my wife was still living, I would love to have this lifestyle. Thank you for these snippets of your lives. Stay safe!

[@rosehower]

thank you. when we have a day that’s like yours. I use it. I experience it. And when a day comes that’s different i remember the day that wasn’t. i remind myself. i do this to try to appreciate. to try to be at peace, to have gratitude. Some of my family likes in places where it’s the same all year. I don’t think i could do that. I need this change, these seasons. my mind and my body need these different days, and i do appreciate it.

[@ashleyduvall1962]

I love that you have dinner at the table together, bonding with your family over a meal is the best I reckon.

[@frankcurley]

When lighting a fire, it is the "anticipation" of the comfort of warmth that gives one ease.

[@timbrelman]

How AWESOME that your family has supper together at the table. Faith, and Family are extremely important. You have it down. 👍♥️

[@jamielawson1534]

Always a joy to watch your video's Pete. We have a small farm, but always like to watch other farmers and how they go about their day. You always keep your videos positive, unlike so many others now who are constantly complaining about people not liking their videos or making some comment that is negative. I guess it was only a matter of time before that popped up. Now, let's get on that MD and get it done, lol.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

Same here. Yes, staying positive is difficult sometimes, but I sure am Lifted by optimism these days. 😌

[@dantor111]

the pigs really ripped up that yard

[@barryethridge568]

And it’s a wonderful day here. We have a new video from Pete.

[@fairwitness8994]

I had horses and during snow and ice it was very satisfying to sit in the stable and listen to the horses munching hay knowing that I provided shelter and hay for them.

[@sharonaultman8975]

When I saw the trailer thinking it’s short time for porky. Whatever cuts the stress down.

[@mandykal]

Some may find this strange but growing up feeding pigs for an adult pig, my dad cut up a 55 gallon plastic drum 1/4 of the bottom probably a foot height and used that as a plate for one pig. Filled that plate 3/4 of water and used those metal large orange juice can u get at the store. With 3/4 water to 2-2.5 cans of pig food a mixture of pellets. It was enough to feed a pig daily. Little ones were twice a day. Pigs came out perfectly and not overweight.

[@rawa5457]

"It is cold, the weather sucks, it is raining and snowing and we go to our daily duties. Wonderfully." You are great! :):):) I'm already ashamed that I sometimes complain about the weather. Hahaha.

[@allenferry9632]

It appears as though you have 3 seasons in your area Mud, Snow and the Forth of July. I hope you folks get to rest up some over the winter.

[@ryanryder1981]

Me and my youngest son (4 years old) watch all your videos. Great job. My grandfather was a farmer and I love that this gives him a view into life on a farm.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Just what I needed today a few minutes in Mr. Pete's neighborhood! Looks like the corner partition in Red's pen is working fine for her piglets and I love the sliding door on the chicken house! I hope y'all have a great day Mr. Pete!

[@rottmanthan]

my favorite content is anything tractor related, but i watch all the vids.

[@10lauset]

Here in Edmonton Alberta, our first snowfall which started yesterday (Nov 15), and still going, is now over 2 inches...hahaha ...Cheers...

[@nicholeoconnor-rk5mp]

Its so good to see Hillary i think she's cool you go girl

[@IainG81]

Chickens weren't so keen to come outside in the cold 😁

[@genewileyopa]

Fire looked warm. Your in cow barn. You say little one what you doing. He says I just explore dad. All critters just having fun. Thanks for sharing Iowa is watching 23 degrs, this morning

[@rudgerhotsma]

Wow, the video quality just got a boost! Props for that👍🏻

[@daveyoder9519]

Either Pete upgraded his camera or he cleaned the lens like never before. 🙂

[@genewileyopa]

After watching the rest of video. I like your way of putting electronics down and eating together. That just doesn't happen much anymore. Thanks Pete for an inspirational video.

[@SomeINFJ696]

I love the values you are bringing to the table. Nothing more important than a family meal - electronics.

[@gkseeton]

I like seeing how things are done on a small old style farm. Happy, healthy animals, good food for sale, sensible system.

[@MissTiff84]

I personally love the fixing of stuff. The maybe "mundane" if you will. So often we arent taught that stuff. The piggies were icing on the cake. And the cows with hay on them 🤣🤣🥰

[@gabrielhernandez4663]

Love you guy's. Love the channel. Keep being you. Nice piglets. Thank you for sharing.

[@markdurnin9384]

If you have a side door on trailer, set up electric fence as a pen area and hillary "man" the door as you get the lighter pigs out one by one, then u left with 7 porkies, when u pull out trailer 4/5ft then run pigs back into orginal pen! It's how I do my lambs but pigs might be hard work!!

[@amilynnstapay796]

Thank you for inviting us along with you as you completed chores. Peace on your doorstep!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

The happiness of simple life:)))

[@MegaRobo25]

Can't wait to see the process that you use to load the pigs onto the trailer!

[@x_Dude1]

The little chit chat made me remember: The days just by the fire as one was knitting and dad was in the yard spending of hours to build things. The work was more intense, time was better organized. Btw liking the colored collection piglets.

[@HendricksonFamilyFarm]

Pete I love watching your videos they're very motivational videos I feel and I look forward to watching them every time they come out and I hope you have a great day

[@larryolson3256]

When our kids were young we also always had dinner together. Time to reflect and find out what happened that day.

[@howardwilliams6129]

Good morning my friend , just having a coffee and enjoying your life , thank you for sharing , it. Great start to my day

[@glennrubel4326]

When I watch your videos I feel like I visited the farm. I like that.

[@patriciagray756]

You are Correct!! family dinners are going away.....they need to make a come back!!! Thank you Pete and Hillary

[@colleenb3810]

Loved the video glad you can take it a little easy in the winter. You sure earn a break after every thing you do in the summer. Thank-you

[@marczalewski6120]

One my favorite posts Pete...

[@dakotahays2836]

Getting them use to loading is SO SO important & makes life SO SO much easier.

[@jimmcalister3808]

Pete some of us understand and appreciate the need for mechanical aptitude on the farm. Please don't stop with the mechanical videos I learn something new every time you do them. As a side note, our family insists on sit-down dinner also. Very little better quality time then at a supper table

[@DashCamEnthusiast]

I bought my spring pigs the same time your first spring piglets were born, it’s so cool to watch your pigs grow the same as mine, makes me feel like I know what I’m doing lol, except ours are staying till January/ February because North Carolina butchers are still backed up into 2022!!! Just thought it was cool to compare pigs 😂

[@beverlystarcher8522]

Hello...from a fellow North Carolinian! I live in the middle part of NC (between Durham and Greensboro..born and raised here in NC) I love this YT channel and it's nice when i come across comments from people in my home state. Hope you have a great day!

[@DashCamEnthusiast]

@@beverlystarcher8522 I absolutely love this channel as well! I’m born and raised as well, I’m between Asheville and Charlotte!! Absolutely love the state (sometimes) lol. The butchers are really slow around here but I guess it takes time to make perfection!

[@beverlystarcher8522]

@@DashCamEnthusiast we have one major thing in common...we both love this state! I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

[@DashCamEnthusiast]

@@beverlystarcher8522 other than the crazy temps (81 high 28 low yesterday) it’s a great state, cattle prices are fair for both buyers and sellers, beaches are clean, mountains are scenic, everything is great

My favorite channel to watch in the evening's. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@thebhn]

Dinnertime is sacred at our house, too! No electronics allowed. And we try our best to let no activities ever interfere with it.

[@joemontana4687]

I have come to love your videos! Keep up the good work and being a positive person in society which we desperately need these days!

[@DouglasPFresh]

There are some of us here for the mechanical and the farm stuff is just ok too lol

[@williamc.fetterjr9036]

Nothing better than family dinner.

[@daubber51]

I like the way the little piglets scurry around,,,,looks so cute,,,

[@bladestoe6568]

Baby bacon 🥓 thank you sir and misses for showing us your morning routines ! So informative and enjoyable my favorite the piggies

The baby piggies are adorable with the speckles and spots.

I love this farm. We love Pete and Hilary.

Busy life, but at the end of the day, you knew you did something. Even in the winter. Always enjoy your content. Many blessings.

Pig area looks like no mans land in WWI minus the barbed wire and landmines!! Haha, nice video those piggies sure are getting big, i remember when you first put them out and they cleared the area of brush pretty quickly.

[@oneononehiggo7921]

Yes same with the main dinner no gadgets at the table when eating it's the only family we get these days of times changing fast

Omg I could watch the piglets all day!

[@beepainter6236]

I am so glad you show and explain the whole picture of farm life.

[@reedchandler2372]

You have the same wood box I do, grey plastic wit a handle. I think it is great that you have dinner together as a family. I think it is important to have that time together as a family to talk, so when issues come up with your kids they know that they can talk to you instead of going to their friends and getting bad advice.

[@bobbygibson3586]

I Love watching your videos. It keeps us connected as to how life really is, it's not all go to the grocery store and there it is.

[@jorgealfaiate]

looking forward to the part 2 in the MD :)

Wow Pete. Those pigs really cleared that patch of ground.
