Great system. My father used straw because he raised wheat and oats so it was available . Dad always used square bales and kept it in barn loft.Happy Thanksgiving from Southern Indiana.

[@RickLent-j5g]

Just ordered our goodies!!! Thank you 😊

[@wrfleet]

Nothing more beautiful than a farm in the snow. Thank you !

[@GregCollard-cq5yg]

Starting another Sunday with Pete and Hillary, and the cows.......😊 Thanks Pete. 🇺🇲💪

[@dorothylaplante7243]

Morning Pete, nice hair cut. Thanks for this wonderful morning show. I look forward to the Sunday morning edition. It is just a lovely way to start a relaxing morning. Say hi to Hillary.

[@charleswebster2550]

A day without Pete & Hilarie is a day without sunshine ! Winter snow on the farm is icing on the cake. I can smell it & feel like I'm back in my life as it used to be oh so many decades ago. Thank you both for sharing all of your time, energy and dedication with us, your grateful viewers. 🤗🙏

[@davidrice6989]

That video felt like it was 5 mins. That means it was enjoyable to watch

[@bgatlin5918]

Agree, Now I want a Few Acres movie!!

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I think it's always a calming and pleasing sight and sound when the cattle gets fresh hay, similar to when a person puts cattle on a new or fresh ground of pasture. I liked the history you gave about how the dairies in your area worked, also the comparison of dairy cattle verses beef cattle. Thanks Pete, I enjoyed watching, I hope you have a beautiful day!

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

Sunday morning with Pete ,now my week can begin!

[@marvinberry1986]

Best Sunday morning show ever!!!

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ another great episode, Pete. Spending the day with you ❤❤

[@WENDE-f7x]

Love to watch the progress of the younger cows..........growing so big, and so healthy looking, shiny and happy.......what a pleasure! Seems like you're doing EVERYTHING right.

[@SusanA1056]

Love to watch you in the mornings with my tea. We're in Ontario Canada here and no snow here yet. Although, it's supposed to snow for the next 3 or 4 days. When we saw snow at your farm we knew it was coming here next.

[@michelehumann811]

The snow is so pretty

[@joerodrigues3816]

Thanks again maté for sharing this video with us all and hope you all are doing well

[@forrestgump9576]

Love that you take the time to explain the different farming practices. Not everyone understands or knows. The transition of the farm before and after the snowfall was beautiful! Always enjoy your humor. Found the perfect truck for sale, a 1946 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup fully restored correctly. Absolutely beautiful. Wish I could buy it!!

[@denault3985]

Pete is very knowledgeable about farm animal (cattle) history and methods. Love the upper New York snowy countryside.

[@brycewiborg8095]

This week i observed Shorthorn cows on corn stalks. That took me back 50 years. In the Upper Midwest snow, and frost hasn't come to stay. It's inevitable. Thank you Pete.

[@forrestgump9576]

Yes! Upper Midwest here too. Remember area farmers turning out the cows to eat down the stalks and fertilize the fields as well😊

[@firemanj35]

Good morning Pete and Hillary. Great stuff today. I'm glad for the explanation on why you do things the way you do. They are always thought out, researched, and then just pick a combination. Steaks looked amazing. I wouldn't go out if I was a chicken, either. Lol, have a great week

[@rickharper6320]

Good morning Pete & Hilarie !!!! Great way to start a great day !!

[@Oof-DahReviews-bf4hv]

Have a great Sunday as well Pete and family.

[@bobmoroney3643]

I love the way you talk to the cattle and how they seem to respond. "Come on cows". They are having as good a life as you and Hillary and the kids. Thanks for me morning video enjoyment.

[@bryanwoodward1822]

Having watched the channel for a couple of years, it's very interesting to see how things have developed and are in continual development. Living in Japan I've found new videos come online around 10pm Japan time. So I get to watch before going to bed. Although I've heard before some explanations of why you do things, I'm sure many viewers haven't and will find it very interesting. Steaks look great, you have the cooking down to a fine art 😋

[@sergeant061]

You and Hillary are a great team! First video of my Sunday...always!

[@charleselertii6187]

Thank You Pete and Hilarie! I look forward to all your videos! -Chuck in Florida.

[@nealyerges8882]

Pre-retirement days milk, feed,clean,barn start over in evening. The winter days were relaxing.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

I can see Pete being semi retired. He doesn't seem to be the kind of guy that could stay still.

[@brucerazor5202]

I always start my day with Pete, have a great day

[@JonStratford1234]

Good morning, friends.

[@cstar54]

Thanks Pete & Hilarie!!!!

[@stevenzalewski8324]

THANK YOU

[@markflick1641]

Just seeing your smiling face’s Makes a better day . Thank you for including us into your day . Great video, Happy Holidays .

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

I always enjoy your videos on Sunday morning. It makes my day better. Thanks for the video, and I'll see you later. Take care, and God bless.

[@stevestormssr5492]

You couldnthave said it better Pete and you're right. Snow does give a sense of clean to everything. It is my favorite time of year!

[@frankrizzo3915]

Good Morning to all.

[@shermdog6969]

We fed around 800 head of cows but rarely fed hay. We would feed what we called cow cake. Its an alfalfa blend that's the size of a hotdog about 3 inches long. We would spread it out in the pasture. Winter and summer. They would just get a lot less during the summer. Lots of good memories.

[@wmwho]

Thank you for the explanations Pete. They are one of my favorite parts of your channel. I find farming fascinating even though I have never farmed in my life, and I learn something new on every one of your videos.

[@charleselertii6187]

Hi Pete. I did order two black XL T-shirts with the JAFAF logo on the upper left this morning, Sunday, Novemeber 24th, 2024. Thank You for the discount! Shipping cost was $11.02 to Jensen Beach FL. I will be proud to wear your logo shirt. Cheers, Chuck in Florida

[@michaelb.5345]

I need those Pete jokes also to make me smile while watching you tell them ..Thank you for making it all interesting. Love that cow talk to.

[@tonymccuiston9039]

Peaceful and relaxing video. Sunday morning with coffee, nice way to start the week.

[@petegraham1458]

The heard looks healthy and well fed, well done!

[@selwynowen6213]

I love the small of fresh manure, as it definitely clears up my blocked nose

[@timg8138]

I would love to see someone write a children's book about your farm and farming with all animal characters. These modern kids can learn about farming and our food chain with the connection to the land and the animals. I think my favorite character would either be Horton, Patty, or the group of nameless chickens in the chicken bus.

[@beachcomer007]

love the snow!

[@davidlauman760]

good job as always Pete and Hillary

[@jaclynalley809]

Good video. Time for church now.....

[@mono4643]

Those steaks look amazing! I bet Patty will make a fine beef patty one day!

[@JohnyAngelo]

I guess this would be considered a chill day on a farm.

[@kathyhoward3961]

We milked 150 cows and carried the buckets to the bulk tank , we did this just like you told here, when we went to beef we still did the same thing I think it is how you are raised and how you take care of the cows better

[@kevinkoepke8311]

Good morning, Pete and Hilarie! Have a great day!

[@davidbonin6378]

Good morning Pete!

[@Limogi]

Their stall was so nice and warm with all that old straw. Now it's new and cold 😞.

[@raincoast9010]

That's what i thought too.

[@Cole_Bradshaw]

That old straw was wet and once it gets wet it only takes a little while for mold to grow. It’s better to replace it than to let it mold.

[@TheBasedFarmer]

​@@Cole_Bradshawlol that's not how composting works...

[@michaelharvey7613]

I found a new word today. It applies to your cattle. You have a very nice kine of cattle.

[@jimamundsen7029]

Great tutorial on bedding cattle. Thanks Pete.

[@robertsantiago4329]

Hey, Pete with a lunch like that. Who can go to work afterwards

[@johndeere0930]

Pete I strive everyday to be as humble as you Hope one day to meet you sir!

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Guys

[@TheBiggRiggz]

I've recently discovered Flat Iron steak, that's a great cut, tender & cooks fast. I season with my own spicy version of Montreal Steak seasoning. Fry up a few eggs, maybe some hash browns and a cup of coffee. Best winter breakfast there is

[@dumpableaccount]

Good morning Pete. For bedding you might want to give wood chips a try, they’re structurally larger than just sawdust and you can often get truckloads for free or a nominal charge from local arborists. They save dump charges, you don’t need to pay for straw and the dump doesn’t fill up as fast. Seems like a win, win, win if the chips work for you.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Hi, we have a free source for wood chips. The problem, I think, is wood chips are green and wet, non-absorbent.

[@joshuasherman9967]

We used to use sawdst for a pack. It was better a little chippyer, but to get what you want, you would still want to mix hay in there. Ex, sawdast monday, hay thursday.

[@tube8533]

Blessings!

[@Kelleena1on1]

Hi Pete and Hillary I loved your video and the lesson ty I hope your thanks giving is a good one im greatful for your channel ❤

The second you pulled the lid off the grill my aquarium light in my room came on, scared the crap out of me!

[@Jesse_was_here]

The making of Mt. Poo should be on modern marvels. Look at all that future compost!

[@raymondcaylor6292]

22:02 I'm not a comment hog but I feel strongly about recommending Just a Few Acres Farm merchandise. The supplier Farm Focused supplies top quality merchandise with even better customer service. I've only purchased 3 tee's and 2 long sleeved crewneck's but they have all been perfect when delivered and hold up after washing. You won't be dissatisfied.

[@gkenn99]

Funny... we live 20 mins north of you Pete, and had/have zero snow.

[@larrykerr7712]

Always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good morning Pete from Indiana nice snow fall

[@LiSa.N.J]

Good morning Pete and Hilary. Thanks for taking us out on the farm today. Was nice to get out, even if it's cold, wet and snowy. Hey Pete..can you give Ole Patty a scratch for me...she's grown on me over the last few years. I just love her sassy ways. Thanks! STay safe, Stay Warm! and Happy Thanksgiving if you don't post a video before then.

[@jdublu755]

Since you mentioned snowplows, I can't wait to see that Super A in action!! (That cub would make a good plow tractor too! Hint, Hint. Lol )

Channel feedback. 👍 Always insightful, informative, instructive, educational and entertaining. Many lessons on rural lifestyle for both human and animals. Fortified with excellent narration, camera cuts, humor and tempered with an experiential themed overview from a storytellers perspective. Recipe for an engaging interactive and uplifting experience for the viewer; as seen in the comment section.

[@davidthies6323]

The store only offers 10% off, Pete. Hilarie, you need to smile more often. You have a very pretty smile. Pete, you're pretty cute yourself. Long time watcher from Alton, Illinois.

[@charleselertii6187]

Every time you cook makes me hungry and jealous wish I was close so I could purchase some of your meat

[@geedubb-q1u]

Good looking steaks. When the fats crispy that’s the first thing I go after lol.

[@timg8138]

I ordered a International Muscle shirt today, I wish I could be closer to get some steak from the farmers market, but I'll take what I can get.

[@patsfanb6]

Beed my animals on free wood chips .nice when ur nephew owns a tree company...

[@CzarManish]

If I was in USA, I would have surely bought some stuff ..

[@ericmargelowsky3178]

Thanks for making me hungry, had to go to the freezer and get out some steaks! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@TheBasedFarmer]

I think hay actually makes a better bedding than straw. The stalks of the straw are hollow and therefore break easily when used for bedding. Hay lasts much longer in my experience.

[@sallybrokaw6124]

Locally a few cattlmen around here round bale corn fodder for feed especially if they are short on hay.AL B.

[@DJ-bh1ju]

There... you just gave me more detail to your answer to my question last week about why not let the cows out to wander a field or two. Was this a coincidence? On the bedding material thing - I'm a bit west of you in the Genesee Valley. I'm seeing more and more farmers growing dry corn and saving the stalks in round bales. Never used to see that at all. Wonder if they're now recognizing the value of it for bedding in place of traditional straw.

[@stevenwarner7348]

Ok Ok Ok ~ That is it! I'm tellin ya. My very first Superheroes are Al and Gina, here in New Hampshire. 500 acres in our "North Country." Having run around all over this state supporting foster homes and special needs kids I know the area. You have no idea! And so there is Lumnah Acres. Off grid stuff, chickens, pigs, beef cattle and some sweet dogs. They even have their own line of coffee that they promote. Gina shows off some meals now and then. Daily posts. I think over 500k subscribers. Al is always building something or trying out something new. Gina gives the commentary. Just great. But I think. They have no idea. You and Hillary are so spot on with what you do. I have told them about your site point blank. I type: "Please go there." I will again do so today. Not gonna lie. ✨👍✨〰. By the way. I am raking leaves again today. I think I'm seeing double the amount of leaves this year. I don't get it. I do have my line up of snowblowers. None of them work (that well). You may know the 8hp Tecumseh engine and one that was a fbMP $50.00 purchase (this Sept) that I think was the victim of a gravel and salted driveway. Otherwise pristine. And so. Yea. Gonna make that farmers marked some day. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do! 〰✨🌿🌟🌿✨〰. New Hampshire.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Pete have you ever thinking of using crop corn stocks to use for bedding of course you would have to buy corn stocks bales
