Look What I Found!

We are sorting Dexter cattle, and look what I found! We rarely see these around our farm. We have lots of other work to do today too: moving the layer flock, putting broiler chicks on pasture, moving the cattle to fresh pasture, and visiting with the pigs. It's another fun workday on the farm!
Note:
-We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors
-We do not ship our farm's products
-We do not sell live animals

The hens were so eager to get out of the bus. Reminded me of my students when the dismissal bell rings!

[@tomnovak7731]

Reminds me of the clown car at the circus!

[@robertoortiz7838]

I can't stop laughing.

[@rayhubbard1367]

Great job Hilary, that sorting is hectic work. You 2 are fortunate to have each other, a good farm couple is truly a gift.

[@redlinecollectibles]

Our local farms (rural SE WI) sell roadside self-serve eggs from $3 - $4/dozen. Some place little stickers on the carton indicating the "laying date". Brown color and delish!

[@robertbailey8444]

I love it when the cattle get vocal with you. Clearly there communicating there wants and needs.

[@melinnwflorida1762]

Ok. I have to confess. Watching those hens cluck and scramble out of the trailer was completely smile inducing! They sounded so excited to greet their new pasture.

[@heathergustafson4237]

Now that’s the way to raise chickens. For the hens and the land. Everyone and Mother Earth prosper! Excellent job you guys

[@Boingfish1]

How to’s are not near as powerful as you two sharing the joy in the work you perform….your joy is contagious and appreciated.

[@Grapemom23]

I don't even know how I came across this video. I am sure glad I did. I love farm animals and I love it when people take the time to expain their job. Thank you!!

[@maryherbert9082]

An early morning watch with my grandsons. They really enjoy watching all the things that happen on the farm....animals, tractors, food.

[@bslturtle]

Thanks Pete, another school day for me :) Watching, and listening, cows eat grass is nearly as nice as watching you cut the fields.

[@klazyy641]

We never had such fine pasture grasses for our herd, but you're right: hearing them feed and listening to their legs push the grasses aside sure is relaxing. Couple that with the birds and the wind and you're in for a calming experience. Thanks again for today's video, Pete.

[@CaribouOrange]

Those little tractor-starting segments are nice, and the flat tire on the hen mobile-hoop, is pretty priceless too! Nice video, thanks

[@cindygartner157]

I so appreciate that you show how you raise your animals with care and compassion. Raising animals for consumption is a fact of life but you show that they can be raised in a more natural, healthy way. Giving them a good life is important too.

[@rolandhemmann5952]

When you sort cattle you can mark them with chalk so thy are easy to keep track of. Thanks for sharing your life with us.

[@kailand3056]

Pete, I love watching you interact with your cows and pigs because you have such a deep affection for them. You seem so relaxed and in tune with the rhythm of your daily routine - it’s a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@joekara]

Same...keep doing what u do pete.u inspire me daily

[@louiserawle8999]

Hahaha I beg to differ,its clear he has affection for his cows but I don't think there is affection for the pigs lol

[@louiserawle8999]

If you want to see real affection for pigs watch Kevin on Living Traditions Homestead..the pigs are his fave animals.small Idaho Pasture Pigs

[@brittanybrown273]

I'm so impressed how you handle the cattle in that small space! Wow

[@carolbohm9654]

The hens look very excited to be on new grass

[@carmencastro9823]

Reminds me of my childhood years. Add a few goats and horses and I'm back home! 🥰 Great job Pete and Hillary. God bless.

[@SundaysChild1966]

My hubby is a farmboy, we don't have enough land, so we just keep a couple or three hogs every summer and get chickens from family. We both INSIST that the animals be treated in a humane way, I see you do the same and appreciate you showing that. There is no need to be mean and cruel to farm animals, they do have feelings too and I am thankful for them every day. Take care and ... Bless

[@patriziaferrara8651]

What is that you are feeding the pigs outside?

[@Flowing23]

Congratulations to you and Hilary. The 2 Cattel heading to freezer camp look in great condition, how well they have finished on just grass. What a complement to you and your way of farming. Thanks for a great video :)

[@sgrvtl7183]

Love how the chickens run down the ramp‼️ Cackling away😄 good energy!

[@Budd56]

I stumbled onto your channel about a year ago. I didn't really care for it until the MD rebuild. Now I have watched most of your videos. I have much respect for you and especially your wife. It is quite obvious you have a passion for what you do. Keep up the awesome job and thank you for sharing your life.👍👍✌️

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Hey Pete ! Elephant joke ! Lolol 😂 that's whatever talking about ! Thanks for sharing ! Hilary you ate a magnificent wife ! We admire How you always pitch in helping run the farm ! We don't haveva farm.but my husband and I work the same together on our property and cottage in northern Michigan . Love always prevails in a strong union...a partnership, a marriage . Good going guys ! God bless y'all ! 👍🙌

[@mabdman2140]

Always enjoy your work day videos. Been watching ones of yours that I haven't seen, trying to catch up!

[@donhopf5877]

The laying hens are about as happy for the new grass as the cows are. Thanks for doing the videos. Growing up on a farm, the videos bring back memories.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Won't be too long and you'll be feeding pigs in the trailer.

[@donaldwallace7934]

Great video!! The elephant joke was hilarious Pete!! Have a great day Pete & Hillary!!

[@jdminsco]

To put it simply-I straight up love your videos.

[@MerLin613100]

Veterinary Medicine would be a good career for one of your children or relatives. You might also need a canned cow laughter for your jokes. The joke, "it's all over town," followed by the cow moo, was almost perfect. Good vibes.

[@kathrynhelm4176]

Got a good laugh out of the cows...”lemme see, lemme see, lemme see” 🤣😂😝. In the case of No. 2 and 6...curiosity killed the cat. ☹️ The care and compassion you and Hilary provide to your animals is commendable! ❤️

[@jerryrushing350]

Hey Pete...I absolutely LOVE your videos. I laughed out loud when the big light brown cow head butted the black cow in the rear end as to say...."Move, get outta my way...I'm trying to eat!"

[@martincowie4277]

For a townie like me I love watching these videos. Farming seems to be good common sense,and in your family’s case it comes in abundance..keep up the good work..forgot to say I liked you comparison between the colour of your pork meat and the supermarkets offerings. You have reformed my taste buds. 👏👏👏

[@LouisCBach]

Sunday stopped @ booth #72 and wide awake bakery. Have just finished watching your series on rebuilding your ancestry home and have to tell you; we did the same with an 1850's home built by my great grandfather. As I watched all I could say is "been there done that" and was amazed how similar styled our homes are, and 300 miles apart. Our daughter was the age yours were when we did ours but is now a veterinarian @ Cornell. Will stop and visit booth #72 on a Sat next trip.

[@Kristian_Saile]

Thanks for the explanation on they why not in regards to chicken processing, totally makes sense. 👍

[@anthonysmith3187]

Great video as always Pete, and I always enjoyed listening to the cows eat at night after milking with my uncle. And you're right somehow listening to that is relaxing with a beer!

Why did the horse cross the road? ... He was checking out the neigh...bourhood.... Why did the farmer cross the road? ... To get all his animals back

Your channel is so entertaining. I grew up on a small farm and it brings back so many happy memories and a little homesickness. I don't blame you for not showing how you harvest chickens. It's such a dirty job but nothing better than farm fresh birds.

[@pbrooks9895]

Big fan from hot, boring Florida! Best of everything to you and your wife and again, thank you for the enjoyment I get watching your farm animals do their thing.

Pete, the thumbnail had me a bit worried about what exactly you were going to find under that cow! I can do without surprises like THAT!

Good old farming video :)

[@doreenmaclachlan2518]

Hi, Pete, I would just like to say how much me and my husband enjoy watching your videos. We used to farm on an small scale but it was strictly pigs for us - Tamworths. At the height of our farming we had ten sows and one boar. We sold close to a hundred weaners a year plus we sold sides and went to the farmers' market. Of course, videos where you show the pigs are my favourite but I do have one suggestion to make - more dishes! We found several dishes or troughs spread out work best because then everyone got a chance to eat equally and it cut down on "hogs at the trough". When it came time to take them to the butcher - around 230 pounds - they were all pretty well the same weight within 10 pounds or so. Thanks again for the videos!

[@Luckingsworth]

I tried the eggspiriment myself the other day, typical supermarket egg vs a pasture raised organic small farm egg the local health coop sells. It really was amazing how colorless the supermarket egg looks im comparison. I wouldn't know if they tasted all that different since I added in a bunch of taco seasoning, but the texture was noticeablely different too. The pasture eggs were much more fluffy and creamy.

[@ivanmullet12]

[@drigocks3715]

Hi Pete, I have to admit I became kind of an addict to your videos, I really can't stop watching! Have you considered doing some kind of livestream while working? I don't know if it is possible from the farm, but that would be pretty cool! Love your stuff, greetings from Argentina!

Thanks for another great video, and love the various college T-shirts. But what I find the best in your videos is the practical knowledge along with small farm business practices.
