[@mariesheppard3750]

Ah the joys of using recycle material. I build my old farm that way , Still do on this place, Sure saves money now a days , Great job Jason,

[@janetwithers7427]

Wow, that tin roof was falling apart in many places. Those 3 little pigs squeal so loud the big bad wolf will find them. Ha. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄☃️🎄

[@markschroeder3154]

great work on that old roof. Yummy food there all home grown. Two thumbs up.

[@dlynch1898]

Absolutely love those dewalt tin cutters. What a deal. TFS. Love your channel. Many blessings from California 🌴🌞👍🏻

[@karenladwig3856]

[@jlrbhj]

Those pigs! Wow. Thanks for sharing the brooder build.

[@rosaolbera8768]

You are a so wonderful family I really enjoy watching your wonderful videos stay warm outthere hello to your lovely wife and beautiful daughter your fan Rosa olbera from Texas

[@lloydcoleman5469]

Great video. Your camera is amazing! I love how giving Lorraine is. Always helping outside of her comfort zone, always thoughtful and courteous. And such a deep thinker. Probably why she preps so well cuz she's always looking 3 steps ahead of every situation. Pen is a replica of Lorraine. And Randy.... Just a go getter, momma got a lot of qualities from Poppa! You four make an outstanding team and I thank you for sharing.

[@MrJabberewocky]

Your channel and the hollars are my two very favorites! Thank you.

[@vash060]

Beautifull view with the bird flyin over you when you were working on the roof

[@opalezell2166]

The boy is really growing! You are a good hog raiser!

[@farmernledell]

It’s all about repurposing what ya have with minimal cost until you have a solid plan 👍good job !

[@littlehillsidehomestead6362]

Keep on keeping on. Thanks for sharing!

[@mrsjones3742]

Beautiful barn footage

[@dtmc4509]

Love watching you work together! The coolest 😎.

[@mattsara2802]

Hope you guys hit 200k by new year’s 🎉

[@davevandu2144]

Nice place to come for some common sense, Thanks friend !

[@hugelpook]

Nice to see an organised homesteader.

[@mary-i7d9d]

You've got a good head of hair to keep your head warm this winter! You make it all look so easy!

[@pettyfogger2305]

May I suggest that you buy a gallon or so of Rustolium style paint for your tin roof? My folks had a tiny former stable built in 1901 and in the early 70s I decided to roll a coat of aluminum colored paint on the roof-no prepping and just a long pole with a roller attached. When my folks passed on we sold our home and the realtor could not believe that 50 years later, that roof still had paint and it had plugged up all those egged-out nail holes in 120 year old tin to keep the stable/shop dry and sound.

[@SowtheLand]

good call, I'll look into that. thanks for the tip!

[@gaylewatkins4685]

I love your channel and always look forward to your next video. ♥️ The three little pigs are fun to watch and they are so vocal. I wonder what they are saying to each other. 😂🤣😂🤣

[@jrsf222]

So very proud of this family! Tried and true to the bone. Caring and sharing.

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Love the dried orange slices ornament:))) Don't get addicted to Meg's products, they're extraordinary!!

[@rodmackinnon8497]

Love watching you work Jason, you've become quite the farmer . . . you make me remember the old homestead, a farmer has to be a jack of all trades and use what is at hand. Cheers.

[@SowtheLand]

thanks man! yes, indeed.

[@Papaguena]

It would be cool, to bring the rain water to a pond. 👍

[@nataliejohnson5148]

Nice tree

[@mariaolivo4590]

Maybe Little Beefy Boy could spend time at the Hollars...?

[@CassieDavis613]

You all have come sooo far!

[@karinjudge7277]

Very nice video everyone !!

[@dianecharles881]

I’m glad you decided to just patch the roof instead! Don’t ever rush into something that cost you more money than necessary! Christmas Tree looks beautiful!

[@marycountry]

Always. Good video. Hope you have a Merry Christmas😊❤️🎄

[@cheryllamb8831]

Jason you have the "gumption"! When you set your mind to a project you stay with it & that in itself is a big win. Thanks for taking us along.

[@warrenfromga9945]

I enjoy seeing you and your family doing what you love in your videos. I envy your lifestyle. I wanted that when I was young but I let work get in the way. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@SowtheLand]

Thank you so much!

[@XPALYDO]

So amazing! You are very good with tools, Jason. You reminded me of my stepmoms dad, who was born on the farm, He had to machine tool his parts for the tractor on his century farm because they didn’t make the parts any more!

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Glad you had a spare piece of tin to patch the roof. It is just as important to have spare parts be it wood, sheets of wood, tin, wire T posts etc. as it is to have extra food. Takes both to manage a farm. Thanks for sharing, have a Blessed day.

[@GiselaSuski]

You do the best videos - thank you

[@familydutton6568]

Maybe it's made from locust wood 🤔, it's a natural repellent of pests. I love how you all use whatever you already have. I hope our Homestead is as great as yours! You are by far our FAVORITE Homesteaders on KZbin! You three are awesome 😎👍!

[@charlesvaughn5055]

enjoyed the video. seeing big beefe curing, and the "loud piglets". really did a great job on the roof fixing. have a great day.

[@lisadaughteroftheking5852]

Chicken tacos! Yum!

[@melaniealison5889]

I really enjoy your videos!! Love your family!

[@SowtheLand]

Thank you so much!

[@oldbear6813]

Those pack outs are crazy awesome! My husband has a full one and even got the fancy tumbler that hooks to it and he's rolling that stacked pack out everywhere 🤣 Extremely worth it 👍

[@miguelruizm]

I love your farm! Even though it looks like a lot of work, it seems to me like you have made it very manageable, to make sure you don't burn out! Love it

[@SowtheLand]

Yes, thank you

[@richardroyles1423]

Enjoy your supper. God bless

[@kezzatries]

Wow that tin is certainly thin. Good job.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

You have come so far! Wow

[@Jane_Snow_]

Jason, I don't think there is anything you can't do. I have to say, your wife is so pretty! 🙂

[@judyhernandez3391]

I live about an hour SE of Dallas and would love to meet and support you at the conference but we wont be able to make it that weekend. My husband and I have watched your channel since y'all bought the 1 1/2 acres and made it into your homestead. Sure do admire ya'lls work ethics and family values. Enjoy your visit to TX!!

[@Rosethatwantstomove]

I'm thrilled on the progress you have been making. What I've seen in this video you're just thriving in health, love , warmth. Merry Christmas

[@diannaclarke2758]

I wouldn't worry about it. He looks OK. If you buy a steer then it will be by itself when you butcher little brother. If you're concerned then you can put him next to the pigs, companion's don't need to be the same type of animal.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Saw in your lap! OUCH!!🤪

[@andrewlittlefield3425]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@cherylbertolini3140]

Jason you are so funny:)

[@debbiedempsky8160]

I live about 5 miles South of the Event Center in Allen where the conference is going to be. Unfortunately, I will be flying out to Colorado around the 18th to help my daughter who is expecting baby #2 any day at that time. We've gone to this Event Center for Home & Garden shows a few times as well as Disney on Ice last year. We've lived in North Plano for over 30 years now. If you have any questions at all about this area, please let me know. We love it here.

[@tonicook3023]

jason---stay true to your original concept. good progress.

[@bethlouise4758]

I love your channel. Im going to be mama hen here, I do want to encourage you to not use a saw on your lap and to tuck your shirt tails in. My husband, when my daughter was 2 or 3, was making benches for around our table and did just what you did. The saw sucked in his shirt tail and pulled the saw onto his leg. He was very lucky it did not cut his artery. He missed it by an inch. We were farmers and he was in a walker for a month because he cut through so much muscle in his thigh. He also had a lot of nerve damage. I got to do the having. Love you and your family and don't want you to get hurt.

[@nandisaand5287]

I think Justin Rhodes still has a young steer. He's about to put his critters in his pole barn for the winter. Maybe he'd let that steer come over-winter on your pasture...

[@annesmith2574]

Red rangers are my fav, too!

[@IBM19841]

Hello from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, happy holidays my friends 🌹

[@SowtheLand]

Happy holidays!

[@Dutch_off_grid_homesteading]

Heya nice roof repair wel done

[@deltorres2100]

Very cool .Dallas ,Tx

[@Dawn-di1qs]

i have four of those 55 gallons food safe drums in a parallel system elevated up on 3 levels of cinder blocks. the pressure is amazing

[@zechariahring6445]

I’m the search for steers I would look for Livestock Auctions in your area. We have one near us every Wednesday.

[@barrysurdex5521]

Y'all might try The American b r e s s e dual-purpose bird it's a red white and blue bird

[@barbseverino1278]

Great video

[@jackiebinns6205]

Morning

[@maryrutigliano1044]

Bring your heavy coat to Texas in January!

[@mccrack77]

A pig's squeal can be as loud as 115 decibels - that's 3 decibels higher than the sound of a supersonic airliner!

[@mattwheaton7621]

Good morning 🤟🏻🇨🇦👍🏻

[@SowtheLand]

Morning!

[@rsoubiea]

i have a vince guraldi piano book, hes one of my faves!

[@mariaanderson6503]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰heló from Dallas

[@pamelacrowell2007]

You should get some roof nail goop (don't know what it's called) cause rain is most likely coming in around those nails.

[@donmartin7728]

Craigslist is an ok source. I have rescued a couple of animals that way.

[@mikalasimpson7789]

Tell P I read cooking books

[@HeatherNaturaly]

You should get your steer a companion sheep.

[@freshstarts1618]

Lololol.. I used to read the dictionary 😂

[@dennissherwood9952]

Really like your mobile cooler

[@SowtheLand]

gee, thanks!

[@Scotty777]

You might be able to find a steer locally on Craigslist.

[@aleciahamiter6554]

The edge of the roof is rotted out from water damage from over time. There isn't enough of a roof over hang to protect the wood under it.

[@sheribray4591]

So ur buddy Justin is git new toys spring if I were u I would be try to buy lucky the tractor just a thought 🤔 love ur content keep it real Kenny from ky

Wow. That metal roofing is really thin. I've never seen it tear so easily by hand like you just did to that. The really old tin roofs were thicker than that. Did metal roofing get cheapened up in the 80s or what?

[@michaelsallee7534]

I would hang 8 days. Longer only allows bacteria and yeast to flourish, both would leave items some would be allergic to or harmful to their health. The 8 days of chilling will allow many of the harmful bacteria that could come from butchering to die off.

[@SowtheLand]

I have heard 20 different things from everyone. 5 days, 2, 30, 14. It's hard to believe anyone these days. Best way to figure it out is to try myself and see what we like.

[@michaelsallee7534]

My data was from FDA-approved ablators and allergenic professionals. I use to have my meat hung for 28 days for the flavors.

[@NTMDTR205605]

I love an estwing hammer.

[@kimsmith5471]

That roof might be a good use of FLEX SEAL.

[@karmadump]

TIN ROOF!!! Rusted

[@michaelmencer331]

Justin Rhodes has some roofing material.

[@jills5939]

💕.

[@indianacryptid6020]

howdy

[@debbielamb2432]

Use a old tire for seals on nails for roof...

[@natehb]

Put the steer in with the pigs

[@my_freelance_life]

Why not just paint the roof with Flexseal?

[@deecooper1567]

🤩🤩👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

Are you able to raise the height of this cooler instead of building a expensive walk-in one? I was thinking to raise it from the bottom/floor level, by adding a couple of feet from there, rather than messing with the roof area. It would be much cheaper and you'd still have the benefit of it being a mobile cooler. Something to think about.

[@SowtheLand]

not worth doing that. Walk in would be best.

[@OMGaNEWBIE]

@@SowtheLand - True, lots more storage for other foods as well.
