Family Farm Walk (Animal Check-In) | VLOG | Roots and Refuge Farm

[@brandyD33]

I don't know if anyone will see this comment, maybe y'all can pin it if you feel so inclined. Hey people who love Roots & Refuge: want to know a super easy way you can financially bless this family? Don't skip the ads. I know sometimes you have to; nobody wants to watch a ten minute long screamfest about "pulling up to my sick mansion, getting out of my sick car" - however, I just learned this week that that's the most profitable way that a monetized channel is rewarded financially. So let the ad play, if you can help it. This family gives us their hearts and souls; it's the least we can do. Bless you guys!!

[@sweetpeashomestead3348]

I have horses and really enjoy everytime you show them. Thats what I call "a buck n fart" lol

[@bramblesbriarsfarm7007]

It's the dominicker chicken that led the escape! I have one rogue chicken and she's a dominicker. She's the only 1 that can get out and she teases the rest the chickens with her freedom lol! The baby piglets are SO cute! Miah, I feel your pain. I rushed outside the other night to flip a feeders upside down so they wouldn't hold water and make sure all the lids were tight on the feed cans and somehow managed to leave the lid off of $70 worth of show pig feed.....fortunately it didn't rain until the next morning after I had caught my flub. I think it is amazing that you guys rescued your horses. ❤

[@bramblesbriarsfarm7007]

@Dede Tudor me too! That would have definitely put a downer on my day!

[@garyb4929]

I've got the old Craftsman/sears multi pack for about 15 yrs, still running, batteries have had to be replaced, couple times. A smooth trotting horse was a blessing back in cowboy days & traveling lg ranch pastures. Have safe HOA trip

[@tonimitchell9930]

You need a camera that you can wear on your head since you always need 2 hands to do what you do. We dig a big hole and put DE in it. They chickens go in it an take a dust bath in it and that seems to keep the mites away. I feel the same way about changing seasons with the exception of winter. I always want it to leave earlier than it wants too. Sometimes here in Montana winters last way too long.

[@dblue3710]

Loved how beautiful the horses were as they ran into the pasture!

[@Candylandavenue1]

I love how Ben just took the initiative to gently grab that chicken & then get so excited about doing it!! 😂 "look mom I did it!!" OH my ❤️, Ben is the most precious little boy!!! Mom & Dad, you're raising an amazing little man!!

[@meganestep910]

Y’all are looking trim and fit, I watched your recent video about juicing and your dietary changes it is showing!

[@JenniferG728]

Beautiful horses!

[@catcolbert9044]

If they had mites, how do you treat them? Dust them with Diatomatious earth?

[@privatesuzie4071]

Didn’t even know you had horses! I watch everything ....do you ever ride?

[@alaskabeezy9074]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you guys work with your horses more and make a video especially for having a "homestead horse"!! Theres alot of equestrians that get very serious about the horse thing and spend an extraordinary amount of money on there horses which is understandable if your competing in professional events and stuff but not too many people talk about how to care for just an old family trail horse. I feel like the way horse ownership is portrayed alot of the time makes people feel unable and nervous to care for a horse. I would love to see a vlog or maybe a few vlogs on how you guys care for your horses and work with them to show everyone that it doesn't have to be such an extravagant expense and that they are truly just as normal as any other homestead animal. 😊 Prayers for a safe trip to HOA you guys!! ❤❤

[@GrowYourGroceries]

Lindsay West seconded!

[@blessthismayroad9397]

Miah’s dance in the chicken yard had me rolling. 😂😂😂😂

[@liarossi123]

Love the video AND hello skinny Jess! Your hard work and healthy diet shows! Hope you are also feeling great! 🍎 🥬 🍌

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Thank you so much!!! I do feel really good! The scale has stopped moving but clothes are steadily fitting better, so i'm not worried about weight! Thank you again, you made my day!

[@SBECKTRADITIONS]

Ummm. I need five on your eating regime.... Girl you look GOOD!!!! ☺️

[@cariloves6577]

SBECK TRADITIONS seriously! Whatever they’re doing is awesome!

[@t3mptr3s]

I'm really loving the Monday with Miah videos.

[@vahlla78]

I love that y'all rescued the horses. They are majestic beautiful creatures. Ben is super cute as always, doing what Mommy does. Have a wonderful safe trip!

[@ramibu239]

"...your feed bucket brings all the girls to the yard!"🤣😂🤣😂

[@vblacktravel]

Please convince VW Farms they need some horses with their 150 head of cattle. Love that you rescued these horses...they look very happy.

[@cafedunier]

Thank you for showing your beautiful horses :). I'd love to see a video of you training them and your methods.

[@shadowlandsfarmandcreamery5400]

I loved Jess' expression when she just pushed the squawking chicken's head back down😂

[@Candylandavenue1]

Did that horse just break wind & take off running??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying! Nice ending 😭

[@RootsandRefugeFarm]

Haha, he's notorious for it. Luke, our gassy guy.

[@Candylandavenue1]

Roots and Refuge Farm I have replayed that about 20 times, laughing my head off! My husband & his friend at work are currently dying laughing watching this! 🤣

[@tubeagespank]

I started switching from Craftsman (cordless) to DeWalt when Sears closed in my area. Wow, DeWalt's stuff is great.

[@GraceHomesteadFarm]

We have always used craftsman until Hubby bought a used dewalt drill. I love using it and it has been a great drill. We bought a new dewalt drill the other day...had it 2 hours and drilled 5 holes (running electric wire) and burned the motor up!! It was so hot and had the worst smell!. We were so surprised and the store was as well.

[@thebilkurrahomestead3065]

So glad I’m not the only one who regularly looks at udders, we are expecting another baby calf soon and udder / behind checking has become another chore. 🤣 Thanks for sharing with us ❤️❤️❤️.

[@Robynsonfire]

Fancy seeing you here 💗

[@thebilkurrahomestead3065]

Haha Fancy that.❤

[@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550]

🤩❤you have the best kids❤🤩

[@emilyhunt8853]

I really miss the animal centric videos. The garden is great, but I found you through the goat videos 😚

[@bethanysantillan4331]

Now Dewalt has multi-volt batteries I think. So you can use the same battery for all your tools.

[@lisac2766]

Tip for wet electronics and tools is also to put them in a tub of rice. It works really well. You can also put a few grains of rice in your salt shaker if its clumping up from humidity :)

[@lisac2766]

Dry uncooked rice

[@Freakontheway]

Yey, finally caught you in time! Thank you for sharing your life

[@gailmcdonald1946]

This old video is just super precious,❤❤❤ I forgot this one. Ben cracked me up with. “Hey mum,I got one 😂” a topsy -turvy chicken in hand. That’s a farm boy for sure.

[@Robynsonfire]

OH MY GOSHHHHH! BEN IS MY FAVORITE. I rewound the video like 3 times just to hear that proud laugh of his!!!! He's just the sweetest

[@intownlimits159]

THATS SHIRT DESIGN!.. "My feed bucket brings the girls to the yard" .. with a pic of Miah bending over pouring feed with the chickens and goats all around! .... HAHAH.. See yall soon at HOA. Be careful.

[@TheOldMayfieldPlace]

Weather change = fresh horses. Fun to watch, but not so fun to ride. They are beautiful! Do you follow a certain trainer/program to train your horses?

[@victoriabryce1683]

IM SO HAPPY TO SEE THE HORSES! I had asked about them in a previous video. You don’t show them a lot but I love to see them! I have always been interested in horses my whole life but I can’t ride them because of a spinal cord injury I have.

[@roselauder]

Jessica's trick with that chicken upside down... Chicken whisperer!

[@mugglemunchies3327]

Thank you for rescuing those beautiful horses!

[@hellogoodbye9086]

Hi Miah! Try some dry rice around your tools. dry rice absorbs moisture.

[@thepickincoopfarmstead]

Great information on the chicken mites. New chicken mom here. Thank you ❤

[@tennisisme222]

I don't have chickens but I learned something new...how to hold them when inspecting for mites. :) I add Apple Cider Vinegar to my quail's water to hopefully help with a lot of things.

[@bev.albright6873]

Sweet Miah shaking the orange bucket reminded me of Jim Belushi!! 😆

[@tjwilson1591]

Ben is so cute, catching that chicken! Quite a few piglets, too! My ex-husband swore by DeWalt tools, in Alaska! He never had to replace them! Good for you! I worked with horses for years! Love them! So happy you rescued yours, wish I could have them, but Alaska is not kind to horses.

[@justanotheryummymumm]

72 degrees is our summer here in Vancouver Canada..our low last night was 4 celcius with a windchill. Despite our cold, I don't think I could handle Arkansas and the heat/humidity.

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

I am guessing that the molt and the heat were extra stressing on the girls. Is it possible they have found a new place to lay? My hubby is a DeWalt fan as well.

[@margierousu468]

Happy horses..lol...my daughter has rescued about 15....bless you for that...have a great time at your HOA meet. Safe travels to all of you!💜

[@territn8871]

Just found your channel and subscribed! Loved seeing your horses! I think it's great you have rescues. They're beautiful!

[@straubdavid9]

Heh heh .... Ben is now a chicken wrangler ~8^) Lovin those horses .... all very handsome! Have fun at your conference ... take care.

[@chrisderouchey1491]

Jess - Your hair looks great in this video. What is your hair care routine? I have naturally curly hair as well and can't keep the frizz down. I'm also in dry Arizona. Thanks love!

[@veracampbell9583]

Wonderful video guys. Love seeing all the animals. The horses are beautiful.

[@campbellcrew5277]

What do you do for the chickens if they do have mites? Also do you have any recommended seed places for flowers? I’m obsessed with Dahlias!

[@theheritagehousesc]

Have you try giving the a high protein food? That would make them get out and laying again fast. Mealworms or puppy chow may help.

[@PatricesProjects]

I appreciate you sharing about what tools you use, and why. I am looking to buy a few new tools and want to make solid purchases. It seems that Jess is always checking out butts. Hmmm. Lol. I am disappointed that there won't be babies any time soon too. Kids are so entertaining.

[@encouraginggrowthwithkelse2568]

"My grain bucket brings all the girls to the yard!" lmao! Good one Jess! Tell Miah, he now has no excuse not to do the "get up" challenge! hahaha

[@kailesancez]

Well I know where I will be getting our horses. :) I didn't know you could rescue them from that. that brings me lots of joy!

[@yourstruly_diane]

Had some health issues crop up and I’m not gonna make it to HOA. Super sad I won’t be able to meet y’all. :(

[@emmolilly]

Hahah!! The ole buck n fart 💨 😂😂 Miah held it together better then I would have. I would have lost it laughing

[@MsJodiHolmes]

Maverick is limping in this video and a previous video I've seen.. just an FYI

[@srlee203]

Fall is definitely here in Kansas as well. We're supposed to be at a high of 48 Friday, with a chance of first frost that night! God Bless!

[@asliceofheavenhomestead3559]

😂😂😂, "my feed bucket brings all the girls to the yard"... That's totally stuck in my head now!!

[@donnarichey144]

We have 13 chickens and molting all summer. Get 1 or 2 eggs and that is all.

[@Myster80s]

You might try that old trick of putting dry rice in the tool box to suck up all the moisture and humidity. Works on cell phones.

[@welcometosusansneighborhoo5070]

Mondays with Maih . He got himself out of that right quick

[@Temarama7]

Was viewing a video a while back of an elderly farmer who says chickens do not need grains they lived off his compost pile and he said the eggs so much more healthier wish i had the link if i come across it i will send it for comparison again eternal blessings too you two and your family so precious to see your little guy mimic you and succeeded with that chicken truly inspiring

[@joanneganon7157]

I found ur videos by accident , and I want to tell u they are amazing ! I was wondering , do I have a video on what to do and how to do ,,,, with all the food u get from the garden ?

[@shannonstephens4245]

The mites will go in the anus to hide! If you take the feathers around it they will leave!

We finally got a break from the heat here as well. I planted a lot of fall crops few weeks ago and a lot of them didn't make it because it was hard to keep them watered. We have a bit of a drought here at the moment. Hopefully that will end soon as well
