The Great Cattle Caper

Plan the work, then work the plan! We have to move a lot of cattle today, and we'll see how that goes...
-We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors
-We do not sell from the farm
-We do not ship our farm's products
-We do not sell live animals

It’s wonderful to see the old tractors working after restoration so beautifully to watch work them. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@beckyrobinson5672]

I'm glad you take good care of your animals. Your wife is a very good worker. I really enjoy watching videos on your farm. Take care and God bless.

[@Timboy4421052]

TO EVERYONE, Don’t forget to watch the full ads or at least 30 seconds of longer ads to help support this awesome channel!

[@machinist7230]

Unfortunately, all I got was ads for, ugh... Green tractors. 🤮

[@memasam1]

I love the way you two work together ❤

[@ElectricScot]

That's an amazing operation. I'd be totally lost trying to do this.... well done you!!!

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

Pete, I feel the way you and Hillary manage your farm is fine. Doing what you guys did today is sort of like a good work out. Keeps ya healthy. You really get to know your animals intimately knowing which animal is “off” or otherwise. Bigger farmers I think would miss that and that could in some cases prove a very costly ways of farming. At any rate I really enjoy your videos.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I'm enjoying Hillary's added involvement in videos!

[@jakeschroeder1553]

What's more fun than herding a bunch of cows? Herding a bunch of cows with a camera in your hand!

[@billsrq1788]

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida I can smell the ammonia all the way down here lol

[@timdavis1440]

Pete., you ned to get Hillary more involved she is just absolutely adorable :)

[@philthycat1408]

And here’s me thinking it was all done with a lasso and a horse. Care and patience appears to work a lot better. 👍👍👍

[@55dennie]

Very nice industrial sized pooper scooper!! 😊

[@janetyurkin822]

You and Hilliary certainly earn your money! Just watching you two work the gates had me exhausted! Your videos are so entertaining as well as educational. Never understand why some people call farmers dumb. All the work and planning that goes into running a farm requires intelligence, and a lot of common sense! Enjoyed watching the 3 girls mud wrestling to see who’s top 🐄🐮

[@348Tobico]

Nobody with a whit of sense calls anyone who works a farm dumb. If you hear those words uttered just realize the one speaking is the dumb person.

[@Roger-rn9sj]

My 11 year old daughter and I love your chanal. Your philosophy on life in general, closely matches mine. Waiting for a "new just a few" We watch reruns all day long sometimes. We would love to watch a spin off that stars your better half. "Advetures of Hillary" Her side of the story. I hope you take this seriously I'm sure it would be big a hit. Sending love and happiness, your biggest fans Roger and Etta.

[@AutoCrete]

I do have to admire the attention and thought that goes into your breeding program. The shuffling of cattle from pen to pen in the right order reminds me of a game of spider solitaire. Still, it's nice to see someone making do with what is on hand.

[@richardlwellington]

Man I am exhausted just watching you all moving the cows around.

[@notacyborg]

The slopping around in the mud at the end was some nice ASMR.

[@janusaflorida7909]

Enjoyed watching the process and thought involved, and patience.

[@mobayguy]

Hey Pete - Thanks for having us over again - brings me back great memories of my childhood every time. Ezra stopped by for afternoon tea yesterday and we had a grand time. You and Hilary should join us sometime. All the best to you and your family. Oh, Patty called and well... oh boy, I thought I was a complainer - Yikes

[@jenniferwiilis5267]

So nice to see the beautiful Hilary

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Enjoyed this one very much. I like the way you two work together to move your animals, having an understanding of which way to move to accomplish where you want them. It is nice to listen to you talk to them. My husband hasn't a clue even with a cat. He always moves the wrong way when we need to capture one to medicate or crate for the vet. Just not his thing. But what can you say, it is only for a cat. But believe me a tame house cat can become spooked too and then it is a problem. Keep up the good work. Take Care.

[@steveperyer4850]

Always a busy day on the farm. Thank you for taking us along on the farm

[@jeffbrandon9179]

Great job, Hillary, on separating the cattle.. Take a victory lap!!

[@grammybear4226]

🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 69 yr old grandma in Texas, USA. 🐼 ❤ 🎀 👍 🧚‍♂ 🐈 🧚

[@TerryMcGinn]

I loved this! I will use this video, and your commentary, the next time someone asks what I'm doing on the weekend and I say "we're moving/separating cows" and they think it's just a simple matter of opening a gate or two. It's a lot of work... even when most of the herd is friendly, like yours (...and sometimes I think that makes it harder).

[@jimoconnor6850]

Hillary sorting out the last cow... Arms in the air. "YESSS" !!!! TOO FUNNY (All Pete did was run the gate) Now we know the true cattle herder! HA Enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@alansimmonds9030]

Good job Pete....There's never a dull day on the farm.

[@safaqi01]

I just started watching so I'm not sure if this is a "thing", but I love when he says "Cmon cows!" Lol.

[@jamesfarmer4013]

Graduate of UT in 1983. Like the shirt!!!!

[@carolynvantol9068]

I love Hilary… what a lovely person she seems to be.

[@Big-Char.]

Pete enjoyed watching you and Hillary working the cows.I to have a small farm and can never get enough of your videos. Thanks for all yall do.

[@davidstreadl6062]

Pete you are so fortunate to have such a helpful partner!

[@bodenma]

Glad to see the Tennessee shirt - Go Vols

[@TruthSearchingiAm]

Moooving cow takes patience for sure! 🐮😊🐄🐄

[@JamesCouch777]

I suppose there is a channel somewhere about going to work everyday in the corporate world but I can't imagine who would watch it. Good job of sorting the cattle 👍

[@unclesquirrel6951]

And another great video

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Orton throwing the mud/dirt! Made my day!

[@priceringo1756]

I love the new perspective of your cattle operation. I have always worked in large engineering organizations. Engineers are moved from project to project (pastures). Senior leads placed on the same project always leads to turf wars. The parallels are many. I will just keep my head down and keep working on my patch of grass.

[@gatorguy7711]

Another great video! You are a lucky man to have such a good partner...

[@TheGardenerNorth]

In the beginning I was bewildered, but in the end, chaos never seemed so organized. Exactly how I like to do things myself.

[@sharonhixson7610]

lol - I love your sense of humor. Seems your cows do too!!!

[@lourdesaguirre4882]

Wow!!! Farming is certainly a true task and dedication and love is certainly required, not to mention management.

[@megb9700]

I like Hillary’s dry sense of humor. Pete must work hard mentally to try to get ahead of her.

[@cathyp4342]

All this while holding a camera - what an accomplishment!

[@kingyeuyam10]

Good morning Pete and Hillary 😍🍀👍

[@johnsandell4501]

We herd you loud and clear. Nice sorting!

[@chickensandadumplin326]

Pete, i think the only thing that goes according to plan in farming is that nothing goes according to plan.. but we are a strong breed and we push on and make due with what we have. Farm life is the best life. And mrs hill we farm wives are indeed the muscle of the operation we are stronger than people think and sometimes more than we ourselves know especially when up in the wee morning hours helping one of the farm animals with a difficult birth, it's a beautiful thing. Y'all be safe and well, keep doing what your doing and may blessings be upon you ❤👨‍🌾👩‍🌾🚜 p.s. sorry about the tractor emoji color, i know reds your thing but its the only color it came in🤷‍♀️

[@springhollerfarm8668]

Love the 3 way cow fight at the end...

[@ChattNCC]

Always love your videos Pete. Super to see you repping Tennessee! You are blessed to have Hillary as a partner. Take care and be well.

[@buddyphelps9692]

YOU GUY'S ARE A GOOD TEAM, THE WIFE IS A HARD WORKER. LUCKY YOU

[@jcamisa50]

Love it , love it. Pete your great. At least Hillary helped you. Great vid. See you next time !!!1❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@franjohns2612]

Hey Hillary & Pete, love to watch you guys work together

[@chrismorgan6898]

I would have to say, the Caper was a huge success!

[@johnnyman6098]

John MINN, When we had to move heifers, we had to get built up for about a week before the "rodeo" started. brought back alot of memories!

[@moosiem60]

wish television was this good y'all blow tv away thanks y'all

[@sgrvtl7183]

Thank you for all the information. I always enjoy watching the animals. You Two are a good team!

[@chrisdalebout5106]

The caper was hilarious 😂. Thank you for sharing.

[@bobmacrae8395]

We used to have to discard the hay bales that were on the bottom of the pile that we stored in our barn. It had a dirt floor and open front and back and water would ruin a few bales every year. Then my Dad thought 'i'll just line the floor of the barn with old pallets'. They're free and everywhere and business's were just happy to get rid of them (for free - we shoulda charged in hind sight :))

[@alisonhobson9875]

Hi Pete. I recently started watching your channel and enjoy it very much. I am 85 years old and live on the north shore of Lake Ontario now but I spent my childhood living in a small village north of Toronto. I'm a country girl and proud of it. Our village was surrounded by farms and I had friends who lived on farms so I spent time there too. I also spent a lot of time wandering the countryside in the days when no one cared if you trekked across their land and I seldom saw a No Trespassing sign. So your videos take me back to those days. You have a good life and you work hard and it's obvious that you are happy doing it. I really like the way you name all your cows and call them by name and they seem to talk to you. Thanks so much for sharing what you do.

[@kenuber4766]

As Hillary would say..."You're all hat and no Cattle"!! HaHaHa That was a classic.

[@guadalupelazar2384]

U GUYS ARE VERY VERY GOOD FARMER UR NOT MEAN & CRUEL TO UR COWS U TREAT THEM W/ KINDNESS NOT AN ABUSEVE

[@KCFarms]

Good teamwork guys! Enjoyed the video

[@spingirl4855]

Great creative video thanks for sharing Pete!

[@claytonkeys7555]

I love your channel y'all are so cute together hello from Tennessee

[@santoshgurung638]

I was sick for coupl of days and miss urs video..now feeling better nd back to urs video...wow...nice work

[@richardmattaliano5649]

Pete!!!! Raising cattle isn't simple!!!!! You're selling yourself short. How about saying raising cattle isn't simple...... especially doing it while you have a video camera in one hand, worrying about your tripod getting trampled, making sure your video shot isn't of clouds, weeds or dirt*, and all the while keeping up a running (and informative / entertaining) narrative on what's going on and why!! I wonder if your viewers actually realize what goes on behind the scenes? Amazing....absolutely amazing. Please keep up the "Good Work". Rich from PA. * = I was going to say something else but I didn't want to lose the PG rating.

[@craigculver1933]

Great job sorting out the cattle, Growing up on a dairy farm I understand how much work goes into moving cows. There's times got to be light on your feet or get hurt.

[@GeorgiasGarden]

What makes a gardener so jealous.....seeing the manure pile and being so envious.I need that manure. Bet you never had a comment like this one Pete 😂.

[@kevintwombly1472]

After watching Pete and Hilarie rebuild their family Farm Home in 1990, anything he builds or rebuilds is a special treat to watch. IMPRESSIVE!!!! Is what he did to that falling down roached out house. It gives us a GOOD feeling that Pete represents small family farmers in New England. I came from one in Southern Vermont.

[@stanleyschafer4232]

Hello Pete and Hillary. It looks like you too have planned your capers very well in the barnyard. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🇺🇸

[@larryrogers4567]

Your so lucky to have so many tractors to work with. Almost one for every task. Most small farmers only have one or maybe two. When had my small part time farm up in Maine I used a CK 5 Jeep. That was my tractor/skidder/errand truck etc.

[@whitetailjunkie]

Another great video. Thanks for bringing reality to do many who have no idea of what is involved in raising animals for food!

[@larrygulick3778]

Hillary is a great farm hand. You two are a great team.

[@johndeere-yk6db]

Oh how I remember the days of sorting cattle. Was always a glitch. Usually two or three attempts.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

You have some real good analogies in this one, the cows stick together like gum, like it. Cows are certainly creatures of habit and routine. You handled them good, slow and steady, that's the best way. Good plan Pete, I think you and Hilarie did great, cattle are just a hard bunch to handle under any condition and you had some muddy conditions to deal with. Thanks for sharing, I hope you and Hilarie have a great day.

[@blockaid]

Enjoyed this video very much. Great teamwork.

[@robertlegare3715]

Pete/Hillary, It’s great to watch your videos, my son who is in his 3rd year of residency In Pa, wants to eventually end up with a small farm like yours. Thanks for what you do!

[@bay9876]

A little cattle prodding to get these behemoths going. After a round of plentiful moos, the cattle find their way. It's a good day to watch.

[@gailgaddy5340]

Oh my goodness musical cows and Bull and calves . Lol. Good video thanks 😊

[@plowahead1581]

Love seeing the basics. Cows, mud, cows, mud, sort, gate, sort. gate. It's farm reality. Love it!

[@Freezin44]

Man, every time I see you scooping manure I think to myself, “ Jeez that’s a crappy job!” 😎

[@dixiehulings9082]

Hi Pete it was nice to meet you at the farmers market. The hamburger was delicious and the eggs are great. I ordered you book and looking forward to reading it. You and Hilary are doing something right. Great video love the cow's.

[@flybyairplane3528]

PETE, HI,,,watching REAL LIFE trying to SEPERATE the 2 from the herd for the butcher, ,not a simple job ,, stay wellGOD BLESS YOU ALL, until next time 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ericsadventures7548]

Love it when the herd gets back together

[@gailgaddy5340]

Oh my goodness musical cows and Bull. Lol. Good video thanks 😊

[@BealyGood]

Love your videos. Thanks for showing what happens with the cows. Just finished clearing pasture so hoping to have Dexters in 1-2 years.

[@jeffphillips6919]

Luv it when a “working the cattle “ plan comes together to almost perfection! Titus got to within about 15 yards of improvise the plan QUICKLY! Lol GREAT TEAMWORK! 🙏

[@OasisAcres42]

Just watched with my daughter :) we love your content :)

[@wyattjohnston4280]

This brings back so many good memories of when me and my family were farming

[@RatdogDRB]

Pete/Hil, it's always a joy watchin' the two of you teamed up and managing all those "kids" like you do.

[@teddyhammack2195]

It’s a hand full , but that’s the way it goes sometimes as a kid we would do it, we bring them in the pen to spaying them down good because of flies.

[@michaelellard4664]

Good evening from Cork Ireland.

[@gbentley8176]

Excellent work Pete. What you need are a pair of Corgis. Bred in Wales to herd cattle by going to nip their legs. God Bless from UK.

[@mrsrichter8586]

Those cows though! They have to be of the most vocal cows I have ever seen hahaha. I just love this farm and its hoomans and moos!

[@dr.kangaroo3142]

Glad we could help you get that calf from behind the tractor 😊

[@BeeHus2256]

Love the shirt today! Go Big Orange! Tennessee Vols!!!!!

[@JM-me1vh]

😂 I am totally agree about cattle, you’ve got to let them think it was their idea.

[@admar9520]

Pete knows his stuff👍

"The Maginot Line" Good one Pete. No tmany people even have a clue what it was (wasn't).
