Feliz cumpleaños a las mujercitas de casa!!🎂🎊🎈🎁🎁💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🥰❤️ ❄️

[@stephenbabine3325]

Off topic but since I have started watching some of the KZbin videos of barbers/ beard trimmers doing their thing, it would be great to see Josh get a cut/trim on one of them. Good way to intro those who may not be aware of your channel and do the same for the barber 👍

[@RedondoBeach2]

Unsure if the holes are drilled in the right spot for proper alignment? An easy way to get a much better idea is to lay one end of the tarp at the edge of a line of drilled holes. Then steps far back, possibly to the porch of your home and assess the positioning from a distance. Alternatively, get a drone in the sky and look down at the positioning of the holes/tarp. You're doing great. Remember to take a little time to warm up in front of your wood burning stove.

Happy Birthday Erin & Ellie, what a perfect present for you two ... a really pretty cow!!

[@TraumaSurvivorCynthia]

Agreed!! 💯🐮 #davesandersstepdaughter

[@BirdYoumans]

Erin, from one editor to another, I am just constantly amazed at how good your story telling has gotten and all the little "aside" shots you do that always enhance the flow of your vids. I watch a lot of vids on youtube and I'm always interested in how the "films" are put together. Yours are always at the top of the list. Kudos for a job well done! The extra time you take with all the little details shows. I'm sure even those who have never edited anything, tho they might not notice each little thing, they know it's a level above just because of the look and feel and flow of the work. You and Josh make such a good team. You both have an attention to detail that is just amazing. Have a great year!! Oh, love the cow!!

[@WildWonderfulOffGrid]

Aw thank you so much! It means a lot that you notice the "little things" 😊

[@ktkrogstad]

@@WildWonderfulOffGrid It certainly doesn't go unnoticed. Your storytelling, cinematography, and overall quality are bounds beyond the youtube standard of content. Incredible work, Erin!

[@slp5680]

@@WildWonderfulOffGrid I've always thought you had an entire camera crew there. You seriously do the filming/editing by yourselves??? The music alone seems like it was done by a professional 👏 Amazed, as always.

[@Valerie_Dawn]

Those little shots like the snow landing on the white down feather clinging to the bares stems in the grass... Shots like that make me pay more attention when it's just music playing. The animals all look so happy except for the naked necked turkeys. They just look cold.

[@JustJokes-bw4fs]

I've never edited but I have noticed it too. It makes for more pleasant viewing.

[@richardficara4968]

Love how this is transitioning into a farm build. Beautiful family. Happy Birthday Erin and Ellie.

[@klazyy641]

Leon looks so majestic with the snow on his coat and that knowing look on his face🙂. Your new addition to the farm is a great choice on so many levels---the most important, of course, is that it is yours and your daughter's birthday present. Ellie always takes to new creatures with such enthusiasm and love that they just have to return it to her. Nice episode, y'all. Oh, and great 'save' on tractor tire, too. . . .

Happy Birthday Erin and Ellie. I've used the ratchet strap method for years. I have found that on tires that have 10 plys or more that have stiff sidewalls, that a inflated bicycle inner tube between the tire and wheel, lubricated with soapy water works better. Bike tubes are cheap and easier than using a ratchet strap that now is under a lot of pressure to release. I've seen the, spray starting fluid in the tire wheel assembly and igniting trick before, but I'm not a fan of exploding a tire feet away from me.

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Happy Birthday Erin!! What a great present!!! A cutie, to be sure!!!

[@jennywagner2448]

Happy Birthday Erin & Ellie!!! most wonderful gift ever she's beautiful!

Good morning guys, your new addition is beautiful and it looks like your calf has found his new best friend. 🥰 your farm is coming in together nicely. Can wait to see what's next.

[@franklindumas1978]

Happy Birthday Ellie & Erin! I said last week a dairy cow & she shows up this week, gorgeous cow, but didn’t expect anything less because beauty is your family, animals & home. I knew a family of 12 who had 1 cow & it supplied their needs daily. Carter will have a new chore & the cats will be supervisors with benefits. Fun to watch your adventurous lives expand! A great beginning to a new year.

[@uweschuttoff7411]

Thats right, you can NOT seperate twins - even cows...

[@randalllaue4042]

Will the cow produce milk? Does it have to have calf for that? Have to wait for that, or can you have “Donated” deposit? When can the black bull produce? Are you naming the black bull? Is it a meat animal?

[@Mazlem]

Two birthdays, two cows!

[@donnathecoach]

Happy Birthday, Erin and Ellie! What a beautiful milk cow you have, it's so nice to you excited Erin 🙂, I think Josh is excited because you are! You all look so happy!

Happy Birthday Ellie & Erin!🎂🎉🥳

[@estepcreativedesign3744]

Ellie’s enthusiasm for every aspect of life is infectious! ☺️ It makes me miss when my boys were little! Congrats on milk cow status…moving on up 😆 We have some prego Nigerian Dwarf goats 🐐 that should have babies in a few months if that sounds like a fun addition to your farm in the spring! 🌺 We are in VAcjust 10 miles or so from the WV line in Fulks Run. I really like your homestead and it helps me appreciate living on ours.

Happy Birthday Erin and Ellie!!! Your beautiful Jersey cow looks very happy to be part of the family. She’s going to enjoy the pampered Wild Wonderful lifestyle.

[@pama.6410]

What a great birthday present! Happy Birthday Erin and Ellie!!! Glad you made the round trip safely! The milk cow is beautiful and I'm so happy she loves the little calf and they have each other. What a shocker to see Frankie looking so BIG! He isn't a pup any more. Leon seems to be adjusting to life on the pasture. Not loving it, but not bucking it either. Still misses not being part of the family. Great fix on the tractor tire. Carter is learning the ropes from you Josh! Smart to cover the holes. Not sure everyone would think to do that. Have a great week!!!

[@jmwarden1]

To bad the lumber didn't make it under the tarp also.

She is very beautiful and so calm. He is so sweet too. Both seem to be adjusting so well. Congrats.

[@davidepool5884]

Happy birthday Erin & Ellie. You can seal a tire bead onto the rim by spraying something combustible like WD40 into the tire and lighting it on fire. It’s called tire explosion bead setting. There are video’s on KZbin. You can also use ratchet straps.

[@nobiedupree5916]

My hubby does that. Scary though..

[@robertphillips9017]

I suspect that it is a technique you should learn from someone experienced rather than trial and (potentially disastrous) error.

[@bryantfamilyrules]

Ether is more combustible and is super handy to have around. I was hoping someone would mention this method though. 👍🏼

Did Erin just say, “It’s a bute Clark”? Awesome!!!! Lol

[@josephbrown-ut9ty]

JudithB LOL! I received a Jersey heifer for one of my birthdays! She had never been handled, had horns and was due to calf soon. I was scared but got her use to eating in a stansion, and I brushed her daily. One day, there was a calf and it was time to start milking. I asked my neighbor in his 70s for help, he just pushed her to the wall, sat down and started milking. It was amazing! I named her Chance after the Waltons cow, and we became good friends over the years. Good luck!!

Happy Birthday Erin and Ellie! Anther enjoyable video from this wonderful family. I look forward to each one and they just keep getting better...I know, that is hard to believe but I think it is true. The videography is so amazing. I think that this couple exemplifies what it means to keep trying things to find skills and talents that you didn't know that you possessed. There is a lot of talent and skill on display with this loving family. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@vaalrus]

I’ve done the ratchet-strap and “bazooka” trick to inflate tractor and other tires, and it’s always been a fight. Then my new favorite Tire Guy showed up to help, and he slathered that loose-bead section with a few pounds, of all things, canola grease. Kept the air in, the tire caught the bead, and he scooped up the grease for the next tire. Beats the heck out of that starting-fluid-and-a-match trick.

[@olddaphon]

Happy Birthday Erin & Ellie, have a great day with your new friend.

[@cheryllynn8209]

Happy Birthday! Erin and Ellie 🥳 🐄. May God Bless You both. Josh great thinking on getting the tractor tire fixed. The new addition to the animal family is beautiful. When I was a kid we had a Guernsey cow that produced almost 4 gallons of the best tasting milk a day. Needless to say we had lots of yummy homemade butter and cottage cheese growing up. Stay Happy 😂 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞

[@dalesteffen985]

Nice to see you are building the farm up with your animals and Happy Birthday. One thing you will need to watch out for with the two cows is that the little one doesn't try to start nursing on the new cow. It doesn't have milk in her udder now but just the calf trying WILL have the larger cows hormones start trying to produce which will give the cow a dead quarter you can't milk once she does have a calf if her own. Or it will be problematic with mastitis.

[@RAYOFSONLITE]

What a sweet new addition. Happy Birthday ladies.
