I really enjoyed the days when the show included a family meal and blessings. One the hallmarks of family strength is prayer and breaking bread together. You can afford to discount naysayers ❤️ We love your togetherness.

[@brendahyslop6770]

Living Traditions Homestead is one of my favorite vlogers I watch faithfully, like I watch your channel. They are very thoughtful homesteaders, and really think through their choices in the things that they do. I do not know if this will work for you, however, they installed a fence system for their very large garden and orchard not only incorporating their fowl in the center of it. Not only does it keep the deer out, but provides them a chicken/duck run also. Apparently, deer (I don't know if this applies to moose) do not have great vision tp judge distance. They installed a double fence around their garden/orchard...go to their channel, it is worth a look at what they did, just a FYI. Love you guys, I am always praying for you.

My 70+ year-old husband had to take two days to pound in 6 10-foot T-posts - after doing 3 of them the first day he had pain in his chest that reminded him of when he'd had a heart-attack 5 years ago! Finished it up this morning and I told him he'd gotten his upper body work-out!

Good 🌄 morning to the Lumnah Family and all visitors to the OGP site! That's a lot of fencing! You might need tracking collars to find your livestock in that brush. As for triggering labor, I advise a pizza with everything on it! As for this week, let's do our best to be kind and laugh a lot!😅

[@stephenoshaughnessy2279]

I live in the northern Central Valley of California. The high temp today was 92. We have had any rain since early April, and won't see any rain at least to November, maybe December. Because of that dryness, we don't have mosquitos, horse flies, or other annoying insects. Moreover, dry conditions are much more comfortable to work in.

[@lauriesmith7793]

The cows are gonna love their new turn out. Great job Al and Gina.

[@reneebrown2968]

I can usually cool down but if I'm cold, I'm cold. So with that I'll be staying well south of the Mason/ Dixon line. Too cold up there for my bones. But I love watching your family doing what I wish I still could. Many thanks for all you do.

93 today in Canyon City, Colorado. We just took the train along the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.

[@artsmith4669]

I believe you said that you lost one sheep because of worms, I’ve heard since you don’t use chemicals for your livestock that you can have burn piles in several pastures, the animals will eat charcoal which is a natural product to avoid worms in animals. Great job of expanding the fence for pastures. Looking forward to new livestock up coming.🙏👍👍👍👍

[@4Classie]

The One Sheep died a day after getting to farm, so the worm issue was already detrimental !

The best way to keep moose from destroying your fences is to keep them in your freezer. 🐿️

[@StoneKathryn]

[@davidgetchell3633]

Bill, it's a little bit hard to claim all them moose in the freezer were just "ROAD KILL" !!!

[@russellwatters5891]

​@davidgetchell3633 In most states, even "road kill" has to be reported, especially if it's a game specie. 😊

[@kenshores9900]

Moose sausage!!!!!

[@williamdegnan4718]

The moosees (moose, meese?) are on thin ice. And there's no need to shoot, shovel and shut up. If you can make the case that the animal is not being a good neighbor the farmer can punch its ticket and report it to the game warden. As I read the statute, they investigate to make sure of the justification. The baggar gets to keep the baggee or it can be donated to an organization like mooseburgers for the hungry. N.H. Rev. Stat. § 207:22 to 207:30 I am paraphrasing. Your mileage may vary. I cannot advise you as an attorney. I am not an attorney and I am specifically not _your_ attorney.

[@sharper6577]

My grandmother taught me that chickens need meat sometimes. The chickens who peck others have a protein deficiency. Maybe build them a maggot bucket or toss them a raw burger now and then.

[@MacBailey]

They have a 'bit' attachment for your hammer drill which drives t-posts. You could throw one of your portable power stations in the back of the SxS to power it. You are putting in a lot of posts. There is also a t-post lever type puller they have at HF if you do not have one, when you move them.

[@lindamoore691]

So when are you going to make the trip to the Cross Timber Bison Ranch and bring back your own Bison ?

[@albigham66]

Yes, Al, you definitely need a POWER T-Post Drive. Think as many T-Posts that you put in, oh my goodness, you really need a Power T-Post. Jason on Cog Hill Farm has one. Jason says it's a huge blessing to have one!!!!! We're just thinking of ways to help you!!!!❤❤❤

[@josephkaiser800]

Al you need to put up all that grass into hey. Moose in the fence. The only way I know is to use Jack fencing. With all the feed you have available you could maybe have 100 head of beef, at lease for the Spring-Fall.

This isn't using T-posts, but Simple Living Alaska on KZbin moose-proofed their entire HUGE garden area in the episode: "Raised Beds for the Garden/Moose proof fencing built to last"

[@reneebrown2968]

I'll take the rain and humidity rather than dry. I was born in California so I very much appreciate humidity and rain. As a kid during the summer you wanted to be in a pool from 9 am till 6 or 7pm, or suffer heatstroke.

The original "Oh so Soft" skin lotion from Avon makes an effective repellent. It contains citronella. I often use it at this time of the year when I'm working in my woodland.

Living Traditions Homestead uses a vibrating t-post installer that makes quick work of putting in t-posts, even in rocky soil. I think they put in something like 60 t-posts in twenty minutes, or something crazy like that. You should check it out.

[@pippaseaspirit4415]

Woven wire fencing 4’ tall with two hotwires above it (taking it to 5’6” in total) will keep most things out / in. The hotwires will catch the moose at nose level so should deter them from trying to push through the woven wire fencing. It won’t stop a full on charge, but if they approach at a slow enough pace that they check it out first it should stop them.

Deer flies are the scourge of summer. The upside is they tend to be the worst when the mosquitoes aren't as prevalent. The population density of deer flies varies from year to year.

[@virgilviereckjr.6881]

Great video, Thanks for sharing. I watch a homesteading couple up in Alaska. And to keep the moose out up there, they had their fencing 8 ft hi schedule 80 steel pipe and I think 2, or 3 feet of the pipe in the ground. Then they used husky cattle paneling, one stacked on top of the other, and all the way around the perimeter of their garden. Take care, all the best, & God bless, Sincerely, ✝️❤️🙏🇺🇸🗽🌊🌊⛴🌊🌊⚓️🙋🏻‍♂️

I put flagging on the electric wire.... they may hit it once if they are running but then they associate the flag with the Fence and the shock. If they are just grazing along, they won't voluntarily walk into it if they can see the flag tape.

[@marilynm7663]

You want moose proof fencing ? check Simple living Alaska ‘ s. (This spring). Building steel pipe garden fence 8’ (above ground) Steel pipe posts with horizontal “steel pipe bracing”. And welded wire fencing. But, you have boulders. Installation would be a nightmare. I know to keep horses in the double fence… ( fence inside a fence)

Electric wire is what I would guess would be best. They may respect the electricity better than fencing. You can do solar electric fence and put a larger panel and battery so it guarantees that it will stay working.

Al, I have never seen a moose-proof system that was cheap or easy enough to be portable for a seasonal ranging pasture. Even the serious elk / moose wire fencing on some big cattle ranches get jumped by the elk herds at will. Maybe just go with what you expect to keep your animals contained and accept that you'll need to repair it sometimes. I look forward to seeing what your new pasture animals will be.

[@curtgoss729]

Not sure but would electric fence work with moose? If so a trick we used to use to get cattle’s attention, we would tie strips of white cloth around the wire leaving the ends to blow. Cattle we’re curious and would come up and rub their nose on the cloth (wet nose) sure got their attention. Once was enough.

[@kaisenji]

You should build for the moos then. Simply Alaska did an amazing fence that is moose and deer proof using old oil drilling pipe and wrap wire, you should check out their channel.

[@catgynt9148]

Regarding your fence pose aerobics, you could couple it with stone throwing and boulder weight lifting. Will you be adding electricity to your fencing to deter moose and elk? Do you just relocate the cannibal chicken into the yard to free range outside of the chicken tractor or just convert it into squab?

[@raymondheckard234]

Al to keep moose out of and area you need a tall fence of at least 6 ft to 8 ft tall, short fencing of 4 ft the moose will jump over and rip down your wire. Also you can tie yellow caution tape on the wires of the fence it will also deter moose from crossing a fence, My friend live in Alaska and here and her husband deal with Moose and Caribou as well as bears, and she said only tall strong fencing works the best. She also said that a Moose can attack livestock to defend their territory or if they have taken over a feed yard or haystack. With you losing George and the fence was knocked down it could have been a moose got after him and caused his demise.
