That was the cutest thing was seeing your daughter laying with the calf!!!

[@freakoutyt5137]

Duuude did you just let a spoiler rip! 😂 I was looking forward to finding that out

Totally agree, heart melting picture

Was JUST going to say the same thing when I saw your comment. So beautiful 💖

Thanks for the info, now we don’t have to watch the episode.

[@urbanothepopeofdeath]

@@viciousct8176 so you read the comments first and then watch the video???

[@fisherus]

A photograph of Ellie with the calf laying together like you showed us in your video is front page material for the "Farmers Almanac." It just doesn't get any cuter than that! Such an adorable little girl who looks like her mother, Erin and is going to make her father, Josh, go a little crazy, when she gets to her teenage years.

[@greywolfwalking6359]

I would have to 200% agree, that Lil heartthrob Miss Ellie, is going to be breaking hearts all over those mountains!!!!

[@batteriesnotrequiredtoysth7271]

seeing Ellie and the calf snuggled into each other made my heart happy~! She has a heart as big as the sky :)

[@LittleMountainLife]

Aw Ellie getting her cuddles in is the cutest! That silo will be a game changer!

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Yay... new fur baby! I see Miss Ellie is right in there for the care of the new arrival..good for her!!

I've never seen such utter disgust on a sheep before.

[@ChosenOneOk]

[@crgmrgn]

Sure you've worked this out, but anyway … the butterfly brackets get bolted to the inside (not the outside as seen here ;) of the vertical legs, then the diagonal cross-braces will align so that they have a thru-bolt at the midpoint to form a secured X-brace. Loving the transformation to a small-holding ...

[@fredcory2686]

It is always wonderful seeing the kids involved. They will be so much better for it in the long run. Thanks for all you are doing

[@RA-tj8lv]

You both have great work ethic and Erin as fast as Josh hurt his back you could get something in your eyes or your hair could get tore off. Please both of you, wear eye protection and tye your hair back. I know it sounds preachy but all it takes is a SECOND to change your life forever!!! Love you guys 😊

[@mayorstoner3459]

That shot of Ellie cuddled up with that calf is just about the cutest thing on the planet.

[@warren519]

100% agree with you. What a wonderful sight!!!!!!

[@robshepherd3782]

Leon in the naughty corner. 😀 He is a proper sulker when he wants to be but a real character.

[@lloydlynn8084]

Greetings from far north Queensland Australia. I work for a rural supplies company and its great to see all the products you guys are using. Many of these things from boots to silos are pretty much what we sell here too although we live in a hot tropical climate. We run a very friendly customer focussed business and its great talking with all the farmers here about there experiences. We mainly service the banana, sugarcane and cattle industries although we also cover most other things as well. Ive been watching your show since the beginning and its amazing how far you have come. From an outsiders perspective it is truely a mammoth feat you guys have achieved. Well done.

[@markholmes1346]

What a beautiful baby! Your homestead is coming along nicely. What a awesome house and farm! Congrats guys! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@maxnex7676]

As cows are social animals it would have been nice to have seen at least another calf so they could keep company especially at night.

[@georgeglez8772]

A new video, nice, I love your show, very constructive and family oriented, thanks for sharing part of your life with us.

[@fuserk587]

Frankly I’m in awe of you guys. Not only building your off grid palace, but building & running a farm, raising & educating three children and creating a very successful KZbin channel. You should run us through a typical day-from early morning feedings, farm chores, family meals, kids’ lessons, project of the day. And finally fun, which you make sure to enjoy. I’m sure it would be amazing for most of us.

[@genegillis2068]

You guys are wonderful! My wife and I can’t wait for each new adventure? Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.

[@ronaldgaska4480]

Brings tears to my eyes seeing the love and care shown to your animals. Your videos bring joy into so many homes. Blessings for a happy New Year. Winter has finally hit coastal Connecticut.

It’s so beautiful to be in a place where you can enjoy all the elements coming in. Fog, blue skies, sunrise and set. 💕 So appreciate your care and love of all the animals 🌟My favourite shot was of Ellie standing confidently on the tractor watching on. Till next time - have a great week. 🥰

I sure do miss raising those little calves. They are so fun! I had 4 jerseys, and had to use resorb on all of them, but they all made it, strong and healthy.

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

Love the way your farm and fencing are coming together. Ellie is going to be a mother hen to your new calf. That shot of Ellie cuddling up with the new calf was so precious. It is always nice to see the kids involved with the animals. That love for animals will be carried with them throughout their lives and with fellow humans as well. You are such an awesome family and are an excellent example for everyone in the world to follow.

[@amymorris5832]

Anxious to see who the "bring her home " is... And Ellie snuggling the calf is the cutest! I'm 43 and still do that😂 And lay in the hay with the little lambs and kids, never too old for that!💗

[@barrywhitlock141]

Another great video, LEON looked pleased to go back into the field, You were so lucky that Ellie was there to help you do the measuring of the food supplement and then to help feed the new calf, You wouldn't have managed without her. lol then to see her cuddled up to the calf was so cute.

Beautiful!

[@ChasB2010]

I recall fixing milk for out youngsters in the late 40s. We didn't use individual bottles, but would have 10 galvanized buckets, with nipples, hooked to the side of our barn. We'd get all the milk mixed, poured in the buckets and then get out of the way when we opened the gate to let 10 calves at a time in to eat. Fun memories.

[@Chromicon]

1:20 I often stand up on the tractor, I think it's just safer a lot of times. That's why the stupid seat sensor that shuts it down when you raise up, is the first thing I disable on a new tractor.

[@butwereallsombdyspecial]

You have come so far. It's so beautiful there. The home the lands the animals THE KIDS - What a beautiful existence you've created ✨💫✨🙏💜 What a precious little cow. Ellie does so good. She really enjoys that -

This brought back so many memories of when I was bottling feeding calves, we had about 8 one time that I was bottling feeding. I loved it, they was my babies. I loved the scene when your daughter was curled up with the new calf. That was precious. Thank you for bringing us a long!!!! Love from Ohio.

[@garypickering974]

Great progress on getting the farm infrastructure improved. All this will definitely help in the function and organization of the farm operation. Another great video. So, the clock is ticking on when Leon can find his way to the house. I know you must keep your promise about the playset. Looking forward to seeing the additional stock pens along the tree line and then whatever you have planned for the next structure. Stay safe and well.

It has been over 50 years since I fed a calf milk replacer and it is still a joy to see calves. Thank you and have a wonderful week.

[@chrisflavelle1200]

For making the milk replacement, a canning funnel might work better since it has a larger opening.

[@wirelesmike73]

Ellie and the calf cuddling was borderline cuteness overload. What a sweet little human. I can only imagine that the baby animals really get a lot of benefit from having a little human there with them when they're so young and bonding with their new caretakers. They have to be happier than animals who don't get to grow up alongside kids. Poor Leon legit looked devastated there for a little while. He seemed to be stunned as if he were thinking, "All along, I was helping to build my own prison."

[@robbyers7614]

Hard to believe this video was 19 minutes it felt like I was only watching it a few minutes before it was over. I really enjoy your channel and I hope God continues to bless you guys.

[@pama.6410]

Leon was SO upset!!! You are definitely in the dog house. Those were cold, cold eyes. Glad you had the baby to get the love. He is so presh!!! Love the picture of him coming to Carter and of Ellie curled into him. Amazed at how you work in the rain and truck through the mud like it's nothing. That part does not look enjoyable at all. Way to go!!! Love the cozy scenes at the house. Nice to see there is some down time. All the best with the silo!

Although I grew up on my grandparents farm that had a dairy, I just weaned my own first hand raised calf after my 47th birthday. When the calf looks at me with those big eyes I feel like a dog not giving him any milk. Heartwarming to see the love and care your children have for the animals. You guys are inspirational. Thanks for a great show.

[@doncaranci2547]

With all the off griders I watch I always ask why the solar panels do not have a lil heating element in them for clearing snow, Since Josh is a master electrician maybe he know the answer

[@butwereallsombdyspecial]

I've asked myself that very question now for awhile. - good question & yes this man would know. I bet he'll tell us .

[@chriswalters8110]

It’s a waste of money and power. The dark panel surface will absorb heat and melt the snow. If you need it off faster use a broom.

[@This1LifeWeLive]

You'll definitely appreciate the pens, for ANYTHING you decide to hold. Wood is definitely much higher maintenance than other types of fencing, but certainly cuts down on electric costs ;) I definitely do NOT have the patience, lol, I roll with coated electric wire baby! After 8 years it still looks brand new :D

[@snappingbear]

They don't have any monthly electrical bills given their solar panel system generates up to 13KW. They have electrical fencing, but the wood fencing just looks better imho.

I think the bracket’s should be bolted inside the leg not outside. Check the distance from leg to leg to be sure they are straight, like you did the post on the decks. Dig 4 places the same level and put some blocks or get some12” or 18” square pavers for it to set on so it doesn’t sink and turn over. 9000 lbs is a lot of weight for a little square pieces of metal to set on. Y’all are doing great stay safe and a Bless New Year.
