Today we’re doing lots of different jobs with the animals, and this is what makes farming interesting! We have to move the laying chickens on pasture, move the Dexter cattle into the heifer yard, move a batch of piglets out to pasture, and bring in round bales from the fields. In between, I’m smoking some delicious pork belly for dinner.
Note:
-We do not offer farm tours or accept visitors
-We do not ship our farm’s products
-We do not sell live animals

To order Pete’s book; “A Year and a Day on Just a Few Acres:” https://www.amazon.com/Year-Day-Just-Few-Acres/dp/149549957X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NM8AQPCG3IT5&dchild=1&keywords=a+year+and+a+day+on+just+a+few+acres&qid=1587327049&sprefix=a+year+and+a+day+on+just%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-1
Loved the video for the second time.
Pete! It's always good to see you! Thank you for what you do.
we let our crosses out of the tractors during the day, they go back on their own at night . it spreads the dung and leaves them a clean coop at night. the biggest reason's is that it's more humane than leaving them penned up 24/7. we also plant forage just for them
A colleague, who had a hobby farm, named his animals after what they were to become. Pigs were named sausage, bacon, pork chop etc. Cows were named tenderloin, sirloin, tbone etc. I thought it was cleaver that he used cake pellets, like a trail of bread crumbs, to get the cows to go where he wanted them to go. The pigs skipped dinner, the night before being transported to the cold locker. Then he laid out food, again like a trail of bread crumbs, to get the pig into the trailer.
Sean is really really bad right but I want you really want you but I want you really to be right now but right I just really really don’t know how to get to know what I mean 😊 but I’m really not good 👠but really right really good 😌 right but now right I just want you right right next door 0:25
Pete ied like to see the turkeys on there rust I think that’s pretty neet
can dogs and other animals jump over the electric fences?
I love your channel a lot i work on a grain farm. I really like the old tractors
9:59 I love how the pigs knocked the camera over
Have you thought of making a box to put ash from your fireplace for the chickens to dust in. Might save them from digging as many pits in their field.
That’s how I smoke meat too on a 22 inch Weber grill put your coal and wood on one side and meat on the other n keep your vent over the meat side. I installed a thermometer too so I can close the vents if it gets hotter then 250 degrees. I love using cherry wood for pork. Cherry pear and apple mix is the best too
Those movable chicken arcs are such a great idea.
Hook em horns
Your explanations are great.
That pork belly🖠looked so mouthwatering good, great video sir glad i found your channel 😊ðŸ‘
Love from India
looks like one of your rear tires on the egg mobile is busted
How often if ever do you deworm your pigs
You should watch "Talking Turkey"a guy finds a clutch of turkey eggs .He hatches them and raises them like a mother turkey in the wild.Turkeys are very smart.
we will miss "Missy" 😄 really enjoy your videos of true farm life-thank you.

Pete – love your channel, been dreaming of owning a farm myself. I'll start with reading your book.
I just watched your 10 month old video of how to change your life. I’m not sure I heard you say it was worth it. You and your wife look so happy. To me it seems like a genuine happiness.
I have 2 small vegetable gardens and small farm of meat chickens. I use agriculture lime when putting my garden to bed for the winter, it helps balance my soils pH and nitrogen. Have you tried dusting the ground with lime after moving the broiler boxes or is it feasible for you ?
We are looking to buy meat pigs . What breed would you recommend?
💠Looks like allot of work but very satisfyingðŸ’
Growing up I always dreaded haying.
We square bailed all our hay & there were no conveyors or mechanized systems.
It was always my dad on the tractor & my brother & myself handleing the hay.
Im allergic to grass , so it was especially tough on me.
We loaded the wagon & hauled it to the barn where we had stacked it in the loft..
It was easily 110-115 degrees up near the roof & my brother & I traded off that position every few minutes.
The one thing I always liked was the smell of fresh mown hay .
And, come winter seeing all that hard work feed our herd.
Every time I watch your videos I cannot stop watching I enjoyed them so much keep up the good work
Just found you today. Couldn't quit watching.
I love your videos! You are so charming and genuine and very informative. New subscriber and I put you on my favourites for family and friends! Look very forward to more!
Hi I enjoy your videos. Q – How do you buy fuel for you tractors? Do you go to a fuel station and buy it?
I am not a farmer but I really enjoy watching your videos. Chasing those piglets are so funny to me and how stubborn those pigs are is hilarious😂
Oh god that vid made me hungry. What a life, something anyone should desire. Why is that in our culture we kind of look down upon farmers, but not really, you know… weird
Such a hard working couple nothing but admiration for both of you. I wonder if you ancestors were farmers too.
Pete's probably making the best dinner in three counties and he's doing it on a Weber grill you can buy for $8 at a garage sale.
I'm An Alumnus Of Central Missouri GO MULES you do such a great job with your Vlog
Of all the college-themed shirts I’ve seen so far, this is by far the best looking 🤘ðŸ»
