Bull Butting, Pig Progress, and Big Decisions

A full day on the farm! Loading out steers, reuniting the cattle herd and bringing the bulls back together, moving turkeys, and checking in with the pigs.

  1. It was so amazing to see and hear, how Billy the pig, talk with you, when you scratched him on his head an neck!😂😂♥♥👍🏻👍🏻

  2. Being one of the gearheads in your audience, I'd like to say that I've unsubscribed from or just skipped over about a dozen farming channels because they're full of brand new green things with cabs that look like computer-driven spaceships designed to insulate the farmers from the ground, the implements, and everything else around them. Or worse, they're pulling haybalers with Kubotas that are like slightly large garden tractors. These tractors have zero personality and character. The soil on these channels is just a sterile medium into which they inject various fertilizers and toxic chemicals like herbicides and insecticides. Also, just because a few "woke" vegetarian dorks from the city complain about what's been going on for thousands of years, don't think that the rest of us (you've got 499K subscribers at the moment), feel that way! Screw 'em. If they don't like what super knowledgeable farmers like you and Hillary do for a living, they can go watch the Mayor of L.A. getting arrested. And anyway, I still can't believe that Dexter bulls are so mellow! 😜

  3. Not new to the Channel just a new subscriber, so hope I’m not covering old ground but is Hilarie from Nebraska ? Your presentation and content are honest and straight forward which is reliably not in any way offensive . Good Stuff !

  4. Thanks for showing these videos, life on the farm is very interesting. I've never spent time on a farm or around cattle and its very educational. I've watched videos from other ranchers and its curious how some bulls behave quite differently from others. I've seen videos where as soon as the two bulls go into the cow field, they ignore each other and instead go around sniffing cows. Other bulls like yours want to fight each other. I guess animals have personalities too. Thanks again!

  5. People critisize because they don't understand or they were raised in the city.
    If you weren't raised on a farm, don't critisize how the farmer gets your Steak or Burgers to your local Supermarket.

  6. I grew up working my uncles hog farm…
    The boars had about a 5 yr life span & they were dispatched with a rifle ..
    Even at at young age , I understood boars & sows had a job & that was to produce..
    Once they were on the older side of producing they were either sold , buthered , or dispatched..
    We sold most of our boars , but the ones used for breeding did so until they didnt .
    Boars have a window of top production just as sows do ..
    After about 5 yrs they aged out & sized out .
    They sometimes got to big & old to breed & those were promply shot & buried ..
    Its simply the facts of farming & we thought nothing about it .
    Today ppl tend to think animals on a farm live a life of misery .
    That nonsense .
    A well fed , well cared for animal produced more .
    And no farmer today can afford to feed an animal through its life span .
    Farms are not zoo's .
    Farms feed even those ppl who think all farm animals are pets .
    I dont get the mentality of a portion in our society ..
    They think their opinions & comments are what everyone should be forced to adopt .
    Thats not the real world .
    And I choose to live in reality , not some fantasy of a world that doesnt exist & never will…

  7. I seen Wild Boar get trapped and they castrate them and release them. They mark them to identify them, so when they are recaptured they know the meat doesn’t have a musky odor to it !

  8. ¡Qué video tan interesante! Me gusta cómo capturan la vida en la granja con todos sus desafíos y decisiones importantes. La mezcla de trabajo mecánico y cuidado de los animales es fascinante, y es genial ver cómo toman decisiones basadas en la experiencia y el bienestar de sus animales. Además, se nota el respeto por la naturaleza y el proceso de la vida en el campo. ¡Sigan así!

  9. Don’t let the ignorant people get you down Pete. I come from farming, it’s a hard enough job without being subject to criticism from those who have no idea. I love your videos and the way you care for your stock. Your animals are happy and cared for with love and care. It shows.
