Family time. love it!
I always look forward to watching your videos and when I grow up I want to have mini jerseys.
Ditto
I love mini jerseys they’re my favorite
Same
I kept two sows for 15 years, fresh sows every year. I was the farm people came to for their feeder pigs
I found having one litter from each of two sows in the spring worked very well for me.
how’d you breed em?
@boss lady
I kept a “rent-a-boar
A duroc cross that I rented out for puck of the litter for each sow bred.
I kept my boars for one year each.
I also offered to nut all males in a litter for my pick of the litter. I ended up with many pigs to choose both my sows and the boar from.
Boras traveled all over New England doing his thing.
I got about a dozen piglets from Boras.
gotta slop the bacon always!!
With all the Children you have it sure is worth having a pig or two around. What goes around comes around.
It may be a waisted bowl of Cereal until you feed the same Child a Pork Chop👏.
I love that your kids are interested in Gardening . At least that’s one thing you don’t have to love doing LMBO xx.
I noticed yesterday as soon as the Heat wave broke that the Fall was in the air.
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Don’t say that😂
I live in the city and miss being close to farms. I grew up on the Fraser River delta so it was lush farms and cows, birds and beaches.
My heart yearns to be around more nature
That basil is starting to bolt. Pinch out the new flower stalk-y bits and you’ll extend your harvest. They’ll try to grow back, keep pinching them out. If you let those flower stalks grow, the leaves will get bitter as the plant puts all of its energy into producing flowers and seeds.
Love the pjs. Even my 18 year old will do his farm chores in his pj bottoms and his work boots.
Wow how precious! I’m so excited for my husband and I to start our little homestead and have our children help and learn. Thank you for opening your home and family up to us online; y’all are a true inspiration.
wow your daughter giving the garden tour sounds so much like your wife haha
I was thinking the exact same thing!
I’ve been watching you for years. This kind of video is by far my favorite. A little bit of day in the life and a little bit of family. Your children shine and a little education. Thank you
Wonderful to see your kids get involved ❤️❤️ this is my dream . Love from Scotland 🏴
thanks for letting us tag along. I enjoyed that.
never mind I found it!
Love to see the kids involved. They are learning so much and don’t know it. Great job.
Awsome video. Thank you for representing the real fathers.
I really enjoyed this walk through the chores. Thank-you for sharing many of the hard realities of farming and life. There are so many that are looking at the homestead lifestyle (I didn’t even know it was a thing), especially this year and they need to know the ins and outs as well as good and bad. You need to make a shirt “Compost is good, but BACON is better”. We are semi-retired and have an acreage, down from a beef ranch and when we were younger along with the cattle we had feeder pigs, sheep, goats (60 does) and chickens. May get back into some of them again. Take care.
My new motto: “compost is good, but bacon is better” 😁
Send me the cold weather, I’m here in Texas and is miserable 😩 😭 my husband like it I hate it, grew up in a hot weather place centroids America and I do not like it.
Great video! I love the way you are with your kiddos, soo sweet! <3 🙂
