Almost Finished! Restoring and Repairing
We have been experiencing some warm weather for this time of the year, so why not pour some concrete!?
Plus, the guys are starting to wrap up their trailer restoration project.
Also, the baby calves are so cute!!
Thanks for watching!

Busy busy busy. Everybody is so content working together. ❤🇨🇦
Stainless steel would probably cost as much as a new waterer. Trailer and concrete look good. Good job guys.
HappyHolidays to every one on the farm
You and your family are a joy to watch sure like the high lights in your hair
Looks like another busy day in the shop
Just another busy day on the farm 👍lots of awesome projects 👏🏼 Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽😎🌴
Please show more video on your son working on his dodge 2500 pickup..I'm very much interested in seeing him getting it running...
Great job Everybody, never a dull moment on Ye're Farm👌👍🙏🙂
The trailer is going to be looking really good when you finish painting it, I can hardly wait to see the finished product. I cannot believe how you can take a worn-out piece and make it look so much better. Nice job.
Thanks for the trailer update. I needed that information I need to do something like that to my trailer
Another great video guys doing your own services and repairs saves money of course we do all our own maintenance and repairs like you guys not much we don't take on. Like you we box up and do our own cementing hard work sometimes but the end result is good and the calves are beautiful takes me back to our dairy farming days it was a great life on the farm very satisfying.
Never a dull moment on a farm is there 😊
Oh the little mo moo´s are so cute as always :) And they boys are doing repairs and fixing up everything, wish I had their skillset 🙂
Hello guys good vlog Ronda thanks for sharing I think it's great how yous can flip things
About 10 years ago I come onto a product that was very useful. It's a primer in a rattle can and I call it weld through primer. You can prime the back of the pieces of metal that you're welding, it helps preserve.
My wife and I had a Dairy for 17 years worked together With our two boys. I rebuilt a trailer just like you're doing it worked out very well. It was in damascus arkansas
Great to see everyone. Say hello to Everyone and Mackenzie and Seth love you all ❤❤❤❤
The thing y’all do on the farm is amazing
Great projects team
Love these shop videos. The trailer kinda reminds me of Theseus' ship tho :)
Good projects.
Great stuff ! Thank you all !! God bless and Merry Christmas!!!! Eddy

Gosh, Ronda, I didn't remember what coat you had on and thought you were screeding on the other end from Kevin! I was just shocked at you doing that instead of one of the boys, but you do plenty as it is. So, was there fiberglass instead of mesh in the crete?Oh, and nice job on the trailer rebuild, Kevin and guys. I've done a couple, too, and yes, buying fenders gives a far better finished look.
Always something to do on a farm, animals will see to that. Did you and Kevin find a solution to the grape trellis? I would think bending and tacking some long rebar might support the weight during the growing months. May your family have a peace filled and blessed Christmas.

I'm going to be redo the whole grape trellis this winter.
A sandblaster would be useful.
Put a piece of cat walk grate couple inches below the water line and they couldn't put their feet in it.
Have you considered doing a fiberglass repair on the waterer

Hello Rhonda, I have a question. I have a 1980s Wheel Horse Work Horse Garden tractor that was given to me by my late father-in-law. It has always been very difficult to get started unless I used starting fluid. I used it for a few years until it would stop running when I was mowing the ditches. It runs okay on flat land. Would Sanders be willing to work on it when he has spare time. I've watched all your videos, and I know living on a farm, there's not a lot of spare time. You should remember me. I have messaged you in the past, and we've seen each other at the live stock auction house. If you don't remember me, let me know here, and I'll send you a message.

Why are the new, newly born calfs being taken away from their mothers? 😟
@MorganOtt-ne1qj
7 ай бұрын
That's how it is on a Dairy. The calves will be fed thier mother's colostrum and milk for a few days, and then her milk will be put in the cooling tank with the rest of the milk. The calves will continue to be fed milk for a few weeks and then transition to grain and hay diet. Bull calves are sold to be raised for beef or veal.

@@acresofclayhomestead Farming isn't for the faint of heart. People feed cattle, and cattle feed people. Keeping them alive for harvest is what we do. Providing the best of feeds and proper medical attention is how we do it. Vaccination programs, balanced nutrition, and the utmost kind handling with good facilities and a mindset geared towards humane treatment is the standard.

Nice work! What are you guys doing for lights for the trailer? LEDs? Also it was nice to see you guys pour that concrete, I just made a paving stone in my horticulture red seal certificate course I’m taking. That was nice screeding they did, it took me a second to get a good technique doing it. Thanks Ronda for another awesome video.
