If ever there was a man that needed his own sawmill, it is Al.
Yes! Please put out the plans for one of the chicken tractors! I will only need one to start with. Thank you and have to say Brutus is getting so big and he is amazing! Blessings, Texas Deb ❤️
Everything is looking so nice ! Brutus is such a good Boy ! I LOVE YOU ALL !!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Loved that egg counting clip. If you ever do an anniversary video commemorating the day you posted your first video, today's grown up Olivia collecting eggs would be a highlight.

You guys are the only ones I know whose chicken tractors come stamped for approval by Brutus😊
Gotta LOVE that Brutus always clowning around LOLOL. Great JOB AL on instructions for chicken factories. God Bless you ALL.
Gooood morning Lumnah's! What a great day for our Lumnah fix. The pig shelters are fantastic, the chicken tractors ( while expensive compared ) are a sign of the season ❤. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if you'd think the same way if you had to do it all, every day, come rain, snow, hail, etc, and that's before the sun comes up ! They never stop and the more they build the more they have to look after. All the animals need feeding, or letting out, or combing, or moving around. Eggs need collecting. The roads need maintaining, the lake needs looking after. Theres a tent somewhere that needs sleeping in occasionally, and a shipping container with a garage space at one end and a furnished room at the other end that I haven't seen for a long time, and they still have their house to build, and although they choose to leave all their vehicles out in the open, they really do need to be under cover. and the under cover growing area that they had at their previous place needs replicating or they will be constantly trying to keep the local wild animals from eating what they are growing. What was that word you used ? Tranquil, bliss! Be careful what you wish for. I really do watching it all, but I'll settle for being a Townie.
Good morning Lumnah family and friends. How time has changed the cost of the "old" chicken tractors. The NEW and improved tractors have added features that will add to the cost, ( metal hinges instead of piece of old milk jug, hardware cloth instead of chicken wire, ( TSC 1" X 24" X 150' for under $70 ). Great deal on the two shelters, pigs or whatever will love them. Good day to all, see you next time .
I remember when I first started following you, you were using milk jug plastic for chicken tractor hinges. Things have improved over the years.
Good morning Lumnah family. Yes you have to be quick on market place or you lose out. Those huts should work nice. Chicken tractors are nice when you have the grass area to move them around. Enjoyed the video, thank you

Awesome stuff always. Can't wait to see the feeder pigs and meat birds on the pasture.

I love Springtime on the farm and getting ready for food production. It's fun watching Brutus grow so fast. 🥰❣️
Four wheeler good addition. Maybe we’ll get to meet your brother soon.
Love the glue report. Too funny. Nice work you two. Brutus is huge. Really nice dog.
I live down under in Australia on the east coast in a small fishing town called Mollymook - love what you guys are doing/have done and watch every new video nightly. One big question I have for both of you - when do you get time for yourselves and Olivia? You live such full & hectic lives. Fantastic and you bring so much joy to all of your followers. 🙏💚💚thanks, stay healthy and be kind to yourself as you are inspiring.
Was thinking about the egg counting you and Olivia used to do; what a fun way to learn to count. That's a lot of eggs! Love you both living your best life. You both look so happy and healthy.
Brutus is making sure everything is looking good.Brutus is so cute 😍
It is starting to look and feel like a farm!
You’re the best at putting film to gether and telling the story as well. Excellent videos
Seems like Brutus spends most of his day around you and Gina when you're outside. How much time does he actually spend around the Cows and Cattle. When he's older do you think at night he will spend most of his time in the Barn? Will he ever be a true Guardian Dog?

This is one of the best ones you've done in a long time. I love when you get your stuff second hand or is cheap as possible and let us know how much it cost.

To reconstitute freeze dried milk is a 1-1 ratio (half a cup of dried milk to half a cup of water)
Great to see the farm growing. If you get to much bigger you're going to have to hire a ranchhand. You should put the covers on the electrical switches and outlets so you, Gina, or Olivia don't accidently stick a finger on a energized terminal.

I built 5 of these about 2 years ago using your instructions from your website. We added a 12 inch chicken wire skirt around the bottom to keep the digginging predators at bay. I love them. Except for one thing. The roof sags and the top hinge is flimsy. I wholeheartedly support your addition of a 2x4. It will give the roof and the top hinge much needed support! Even a 2x2 works! Keep up the good work!

Regarding the freeze dried milk.... looks like milk usually averages about 87% water and 13% solids. So if you have 10grams of freeze dried milk powder, you'd want to use 80-90 grams of water to reconstitute it. At that point should be able to figure out a liquid measurement that will work with the dry powder measurement to get it consistently the same and similar to what it started out as.
Looks like you already have your own Easter eggs
"Just a Few Acres" made a dolly system to move them around the pasture on. Like a hand truck for the rear and a rope on the front to pull. Works very well!
Can't wait to see your set of pigs that you are getting soon. Also the new set chickens that you are getting too. Love your Brutus. His so beautiful indeed. Keep up the great work.

I don't know the name of the company, but they sell used billboard vinyl. It lasts 10x longer than tarps. If I come across their website I will DM you.
