Going to See A Man About A Cow
Our milk cows are aging and on the decline. It's time for us to look for replacement milk cows so we travel to "Our Father's Farm" in VA to look for them.

😂 at :25. The irony of Justin asking Mr. Brown to help find little Henry's shoes.
Total different subject, I remember when I 1st saw your channel and you had around 1,500 subscribers. I just am blown away to see you at almost 1 million… Great job guys!!👍🏻

I remember that too, Lily was so tiny and Gideon was just a baby!
jonah is a beautiful soul. play with your kids more, build more memories for them and for you❤ He's a great farmer too!
What an amazing family you visited. I want to live in a world where they are the norm!
Don’t misinterpret what the boys said…that their dad made it fun. Their dad probably made them feel proud of themselves for contributing. And that makes the chores more pleasant and inwardly rewarding. You say things to your kids that let them know you value them and are proud of them. They will love the land as you do. Good job Justin!
I have often thought you were more interested in filming your videos than you are in your children. I can only imagine how that makes your children feel. Your oldest son is amazingly smart and pays attention to what is going on. He has great ideas and I feel like over the past year or so he doesn't get the recognition he deserves. I understand your making a living, but, it might be nice if you just focused on your kids for a day here and there. Just a Grandmas' insight of how fast the time goes.
I’ve had an idea about how to bring more fun into the farm life routine. With your network of homestead friends you could have the kids swap around and work on each other’s farms and make it a work party with camp outs games, movies on the lawn, fishing, hiking, etc. just mix it up a little. 😄

What a brilliant idea!
I love how you're listening to Jonah about his needs to have more fun. I love how you listen to others for their input and I also love your input. keep growing! Love you from Rhode island a fan that can't farm
Our Father's Farm family singing was amazing. God bless.
Did y'all see the bicep's on Sheila's arms from making butter & other work for the dairy? these kids are really the proof of the pudding from great parents' life they have created for themselves & their children & animals too. Just totally inspirational!
Just watch the edible gardener when he helped out. He saw the farm in wonderful eyes. No ego. Also played with the kids and Mr Brown was broken hearted when he left.
Hi..... Justin Rhodes and Rebecca and nice to see you all love watching your videos, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck goose farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐩🐕🐈🐑🐄🐇🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
If there was a place like that in my Indiana area I would be in heaven. Get out there & have some fun Justin!! Build a swimming pool, race the kids on tricycles, have sack races. Plan 1 play afternoon every week.
#9 is a great number for a sibling. I was #9 of 12 and my grandpa was #9 of 15. Yeah for #9! 😆
That family is really inspiring, how they all had a job and worked together.
Nice how when Tim is explaining how his parents tried to always make life on the farm fun, there is the family volleyball court in the background.
I love the way you look for new things to learn from every event, every visit with other people, and every experience.
I had a Jersey give me 20 A2A2 calves. The past couple of years, she hasn’t milked much, and stopped giving me calves, but she likes to go through the routine. She’s a pasture pet.

Awe. She has earned it.
Greetings from Metro Detroit Michigan! While there's not much homesteading in our suburban area, my wife and I love watching your videos. She actually started long before me and I sort of leeched on a few months ago...haha. Personally, even though homesteading isn't in our immediate future, I find you to be extremely inspirational. Whether it's your health battles, or seeing your amazing bond with your family, I feel refreshed and inspired after each episode. I've been going through my own issues recently and truly appreciate someone like you being out there spreading hope and encouragement to those of us who will probably never get to meet you in person. Keep up the great work, and THANK YOU!!
Mr. Brown with ur youngest youngin JUST MELT my cold, jaundiced, news media obsessed heart. G_dspeed Justin Rhodes! You Better have a great Mother's Day tribute with the kiddos telling Mom how MUCH she means to them! Boots "Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without" has changed my life for the better!
Man i used to watch your channel when i was a junior in high school. Im 26 now, have my own chickens and plants. You're a huge inspiration to many people and i hope you keep inspiring people with these well made videos.
Quads for farm kids to have fun and work.
Ah!!! This is so exciting!! I need part 2 now, please :). Can't wait to see your new cow, and this was a beautiful look into the lifestyle of another homesteading family. It reminds me of the Great American Farm Tour. Love this content.
This blessed me beyond measure💕 And Jonah bless your sweet little soul you make my heart so happy🥰
Can't wait to here how Jonah made out I'm sure it's going to be a proud moment for sure!
This is awesome! this is where we got our Great Pyrenees almost 5 years ago! Great family awesome farm!
What a sweet video! When is part 2 going up? Need to see the cows you picked and more of your Q&A with the other family. Oh, and how Jonah made out on his own. Delightful kids you have!
I met a few of them on my last Azure drop. Great family and those kids are all great workers!
Visiting this farm is like seeing what heaven might be like. What a great video vacation this is for older people like me, thank you Justin & Dan. i am excited about seeing which cows you are bringing home to the holler for your family. I'm not sure that fancy looking cow has the cow/personality you are looking for but she is a beauty. Dan great editing & music accents, with great content. Just cow farm heaven meeting the kids too!!
What a lovely family and farm you visited. 💞
That was another joy to watch. Thanks for sharing 👍🤗❤
what a beautiful family 👪 to learn from as your grows. I've been your city lady that watches silently. lol. Jonah is right, as they grow they will need more fun as teens to keep them interacting in the farm. Great video! Justin you and Rebecca are doing a great job with your children. 💕
Hardboiled eggs cooked for 3 minutes with a cup of water in the instapot or pressure cooker are so easy to peel. You have to put something like a silicone basket in the bottom so they do not sit on the bottom of the pot.
Great interview Justin I love how your taking it in with what can I do to improve myself and fun on the farm.
What a beautiful family. Love what they are doing
My grandfather was a stone mason.i used to help as a kid..one day I said to him, papa this hard work.he looked at me and said, Anthony no one ever died of hard work...God I miss him..
Beautiful family! How nice that the kids enjoy the life on the farm! Such a blessing! True, we as parents need to remember to have more fun with our kids! 🤗🤗🤗💜
Lol- you are asking Mr. Brown to find someone else’s shoes 🤣😂
I love their farm and that house is a dream house for me.

Hello Lisa
This is a wonderful family you went to visit and I was very impressed with the 19 year olds comment regarding why he wants to stay on the farm and how happy he’s been growing up there😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ this is a great tribute to his parents and siblings both because farm life is hard work but as he pointed out, there was a balance of work and fun and you had time off from work. There were 12 children in my family and it was not due to religious reasons but my parents make sure we played games throughout the week and they participated WITH US, IN THOSE GAMES❣️❣️ We were not sent off to play by ourselves but rather they joined in and this was something we learned to look forward to, whether it was a board game such as chess or Carroms or A multitude of card games for different age of children… Not even knowing that we were learning math or, in the game of Life & Monopoly, actually learning math and finance issues to help you in the adult world. We also played a lot of mind games such as I’m taking a vacation and I need to remember to pack? And then you had to do the entire A through Z memorization game where everyone picks something but then you had to also list everything that has been said before you. We play this when we travel together and this is a very challenging game but we learn to think and be smart always using our brain when we played together… Even in baseball when we played game 500 where each type of always worth a certain amount of points. I really love that game until you got hit in the stomach with a fast-moving bouncy ball. My parents were always very good to hit gently out to us but I had an older brother was not so thoughtful. Anyway, as I was saying about the older son/middle-age son actually, it is a tribute to the parents when a child can see the positive and one to remain on the farm…The nice thing about having a larger family also is that everyone knows what your job is and when you can do it well it makes things easier to be organized. This was a beautiful farm and beautiful towels… I happen to love jersey and brown Swiss Cows…They are excellent for dairy production! And they have beautiful brown eyes you’re very gentle. Another bonus about a large family is more hands to keep the farm organized and clean looking and this was a beautiful farm… Something for the whole family to be proud of. And yes, you always have moments when you get tired of whatever you’re doing because it is hard work but it’s also very very rewarding and that was obvious when you walked into the store and saw the amazing amount of quality food products available for purchase and all of those children and the parents were proud of a job well done.😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ By the way, my mother froze pretty much everything and wax paper or Bread bags that we saved and washed & Re-purposed however was needed. Some of them were cut open on the sides and then we could put it between pie crust layers although there was also wax paper on the pie crust first!!!It works very well❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
What an awesome family and experience. Love this
Dood you are in town! Kim has helped some friends heal from some serious issues. I hope you had a blast and picked a cow that will serve your family for a long time.
Man I respect that Jonah guy. He is a great kid
BEST Video EVER, Justin! Across ALL genres. EVERY aspect. Great Family. Great Extended Family. Great Family Values. Great Inspiration. Great Example. Great Takeaways. Great Motivation. And a SIGN of GREAT thing to come out of you and your squad and your project(s)! Going to be Great watching it all.
Wonderful video- love meeting new people ❤️😃
Justin I would suggest you consider listening to an old Jim Croche song "kats in the cradel" then look at you family and decide if you want your family relations to end where that song engs

To funny! Mr. Brown searching for his baby brothers shoe! 🤣💝
I loved this video!
Wow , steaming fresh eggs, everyday a school day 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Blessings to all!
Wondeful and beautiful vlog.
Check out canning butter too, less energy use. Jonah may be on to something. Missing the plunge times and zipping, even fort building with the kiddos.
Boy they had a lot of surplus 🙏❤️
Must be nice for Lily to have fellow girls to hang out with.
i really love the funky coloured cow hugssss
WOW that 1 coy is so beautiful looking & you said she was for sell. I hope that is 1 of the cows you pick to get. what a great place to live.
I think there’s a shoe monster! Kids never know where there shoes are! LOL
I Enjoyed this video so very much♡♡♡ Our Father's Farm brought back alot of Beautiful Memories for me♡♡♡ I Love how they Pray over their Bountiful Harvest♡♡♡ WOW!!! What An Awesome Loving Family ♡♡♡ Thanks-a-million for sharing with us ♡♡♡ We Love y'all so very much ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS Y'ALL ♡♡♡
I really like where your going with this video👍🏻.
❤❤❤❤ Love love love love this!
This is cool, there farm is just 40 miles from my house...been looking for a farm to buy from. Will have to check them out.
4:54 that's the cow for me
You have to start out with room temperature it would help. You have to measure out enough of water boil the water and then put in your eggs. After they boil for 5 minutes take them out put them in very cold tap water.Tap to top to bottom. Tap tap tap and it will practically kill itself if you get one that's slightly stubborn just put it back into the cold water to do another one let the water loosen the shell for you done a dozen will take you maybe a minute kid you not.

The very BEST way to boil eggs is in an Instantpot, if you have one. Even very fresh home-grown eggs peel well right away, and they are always done perfectly.
Some good old Virginia people!! Just looked them up and they are only a little over 1 hour away from us!!
I.love.this.
Nice to see a good sized family farm selling their produce. Too many homsteaders calling themselves farmers when they only produce enough for their own freezers
So which cows did you pick?! Dying to know!!! Next episode?!
Ouch. Touché it is 🙂
Your asking Mr.Brown to look for his little brother's shoe!? Lol
Nice farm.
OHIOCHARLIE is the fuhrmann family's KZread channel I think. It's just singing videos but if u subscribe and comment asking for them to film some farming videos I think they'll start doing it. Hope they do.
Why aren't they in MY area?! Fantastic!
@00:26 oh man, now Mr. Brown has to help find someone else’s shoes ✊🏾 There’s gotta be a story book in there somewhere...The series continues.
Those cows were beautiful my goodness 😍
So cool…
That speckled cow, that is for sale, is beautiful I hope you buy her. Where is My Father’s Farm? It would be great if it was close enough for me to drive to shop from them.
*Love these large families!* #GodLovesAll
"Kill an hour and a half" .. go find a playground !! ✌️♥️😁
Whole foods is the best place to kill time.... And money 🤑😁.... Love how the kids all work on the farm!!
Guys, I would LOVE it if Rebekah could do a video about acupuncture. I just recently became interested when I found out my sister's chiropractor is partners with an acupuncturist, so now I have one I can trust.
I hope they're ready for an influx of business! :)
I swear our kids can cut so deep sometimes even though they don’t know it hurt. Good luck on the cows.

Phyllis is around 12 years old... Can't remember Flossies age when they got her but she was an experienced cow and they've had her 4 years
I'm confused. You just SOLD a perfectly good young cow and calf. Why didn't you just keep her???

oh I bet you it had to be an n2 I think that's what they call certain cows have some kind of number on their milk. don't hold me to it hopefully Justin will answer your question but that was what he was doing when he first thought out it had to have a certain number on its milk because he cannot digest it right something like that. I Google it and see if there is such a thing as milk grade or some other kind of number to verify what kind of cow milk is

@@mischiefmayhem4740 Getting older is a relative term with cows. A good dairy cow cow, properly managed, can be productive for 15 years. I understand the one, she only has 3 teats, and I believe they had issues with mastitis with the other. That wasn't my question. I was asking why they didn't just keep the one they bred, but the A1 A2 status answered that question

I thought y'all were strength training for better health. Play with your kids. My parents worked all the time and never took time to play with us. They would take us to our ball games, but they didn't bond with play. After, my niece and nephews were born they played with them, and I was taken aback.
Do they have a utube channel

Scolding totally outta love 💖 ... Eating chili or anything else is just as distracting & dangerous as driving & talking on cell phone! Mama you are an example to your soon to be driving on the road kiddos. We need to be careful what our examples tempt them to use as an excuse for making poor decisions. My true intent is not in anyway to be mean. Just a mom of 3 boys & 1 girl too. Sometimes I didn't think until someone who cared pointed out the impact of my example may have a forever negative consequence on my children's choices in the future. Sweetie, just pull over & eat your chili & drive safe! Godbless & love to you & your family. 💖
