Improvements that will make our Farm Chores Easier. Preparing everything so we can take a vacation.
We are building a feed trough for the feeder steers, and installing a new water trough that will automatically fill with water. Plus, several other small changes to make everything easier for our neighbors to do our chores while we are on vacation.

You are getting so close to the 100,000 mark. I'm glad your channel is successful.
Congrats on 17 years!
Happy anniversary!! How exciting for you guys to be able to get away. I hope you had a good time and that your neighbors were ok with everything 😁 I look forward to seeing some highlights from your trip ❤️
happy anniversary. My wife and I celebrated our 40th in Branson. Enjoy your videos. Live in peace and joy.
Photobomb by Oreo, so cute. Happy anniversary!
Hope you two had a great 17th anniversary Evan and Rebekah and may there be many-many more for you together. You did a fantastic job on the waterer, and I think you left a smooth operation behind so the neighbors could handle things better. Thanks for the video. 👍
Nice idea Evan...But no where near strong enough...Those steers will knock that feed bin to pieces... I am looking forward to the day you retire...Full time farming is a blast......
Happy anniversary! We are 62 and did the nuts thing by kicking of a Urban Farm today and was talking about hoe to make it low maintenance for when we need someone to take care of the crops, chickens, dog and cat. Cool ideas. Hope you had a fabulous time. 😇🤗👍
Happy Anniversary to the both of you. A well needed vacation for all the hard work and projects you have completed. Have lots of fun, relaxation and enjoyment together. You was thoughtful in making the chores more manageable for the neighbors who will be taking care of the animals while you all are on vacation. Have a wonderful 4th of July. Be careful and safe on your vacation. Bye for now.
At .46 seconds you can see an Eagle on the middle steers chest ! 🥰
CONGRATULATIONS on 17 years and may you have many more 👍👍
We use float valve watering units for our hogs 54 years ago. Only took them off to clean cause hogs will wash their snouts on the troughs.
Watching a little CVA 👍
Happy anniversary you guys have fun injoly each other love you guys from steve c from state Oregon see you on the next one
Little Giant float valves that go at the top of the trough are better. No hole to drill and leak. The float is protected inside the housing so it can't be damaged. I've seen birds sit on the kind you have to eat bugs out of the trough or get a drink and they break the float, causing water to run constantly. Also seen cattle break the float off.
I hope you guys had a good trip, and had a bit of rest and relaxation.
:) nice farm is looking good. Happy next 17 years.
Hope y'all had a great time, happy anniversary.
🎼 Happy 17 Anniversary 🤩🎉💖........
You do a great job showing what you are doing. You always go that extra mile.
Hope you had a great vacation trip. Thank you for sharing this easy access effort.
Glad you are taking a break as our body wears out when we over work it. You and Rebecca have realy work hard to make the farm beautiful. Your cows are so pretty.
Congratulations on 17 years, hope you had a great getaway! I always enjoy watching your videos, thank you. 🥰
I would like to see the back side of your barn where you began to work on last year.🧡🧡🧡🧡
If you get some strong winds you may want to anchor that trough to the ground as wind or even the steers can raise that up and break it away from your posts.
Congratulations 💐👏. Enjoy your little break!
Never mind I should of watched more lol great work
17 years! Congratulations!!! 😃 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Hello very nice Evan Rebecca. We have been married 43 years have never took a vacation anywhere lol. Have stayed at home had a dinner. Hope your trip was great. Grest video have a good one.
Everything looks wonderful! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. REBECCA AND .EVAN! HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!
My wife and my anniversary was the 4th. 42 yrs. She picked that day so I wouldn't forget it. So, I lost my Independence on Independence Day. Hope y'all had a good time.
Congratulations on your anniversary !! I just wanted to mention that I use a 55gal plastic tank with watering CUPS for all my poultry. This will last for a week's vacation and longer. NO messy water bowls to deal with, either.
You will love Branson and Table Rock Lake.
Congratulations 17 years is a good start. Take care of each other.
Congrats on your anniversary
Congratulations you two, 24 years here.
Happy 17th! We celebrated our 40th a few weeks back. Time flies!
Enjoy your short break. Imagine Rebecca will still worry about the animals being safe.
Happy Aniversary, enjoy your holiday, greetings from Rotterdam, Holland.
Happy 17th anniversary, hope you enjoy your vacation 🥃👍🏻
Hope you guys had a great trip. All the improvements on the farm look good.
Table rock isn't far from my house. Hopefully everything went well
Happy anniversary. I hope you have a good time on your trip. I love your videos.
The farm is looking great. Unsolicited advice: You will need to run either electric or Barb wire on top of that woven wire fence. The cows will eventually push down on the top and go for a run ( learned that the hard way when I came out to barn and all the cows were at the neighbors farm).
Happy Anniversary!!! Enjoy and be safe.
Happy Anniversary !!!!!!!, I use to live in Springfield, Mo and have been to Branson many times so I think your going to have lots of fun
Happy belated anniversary, I hope you had a great time, love and blessings from Scotland :) :)
Happy Anniversary! Nice that your getting away. Y'all will have a good time!
congratulation on 17 years.. this year was our 50th anniversary! time flies ..........
Happy anniversary. I just live a couple hrs from Branson, hope you enjoyed the lake and scenery ❤️ but definitely a very hot summer in MO.
Congratulations on 17
I know it’s been a while, but I hope you had a fun time on your vacation.God bless you.
Happy belated anniversary and best wishes for many many more. I do hope you had a good time on your much deserved vacation. I love the way you et up your feed and watering needs. Not only for your neighbors but to help y'all with daily chores from now on. Thanks for sharing your many ideas with us. Have a Blessed day.
Kids and animals will be kids and animals. Just not happy if their not messing with each other. Happy anniversary. Safe travels.
OMG!!! I’m sitting here watching this video and you start talking about Picture Rocks national park. I grew up on the east end of Picture Rocks, it was my back yard when I was a kid. Everyone who lives in upper Peninsula are called “YOOPERS”. Everyone living in lower Michigan(below the Mackinaw Bridge)are called trolls. I’m a transplanted Yooper living in Wisconsin, my heart will always be in upper Michigan. Thought I would share a little Michigan history. Love your videos!!! Happy anniversary!!!
Great video Evan.. I think you're best served to have put a concrete block underneath the 2x4 support that contacts the ground... Just sayin
Congrats you all
Happy Anniversay and safe trip!
Happy anniversary. Look at the whiteface stearine watching talking about your chores. It’s as if he also wants to be in your blog. Clip the turkey’s wings
Congratulations 👏🎉
You are two great people love to watch I know it’s hard work have a good time I know you are back at it now!!
Enjoy your vacation. You have earned it.
Your Peregrine Falkland is absolutely beautiful I think she should be called Aurora
On a hose fitting, the threads do not create a seal. The rubber washer in the female fitting is what creates the seal. If it leaks, replace the rubber washer. You can get a dozen washers for a couple dollars.
Happy Anniversary. Our family vacation was the Upper Peninsula last year. Pictured Rock is beautiful but it is quite a haul to get up there. Our Table Rock here in MO will be a great vacation also. Hope you had a great time.
Table Rock Lake is just beautiful!!! Happy anniversary!! 💕🥳🥳
Happy anniversary, my wife and I celebrated our 42nd last month in Edmonton, Ab, enjoy yourselves🙂👍
Congrats!
Put a small piece of wood in the water trough so you can see it by walking by will help you to keep it full too. The wood comes in handy to pull it out and lay it across anyone's butt you have caught falling asleep you can heat up your branding iron and brand the piece of wood and wake them up!
Nice job on the feed trough!!! Being that you only have two legs supporting it you may want to consider drilling a hole in the bottom center of each leg about 6 inches deep and putting in a 12 to 16" #4 rebar which will stick into the ground so if the cows bump the feed trough or put any weight on it, it won't shift and collapse.
Congratulations for 17yr. keep going and you are a enjoyable program and we consider you part of our family be careful traveling and bless you guys always 🙏🙏🙏Amen!!!
Happy Anniversary to you both 💗. Have a very wonderful time.
You’ll love Branson and Table Rock Lake! Grew up going there every summer! Enjoy!!!
Congratulations on your anniversary. Enjoy your time away. You deserve a break.

That's awesome! My wife and I just got married on June 18th and went on a honeymoon to Branson, MO.
You both need some time off! Those are beautiful cows ! I do like that barn. Stay safe and enjoy. That's a good feeder.

Happy anniversary to y’all
