I had someone actually say, "Why do you kill animals? You should just get meat from the store and leave the animals alone" To much separation from reality is a really bad thing!

He's not playing God. He is a man that is doing what he loves,and feeding his family as well as others...Happy father's day! Pete...

Don’t ever apologize for sending animals to the butcher. It’s your livelihood.

Peter, what a strange thing to accuse you of...playing God. I am not a farmer but appreciate that there are farmers like yourself who do well by their animals. That's all the good Lord would expect of you. Be well.

If people choose to live in denial about where food comes from, that's their problem.

Last year we started buying small stocker calves to raise. From the first day we explained to our then 3 year old is they will become hamburger to feed us and others. But our job is to give them a great life while they are here. Raise our food with integrity and ethics.

you don't need a new trailer - MAYBE some paint and it will look new

You know exactly what your animals have eaten and what they have NOT been injected with!! Wish I was closer to purchase your product!

I life in a city, I don’t butcher my food chicken pork or beef. I have been to a butcher and watched and on a farm and watched it strengthens my belief that I want good farmers and good farms to supply my food. I like to see my food is well cared for. We are very lucky to have a “farm to butcher to me “ shop near our home. Have met the farmers that raise beef for this butcher and they have a day we can go to their farm if your up to it. It really makes a difference knowing where your food is raised

Grew up cattle farming. Loved as a kid. I would make them pets. The one we'd keep always got a name like supper, freezer or dinner. It was was the way of life. Going back to that this year again.

Yup, that's exactly how small farmers and ranchers look at the evolution of their livestock---well spoken and non-apologetic; I like that! Thanks for another great video and for taking me down memory lane again.

Thank you for this excellent video. As my husband and I are just starting out with cattle, your videos are so valuable.

Hope you had a fine Father's Day Pete - Told one of our locals who had been whining about sound of machinery during planting that the farmers were really WOKE they woke up at 4 A.M and worked to after dark P. M. to keep her and the rest of the county fed - really enjoy your videos!!!!!!!

My wife and I love your channel. You've been blessed with a great setup that came through your family, and you're keeping up the old ways and the old farm.

Logical explanation of the process of raising beef cattle for sale at the local farmers market.

We just bought a rusty trailer like that as we prepare to get our first cow/steer. We needed one anyway for the sheep and goats and pig we have, so this is an upgrade for us from heaving them into a cage in the truck bed! We used the metal roofing coating/paint to cover ours. Here in AL, the shiny aluminum look reflects the heat away and keeps the animals cooler. Our barn cats now use it as a daytime napping area. It took an afternoon and not much $ since we had the roof coating from patching the barn up. We love your videos and are thankful for all you share. We've learned so much. Hubby is binge watching all the hay videos as this season is this first time ever cutting and putting up hay. :-)

Happy father's day to you Pete. Have a great day with your son.

Domesticated livestock wouldn't exist if it weren't for people eating them. You do it right, thanks for sharing.

Happy Father’s Day to you. Raising cattle for food is part of the life cycle.

Growing up we raised or hunted all of the meat we ate. It's just part of life.
