Last episode dusty was destined for the stew pot... you mean to tell me it was just coincidence that his feet got tied up😂

Nice work you two!
Next time you have a burn pile with metal in it ,dig a hole first then all the metal will already be in a hole not spread all over the ground. I like your channel, keep up the good work. George Phoenix AZ

Oxygen would not be available in the pit, to burn brush, etc. effectively. This is not an new concept, but a proven one over time.
I get so excited when I see a new posting from Country View Acres. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. God Bless!
Looking forward to seeing the little spring lambs jumping about.

Suggestion. Contact your local FFA instructor for a AI source, should be a lot of AI people. I had my daughter's sows AI from our local FFA group.

We enjoy your videos. Was good to see the vacations went well with the animals. Thank you for sharing your life on the farm with us. Have a great rest of your week.
Hey Evan. Beautiful livestock. And I am NOT giving up beef! ❤🇺🇸🍀
Great job
Nice video. Good luck. Want to see the new lambs !!!
Dusty is one handsome boy!!!
Good vlog guys Mia is like a Big puppy
Lol, I like the way Mo and Elly stood there for each other. 😁
The next eclipse seems to be crossing near yall.Hope to see it on your video! Good work!
If youre not aware, a wire hook can be used to catch a chickens leg. They are commercially available but they’re easily made with a stiff piece of wire.
Just watched FTR live! 😁 Hope you’re able to find a bull. Maya sure is beautiful 🤎
Good job getting them all their shots, good equipment makes for an easier task. I have a Tarter sweep pen with head gate, makes our job easier and safer. Burying that ash was what I would have done too, which I did under similar circumstances. Take care of your cold, I've had mine for a few weeks. Enjoyed watching, I hope you have a good Friday and weekend too.
Hello! Really enjoy watching your videos. Love seeing homesteaders! I remember my grandfather taking his sheep and flipping them over right on their backs for shearing. They cooperated very well. Gramps and my dad held the sheep for shots. And when the pigs were castrated, dad held, gramps cast em and done quickly. I remember watching this as a child. I sure miss hanging around my grandparents farm. They had a lot of chickens, sheep, pigs, and cows. Great memories! See you on the next video!
Love your content and what you have with your orchard and your garden bud I am jealous. Keep up the good work.
Hello Evan Rebecca enjoyed your video. Nice work have a great day.
😀 Well watching youtube channel..thanks for your efforts.!!
Yall are Plumb doing good! 😊
Neat stuff, I actually work at your local ag supplier and that’s how I found you guys. Keep up the good work
My next door neighbor in suburban Dallas Tx. has very small peaches on his trees. We have had a lot of warm weather in the past two weeks and are quickly approaching our normal last frost. I hate cold weather and am very glad it is gone, hopefully as anything can happen. Growing up in Oklahoma, we had a famous person, Will Rodgers, who said if you don't like the weather in Oklahoma, wait a minute. That also applies to north Texas as well.
Thanks for another great video, Evan. Rebekah and you did a great job with the animals, and it looks like the Squeeze Chute will work great. We had a head gate years ago, but it didn’t work as slick as the Squeeze Chute worked. I understood what you were doing in the video, where you were spreading potash, and why you were not using the burned material. I thought you had said something about that, but I would have thought that would have been understood. Well, I had better run and do something today, and until next time, may God bless your days the way He always blesses ours! Donald
First time seeing a new squeeze-chute. Ours was well-worn.
I live in Newton and run a few cows and we’ve been watching your channel for a long while now and me and my family really enjoy your channel. Something that I think may help you out is if you put a long sucker rod from your squeeze Shute to your corral gates to pin them together. Again really enjoy your channel. Sincerely Eric Elmore
Hey Evvan, use a winch attached to the tractor to drag woods from among the trees
Love that Mia and those big brown eyes. Always enjoy your videos 😊
You guys should really consider building a small bud box in your barn there. You’d be amazed at how well cattle flow through one, and the way you guys patiently handle your animals would make it work that much better. I think you’ve got room to make that work, even if you have to put the box outside and lead into the alleyway inside.
Lesson learned the hard way. When pulling the strings on feed bags, only pull enough to open the bag. That way you have access to the feed/ fertilizer or whatever and the string, paper tag are attached and easy to keep everything together until disposal
you got real lucky! although two is easier when you are calm and be gentle. dealing with 150 head is a whole other story!
Talk to a local dairy and see if they would breed her. When we had show heifers, we would take them to a dairy for a month to get them bred.
Really appreciate your videos and hope you keep them coming. You may want to look into a hydraulic trimming stand for your sheep. They work great and once they get used to it they will be easy to work on the animals.
From what I seen those shots were a piece of cake! it/they went very well. it could have gone a lot worse. so happy it didn't and smart idea on the ash. makes a lot of sense to me. good call . Thanks for sharing. ECF
Pruning at this time is a little bit late , on less prune very few or very little in size . You might have to pick a few of the blooming flowers off so that they don't break branches as the fruit comes on and gets bigger . Once the saps are up in the trees , pruning is hard on the trees , as well as fruit production later on in the year .
I put my chute in an alleyway that leads to pasture they walk through it once a day
Get well soon. The ash thing makes complete sense. I thought you made it pretty clear on the original video. You would have had to go thru that heap one shovel at a time to weed out the metal with the magnet. LOL You did the right thing because of the source of the ash. Great video. The animal chute plan is awesome. Are you going to weld the chute so that it'll allow for that top connector on the red gates? Take care
We finally got to see how you use that contraption. Thanks for sharing that with us. I can't imagine how things got done back in the day... though they must have built some sort of system for restraint, right? How else does a cow doctor treat a cow? That was pretty cool.

You really don't need that six-thousand-dollar contraption. Only internet farmers buy them for their tiny cows and their tiny herds. I could tell you that you don't need that, and it's not rocket science.

Cattle can also ingest the metal when grazing. You can give cattle magnet cow pills to help collect the metal ingested. As a kid I would play with these strong magnets.
Great job Rebecca and Evan. If you have a Veterinary program in your area maybe check to see if they have students that could come to do the AI for experience. Best of luck with your lambing. 🐑
That was interesting to watch you use the chute to vaccinate the cows and sheep.
Nice
maybe a long rod that will fit the holes on the chute that goes from the top and thru the gate and out the bottom holes will work and easy and fast to throw it on next time

I am surprised it did not come with one. Some do.
You might want to take a look at The Hoof GP to see about setting up a loading chute. You will have to look for one of the older videos as he tends to be at farms with fixed chutes these days.
Hey Evvan, you need to curve the front up like your boat, so it will not dig in the grass when you pull it.
Maya the best entertainment there is.
You're lucky Evan the sheep farmers over here in Britain are lambing now and have been for some time. Some have probably been lambing since before the new year at that. They've most likely have gotten their lambs they're going to have for the year. Some have had their sheep up on the fells which are the high hills down the spine of Britain called the Pennines and they can be over 2000 feet high. A nice holiday for you and Rebekah. But as farmers you wouldn't be able to come over because you would need to have someone to look after your stock.
Banded, vaccinated and de-wormed the little bulls on my friends farm this week. Took advantage of the nice weather we had.
Don’t put off the pruning of your fruit trees any longer. make it a priority. there are plenty of KZread videos on how to prune various varieties of fruit trees. now is the time to get that taken care of. 😊
An alternative to injections would possibly be a pour on drench on the spine just before the tail.Excellent crush,but those pens will have to be tall and stout if you're going to run beef cattle.Otherwise they can jump out of the pens(Been there,got the tshirt).
You should take the horns off Ellie before it gets too warm with the flies if you plan on taking them off any Ash is still doing you good that you buried would be interesting to see how he will grow on that spot if it ends up being taller greener will be interesting to see

Boy that brought back some memories. Except w 40-50 head at a time in a pen whom needed convincing 😉. “Vet” days. Shots, pills, ear tags and some steer “making”.
