I have to apologize to you. I had a preconceived opinion that anybody who drives a sweet animal to a butcher is cold hearted. Yet after watching your videos, you and your family have the utmost respect and kindness for your animals. I tip my hat for what you do and wish you and your family nothing but the best 👍

Love the vidieos !!! Hope to see you at farmers market this year!!!

Your a lucky man to have your wife as your work partner. You guys seem to work well together amd enjoy each other!

Family is everything! I especially loved it when you are tyring up the fencing & Hilarie pops her finger on to tie the knot. That's Love right there!

Ending your last few videos while eating with your wife and kids is a nice touch. Thank you for giving us an insight into the details of butchering your cattle.

small farms like your one are the real soul of usa. Be proud of yor job!!! I like your videos. Greetings from Italy

Just got recommended your channel and I say thank you KZread Algorithms. I now have a new favorite channel. Much love from Upstate New York

I love it. Everyone around the table and all of you working together. Great Providers and hard workers ❤

I've been enjoying all of your videos. You're truly blessed with such a beautiful family, may God bless them all and thank you for the videos. 😃

I like how he just like yep it’s farming and raising animals don’t like it don’t watch.

Another great video! Thanks. Just one comment..... that trailer..... I have two suggestions. A. Buy a couple of gallons of Rustoleum paint, some paint brushes and rollers and have your kids paint it over the winter or B. Go down to the local High School and see the Art Teacher. Propose a contest for the art students to come up with a mural to paint on the trailer along with a "Just a Few Acres Farm" logo. Pick the best one then have students paint the trailer. Buy them a couple of Pizzas and let them have at it!!

My daughter and I were just talking about that. She is a good painter and I'm hoping she gets the time to do it. That trailer looks like WW2 surplus right now.

Love the way you handle your stock.

City slicker my entire life, but I cant get enough of these videos. I now buy Dexter meat from a small family farm similar to yours outside of the city. I buy a lot of ground beef each time, usually 25 lbs., and get a discount. It costs more than supermarket, but it definitely tastes better because it is grass fed only.

Recent subscriber and love how you break down and explain everything. The why, how’s and how-not’s! Always looking forward to your next video. But watching your previous ones in the meantime.

I love what you put on KZread you have every sweet family Intuit help me to learn us so much about animals and farm life thank you

Always good to see the kids involved. Keep up the good work!

I thought you might give the name and reason why she was a call cow. I know Sammy's day will come but I'm glad he gets a chance to see more sunrises.

You are now my favorite,love as your family is involved

Lovely family 👨‍👩‍👦. Wish you the best from Morocco 🇲🇦 🇺🇸

2:16 the COW: I'll see you on the other side!

That’s a lot of manure. Watching your past and learning lots.

Pete, great family.

I hope your children know how cute (likable, personable, friendly) you are.

I ENJOYED THE FAMILY TOGETHER IN THIS VIDEO... SWEET KIDS...

i love this mans bubbly infectious outgoing positive personality anyone else

You guys work so hard but you seem to be savoring the farm life. I envy you! I appreciate your videos and I always look forward to your next one!

Its a good feeling knowing where your food comes from. Being home grown and farm raised, in my book is way better. That quick attach was a nice fix, you done good. My John Deere has quick attach but i like the Skid Steer style much better.

Definition of hard work. It never stops. All the best!

Beautyful family

Nice video. I really like your chicken house. And like always I enjoy seeing your tractors.

Another great video! I just found your channel this weekend & I’ve been binge watching on all of your great content. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Pete! Always great to see life on a working farm. You might not want to caption a video with "she's going to the butcher" and have a pic of your daughter at the same time. Lol

thank you Pete

I twist the tail of cattle to get them moving if they are stubborn, as long as I have their heads in the right direction. It has been 20 years, but I never had problems with loading pigs. I just walk everyday with the bucket of their food and walk different paths to leave their food in different spots at different heights but where they easily get to it. If you leave their food on the same spot, they expect it there everyday and will not go through non familiar spaces. When I load them in the trailer, I walk the bucket of some food into front of the trailer and they get on, while I exit by the small front door and then close the back door behind them.

Just love your having the whole family involved in the farm activities.

Nails are the best cotter pins they make

looks like u guys have a good and happy life style...good for u....

Your family is so fun to watch. Ever think about allowing one or two people to come work on your farm for free? I'm thinking like a week visit and they might even have to pay you for the experience. Having these farm helpers would give you more content for your channel too. I'm out here in Oregon, grew up on a cane berry farm spending hours on both the International Model B along with Massey Fergusons and Ford tractors. I love watching your channel because I've lived this life and do miss it now that I'm retired and living in the city. Any-who just an idea that people would love spending time on your farm and if they came with skills to that would be huge plus!

Just bumped into this video and thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially when everyone is at dinner. 🇺🇸❤️

Great stuff Pete👍👍👍👍

I just finally decided to watch a video of yours last night and I really enjoy the channel in general!

Thanks for sharing Pete. I really enjoy your videos.

11:25 "Y'all are a bunch of Karens, asking to speak to the manager." Love it.

Your Video's are very good. Keep them coming.

I could watch you for days. Hello from a fellow NYer.....right outside Buffalo 😊

Sammy lives to see another day!

My husband and I love watching everything you and your family does. I would like to suggest a pallet chicken roost for the chicken house. Something like that might work well for your setup.

Luv the analogy…..oh is that a corvette hiding under the tarp?

Nice job on the chicken house (and the burgers...)

If you mounted the bucket to the lower pin hole, assuming the hydraulic cylinders have some extra range left, wouldn't you have a greater arc of travel, and a steeper down angle?

Great Parents , produce Great kids. who produce great Grandkids, and the link go on. But it all starts with Great Parents. well done. all.ECF

How about a lil paint on the cattle-car? al those tractors nice & red, ... a nice dark green cattle car will look gorgeous Pete!!!

Now all I can think about is burgers!!!

In my coop I used joist hangers for the roosts, just didn’t nail them to the cross pieces

She's got her daddies jaws

Pete i would NEVER make a stock farmer i couldn't bring a animal to slaughter i wasn't far off tears keep safe you lot.

ok look at it this way then, the other option is the let it grow old and die, that means suffering for a lot longer than they do at the butcher, and news flash evry thing dies. But as he seaid in a previous video the animals have at most 2 bad days on the farm, they are well taken care of.

There is an island in Alaska that was seeded with cattle long ago. The intent was to let them roam and then harvest. Island in heavy in fog and the cattle have become wild and not harvested. From the stories I have heard they have become lean, protective and die of old age. Assume meat would be like moose.

Loving the videos keep up the good work!

Nice to have a good butcher close by I wish I had one closer,but I razed goats boar goats so me and brother did our on close to deer season so we could mixed some of the meat. Goat is very dry meat so we would mix it with deer and use pork belly in the mix too bring a better taste of it.

I have been looking at the same quick hitch conversion for my 2250 loader. Let us know how you like it. I think you bucket will work better in the lower set of holes, if I remember from when I ran a 656 loader as a kid.

I'm new to the chanel and I love your videos there entertaining and educational makes me want to buy some cows thank you for entertaining us God bless

AWE ITS sad to see when they go to the butchers , but its understandable. love the videos you guys do.

Sitting here watching this...while eatin a t-bone. Quality entertainment right here!

Thanks Andrew!

Nothing like a dinner with family

If you go the upper hole on the loader, you will get a greater dump angle with the same length of stroke on the dump cylinders. You will not have the same load over height - it will be less but you don't load high sided trucks/trailers that I know of. I would check with your dealer but I think there was a higher flow pump for the 656 - you might also have them verify the relief valve pressure is where it should be. Some were marked on the end hex. I enjoy your videos - glad to see the old red iron still being used - takes me back to my early career.

Good video making city life look not so appealing.but have always lived in city but learning some stuff from u so thanks.

I think the cows know....😉

This is the process if you eat steak like I do it’s the process .

The cylinder pivot and arm pivot holes need to be closer together for more range of motion on the bucket. Measure the old bucket brackets and I'll bet they're closer together than the forklift. The holes are farther apart on the forklift brackets for more leverage.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks!

That's funny she called the heifers a bunch of Karens.

I believe you might be wrong about the position of the bucket attachment. I think that if you change the position of the bolt you will gain some more “dumping angel”. It should help based of what I could see from the video. Best of luck from Sweden!

Nest is the Best

New subscriber lovin' it🇭🇲👍

Pete I'm so glad your wife didn't have to get in that virus nightmare as a nurse. She is a blessing to be strong enough to be your partner. Your dad looks like a true gentleman also. I think what You have is such a blessing that was earned by you. What kind of tractors did your grandfather have? Did they make a living on just the farm? I've watched your videos on how you built the farmhouse. I've watched at least 3 times and used your advice on a few fixes on my house. I think you daughter will became a VET, she and your son are so caring and giving working with the animals. The work ethic is what is missing today, but I think this will change. Have you heard of the veggie boys ? They have mentioned your name before. 14 family members work on 400 acre farm they do silage in the huge bags, are you sure those are not biodegradable? If you did something with Andrew I bet both of you could grow quicker. Just an idea. All the best, keep up the great job , America needs more positive thinking and growth that you provide. Neal

Nice job on the video.

I was surprised to see you with that hot shot. In our ten years raising Dexters we’ve never needed one. Usually a strong tail grab works for all but the most cantankerous.

@@JustaFewAcresFarm I took the message from Don Covay better than Huey Lewis's more popular in America version: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hneistqApdTImbA.html Reading through the KZread comments on the song. Though by an American artist the song was very popular in the North West of England due to a phenomenon known as Northern Soul. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_soul All this is probably as dull as dishwater to most of you Americans but explains to me why I know the tune and lyrics of a relatively obscure American song.

Trying to visualize by pointing my index finger (hydraulic arm) horizontally on the edge of a ruler and sliding my thump (main arm) downwards the ruler (bucket) seems to tip down, I would give it a try anyways. Given enough clearance it would also seem convenient to add a hole for the pin further to the bucket side to get it tip even further. Greetings and keep going.

Wont be long till you buy a quick attach for the other loader. then you can switch out the bucket and spike to whatever you please.

Good job

The nail trick has spread off the farm. You'd be suprised how often i find cars with nails in place of cotter pins, even in the city. Always sketches me out, but i suppose ive never seen a broken one.

Thought of that nail I just found in my tire.

I just started watching your videos really like Them What a shame that the American farmer Cannot make the money he should For his product

I have a pin on my round baler that I put a nail in when it broke in the field. When I had time I put the correct pin in it. Next time I got to the field it broke again. So I field fixed it with another nail. This happened to me twice. So finally I just said I am going to leave the nail in there. That was probably 5 or 6 years ago. Still going strong. Not sure why the pin breaks but the nail doesn't. But not going to change it anymore

thats very smart, feed the pigs in the trailer !! and the last day close the door . More people should do that
