Ken thinks he's at a pulling competition!

William is such a blessing for you both. Industrious, great attitude, and a servant minded approach to his work with you. All of the items he has built look great and you will get years of use from them for sure. Can't wait to see them in action, and I hope you can convey to him that all of us viewers love what he has done, and appreciate his service to you. It's wonderful when the modern people can work so well and have a great reciprocal relationship with the Amish community in area where they live and thrive.

I missed you Wednesday but everyone needs a day off to do other things. I only was anxious to thank you for getting my calendar to me so quickly and opening up to January was a very nice surprise seeing Ken and Buck standing tall. It’s so bittersweet but again, even Buck needed to be able to cross over to his forever home. I always wonder what Ken thinks of his lost partner but since I don’t speak horse tongue I’m thinking we may never know. Skippy is just too cute for words and he is showing his full puppy side with Ken in today’s vlog. Growing fast too…just like Bree and it’s almost shocking how dark Bree’s coat turned since she was born. It’s so fun to see all the changes going on at the Gordon’s farm especially with Williams help on the new structures and I’m certain you will sell them. Again thanks for enlightening and entertaining us each visit…it’s a pleasure and a highlight of my day. You have about as much snow over in your community as we do here in Michigan which isn’t much! Happy 2024 stay warm and safe until we next visit!!!:):):)

The feeder sheds are perfect and a great solution for feeding outside. William has been a wonderful addition to the farm.

That is the first time I saw Ken as jumpy as he was today. He is such a gentle giant.

Printaboul = Gaëtan As I like to watch the restauration of old farming machinery videos on another farming youTube chanel, I like the craftman work that you and William display on your's. This complementary to the primary aim of you chanel, interest me, but, if I'm the only one, that's ok... go as you feel it. Having my coffee, living vicariously farming with horses ...simple pleasure ... Thanks

Your little pup thinks the horse is a giant DOG!!! 🥰🎶❤️🙏🇨🇦

I just love Ken!!! what a magificient horse.

Me too! 💜💜 He has a wonderful, sweet nature and such soft hair to brush, and deserves many hugs!

Thank you Jim Brenda and William. That is a beautyful feeder. Ken acted like this new situation was a heavy horse pull. ZOOM😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤.

HEY KEN...you do know you are one of the Stars of this show.

Ken was acting like he was at a horse pull! As soon as he heard the chain hook up, he was going! The feeders look great! Since Ken is the teacher, his nickname is the Professor! (Or for me anyways) I like all your horses, but Ken is the top for me. Y'all stay safe

I am glad Skippy is not prone to barking, as long as the horses don't see him there is no harm no foul, for now.

Nice shed. Certainly cuts down on wasted hay.

I love William's sheds and the hay feeders..I don't care for the metal for ones..last year an acquaintance lost a large steer when a round bale fell out of the feeder and smothered/crushed him in the surrouunding mud..yours are very impressive..wish I lived nearer..I'd be buying these and the sheds..quality workmanship at a decent price is always visible to the naked eye.. Brenda..your little Skippy is such a joy to watch..he's just trying to entertain himself..dogs do love snow!.. Ilovemy calendar..I found your channel maybe a day or two after you lost Buck..what a gorgeous picture for January..thank you for sharing. .as always prayers and blessings

It is amazing what happens when 2 hard workers combine in one effort! A little help is a beautiful thing.

Ken is such a great horse and a helpful working horse

Just love your channel, please , please can we see the shoeing ❤

PG here. Ordered a Calendar! I saw a show using plastic covers for round bales and their horses were rubbing their manes off, so I suggested they buy one of these.

When you put that hay sled out to sell, put a bale in it so its purpose is immediately obvious. Really, to look at it could be anything. Great concept, good luck with it.

I think your feeders are ingenious. Wish I had them when I had horses. Good Job! - ACD

Love the hay sleighs. Also love Ken, he’s a handsome fellow.❤

Ken is such a sweetheart of a horse! And so easy going for such a big horse! He just takes it in stride when helping train the younger colts! You guys are in for some big snow storms in the coming days/weeks. Even down in northeast Tennessee we are going to get snow too.

i love Ken, he is beautiful.

Skippy is playing a dangerous game of "mess around and find out"!!!

Sehr schön ,das Heu liegt jetzt über Tage im trockenen. Die Tiere können nicht mehr trüber laufen und es verschmutzen.

English translation: Very nice, the hay has been dry for days now. The animals can no longer walk in the mud and dirty it. 😉

The sheds are actually exciting in their indicated functionality with beautiful construction.

I like the roof on your feeders. I built some 30 years ago that didn't have a roof. On mine the side opened up with large strap hinges to put the bale in because I didn't have forks on my tractor, I only had a spear. We used them for our young stock. My father-in-law had some rough cut planks cut with one end like a ski to make a stone boat. If I remember correctly they were 3 inches thick by 12 inches wide. They floated on the mud pretty good.

How about listing them on your local Craigslist? Easier for transporting locally.

We have feeders of iron. Works very well but you have to change place when its very muddy. You have to count the nomber of animals for one feeder otherwhise some dosn’t eat enough. Nice you make them yourself ! Works very well. Geetings to all of you and have a nice time.

Morning Jim and brenda stay warm

I just love that dog and Ken is the best of the herd

Even your fur kid listens to your commands 👍😃

Would it sell if u put a round bale in to show its purpose ?? Love seeing you with your horse's pulling logs and sleigh etc. Puppy is so playful trying to get the snow being dragged up by the evener

MAN.....................WILLIAM YOU ARE A BLESSING TO ALL OF US . LOV from south alabama. I LOVE YOUR WORK.

Recommend that you attach a cleat on either side of the seat cushion, but on the underneath side, to avoid the seat sliding off the vertical sides and dumping you on your backside. Just sayin'.

When is a horse not hungry and I'm glad you have a supervisor like skippy on duty.

nice shed. think it will work pretty good. nice to see the pup running around with you.

Hi Jim, Brenda. Great day to be on your guys farm. Jim, Brenda, I have to tell you if I was a horse farmer or any kind of farmer, I would for sure have 2 or 3 of your feeding sheds they look great! Jim, Nova Scotia, Canada. GOD BLESS ALL!.

Your feeders are a real saving. They do what you designed them to do, keeping the hay off the ground, and giving some protection from weather. My son's horses waste a lot of hay even with the round bale feeder. He would benefit from one of your feeders. However, he's in Georgia, a little too far to ship or pick-up. Your William is a good addition to your farm. He seems very talented, resourceful, and dedicated.

I think the feeders are great. It makes it better for the animals.

I think that’s the most jumpy I’ve ever seen Ken. 👍✌️

I like the hay shleds (intentional)😅. If you have a problem with rain/ snow getting in, you could extend the overhang another 6" on each side.

Shleds, ah ha, good one. Yes even an extra 2" overhang will help, I was thinking the same, Looks like the second "shled" has a little more overhang to keep the hay and floor dryer.

Me and Dad used to feed big round bales and clean barn with a team of Percherons. This brought back fond memories. We broke a number of teams for chores. Great animals.

You are very skillful! Good luck in your project!And I wait for new videos!

Love this "shed" plan. You really inspire us!

Oh I love that seat idea!

My husband and I look forward to seeing you all each time you put a video out😊 Always love seeing the horses and little Skippy❤ We sure do miss my GSP’s who were both 17 yrs. old. It’s a joy to watch what your all up to and William is a blessing to you all for sure😊 Happy New Year to you all and loving the calendar and hubs loves his new “Working Horses With Jim” hat! God Bless!!

Solid and well built nice job 👍

Ken sure is full of energy today 😊❤

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect Jim and working with the horses

Sure like the snow! Very pretty!

🤔good point on feeders , old farm trick plant seeds crops will flourish, 🤭 Jim/Brenda 👍👋

Another great video. Glad you folks got some snow. Still no snow here in the British Columbia Interior

Feeders are looking great. I imagine they are much cheaper than the metal ones everyone has. Great job! 😃😃😃

Thank you for sharing Jim. Feeder looks to be very successful.🐴

Exactly !

The feeders are simply genius, I like them alot. Skippy sure is getting brave and I'm so happy he's not an unnecessary barker. He'll be a great farm dog very soon. Ken is an amazing guy and I really enjoyed watching him move the shed and work so well for Jim. Blessings to you both, Jim and Brenda, and a very Happy New Year. 🥰

Great watching you working with your wonderful big mates 👍😃

We have no sunny days this time of the year in Seattle area (Puget Sound area). My wife told me it may snow here in a day or so. It only lasts at most a week before it melts.

Those outdoor hay feeders are an excellent idea and are easy to move. They will save money in the long run, because the hay won't be wasted. 🐎

The feeders look great! Very well thought out!!

Snow! It is still green here, NE of Toronto. Hope you get to have lots of sleigh rides. 👍😊👍

The scoot looks great

Feeders are great. Just need a bigger roof for better protection from blowing rain or snow. And/or close the walls down from the top some to provide more protection. Really enjoy your videos.

Nice job on the hay shed.. I believe many people will buy these so they don't waste hay.. Nice idea.. God bless..❤

Hello from Brunswick, Maine, US....

William, you did a nice job on the sled. Good Job1

I use square bales due to I have 1 1/2 horse at this time. A mini. I don’t feed that much hay to make it worth my while. If I lived closer would love a shed.

Good afternoon! I’m sure Ken wants to take off when you hook the chain because of the horse pulling team.

Good that the feed is off the ground, keep up the good work

Nice project for those feeding round bales! I would suggest adding steel loops to the runners for towing! They could be made with strap steel shaped in a U , extending back along the top of each runner about 15/18 inches with a minimum of 2 - 1/2" bolts through both sides of the steel and through the runner. This puts the pull on the entire structure instead of just one board! Pulling from both runners also eliminates the "whipping" from side to side you may get with just one hitch point in the center of the feeder!

Great idea on the hay sleds a lot less hay wasted I look forward to your videos very entertaining and informative thanks from Murray Ontario Canada

Hi I have mentioned about a video of the builds so people can see how it's done, another thing the people I have watched where selling the plans with the video or kit form. The video is part of the sale and not posted online, by you anyway you can expect it to turn up in the future though thats the way of the net.

Happy New Year to you all of you

Good job Jim , Brenda and William 😊

We just use galvanized steel round bale feeders, where the bale sits on it's end.

I liked your Hay feeders for the Cows and horses.❤

Thanks for the video

The tin corners are sharp on the roofing. Need to put something on the two lower ones lest a horse gets cut when the blinders are on.

Thank you for the calender! Got it today! Yep, snow is coming tonight we hope! I hope you will sell a few feeders and I think they look so good and very practical! Best part, you can move it all over the pasture!

Love the feeders great job❤👏👏👏

Your horses are so so beautiful wow❤love watching them work your so good with your horses I must say ❤love you both Jim and Brenda thanks for sharing your life with us all….the feeders are a great idea keeps the hay off the ground no more worms lol

as long as those feeders work and you enjoy using them go for it

Be well, stay well👍 Cheers from NZ 😎(it's summer here)

Was surprising to see Ken nervous about the sled, he is normally cool as a cucumber. Could see his worry in his eyes and ears.

@cindycarlson7881

It was more like he was at a horse pull...he was in a building (which he usually isn't in there), and he was set to pull a heavy load. 😉

That puppy is fun to watch.

I bought a used "Hay hut" made of plastic and no bottom. Easy enough to lift over a round bale. It works well but once the hay gets low and strong wind will send it rolling. Also will crack.

@johnkomosa9508

A thought, put "tent stakes" in the corners, a door hinge low, drill a 1/2" hole and pound a J rebar into the ground flap, maybe a foot long, you may use 4 in the corners but may get away with 2 , one on each side. Set a rock on top of the stake. Or just a rock lip sheet medal corner bracket to set a rock on. (Assuming you have rocks around)

@@johnkomosa9508 I'm currently using it indoors in my free choice shed. We had a hay shortage many years ago and I started using round bales. Always buy a few each year for the cold stretches. Although Wi currently doesn't have many. I also use a net bag to slow down how fast they can eat.

Thank you Jim & Brenda……Brenda any new recipes ? 👍👍😊

ken was feeling his oats......roaring to go

I wonder about the rough edges on the slats. Do you have any concerns about splinters in the horses necks?

Love the calendar really like to watch those horses work and still amazed on how much power they have

Love the outdoor feeders

The feeder sheds are neat!

Ken`s head was very close to the sharp metal corner . I`m sure you`ve noticed . But just in case you haven`t .

It’s A Stable life just made a permanent hay feeder with a similar construction idea. Seems to be less wasteful than a round bale feeder.

The feeders will save lot's of hay from being wasted by being walked on in the mud much less you might not have to treat your horses for worms as often. That should save you money on both ends. I think you have come up with a great idea with your feeders. I was thinking that the round bale one might be made into a 2 bale one but I don't know if that would be cost effective. Skippy is so cute grabbing the snow off the evener and grabbing the harness he is really playful. Thanks for sharing this video well done love it God bless and keep safe from sunny cool Florida. Be careful in the woods Jim. Your horses look great. William is doing a great job working for you.
