I love that you openly pray over your meals.

I would think that if you put a angled floor in them it would bring the uneaten hay towards the front

Oh that's a really good idea.

Save the old hay that the goats waste and feed it to the pigs

How great is that to have a dry barn to work in while its raining? Family time in the kitchen, what a blessing.

Al watched you rework those feeders. Like the new idea of the metal grate. An even better solution I think would have been to also make the feeder narrower at the bottom so the hay would all be accessible to the goats. As it is now the feeder will fill will hay that they can't reach. Most mangers I've seen have this angle to them. Just a thought. Enjoying your videos and look forward to seeing them every time. Keep up the good job.

Adding the 4x4 panels to the feeders is genius Al! 💭

Love the sound of rain on a tin roof. Getting lots of things done, Its looking really good keep up the great work and keep the videos coming. THANKS

You need a roof extension over the outside hay feeder so the goats will be able to come out at least that far out on a rainy day.

Al said on a previous volg that he has plans to cover the whole backside of the barn with a slanted shed roof for the goats to have a dry area and semi-free from snow.

It would cut down on the pee smell inside during the wet and snowy months also.

Cooking up a storm on a rainy day...sweet. Seasons change and the colors are glorious. Olivia, you are such a great helper... keep it up.

Another great week of Lumnah videos.Animals,eggs,shed build,car port,cooking,prayer and good food and family.What more can you ask for.Thank you for another week of sharing all you do with us.Bless you all.

Oh yum! That beef stew looks amazing!!!! And homemade crescent rolls!😋🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐💜🙏💙

I am surprised you didn't use your Instant Pot for your beef stew it does a fantastic JOB and I love it for sure.

The old hay would make great mulch on the garden, if you have any fall crops 🙂

I think the reason that they did not waste in the old feeder was because they left their heads in it the whole time they were eating. I think the new feeders were not deep enough for them to put their whole head in and still see out the other side. Like it is too close to the wall. I hope the wire helps.

I think that they also might be so used to eating in the natural head down position in the old feeder that they are pulling it out so they can drop their heads while they eat.

Thankyou for showing such us a wholesome, family endeavor. Heartwarming to watch ya'll working together making the meal. Keep up the good works!

Great idea, and the panel was perfect...no waste at all. Stew sounds good and it will warm you up! I love that Gina gets to be at home with you now. How is Olivia liking school this year? May you be blessed with a wonderful family weekend.

You two have a real partnership. Parenting, building, cooking, baking, editing and creating Loving Lives! Your family is awesome... Twenty-nine years for my husband and I so we know what it takes to make a really good one.

We raised all our children around the dinner table. I’m glad to see a family who eats together at a table and not in front a tv.

Al I have to say kudos to you for doing all the work on your farm yourself. You don’t get volunteers or friends to do your planting, build your cold room, greenhouse, remodel your kitchen etc for you! Respect! 👍👍👏🏼👏🏼 woot!

Margaret Bedwell agreed those are my favorite dinners as well. I’m sick of bbq and salads.

The mesh seems way too small for the goats to get their head inside to eat . The hay will not 'feed or fall' to the front of the feeders, it will need to be pulled forward manually.

I think the idea is for their mouths to get in there not their heads. It’s the same concept as a hay bag or net except it doesn’t give. Trial and error I’m sure though :)

Is thinking that if the mesh was installed with the bottom at back of.bin and leaned forward at top at a 45 the hay would always be accessible. Just drop hay on backside of mesh and gravity would make all of it available

@@CassarolesDad That's what we do. I used this 4x4 and put it at an angle with a trough at the bottom to still catch what they pull out. Works really well.

Egg wash would've browned those beautiful crescent rolls. I love your menu planning. Simple and good.

How wonderful Gina can be home helping on all projects including yummy looking meals. I can tell Olivia is loving it. God Bless you dear family!

My grandfather used to cook (boil) a lot of the garden fodder that his pigs were reluctant to eat raw (celery, potatoes, onion skin trimmings, beet greens, etc,) along with other tasty things plus a bit of feed, and once cool enough, serve it in their trough as a mash. They loved having a tasty warm stew!

I love the 'boys' ... they are so chill

Neatly done, Al & Gina! And the stew & crescent rolls sounded yummy! Have a great weekend, folks!

That stew looks absolutely delicious. I’ll give it a go. Many thanks to you all for your excellent videos.

Another great day on the homestead, minus the rain. Nice job on the hay waste solution. Looks like it's working well. Dinner looked amazing too! Blessings from NE Missouri!

I've noticed it in a couple videos now, your mixer needs some attention/maintenance. A little deconstruction and some food grade grease will quiet it down, protect it from overheating damage and extend the life of it's gears. It would make a great rainy day indoor project, and you could film it and teach everyone.

Oh my gosh... those rolls are beautiful. I can't wait to try them. Thanks!!!

Dinner locked amazing having one of those days here dark, chilly, rainy. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations on all your accomplishments this summer! 🎉Good job!🎉🎈🎉

Great job guys!! Food looked awesome.

Your rolls look awesome. I love beef stew in the cool weather. I always enjoy your cooking and eating dinner segments. I think it’s the reward for working hard all day, coming together as a family and sharing a meal and sharing our day with our loved ones.

Hi there. Just wanted to say I love watching your videos and seeing how happy your family is. They bring me a little more hope every time I watch. Keep up the great work God bless your family.

Genious!!! Love the feeder fix. Way to think outside the box.

I am addicted to your videos. I stay up until I get to watch you.

Al and Gina, once again another great job on the video. I look forward to watching every morning. Thanks.

You guys are hard workers.. great job. Love watching. Nancy from Canada

I’m so jealous of your weather. Where I live in North Scottsdale, we haven’t had any rain since May. The wild animals have eaten all of my plants down to nothing. Last year we had so much rain, and we actually got almost a foot of snow in the winter. This summer has been mostly watching wildfires from my porch.

Love y'all! Thanks for sharing!

Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Great video. Not sure which I enjoy more; the farm growing/improving or the cooking videos. Both inspire me. Keep it up.

The sped up pieces are funny! You are ingenious. You don’t waste anything! I really enjoy watching you. You’re a lovely family.🤟🏻. LOVE the music while you were preparing dinner! Yay!

Your videos are the sunshine in my mornings so I save some of one or two to watch on Sunday and Wednesday, but since you had a Wednesday one this week I have more to watch today Sunday . Thank you both again and again 💕💕

Love watching you and your sweet family...Keep up the great work...Your farm and food looks wonderful..God Bless❤

Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. Good upcycling of the palette material. I hope the holes are large enough. This will also help keep next year's kids from climbing in the hay rack. The stew looks great. Have a nice weekend.

THAT STEW LOOK SO GOOD

Looks like a very productive day ! God bless you all !

You are good at recycling everything. Wish we had some rain.

Loved the video! Hope the feeders work! The beef stew and rolls really looked yummy 😋! Have a great weekend!💕

That stew looked amazing, and those homemade croissants had my mouth watering. Keep on homesteading.

I grew up on Long Island.I love the fall and winter and spring.

Good morning folks! I'm getting my Lumnah fix early today! Sweet!

Great improvements Al & Gina. Shavings! So happy to see them and they will work for you so well! Pallet racking racks are some sturdy steel for sure and you must have loved working inside! 👍🌱🏡❣️

watching Olivia buyer the croissants... She seems to have grown over the summer. Love how she like to feed the animals

Nice to see another cooking video. That is a LOT of crescent rolls. Looks great. I just love your kitchen.

I really love to see how much smaller Moose is compared to his ladies. Lol I am still partial to Hope as my favorite goat, she's got so much personality and is super sweet. I'm also so impressed with the way you guys come up with creative and low cost solutions to things like this lowering hay waste project! I can't believe that Little Man is almost bigger than Hope already.

I literally laughed out loud when you looked into barn and the goats were all staring back at you! So cute!!

That looks sooo good my mouth turned into a waterfall when she pulled the lid off!!! I didnt expect it to look like that.

Goooood morning!! Hope y'all have a blessed and beautiful weekend!!⚘

Now I am craving Beef Stew!! Looked delicious!!

Nice family, Nice farm, Nice animals!

I eat stew all year long, it doesn't matter what part of the year it is. 😋

We purchased a metal one for power goats with this exact same design. Does a great job keeping them from just pulling it out randomly and it has her bottom that holds their extra goodies and extra hay. I love do-it-yourself stuff but no need to reinvent the wheel.

Projects even during rain. I applaud your gumption as I would feel too lazy. What spices did Gina use for the second set of crescent rolls? They turned out looking so good. And don't get me started on the beef stew. Oh my goodness, my mouth was watering. Bless you all.

Loved it … beautiful family … you guys are awesome

Leaves are changing down here too, even noticed a few on the ground this morning. We use a wire hamper for the goats hay feeder, was cheap and easy to install. I really like the tractor port......

Nice seeing Gina smile!

Great idea Al with the goats feeders.

AL Great idea to save hay from getting pulled out on the ground! ❤️👍

While the old cuts seem to go out of fashion I still get ox tail and give it 24hours in the slow cooker to make the most delicious, unctuous stew packed with flavour from the bones just what you need on a cold day.
