Nice to see Ken after his retirement from construction.

Brutus is a riot! Had a good laugh at his antics with the cows.

Oh! So you’re the ones who bought Ken’s tools!!!! Awesome! That Brutus gets more handsome every day.

I’m glad you were the ones to buy Ken’s concrete tools, worked out well for both of you!

Watching Brutus with the cows has made the start of my day soooo happy! ❤❤❤ He really does love the cows & I think the cows love him as well ❤❤❤

It was so sweet watching Brutus playing with the cows and the cows playing with him!

Brutus is such a goofball 😂. The corrugated pvc should also give some strength/rigidity to the chicken tractors. Good choice. Also they will blend into the landscape as opposed to the Blue tarps.

Brutus wanting the cows to play is too funny. He needs a bud to play with. Azalea is looking at him, like, you are such a goofy kid! LOL

Good day Lumnah family friends, the new chicken tractors will last for some years. Brutus is a hoot, he loves his cows. Al, you have us all wondering what is coming next, with Ken's concrete tools.

Brutus playing with the cows was my morning's highlight.

Brutus is so darn cute! His interaction with the cows was precious. Also, love your redesign on the chicken tractors. The upgrades you’ve made really make a lot of sense.

They should get a lot of years use out of these new ones.

To Al and Gina, I understand the need to make it lighter much easier to handle, but too light can still allow a predator to use their snout to slightly lift up the tractor and get in and attend a chicken buffet! With the surplus of medium sized rocks around the Homestead, you will have easy and cheap protection by strategically placing them on top of the tractor! Good Luck, and love your Channel.

@@TheChuck019456 Chuck! ( 1. 2. 3. ) If a Predator explores Chicken Tractor the Chickens squawk alarm, Brutus is expected to defend, the hardware wire offers a measure of protection ! If Predator would try lifting to get at Chickens, wouldn't happen for fear of getting trapped under, to big for flipping-over ! If Predator tried digging under to get at Chickens it would take time, again Brutus is expected to defend ! So' Chicken Tractors being used by homesteaders is nothing new, and it is of proper size, but it cannot be on property unattended ignored, without any protection measures, cause if allowed enough time a extremely hungry animal ( bear or coyote ) could in time defeat the protection, but that time of it being ignored is not good animal Husbandry ! Nothing protects 100% but Al Chicken Tractors come close, and are designed to cost as little as possible and easily duplicated !

Brutus loves the cows and they love him back. He's actually teaching them how to play. He's adding happiness to everyone. He's very special, I think.

Brutus is literally growing on camera. Every post He looks like a different dog.

Ken said he had a buyer for his screed and trowel. Didn't dawn on me he meant AL. 😂

Excited to see what the tooth fairy brings Brutus. Good idea inscribing the year on things you build / purchase. You have so many things to keep track of.

Glad to see Ken at the homestead. You will enjoy those cement tools, he and his old crew took care all their tools, well. Love watching both your channels.

Brutus is such a docile lovable clown act all in one pup LOLOL. Love the new chicken coup's for sure and they look so awesome. You have really perfected them throughout the years GREAT JOB!!! God is Blessing you ALL.

Brutus with the cows is the cutest thing I've ever seen 🥰

Ken must be very happy to have you with his infamous concrete stash! They are at a happy place for sure!

Brutus and the cows love each. Lol

Brutus playing with the cows was so.cute. And congratulations KEN 🎉🎉🎉

So enjoyable watching Brutus playing with the cows. ❤

Haha. I knew it was going to be Ken!! Good for both of you!! Glad you got great equipment!!

So fun watching Brutus with the cows! I can't wait to see home with the Highanders!!!

Brutus with his cows was fun to watch! Good to see Ken again. Love his retirement projects.

Ken’s tiny house is off to a roaring start! Pretty cool that you’re keeping Ken’s tools going! It was fun watching him and the crew building on your property…now I enjoy watching him building on his own!

the cows and the dog so cute to see them play😁😁😁😂🥰

Good Morning! I had a feeling Ken was selling those concrete tools to you guys. Are you still planning on building the big house? Olivia might be out of there in a few more years, and then your harvest house might be a perfect fit for the two of you. I miss seeing your other dogs and cats.

And i thaught Ken sold his concrete tools to you when i saw his channel

Good morning Al, Gina and Olivia. Chicken tractors coming right along. I like the design you have come up with. Brutus sure likes playing with the cows. They get along so good. Was good you could get some tools from Ken, those will come in very handy for you. Ken, needs to slow a bit. He's a very hard worker. Thank you for sharing.

It is very adorable to see how Brutus is socializing with the cows! 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼

Morning Gina and Al ! Hope you both have a great day ! And Gina please dont think you need to be perfect for us people on U-Tube ! That little mess in the shop is nothing, It's ok to have messes ! In fact it's normal 😍

It was good to see Ken on this video. The meat bird "tractors" will serve you well. You have a very efficient design. We look forward to seeing you build your concrete pads. We can only imagine what your meat birds taste like. We enjoy your KZread channel. 👍🏻

Set those chicken tractors on old tires to keep off the ground when storing 😊

Nice work on the chicken tractors. So good to see Ken on the homestead again!

looks like the circular saw shot sawdust into the wall socket. might want to ckeck.

I felt like it would be Ken. I’ll bet he will help pour concrete when needed.

The chicken tractors are really nice. I think the beige color of the corrugated roofing looks great. It blends with the wood. Great job.

Love seeing Brutus play. He is such a happy go lucky dog. He’s getting so big.

I saw that concrete tool on Ken's channel a couple of days ago! That's a why farmers become "horse traders".

It made my day when I saw Brutus playing with the cows.❤

Nice chicken mobile homes. I like your model of putting them where the cows have been, which helps break up/distruibute the manure. Seems to be a very efficient pasture management. There is a lot more science that goes into it all than I had imagined. As soon as you showed the burgandy truck pull up I knew it was Ken.

Good morning, Brutus wants the cows to play with him it's so cute ❤

Morning Al & Gina, boy are you two smart to get those chicken tractors done ahead of receiving the chickens. Also smart idea of getting the concrete tools from Ken, and you already know they work. That will save lot of time not having to work on them before using them. Brutus is so funny playing with the jersey's and chewing on the cardboard boxes. Planning ahead always pays off. Raising chickens is a lot of fun, each one has their own personality too.

Brutus: it's not the old tooth coming out, it's the new tooth coming in. He needs a rubber bone toy to massage the gums where the new tooth is breaking out.

Cardboard is free, actually it was paid for when the contents were purchased, so with Brutus chewing, it gets used-up providing additional usefulness !

Great to see Ken again, he always cheers me up.

I've never seen a more playful livestock guardian dog! I think he might do great, provided he becomes more nocturnal and learns how to brush Highlands when you grow the herd!!

Al, you really should have a large measuring in feet painted on the floor...just saying

Well that explains why Ken kept on saying perfect on his last video and Brutus and cookie was having a blast

Morning, from Louisiana. Brutis sure loves his cow. ❤❤❤❤

When cutting nylon tarps or webbing or rope use a hot knife blade. These blades are available to fit a soldering iron or a wood burning tool. The heat melts the threads so that they won’t ravel. It is the same principle as burning holes in weed cloth with a torch but with much more precision.

I think that Shop as set you free to do more work. I love it!!! I think of all the projects you've done already in it, man it's great for you. Now I understand, even better, why my Dad enjoyed his so much. The Homestead is growing much and so fast...it's a joy to watch!!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us....God bless.

With your chicken tractors.....I would put another 2 by 4 or even 2 by 1 vertically on the bottom as well, as it will make it really, really strong then. When you're not using them I would buy cheap tarpaulin covers for them, they will last years and years then. Great video 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Brutus with the cows is beyond adorable. Friends playing together.

Good morning Al & Gina! I can't tell you how much it warmed my heart to watch Brutus with Miles and George! He's going to be such a great protector for your livestock. It's funny, when you/ I imagine a LGD, you picture a fierce animal (which they can be, of course) but it's actually their immense love for their herd that makes them so protective of them. Looks like you've got a superstar in Brutus. Can't wait to see how much he's grown on his next vet visit. How old is he, again? He's huge!

I like your trick with the "V" groove on the hardware cloth.

I knew it was Ken!
