Kevin and Sarah, of all the KZread channels I watch, and there are many, you two are hands down THE MOST RESPONSIBLE AND CARING livestock owners out there. I really appreciate the way you prepare for, respect, and care for your animals. You are the BEST! God Bless.

I was thinking the same thing. Even tho some go to the freezer or are sold, the are all treated humanely… is that the right word 🤔😵‍💫. I hate to see animals with no shelter at all. Even in the wild they seek shelter if it’s around. You have my respect for your respect!!! 👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Kevin and Sarah always be aware that bulls may appear as a pet, but their instinct is to kill. They protect the cows, You never know when their animal instinct will show up. Even cows can attack sometimes, don't take your dogs in the pasture cows feel that dogs is a threat to them. Just think about a rooster how aggressive they are at times. There's times they shy, but you never know when they will attack. Just be aware. Happy farming, God bless

Having a boundary around the pen so the piglets can squeeze away from momma is so smart!

Ha! When grandmother called the cows, she called them all heifers. "Whooo, sook-heifer" They'd all come, even big ol' Titan, the bull.

I live around some spoiled cows, and when I saw Tex running, that was the run that said "Don't call ME late for dinner" !!!! I haven't laughed like that in a while! 😆😂🤣

@ 4:47 I got tickled when you said Dolly, who is being raised for meat, is "going to Freezer Camp" over the winter. Much respect to y'all for treating all your animals with love, consideration, and respect as long as they live.

I got so tickled at you saying Tex won’t mind being called a cow. Then, he comes charging up the hill and I think we were all curling our toes. Whew! Scary. He is like, “how dare you demasculate me”. Bahaha Just teasing. I’m amazed though seriously how many people nitpick you guys to death. But numbers don’t lie folks. Keep the faith and keep going strong. Great job and great video as always. 👩‍🌾💛👏👏👏☀️👍

A Peacemaker- Those nitpickers should TRY farming for a day! We have a 350 acre working farm and really need a sense of humor to go along with the long hours and sometimes grueling work. There are only three of us family members working it because of Covid. No outside hires. And, we are all 70-something! Kevin & Sarah are a hard working brave couple to undertake so much in a tight time frame. They need to get their new farm ready to roll. My hat is off to them. Great job!

If you don't mind, what area in Maine? I'll be moving there once i retire the end of the year.

You know Myrtle, she'll wait until 5y coldest night so far to have those babies. The first freeze is overdue too.

Myrtle is doubtless feeling absolutely crappy right about now. And once those piggies show up, she'll be feeling absolutely exhausted. In other words - she has every right in the world to not be her usual sweet ol' self. Bless you Myrtle and the good souls who are taking such good care of you!

Awww, those piglets are SO cute! 🥰

The Amish are a blessing

I remember growing up on a farm in Missouri and really remember my parents belief in having the Amish build for you they were moms "The Guy" . When they put hands to wood you know it is done proper and they stand behind their work with pride .

so happy for you all GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I love how you keep preparing for the future...and mindful of the animals

That building is beautiful :)

Such a beautiful life you two have made for yourselves !!! I so wish I had a husband and he would want to live like this, I’m doing as much as I can alone but adding livestock is just too much. I pray God will lead me to a good man !

I loved the video today. Y'all are doing so well on your homestead. I was wondering though will y'all be putting in a storm cellar there like the other one? just being nosey rosey... If I were 30 years or more younger I would homestead but I'm almost 70 and not able to do all that anymore. Well I guess if I were supposed to God would have seen that is what I did. But I sure get a kick watching y'all. Sarah is so sweet and funny and has the most precious smile and Kevin you are a hoot. I love your tee shirts. my husband wants me to make some for him with my Cricket. Anyway just rambling... sorry. Just know y'all are loved and God bless...

Shirley Hare , I'll be 79 on my birthday , Nov. 4th. I am working at developing my homestead. Yes , there is much that I can not do. but also much that I can do if I just go at it slowly and take my time. I'm not in any kind of a race. lol I do get envious sometimes. At the feed store this very small girl 5' if an inch carries two 50# bags of chicken feed. One under each arm. I get the feed home and it takes me the rest of the afternoon to get one 50# bag off loaded from my truck , into the garage and into the feed barrel. But , I'm in no hurry. If I don't get it done today , there is always tomorrow. I refuse to spend my days watching Oprah like my younger brother.

I love when Tex recognized his name and ran to you , he is so sweet ❤

You guys treat your animals well. Your so well spoken when you explain things. You all seem to be doing well on your homestead.

Hey guys, I try to watch as many of your videos as I can - the gathering and pickling or canning of your crops reminds me of home when I was young back in the 70's we were dirt poor but would always go out in the English countryside looking for plums and apples and Blackberries to preserve, for us it was a necessity and though we were very poor I remember those times as happy and very precious. I am a seamstress working from home with a disabled son who is 23 and at the end of a very long day when my nerves are a little frayed and I am exhausted I love watching your videos and relaxing - it transports me back to that time long ago when my mum and older sister were still with us, when summers were long and busy and full of preserves and jams and chutneys and pickles. I just wanted to thank you both for the joy and peace you bring into my world, you are wonderful and just a click away. Love and best wishes to you all from South Gloucestershire, England.

I laugh every time you talk about Donna and Linda as my sister is called Donna and Linda is my BFF, ooh boy do they take some ribbing....lol

That’s funny!! My story is my late husband’s first wife was Linda and my name is Donna. Each time they talk about them, I think to myself: I wouldn’t be caught dead with Linda. But it happened at his funeral. She made sure she sat with the family. To not show a fit , I just let her. It wasn’t the place or time. My husband would have had a fit though. In the end I just had to laugh.

Kevin LOVES his pigs... you guys take such good care of all your animals...it is really a joy to watch people who REALLY care about them..food, shelter and love...love watching Kevin with his pigs 🐖

New work shop looks great, what a joy that will be when it's done. Myrtle sure looks like she's ready, and when Tex came running it was like oh, wow!

You are really do well. We know how hard you have worked for it.

Beautiful place and great healthy animals and absolutely love the new shop

Always interested in the updates.

Y’all have really been busy. Take care and may God continue to bless you!

That was fun. Love the new barn.

YAYYYYY!!!! Yep, that just about tells the whole tale! So mighty proud OF and FOR you two (and the girls, as well)!

Hello Congratulations on your new building, it’s awesome & roomy for your farm needs 👍 The Amish are amazing when it comes to building & crafting !!! My husband bought me a hand made quilt when we visited Lancaster ❤️ Love your bull too he’s beautiful 🤗 Take care

Just made it 6 months full time off grid and absolutely love it. Thanks so much for all of your great content. God bless

It sounds silly, but I have really grown quite fond of you both. God bless you. It is evident that HE has already. I am so thrilled at every accomplishment and improvement and growth step. You kids work soooo hard, and it blesses my heart when God prospers you. May God continue to bless you and keep you as you continue working and blessing us with your videos.

I’m so excited for you guy! I really can’t wait to see the upgrade move to the new “ homestead “ when you’re ready, I think you two will prosper so well on that on piece of land and then whomever buys your old homestead will enjoy all the hard work you’ve put into it. God bless.

Once dad had separated dairy cows in side by side pastures. Months later the "weaned" were put back with herd. 1 "weaned gal, started nursing her mother again. Yikes So sad that Dolly is going to camp, her coloration is so pretty. Ginger is pretty too

Whatever the signal is they come in. Happily!!! Been there. Even when they were ALL running and playing. All I had to do was say "get in". Everyone got into their feeding place. I stood in the feed stall until they did. I'm only 5'1/2". I loved them but boy! I had to watch out for me.

You're doing everything just like my dad did and we had quite a few pigs

The shop is looking great! Oh my, more baby pigs! Tex is looking good. I really appreciate your honesty about being around animals that can hurt you. Many people do not respect that cows, while domesticated, can still be dangerous just by their size. I love that your pigs are treated so well. How are your Quail doing?

I haven't been on a farm in many years although I do live in the country. Your videos bring back a lot of great memories and show how rewarding hard work is when you enjoy what you do. Thanks for bringing your farm life to the table (so to speak). Tex made me think of big ole puppy and for just minute I thought he wasn't gonna break before running you over, lol. Love the 'cows'!

Thanks so much for the updates! Personally I'd love to see everyday projects getting done; things that you folks feel are mundane for example cutting the grass, you could do a time lapse with a camera on a tripod. We especially love to see when you feed the ducks (release the hounds!). Anyway great video Kevin & Sara, thumbs up.

That’s amazing you our building more buildings and keeping animals out of the weather and safe your farm is looking great and filling out more that is awesome . Wow that is amazing a new work shop that’s cool.God Bless your family and thank you for letting uses come join your family farm .

Love the new shop and so excited for you to have a place to store equipment and do projects! Also really looking forward to baby piglets. Poor Mildred looks so miserable, but it will pass soon when she sees her babies. 💕

Thanks for the updates, things are looking great!

So nice to meet you both at VW Family Farms last weekend. I'm enjoying watching your videos. Blessings

looking good....that is a very nice looking bull.

Thanks for all you share! Miss your daily routine of feeding the chickens and other birds. Can't wait for the new piglets! How's your daughter doing in college?

Thanks for the updates! I love watching your life and adore one day too have a small slice of Heaven like y’all have

Great video as always. That new building is fantastic. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

Animals look great and congrats on the progress on the farm. That building will be so helpful. Stay safe up there and keep on growing 🤠

It’s very exciting to see all the changes going on in your lives. I just hope you are paying cash for all these upgrades. So many farms that had been passed down from generation to generation were lost after they made the mistake of over-optimism about their future earnings and borrowed to finance their growth. It is nice to see your continued success.

Try to milk the pig,if you can get a stream of milk she should pig within 24 hours,if just a pearl of milk it will be more like 72_48 hours

You've grown so much since I started watching your videos. You are definitely an inspiration. Congratulations on all of your accomplishments and growth.

Love seeing all the livestock and projects! You two are just the best! 🎃🌻🎃

Good morning from "just up the road" in Delta, PA!

Tex is a big boy, and watching him come running up to you was a little hair-raising, even though I truly believed he was just there for the treats...haha. He's a mighty handsome "cow", for sure. Love the new workshop. Can't wait to see it all finished!

I had to laugh when Tex started running towards you. I would have run. You are much braver than I am. I am so happy that your building could be built this year. I know you all are looking forward to moving up to the new land. I'm sure it is a pain to have to take care of both properties. Just keeping the grass cut and other maintenance. Well winter is almost here. We are having some cold temps here in WV already. Since you mentioned Myrtle having her piglets I thought I would take this time to announce, I'm a grandmother again. Not just the animals are having babies. I have a brand new granddaughter that was born on Oct. 22. Mom and baby doing fine. Thanks for the interesting videos you all post. Stay safe, stay well. God Bless.

Everything looks so good! TEX is one handsome bull, he should make some beautiful cattle for you. I’m so excited for you to have a new shop. I’ve been watching since you moved to Missouri. You have made some big changes in how you are able to do things. God continue to bless you and yours

@Living Back when I was being a ranch hand, the guy I worked for some of his cows would nurse 2 or 3 calfs, last yrs calf & the New calf, sometimes two older calfs would nurse. The rancher didnt care as long as his cows was having calfs...

Shop looks amazing. Tex almost bouncing at the end was so cute.

Good morning. Always excited to see your updates. Congratulations on the progress. TEX is amazing!

Wow!!!!! Looks great....congratulations

It was nice to see Myrtle’s smile. Dolly is really pretty colors. It is a shame that she has other traits that you don't want to pass down in your herd. Tex has a beautiful padock with the trees and pond. I wouldn’t mind living with Tex. Nice work shop. The Amish community are such hard working, skilled people. They are a great asset to have in your area.

When I was a younger gal I had a beautiful American Saddle bred great bloodlines. Huge horse. He was like a big dog. I would be out in the field with a wheel barrow and picking up things that shouldn't have been in the pasture. Suzi (horse) would always run right at me when she would see me in the pasture and stop a mere 3 feet in front of me. I'm talking full gallop to me. She would then nudge my elbow for me to pet her. Precious memories.
