***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

    @@leannekenyoung It's true, I've had them happen even before I found God when I was a child, and later on a teenager but didn't realize how or what they were. For example~ I remember when I was around 8 years old I saw my first shooting star and my mother told me to make a wish, so I made one for my half brother, "Who never gamed with me, never gave me gifts, barely knew me, etc", to give me two NES videogames, Mega Man 2 and Jackle. The car with me and my older sister went on our way, and when we got home, he randomly had picked them up in Regina, Sk, Canada that night and thought I'd like them. We were all blown away. ~ I don't know if these events are pre destined or God works on the fly, but I look back half a lifetime later and smile. Anyways, love you and God bless.

    P.S.- I just finished your video. We are a 3rd generation, 350 acre working farm and good stewards of our land and animals. Our farm is bisected by a busy secondary highway, so everyone sees how the animals are tended to. We even had an off duty State Trooper pull his car off the road one day. We had a difficult calving in the field and he rushed in to help! I have been in farming for 50+ years and have followed your channel, with interest for years. Kevin & Sarah, you are excellent stewards of your land and animals as well. You work diligently to learn the best ways to approach any new project and treat your animals with respect. We especially know first hand the cost of getting a large animal vet to minister to our livestock. It is costly, but we make sure it is done. So do you. The money you made at auction is what we are currently getting for our calves. Around $800.00.That is a good price. For us it depends if the animal has good breeding probabilities or is being raised for meat. We have one customer who requires a certain pattern of markings surround the eyes. The size of the heifers can also be critical, depending on the size of the bull. Otherwise the birthing can be difficult.

I'm just a city gal but enjoy watching the homesteaders and learning how they live and work.

    Nell Covington- The market in general drives the price of beef, even when our customers buy direct from us. They are well aware what the current market value is. There is also registered stock to consider. The breeding is easier to trace as to what you are getting to improve the blood lines of your herd. Nell, I was raised in Manchester, largest city in New Hampshre, but my mother's side came from a long line of VT and NH farmers. It was her mother who taught me farming and the old ways, along with her brother. He owned a poultry farm and lived the good life, WALTON'S STYLE - 1935). Spent summers on the farm. Now I live the best of both worlds. I would not want to give up my Kitchen Aid food processor, stand mixer or my All American pressure canner! But I do have a kitchen wood stove '-) Diane

From building structures for your chickens and livestock, to thoroughly explaining how to build those structures (from coops to fencing, etc.), and I love that you share the mistakes you've made and the tips for saving time and energy that you've learned from experience. Those details of information are wonderful. You both really want to help people who are interested and wanting to try homesteading, from beginners to established homesteader's.

    Thank you for the transparency and candor about "finances." It is seldom discussed on YT vids and the information is really valuable to folks considering homesteading. A couple of "mom and pop" butchers/processors are buying right off the homesteads in our area and paying at least as much as the sale barn. Usually eight to 10 cents more per pound than last week's sale price. They often do the loading and hauling. They then sell "grass fed beef" to folks in the surrounding towns, like hot cakes. A good deal for all concerned.

    More than most other youtubers, you two take very good care of your animals. I have taken care of horses and various other livestock my whole life and have seen good and bad care. You do an excellent job. From what I can tell, you are extremely organized people, but are also aware that with sharing your life comes even more responsibility to show proper care. So many other youtubers seem to get different animals on a whim and then are overfaced. You have always seemed to have not only done your homework when embarking on something new, but keep any growth to manageable levels. Everything is done with forethought. Glad you don't let people who don't know what they are talking about get you down. You used it as an opportunity to explain. Well done.

    Guys, don’t worry about the haters, they will always be there. We all love you, you’re working on your own homestead and it’s absurd for anyone to assume they have a say in anything. Put them right out of your mind. They really are to be pitied and prayed for. You’re doing just great and it’s a pleasure to watch your vids. God bless you guys always!

You never even get to all the many conferences because you have to care for your farm. To me that proves KZread is secondary to your primary farm concerns. But like I said…always a poop head. Hehe 😉 😂 So happy for your calf selling success. And I hope all goes well with Charlie and Linda furthering their family making. Lol Love, hugs and blessings always ~Lisa

So glad to hear you say you were church goers and Sarah always represents the Lord Jesus Christ well on her t-shirts.

One thing I am certain of is that your care and treatment of your animals is paramount in your homesteading/farming operations. Being a good steward of all your resources is a part of your core values and that comes through in every video you post. Many thanks.

    Haters gonna hate. Please don't give much credibility to the negative comments. Anyone who has followed you for any amount of time can see that you are wonderful stewards of the gifts God has given you. Also, thank you so much for sharing a rather private matter as your profit on your calves. We have seriously considered starting a small herd, but we're getting older and we would have quite a bit of infrastructure to build beforehand. This way we are able to access costs to do so before diving in. God's blessings to you both.

    I have not finished watching the video yet. I just got to the part to where you loaded the calves and you’re explaining about your fishing pole. I don’t think that there are people watching your videos that would criticize you if you were using a cattle prod! I lived on a ranch in North Dakota for 21 years with my ex-husband, who is a large animal veterinarian and we did what we had to do to move our cattle! They are not always the easiest to move, and you do what you have to do without harming them! Don’t apologize for how y’all are learning to work around the animals. For those who don’t understand perhaps they don’t need to be watching. Keep up the good work!

    Instead of an (invisible to bovines) fishing rod, try two pieces of 5’ long x 3/4” white polly pipe…this will move them along easily as they can see the pipe, also it gives you a 15’ reach if you hold one in both hands. Also Kevin, please don’t stand where the cattle can see you when they are being driven into the trailer….get in there with your wife and walk them all in nice and quietly. Hope this helps you both.

    I'm a long time viewer too. I also love watching them adding the rancher to their repretar (? I know I butchered that!! :) ) I think they fall into that rare farmer/rancher slot. They still farm like before. They still grow enough plants to sell and grow most of their same stuff just mostly in their high tunnels. They have always had a good amount of different farm animals, they just switched up a couple different animals for other animals. All of us farmer/ranchers have done this. We just find one kind works better for us than another and we also find we can't do it all so we have to make hard decisions that the farmer/rancher has to make.
