Farmwife Life

Farmwife Life

Welcome to our channel where Alex will show you what it is like to farm in the midwest and Lisa will show you how to add homesteading into your life. If you are a wife dreaming of being a crazy chicken lady and curious how to convince your husband to homestead this is the channel for you! Although Alex may not always be a big fan of my crazy plans he normally will end up going along with it.... except living off grid that one I have yet to convince him of. One thing we always seem to agree on are our morals, values, and just down right wishing we lived back in an older generation.

    Can you change the size of the hitch that connects to my truck they're not quite the right size for each other… I can either change the truck size… Or perhaps change the hitch on the log splitter… That seems to be the better option

    I just got my third order today... I have been very pleased.. Depending on the weigh is how of a quater you get all three orders have been different in size.. I personally do not like the butcher paper and went with another butcher that provides more cuts and vacuum seal.. My family and friends taster the difference from buying you own rather then store.. So so good..

    Nice splitter,adorable kids. I'm tryin to decide between this splitter and harbor freights 20 ton splitter. Theirs is dual action,itll split both way,but it doesnt offer the vertical sitting for larger rounds of wood on the ground. Hopefully watching some reviews will help me decide. Thanks for sharing

    They are adorable.I love baby goats!! I have two adolescent Pygoras and they haven't gotten out yet, we give them lots of attention and change up their toys regularly, we also take them on frequent walkabout and let them forage then. I think it makes them less curious about what is out of their enclosure. Have fun and enjoy them.

    Was given two perfectly gd cattle beast recently. Both heifers of just under 3 years old. We had to butcher one immediately. Both live weights were around 600kgs each. So we have sooo much meat. The second cattle beast we won’t be able to kill for a year. I think it’s awesome what you did. You learn and next time you can adjust, it’s all a great experience.

  • @maxsdad538
    @maxsdad5382 жыл бұрын

    I'm surprised that you didn't find out anything about the steer. Breed, grain or grass fed, weight... 144 lbs of finished meat means the live weight was close to 1400lbs, which means a LOT of fat. A 1200lb steer (ideal weight) gives you around a 750lb carcass, which gives you under 500lbs of trimmed beef.

    I just split 1/2 a cow with a friend. It's a local family farm that provides Grass Fed beef. The total weight for 1/2 a cow was 267 lbs split in half. We each got 39 lbs of 1 lb ground beef packages and split 9 prime rib steaks and 9 T-bones. Several roasts, along with tallow, ribs, a brisket (split) organs (tongue, heart, liver) and soup bones. It was all already cryo-vac packed and frozen. Ours was $ 5.50/lb, but it was grass fed. I have a 7 cu ft chest freezer and its about 2/3 full. I'll probably get a 1/2 cow by myself next time.

    I have a great recipe for spaghetti sauce using tomato paste that I found many years ago on a can of Hunt's tomato paste. 1 lb. Ground beef 1/2 cup chopped onions 3 cups water 1-12 oz. Can (Or 2-6oz. Cans) tomato paste 2 tsp. Sugar 1 1/2 tsp. Each: basil & salt 1 tsp. Each: garlic powder & oregano 1/2 tsp. Pepper (I prefer 1/4 tsp.) In large saucepan, brown beef with onions; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes or until desired thickness. Makes 4 cups (serves 6-8).

My daily breakfast includes Straus Vanilla yogurt usually with a few frozen berries from Azure or that I have grown or picked wild and 1/2 banana and a handful of that awesome granola I mentioned above. Oftentimes I don’t even realize it’s lunchtime as I’m still full from my nutritious breakfast. 😊
