No code... Everything just went dead.

It's been awhile since we bought nitrogen but it was cheaper than dry ice. Another expense to consider is the tank that you need to store it, best I remember the tanks are around $400.

I was wondering if you were settled yet...I hope you are doing well! I'm happy that you have finally found a place in Kentucky to farm. I just know that you'll love Madison County. Beautiful area!

The other place turned out to be or could been a real mess.. A good friend of mine who lives at Richmond and is partner in Bluegrass livestock markets knew about this property..I'm not fully moved yet but hope to be within two weeks..I'll keep in touch and love to meet you guys after I get moved..I'll have a surprise too

@@thecattlemanswife The other place turned out to be with lot of issues and not good. My good friend who lives at Richmond and is partner in the Bluegrass livestock markets found this place for me. 408 acres and newly remodeled 3 bedroom and 2 bath house and barns and sheds and handling facilities..I'm not fully there yet but hope to be moved within 2 weeks. I'll keep in touch with you here. Hopefully we're not far from each other can meet you all..

I'm excited that you finally found a piece of ground. I like surprises and I'm just guessing but... Did you get married? I'm going to be meeting your new bride aren't I?

@@thecattlemanswife Not saying anything, just hopefully I'll have a wonderful surprise ☺

Thanks so much @Missouri Traveler

How many hours on your 4610 when this happened?

Somewhere around 2,800

Scott was feeding hay when ours broke down.

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you're watching. Keep your family in farming if you can, there's no better life in my opinion.

It's good to hear from you Ricardo! All is well here and we've been busy. We ended up with plenty of hay for the winter and the feeders are getting fat. The family and I hope you and yours have a healthy and prosperous 2023. - Kim

I prefer dry ice. It wasn't as cold as the liquid nitrogen.

@@thecattlemanswife thank you. I’m excited to get switched over. Love my Black Gelbviehs

You'll have to let me know how it goes for you. I ♥️ Gelbviehs too!

Hey David, take the fuel tank off and you'll see the bolts that attach the housing to the transmission

Yes, it happens! Often times round bales get left in the ditch on these country roads around here.

Since I posted that video we've had several rains. I'm sorry for such a late reply. We've actually had some severe lighting... bale of hay got struck and completely burned! I'll be sharing a clip as soon as I get time to put an update together... You doing okay?

@@thecattlemanswife Hi , Sorry for my late response too..been busy with things..I'm just about ready to leave this place.. waiting on a delivery to me. My special friend is having a delivery sent to me for my keeping and to bring with me to KY ... She'll be meeting me there shortly after I get there. Glad you have gotten some rains. Been just storms here and hot and humid 🥵.. Years ago our neighbors big ole barn was hit by lightning strike and burned to the ground..lost barn and over 2,000 Sq bales of hay.. all that's left is the concrete.. Many years ago we had a small field of hay down at house and my parents had to go to funeral I think anyway it was looking like rain. So my brother and I decided to take tractor and rake and rake it up and make a hay stack. I wasn't old enough to use the baler.. we worked out u know whats off and finally got a stack made. Pole in the ground and all. I remembered my Grandpa stacking oats.. Didn't know at time but my mom was home and watching us out the kitchen window.. we finished just as the rain came. We no sooner got to house than we heard it strike and my mom hollered at us to look. And it struck the pole and our hay stack was gone. Probably been about 40/50 bales

Glad you liked that one! They don't fight often but we've got one bull that will jump fences or tear through them to get to another bull to establish his dominance (even if it's the neighbor's herd)😟

We usually use dry ice to brand but this time we used liquid nitrogen. We didn't get the same results that we usually get.. The hair hasn't grown in completely white but it seems to be coming in better with age...i don't know anyone personally with experience but we did consult our vet before we started, he even loaned us his nitrogen tank and we followed his advice to a T. I didn't know that you could make your own dry ice... Tell me more!

@@thecattlemanswife Just to be correct I called an old Friend that I worked with at PYA - U S foodservice to make sure I was Right.... We made Dry Ice for some follow up deliveries using non refrigerated vans.... There is a Box that is held together with latches....with a hose that connects to a CO2 bottle that has a siphon tube in it......Once Connected you open the bottle valve and the liquid Co2 goe into the little box wher it solidifies once the escaping liqiuid stops coming out the slots at the top turn off the valve and break down the box and there will be a slab of dry ice.... DO NOT TOUCH WITH BARE HANDS.....

Thank you. I don't know if we will ever try to make our own, it sounds like we would need more speciality supplies to do so. During the peak of the pandemic, dry ice just wasn't available and we had to go with liquid nitrogen.

We will pick it as ear corn with a picker.

Good story, there are lessons to be learned from the people that cross our paths... ♥️

@@thecattlemanswife Very true. I as we or most of us have had people in or cross our lives that have left us with knowledge and thoughts of many things.. When I was first taken to meet my dad's parents I was taken by my Grandpa Wimer over to the store and post office ran by his farm neighbor and good friends. Mr Harper looked at me and told my grandpa that he's going to be a farmer. When I was 6or 7 I'd go to the store and his wife would give me two orange dream cycles and I'd go behind the store where his big bottom was and I'd get up on the tractor and sit on his lap and drive with him as he mowed hay. And yes he was rite. I became a farmer. He had a model farm. A silo and feedlot 50 years ago..

Thanks Kevin🌹🌻🌷

Thanks Kevin, where are you watching from?

Vermeer has some great products on the market and they have some footage on their UA-cam channel that might help you with additional research.

@@thecattlemanswife Yes they do have...I've been watching it.. my first round baler was a Vermeer and if the dealership then wasn't so far away from me. I'd have gotten a Vermeer with net wrap when I traded up. Went with JD as dealership was local ..I liked the Vermeer baler .. neighbor had one for years. 5/6 or 6/6 ? Way back in 70s. I like the 4/5 sz or 5/5 possibly?

Same, we always had Vermeer until a few years ago. Scott bought the JD from Craigslist. It was practically new and well priced, I believe he located it in West Virginia. I know he said he'd never pull another piece of equipment that far again😂

@@thecattlemanswife I did that once too and I'll never again.. was a round baler too. Pulled it for a friend

I love flowers too but I haven't ever grown roses. I'm sure they were beautiful ❤️

@@thecattlemanswife Yes they are beautiful.. even though they require lots of care and work. She had 60 bushes at one time for several years then cut back as they died and she said not to replace them.

That's right! We had so much fun that day and it was nice to do something a little different.

@@thecattlemanswife That's what makes you appreciate things in life. Even if it's taking a morning to help your mom or a neighbor mow his big field of hay

Thank you William... You doing okay?

@@thecattlemanswife Your very welcome. I'm doing ok. Thanks for asking . Just want to get everything done here as should have been and moved. Was 103 here yesterday.. Tuesday I went and raked hay for a friend just to have something to do.. Did 67 rolls

Thank you! How's the weather in Ireland this time of year? It's getting dry here...

I take it you've had an unripe persimmon...😂😂😂

Thank you, I hope to have another next year!

It's just the farmers in their field, alone doing their thing, nobody sees, nobody knows, they don't worry about being seen ... You are so humble❤️

@@thecattlemanswife I believe you may have figuired me out.... There was a time when thought of making a video mudded the actions of what I was doing.....But as time progressed.... those thoughts... became less involved and the job at hand took priority.....Whether or not anyone sees or even cares .....So to all those who think you have to do it Hollywood... Go Pound Sand!

I live in two very different worlds, my day job is one world and my home life is another world, they don't always mesh... If you know what I mean. I try not to over think what I share here on UA-cam, it's a side of my life that most people I encounter can't relate to. I like making videos and sharing them...I wish I had been doing this when my oldest son was still at home and working on the farm with us but it's too late for that. I know he watches and recalls doing all the farm things when he was Ransoms age. Both my boys can look back and remember that they were rooted in agriculture no matter where their lives might lead them. Thank you for being real with me Mr. David, much respect to you sir ❤️

@@thecattlemanswife Most of my Son's friends call Me POP, DADDY D, or Mister D, The Way I see it I just celebrated the 52 anniversary of my 21 birthday.....

We did get some rain from that system that moved through. The heat is on... Same here in Kentucky this week. It's miserably hot and humid.

@@thecattlemanswife pool time

Exactly 💯. The guys are putting up hay on some neighbors and I'm not recording video in their fields to protect their privacy so that's pretty much what I plan to do. It's almost impossible to scroll Facebook and Tic Toc while you're in the pool so I've been listening to a few podcasts while I float. I've found one that I like, it's called Beltway Beef, sponsored by the National Cattlemans Association.

@@thecattlemanswife That's cool. Take a float for me too.. We had 3 different sz poos growing up..last was a 24/48 and 4ft deep with a 15 ft deck and 24 inch walk around it. My brother was always the pool dude. But the time we got the last one I was usually out doing something on farm or gardens. He was my partner in the reg simmental herd. But that's all..a partner especially when we sold some haha ..

@@williamwimer2074 I take my responsibilities as the pool keeper very seriously as well 😂 plus, I'm making sure that everyone, include Jet, stays hydrated through this heat wave. Be sure and stay hydrated yourself and don't overdo❤️
