TRAGEDY on the Farm 😢 // Early Spring Jobs
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 кві 2022
- Unfortunately today we have to share of a tragedy that occurred on the farm. After that, we are working on some early spring jobs, including moving the young cattle to their new pasture, fixing fences, and getting ready to start plowing! Jim also explains how to hitch up three horses together for plowing.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horses farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

Your horses are so well trained, they know your voice, they know the commands, and they know when you're talking to them and not to your wife or to the camera. It's a remarkable thing!!
Thanks for watching
So sorry to hear about your kittens. On the bright side I thought the tree planting video was nice, it so good that you folks found time to spend with the grandkids.
Thanks Peter
Enjoy your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. The Lord wanted them in heaven
thanks for watching
I love how you are all happy, horses and parents, kids. Picture perfect.
We are pretty happy but no where near perfect!
Jim you might want to bring some extra rope with you when you get out ploughing, that piece that you are using to raise the plow looks very very suspect. I would hate to see you get a couple of miles away from the home and have it break. Love your video's.
I believe Jim is amazing ,,! My wish is that farmers can really learn from him,
hi jim and brenda. brenda i am so sorry you and abby lost all your kittens. jim you did a great job hitching three horses toghter . tell abby i amso sorry about the kittens bless all of you ..jim dartmouth nova scotia canada.
Hi! Thanks!
I think Whitey should be spayed . That way she could be a good mouser for the barn and not be attracting male cats. What do you think ?
Probably but it would be nice to get one litter out of her first, but we will have to do something different next time
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Just like a pride of lions when a new male comes in he will kill all the existing cubs so the females will come into heat and he can pass along his genes. Next time move them to a safe place like a box in your house or something.
A local shelter should do spayed very cheap
@@dianestoltz8502 And also a great place to get the grandkid's kittens too. Too many cats/kittens are looking for good homes today.
Often if you spay barn cats any male that comes around thinks it's another male and fights and injures the female. We always had to bring the spay females inside and they became house cats as any intact males really harmed them.
At first I was concerned that Jim had an accident. Seeing as he is recovering from a surgery I thought something nasty happened to Jim. So glad you are safe. Sorry to hear about the kittens.
I know how you feel Jim, I really enjoy turning the gardens each year. By the end of the season Im just as ready to put them to bed lol.
Sorry about the cats, Jim your on your way to plowing I am excited to lol 😆
We always fed our corn stocks to our horses and cattle. There's alot of sugar in it. They bulk up to get thru the winter.
Thank you for sharing the good and the not so good, it is just a fact of life we have no control over. Looking forward to Jim's plowing video's and his big kids pulling that plow. happy times ahead in prayer and GOD's abundant grace.
Ohhhh where are ya going ,,we wanta see more,,,this is all so interesting and smart,,can't get enough of it...my dad only had the one horse 🐎...so thanks again for sharing..it's so cool,,,( I'll bet the guy that jumped in the lake doesn't have this knowledge,,, hahahaha 🎶
Jim and Brenda that was very interesting thank for your share. My wife and I did a lot of horse shows in our younger days but I always wanted to work on a real farm but never got the chance. Thanks
Thanks for watching
I am sorry for your baby cats! Looking forward to the plowing video!! -Chris
Thanks, we have gotten more rain and snow. But hopefully soon!
I thought someone was going to have to put a halter on Jim to keep him from starting to plow in this video . Good control , Jim . lol
What a relief! The very expensive, brand new White Horse plow that I can't afford to even look at, isn't perfect at everything! The twenty dollar model rules!🙃
Great explanation on your preference in driving line setup for three abreast using check lines. Thank you!
We started out with all old models, they work too. Glad the setup was helpful
I always find Jim's lessons educational and extremely interesting, Brenda you're such a wonderful partner. I'm so sorry about the kittens.
Jim, I know that feeling. We started getting our garden turned over last week and hope to finish today.
Sounds as if you’re a bit ahead of us, hope all goes well
Thanks Jim that was real educational for me.
must ad worked with horses years ago back in the 40s so love what you do.
Thanks for watching
Another fun and informative video. The Mrs. is turning out to be worth her weight in gold around the farm. You couldn't ask for a better farm hand or should I say "Farm Girl" as you refer to her. Best wishes to you and your family.
Awe, so saddened to hear of the loss of the kittens. I never knew that the daddy cat would do that. Learned something new today. By the title of the video I was worried one of the horses was injured or worse. Thanks for another great video! Sending y’all warm thoughts and prayers for better weather from Hot Springs, Arkansas! 🙏🏻☀️
Sorry, didn’t mean to alarm anyone. Sounds like spring is well underway there. It’s snowing here 😀
Almost any animal will do that in order to bring the female back into heat again, yeah it's nature's Way but it's pretty sad.
Daddy cat , what kind of expression is that,
Many years ago I had a male canary that killed 2 of the baby birds when they hatched. I didn't know that I was supposed to put him in a separate cage. Wow, I didn't know either that male cats would do the same to the kittens. Poor Whitey. She's mourning so much. R.I.P. little kittens.
Yes, I was a little concerned when I first read the title of your video. I thought that something had happened to one of the horses !! Glad it wasn't, but the poor kitty learns that this is life on the farm !!
Mother cat will come back in heat , that is what the father wanted. Sorry about the kittens love from south west Alabama.
Yes, that's what we hard
So smooth to the yoke well done horses and Jim have a day love from TEXAS
Thanks. You too!
Good evening Jim and Brenda,eat your hearts out chariots of fire 🔥 Jim the power you must feel driving three huge horses is beyond me but must be one heck of a great feeling.Dont Ken and Buck look Bay not so black.What will Bill be thinking as he's left behind...bet he's definitely not happy .... stamping his hooves lol.l remember when you were at a pull competition and Lady wet of on her own,Bill was not happy at all and he started winnering and calling for her,think that's when l fell in love ❤ with him.That was a job on its own getting them all ready to go...not a job really when you love what you do so very much.All the very best 🌱🌱🌱💕 talk about champing at the bit,keep that man down Brenda or he'll be in the field plowing befor you can blink lol 😆
Sorry to hear about the kitten's another great video
Thanks
Thanks
Thankyou for showing a three horse hitch. From watching your videos I know you have at least three carts. I was wondering what the widths were on those. The reason I ask , I have the makings for a cart or two and would like to get them right.
Sorry to hear about the kittens . Drastic measures should be taken with that father .
Sorry to hear about the kittens. Life can be harsh but it's part of nature. Hope it dries out so you can put the trio to work. Thanks for showing how the horses are hitched up to the plough. Have a good week.
Ken sure is slicking up nicely.
Daily brushing will do that. Nice job.
I really enjoy your videos. Appreciating the horses and the work they do and the wholesomeness of your family and your beautiful daughters. Haven’t seen much of your son. We had a trauma many years ago with our cat who lost all her kittens. Her milk dried up because she was traumatized by a skunk. When we took kittens to Vet, it was too late. Bless you and your family.
Sorry about your kittens! Whitey now has another batch but we haven't been able to find them yet!
I never knew that a male cat would kill the kittens. I did know that a male lion will kill any kittens he finds as that will but the female into heat again!
I'm Back! I watch your channel more than television, or any other, and learn so much. I also enjoy your logging and farming videos above any other. I am also pleased that you take one day in seven as a day of rest. My day of rest is Jesus' Sabbath, Saturday,
but each of us has to decide which day is actually the Seventh Day. Not only do you and your family save a day to rest yourselves, but, also your horses, and that pleases God, I'm sure. Maybe that's why I take to your channel more than others.
I've said before, and will probably say again, that I'm a frustrated farmer with a strong desire to own Draft horses. I hope you continue this channel on UA-cam until I'm older and maybe even, gone. Thank you so much.
Aww poor Whitey 😢 she doesn't understand exactly what happened, but she knows she can trust you. It's good to have barnyard cats around to keep vermin under control, otherwise so much is destroyed. I hope she's able to have another litter by summer, with maybe more chance that they'll survive.
I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
Yes we are hoping for another batch.Don’t care for the father though. Take care and thanks for watching!
I'm never going to be a farmer ploughman but I learned a lot from just watching this. Good job Jim
Always enjoy visiting ...
Give her a lot of love
Yes, Brenda is doing that
Certainly didn't know how complex it is to hook up the horses for plowing !! Then connecting the plow "off-center"
needs the Operator to have experience - which you definitely have, Jim !! Sorry about the kittens !!
Poor Kitty. Prayers for Kitty's family. RIP Kitty.
It is difficult for business as usual when a family member passes. I have buried four bird hunting dogs in my hunting career. When the last one passed, my best friend and best hunter, a small German Short-haired female named Brandy, sensitive, well mannered and a fine pointing dog. She worked slow and close which was important for ruffled grouse and woodcock in the Michigan grouse coverts and woodcock lowlands. She was solid on point and worked slow which was essential for hunting the thick stuff and 15 to 20 acre popular stands. She retired at almost 14 years of age and I had to have her put to sleep three years later when the vet said she was in pain. I have her ashes in a small container waiting for mine. Then my soul mate has promised she will mix my ashes with Brandy's and spread them in a couple of remote and secret hunting spots in Northern Michigan and one special spot in Michigan's Upper Peninsula so my hunting partner and I may return to and become part of those places where we found the most peace. I have the latitude and longitude coordinates recorded so if my soul mates wishes to join us when her time comes, her daughter has promised to take her ashes and spread them in the exact same location if she so desires to join us. Yes I understand your sad event. I hope the four kittens went quickly and did not suffer.
My condolences to you and your family.
✌🙏🏼❤🖖
You make a complicated hook up a bit easier to understand. We have a few Amish farmers in the area and I watched a young fellow of about 30 years of age plowing with a 6 horse hitch pulling a two bottomed plow. One of the Belgians was being trained although I couldn't see any difference in any one's performance. They seem to know exactly where to turn at the end of the furrow, stepped neatly around with little comment and knew exactly how to make the turn from the headland into the furrow without any coaching the plow being lined up perfectly. It was a beautiful sight. I love to watch those big heavies go about their work.
Looking forward to the next video.
My condolences to you.your family and Mother Cat. Those of us who grew up on a farm are conditioned to deal with unfortunate events however it is never pleasant.ife goes on and the work must be completed whether one is sad or not, eh.
Be safe.
Live long and prosper.
😊❤🙏🏼🖖
Every video you make is so interesting and informative. I can hardly wait for the next one. You two are living the life lots of us would have liked to live. May God continue to bless and keep you all safe.
Can’t hardly express how much enjoyment it is to watch your work, explaining how the horses and implement works.
Sorry about the kittens. 🙋♂️🐈🐈
Very interesting how you harness the three. You explained it well!
I noticed you started to say Whipple tree then changed to equaliser! Three horses sound overkill for a single furrow plough but seeing it's a heavy plough and the extra weight of you and the cart I'm not surprised.
Very sorry to hear about the wee kitties. Happy no one hurt w/ the flight of the corn-crib! Really like to see the trio hitched up once again. Perhaps you could've unhitched the plow and taken them on an afternoon stroll while hitched to burn off some of that pent-up energy. LOL They look ready to GO!
Sorry for your loss
I hope you keep the corn crib!
Would be sad to see it gone!
Another great tutorial on hooking up three horsed Jim. always amazes me how efficient that setup works. thanks for another great lesson. Also sorry to hear about the kittens. But when it comes to any animal and their litters. we sometimes can't figure out the reasons why? but they do exist and are a part of life. be it on the farm or elsewhere. such are the laws of nature. thanks for sharing. I'm sure that loss will be a loss to the Grandkids also. but a good learning lesson in and on life. thanks ever so much for sharing ! God Speed. ECF.
Thanks ECF, your comment is appreciated
Thank you have a good day.
All your videos are great. This one was better then most for those watching to be better drivers. Lots of great info in this video.
Good job. God Bless You All.
Growing up in the 50s and 60z we grew up next to a farm that raised Black Angus cattle. Used to go out and walk in the herd
How how sad. My heart goes our to whittie.
Thanks
Sorry for your loss, but she will kittens again soon! Keep watchful eye on next litter of kittens. Just love all videos you share❤️. Much appreciation love and peace to you all!
Yes it's sad about the kittens 😸, good to see the young cattle running around after been shut up for winter , good to tell us Jim about how you set up for plowing with 3 horses 🐎, yes don't be too keen to start Jim as it's too wet , must have been a strong wind Brenda to blow over corn hutch , ok have a good weekend too you all
Thanks for sharing
jim and brenda sorry i am late today ....jim.
Anxious to see you turning some dirt over soon, great explanation in the 3 horse hitch.👍
Yes we are too, when the weather cooperates!
So sorry to hear about the kitten's
Good job.
I'm sorry about your kittens. I look forward to seeing the horses plow.
I have heard that males of a lot of animals will kill young so that the female will be more receptive, especially if they aren’t their young. Sorry you lost them. I was scared it was going to be about a horse.
Excellent video!
I like this work
Question?? I know nothing about horses and find what your doing fascinating. That big thing you put over the heads of the horses, I guess it's what the horse pushes against. There are two what I would call horns that stick up that has round silver balls on them. They stick up I think about 8 to 10 inches. What are they? What's it used for?? Maybe you could talk about it in one of your video's. It's something how you talk to your horses. lets see if I got it right. gee = right, ha = left, step = go forward, easy step = slow forward, ba = back up, ho = stop. ( What? no get-e-up) 🙂
That is called the collar. The 2 wooden pieces are the Hames, and are what the traces are attached to. The Hames are what take the weight of the load, and the collar keeps the big beasties from tearing up their shoulders against the Hames.
I'm tired just from watching. I've said it before, your horses are so well trained, they respond instantly to your commands, I'll never be able to figure it out‼️🐴🐴🐴 Thanks for breaking it down‼️ PS, Did the mom cat see the male cat kill the kittens? Is that what happened for sure?? POOR KITTENS‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Great video ✌️💯
Thanks
verry beautiful horses jim en brenda have e nice day im from belgium
Hello! Thanks for watching!!
Awesome video.
thanks
At least you are close.
Here in west central Minnesota we don't really have a guess when we will start yet.
Yes, guess we can’t complain even though it is snowing here
what a mess you really need a sparing clean there .But love you vids Jim you no spring chicken but love ya chatter. looking in from the uk near London
Whitey will come back into season very soon, the tom will return, so, for the sake of all concerned, pleeeease get her neutered, I'm almost sure your donation page can provide funding; and get the tom trapped. He will be visiting as many female cats as he can, and is thus better right out of the picture.
All ready for the sun 🌞 👍🎅🏻
Yes, it is snowing right now😞
Great Video i like them
Thanks
Good Evening from South Africa.
Good evening, thanks for watching!!
So sorry for the kittens and for Whitey. The same happened to our kittens when I was a kid 60 years ago.
Just wondering, do you ever have trouble with Lady acting up with the geldings when she’s in heat? She seems so solid.
Lady can be ornery at times. She has her ears back a lot😀at certain times
Sorry for your lost kittens good video
thanks
... hmm, last time since corn picking. If they remember they might be suspicious that it will be a hard day's work. Hope that this little walk swept that concern.
For those who don’t know, you don’t plow when the ground is wet because the dirt will end up in big dirt clods which are hard to break up later. I asked my parents years ago and they grew up on farms on continued to have gardens even with small gas tillers.
Jim,you are not the only farmer wanting to get out in the field 🙄. Here in the upper Midwest we are a least 😐 two weeks behind and wet weather is coming this next week. Brenda I know living with a farmer that is behind getting into the fields 😳 is no fun.Just ask my wife!! We are off the farm but I am not happy with this spring weather 😑 also. Sorry about your kittens 😸 too.You may have two tom cats 🐈 around. They will kill kittens that are from another male cat. Farming is all about life and death. Sounds rough 😕 but that's the way it is!! Hope that spring gets it's act together and field work starts for all farmers behind getting crops in the ground. Thanks 😊.
Yes, sounds like it’s cold and wet in a lot of places
Hello Jim & Brenda sorry to hear you lost the kittens I love cats
Whitey is sticking right with you, Ms. Brenda. I look at her loss like this, God was in need for more cats in Heaven. ;)
Or less cats on earth..
Yes, she has been sticking very close
... don't tel me there's a mouse problem in Heaven.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your kittens, when I farmed I had raccoons get into my hay mow , it was a hay mow , I hadn't started to take hay out of yet ,I had kittens get killed in the hay loft ,.I think the raccoons did it , I set some traps and removed them ,when I discovered them in the barn.
this one popped up from 8months ago ...wow..it was good..
Last fall I got rid of a 2 furrow P.& O. trip plow, on rubber with a rubber tire tail wheel. I hadn't used it in 10 years, so it was time to unload it. Too bad about the kittens. :(
Some nice looking pine logs you have there. Nice piles. . I have heard of fawns being abandoned due to human handling with wild deer. But with your kittens, I think your Theory makes the most sence. Enough about cats , ah ha.😄 Let's talk horses, I Was trying to follow you on the lines attachment, the laying of lines on the ground was best as less confusing. I guess the goal pull left go left pull right go right pull both to stop or slow, still applies but the outer left line to the left most bit...the outer right line to the right most bit.
And the middle may be bit to left horse and right bit to right horse. I have to watch it again as I confused myself a little. Good patience Jim waiting to plow, I know that's hard.
I recommend plowing the dry ground 1st then wet later , but...differant with horses.
Let us know how you do it. You are in a good position to make that call. :-)
How is that horse shoe doing? , the one caught in the mud? All better?
When I was little we had a plow just like the one you cut. Modified.. nice easy touch on the corn crib, a wide base footing and some cross bracing and it will be good for another year, I like that ole crib. :-)
I have subscribe and ur horses look good
Thanks! We are trying to reach a goal of 50k suscribers
Male cats don’t want competition. I was very young when I learned this lesson.
Great info! Have you seen any improvement on bucks knee problem with using the cbd oil?
Haven’t been doing it too long, will keep you updated
Toms will do that, especially if they haven't bred the queen, in order to bring her back into heat. So you may have a couple of tomcats around. Strangely enough, they will also kill the Mom if she fights back. I've had that happen more than once, when there were several toms in the area. (They have about a five mile radius that they travel.) So sorry this happened. Blessings to all.
Hello nice video Jim Brenda nature not so nice. I've seen where another male cat will kill the offspring. Lots of work to set things up your horses. Have a great day.
I'm sorry to hear about the kittens. I've been binge watching your videos because I want the farm life for myself and you're videos' have helped a lot. I have a question, I saw a video of yours and one of the horses (3 were droving) fell over while working in the field. Why do you need to get them up as soon as possible? There was a comment from Jim that he said its similar to cows. I'm familiar with horses, specifically Arabians. So this made me curious.
I was hoping to see the horses tip upright the structure.
I was trying to think of some way for that to happen, but I couldn't think of any way of doing it without tearing it to pieces
It’s my understanding that when the Barn Mom cat new litter gets wiped out there a new Male cat in the barn. Just like big cats do it
There is another way to put lines on 3 horses
Use your team lines and a jocky stick
That is true, I should have thought of that
👍
Explain what a jocky stick is
Thank you Jim and Brenda. Some times Tom cats have accidents at my place. LOL.
Those Tom cats can be pretty bad on those kittens
You need to trim Lady,s beard,. LOL
