      @@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.

    Congratulations at the auction! A nice bit of change for the ole tin can! Kevin and Sarah please know that neither one of you owes anyone an apology concerning how you take care of any of your animals. You have shown from the beginning how well you take care of your birds, rabbits, pigs and cows and the compassion you have shown when there has been problems with them. Also, there is no way everything you do in any given day can be shown in one short video. And by the way I look forward to Wednesdays because I know I will get to see a new video from my two favorite UA-cam stars! Have a wonderful day!

  • @dianehall5345
    @dianehall5345 2 роки тому +95

    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 was surprised that the amount Sarah and Kevin got wasn't higher and was thinking that having to call a vet out would really cut into their profits. So glad they didn't have to call a vet this time and hopefully it will remain that way for them. Thanks for the interesting info you gave. I'm just a city gal but enjoy watching the homesteaders and learning how they live and work.

    • @dianehall5345
      @dianehall5345 2 роки тому

      JamJar- yes, some customers want calves with sort of a bull's eye brown circle around their eyes. I guess it has something to do with old traditions.

    • @dianehall5345

      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

I remember you doing breakdowns on costs for chickens and heck, I remember Sarah talking to us about costs/profit of selling salad greens and banana bread at the farmer's market. Lots of us have followed you on your homesteading journey. I for one am fascinated by the way you have developed your business plan and am grateful you have shared all of this with us. I commented last week that I finally begin to understand how all the different angles and income streams come together. Thanks for sharing through the years.

    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.

It was so tempting to buy one but these were still drinking milk so the amount of time and work and cash involved with feeding them wasn't doable as I was quite sick and hubs works full time.

    I have no worries or complaints how you take care of your farm. Some people don't realize not all is shown miniute by miniute on videos as well television. Vedios also get edited due to rule for posting online or view. Love your channel. 🧑‍🌾

    I wanted to come on here and tell you that you have a new fan and she’s 5 years old. I put your video on my phone this morning to listen to while I was walking around and getting my kids ready for school when my daughter heard you talking about the calves. She took my phone and sat down and was glued to it until the end. Lol

    Kevin and Sarah just so they know! Because anyone who has followed your channel for the last few years would already know that such a comment that accused either of you of not being good stewards in any aspect of the functions on your farm would probably without a doubt know that the comments were intended as a dig with who ever making the comments trying to get under your skin. I'm sure that it's not easy to ignore such comments. Although it is my hope that you continue to be the amazing people that you have always been ever since you began the homestead UA-cam journey. I for one have been totally impressed with your business management homesteading skills and information sharing. Thank you ❣️

    Thanks for sharing. I like how you have your pens set up. Growing up on a farm most of my life I can appreciate the importance in this. My Dad and brother just sold their spring calves. Since I retired last year, I have been helping with morning chores. And I am sorry someone would think you haven't been caring for you animals.

    It always amazes me how people respond on videos. They seem to have no idea about life or that maybe you don't share EVERYTHING on YT... it's common sense to feed your animals, etc! You two are amazing. We've watched you for years; you're a household name! You just keep doing what you do and delete the negatives. You're a blessing to the rest of us. God bless you, prosper you, and pour His favor upon ALL you put your hands to do! Double blessing, Lord! 💕🙏🇨🇦 watching from the cold wintery north in BC, Canada!

    I love how you share the cost and profit of things along the way. Please overlook the negative comments. Some people just look for something to complain about. You guys are a constant source of lessons and information. I don’t know how many of your videos I’ve saved to go back to as I need them.

    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.

    Thank you for bringing back fond memories. I remember my daddy taking me to the "Sale Barn" and listening to the auctioneer. It is always fascinating to listen to them. My father has recently passed and this reminded me of him. He and I would watch your videos together. Thank you so much. BTW, only those new to watching you might not know what great stewards you are of your animals. You guys are awesome with them. Sending love your way.

    And IF you were to busy trying to be "You Tube Stars" you would be putting out a lot more videos!
    Why some people have to be so cynical!
    Keep on with your videos. I love watching good clean wholesome videos.

    I cannot believe someone said that to you about your chickens. All of your animals look healthy. You do what you can for them to keep them fed and comfortable you do more than a lot of people do. That’s one of the reasons I like watching your UA-cam video. You don’t holler and scream or prod them with high voltage prods. I like watching your UA-cam because you may remain calm and caring which makes it so much fun to walk through and around your farm with you guys. Take care.

  • @ksay34

    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.

    You 2 are the furthest thing from trying to be "YT stars"! From the start of watching your videos, I've always been impressed with how much you both want to share great information on homesteading and all that pertains to it. 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. You never act like you know it all. You've shown when you have made mistakes, and how you've rectified those mistakes. Always in a humble way.

So glad to hear you say you were church goers and Sarah always represents the Lord Jesus Christ well on her t-shirts. Sarah, I hope you’re doing well, you sound like you might have a little head cold. Pull out some of your medicinal herbs! Thank you and congratulations on the great selling of your cattle.

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.
