Am I the only one who loves hearing Megan say "that's right, that's right"? This family is the real deal. So happy I found this channel.
I love it too!
I could listen to you and Andy talk all day! I just love your sweet accent! Thank you for your videos, they are so informative, relaxing and entertaining!!!
Thank you so much ❤️
Yes! So true. They have really calming voices, and they have so much to share. We just love their videos.
That is how an animal and livestock is supposed to be treated and raised.Those cows and calves are actually happy.
I wish people could see all the time y’all spend farming that not on video!! A farmer’s work is never done. Every day you wake up there is work daylight until dark!! Y’all make things look ease Keep up the great work!! Love y’all’s videos every time y’all post. Farming is a great trade!!!!
takes more time to film and edit than it does to farm! Trust me! This is work....but the real work in bringing this stuff to ya is behind the scenes...countless hours of editing after the work is done!
You are 100% right, I think one of the hardest things about making these videos is compressing 3-4 hours worth of clips down to a 30 minute video. The work never stops but I’d take this work any day over a 9-5 ☺️
I agree with you both and trust you about the videos! I’ve never made videos! I’m working 12s welding and I pray one day I can have a farm of my own!! We have a green house on a small garden but no room to raise meat for food! But God takes care of us
LOVE THIS ❤️ Growing up we trained our dogs to run the cows in…. Such great times !!!
Y'all are just precious! Loving your videos. That butter OMG....get me a hot biscuit. Beautiful chickens and cows. Picture perfect. May God bless you all!
Another great video from True Grit! Watching the cow's excitement as heading for greener pasture was so awesome. Made my heart sing also. Enjoyed, thank you.
Love watchin your videos ! What a wonderful family with well adjusted kids, and a couple who work together so well. Thank you so much for taking time to share your rewarding farm life with us ! What a blessing you are to me and so many others.
The work on a Ranch or a farm never ends... but seeing you Megan and Andy you are what true woman and Andy is what real men are made of,the passion you have for that kind of life is truly perfect and is a labor of Love without a doubt...Like the saying goes when you do something you love you'll never work a day in your life... Stay Happy... God Bless...
thank you so much, you're exactly right
I tell you what Megan, you could be on Wrestle Mania the way you have to handle those cows sometimes!! You two are such hard workers. 😍
🤣🤣🤣
Pass the hit biscuits I take tomatoes on mine gravy bread meagan you got to come to the fair in august I got your adrdsz but your last name thanks I am mailing you all some things how do I send pictures I want you to see the farm God loves us he dies soon I see my sin that’s in heaven I send you some things meagan & Andy Alastair name hit the rest

Y'all work together so well. Love watching you
Adorable to see cows dancing in a field of green grass.
I love you two! So honest and happy with your life style and zero pretension in everything you do! Thank you for sharing your family and home life and your beautiful farm and animals❤
We love all your videos keep them coming
HAHAAH ❤ Those cows gonna be rubbing their bellies this evening!
That was fun! The cows are all frisky and Tiger is a good dog helping round them up. Cute.
Your dog is really a farm dog, just chilling out in that Kubota
This is making us want to quit our road trip journey and begin farming again! 😅
haha you're welcome to come back anytime you want
What you and Andy are building is amazing. You can tell how much love is in your family. Gods bless all of you! ❤
thank you
It was nice seeing the cows so happy and running around! ☺️ Meagan, I always enjoy watching you make butter. You make it look so easy!
Hope you all have a wonderful week! It's always nice to stop in for a visit😊. That butter sure looked delicious. I was just imagining it on a hot biscuit!!!!!
We all have good and bad memories. Watching y’all’s videos brings back all the good ones for me. Like another comment said, I could listen to y’all all day. Great wholesome stuff to watch other than the other junk !
Hello good people, no matter what the season, you two are always busten your butts off. I so enjoy watchin you videos.
Y'all remind me of my younger years when I could walk good enough to move the animals. Boy I miss those days. Now I get to watch Y'all do it. God bless you, Andy and kids. Love y'all. From Michigan
Love watching yall….great videos of your great life…envious ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too.
You two really work so good togeather plus those two little ones.I used live somewhat like that.But I'm 81 years old.I enjoy your family so much❤🎉
Sheep knows your voice but horses. Cows 🐄 ❤ do too precious love you all from Tennessee dairyman loved by every one they are precious
What a joy to watch those cows and horses run to that grass. Y'all don't feel bad about not getting everything done on time...that is pretty much my life too 😕 and probably most peoples. Can't wait to see the new little piggies. Loved this video as always.
It's funny how ya watch some vids on social media about rotational grazing and how easy it is...this time of year is the toughest in my opinion..the grass is starting to come on, but it's not knee deep....very easy to overgraze this time of year...I'm leaving mine on grass like yours for 6 hours at a time now...then back to the hay. Shrink up your paddock size and rotate them back and forth....small paddocks, short duration and rotate back and forth to the hay lot if ya can. OVERGRAZING TAKES FOREVER TO RECOVER! We'll be feeding hay in June if we don't watch! Great vid guys! Thanks for tagging me! Josh
yes overgrazing is absolutely horrible, thanks for watching and commenting, I hope you saw that we were still using a meat chicken tractor like yours, its worked for us for 5 years now, its amazing how fast grass will grow when its NOT overgrazed.
True Grit: Appalachian Ways is a very good name for your channel.
❤️❤️❤️
Love watching your daily life videos. Meagan's interaction with her cows is so sweet! Andy, I love learning the reasons for doing the things you do!
Hey Andy and Meagan. No there is nothing prettier (in my opinion) than seeing animals graze on lush green spring pasture. And yes I am just like Andy’s grandfather. Always fixing something just enough to get me through the job. Been like this for almost 60years now. Do you guys think there is hope for me still? 😂😂😂
Hahahaha!!
I am an "indoor girl" from New England, and I'm in love with your videos. I love the way that you go with the flow and still get it all done. Thanks for sharing your vlogs and lifestyle with us!
Great job y'all 👍🤓. Nothin like fresh butter❣️. My Grandpa always said ..
"Ain't nothin wrong with getting yr $$ outa it", and boy did he ever.nothin wrong with repurpose things👍🤓👍.
I guess I got a little of my grandpa in me 👍😜.
Thanks for sharing with all of us watching. To me a day in the country is worth more than a month in the city👍🤠👍. Much ❤ from Michigan y'all ❤
I had no idea that cows and calves were so “frisky”! How cute are they!?! Enjoyed this! Thank you! 🤗
Good morning Meagan and Andy and family. I always enjoy watching your videos. Love your farm life and animals ❤️ .Have a Blessed Day 😊
Candy Butter. Good name for the butter
Like the pvc idea
Usually my money runs out before my list of stuff to replace does. What most people don’t realize is on a farm everything could use replaced,refreshed or reworked. It’s not the squeaky wheel that gets the grease it’s the broken wheel that gets replaced. Enjoy y’all videos
You are so right!!
Ya have some Beautiful animals 🐎 🐄
That is pretty
I really enjoy your channel
Hi Meagan and Andy, Nobody can call yall lazy.😂 Eclipse today. Watching from Texas. Love yall ❤ GOD Bless yall ❤😊
Your broken parts of your chicken tractor are really easy to fix, Just turn upside down and slice a couple tubes where yours is broken. First cut the broken out and slip over what you have making the splice a longer tube so that you can fill in the broken part.
Love it, wish I still had my youthful energy
Once again, awesome job!!
I just got your book yesterday. Looking forward to using it.
Thank you!
I LOVED watchin’ those happy cows!! That was a treat to see!
You know Andy, I understand why you didn't get around to building a new chicken tractor this winter. There was a time when winter seemed to just drag on now you blink and it's gone. It was new years now here it is April. That is some great looking butter Megan. It makes you want to bake some potatoes.
what I treasure about your videos is it's not driven by drama / fear & remains a positive outlook ...the family content & how to is so rewarding .. I personally enjoy my carnivore life style , no sugar , carbs .. I do enjoy animal fat & meat .. I love the fact you don't cook with seed oils ! I also like when you eat from the nose to tail of the animals like our fore fathers did ... Canning meat has always interested me ... Hopefully I can beat cancer I am dealing with so I can do many things I haven't done yet .. in the mean time watching you fills the gap ....
Beautiful day looks like. Fun video
I really enjoy your videos! Good stuff!
Great video
Thoroughly enjoyed!! We use everything the way y'all do!😍❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
Hello hard working family… the drought is horrible. We experienced a really bad drought here in Houston Texas and the bad thing about that is that the city put us on water preservation when we could use our water and mine is Thursday and Sunday and I looked at the water bill and they’re still requesting that you do that so I feel several 55 gallons of water on the off days just in case and also hope for rain we have a slight chance of rain today without eclipse ,so I’d rather have the rain..lol for my plants 🌱 🌱🌱🌱
It would be heavier but slide some rebar in the pvc that you pull on.....I have a canopy I put up every year and wind always bends the metal pieces in the top so I duct tape rebar to the metal folding rods and wind never hurts it now
Just found your channel on this rainy day! My boys and I are binge watching theses videos of yours. So informative, and really just a joy to watch! Love your personality and everything you’re doing. I love you already! ❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
if you put some 45 degree fittings and extensions on the front of the chicken coop it would work like sled runners and it would pull a lot easier.
great vid thanks..
Channel milissa k. Norris -modern homesteading UA-cam “year round chicken tractor &coop” episode shows mobile coup. Being you’re so handy you could make one yourself . It’s a clever coop and she lives in Washington state!
Y'all are such a hard working family.... God Bless Y'all...
You two are a blessing to watch and listen to.
It sure is beautiful there this morning with the blue skies it’s cloudy here in central Mississippi
That is really something how you make butter it looks so good it’s just fascinating how you guys do everything on the farm I really love watching it. ❤️
Hi Andy and Mag I'm in love off you're place that green grass WOW just love it 😀❤❤besafe and GOD Bless ❤️🌹🙏🙏
I put together one of those stoney ridge pvc tractors some time ago. It broke, luckily bout that time I was watching gardening with Leon, so the pipe didn't go to waste and was recycled into wicking tub pipe. Wood for tractors is the way to go and Mr Joel will confirm. The look of that cream then turned into butter 👍👍.
another Great Video "You Make Farming Fun"
Y'all sure are busy around the homestead. Looks like you are doing it right.
WHEW! Kudos kids for all your fab tutorials you so graciously share with us. I'm a newbie to learnin' homestead farm ways. I'm super small scale garden, chickens, cat and two working dogs size. So... everything...literally everthing you show and tell I sponge up! Much lovexoxo. TY!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for taking us along for the chores. Best wishes, D
You two roll just like my wife and I.
Cheers from the North.

Hello
I missed seeing Maggie make butter with you 😁wow you guys got a lot of work done 👍
She was outside playing, no interest in making butter that day lol
@@TrueGritAppalachianWays
👍
Hi Megan and Andy! Absolutely loved today’s video! Getting to see y’all turn your animals out to the green pasture was a delight! Watching them run to that grass and kick up their heels was awesome 😃By the way my name is sherry and I live in southeast Missouri with my hubby Wayne. We live in the country but don’t farm . I do have 6 laying hens and look forward to gathering the eggs every day. Thank you for sharing your day, can not wait to see your little piggies! Envious of your butter lol God bless y’all!
I learn soooo much from you two. I like seeing all the little details of the various endeavors. I'm a visual/kinesthetic learner and it helps me know realistically if I could do this or that. Thank you!❤ you!
Hallelujah you’re great farmers am lover for cattlemen
Pigs are delicious from the rooter to the tooter! Great video.
I forgot about the pig pickup lol
I really enjoy watching your videos God bless.
Thanks for sharing the life.
Looks wonderful and a great way to raise a family.
Also it well drag better pulling from the bottom
I just found your channel! Love it! We will be following you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Andy use heavier pipe. They make schedule 40 or schedule 70 pipe, which is much heavier but lightweight so you can move your chicken Tractor.
I feel at home watching yall especially since you talk like me, country to the bone. ❤❤
You folk are doing a wonderful job at homesteading and the perfect life, truly an inspiration! I was wondering if you've ever tried something akin to a turkey baster for drawing cream off your milk, just a thought, but I know how you love your ladles!😊 the pvc chicken tractor is great, I'd cut some pvc sections in half lengthwise to make repairs and screw them on for reinforcement! Last another five years! And maybe some skid plate underneath the leading edges, maybe the 4 corners to avoid rough terrain! Thanks for sharing and God bless!❤❤
Prayers coming yours way
Check for yall every day. Got yr cook book arriving tmrw. Our farm needs chores every day. Bùt we love it.
thank you
Wow this was just yesterday 4/8/24,good Job Guys...
Make you a latch to hold that door to that feed hopper open and it won't be so hard to clean out. 😁
Great family!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Great video I’m enjoying each one. My cow was sandy , I trained her from an untamed heifer. When I had to sale she was a highly trained cow. Look forward to the new piglets.
I hope Candy gets adjusted for you soon.. bless your heart, you’re getting a big workout there now! But you’re just like me, with the “It’s got to be done “ attitude. And that butter, Oh My Girl!! I don’t have a milk cow, but I have an Amish Country store not far from us, that has fresh dairy. And cream is one of them. I’ll be going to get some tomorrow to make us some butter 😊. there really is nothing like it!
Thanks! God Bless from TN.😊
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. From Wisconsin.
Very nice work!😇!😇!😇!😇!
I am new to your channel and have watched a few episodes now. You both are very humble and knowledgeable and I enjoy your wholesomeness. After watching a day of your life makes me realize how lazy I am 😂.
You both work very hard and have other jobs. I have your cookbook arriving on Sunday and cannot wait for it to arrive. Cannot wait for the next video since piglets and meat chickens arrive on the scene. I’m blessed to have accidentally stumbled on your channel. Thank you for a great wholesome video!
thank you!
Wow! That cream!!! So cool
That’s hard work but so satisfying. The taste, OMG I miss fresh milk.
Loved the video,I wish I lived over there with you all
I'm in eastern north Carolina
Reminds me of when I was young I worked a lot with my grandpa he was a commercial fisherman also had a little land which he had a garden every year & animals
You ever need a hand give me a Shout..
Enjoyed watching!
Put it in your garden worms love it
Black ABS pipes a lot strong for move in your line of work . Great little video, I roll off lobster 🦞 and crab 🦀 traps ropes use for your job . Every season I change out for new ropes because traps are very expensive to be loosing traps . Great 👍 little idea for your FREE RANGE CHICKENS 🐓 for organic chickens 🐓 feed . I would use 1/4 square wire because we got minks and weasel in the 709 . NO skunks 🦨, or raccoon 🦝 and snakes 🐍 in the ROCK 🪨 ( Newfoundland) 😊😊
Enjoy your videos! Love the accent!
Wow!! What a busy and strenuous load of work!!!
