Happy Mother’s Day Rebecca 🌸
Always look forward too, and enjoy the videos. Happy Mothers Day Rebecca!!!
your welding job is fantastic. Thanks for sharing with your chores.
Doing well. Photos were cool, you were so lucky to see it.
You are so good at building those fences !! I LOVE YOU GUYS !!! 🥰 🥰
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah and all the Mothers watching this video. Hope y'all had a wonderful day with your families. Evan, the fence bracing is looking good. You have done a great job. Have a Blessed day.
Looking good around there Evan and Rebecca, even have the animals working to get ready for the pigs. What a crew. It's coming along for sure. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you all have around there. Fred.
You are so well rounded 😍 I like seeing all the different projects you're doing
Rebecca, Happy Mother’s Day. Have a wonderful and special day. We enjoy your videos. Have a great rest of your Sunday and a great week.
The Just a few acres channel has a good idea for cow fly control. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
I agree. Wonder how the economics work. 2 vs 28?
I like Farmer Tyler Ranch idea as well for flies. Seeing all those dead flies is amazing
Your fence is looking good, lots of work, but it will be great once you get it done. Sending a Happy Mother's Day to Rebekah and every mother out there! Thanks for sharing, I hope y'all have a good week!
Happy mother's day Rebecca! And to your mother! Fence is so nice Evan!
I was so glad to hear your bug eating was not intentional! Enjoy those free turkeys
Nice fencing👍👍👍
When making multiple welds it is best to tack weld everything together and then weld it out. This will stop pieces from drawing in.
Thanks again for sharing one more great video mate and as always the best to you and your family and your friends
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah have a great day 🌻🌻🌻
Happy Mother’s Day The fence is lookin real good 😊😊
Haven't heard from you in 6 days, I hope all is well with you.
One thing for sure Evan you sure are great with your animals
any time you weld metal if it will not stay in place it will move a little so the key here is before welding everything take everything in place and then weld it all it will help a lot
Love the video Evan Happy mothers day Reb,
You might have better luck with your posts tightening up by putting 4 tacks in first.
That way when the weld cools the tack holds it in position rather than it shrinking!
Happy mother's day to all the moms
Good job , I love these videos ! Tell Rebecca happy moms day she is a mom to thoes beautiful animals 😂🎉❤
Great Job. Looking good , continued Success..Happy Mothers Day...
I'm in southern Illinois also...maybe someday our paths will cross. If ya'lls mothers are still with us HAPPY MOTHERS DAY❤❤❤❤ you and I are so much alike it's scary..lol. keep at it brother
My father made clocks out of logs that fell during hurricane Fran in NC.
Happy Mother’s Day Rebecca!!!
As always, a great story to tell, thank you............
Evan, great job getting the fence bracelet almost done. yea! get some fly spray for ur cows. thanks
I've said it before on another channel. Only pull the string 3/4 way open . It's plenty enough to let all the material flow from the bag and easy cleanup. Just grab the empty bag and everything is attached rather than picking up bags, strings and paper strips.
JudithB I pull all the string off and put it in the first bag. I roll up the bags and stuff them in the first bag. Keeps it all contained and easy to burn when I burn the trash or prunings.
Hello Evan and Happy Mothers Day Rebecca
Right on brother good job nice corners
Happy Mother's Day Rebekah 💐❤️🇨🇦
I make coasters out of smaller cookies. About 3/8" thick or even 1/2". Sand them down and put 2 coats of polyurethane on them and they make fantastic drink coasters. I have made trivits or serving trays out of larger cookies. Added handles to them and they are fantastic. Great for hot pots off of th grill or out of the oven. If you want, show us the neighbor's result when they are finished. Great gifts or things to offer at a craft fair.
Evan, you have so many valuable skills! Ellie doing the Limbo Rock - how "low" can she go?😉 As you were speaking of your plans for the moms in your life, Maya wanders up like on cue! A perfect moment for you to say Happy Mother's Day to her too. (Is she a mom?)
Great job on the fencing, but man is it a lot of work 😮
Your fence is looking beautiful.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
JudithB Happy Mothers Day to everyone out there!!! I raised some turkeys out in Arizona that did that, extension office contacted the one in Phoenix and they said they needed Game Bird feed instead of chick feed. It has more Manganese in it. I havent had that problem since (45 yrs)!! We could just see some red in sky, but photos taken in Arkansas were beautiful!! I am working on the garden this weekend, lot of weed whacking, and pruning weed trees back. Taking the fabric covers off the hoop beds and 1 needs bird netting put on. My 2nd fig bush has finally sprouted too! Rain coming in tonight again so dont know when I will be able to get finished.
Ahh, you can’t stop Elle from getting into the barn, it’s too cute. You did a great job with the welding. I think you are a perfectionist. Happy Mother’s Day to Rebecca and all the moms out there.❤️❤️❤️
Happy Mother's Day, Rebecca and Evan that fence is going to be very strong when you get through with it!
If you research how to setup a Barn Swallow nesting area and how to attract them to it, you will find your flying insect problem greatly reduced. I have barn swallows (Chimney Sweeps) that return every spring to a small unused chicken coop, and I hardly ever get annoyed by insects, even though I am bordered by two horse pastures.
I was going to say purple martins and bats - they just need a good home. Both are voracious insect eaters
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms.
Happy Mother’s Day, mosquitoes are terrible here. Can’t stay outside for long. Missed your midweek video but glad to see this one. Fence project is well underway
This may have already been said on here, but I would leave a hole on the bottom of each pipe for any water to escape. You could also drill a hole later on.
Happy Mother's Day Rebecca! I am probably not your typical viewer since I am an 80 year old female but I enjoy your videos. My father was talented like you. He also could do most anything. Today I caught myself checking out a pipe fence at a commercial building to see if the fence was welded like you have shown us! Funny! Your videos are interesting. I look forward to more videos and wish you and Rebecca good health and happiness.
It would be nice if you had a small trailer to hook to the back of the generator. That way you could pull all the equipment to the work site without two vehicles on site. Also save driving the tractor to site, walking back to shop getting the pickup and driving it with the work tools to the site. Just a thought.
Really looking good. ❤❤❤❤
Looks really good! Thanks!
We always called those "Lilly Pads"
Miya has chosen you as a herd it's so cute
Happy Mother’s Day to Rebecca❣️🔆🇨🇦
Happy mother's day
Hello Evan, Rebecca enjoyed your video have a great day
I agree with Dustoff below. that Pete on "Just a few Acres" has a cow back rub chain/rope he treats with Diesel Fuel and another additive that he swears by. its a padded thing and they walk under it and rubs there backs and treats it for the flys. worth checking it out. as for the gaps on the welding. I am not a welder bytrade. but I saw that you were taking too much time on the "Gaps" that could easily be filled with weld passes. glad you seen that also. saved you a lot of time and end product looks and works just fine ? always has for me. and by the looks of it for you too Evan. thanks for another great video and for sharing. ECF
Ewes only come on heat when the weather cools of in the autumn as a rule, Polled and horned Dorsets will lamb 3 times in two years, and some Merino, but as a rule most breeds wont
Of course, a very happy Mothers Day to Rebekah.
But Evan, oh the fence looks great BTW, but why have you chosen stick instead of MIG ? Wind? Heavier and more equipment to move ? Cost ?
Why not give the hanging back rub anti fly system a try. Cows hate flies, so anything to help them is good. Excellent fencing project too.
It should have a nice mother's day but neither one of us have our parents alive anymore. But on another note I got to ride in an ambulance to the hospital 40 or so miles away. And how I achieved that was by not putting my foot on the side of my stihl gas blower and as I pulled the rope it came up and took a big gouge out of my lower leg, right next to the bone. The doctor at the emergency had to put 6 stitches down inside the opening. Luckily it missed the major arteries and right next to the bone. It was a 5x7 inch wide gap. Finally after the 21 stitches and some of the skin cut away I got to get home by 7. Saturday I got all the grass cut and the pastures mowed down and now get to sit around like a crippled old man.
Evan, dryer sheets will help with the bugs. Put them in your hat.
What’s going on with the tractor build. Are you still waiting for parts? I really like watching you work on it.
Have you tried using cheap U-bolt muffler clamps for the vertical alignment on the poles? Super easy. and work way better than c clamps. There's no need to overtighten them. Do a quick spray of florescent orange paint on the so if you drop they you can find the parts!! Great videos!!
Look up Family Traditions homestead. Sarah has a good recipe for organic fly spray
They’re great Cristian people 👍🏼 Happy Mother’s Day’ Rebecca 😊
get your self a cone grinding wheel but you may have to use the bigger grinder insread of using that flat disc. that might speed up things a bit
When I'm welding something up I prefer a gap. You get better penitration and a stronger weld.
Actually with The Gap you get a better weld lot stronger
Put something like empty soda bottles or ziplock qt bags on top to keep water out for now.
Thanks Evan
There's eyes looking at you from the woods across the road
Evan should tell those "eyes" that "my camera caught you looking at me". When the shtf, bad behavior will have real consequences. I tell my neighbors "I don't call 911".
I just saw your latest video (5/12/24) about a local school giving you turkeys they hatched out. As an educator, you might consider donating them back (after they have been processed) for gift baskets for needy families at the school. Just a thought.
Happy Mother’s Day Rebecca
Thx
I thought I ordered some Royal Palm turkeys and Black Copper Marans from Rural King but I haven't heard anything yet.
You love it !
Evan - Love your videos. My wife and I watch every one of them. Your “midline brace” is way overkill. With welded pipe, just two posts with one horizontal and one diagonal will do the job.
Pete has a good treatment for fly's ask him what he uses it looks easy! just a few acres farm!
I saw you build another fence using conventional materials which I thought look great. Giving this why did you decide to go the pipe route?
Good job. 🙂
Happy Mothers day Rebecca
I think that Redmond Garlic lick will do the trick, give it a try Evan.
It’s been a long wait between posts.
👍
that orange/red looking template you are using to fit your pipes has slots for other angles like your 45's look at it.
The guide has 45 and 22 5 degree straight cuts, for going against something flat. They aren't notched or saddle cuts for going against pipe. Only the 90 degree end has a notched profile for pipe.
Cherry darkens upon exposure to sunlight …
How long do you think those rusty pipes will last? Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
YUMM, FRESH BUGS!
Regardless you still left me wanting cookies. The milk's ice cold.
👍👍
This is a nice video to watch and learn from. I see you grind the ends of horizontal braces but don't grind where they are welded to posts. Does welding burn through the rust on posts creating a complete bare metal to bare metal bond? I'm sure you can tell I've never welded. 🙂
You should get a Mosquito Net for your head!
Well as faras the northern lights it was cloudy last night in phila.and consumering bugs in parts of the world
There considered a treat
Thank s for the update question when are the beef critters due
We saw them Friday night in NE rural Ohio, cloudy for us as well on Saturday. Give it a try tonight.
👏👏
Why would you go Metal post and not Wood Post? If a wood post breaks you can set a new one right next to it and cover up the old post. You can't do that with a metal post. Just wanted to know why you went that route
Overkill 🤣😂
Hi everyone. Any recommendations of others channels that are of the same quality as Sonne Farms, Just a few Acres, Farmer Tyler Ranch, and Country view Acres???
You need an old farm truck that you can keep all your stuff on.
I use an old pickup bed trailer for that
Farm looking good. Do you have any advice for a new Farm UA-cam channel?
set all your equipment on a trailer and leave it on it and just pull it back to the barn and when you want to work pull it out to the field ... save a lot of time
