We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.

Evan, you seem like a totally different person, you are so energetic and enthusiastic about what you are doing. I think it is because you quit your job and the farm is no longer a hobby - it is your life. I am an old man and I would be very very proud of you if you were my son. My wife and I just love you and Rebecca, you are our FAVORITE YT channel.
Art & Melissa from Ohio
Amen!
@@artszabo1015 Totally agree 👍
Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, welding, live stock raising, tractor driver, lawn mower... this farm calls on all your skills, Thanks for sharing. BTW, nice job on the pen and loading chute. You and Rebecca will have a gem showcase of a place.
Great looking corral. Evan, you look so happy and peaceful since you retired from your full time job. I think full time farming agrees with you.😄
@@carolefoster4023 I totally agree.
There’s always a sense of satisfaction when you do a job correctly.
Couldn't agree more!! A great product just feels right!!
He's like the MacGyver of farming , solar energy array's and making gates out of scrap lumbar. Is there anything he can't make?
Evan is very creative.
Very impressed 👊🏻
Mistakes + lol
Hi, Evan! The little sheep gate is very clever. The whole loading chute is clever. The gravel portion of the chute should be a big help. Loving your videos.
23:52 When you finally realise that you are living your best life. Content with life. Well done Evan
I think the loading chute came out perfectly ! No negative comments here ! if you are happy how it came out that is all that matters. On my projects, I always say, " if you are providing or buying all of the materials, I will gladly let you tell me how to do it ! Keep up the good work and providing the excellent videos.
Well done sir. You’re turning into a regular Farmer Tyler (Ranch), one of our other favorites.
you really hammered it home with this one
We learn so much from your channel... We are documenting our homestead startup to contribute to UA-cam in the way that you two did!!.. thank you for another great Video!!
@RedRockRanchAL, I just went over to your site & subscribed.
@chris3m98 thank you very much we appreciate it!!
Go back a few years and watch some of Evan's old videos. It's amazing how much they've gotten done and how nice it looks. Makes me feel like a 70 year old slacker.
As a long time subscriber you cease to amaze me all the things you accomplished. That loading chute is a good one. 💪👍
Evan makes it feel like you’re right there with him on the farm! 😊
You did a great job! Don’t listen to those couch farmers, and carpenters they always do it better! 😏😏 I love your channel and how human you both are! 😊😊
You can swing a Hammer I'll give you that . Good job . Work speaks for it self.
I was holding my breath when you were pounding in the rebar- I thought - don’t hit the water line again 😂😂
excellent job Evan , always admire your persistence in doing it right
Great job as always mate thanks again and good luck with your next project mate
A mighty fine job there EVEN ,😊you make carpentry look easy
I love evening time on a farm. Cooler temperatures, shaded area's, less wind, easier to hear nature. That's your reward.
Looks awesome !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
The project came out GREAT! If you still have that chunk of post that you hit, I’d slather on some all weather wood glue, stick it back in place an hold it with a few nails. Mainly for looks, because everything else looks so good! Congrats on another great project!
He can’t do that because he has to put that chunk on the wall of shame. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Always enjoy your videos, and you present them so well. I admire the many skills you have. I bet if there was a flood, you could build an Ark. Very best wishes to you and Rebeka from Ireland.
I might suggest doing a few test loads now to make sure it works as planned before you actually need it. The steers might enjoy a ride around the block...
Evan, as always another good job. You put a lot of thought into your work. 👍🚜💪🏼
Hi.... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
You are getting really good at this fence building. Fencing is also something us urban people find interesting too.👍
Great job Evan!! Looks amazing!
I'd SO glue that piece back on that post! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Run some extra boards vertical- half way between the post. Keep your boards from warping and make it a little more sturdy. Especially on the west side of the corral ( the bunching pen). As for the building if you want to protect the metal just use 2x4s vertical attached to the metal, then run boards horizontal, no need to put more post in. Love the time you take show us what you do!!!
Awesome job. Might think about cutting the boards or adding a board at the turn going into the trailer next to barn. Good place for animals to catch their hips on those when they turn to go into the trailer. Ask me how I know😅
Great job on the bunching area and shute, Evan. I love the red gates. The steers and the sheep will definitely enjoy that new area with the pines as well. Looks so peaceful. I know doing all this fencing you have done this year might be a real pain in the butt....however, your homestead is looking like a picture on a Norman Rockwell calendar. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Good job, nothing to change in my mind. Well done.
I very much admire your construction skill. I don't think that I could have done it that well. I think that your loading area turned out great!
You’re making great progress around your place. Great job today!!
Grab some glue and a couple of screws and stick that piece of post back on there. It'll probably have the effect of protecting the post as well.
Great job!
You do some nice work. You should be proud.
Evan I think you did a fantastic job on your loading fence and gates.
Evan it looks great! Thank you for sharing!
Like the video and keep it going .
Man you hit those nails like lightning, …..never in the same place twice….lol. You need a gate in the chute about 8 from from the end of the chute. Cattle will try to turn around in the chute if they get scared. The gate can be made out of 1x8 with a pice of two by four on the side opposite the hinge to act as a stop. Saves a lot of headache when working them by yourself. Love the channel and content.
Evan, you need to talk with Farmer Tyler about making your loading chute so the animals can’t see out.
More projects like this ! Great process
I really like how made that loading shoot for loading cows and all that nice job
Coming from a livestock handling past, that setup looks great. Good job.
Good looking chute system. A real ornery critter might test it, most will behave and go where they should. Another great day(s) on the farm!
Loading coral looks good in my opinion. The barn looks in good condition and just needs a coat of paint. Of course, that's my opinion from 1500 miles away and seeing it on you tube
Evan I think the work you did on the the corral was awesome looks great I'd be happy with it.
no problems this time glad it went well for you thank you for shareing i really enjoy all your videos also
Your livestock chute looks good and operates like you want it to so it’s perfect. 🤠👍🙏🏼🇺🇸😎✌🏼
Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Hey Evan, don't forget to save that piece of post for your wall of shame.
That was an incredible amount of work and lots of lumber. Concur closing the loading ramp approach to avoid animals trying to leap over the fence. I also believe you need to protect the side of your barn. The paint may be peeling, but it has structural integrity.
Great job Evan. After all that hammering I know your forearms have got to be screaming right now. Adding some bracing on the inside of the barn along the shute wall should strengthen it up enough to keep the steers from doing too much damage. That is, if you even need it. It's not as though you're running 100 head through there on a regular basis. Being a full-time farmer now has really worked out well for you and I'm looking forward to the completion of your #1 goal, the fencing project.
Nice little loading shoot. You need a battery powered framing nailer! Game changer
I think as long as you like it, then that is what matters. The red gates look really good. And, I think it is a really nice job. You have a couple of quarantine areas there, if needed.
Your creativity and skill sets never cease to amaze me. You are an amazingly talented individual. Keep up the great work!
Hi I think u have done a fantastic job knowing u have to deal with the heat.x
Excellent job! Love the video. Great process!
Evan, you did a very good job.
I think the barn should be painted red to match the gates😊. I love a wooden fence.
I really like your idea to weld wire panels to your gates. Smart people do Smart things & you're one of them!
Great job... All lookin' good... Thanks for sharing....
The shoot looks great to me! Good job!
GREAT job! I rejoice in your satisfaction of a job well done. Each piece of the puzzle puts you one step closer to your ultimate goal. Well done, sir!
Love watching❤.
Chute looks great. You may want to consider putting plywood on the outside as they make the turn towards the trailer so the animals do not see anything but straight ahead
Evan, good engineering! I think it looks great! Nice job.
The thing to remember, is you only have to do this once! You wouldnt need posts, just secure it to the barn poles. Saves lumber. So glad to see your progress!
Thanks for such quality content. Sending positive vibes from the uk.thank u.
As always, Great show Evan
loading chute looks great..!!
Everyone makes mistakes. You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work
Well thought out and beautiful fence.
Good job sir, another project completed.
Yes sir I agree. You really should close up the sight lines on the chute. Additionally, son you buttoned up the two short gates like an old hand. You should be proud.
jmp
Looks great. I'd add a small piece of 2x8 on the strong concreted post, by the little red gate just so it matches. Lol
Should work great. Looking forward to the single wide pond bridge project
Brilllllliant - thanks for sharing ⛵️
You did an awesome job. Nice neat work.
You’ve done a great job Brother 🤙
Nice job Evan. Corral looks great
If you need a force leading into the chute, put in a spur fence so you can swing the large gate in to 45 degrees.
Hi Evan you might consider putting a couple of boards along the tin siding in the race, cattle will dint the side of the shed otherwise, keep up the good work love your property
Great job. Your planning paid off and in the future it will hopefully make life easier. My only thought is when you do go to load maybe some straw over the gravel will make it less of a abrupt transistion.
Good job. My favorite post style with heavy long boards.
I've driven some of those long nails before. I'm not sure if it's something in the neighborhood of muscle memory or not, but watching you drive them made me think my arms were sore. No joke 😂
I wouldn't set post next to the barn.
Just attach some 2x8 to match the outer fence.
To keep the animals from punching through the metal siding.
Good luck and God bless
Keep them coming I love your videos 😅
On the sheep gate, put a lag bolt behind the slide bolt so the handle has to lifted to slide back and open.
judithB I am edging my driveway with landscape timbers and pinning them with 12" nails and some rebar. Keeps them from moving when a vehicle hits them. I am not used to swinging a sledge for sure!! LOL I am having to chainsaw some of the ends to fit around bends, and then drilling holes for the pins. 30 of them should finish the job and it already looks better!! Also using a maddox to remove the old rotten tembers. I am ready to move onto another project!!
Looking good don’t let other peoples comments change your mind looks like you have thought it through.
Swing that hammer brother!!! Yeaaaah
You could put another layer of metal siding on the barn instead of a fence on the barn. It should increase the thicken of the wall, only as tall as your fence .
Nice Job 👍
Great project that is fairly coming together. You are making a huge difference to the farm. You’ll be ploughing next. 😂
A wee tip for any future projects when you are nailing or screwing boards try and place the board so when they cup that they are cupping towards the post.
Looking forward to the next video already. 👍
Nice one Evan. At 8:20 I had my fingers crossed that you weren't going to swing & miss. Your boot was awful close to the sledge hammer. But I suppose they were steel-cap boots. Ha, ha.
EVAN BEAUTIFUL JOB TODAY.
5 STAR 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
PATCH THE POST WITH THAT PIECE YOU POPPED OUT OF IT WITH GLUE AND A COUPLE SCREWS NOBODY WILL LOOK AND NOTICE IT.. I KNOW IT BOTHERS YOU.. I NOTICED IT FITS PRETTY GOOD... THE WHOLE JOB LOOKS REALLY GOOD.
👍👍👍👍👍 🖖
That look so good!!!!!
It’s Looking good great work
