    A great big thanks to all those who work outside in all kinds of weather, and for the mom's that take care of the babies in all hours of the day! Brings back memories of feeding the cows, the crunch of the snow, and the breaking of the ice for the cows to drink. So glad you all are weathering the storm, been thinking of you.

      Yea videos like this bring the non-usual viewers; there's always a few that think they are all that.
      They fail to mention about the rest of the wildlife, like deer, rabbits, pheasants, birds, etc? I'm sure in these past 2 weeks there's been a lot of wildlife that perished... not just from the storm but from predators that catch the weakend.

Great year for you Carson; new home, baby & horse! Enjoy every minute of it when you can. Lots to be thankful for. Merry ❄️🌲🌨️🐇❄️🤶🌨️🦌🧑‍🎄❄️⛄🌨️🐂❄️🧑‍🎄🎄 Christmas. Love ❤️ the closeout on the video; great to see you're family together and you are so right Carson to stay focused on "reason for the season". It's a about the birth of Jesus Christ!

    Young man, that was the best video I've seen all year! Some great education on the cattle and the cold as well as one of the only places I'll hear the gospel or "good news" about how much God loves us. That He sent His Son to take the punishment for OUR sins. All we have to do is believe!! Merry Christmas!!

    Here in und Europe we have to invest a lot of time in teaching people about the needs of robust cows or ponys, that live in nature all through the sesons. We do have Real cold nights (-22 C) with sometimes icerain and snow. A good sign is, when the animals eat their food, walk around and have their backs packt with snow. The shelters we built are not frequentet.
    Thanks for sharing your live and showing healthy animals. (And baby)

    So true that they’re built to live in the cold. A lot of the horses at our stable came in for the worst of it because they can but they don’t need to. I think us midwesterners are built for extreme weather too 😅
    I haven’t been able to get out because of the wind making unsafe driving conditions 😢
    So thankful for everyone that sacrifices to take care of livestock in these extreme weather situations. ❤

    So Wonderful and Precious to see your young family getting started, and started right by lifting up Christ! Really enjoy the authentic display of your life on the ranch, the daily challenges and the rewards of country living. Seeing your young family is a reminder of when we started out on a large beef and grain farm with a new born son. The Lord has given us this life and Blessed it with children and the satisfaction of doing a job well. May He continue to Bless your family in the years to come. Merry Christmas!✝

    Carson thank you much for noticing Chad putting out the Christmas tree and contacting him to let him know what could happen to a pregnant cow. His highland, Fred, was a very special guy and I think everyone who watches Adler Farms was totally devastated when he passed. It's still heartbreaking, but the hopes that there may be a calf coming from him makes it easier. So thank you again for your kind act and wise knowledge. God bless you and your family and your baby boy.

    A big "kuddos" to all the farmers and ranchers who go out in the fridgid weather to look after their animals. And thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who don't understand the workings of ranching and what the animals need, and how they survive. My dad grew up on a homestead in Wyoming and he has shared, through the years, his knowledge of raising and taking care of animals. You can hear how cold it is, from the crunch of the snow. Wishing your little family a Merry Christmas. Stay safe and warm.💖

    @allanschultz4984 Рік тому +1

    Just like to make a comment on your operation and peoples concern about the cattle during extremely cold weather. I had a 200 head purebred Shorthorn cow calf operation in central Alberta Canada. The temps you are seeing there now we had every year and they survived and did very well. I had shelter for them with trees and the most important thing was when it gets cold as it is there now increase feed and up the quality of feed and amount of it. Never lost one animal from cold in 40 years. This in part comes to common sense and experience that you and your father and grandfather have learned over the years and passed down to you and your family. Certainly not easy to watch for many people but it works. Mine always came first before I ate, they ate and were looked after. Looks like a very good operation to me. Good on you !!!

    Those cheeks are too cute... Very good explanation for the cattle, neighbor feeds his hay in the barn but the cows all lay outside even in the cold. Turned my back yard light on and left it on for the cows last night they all moved over into the light and with the wind it was about 20-30 below zero. They could go in the barn but they all laid in the lot chewy their cuds. The horses stood by the barn on the less wind side. It is hard for people that live in heated buildings to understand but the animals want to be outside. The dairy cows stay inside the barn, but they are not bred for the cold, even the dogs are outside most of the night when they have a warm barn to go into. I like my warm home, used to enjoy the cold not so much now. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and stay safe and healthy. Merry Christmas Eve.
