Growing up on a farm I learned you can never have enough barn cats for mice. Nice of you to take them in
You gotta be lovin' the freedom and independence of full-time farming, Evan.
What a sweet mama and cutest kittens!!! 💕❤️
love farm cats
Rebekah didn't have enough critters to pet on, right?
That's a busy day's work! Glad to see there's so much good going on out at the farm!
Got a lot done, from feeding the animals to cleaning the pens to watering the garden and more makes for a busy day. Thanks for sharing, have a good evening!
How sweet of you guys to give a home to the extra cate, Youu always have a busy day. Thanks for taking us along. Great video.
Good idea about storing the feed. It's easier keep in the sealed barrels. The cats look very relaxed. Everything about your farn is relaxed. Thanks Evan.
Nice summer day on the farm. The kitties are rescued and given a much needed home. Cats will sleep through the day and hunt mice at night and the barn will have no more mice from this day forward.
So cool that you get to do this full-time living a dream
A great day of accomplishments.
Thanks Evan and Rebekah for taking in mama cat and her kittens
Love watching❤.
Lovely video as always. Thank you. Love the barn kitties. ❤️🙏

Thanks for posting Evan
Love seeing the cats!!
Thanks for sharing Evan👍🏻
Thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
with as much feed as you have around you will NOT be sad to have several cats, as a kid we had a black moma cat that was the best mouser i have ever seen , we had lots of square bales at the time once i saw her have one mouse in her mouth, one under each front paw (one only had 2 toes as dad hit her with the mower in the pasture once) and she was staring at the mice running away like DANG!!! actually put a couple of fence posts to keep your intake bucket upright and let it float and you wont get as much gunk in the filter
Hi.... Evan thanks you for showing your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Pretty kittens and mama!
In the family farm, we never fed cats or let them inside. Their food was mice in the barn and in they couldn’t stay warm enough, they froze and were buried when the ground warmed.
Thanks Evan, you got a mention on FTR about the water pipe breaking incident.
Thank you Rebekka for saving the mama cat and kittens.
Great day! Thanks for taking us along!
Evan enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing your farm life with us. Have a great rest of your week.
My Wife says she really loves your house and especially the porch !
Yes sometimes we need to stop working and sit back and enjoy what’s important 😊
You should know that you have been putting out some great videos sense you retired from your regular job. Not that they werent great before but i can tell you are enjoying it much more. Keep up the great content. See you in the next video.. lol
Congratulations on pacing yourself 👍👍👍
Pretty calico momma kitty! We have 2 calicos & 4 tortoise shell barn cats plus a few orange tabbys. We have 3 barns and a shop so we need a lot of kitties. In FL we get roof rats. These kitties help a lot so we spoil them.
Loved the vid. Please show us more animale care :)
That is a gorgeous mama cat!
What a worker you are. Good luck with everything.
Definitely DO NOT forget “together” time. It is the most important part of the day. Sounds corny as h- but it is true.
Thanks for sharing this great video mate and like I always say all the best to you and your family and your friends.
Your work plan for the day worked out well. It a good idea to have stopping time.all the best from Scotland 🏴
Excellent vid.. sir.. Glad your allocating time with your better half.. Its very important. Your funnel issue just use the top of a plastic bottle and use the other bit for plants in the garden.. recycling out of the box 😂.. stay safe 🏴
At the Farm wee had long water tantk that wee put are feed in and cover with tin or old freezer .it was good .
They are lovely cats
Good video. Thanks 😎
Aweee sweet little kittys
Looking good
I love using raw chicken manure in our garden, it does better than any store-bought fertilizer. The only time you will ever have problems with it is if it’s in direct contact with the plant, otherwise it doesn’t matter where you put it outside it won’t harm your plants. You can run it straight down the middle of the row and it will still make it to the roots. Great video!
Perhaps you may want to consider a product called seam seal. It comes in a caulk gun. Available at the farm and feed store. That will seal up your grain storage bin with no problem
Everything is looking so good!
Glad to see you are wearing a mask this time when shoveling the chicken straw bedding.
Im wondering if there is somewhere in your community where they have food scraps or barley or other types of food scraps that you can use towards feeding your pigs. I'm sure there is other neighbors or nearby folks that also have fruit trees that are overloaded I need somewhere to take the extra fruit extra fruit. That would help with decreasing the cost of feeding your pigs. And maybe some of the food scraps could go to the other animals
Great Video. I love watching the progress, continued Success !
Good evening guys!
Hello Evan thanks for the entertainment. Have a great day.
Looks like rain chance every day next week. Have you stirred the compost pile lately? To assist with the feed box in the barn, incorporate a pulley.
Here’s a suggestion for your feed carts. Make a dome roof with electrical conduit and sheet metal ends. Bolt on a treated wood ledge with holes for the conduit ends Doors on the ends for the auger. Seal up the joints with silicone
Howdy young man and little miss
You got a shout out from farmer Tyler ranch! albeit how to avoid a water line😂
I really had to laugh at that callout. I backed it up and showed it to my wife.
Great day Evan, lots done and still something to do tomorrow. Always busy with something and Rebecca knows where you'll be ALL DAY. LOL . Really glad you are enjoying your unscheduled work schedule around the weather. You're doing a great job. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you two have around there. Fred.
Good music to go with a good video. I planted tomatoes in a greenhouse the same time as you planted yours outdoors. All mine are still green. That’s sunny Scotland for you. 😂 🏴
Could you not drag a net over the pond a fews times and then feed the duckweed to the pigs?
Thanhk you. I love video
You need one of those small Cabins? See yall later!
You're getting more and more side projects done. Has to be a load off your mind. This winter will you bring a feed wagon into the garage and weld seams, etc. ? Might be a fun video. 👍👍👍
Love the new kitties
When we moved to Florida we lived in a retirement place and with the ponds all around I started pumping water to use on the yard and plants. I did that until we couldn't stand to live there anymore. We were too use to living in the country. So we bought another house and the house was many times bigger but it had no pool. So we had the perfect place for one and had it put in. We'll it was always a pain to keep the water correct but it was a salt pool and didn't need chlorine and the pool guy I ended up firing him because I didn't know he didn't ever clean the salt cell. It is a little costly. So we had a chance to move to Missouri and the prices of housing was crazy, we sold it for over double of what we paid. Back to all the different seasons again, love it. The people here are so much nicer than Florida.
Evan. Please turn your boat upside down. You killing me.
Good call on quitting time for family time
Another productive day on the farm. Great job, Evan! Does Rebeka still go out to coddle the critters even though they are fed before she gets home?
Great videos! Keep up your good work!!
When are you going to start a trenching project to handle the water that comes thru the barn and gives you all the trouble in the barnyard area?
Try peat moss for chicken coop bedding. That is what I use.. lasts much longer than straw and wood chips and it great for the garden after it gathers the poop.
Good one, lots going on👍
do you feed your chickens duckweed? excellent supplemental food. high in protein and nutrients. your duckweed is a blessing, not a curse. free feed.
Evan where are the dogs? I watch all your videos and I haven't seen them in any lately.
According to my notes,there is a funnel on the second shift in the shop!😄
I have a question please. Is there a video that includes you making that feed box? Thanks and enjoy watching the videos.
Careful with chicken manure it ca BURN A GARDEN UP! I once watched my neighbor used too much chicken manure in his garden and burned it up. He couldn't anything there for 2-yrs
A good day!
Now that was a great day on the Farm no real screw up s LOL
Yes, it is time to stop working and go eat supper , I have been with you as long as you have been on your farm . I know what a worker you are. You never want to quit, so now you can have supper with your wife and rest. God bless you both. ❤❤
Love your farm
Tour of the house ..like living room kitchen . dinning room main floor
From experience i have noticed that the smaller the bird the stronger fertilizer is their droppings.
Great job
Even, your best bet now your home all day is to design a boat with an engine at the back to pull you forward thus then you can make a paddle across the front to pick up all the duckweed ,( ideal to put on composter ) that’s what the compost pile needs to ferment and brakedown ,as at the moment it’s to dry , if you make the boat open fronted ,as you then can drive into all that duckweed ,
Absolutely! Solar panels on the roof making electricity, duckweed on the pond making fertiliser. A big boom to bring it in perhaps and scoop it out.
Have you ever considered putting down a little lime on the concrete floors to change the PH after cleaning to kill off pathogens that could affect new young critters while their immune systems are growing? Just a dusting can really help if allowed to dry.
Those chickens love that barn! But they are clever enough not to get under the tractor's wheels. Haven't seen the dogs for a long time!
Look for a poly feed bin with screw on lid they work great!!! They hold about 2 ton
I believe I have watched all you clips but I my have missed it. Have not seen your 2 dogs running around in the background. Hope everything is okay
Yep, i second the “wait, compost the chicken manure first” sentiments. It’s too hot right now. You may have to get one of those carport things to store your feed wagons under
Well, guess i am too late.
Thanks Evan!
Mama Cat sure seems to like being on camera!
Here I am, watching a cat video on UA-cam. Seriously, good video.
When are you going to build that bridge across your pond I’ve been waiting to watch you do that
Those are some Beautiful Tomatoes
Thanks 😊
Gotta be careful when using chicken poop as fertilizer as it can burn up a garden. My folks put some around their green beans went to harvest some tomatoes the next day and the green beans were fried. Moderation is the key.
Evan do you not have a wheelbarrow heave it in there then dump in the bucket’Only one shovel job
Is it possible to take the containers to the mill and have them filled? Maybe put them on a pallet and lift them on/off the truck or trailer?
I hope the new chicks are safe from that many cats. Make sure there is no hole for a cat to squeeze into them.
What happened to the back of the shop where you made a place for the dogs?
Thx
Would it be easier to put wheels on the back of the chicken tractor?
Have I missed something? I haven't seen your dogs in quite a while?
Another great video brother 🤙 I’ve been meaning to ask how your transition is going so far from not having to do the 9-5 anymore ?
