***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out new videos every week! We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

Watson is a perfect name - congrats! This video was so informative and interesting - never seen one like it and really appreciate learning what you shared. THANK YOU from a 78 yo granny that never got to enjoy living on a farm. You all are so blessed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Me too.
@iartistdotme ,
I am 81 yo and just starting my homestead. It's never too late my dear.
@@donaldmiller8629 so happy for you and good luck! How exciting.
Me too❤
Watson is gorgeous. So mild tempered just as you said he would be. Out of all the homestead channels I watch, by far, you two are uber neat and tidy. I love it! ❤
The fact that, for the first part of the video, you are taking it in turns to constantly check behind you to keep an eye on what can be unpredictable large livestock, shows you are good stockpersons.
My grandpa was honored as a golden breeder by the hereford association before he passed away. A hereford man through and through. You can’t beat the hereford breed. Beautiful, well growing and nearly always gentle and predictable personalities.
A kindness to the breeder but also a rememberance of Hudson the lovely little calf that had such promise and passed too soon.
Am I the only one who loves the wonderful movie, *"The Rare Breed",* with Jimmy Stewart & Maureen O'Hara? It isn't a cinematic masterpiece, but it's great story. Honestly, I can't see a Hereford bull without hearing someone whistling, "God Save the Queen" (for "Vindicator").
I loved that movie!
@@susancoulange382 I love how "Bulldog" (Jimmy Stewart) makes Martha's and Hilary's dream his own, as if it meant more than beef breeding practices on the US prairie. I think it is about all the socially Darwinist, eugenic propaganda we have heard so much about all our lives, and how "meat headed" a social Darwinist/eugenicist is. In that vein, I love how it makes fun of the boorish, Scottish rancher, Bowen, the man played by Brisn Keith, as the ranch owner and Jamie's father. He just comes off so gross, dull hearted and foolish, and their dream of _Vindicator_ making it through the winter is the hope of proving him wrong about every foolish, inhumane thing he preaches. When _Vindicator_ is found under the snow, it is really sad. But when Bulldog finds his calf, his genes were "vindicated", after all, proving that he did have the good genetic stuff, but must have the help of being crossed with tougher cattle to make it safely through Texas winters. And there's delicious irony that the creature whose genetics are in question is of British cattle extraction, bred for a surviving in a British, Gulf Stream winter, but where it gets much colder, they need help to survive. All the good, beefy, well-behaved characteristics of the breed, can't make it without the help of the strength of others. The British are among the top three of socially Darwinistic people, historically being just a little superior in their own eyes. Darwin was even an Englishman, as were Malthus, Spenser, Lyell, the Huxleys, and quite a few of the others. They like to think they are the "crown of creation", no less that Germany making themselves the _"ubermenschen",_ the final, evolved form of the Aryans. I'm probably more tempermentally akin to _Vindicator's_ British reserve, but it's deeply satisfying in a way, to see him have to overcome his weaknesses to survive, and great when he survives through his offspring, showing Bowen he was mostly wrong. His arrogant demand that Martha _give up all hope,_ "face reality", and accept him as her only realistic choice (for a husband she wasnt looking for), is just great for her to think better of, and to see her way out of that. I could keep on talking about it, but I will quit rattling on. And, er, "spoiler alert".
Welcome Watson...to your new home...! You will be WELL cared for...! And ABSOLUTELY...what a PERFECT name for him...! God Bless...! Shelly
He’s a beautiful bull. Mighty and majestic! 🪻💚🙃
You guys build the best looking fences. You obviously take pride in making your farm look fresh and tidy.
Oh my, your new bull is massive. I absolutely love how gentle the owner loaded him.
What a beautiful boy, and so calm and patient.
I don’t know why this made me cry my eyes out😭😭😭 so excited for y’all 😭 and Watson is absolutely gorgeous 🩵🩵🩵
Watson is gorgeous!!! Makes me miss those days when my beloved Daddy had a black Angus that he let me name Peppy. I loved that gentle bull...he would come up to the fence so I could scratch and hug his big ole handsome head. I was never afraid of him and I loved him so much! Thank yall for bringing back such wonderful memories for me!!❤❤❤❤❤
Y'all always do things so wisely ❤❤ thinking things out , sufficient and humane 😊 I admire you both
Awe, he looked so scared to get in the trailer. If only he could watch your channel and see how kind you guys are.
Oh my heart he is beautiful!!! Congratulations on your new bull.
I was very impressed with Eddie Watson, the seller. He let the bull sniff out the strange trailer and take his time getting into the trailer. I dislike seeing animals forced into strange situations about which they know nothing. And am impressed even more hearing Eddie's concern that he sells you the right bull and provide you with as much info as possible!
I noticed when the bull backed up he pulled the gate back to give him room and then the bull went right in.
They don't like to be pushed.
We always put fresh nice hay in our trailer before we loaded cows, it seemed to make it easier to load them. It also helps if its not the first trailer ride of their lives. Our calves went to the vet for their vaxes as we had a vet with a great set up that would have us come on a day he had others coming that day so we didn't pay for more shots than we got.
Perfect name for him. He will make beautiful babies.
Now your next bull will have to be named Holmes! Thanks, y'all, good video.
His first calf, if Babes offspring should be Holmes!
I love that you have honored the breeder by giving Watson his name! I so enjoyed this video. And yes! He’s one handsome boy!!
What a great idea to honor the breeder and name him Watson! Y’all are good and thoughtful stewards for all of your animals!
GOOD LOOKIN’ BULL! ❤WATSON❤
He's BEAUTIFUL! So sweet! God bless you, your family, your critters and your homestead.
I've tried to say this previously, but watching your videos makes me feel like I live just across the road from you.
Having grown up on a registered Jersey (REALLY top-notch, award-winning cattle) farm here in Northeast Mississippi, I have special feelings when I watch y'all dealing with your herd. Best wishes for unbridled success as y'all show us how the blending of Godly lives and harmonious marriage can provide almost everything any of us can enjoy. Thanks for your perpetual inspiration and encouragement.
He's beautiful, and Watson is a great name. I catch myself smiling when I watch your channel. Thanks for making me feel like a part of family. God bless you both.
I never thought I would look at a bull and marvel at how beautiful they are but Watson is certainly extraordinary.
Watson is very posh looking! Congrats, he looks magnificent. 😀
Watson is a handsome bull. May he be successful in every way on your homestead!
What A Magnificent And Majestic Animal!
Watson is a beautiful Bull! Congratulations Kevin and Sarah on your new member of the herd.
Welcome to your new home Watson, you will be well taken care of by your new owners and you will probably enjoy your chores around there.
Thanks Kevin and Sarah for sharing with us, Watson is a great looking Bull. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you share with us. Fred.
Watson looks a great boy, I can tell his a gentle giant. Great job guys
Well I am glad you have Polled Herefords. I showed them for about 10 years. Won a lot of first and grand champions. I do miss the cattle today. I’m 76 years old. Let me tell you polled Herefords are a great breed. Good luck and God Bless you.
Very alert and already is checking out Babe. He seems to have managed the stress of newness very well. Handsome bull, I'm sure he will make some handsome progeny too! It's going to be interesting to watch his introduction to the herd.
His name suits him 😊He is a handsome fellow
Watson seems to like his new home and family. He's gorgeous!
I'm so glad you named him Watson because the whole time I was thinking you should name him after the legend, Watson. Great video, as always!!!!!
He’s a good looking bull, and caught my eye right away. He seems intelligent and alert but still not crazy.
Wow what a beautiful bull. Perfect name for him. That was amazing to watch. Thank you for taking us along.❤
He is a beautiful animal , I hope he is a great breeder for you and holds up his end of the bargain ! I guessed Watson right before you said that's what you named him ! Thank You for your channel , GOD BLESS !!!
Love the name and what an honor for him to carry on the home from where he came. He looks sturdy and healthy for sure. Now I am excited to see the babies he puts out. Congratulation to you both and how exciting for the farm..........love it!
Loving also the above ground beds........those are awesome!
Blessings.
That is one handsome & confident bull.
Very nice looking bull. A wonderful name Warson, very respectful to hulus former owner and home.
Good morning. Welcome Watson! I remember being a small child and my family having a bull like that! His name was Tony. Of course, being a small child, Tony used to scare the heck out of me! He used to be penned up in the open corral beside the barn and ram his butt against the gate to try and get out! My sister who was a few years older than myself and I would be on the farm by ourselves while all of the rest of the family, 12 in total were out in the sugar beet field. We used to run and hide in the tiny house. He never did get out or hurt us but seeing Watson reminded me of a time, besides the antics Tony used to get up to, of a super happy time for me! Thank you so much for sharing!
What a beautiful bull! Love his name and its meaning. He will be so happy ❤
He’s handsome & nice straight top line. Sounds like Mr. Watson helped you pick a bull that will throw smaller calves for your heifers 👍 Congratulations 👏🥳🤎
I certainly enjoyed your Homestead, what a beautiful, sweet wife you have. I think you are a great couple to be running a great Homestead. You both seem to enjoy it immensely and that’s no Bull! Ha
My grandpa raised registered polled herefords. He kept records of the breeding. Changed out his bulls every two years. Your cattle are beautiful. The herefords and limousines are so nice. They are gentle according to my dad.
I appreciate how well you care for your animals. Watson is an awesome name!
He's beautiful!!!❤❤❤
Oh my, what a beautiful, massive bull! He is most impressive! Welcome Watson! 🐮
You've chosen and handsome bull,he moves free and easy too which is a top priority. Good choice.
I just love y'all! We are still looking for our homestead, and I've been watching y'all for a few years. Every video teaches me something new. God Bless!
That is a beautiful animal --can't wait to see what his calves look like.
I love that you named him after the rancher! Watson has a kind look to his face. He's a beauty!

Hello, actually, I have been missing you guys. I lost the channel somehow and I’m glad I found you. Your homesteading and your personalities are just so fresh and clean and funny sometimes that’s OK. So I really have missed your show but I’m back and I’ll stay here. I won’t let you get lost again. Thank you, Linda. PS I’m really excited about seeing your new bull for the farm. And the calf is adorable. 😊 Gorgeous-he will be making some beautiful babies.
OH, I WISH WE COULD HAVE MET EDDIE WATSON! BUT I'M SURE HE DIDN'T NEED ANY MORE PUBLICITY! I've been watching your vids since moving from AZ. I just would have loved to buy your AZ Homestead! Many prayers 🙏🏻 and God bless you both. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
What a great adventure! He seems so calm just like you were told. Great name choice too! Congrats on bringing Watson home.

Watson is one healthy, handsome bull. Love his face😊, and temperment. Great name to use (after the farmer). It's always nice to find a farmer who has an amazing background, and excellent references in bull raising.
Well you guys he’s a BIG BOY … He looks Amazing 👍💪🏻✌️❤️☮️
Kevin & Sarah, congratulations to you both with the latest addition to the homestead. Will be nice to see how Watson interacts with your herd.
My favorite cows, so pretty and gentle.
When I saw the sign on the way to the farm, I thought that Watson would be a great name for the newcomer. He's a big teddy bear. I'm sure he'll be very happy on the homestead. 😊 from Toronto
Oh gosh that gorgeous bull was like a kitten, snuggling his hay stack, and it made me comforted that he is happy at least to see his food. I see his wondering eyes getting acclimated to his new area. Name him Kitten.❤ Just watched to the end and you named him Watson!❤ Perfect! BUT HE WILL BE WATSON KITTIE in my eyes!❤❤😂
Hi Kevin and Sarah. I must admit I was missing Tex but Watson is one handsome bull. He has big shoes to fill and I think he will do splendidly! Loved how Ralphie was saying "hi" to Watson!
Ralph is was pleased to see another male on the property. Sheesh, he is surrounded by females all the time. He has someone to look up to!😊
Congrats! Watson is magnificent! You chose well, temperament is everything. ❤
Congratulations and blessings
He is one handsome young man❤🐃
Aww congratulations! Watson looks like he'll be quite the sweetheart once he gets settled in 😊 God bless from Texas 🙏🏻❤
Great that you got to meet Mr. Watson & have named the bull Watson. Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
Watson is one handsome bull! Nice honor for Mr Eddie Watson.
My Grandfather raised registered polled Herefords. I Love Them! But mostly I Love the Memories associated with them. I Miss You, Grandpa Pitchford. You were, and still Are, my Hero 🙏💕🙏
I bet he was a great guy! We can all learn so much from previous generations. - Kevin
