Never stop showing the reality of farming. People do need to see these things and know where their food comes from.
As you have said before, They really only have 1 bad day compared to the "factory" farms.
Or as compared to animals in the wild that are torn apart by predators, get hit by cars, starve to death, etc. These farm animals have a good life in the sun, for the most part. And we all have at least one bad day when we leave this existence.
The feed lots disgust me the most. When a cow relies on antibiotic shots to stay alive, you know that something is not right. I live somewhat down wind from a couple of feed lots. When the wind blows over them and they are mucking corrals it becomes very obvious what isn't right.
I agree.
Thanks for showing the actual activities of farming in a rural setting. And, for not allowing a minority of critics to impact or cause you to remove integral components of farming from the "majority" of your viewers!
Well said! I applaud your opinion.
Don't apologize for raising clean organic animals to feed people. There are far to few of you out there! You are very kind to your animals and they have a good life. ❤
@@brez85 Then don't eat them?
Why are veiwing a livestock farm channel?
@@brez85 I think you should buy meat from the store . You clearly have no idea . Or raise your own
Have a good day
@@brez85 are u ok bud? Need someone to talk to? Learn to control your anger in artistic ways, or are you already a little artistic? 🤣
Good job how you load them up you need to work with the game work
As a kid from delaware with 3 antique tractors and cowboy boots I wish this channel had more subscribers it's great
Absolutely so addicting so relaxing and enjoyable
90% of people in my country of Canada eat meat, which is pretty much identical to the U.S. numbers. I can guarantee you most those people are extremely disconnected from where there food comes from. Its good that you show people that it takes hard work to get your food from the farm to the table and learn to appreciate it.
I love your videos, its really very inspiring, never feel like you need to hide the reality of how our food gets harvested.
I was raised 'mixed farming' and got great entertainment from city kids on their first few visits to the farm. An aunt almost had kittens when they came out and I was fast asleep on the back of a 1900lb bull that was grazing. We had about 15 head in the core heard that were 'petting zoo tame'.
The people who don’t want to see the cows go to freezer camp are probably the same ones that think meat is made in styrofoam trays…
Don’t ever hide the unpleasant parts of farming. It shows just how much work it is and how much respect farmers, especially small farmers, deserve.
Never gets old seeing those chickens racing to get out in the morning!
Their chickens , well I guess everyones chickens, act like they are never fed when you let them out.
@@allenferry9632 Not everybody has 300 or so to pile out of a coop makes me chuckle everytime
I agree, the morning rush by the layer hens to get out of the coop is hysterical. I always think someone must be inside the house because it looks like they’re being tossed out. Next favorite is seeing what the piglets are up to in their shrub enclosure- and the way they creep out to see what Pete has for them to eat.
@@Patricia808OGG Yea seeing the brush move and them snorting is funny!
Hillary is getting pretty comfortable with the camera. And we get to see why she makes you so happy! Its so nice to spend 20mins on the farm with you two.
I really appreciate that Pete thank you! We love your channel and have learned a lot from you and Hilary. You showed me it is possible to make a living on small acreage and that has helped me more than you realize! Thanks again!
You and Pete are the 2 cattle farming channels I really follow, so when you did the door thing, and Pete gave you a shout out, it made me smile.
You're welcome Farmer Tyler. I enjoyed watching your channel long before I had my own.
"Don't bicker!" lol i love when you gently scold your animals, Pete. I would say Red is the star of the ranch. What a great life on the farm!
Pete,keep showing the reality of farming,you are so inspiring…
I’m the grandson of a Norfolk farmer’s daughter. As children we used to stay on the family farm at Shotesham. I like your tales of farming especially the piggies.❤
I loves how you don't sugar coat things and show the reality of farming.
I love seeing these little piggies in the bushes...pigs in green fields, that´s how it should always be!:D
Hil looked tired until it started to rain. That gave her a boost!
Thank you for their sacrifice! Important to show all aspects
Good morning Pete!
You have such a great relationship with your animals as a viewer I feel emotional when you take them to the Slaughter house. After all its the life cycle just have to accept it. Im aspiring to be a farmer in a few years and all I can say is thank you for the lessons 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿.
💚 Thank you! Awareness of farm life leads to empathy and understanding!
Love watching those little piggies come sneaking out of the tall grass. They are so very cute.
Love seeing the chickens fly out in the morning, loved hearing the little piggies slurping up the milk..and appreciate seeing how you prepare your animals for, shall we say "harvesting", your making sure they're comfortable going into a trailer AND that is absolutely part of farming and it should be included in your videos :)
I love the way chickens run out of the coop like it is the last day of school.
LOVE all your videos, Pete!!! To invest so much time and creativity in your videos is something MANY of us appreciate a LOT!!! And, thanks for not catering to the few, but showing us ALL the aspects of life on the farm, including your gentle way of calmly getting the animals accustomed to your trailer for the trip to the butcher. Blessings to you and your dear family!!! > ;o)
Thanks Elliot!
Agree @N. Elliot - my wife and I are seriously considering moving from the burbs and getting a small farm to live this life. I need to see all of what that life entails. Thanks Pete! @justafewacresfarm
I'm a seventh generation farmer down in southeastern Louisiana, we have a orange orchard and do a lot of row crop. Always like to see the different kinds of agriculture out there. Really enjoying seeing how different operations are ran, keep up the good work.
I live in new orleans and looking for local farms to support as opposed to grocery. Where are you located?
Always enjoy your videos. Life on the farm, chores and ALL! Thank you for sharing! 🌻🦋
Hello Pete! Oh no…what a naughty raccoon!! We caught a coon in a trap too! She was killing our ducks! She was old and nasty! We rehomed her. Our vet laughed at us and said we were just giving her exercise as she’ll be back!😳 Always enjoy watching your videos! You are such an inspiration! Our fourteen year old daughter is the voice behind our farm UA-cam channel! Blessings to you, Pete! You have such a relaxing, calming way of educating!
Thanks Double G&L! Raccoons can be really nasty. We "rehomed" this one to inside the compost pile.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm LOL! 😂
@@JustaFewAcresFarm 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JustaFewAcresFarm lol that's where I rehome mine too 😂
@@JustaFewAcresFarm I laugh...raccoons are compost here, too! And any other vermin that mess with chickens or garden! Back to the earth.
Pigs in the bushes! That was adorable
I watch loads of farming youtubers being a man that grew up in the city but now lives in the country I appreciate my neighbors more. Also I think It should be recommended viewing for kids to see where food comes from and the amount of hard work that is put into it.
Best part of the day.... the chicken release and the piggies in the field. Just makes my day. Thanks for sharing.
Love the way you interact with your animals!
I know they are your bread and butter! You and Hillary provide them with a good life!
Hey Pete, feed the Coon some Lead from a 22! ....................🤣🤣🤣 The cows know what's coming as steak ! It's been dry here Pete, I hope you get some Rain, look dark over that way.
If some people don't want to watch then go and watch something else. This is farming. Good job Pete.
Pete, I am a new subscriber to your channel. I enjoy your analytical mind and how you treat your animals with such warmth. I am a retired pastor living near Omaha Nebraska. I was raised on a rather large poultry(egg) farm in Maine and always enjoy all things farming.
I love seeing you’ll collecting the eggs.
Thanks for the video as always! And appreciate your "youtube pics" too, going to check them out now :)
I live in Idaho and we are even in a drought. It may not look like it to those driving by but we are. We flood irrigate from the Snake River and they changed our watering schedule this year so we get less water for our portion because the farmers needed the water more. We would rather have green farmers fields and brown lawns then the other way around. I hand water my personal garden from my well in order to keep our side pasture watered from what irrigation we get. We all do what we need to in dry years and teaching about how it works is part of that. We love this channel and all we have learned from it. It's the best part of our week to watch your channel.
I a. A fan of Tyler Farmer Ranch too. In addition to you two, I watch two hard-worker dairy farmers. Eric at 10th Generation Dairy Farm in Pennsylvania, and Adrian at I Farm, You Farm in Ireland. The four of you are my all-times favorites. I love that you all multi generational farms.
Another GREAT video!!! Hope you get some rain 🌧!!!
An acre of land irrigated with an inch of water is 27,156 gallons. A bit more water than a typical back yard swimming pool.
When things got busy with the garden I had to cut back on my UA-cam subscriptions, and since I live in town & can't keep animals I kept the gardening channels and unsubscribed from yours - but I missed your videos, so I'm back. They don't teach me anything about gardening, but they do put a smile on my face. We're in the same fix, rain wise - the last four rains, which come about every ten days, have totaled about 1/4". Temperature wise, I could count the number of days we hit triple digits in the first 50 years of my life on my fingers - and I could count about the same number of days we hit triple digits in the past 13 years. Life could get interesting.
Thanks for having us over.
80% chance of rain! Yeah! 8 hours later... no rain. Happens all the time here. It either goes right above us or below us.
That's us too central PA !!!
Excellent video Pete, thanks for sharing the realities with us all!
Love your channel! I really missed you not uploading Sunday and we so happy to see what you had today! Really love your content as always!
Your farm, your channel ,show how it is, that's what I love about your channel ,you show it like it is good or bad,
I feel your pain of the drought, here in the midwest we've had a little over a half of an inch over 6 weeks, until today. That coupled with over 90 degrees for almost all those days and more than 6 days of 100 to 106 degrees put us in a severe drought condition, but we did get 2" over the last 12 hours. Love your little calves, they are so cute. I already watch Country View Acres, subscribed a few weeks ago, haven't seen Tyler's yet, I'll check his channel out. Once again Pete, thoroughly enjoyed your video, thanks for that, and I hope you and your family have a great day.
I'd rather have a glass abattoir than an obscure one...
Well done Pete!
Good morning Pete! As always love the videos, thanks for always providing valuable information on farming and god bless you and all farmers!
Thank you for your honesty and good candor, it is what it is. not too much for lazy folk and the faint of heart . Absolutely love how you show and teach our future farmers of America.very rewarding.
Thanks for showing all aspects of your farm life. You treat your animals kindly and I'm sure it shows in the quality of the meat.
I watch Tyler now every day. He's a lot like you. Make do with what you've got and do what you can by yourself. It's how farmers survived for millennia, and a lesson for all of us.
Showing the cows going to the butcher is just part of farming and the way you do it is so kind and gentle. Love your channel and the fascination with doors
Love this channel more than I ever thought I would!
I lived in Rhode Island for over twenty years, I had huge gardens and never owned a sprinkler. Moved to Colorado thirty five years ago and ended up giving up gardens, and owned countless sprinklers. We’re in Northern California now and can’t believe the drought.
Keep showing it,people need to know where the food really comes from. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite memories is sitting with my grandmother in her basement cleaning eggs. I loved sitting with my grandmother doing that. We usually didn't talk a lot, but just were with each other. I miss her.
Love the Michigan State shirt. The Air Force shirt is the best. I served 24 yrs in the Air Force. 1965-1989.
I knew you'd have the perfect explanation for why you don't irrigate. Makes perfect sense. I'm glad that you show taking the cattle to butcher. That's transparency and truthfulness of raising animals for a living. Farming. Love the farm and all of your beautiful livestock.
Hi again. Yes the sound of rain on the iron roof is the best
❤❤💯👍keep showing the reality of farming, live the natural smile you have
Glad you got some rain! Thanks for sharing your day!
Just subscribed to the channels you recommended. 😀 I've spent the last 4 years learning as much as I can about homesteading and farming. We hope to be buying property by the end of the year. Thank you, Pete, for all you do!
Better be quick before Bill gates or the CCP gets it.
@@robinstuyvesant7187
Lol, right?!
Pete we have 27 argator's on the farm I work for. We harvest 8,000 acres but we also milk 3,000 head. Alaha and corn are important on this farm. Like you I left a good company job to work on a farm best thing I ever did in my life.
I for one am glad you show the realities of farming. I start to think, oh I would like to and could do that, then that reality of farming/ attachment to the animals, it would too stressful for me personally to want to take that on.
good job giving Tyler a plug he loves how you talk about going thru the door.lol
As someone else on a farm, I enjoy watching smaller farm channels too.
Pete,
I love your videos, you make me laugh, keep up what your doing. You and Hilary are the best.
Glad there’s farmers doing the work of bringing cattle to butcher cause I’m a big meat guy. Don’t think I could do it.
Hey Pete, you could leave a portable radio playing music with the broiler chickens. I remember as a kid when the sweet corn was in season, the coons would wreck all our corn. So we put a radio out there and no more issues. Could get a solar one too...:)
Such a feel good video - people working hard to produce the food we need - thank you!
And the year after you finish installing an irrigation system is the beginning of a decade of average to better precipitation... life of a farmer. :)
Well it took You tube a while but you finally came up as a suggestion and I'm glad - such enjoyable viewing....thanks.
Welcome!
Keep showing the real life activities on the farm good and bad it’s the circle of life “get real people “ It was amazing to see the little piglets coming out of these cubby holes in the woods like it was their hiding spot
Second video and I love Ezra and how she loves when you pour her food.
you have my respect, you load them with so many patience
The clowns are back!!!! Love it!!? You are the only one left on you tube i am willing to give my time too..thanx.
There is something oddly satisfying watching the hens pour out of the house in the morning.
Hi Pete:
We're dry in SE Texas as well. We're draining rice fields, the water would normally go into creeks and bayous, but we're pumping the water to our pastures and hayfields
I hate to say this, but we're praying for a tropical depression ,NO HURRICANES
This is such a cool channel.. even down to trapping the raccoon, started watching this for missy's butchering video and found it soo incredibly educational.
Soo many facets.
I just had to chuckle when you were talking about the lack of rain! Here in North Florida ... the month of July has been like a monsoon season! Almost every day the clouds start forming in the morning ... then it is like the sky is falling! Everything is so green!
Hilary stole your dad joke, Admiral Obvious ! Love your channel, Pete !
My wife and I took a trip out to Oregon to see our daughter back in early June. I was blown away at how much water was being dumped on fields out there. Hundreds of square miles of sprinklers, and it seemed there was an endless supply of water. The Snake River was running at full capacity.
Pete, just want to thank you for your tip on soaking in a brine before cooking pork chops. Have to say both my wife and agreed they were the best pork chops we've ever had. Love your channel.
The piggers are my favorite… the little one with the black snout… ADORABLE!!
Hi Pete, you have a great farm family. The cows moo so much, they are like toddlers running through the yard screaming at each other. You and Hilary are a great couple. You work together and appreciate each other. That's what the world needs more of. Take care and have a great weekend.
I watch FTR all the time! Great content, wonderful family, and hard working man!❤
Back in the day when I was a teenager in western NY we used to hunt and trap raccoons for their fur in the late fall. Lately folks there said raccoon pelts aren't worth anything anymore, so they're not hunted. Now the raccoons are much more numerous and even coming into the small town where I used to live to look for food. Times change. Keep up the good work you two!
Pete, when I lived out in the Midwest I was in awe of all the water pivots out there. But they are mostly crop farmers with corn, soy beans, and sugar beets. Some are hog farmers as well. Some chickens are usual to people living in the rural towns there, much like many who live around here in very northern NY.
Thank you for showing the real operation of life in a farm, do not pay attention to a small amount of viewers who will always critique regardless of the content, I love you r channel.
We had a racoon problem too. Dp traps got 3 of them and got 10 raccoons last week.
Pete, your videos are very interesting and informative don’t let a small percentage of subscribers sway you to change. Where else can we get this kind of entertainment and your bad jokes?
The chickens coming out of the trailer in the morning , remind me of Wal Mart stores on Black Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!
So glad to hear of your promotion. Well earned Pete, well earned!
I am watching this for a second time 5 months later…..great video❗️
Brings peace to my world...thx brother !!
Farmer Tyler Ranch and Country view have been on my watch list for the last year or so. Like you, they are hard working non assuming local minded individuals doing traditional farming and both are handy at fixing their own stuff.
Glad to see them on your reference list. ✔️
Love the releasing of the chickens out of the hen house that is always fun to watch
Funny... I was thinking you haven't shown shutting up the chickens.... then you mention it. LOL
this is what i saw in the 70's and 80's great place you and yours have. may the wind always be at your back's
Thanks for your suggestions for other UA-cam channels.
I just found your channel and really enjoyed watching your videos. I 've learned a lot about how you run your farm, raise your animals, and sell your meat and eggs at the farmer's market.
