This may be kinda stupid question, but while you're away on vacation and not using the milk 🐮 why separate the calf, is this a good practice so Flossy is use to it or can you store the milk long term?
No this is an excellent question. Many reasons. 1) If we don't milk there's not as much milk being demanded so she slows down. 2) If the calves don't drink it all which can happen in these high milk production breeds, she could get mastitis. 3) We'd like for them to stay in habit. 4) We can make cream when we get back 5) The skim from the cream separating is a primary feed source for our pigs. 6) Arun's family also likes milk.
I think you a fantastic dad. I love that you always tell them how well they do. Instead of telling them they didn't do a good job you show them how to finish. You should be a teacher because you explain things really well. I am praying that your wife's pregnancy and delivery goes smoothly. Sending warm thoughts and hugs for your family this Thanksgiving.
I have deep fried my turkeys for the past 20 years for ourselves and others. This year I didn’t want to spend $35 for 4 gallons of peanut oil to fry a single turkey so I decided to try brining it and then baking it for the 1st time ever. I used 2 gallons of water, 2 cups of salt, 1 cup of sugar, orange peel of 2 oranges, 5 bay leaves, tbsp of black pepper corns, tbsp of dried thyme and a tbsp of dried rosemary. I brought everything up to a boil and simmered it until the orange peels sunk to the bottom. I allowed it to cool completely and put the turkey in it and placed it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. This morning, I took the turkey out of the brine, chopped up some carrots, celery and onion and stuffed the mix in to the turkey. I then drizzled the turkey with olive oil and then rubbed on more thyme, rosemary and Montreal chicken seasoning all over the outside. I don’t think I will ever deep fry a turkey again. It was so moist, tender and flavorful. Everyone raved about it.
As someone who is gluten free (because of celiac disease) it's always coll for me to see you guys making gluten free food with your own farm ingredients. It gives me hope for what I can do in the future.
What a great opportunity you’re giving your children to learn work ethic and satisfaction from a job well done. They know how to work and that will take them far in life. So much better than sitting in front of mind numbing video games.
The last 2 years we had home grown turkey!! My husband got out of the army we bought a place with a few acres, and farming in my blood, I finally get to seriously start to grow our own food!!!!
I trust Arun to be inventive and capable of handling the farm on his own while the Rhodes are on vacation. I think Arun has some tricks or hacks up his sleeve. I believe in you Arun. I don't believe I spelled Arun correctly. Yay! Arun!
JUSTIN TRY ADDING CELERY STALKS , BAY LEAVES ONIONS AND BLACK PEPER CORNS TO THE BRINE. BOIL ON THE STOVE THEN LET IT COOL THEN POUR IT ON THE TURKEY WENT IT IS COOL.
Grew my 1st pumpkin this year!! Getting chickens soon I can’t wait. Thank you Justin and the beautiful one!! Happy thanksgiving to your family from Las Vegas!!
Warm memories of happier days past watching you and your family being a ...family. Just wonderful but brief minutes at your home. God bless each and protect all of you. : )
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your amazing family! I miss the farm life at times, your channel brings back so many good memories for me. So I am thankful for you guys. Tip for your brine next year. Dissolve the salt in boiling water. About 2 cups of salt mixed into about 1 quart of water brought to a boil. Then add some ice cubes to bring the temp back down. We also infuse our brine with different herbs when it is hot. You're right about it being the moistest bird. Also cooks faster. Depending on the size of the bird we use sometimes we need to make more brine to cover it.
We don't live on a homestead, but we too grew some of the Thanksgiving meal we had today. About 90% of what was served that we didn't grow was bought from local famers at the farmers market. The rest was organic from the local specialty grocery store, Central Market. Joy Giles
I did two turkeys two ways one with butter with salt and black pepper on outside of bird and on the other I took softened butter,salt and black pepper on the skin of bird and it was the most juicy favorable of the two. Happy Thanksgiving
Mr. Carnivore! AKA Justin...lol...you gotta try this. I made my turkey this way this year and I will NEVER go back! No brine. No long soak. None of that. Look up Bacon Covered Turkey. Wholly Moley!! I did this to ours this year. Hands down...best turkey we have EVER eaten. There are videos all over the internet on how to do it. I'm even thinking I might try a whole chicken this way just to see. Basically, you wrap the entire turkey in thick bacon strips in kind of a weave way using butter for glue. It was Hickory Smoked bacon. Our Turkey tasted lightly smoked. Oh my word...no spices no nothing. Nothing but bacon and butter and that was IT!! Try it! I'd love to see a burn it up cooking show on this. LOL If anyone should do it...it's you! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
I love that your videos come out the day after your shoot....I always know what the weather will be on our side of NC by the time the videos get to me!
I normally use real pumpkin for my pies, I bake them well enough almost to be dry , then I pick away the dark bits and feed that to my cats , chunk away the flesh into a bowl and let sit for a few hours for the pumpkin to settle. The heavy pumpkin will sink , scoop out the very liquidy stuff for soup ect. Use the tick bits for the pumpkin portions. Happy Thanksgiving Rhodes family.
Hey the only deferents is we had know opptions ur doing the right things with hard work and rewards . Never look back those boys r happy helping the family and learning and even giving the own input great men in the making great job and lillie man what a great little lady in the making great job 😁
As always work, work, work, so nice to see your wonderful family working together, you guys live a life we only dream about it. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving Day. Love your videos!
When I cook turkey in the oven, I cover the upside of the bird with bacon over the breast, the legs. Never have a dry turkey. Fifteen minutes a lb. At 325. The last hour before baking is done I remove the bacon and eat it. The bird goes back in to finish cooking, to brown the skin. Yummy!
Happy Thanksgiving what a Great Dinner Rebakah was fixing. She was doing great. Flossie such is protective of Maple lol. The Crook works great at catching Maple. Things will work out. God Bless and Peace Be With You All

Hey just a suggestion from boy grow up on the farm milk about 40 cows a day just put a rope around her legs not tight she don’t move after Will be much easier for the new guy and is it gonna be much easier to keep the milk clean and you can use it 2 hand milk fast and just let her go
Here's a tip for fixing the stringy pumpkin problem: make sure you are getting heritage seeds or seeds for pie pumpkins because the seeds that are most available are usually for appearance pumpkins that have some seeds but too stringy of flesh for pie or pastry making.
Hey yoy know put borad and chin on pull standching it help keep cows moveing around so much milking like be for you guys Rost bags justin never have another dry trueky and stuff put bag little freez it come out great every time we had pumkin ilI buy fresh and cook my selfs they some bake it was so great
Because the calf gets mama after the stanchion so she can have mamas milk all day. We separate her in the afternoon so the milk will build up overnight so we can harvest the milk in the morning for ourselves.

I'm quitting my Job to start farming. Thank you for the inspiration. Wish me luck
You can do it! You'll enjoy a video I'm putting up about others who have done just that. Coming soon :) Good for you.
I think you a fantastic dad. I love that you always tell them how well they do. Instead of telling them they didn't do a good job you show them how to finish.

Thank you so much!
Your kids work hard, use their imaginations, come up with good ideas, see and know the chores that need doing ... BRAVO!
The last 2 years we had home grown turkey!! My husband got out of the army we bought a place with a few acres, and farming in my blood, I finally get to seriously start to grow our own food!!!!
Hopefully you all had a blessed Thanksgiving. Mine was alone and kinda sad but just knowing Jesus loves us made it better...love to you all.
Flosie must think you are crazy! You wanted so bad for her to want the calf-now you want her to not want her all the time! LOL 🤪😜
I trust Arun to be inventive and capable of handling the farm on his own while the Rhodes are on vacation. I think Arun has some tricks or hacks up his sleeve. I believe in you Arun. I don't believe I spelled Arun correctly. Yay! Arun!
your kids have the best life. They are learning from living.

Hopefully the farm sitter might one day start his own homestead. Enjoy the vacation.

Depending on the size of the bird we use sometimes we need to make more brine to cover it.
The salt will dissolve quicker in boiling water, let it cool to room temp before putting bird in it. Happy thanksgiving Rhode Family and Friends!

I do the same salt to water ratio for my Turkey. But I also add pepper corns, crushed garlic and assorted herbs
Maybe Arun will be happy to finish the pies...

This year, for us, we found that the copious amounts of butter did the trick to making a nice moist bird. No more dry turkey for us!

Your water will only dissolve a certain amount of salt before it becomes a saturated solution. More water or less salt.
Happy thanksgiving Rhodes family god bless enjoy it
Looks yummy!!!!!! happy Thanksgiving Rhodes family!!!
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.❤
@15:55 Dissolved*, the salt is dissolved in the water and the water absorbs the salt.

Happy Thanksgivin
Same to you!

That's the red sand in your salt so it will not dissolve. Just pour it through a strainer.
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🦃. ✌❤💪👨🍳🎅🚌👍
We did some hard working too and we are builing are milk parler
did you plant the egg in the soil to grow the turkey? hehe
Happy Thanksgiving!! 🦃 May your family be blessed....always.

Any tips on raising turkeys

It was 82 degrees at ______ beach today.
Hey yoy know put borad and chin on pull standching it help keep cows moveing around so much milking like be for you guys
Rost bags justin never have another dry trueky and stuff put bag little freez it come out great every time we had pumkin ilI buy fresh and cook my selfs they some bake it was so great
Sweet❣️ Thank you💗
Awesome 👏 👍😀
I get a bad feeling every time you attempt to hook the calf with the crook. Please be very careful.
Could you put ain't Flossy in like you were going to milk her again then move Mabel?
That's a possibility, but we'd have to use alfalfa and everyone goes nuts for it.
Where you going on vacation
“No more DryThanksgiving turkey”
That’s a good title for that recipe in your future book.
Why don't you catch and remove the calf while Flossy is in the stanchion? Put a collar around the calf? You will need to tame the calf anyways.
Because the calf gets mama after the stanchion so she can have mamas milk all day. We separate her in the afternoon so the milk will build up overnight so we can harvest the milk in the morning for ourselves.
Your late to brining. We have been brining our birds for at least 10 yrs. makes them very juicy
No entendí un poroto pero se ve muy rico😅
