    My dad always told us that the reason he had a garden was to have something for the kids to do and stay out of trouble!! It usually worked, by the time it was done, we were too tired for trouble

    I really like the looks of your pigs. You really have a nice crosses. The color, the long and thick bodies and the shorter legs are really nice. They have nice temperament too... I wish more people kept pigs as nicely maintained as you do. Such nice and spacious pens. Can't wait to see all the pretty colors in the piglets.

    we only farrowed pigs once and we used 2" of clean sand. It seemed to work pretty good for us. My Dad always believed in animals giving birth outside whenever he could. My mom never agree. Thanks Pete this was fun.

    It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

I enjoyed watching you and your opinion. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.

    Another Great Sunday Video Pete, I was wondering how Red and the crew were doing, now I know, can't wait for the litters. to see the new piglets, Let's hope Red does not lay on any out of this batch to come. Sad but a fact of raising Pigs. I really like your idea of the heat lamp and partition in the corner to keep them away from Mom when she lays down. And the concrete floors make perfect sense to me. One of the problems with dirt floor is they will rut up a rock that's ten feet down!! ha ha. if it's in there they will find it and bring it to the surface. Thanks for another great video Pete. ECF

My husband now is in his eighty’s and has severe dementia/Alzheimer’s and your mixed farming videos help to keep him engaged and busy for short periods of time several times a day. Thank you for sharing your day via video with us.

    Looks like the sows will be giving you a lot of piglets. Hopefully they are healthy and stay out of mama's way.
    The farm is looking good. I scaled my garden back this year. I took a trip for a few weeks when I normally would be starting cucumbers and such, and our weather has been all over the place, so I didn't really get the gardening bug I guess. I will hopefully have a good amount of tomatoes and just enough cucumbers and peppers.

    Chorus of NOOOO's today! Right as you went out to look at the cows an ad popped up extolling Beyond Meat Jerky... YUKKKK!!! You have to be like the Gambler- "Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" It's a ballet all right and you & Hilarie are the maestros. Our heat index is 108 today, so the guys have agreed not to whine and to wear their big boy pants. (It's good for 'em commented one Mom) We're overseeing about as much garden space as you showed, one day a week, so we have to get after it. Broilers coming in August...

    First, you’re sow looks really nice & I Hope everything goes well with her birthing process and none of the piglets are killed❣️❣️We had a concrete floor in our barn for the versing animals and like you wake up a small amount of bedding on the floor, for the same reason!! Also, we nailed a board up just enough for the little big lights to get under and away from your mother because those cells are big and way a lot and while they don’t mean to lay on the babies it does tend to happen and especially if she still birthing from the first pig to the last pig… She gets uncomfortable & cantankerous!!
    Next, we had a salad it was so big… She was a Hamp (Black with white stripe for those who aren’t familiar),
    & she would be the biggest Sal of all❣️We were just sure she was going to have the most pigs and ask kids would have Bets about how many she would have..The first year she had one very big pig and my dad was very disappointed. Second year same thing; the third year when it happened again…She and her pig we’re loaded up and immediately taken to the Sell Barn as she was breaking Our bank of profits.!!
    Sandi Brock farms has a Ewe Called:
    “ Big Mama”..And there are many pictures of her w/ her SUPER-WIDE LOAD Just before she delivers. She is twice size or more of any of the other sheep. And every time she has
    ONE BIG LAMB!❣️❣️❣️❣️Big Mama is one of Sandi’s favorite Ewes as She is such a sweetheart and always comes up to Sandi and wants to be petted and loved on!! I don’t know what she’ll decide to do this year if it happens again. She is a very good mother that’s for sure.
    You really have a lot of nice animals & I like that you try new things. I find your videos very educational and interesting. And your farm always looks nice not necessarily perfect but it looks like a farm that is taken care of like ours was… Not looking to get an a Magazine but keeping things mowed and put away and parked nicely as much as you could !! I am a big fan of raised flowerbeds and garden beds especially as we get older❣️❣️❣️
    When I grew up on the farm we had well over 4 acres of Garden crops that needed to be taken care of for family and then also an orchard. There were times where we complain because we didn’t want to do the work but we never complain about the wonderful produce that was available to us all year round. It was a lot of fun canning with Mom, and I really love going out to the garden in the evening in the summertime when it had cooled off and listening to the sound of the hall cutting through the black soil and the rhythm of multiple people going at the same time my father had an exceptional strong cut and angle into that garden and for me, that was a great time and he was in the garden with us, And of course Mommy, too.. many years later, they told me they were outside in the garden alone after dinner/supper and told us kids we didn’t have to go which of course we gave them no argument… And the reason they did that was so that they could have quiet time to talk about important business but also to get away from 12 kids and have “GROWN-UP” time💕💕💕💕💕❣️❣️They always hold hands and kiss details are in front of us kids and that was the best gift they could’ve given us is showing their love. We had a wonderful upbringing and I love the farm… I don’t think I got to say it on another video but you were out with the cows and you had to moved them, And you were talking about you just love listening to the sound of the cattle eating the grass. I always enjoy seeing cows on the hillside as I always thought it was such a beautiful scene there a dark color against the green grass!!❣️❣️❣️ but my other favorite thing was when I lived in Kansas, I was going out to my father-in-law‘s Wheatfield I’m just standing along the edge of the wheat fields and listening to the wheae

    Watching your videos gives me so much insight about the world of farming. I would enjoy my time with the animals and, still unsure, if I could do all the work. My mother had her own garden but she grew flowers rather then vegetables and fruit. Weeds are a big problem which is why she had them place in storage containers. Didn't have the weed problem but did have the flowers dry out more quickly. One day I would love to just work at a farm and get the idea of how the work is. I know it's not all animals but working with animals is a pretty big highlight for me.

    Always enjoy your videos Pete. Love seeing the animals and hearing about the plans you have for the farm. Thank you for all you are doing during this stressful time.
