Do not apologize! My grandfather raised cattle for a living. People are ignorant when it comes to their food. You are responsible farmers. You are self sustaining & it is a fact of life. You are wonderful people. I love seeing Bree! Don't pay attention to all the negative people on here! God bless. ❤❤🙏🙏
I agree with you love to see Bree any time you can show us.when you have farm animals you are taught from childhood taking care of them comes first every day of the year. No matter what else you want to do you are great teachers about caring for your animals and farming. Thank you for showing us your life style
I don't feel pleasure about knowing an animal will die, but it is the way of life. I have no doubt how much you care for all your animals! BTW, Brenda, you look beautiful in that shade of pink! 😊
To Brenda and Jim I have a sign over my front door that I go out of every morning to do chores that says, "On the 8th day God looked down on his paradise and decided He needed a caretaker, so He made a farmer." So, my philosophy is, if you have never had a heifer that's a first time mom, that doesn't know what to do and you spend days taking care of her calf for her, trying to get the mom to stand still to feed her new baby, feeding with a bottle if it doesn't happen. Doing this no matter the weather, no matter how frustrating because this baby won't suck on the nipple, is weak and can't stand by itself, etc. Your whole heart rejoices when a couple weeks later, that same calf and mom have figured it out, that calf is running around the pasture playing with all the other calves. Then fast forward 2 years, that same calf that you nurtured and cared for is loaded up and taken to butcher to provide for your family. You watch with a heavy heart as it is unloaded and put in the holding pen at the butcher. The ride home from the butcher you are so overwhelmed with emotions that you start crying, tears streaming down your face, because you know what happens next at the butcher. So, from one farmer to another, you just know... God Bless
My favorite bumper sticker when I was a young man on the farm was, “Don’t complain about farmers with your mouth full!” I love the idea of ending most videos with a Bre update. Thanks for sharing!
After the great flood God said, “Every creature that lives shall be yours to eat; as with the green grasses, I give you all these” (Gen. 9:3). I know Jim and Brenda personally and they take great care of their animals. I myself do not live on a farm, but I have had friends and relatives that have farms and they raise animals to survive. I like Brenda comment on the circle of life for even plants. Plants at some time have to "die" for humans to eat or for animals to eat them as well. Bree is so cute running around the pasture.
I think most of us can tell that you are good and wholesome people. You should not apologize for your way of life!! It's what keeps me watching your videos.
It's obvious that you take great care of all of your animals! People that have never been around farming can't understand what it takes to do the things that have to be done. No apologies necessary, you treat all of your animals humanely!
Brenda, a very good answer to the bleeding hearts out there. Farmers are realistic thinking people. Your farm is beautiful and well kept. Seeing the horses work is a privilage. It was very interesting to see the log fall off and see the horses not move.
What a great clip when Baron and Bill burst out of the woods into the sunshine. I grew up on a farm, learned that life and death was a package. It was sometimes hard when a favored cow was sick beyond help and had to be slaughtered. Those who know the circle of life accept what has to be.
My Dad was a farmer for many years of his life, raised a family of 14 on a small 160 acre farm. He with help always butchered what ever was required with help from us kids and neighbors. He also helped many others to butcher as at that time we were able to butcher on farm. When he was winding down farming in his later years he could not complete the task as he was too attached to many of the animals. He had to ask neighbors to complete the final butchering for him. He went away off the farm while the final 3 beef where slaughtered. We do care but something's just have to be done for survival.
Jim and Brenda…NEVER apologize for your life, ever. I am so appreciative of farmers and ranchers because without that profession none of us survive! I remember a saying that I read some time back which I have clung to with all the upside down things going on today and that saying is “Just because you are offended doesn’t mean you are right”. I will NEVER be a vegetarian but I have no problem if others choose to be. Beef, pork, chicken, fish…all have a purpose in our diets. I’m a type 2 diabetic so my life style is far different than most folks but I’m ok with what I have to adjust and adapt to but I’m not going to let outside opinions control my life. I sob over the loss of our kitties when they expire but it’s still a fact of life. I still shed a tear for Buck but it is part of your farm life. Life and death are intertwined and how we adapt dictates how well we handle life’s issues. That cow had a very good life up to that one last day when you had to make a determination on what the best end for her would be. You two are such a good stewards to all God has blessed you with so never ever apologize for the decisions you make. I love your channel, truly enjoy all the animals and I haven’t once thought your content unbearable to watch. So please keep sharing all you feel comfortable sharing and I’ll appreciate being enlightened and entertained. Happy Pizza dinner you two!!!:):):)
I would love seeing Bree growing every day. It makes my heart sing to see people taking care of their animals. God put us here to take care of all he provides for us even the food cows,pig chickens etc. He just asks us to be thankful. God Bless.
PS I love that extra bounce and tail swish that Baron has. Even after hauling all those loads! He is really getting his head into the working life. Bree of course is adorable!
Love little or growing Bree! And that little whinny!!🥰 Lady didn’t hesitate to go to her baby. Need to breed her again. then u will have ur teams as they all age. Thank you 😊😊Such an AWESOME mama!!💕💕
Loved your response to the negative comments about your cow. Raising cattle or other livestock for food is part of farm life. It is obvious that you provide the best care possible to all your animals and the love comes through.
I want to say that it is sooooooo obvious that Jim and Brenda are very caring and fond of all their animals. When your "Heart Is Pure" there is nothing to be concerned about.
Watching how you both react with your land, plants, animals and each other shows just how much you care and life means. Farming is a tough life that is all about life. Thank you for presenting it all as you do.
Good morning! Thank you for the lovely drive through the woods. I think your idea of ending your videos with Bree updates/clips is just right. Looking forward to watching her grow! (PS "Thou Shalt Not Knock Down Standing Hay", I love it! I can just hear my Daddy chuckling with approval as you say it...Lord rest him)
Everything is so beautiful to look at , but I must say that little Bree is so heart warming to look at. Brenda you must be in great shape with all the miles you walk to make those wonderful videos, and of course to see Jim with his God given talents with horses is such a gift to watch every day. May God bless all of you (and your two dawthers)
Jim and Brenda all animals should so lucky to live on your farm. You treat your animals with love, compassion and great care. Ignore the dipsh*$s that don't really know how to raise livestock. Keep up the good work. You are great Stewarts of the land and your livestock. God Bless you and your family.
I love seeing all those kittens. They are good luck & will keep your territory safe of pest and unwanted critters. I love seeing all the progress Baron is doing. Stepping backwards, standing still & hauling heavy loads. He seems to really get it. Even if he’s a bit naughty. I absolutely love the Bree update. She’s such a joy to watch 😊 Thank you for sharing 🎉
Yes Candy Phillips, they have their farm and if it offends you " DONT WATCH" go outside and harrass your neighbors. Jim & Brenda please keep on farmin. Thank you for the beef, chickens and corn I LOVE to eat!! AMEN.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Bree is getting quite tall and seems so much tamer as seen with both Brenda and Jim in this video !! She sure seems pretty fast as we see her galloping !! Still so cute.
manure is life,,,loved all of this mix... it's refreshing to see Bree running...kittens are always wanted come summer,,kids need a pal... love you guys.. s/ c
Brenda, you gave great answer to the viewers about life on the farm. You and Jim are great farmers you guys know what to do , and when to do it. Butchering animals is sometimes part of being on a farm. You guys have a beautiful farm, and i love going into the woods, and fields with you both, I love seeing all the horses, and the beautiful Bree. Jim, Nova Scotia Canada.
I am so pleased to watch Bree and Lady learn everyday keep showing them, they are a big part of your life and thr farm . Thank you for sharing your world.
So sweet how Bree is already attached to you and Jim and Lady is so tolerant. She is going to be a great horse. Love Lady talking to Bree. It’s interesting that Barron still goes after the boys since they are gelded.
Farmers in general, I believe, have a greater respect for life. Having grown up on a dairy farm, I experienced over and over the circle of life. The joy of birth and the sadness of death. When we were taking a cow to the butcher, it was a quiet and somewhat somber time. We didn’t talk about it very much as we all knew what was happening. It was a quiet time to do some reflecting. I had six sisters and one brother and we all got to name the new calves. We were encouraged to get attached to every animal on the farm even though we knew we would outlive all of them. We always had a cow named after one of my sisters. Here is an example of learning the cycle of life on the farm. My dad always had a good beagle for rabbit hunting. Every year he would have her bred and have a batch of puppies to sell. We all got very attached to the puppies and when someone came to buy one we all hoped they wouldn’t and when they did, it seems like all of us would cry. I remember my mother telling my father that maybe we should not have more puppies as all the kids do is cry when they are sold. I remember clearly one of my sisters, who couldn’t of been four or five years old at the time, saying, “ oh no, we love having puppies, we are just sad when they have to go to a new home”.
I love what you said about our food. I don't think people really understand your cattle aren't pets! I love watching Bree! She sure has a beautiful trot! I love to listen to her talk!
My little sister.(we are both over 60). Said to tell you she's very impressed with how Baron is progressing. I am also. We had horses and pony when we were younger. And come from a long line of horse lovers. We both loved the look on Jim's face as he approached Bree. We thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to watching her grow.
Thank you, guys. That was fun. Brie is a doll. I'm so glad for Lady and for you guys that she came into this world with no issues. She is truly a blessing.
We gave thanks to God for the sacrifice of our beef to feed us and thanked him for the blessing that healthily and humanly raised beef brought to our family. Each meal we had was a celebration of that life as we enjoyed it.
When I was a kid we had a little bull born in the afternoon when we were home from school and all of us kids were there to welcome him into this new world, so we all imprinted on him from his first moments. Throughout his life whenever we would walk over to the fence little bull would come over to say hi. Because we had no need for another bull, little bull was destined for food and when his time came my dad brought home all of the meat and put it into the freezer, but none of us kids had any interest in eating it, and my dad finally had to load up all of the frozen meat and take it back to the butcher to trade for meat from other animals so that we would eat it.
I never read the comments but I don't know how anyone could say that about you guys. Brenda your kindness and love you show to all your animals is awesome.! Jim and Bree is awesome together! I'm sorry that someone said negative things about you guys. Thanks for your great videos!
Thanks for the great videos and there's no need to apologise for either the content of the daily life on the farm, as my farmer neighbour states that the one guarantee of livestock is that you'll have dead stock. Your animals and livestock are having a pretty awesome life compared to a lot of commercial livestock, they're not pets! No apologies required for the state of your barn either, I'm pretty sure you're both working from dawn until dusk at the moment. Hopefully you have some moments pleasure during the day, like enjoying your time with Lady & Bree. You're right Brenda, I'm not sure who's not enjoying that, but we're all different. All the best. Regards, Ian
Hi guys. Don’t fret about things people say about what you eat. Everyone loves a good sausage,but they don’t want to see how it’s made. Sorry about our wildfire smoke making it your way.
@pat martin You are so right, and the other thing is that we humans are omnivores and eating meat is part of our physiology. We don't need to apologize for that.
There are many difficult parts of life in this fallen world. I respect how you both handle and care for the animals. You are clearly good stewards of the land and animals God has entrusted to you. Kathy from Indiana
Jim and Brenda you are correct. It's a different mindset if you're a farmer or raising your own food as opposed to those that the only thing they know about food is going to the grocery store. Keep up the good work.
Watching Bree prancing with her tail straight up makes me smile every time 🐎😃 She's gotta be feeling great to be moving like that and it makes me feel great too.
Please ignore the folks that don’t understand the circle of life. You look after your animals so well with such care. We always had our own animals butchered we new they had had a good life. I love all your horses they are beautiful especially little Bree, but Baron is something special he looks amazing.
Love all the caring you give your horses . Bree is growing like a weed . Working a farm is 7 days a week for the farmer. The horses get more time off too play then there owner. God bless the farmers in this country .
The people who shamed you for having a cow slaughtered were getting ready to sit down to their big old mad cow Walmart steak. Thank you for giving that cow a beautiful life
You guys are awesome and take really good care of your animals. Raising your own meat is taking responsibility for your food. We really enjoy your videos, Brenda is great with a camera!
I'm from the farm. Decisions have to be made. Hang in there. I enjoy all your horses. Bree is totally enjoyable to watch. Having had horses myself, raised quite a few foals, I totally enjoy it all. What I'm waiting to see is Duke and Earl in the harness. Be neat to see them in training. I butcher chickens, beef and hogs regularly. Again I guess you have to be from the farm to understand. Hard to believe people have strayed so far away. Always enjoy your videos. Also I thought that the guy from Germany was interesting. Hope everyone enjoyed his visit.
I have always loved your video's and your comments about your cow that was taken to the butcher. I grew up on a farm. Our dad cautioned us about naming our calves but it never really mattered if we named them or just called the "cow" when it came time for them to fulfill their purpose it was a bitter sweet time. But you're right i believe death is part of life and i'm sure that i never showed the feelings i felt when we shipped one off to the butcher but it was a farm community and all of our neighbors shared the same sentiment. Keep up the appreciated work.
Gosh Brenda, people can be so.. what's the word... There are so many words that come to my mind. I'm NOT a vegetarian and so I say to the people of the world, live and let live. I was raised my whole life on cattle ranches. People have no clue! I love y'all. I'm so glad I have your channel to watch because I'm all alone now and your channel brings me back to my youth and young adult life and the life I loved and still do but not to the extent I used to. Your life on the farm brings me a real sense of connection and peace of mind and the shared love we have of horses. Keep on keeping on!!! Ciao
I love to see Lady and Bree all the time. And don't pay any attention to the nay sayers, they aren't happy unless they can complain and upset you. Don't let them do that to you. You and Jim are wonderful people and I wish everyone could be self sustaining.
Brenda and Jim. I would pay no mind to these people that have no concept of the circle of life. A lot of these same people that cry about animals being used for food, have no qualms about killing a human baby in the womb! There are always negative people on social media, or should I say, unsocial media. The majority of us, love and understand, what you're doing!! God bless!
I think you guys are great care takers of all the animals on your farm ,that is the way it is on a farm .lady and Bree sure are looking great.keep up the great work and the awesome vidios ,we sure enjoy them..
Well, I loved seeing Lady and bre❤. The Forest looks beautiful. Now as far as the cow is concerned when you said she had lost her calf for a second time was All I needed to hear but, I grew up on a farm so I knew it is in best interest of the cow. I can not explain it to someone who has never raised animals and lived as a farmer nor I am I going to try. But, love your quote. There is a lot of truth in it. Just keep farming and living as God provides.
Your reply to the bleeding hearts is spot on. On our farm Dad told us that that pig(or chicken or cow ) had lived it while life so we could have something to eat. We had trouble eating out pet runt pig Stinky. Mom kept a package from the store to show us. Circle of life... the seed dies to let the wheat grow.... It is in The Good Book. Yes, please show Bree each time.
It's nice to see Barron fill out the way he has. My thoughts when you first started using him was that he was just so much smaller than the others. But now he has muscled up so much. Nice horse 👍
You are 100% correct about something must die for others to sustain life!!!! Baron has so much energy, his prance and excitement to go and work makes his tail swish from side to side!!!! He walks fast with Bill and slow with Ken!!!
This is one of the bad things that happens on social media. There are people that will criticize. I wonder if they wear or own anything leather?Just ignore, I know that’s hard. You can tell by looking at your livestock that they have been well cared for. I so enjoy your videos and they are so well done. And the drone shots are great. I appreciate the quick updates of Bree too. Keep doing what you’re doing and God bless the farmers. How about a big juicy steak for supper 😁
I love this video! It is absolutely gorgeous in your woods. Seeing Barron and Bill at work was very nice too. Pay no attention if you can to neg. people.
It's winter here in Australia and most of us haven't had much rain either. Seems lots of places are either very dry or very wet. Whereas it used to be that one side of the world would be dry while the other side was wet. Now they have merged and everywhere is either dry or wet. And when wet, it is absolutely terribly wet. Yes things are slowly coming to a peak. If you had enough eggs you could just have omletts with various fillings on this 'down' day as I see it. Fillings could be some bacon bits with capsicum strips (pepper) and tomato or maybe cubed capsicum with diced green chard just wilded with omlett heat and add some tasty leftover pulse beans. Occasional pizza with a heap of cheese is ok but only maybe one per month. Keto pizza is a little bit different but still not too often and many people don't like the sweet backtaste that the almost meal (used in the dough) gives it. Some people use coconut flour but still a bit sweet. I find the almond flour a bit sweet but I don't eat sugar and I often struggle to find a suitable flour alternative. So I don't eat grains or any carbs and no sugar. So just standard keto. You can't even please most of the people some of the time so just do your thing and if they don't like it they will move on. I am country raised and understand all that entails. Still, I winse sometimes but I understand some things are necessary. I eat more meat these days and it only comes from one place! That animal has to die so I can eat. But I am happy with how they are treated from end to end in this country. Not everyone or everything is perfect and we all can do better but as long as we are mindful to do our best, it should be ok. Yo'all do great work and I look forward to the videos whatever they contain.
I hope the commenters re the cow are all vegan! With regards Bree, I would love a glimpse of her in every video, she has really filled up and is growing so fast, I was quite surprised last time we saw her. Just a glimpse please. Baron is growing too, almost matching Bill for height now, and prancing along quite enjoying his work. Horse bites on working horses can cause haematomas , then gear like saddles and harness cause the most awful sores and the horse can be off work for weeks or months. Lovely video Brenda, greetings from Australia.
Anyone who follows you should know how much you care for each and every one of your animals. ❤️ An Animal going to feed people and make other products from bone, cartilage, etc is part of the circle of life. To not use the animal is wasting something God has provided for us. 👍👍
I believe that animals well fed, free to roam, and humanely butchered in a way that avoided fear (as yours are) are the most lucky animals on the planet. I was raised on a small farm and butchering time (whether chickens, pigs or cattle) was a heart wrenching time for our whole family because each animal was specifically known to us and we felt great sadness when we had to kill to eat. Those of us who’ve been there understand and those who haven’t, well, they haven’t. I love your videos because I can see what good lives your animals have. Keep it up.
Can't believe someone complained about taking the cow to butcher. I get all my beef and pork from a rancher in Wyoming. He has a UA-cam podcast, so I get to watch calves be born, grow up, and then he takes them to butcher. Bree sure is cute running with her little tail held high!🥰 Brenda, I think she would like to give you sugar there in her stall! She sure loves you! Billy and Baron are good workers together! Baron seems to have stopped frog hopping when he first starts out pulling a load! Great video today! Enjoy your pizza! P.S. Abby's new windows upstairs looks great!!
As of this video there are over 79 thousand subscribers. Brenda said everybody has an opinion. Like 80 thousand opinions. I’m not a vegetarian, I retired from a meat processing company so I’ve seen animal deaths on steroids which is one of the reasons I pray before a meal, I realize the sacrifice. I would like to remind all of us to be kind towards the other 79 thousand subscribers. I believe the spirit of this channel reflects the humility of Jim and Brenda. They are not critical of negative comments, sensitive, but not critical. There is no them verses us on this channel. Like they say love your neighbor. We are fortunate to already have nearly 80 thousand neighbors. Feel the love!
We love your channel! We learn a lot! We have a Percheron named Diamond. We have a sawmill and a farm that has been in the family for 5 generations. Beef was raised on this farm too. Farmers are serious about their animals.
Brenda and Jim, wonderful video, as always. Bree is such a sweet little foal. Great temperament! Ignore the rude comments about the cow. It’d be interesting to know if these same people have dogs or cats because pet food is mostly made up of animal byproducts!
There was no way that you did not care about the cattle, You and Jim have explained about what the cattle for. And you take great care for them
I have raised calfs on a bucket.
One of them I remember naming him "Hamburger "!
Do not apologize! My grandfather raised cattle for a living. People are ignorant when it comes to their food. You are responsible farmers. You are self sustaining & it is a fact of life. You are wonderful people. I love seeing Bree! Don't pay attention to all the negative people on here! God bless. ❤❤🙏🙏
amen to much negative worthless coments these ppl are the most awesome ppl i have known,
I agree with you love to see Bree any time you can show us.when you have farm animals you are taught from childhood taking care of them comes first every day of the year. No matter what else you want to do you are great teachers about caring for your animals and farming. Thank you for showing us your life style
I agree. 100 %

To Brenda and Jim
I have a sign over my front door that I go out of every morning to do chores that says, "On the 8th day God looked down on his paradise and decided He needed a caretaker, so He made a farmer."
So, my philosophy is, if you have never had a heifer that's a first time mom, that doesn't know what to do and you spend days taking care of her calf for her, trying to get the mom to stand still to feed her new baby, feeding with a bottle if it doesn't happen. Doing this no matter the weather, no matter how frustrating because this baby won't suck on the nipple, is weak and can't stand by itself, etc. Your whole heart rejoices when a couple weeks later, that same calf and mom have figured it out, that calf is running around the pasture playing with all the other calves. Then fast forward 2 years, that same calf that you nurtured and cared for is loaded up and taken to butcher to provide for your family.

The ride home from the butcher you are so overwhelmed with emotions that you start crying, tears streaming down your face, because you know what happens next at the butcher.

Amazing how Baron likes to prance when he pulls, and Bill just plods along.

you people are great and kind
You both look extremely happy and relaxed.......bc of BREE and LADY....both in love with them.....enjoy..
I would love seeing Bree growing every day. It makes my heart sing to see people taking care of their animals. God put us here to take care of all he provides for us even the food cows,pig chickens etc. He just asks us to be thankful. God Bless.
I am in awe of our US farmers and ranchers! Resourceful, hard working and they feed the world. God bless you!
PS I love that extra bounce and tail swish that Baron has. Even after hauling all those loads! He is really getting his head into the working life. Bree of course is adorable!

Bree is getting quite tall and seems so much tamer as seen with both Brenda and Jim in this video !! She sure seems pretty fast as we see her galloping !! Still so cute.
The sound of the horses and theik--SO much better than the sound of tractors...
manure is life,,,loved all of this mix... it's refreshing to see Bree running...kittens are always wanted come summer,,kids need a pal... love you guys.. s/ c
I agree Brenda, can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t enjoy a daily dose of Bree😊!
amen
Brenda, you gave great answer to the viewers about life on the farm. You and Jim are great farmers you guys know what to do , and when to do it. Butchering animals is sometimes part of being on a farm. You guys have a beautiful farm, and i love going into the woods, and fields with you both, I love seeing all the horses, and the beautiful Bree. Jim, Nova Scotia Canada.
amen
Jim’s Top 10 Rules would make a great shirt!
I am so pleased to watch Bree and Lady learn everyday keep showing them, they are a big part of your life and thr farm . Thank you for sharing your world.
So sweet how Bree is already attached to you and Jim and Lady is so tolerant. She is going to be a great horse. Love Lady talking to Bree. It’s interesting that Barron still goes after the boys since they are gelded.
Oh, Bree is just beautiful!!! Thank you for that bit!! 💖
Farmers in general, I believe, have a greater respect for life. Having grown up on a dairy farm, I experienced over and over the circle of life. The joy of birth and the sadness of death. When we were taking a cow to the butcher, it was a quiet and somewhat somber time. We didn’t talk about it very much as we all knew what was happening. It was a quiet time to do some reflecting.
I had six sisters and one brother and we all got to name the new calves. We were encouraged to get attached to every animal on the farm even though we knew we would outlive all of them. We always had a cow named after one of my sisters.
Here is an example of learning the cycle of life on the farm. My dad always had a good beagle for rabbit hunting. Every year he would have her bred and have a batch of puppies to sell. We all got very attached to the puppies and when someone came to buy one we all hoped they wouldn’t and when they did, it seems like all of us would cry. I remember my mother telling my father that maybe we should not have more puppies as all the kids do is cry when they are sold.
I remember clearly one of my sisters, who couldn’t of been four or five years old at the time, saying, “ oh no, we love having puppies, we are just sad when they have to go to a new home”.
I love what you said about our food. I don't think people really understand your cattle aren't pets! I love watching Bree! She sure has a beautiful trot! I love to listen to her talk!
My little sister.(we are both over 60). Said to tell you she's very impressed with how Baron is progressing. I am also. We had horses and pony when we were younger. And come from a long line of horse lovers. We both loved the look on Jim's face as he approached Bree. We thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to watching her grow.
Thank you, guys. That was fun. Brie is a doll. I'm so glad for Lady and for you guys that she came into this world with no issues. She is truly a blessing.
We gave thanks to God for the sacrifice of our beef to feed us and thanked him for the blessing that healthily and humanly raised beef brought to our family. Each meal we had was a celebration of that life as we enjoyed it.
His lovingkindness is abundant in ALL.
When I was a kid we had a little bull born in the afternoon when we were home from school and all of us kids were there to welcome him into this new world, so we all imprinted on him from his first moments. Throughout his life whenever we would walk over to the fence little bull would come over to say hi. Because we had no need for another bull, little bull was destined for food and when his time came my dad brought home all of the meat and put it into the freezer, but none of us kids had any interest in eating it, and my dad finally had to load up all of the frozen meat and take it back to the butcher to trade for meat from other animals so that we would eat it.
That’ll funny !
I never read the comments but I don't know how anyone could say that about you guys. Brenda your kindness and love you show to all your animals is awesome.! Jim and Bree is awesome together! I'm sorry that someone said negative things about you guys. Thanks for your great videos!
Thanks for the great videos and there's no need to apologise for either the content of the daily life on the farm, as my farmer neighbour states that the one guarantee of livestock is that you'll have dead stock. Your animals and livestock are having a pretty awesome life compared to a lot of commercial livestock, they're not pets! No apologies required for the state of your barn either, I'm pretty sure you're both working from dawn until dusk at the moment. Hopefully you have some moments pleasure during the day, like enjoying your time with Lady & Bree. You're right Brenda, I'm not sure who's not enjoying that, but we're all different. All the best. Regards, Ian
Barren is becoming more mature these days.he,s doing so well.😊
Hi guys. Don’t fret about things people say about what you eat. Everyone loves a good sausage,but they don’t want to see how it’s made. Sorry about our wildfire smoke making it your way.
@pat martin You are so right, and the other thing is that we humans are omnivores and eating meat is part of our physiology. We don't need to apologize for that.
She is such a pretty little thing when she runs, you can just feel her joy at running!
There are many difficult parts of life in this fallen world. I respect how you both handle and care for the animals. You are clearly good stewards of the land and animals God has entrusted to you. Kathy from Indiana
Jim and Brenda you are correct. It's a different mindset if you're a farmer or raising your own food as opposed to those that the only thing they know about food is going to the grocery store. Keep up the good work.
Watching Bree prancing with her tail straight up makes me smile every time 🐎😃 She's gotta be feeling great to be moving like that and it makes me feel great too.
Such a cute filly. I know I do not mind watching her!
Please ignore the folks that don’t understand the circle of life. You look after your animals so well with such care. We always had our own animals butchered we new they had had a good life. I love all your horses they are beautiful especially little Bree, but Baron is something special he looks amazing.
Some people live in La La land . If I am on natures menu so is everything else😂😂😂I will not leave this life in one piece❤❤❤ Grizzly bear chow?LOL.
Love all the caring you give your horses . Bree is growing like a weed . Working a farm is 7 days a week for the farmer. The horses get more time off too play then there owner. God bless the farmers in this country .
The people who shamed you for having a cow slaughtered were getting ready to sit down to their big old mad cow Walmart steak. Thank you for giving that cow a beautiful life
Amen
Thanks for the plan to show Bree in every video. They grow so fast it will be nice to see her often as a baby. She is such a pretty color.
You guys are awesome and take really good care of your animals. Raising your own meat is taking responsibility for your food. We really enjoy your videos, Brenda is great with a camera!
I watch all videos hoping to see updates of Bree, so thank you! Enjoy all other content as well, but especially Bree and Lady.
Even going to the barn Baron had a bounce to his step. He is a beautiful horse
No apology needed you take awesome are of all your livestock. Bree is growing fast.
I'm from the farm. Decisions have to be made. Hang in there.
I enjoy all your horses. Bree is totally enjoyable to watch. Having had horses myself, raised quite a few foals, I totally enjoy it all.
What I'm waiting to see is Duke and Earl in the harness. Be neat to see them in training.
I butcher chickens, beef and hogs regularly. Again I guess you have to be from the farm to understand. Hard to believe people have strayed so far away.
Always enjoy your videos.
Also I thought that the guy from Germany was interesting. Hope everyone enjoyed his visit.
That wood lot is so beautiful
Oh we love little Bree nice seeing Baron working is so good keeps his mind engaged. Dont listen to them city people they no nothing.
Baron is doing so well! He is standing fairly well while Jim unloads and impressing me.
I have always loved your video's and your comments about your cow that was taken to the butcher. I grew up on a farm. Our dad cautioned us about naming our calves but it never really mattered if we named them or just called the "cow" when it came time for them to fulfill their purpose it was a bitter sweet time. But you're right i believe death is part of life and i'm sure that i never showed the feelings i felt when we shipped one off to the butcher but it was a farm community and all of our neighbors shared the same sentiment. Keep up the appreciated work.
Gosh Brenda, people can be so.. what's the word... There are so many words that come to my mind. I'm NOT a vegetarian and so I say to the people of the world, live and let live. I was raised my whole life on cattle ranches. People have no clue! I love y'all. I'm so glad I have your channel to watch because I'm all alone now and your channel brings me back to my youth and young adult life and the life I loved and still do but not to the extent I used to. Your life on the farm brings me a real sense of connection and peace of mind and the shared love we have of horses. Keep on keeping on!!! Ciao
I love the Bree and lady footage! And I think Baron’s gait is so cute as he works along side of Bill.
Baron is standing better!!!
I love to see Lady and Bree all the time. And don't pay any attention to the nay sayers, they aren't happy unless they can complain and upset you. Don't let them do that to you. You and Jim are wonderful people and I wish everyone could be self sustaining.
I love seeing Bree! She is so cute.
Thank you for mentioning why you had two different piles of logs. That was going to be my question.
Brenda is like a proud grandma around Bree.
Brenda and Jim. I would pay no mind to these people that have no concept of the circle of life. A lot of these same people that cry about animals being used for food, have no qualms about killing a human baby in the womb! There are always negative people on social media, or should I say, unsocial media. The majority of us, love and understand, what you're doing!! God bless!
Amen and Amen
I think you guys are great care takers of all the animals on your farm ,that is the way it is on a farm .lady and Bree sure are looking great.keep up the great work and the awesome vidios ,we sure enjoy them..
Glad you guys are not getting all the smoke from Canada! Bree is so freindly! and SO CUTE!
Well, I loved seeing Lady and bre❤. The Forest looks beautiful. Now as far as the cow is concerned when you said she had lost her calf for a second time was All I needed to hear but, I grew up on a farm so I knew it is in best interest of the cow. I can not explain it to someone who has never raised animals and lived as a farmer nor I am I going to try. But, love your quote. There is a lot of truth in it. Just keep farming and living as God provides.
I enjoy all of your videos. Brenda is very good with them. I miss Buck though.
Your reply to the bleeding hearts is spot on. On our farm Dad told us that that pig(or chicken or cow ) had lived it while life so we could have something to eat. We had trouble eating out pet runt pig Stinky. Mom kept a package from the store to show us. Circle of life... the seed dies to let the wheat grow.... It is in The Good Book.
Yes, please show Bree each time.
It's nice to see Barron fill out the way he has.
My thoughts when you first started using him was that he was just so much smaller than the others. But now he has muscled up so much. Nice horse 👍
You are 100% correct about something must die for others to sustain life!!!! Baron has so much energy, his prance and excitement to go and work makes his tail swish from side to side!!!! He walks fast with Bill and slow with Ken!!!
This is one of the bad things that happens on social media. There are people that will criticize. I wonder if they wear or own anything leather?Just ignore, I know that’s hard. You can tell by looking at your livestock that they have been well cared for. I so enjoy your videos and they are so well done. And the drone shots are great. I appreciate the quick updates of Bree too. Keep doing what you’re doing and God bless the farmers. How about a big juicy steak for supper 😁
Wow I think Baron has grown! He looks bigger than Bill now!
I love this video! It is absolutely gorgeous in your woods. Seeing Barron and Bill at work was very nice too. Pay no attention if you can to neg. people.
The horses are so gorgeous in the woods.
It's winter here in Australia and most of us haven't had much rain either. Seems lots of places are either very dry or very wet. Whereas it used to be that one side of the world would be dry while the other side was wet. Now they have merged and everywhere is either dry or wet. And when wet, it is absolutely terribly wet. Yes things are slowly coming to a peak.
If you had enough eggs you could just have omletts with various fillings on this 'down' day as I see it. Fillings could be some bacon bits with capsicum strips (pepper) and tomato or maybe cubed capsicum with diced green chard just wilded with omlett heat and add some tasty leftover pulse beans.
Occasional pizza with a heap of cheese is ok but only maybe one per month. Keto pizza is a little bit different but still not too often and many people don't like the sweet backtaste that the almost meal (used in the dough) gives it. Some people use coconut flour but still a bit sweet. I find the almond flour a bit sweet but I don't eat sugar and I often struggle to find a suitable flour alternative. So I don't eat grains or any carbs and no sugar. So just standard keto.
You can't even please most of the people some of the time so just do your thing and if they don't like it they will move on. I am country raised and understand all that entails. Still, I winse sometimes but I understand some things are necessary. I eat more meat these days and it only comes from one place! That animal has to die so I can eat. But I am happy with how they are treated from end to end in this country. Not everyone or everything is perfect and we all can do better but as long as we are mindful to do our best, it should be ok.
Yo'all do great work and I look forward to the videos whatever they contain.
... this is a working farm and not understanding that gives heart ache to animal lovers everywhere.. you guys do a good job thank you for sharing!!!
Don't listen to anyone, just live your life the way you see fit.
I hope the commenters re the cow are all vegan!
With regards Bree, I would love a glimpse of her in every video, she has really filled up and is growing so fast, I was quite surprised last time we saw her. Just a glimpse please.
Baron is growing too, almost matching Bill for height now, and prancing along quite enjoying his work. Horse bites on working horses can cause haematomas , then gear like saddles and harness cause the most awful sores and the horse can be off work for weeks or months.
Lovely video Brenda, greetings from Australia.
Anyone who follows you should know how much you care for each and every one of your animals. ❤️
An Animal going to feed people and make other products from bone, cartilage, etc is part of the circle of life. To not use the animal is wasting something God has provided for us. 👍👍
Great explanation Brenda!!! You are spot on!!! You guys rock!
I believe that animals well fed, free to roam, and humanely butchered in a way that avoided fear (as yours are) are the most lucky animals on the planet. I was raised on a small farm and butchering time (whether chickens, pigs or cattle) was a heart wrenching time for our whole family because each animal was specifically known to us and we felt great sadness when we had to kill to eat. Those of us who’ve been there understand and those who haven’t, well, they haven’t. I love your videos because I can see what good lives your animals have. Keep it up.
Bree is a free soul!
Can't believe someone complained about taking the cow to butcher. I get all my beef and pork from a rancher in Wyoming. He has a UA-cam podcast, so I get to watch calves be born, grow up, and then he takes them to butcher. Bree sure is cute running with her little tail held high!🥰 Brenda, I think she would like to give you sugar there in her stall! She sure loves you! Billy and Baron are good workers together! Baron seems to have stopped frog hopping when he first starts out pulling a load! Great video today! Enjoy your pizza! P.S. Abby's new windows upstairs looks great!!
Hey Brenda, I'd love to watch you make pizza! I've never learned how to make the dough!
Bree was beautiful! ❤❤
Thank you for always sharing life on your farm It is enjoyable real life situations. Wishing everyone all the very best.
As of this video there are over 79 thousand subscribers. Brenda said everybody has an opinion. Like 80 thousand opinions. I’m not a vegetarian, I retired from a meat processing company so I’ve seen animal deaths on steroids which is one of the reasons I pray before a meal, I realize the sacrifice. I would like to remind all of us to be kind towards the other 79 thousand subscribers. I believe the spirit of this channel reflects the humility of Jim and Brenda. They are not critical of negative comments, sensitive, but not critical. There is no them verses us on this channel. Like they say love your neighbor. We are fortunate to already have nearly 80 thousand neighbors. Feel the love!
We love your channel! We learn a lot! We have a Percheron named Diamond. We have a sawmill and a farm that has been in the family for 5 generations. Beef was raised on this farm too. Farmers are serious about their animals.
Oh Brenda! Those boys would be perfect gentlemen for a lovely lady.
I was thinking that too that Brenda wouldn't want to drive the excavator.
Nice to see that Bree is so trusting of you 🥰
Brenda and Jim, wonderful video, as always. Bree is such a sweet little foal. Great temperament! Ignore the rude comments about the cow. It’d be interesting to know if these same people have dogs or cats because pet food is mostly made up of animal byproducts!
I love w.atching you driving bdhind the horses....especially like Barons jaunty walk-jog.
And his lovely tail swishing!
