Strangely this video showed up today in my "in box". I thought, "oh no", their new market trailer did not work because today is your first day at market with the new concept. However, it was fun to see the old farm and realize you have only been on the existing farm for two years. My oh my, how quickly it has already changed and improved under your management.
Nice to see the brooders on camera, which are still functioning exactly as they were on the previous farm.
Hope the new trailer worked out even better than planned. God bless you two.
Thanks Dwight! Yeah. That’s an older video and a LOT has sure changed. Appreciate you watching!!
@@SheratonParkFarms So you're not going to throw me a bone of extra information about how the new trailer worked?
I love how Saundra’s face lit up when you mentioned that the new farm has perimeter fencing!
I think that’s her favorite part of the new place. Appreciate y’all watching
I've got 130 acres in the Berkshire mountain's of western massachusetts.beef cattle, and yorkshires.. had creek issues .till one day the wife says why don't we build a bridge...got my bro in law with his welder ,and we have a bridge now the cattle,and hogs pass right on threw...gated at both ends. Hope it helps...
It's a blessing having a creek crossing the land.
Good strong 4 to 5 foot non climb woven wire and 3 - 4 strands of hot high tinsel electric on the inside and above the woven wire makes a great perimeter fence. Is what I installed 28 years ago and have never had a animal break through it and leave the farm unaccompanied. Livestock including stallions, bulls, pigs sheep, goats have huge respect for it and don't challenge the fences. 😁. Has given me huge peace of mind knowing no one is going to end up on the road or ruining neighbors yards and gardens. It was an expense but more so a long term investment.
Strong fence makes a good neighbor and keeps your neighbors happy as well.
Congratulations on the sale and new farm. Can’t wait to see new farm content. Thanks for always posting great videos!
Thanks. Excited to show the new farm and think it will provide some great material for content.
So excited for y’all! Can’t wait to see how y’all grow and expand at the new farm!
Thanks. We are really looking forward to it.
I absolutely love watching the two of you interact with each other!! The genuine love is written all over y'alls faces. The humor and pickin at each other is that stuff that keeps a marriage fun!! Thank you for sharing your lives with us!!
Thank you so much!! We get along pretty good.

We have slowly redone almost all the perimeter fencing since we bought our farm. We did have a cow get out early one morning. Black angus hit by an F250 at 5am. Was a terrible experience. We have chased cows and horses many times. They are true grazers so feed buckets don’t always work like they do for pigs. Leave those regrets behind and move on.
We’ve been lucky not to have anything get to the road. The new place isn’t close to the highway so that will help too. We’ve learned a lot of good stuff here that we can take with us.
Couldn’t imagine the mess that truck vs. cow made. 🥺
It wasn’t good. The truck hit the breaks pretty hard but still broke her shoulder. She was about 6 months breed with what was to be one of our first calves. She limped off behind a house at the end of our pasture. I talked to the home owner and waited until they went to work. I put her down there then took her to a local processor that worked his magic. The road kill steaks were bad at all.
I agree about the perimeter fencing! That was one thing I was willing to invest in early on with our operation. You have to know you are going to be there for a long time for it to really pay for itself, but I don't worry at night about pigs getting out, not predators getting in, with the flex fence I have installed.
Looking forward to seeing the new farm! Bless y'all
Thanks. The fencing will give us more options. Excited about it. Appreciate y’all watching
So happy for you guys, cant wait to experience your journey on your new farm.
Thanks. We think it’s going to be a lot of fun......and work🤣
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE CHANNEL! Thanks Chuck and Saundra!
Hey Bud. Appreciate y’all watching
Wishing you guys all the best during and after your move. Blessings.
Thanks!
My heart goes out to you when you start packing and moving everything That was the first thing I looked for when looking for property was for it to have a good perimeter fence
Soooo much looking forward to the ‘new’ Sheraton Park Farms. Enjoyed seeing the ‘softer’ side of you and Sandra in this video.
Thanks. We enjoyed the candid discussion. May do more if that of folks like it.
@@SheratonParkFarms we do!
Greg Judy said he's gone to deliver cows to farms and not dropped them of, brought them back, because the perimeter fence was inadequate.
So excited for you both!!
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Congratulations on your contract and I'm glad for u great job
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
I’m a new subscriber and I love the videos. Can’t wait to see your new property.
Thanks so much for subscribing. Appreciate y’all watching
Man oh MAN do I like the looks of that new creek!!!!
Thought that might get your attention. 😉
4:59 There’s one *_’Major Mistake_* right there… 😉
But seriously, great information 👍🏻
My head still hurts. Do that all the time. 🤣🤣 Appreciate y’all watching
Good luck on your new farm. Great thoughts on File 13, whether on a farm or home.
Exactly! Deciliter every chance.
Greg Judy also says that #1 is perimeter fencing.
Congratulations on moving forward with your farm. I will tell you perimeter doesn't solve all the problems. Especially with cows, they can still get out... We lost a Heyshire dairy cow through our fences for a week this summer before she decided to come back
Oh man! Thanks. We’ll be sure to keep our eyes peeled.
perimeter fence was one of the first things i put up. Gives security and you can cut it up as you want with portable electric. It is a chore and expense but i start there first on every property
Are y’all staying in the same area of NC ? We’re just got back from West Va looking at properties but now going to look more towards the mountains in NC.. Congratulations on the sale of the house.
Kinda. Moving about 1 1/2hrs west. Back to the foothills.
Fence makes good neighborhoods . It keeps their pet off the farm so I dont have to kill them . And it's a must have as a second layer of protection from escaping animals .
Enjoyed your video. Looking forward to your new place. Have a super day. Lisa@moneypit homestead
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
Good morning,heading out to doctors soon,one pig to get picked up and thats it they will be gone. My friend I loaned my Duroc boar to came to visit me last night and he was telling me his sows had started pigging. Part of me wants to go see them, boar was bought by the breeder I got him from as a piglet. Miss the son of a gun, but glad he went home!
Good morning John. Thanks for watching
i love watching you two
great video. At 9:57, is that an old tobacco barn?
It is. We’ve been using it for storage.
@@SheratonParkFarms I thought so based on the dimensions and overhangs. I grew up near Reidsville, NC (Rockingham County). There's still quite a few tobacco farmers in the upper Piedmont. I'm down in Union County now and don't see the old tobacco barns in this part of NC. I'm excited to see your new farm and future success.
Hi Chuck,
How many acres is the farm you are moving from and how many acres is the farm you are moving to?
As an up and coming farmer u guys really motivate me. Thank you!
By chance can you tell me who that intro song is by.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words.
Its called "Dude Where's My Horse" by Nat Keefe with the Bow Ties
@@SheratonParkFarms thank you soooooo much
When are you going to show the new place?
Soon! Excited to show it. Talked to a guy over the weekend about doing some drone shots to include in the video.
I love your chicken tractors most I've seen are hoop style and not tall enough for this old lady with bad knees, can you but them like that or did you make the pointed metal parts? I'd like to get a couple like that. I also love your watering system. Much love from So.Cal.💟
Those are “Suscovich” style tractors. Do a Google search for them. You can buy plans that show exactly how you build them. Super easy to put together.
I like them for the same reason. No bending over!!
Thanks for watching
Thank you for the info going to do that search now
Great job Sandra! Can you move stuff early ? How far away is it ? Todd
Yes. The current owners have agreed to let us begin storing and moving some things in. It’s about an hour and a half away. Thanks for watching
@@SheratonParkFarms thanks for letting Sandra grace the screen again ! 🤪
Great job you 2 !
Where is the new property I grew up in Bessemer city NC it’s changed so much since I was there last
How did you get the name Sheridan Park farms
Enjoyed
Thanks
Why move to another farm and rebuild?
I have 60 chicks coming next week
Nice. Good luck with them.
ye haw
What site do you get pig semen from or your ai equipment?
🐊🦅🇵🇷❤
are you sponsored by craftsman and lowes?
No. We don’t have any sponsors right now.
@@SheratonParkFarms but like back when you first made it i was just curious because im interested in product placement!
@@kaylad1322 no we weren’t sponsored by then. Those would be great sponsors to have.
@@SheratonParkFarms Thank you ^-^
👨✈️👰👍
Thanks!
I regret you never did anything cool with your bamboo. I guess I watched too much Gilligan's Island.
Haha. We mowed most of it down.
At that age making sad faces for a thumbnail is just wrong your not 19 anymore just gay cheers
I don’t take specific photos for my thumbnails. It’s just a frame capture from the video. Thanks for watching!
I love the thumbnail !!!!!!
I thought it was fine. @@SheratonParkFarms
