- In today's Family Farm Vlog, we saw a post on social media by our electric coop and it said free wire spools!! We immediately thought of our farm animals, especially the goats, and our pet cow, so we hopped in the farm truck and went and got our pet farm animals a new toy!!

Cog Hill Farm & Homestead
Cog Hill makes Mondays better. Topper acted like it was a dream come true to finally be taller than Moody!
Seriously, if I had access to that many spools I would make at least 2 more trips and get as many as possible. They're so useful. Even if you didn't utilize them right away you would have them for future projects.
those wire spools with a couple of boards taken out of the side would make wonderful nests for the geese when they start laying - bit of hay and they would be happy with that
Neat idea
What a clever idea
Lol! Last spring, a family that UA-cam's did just that! Weed 'em and Reap.
Peaches seems to be thriving so much on the new farm. She seems so much happier.
I'm super impressed with MaryCarl, one tough little girl, that was a very athletic move she did on that swing. ❤
How fun. I am sure the goats just love they got the Biggie size. Lol
Go get some more and keep for later..might as well.
We had one of those spools when I was a child that we used for a picnic table.
Same here!
The sun's shining and the sky is blue, the goats got spools and MooMan's jammin to the Moody Blues!!!! Just makes me smile, everything seems right with the world 👍😆
Yeah, deep south. Last somewhat free area in the country.
@@ds3333 I don't know where you live but I'm pretty free here in Missouri. The only thing that keeps me from doing what I want, are my legs!!
I just burst out laughing when you said you would freak out if Moo man was actually on top of one of the wire spools. You gave me such a visual. LOL
Peach will need a handy cap ramp to play on the spools
I’m surprised y’all did t go to get more spools they would come in handy around the farm in so many ways ! You could build climbing play ground for the goats , make picnic tables in all the areas, use the wood off them to build projects, use the wood to make fence around garden areas , and many other things you could find you might use the spools or the wood from them around the farm, like patching projects where wood is needed!! I love y’all’s Cog Hill 40 farm y’all are working so hard to make a beautiful piece of land into a special place to live for y’all and your babies, and Brookes momma!! Love y’all ❤️🙏🙏🙋🏻
Absolutely, I saw all of that pretty clean wood on the spools and thought the same thing. They could build a few decks along the pond area. Build more randome single Chicken roosts for the solitary wonderers. I was waiting for them to move the picnic tables closer....the farm is so inviting and the Animals are loving their new digs! Great job!!
I thought the same. What I would give for a few if those
Agree. They are gold. Free, go get more.
I'm surprised you didn't get another load while they're free, they love them.🥰
You could use one or two at the pond for many different uses.... Dock and island to dive off for ducks and Mary Carl....To stand on to fish if you stock the pond....etc.
That was a good deal you all got. FREE wire spools! Moody said he can use one as his dining table lol. Just the right height.
I tell you, you guys make my day watching y’all first thing in the morning. I wake up with pain and stiffness, and depression but watching you guys in the morning before I even get out of bed, I’m smiling while I try to start moving for the day. Thank you so much for that. You don’t know how much you help me.
me too
I feel you Sheryl ❤
They make us happy 😊
I love watching this awesome family. Don't know what it is about them but, no matter how rough my day is, they make it better. Just mary Carl's pretty smiles just makes my day brighter. Loved seeing her have fun today with the spools and swing. Such a precious young lady.
me to,stiffness from the weather and when I caint sleep at 2am I get my laptop and look
for the Cog family..all the animals and when he calls all the names out ..makes me so happy 😊 😃 God's way of turning down the pain some ..watching this 👪 Marycarls
chickens 🐔 🐔 are awesome..Thanks Coghill
The really big one looked like a table to me. It would be great in the flower garden area or back near the green houses for the outer space to make it more useful
Get 3-4 sized SPOOLS then add a wood panel that resembles a large COG with teeth & paint them bright colors. Would create you a cool front yard display for your flower garden market.
Get the biggest size and just turn the on side and cut the tops and bottoms a few chunks out in the shape of cogs and paint. paint cog on one hill on another farm on another. Then get 3 smaller ones and make cogs "rolling" up towards animals that say Jason Brooke and Marycarl. Then ome in each pem with the animals names from that pen painted on. Maybe could make a spool amd liicense plate mountain of some sort attaching spools. or use them along the right side the large pasture pond side (not the animal side) of the road leading to the house as "fenceline".
Moody needs a black tie with a bar towel cuz he looks like a Bar Tender at his spool table. He’s getting ready to make milk shakes for his goat buddies.
Wow! What a fund. You could take them apart and repurchase the wood or cut a hole in them for chicken nests. It would make a good work table and water station table too!
Mood thinks it would make a good dinner plate
Jason, you sure made me 😂😂😂 when you said you don’t know what you would do if you came out and saw Moody on the spool!!! Just love watching your videos and I’m guaranteed to laugh over something one of you say or do ….thank you….from a 62 year old,who NEVER had a farm or farm animals …guess I’m more a city girl but can’t get enough of Cog Hill ❤️
Here in Michigan we seal those up with Thompson water sealer n make patio/deck tables out of them. The center hole is perfect for a umbrella
Better than an amusement park!!!
😊❤️🇨🇦🎶
I'm in Utah and so when I woke up at 5:30 I didn't think you'd be on yet. I wake every morning and wait till 8:00 to see if you've put anything up new since the last time I watch. You make my day.
Moody sure has changed .. He's happy and it shows.. Love the Nug.. Tucker sure gets around...God bless.. The wire spools are just what the animals needed and free too..🇺🇸🌹❤️
You should pound in a few t bars around the small red hay feeder so the goats and peaches stop ripping it over in their water.
You all should have gone back and get more spools, I'm sure there are a lot of uses for them. There were some smaller ones also. It was funny when MooMan got scared of the drill noise. He's a big boy but he is so timid and sweet, poor baby.
MARYCARL!!!! My grandson sometimes watches with me. He wants to tell MaryCarl, to “pump it” and she will go really high and really fast on her swing. When she starts to swing back, to lean forward, and put her feet back, bend her knees. Then when going forward, to lean back with legs straight, and keep “pumping it”, and she will go real high! (Edit) she probably already knows, but I had to post it. I thought it was too sweet. And tell her I just love that fluffy white silkie that is in this video. Too cute! Much love, from KY!
Those are some big wore spools now! Topper is the same height as Moody when he's standing on top of it lol. You have some of the most beautiful chickens. Definitely the most unique chickens I've ever seen.
Really enjoying this video. I see the red hay rack and it was turned over. I was wondering if you could sink some pipes into the ground and then drop the hay rack legs into the pipes and solve the problem of it getting knocked over. Just an idea from a 79-year-old great-grandmother! Hugs and kisses to you all and may you have a very blessed Christmas.
Great idea.
Just a KY Grandma, wanting to say HI to the Great Grandma! That is a great idea! Wishing you, a very blessed Merry Christmas!
Nice spools, great for the goats, and probably Moody will take time before he works out how to shift these, but certainly will have the strebgth required.
I love those spools, they make great tables by our pond. A place to put towels and picnic baskets, they roll to move when mowing. Get more because the pond is a coming!
Them spools are cool. Them are happy happy goats. Hey y'all, a friendly suggestion. that red hay stand that keeps getting knocked over ? Put a T post on each side and wire the stand to it. No more spilled hay and knocked over hay rack. I hope ya stay warm and safe with the incoming weather headed your way.
SEE TOY FOR NUGGET BELOW: Great job family, go get some more for the flower garden area and near the barn to work off of, and for down at pond when y’all get it in, or put one in the chickens area so Scott can get on it when he gets out of holding pen!
If you put one in the chickens paddock,
make NUGGET A PLAY TOY!
1)put a large long dowel in the middle of the hole,
2)attach a large wooden lazy Susan to the top of the dowel so it can go around.
3)obtain 2 screen door wire weight adjusters that can use screws to be screwed flat on the top of the lazy Susan & these will come apart in the middle and then you’ll have 4pieces of wire to space out evenly on the top of the lazy Susan & screw these down.
4)Use a Vice to bend the wire tip around some kind of chain so it can hang down loosely, you’ll have 4 pcs. now to attach shiny fun objects that Nugget can play with on the TOY turn around in his yard. ANY BETTER IDEAS, Please add to my ideas! I’m just trying to build something for Nugget to be entertained by since he likes shiny objects❤️👍😍
Those spools were a great find! The goats loved them ❤️
They are going to have fun with them, perfect for sun bathing. Every day it’s starting to look more and more like Cog Hill. I would of gone back for more, when I was little my Dad made end tables from wire spools he took the ends off stained them and put rope through them and hung them they where beautiful. Also makes beautiful picnic tables. Love and prayers always have a blessed day ❤️❤️🙏🙏🐄🐖🐓
I know y'all have lives and everything but it would make me so much happier if there is a video every single day and it lasted for hours. Okay wishful thinking! I just enjoy watching this so much!
Wire spools great for gardening table, sprouting table also 🌱🌱😁👍
Wow yall are so lucky. Free spools are impossible to find here in Maine, we always have to pay for them. I have many in my goat area and they do use them from time to time. I love how MaryCarl enjoys her swing. Swings really do a lot for our brains. I wasn't aware of all this until I got my sons. Both have sensory processing disorder, at Occupational Therapy they told us swings are the best thing for kids to "reset" their brains. Not only the swingging motion but if they spin on it too, as well as side to side motion. For whatever reason, it helps the brain chemistry go into happy mode. My littles LOVE to swing even at 10 and 12 and will spin for hours (you and I would probably not do so well with it especially after lunch! LOL). Im so glad MaryCarl gets to live her life on your farm the way she does, she gets to explore new things, develop her interests and passions and have two incredible parents who adore and support her. She is so bless as are you! I am thrilled as usual to watch another Cog Hill 40 video! Thanks for sharing! Love to you all from Central Maine.
You can actually use the wire spool for duck nesting as well. Cutting a hole in the side and making a little ramp for them
A friend of mine in 1974 made all her furniture out of the spools. Table and chairs. Small spools we made book shelf out of them. She piled them on top of each other 5 high.
She made a head board for her bed. Put a table cloth on her table. She did a nice job. Made plant shelf. All out of spools.
She furnished her apt. Home. She did it all free. Like you. L.O.L. That was fun.
You should get another big one and set it side by side and put the small one that Mary Carl has on top. The farm down the road from us did that and it’s so cool to see their male goat laying on top of it. We call him king of the spools!
Great snag on the spools. We're still a couple years from putting animals on our farm, but whenever I see spools like that I want to grab 'em up. Screw a couple of pieces of pressure treated 2x4 or 4x4 on the bottom to avoid direct ground contact and they may last longer....they are made out of heat treated lumber and will eventually rot.
Should paint them all different colors. We used to play on those when we were kids. Secure your hey feeder to a couple of fence posts .
Great idea..all bright and wild colors
Those spools are great! You should check into a cow brush pole to place in the center of the paddock. Not only will Moody love it but goats love to scratch themselves too.
Hello to all the good people around the world that enjoys and love this fine farmers and their friends!!
I put a spool out by my grill as a table, keeps the dogs away from the food and friends can use it for their drinks while keeping me company as the food cooks!
They make the best umbrella picnic tables too, also I’ve seen kitchen tables made out them put on wheels!
It's 5 degrees celcius here tonight and I just want to point out that no cows are in the barn or under shelters and they are just fine! : ) Whoever said they need a shelter for your climate I think never owned cattle. LOL
A friend off mine did the same thing y'all did with their swing. Her daughter's foot slipped near the spool. Here daughter broke her leg due to that. Please take that into consideration. We all love y'all. Just a precaution you might want to think about. In no way am I trying to tell you what to do, or telling you how to raise your child. You are doing a fantastic job, with all y'all do.
I immediately thought of a potential accident also.
She wants to swing higher.
I think you said that was her goal. Soo
Her rope might be a we bit long for that spool or the ground is too high? It should be long enough to gain momentum from the first push off but not compromise her legs as she passes the ground.
The rope needs to be tied to the spool when she is finished so there is less struggle climbing on and pushing off the first time.
Create a pendulum effect without endangering legs and ankles be a few fast steps, pushing off and returning.
The problem with the second swing out is…She either has to come to a stop on the stool and begin as before. Or use the traditional leg kick pump to swing out again. Because struggling with her toes and ankles on return and second kickoff is an accident waiting to happen.
Have her look up some you tube lake swings to get better ideas than mine.
Or head and wrists falling down.
Perhaps I missed convo on powerlines vs underground, but just in case it matters, my 2 cents lol
We just had ours changed to underground. Power company was free. lol Only cost us ditchdigger. It’s awesome not having the poles/lines across our land 😁🤗
What a wonderful family you are.. good genuine people 💕
God sent you more blessings once again! ❤ I am happy for you and your animals! 🤗
Look so forward to seeing these beautiful furrbababies everyday ❤❤
Thats awesome that you can get free spools. The goats love them. Like how Joe gets in under it he fits perfect under 😊 love the little chickens too and MaryCarl has a great setup out there, she can have her own picnic, lol
Good morning! So nice to start my day with you guy’s. Happy you got new toy’s for the animals. I swear Moo man is glowing in the sun today. He’s so shiny and healthy looking now. He is thriving in your care and love,his hide is proof of that! Thanks for sharing your love with us and All the animals
They are going to love those!! Ever think of putting ramps and walkways between them? Give them something to play and climb on?
They could make some goat playgrounds, and obstacle courses. But that could be long term goal with all their many other projects, plans and dreams.
@@cepearle7072 Yes! That would be awesome! You are correct....Long term goals. They have a lot on their plate right now. :)
It was nice to see y’all having an unstressed morning. Those spools were an early Christmas present to the 40.
Loved the video
Howdy Cog Squad 🖐️
I miss the farm from my childhood and I could just sit and watch your animals all day long.
Loved to see Nugget 'yawning' - made me smile 😊
Those spools can be used in so many amazing ways…..hope you snagged a few more. The babies were really enjoying them!
Many projects to make with the wood , out in CA wood pallets are real popular, prices on lumber are thru the roof , so hang onto them... very nice little farm, I love how the animals are your pets, your so fortunate to have all that.
Just LOVE your animal-loaded videos! Thanks! : )
Get two big spools to use by the flower gardens & plant Sunflowers in them ! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
I adore how you work as a team and watch out for each other. There is nothing you can't accomplish as a team.
Use the holes in the spool to stand an umbrella for the goats !
I would use one of those spools close to your outdoor kitchen to set your stuff on. Also set one by your water sprockets to set your watering containers on as you wash them out. Or even a potting soil table. So many uses. Hope u get a chance to go back for some more of them. Free is good and I love to see people repurpose things that would otherwise go to waste.
MaryCarl is such a beautiful young lady like her Momma and Daddy! God Bless you all!
I hope you go back for more spools! You might check out Cannon Hall Farm and Hall Hill Farm on You Tube and see there goat playgrounds! Amazing how much the goats love them! It gives the mom's a break from all the kids climbing on them!
How would a fine mist water sprayer go for Moody and for the goats. You could set it at the far end of their paddock and let them play in the mist for a while, then turn it off. Might help cool them down a bit.
Free is my favorite price! LOL What a great find! I always enjoy spending a few minutes on the farm with you all. You, and the animals just lifts my spirits, and puts a smile on my face! Love you folks! God bless
Hi Cog Hill family, I am sitting here in cold wet and windy Manchester, England, and have just watched your video, well it's cheered me up no end, just watching you all in the sunshine, with all the animal characters on your farm is wonderful, those wire spools are just great for the goats, love watching your video's 👍👍👍😚😚😚
What a treasure find. We had wire spools we played on and yes ran on the center like log men. It was the best entertainment for everyone. My mom finally cut it down and made it into a large round picnic table in our back yard and the part she cut off she had built into a lounge space in the basement ... covered it with upholstery and made pillows it was amazing. The prices left over she gifted to me to wood burn signs and paint paintings. I sure would love to have one or two here. You are blessed!
I'd get one more and lay it on it's side in the boy's pen for Moody to push around. I bet he'd have a blast!
That’s so cool that the coop offers free things to you, I wonder if we have anything like that here in Sherman Texas
Monday morning smiles! Thank you for starting the week off on the right foot.
I love how Nugget and Mody love playing in their water.
We had a couple of spools like that when I was growing up. I rolled across the yard on them all of the time. So much fun!
You should get some more spools please. I'd love to see them all around your farm. You could even use some bottoms for a floor of a tree house. You're good at making things. Thank you for sharing your family.
Looks like everyone is enjoying their new wire spools. I suggest securing the hay rack to a couple of t posts to prevent the animals from knocking it over. The farm is coming along nicely
Half them and you have great bench, they cost loads in my country, so free, would be amazing. Huge hugs for all animals on the farm 🥰 Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
Always enjoy the videos, staying true to your animals. Love it.
Yes, they make a great picnic table and also a place to feed the birds and squirrels.
The wire spools will be great for the goats , and maybe the other animals will like it too . Moody is great so loving . 💕💕
You can put linseed oil to stop the wood from rotting, and you can put some cider blocks in the containers to stop them spilling.
Your animals are just living their best life. I wish all children could have that kind of love too. 💜
Awww. Ticker sounds like a baby crying. Such a sweet meow.
Jason, you did a great job on this video. I love the edits showing all the animals. Good job.
They are really enjoying their free wire spools. I like the way you two work together, you get things done in no time.
I love watching the interaction y'all have with the animals. God bless you all.
They rot so quick. We put ours up on blocks to keep them off the ground. They last a bit longer that way. 😊
Holy moley! Those're some BIG spools! Just had to come in and state the obvious, but wow! I am impressed, They are BUILT. Mary Carl et al will be enjoying those for DECADES!
Let the choir sing...ROLL TIDE. Love y'all.
That’s great! Everyone looks good and healthy and content! What more could you ask? I love me a good swing too MC!
When I was a little girl, we had one of the smaller spools. My brother's took a few of the boards out of the middle. And I would curl up inside the spool, and my brothers would roll me down a hill:). It was so much fun!!!!
Try putting one spool on its side. We buried one of ours about a foot on its side and they love it. They try to balance on that middle part. 😁 Our others are set up like yours.
Looked like nugget liked getting a good bath while the hose was being used .
Nugget says he could use one of those spools. Then the alarm system could get up there and they could have an eye-to-eye security meeting. It's tough keeping their attention when Nugget is talking over their heads.
IF Y’ALL EVER THROW A PARTY, YOU CAN USE AS STANDUP TABLES! So many uses for those!
glad to see you showing the tilling pigs more, they have grown so much
The spools are a great idea, but I just want to say that Mary Carl is growing up so fast, she is a beautiful young lady.
I’ve seen these used to make dining tables. Good job getting these…multiple uses. These are an awesome find. Animals seem to really enjoy them.
Moody is looking sooo much better than when he first got to the farm, even his horns are looking better!
