So glad the baby cow and Flossy are doing so well together I know they are all happy to be with the full heard ❤️ So excited for your vacation but lots of preparation. Sending love to all the family and little snowball 🌹
I'm so happy you guys wear gloves stacking the firewood, because anybody in the south that's ever had a pile of firewood knows its where black widows overwinter.
Thanks for yet another great upload. We are all ready now for Arun’s farm videos once ya’ll go on vacation. Keep up the great work. Appreciating all your efforts.
I’m sure you already knew this, but you are living the dream! I’m 22 years old, living in an apartment and I work at a nursing home, the goal is to homestead like you! Keep up the amazing work, we are all rooting for the Rhodes!!
Dear Jonah and Josiah, I know your parents are so completely proud of you and your new venture together! You are both doing a fantastic job. I am 73 years old, and I"M following you too! Amazing! I taught for 40 years, and I have a very long list of children who could have benefitted from wonderful parents like you have. I'm so glad you treat them so well. Can't wait to hear about your next adventures! Just a thought....I bet you would enjoy the "Soup" books like Soup and Me, Soup,etc. Interestingly enough, both boys that are the main characters in these books grew up to become ministers--after all of their antics! The author is Robert Newton Peck. Enjoy!!!!
You don't need firewood racks. I stack mine by crosshatching the ends. That means you stack every other layer at right angles to the one below it. I have stacked firewood up to six feet between the two crosshatched ends and haven't had any problems. Been doing it that way for fifty years.
👍👍👍. A lot of successes in one day preparing for vacation. Always had hopes up that I’d get it all done so could rest up before leaving. It’s a dream still today even though there’s only two of us. Things keep popping up making it still a hopeful dream one day. Coming home from all that fun and rest seeing all that wood waiting to warm the home will be the best thing to see. Of course still need to keep the pile going just don’t have to break your back doing it now. Still need to find another place for kids to play in some sand and not the kitty’s. My kids found out really fast to cover it as final chore or they’d find gifts that was yucky next day. Aunt Flossie is really loving on her calf making the little one go wild while running. Hope she careful and not bumped into that bull or a tree. Ours had knocked itself out and was laying with legs in odd position. Thought she was dead but momma ran to lick it awake and then she was mooing like scolding it. Funniest thing to see. Got to give your little one a name. “Braveheart” fits cuz she never stopped loving on her new momma. Just kept trying even though she may have got a few bruises. Finally Flossie’s heavy heart felt the love this brave calf kept trying to give. One very loving and BRAVE calf for sure. All you needed was to have some patience cuz the heart will always win even if it took longer than so many said. Ya just have to let the sadness of loss take its time. This calf is doing a “happy” dance cuz she knows she’s filled Flossie’s heart with joy. Soon she’ll learn to take the stand to be milked just so long she can see the little one. Patience it will take once again and a lot of praise. Yep count the numbers of your beautiful herd and be proud for the valuable lessons you’ve learned too. Happy cows.....Happy Farmer. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We use these for some of our cords. The older versions were fantastic, and while we're still content with the newer ones, I wish I'd got a few more of the originals. We have wood piles in different areas and different states of curing as well.
Just wondering if you have seen Richard Perkins who is a permaculture farmer who just butchered a cow and showed the process in bagging it and making ground beef. I believe they are European. I’m so happy Flossie is doing so good. Stay safe.
A group buzy bees getting lots of done be for it get any colder hopefuly not lol I hope your time way from home will be very nice for you all in nice sunny place if can go any place with sickness being so bad every where please be careful justin and family
You may need to just let Flossie and Calf bond longer before you start taking Calf off at night. She just bonded with her so may be worth the wait. Just a thought. Yes you do have to train her to milk in field but Flossie needs time to adjust. God Bless and Peace Be With You All
Oh yaayyy!! Flossy loves her baby finally! Great job in perseverance Justin!!
Love it how miss Flossy has taken to the calf now
That wood rack is great. So happy for that baby. She has a mommy now.
That Calf warms my heart everyday at the moment 🥰
What a great smile Lillie!

Oh, that boy is in for it. Booted from the nest he has been in for so long. Poor baby.
Many hands make quick work.
Just watched Rhodesbros, great work tell them!

Awesome 👏 😀great job done
Happy to see the herd united again and also accepting the calf! You guys have a name for her yet?
Commenting for support
Good work
We used to pack the stacks a lot tighter together in Maine when I was growing up. A lot of wasted space between those stacks.
Justin you are the man! If you were able to break Flossy, you can do anything! She is a though one. I wasn’t hopeful at all!
You don't need the brackets. Just use stainless steel wood screws and pressure treated 2x4's to build the frames. Will last 3 times longer.
Dunnage is the term for the wood scraps keeping your rack off the ground.
Just wondering if you have seen Richard Perkins who is a permaculture farmer who just butchered a cow and showed the process in bagging it and making ground beef. I believe they are European.
I’m so happy Flossie is doing so good. Stay safe.
How come I never get a vacation, yet you do? Guess I need a farm.
I'm fixin to make a rack out of pallets under our back porch and some old barn tin. Them metal brackets look right nice though. Very convenient
Personally I would have put the stack/rows MUCH Closer..Actually touching each other.
Each stack supports the other.
Loved the video happy for her to be back in with the herd again. What did u name the little calf yet.
I never understood the buying of a firewood rack. All those trees and saplings on your property. The logs leftover from cutting wood itself.
Have you ever thought about hydro power with that steam running through your property. an Idea. Would be great content also
I'm . love cow's
A group buzy bees getting lots of done be for it get any colder hopefuly not lol
I hope your time way from home will be very nice for you all in nice sunny place if can go any place with sickness being so bad every where please be careful justin and family

Just make your own with cinderblocks
Jonah could have designed that for you.
You just need some 2x4's and screws
Do you buy firewood or cut it yourself
Takes us 2 weeks to vacay-prep too, and we don't even have animals!
1:06 if we all work together 🤣🤣🤣 do your part JUSTIN lol🤣🤣🤣
Did flossy have trouble getting her horns in the new stanchion
I see more and more of the homesteaders buying instead of making.
Does Amazon really need the advertisement? Support local independents and high street stores!
Are Jonah and Josiah twins?
:)
