***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
The thing I love about your videos is that you give the background and get to the point without rehashing all you are doing over and over again. Your communication skills and experience developed in the corporate world in communicating with people make listening to you a pleasure. Great job.
As a rule, I never plant vegetables or herbs until the maple leaves open. Has never failed me.
Good garden tip!
Might sound funny but one of the things I look forward to in your videos is the “Hey everybodyyyyy!” Brings a smile to my face and lifts my heart every time I hear it :)
Same!! Feels like we're family.
Love it too.
Same! 😁
Ginger ran into the barn behind Sarah's back and I was over here like "QUICK shut the door!!"
I was yelling the same thing..lol.
@@tinaploof8007 🤣🤣🤣
Sar
9:25 We need to get ginger into her side of the barn!
As ginger proceeds to walk in to barn!
That was funny
@@mtak1127 I know, I was trying to tell Kevin to turn around and look!
The most impressive part of this whole adventure... Kevin making it over that cattle panel while holding a huge plate of buttermilk & feed. :)
LOL! I loved it when Sarah got Myrtle to cross the fence line! Sarah - you’re the ‘pig whisperer’ 😁!! You guys are a great team and I enjoy watching your videos and how you care for all things! 🐖 🐖 🐖 🐖
I read his shirt which said "I love bacon". Then I read her shirt which said "Love them anyway." LOL
That caught my eyes too. :)
Same! 😂😂😂👍
Same here.
I love it...you have a "Love Them Anyway" shirt on, and he has "I Love Bacon" shirt on...priorities!
I would love Kevins shirt 😂😃🇭🇲
I was thinking it's a good job pigs can't read 😂
I truly believe that zip ties and baling twine make the farm world go round. Lol
Zip ties make my garden world go round.
Add duct tape and you have our farm
WOW, God knew I need a piglet day and you have me a video full. You have no idea what this took off of my mind! Thanks so much!
The old saying of thunder in February means frost in April. Also when you see the yellow butterflies count 6 to 8 weeks till the weather changes from cold to warm and stays that way. The old ways usually are true.
I just loved watching the piglets running out as if to say.." Yay we are free". too cute.
After I watch the news, which is very depressing, I put on one of your videos and the depression goes away. Thank you!
Exactly right!!
Oh my goodness pig cuteness overload! 🐷🐖🐽🐷🐖🐽
Ginger is getting there, even a couple of piglets came up to Sarah.
The love and respect and patience you give your animals definitely has Gods heart. ❤️
Interesting, patience is key with pigs. Your calm demeanor is so helpful with your animals.
Hmmmmmm. Maybe Mildred is “on the pill” and hasn’t told Momma and Daddy. 😆
Just watching you two, your animals, cooking, gardening and your way of life. Fabulous.
Ginger isnt getting tame because pigs are competative eaters. The pig more willing to come close to you gets the most food. Ginger doesnt have to compete for food so she just waits for you to drop it and get our of the way.
My boys and hubby were the same!😂
What a beautiful day in a beautiful place with beautiful souls...
Beautiful day for moving pigs BUT SNOW this am In Ontario! 6b
"I'm gonna put another post in. I don't think the pigs will complain." 😆😆😆
Make your gates swing both ways and place them so when blocking a laneway they both swing out together to form a fence.
Piglets don't have to compete with mom now for food 👍
You guys are such good parents for the animals it’s made my heart sing to see that congratulation
A suggestion: Your work lane between the pig pens looks useful. If you swapped out the gates for longer ones that would span the lane when opened fully, you could dispense with having to pack the separate hog panel to shut it off. By placing the hinges on opposite sides of each gate, simply swing them across and have the two pens connected until you got through moving pigs. Good job on your channel, well deserved congrats.
I thought the same thing. Switch the hinges, add a longer gate and VOILA! Gate/blockade.
Love these videos. Thx for sharing your lives.
Enjoy how you two do things. Can’t wait for you all start the planting in the gardens.
i love that your shirt says "i love bacon" while you are moving Bacon on the hoof!!!!
Justin Rhodes needs to watch this, so he can visualize how easy it can be to move livestock from one paddock to another!!
@juanita mills your correct, Justin's list of errors is quite long!
I love your videos about the pigs. We are in the research phase of having pigs. And seeing how you handle yours is really educational.
Perhaps Myrtle has had a headache! Lol Here’s hoping baby piglet’s come soon!! ♥️❣️🙏🏼❣️♥️
Good Morning. 27 degrees here in MI and snow yesterday
Good morning, gang!
I cant believe how fast those piglets have grown. Amazing.❤️
You know pigs are the original party animals? Everytime you grab one they let you know they are having fun, they tell you, "Wheee! Wheee, Wheee, Wheee!"
i hope the pigs can't read, you with your I like bacon t shirt on ha ha.. How the piglets have grown and Myrtle enjoying her siesta on her own.. lovely. Poor Charlie didn't want to be on his own again ha ha... Great vlog!
I enjoyed your moving day with pigs and those piglets are too cute!!🐖🐖💕
Have a blessed day you guys!!
You’re fun to watch.
Bacon, head cheese, pulled pork, ribs, pickled pigs feet, ham, joules, cracklings, lard. Love your pig episodes.
Its interesting to see how pigs are raised in a wholesome environment. They do not like wallowing in their own excrement. They are clean animals.
Never thought I would enjoy watching pigs this much. Thank you, you make my day !
God Love y'all you work soo hard God Bless.
I hope the weaning process isn't too loud ... remember to stay safe and stay blessed
FYI: I've seen newborn piglets go through a sheep & goat fence. Being newborns especially, momma was very aggressively trying to get to them. I would put either another strip of fence or pig fence on the bottom of your gate before the other mom has her piglets. It can save you a lot of stress and possibly a emergency situation.
Of course Ginger is scared, she read your t-shirt, Kevin 😂 🥓 🐷
You gave me my first laugh of the day when Myrtle finished eating and was taking her beauty nap. Poor thing. You had to wake her up
You never know when a nap is gonna happen!
Sarah: love people
Kevin: love bacon
Match made in heaven.
🤣😂 Y'all are the cutest!
😂 when I lived in Wisconsin usually safe to put the tomatoes on Memorial Day. I also used the “individual green house method” however, storing 70ish bottomless milk jugs for 350+ days a year provided its own entertainment and challenges 🤣
I love how patient and kind you are with your animals
Charlie & his Wallow of Perpetual Love.
You are absolutely correct in recognizing how smart pigs are. This is just the first year for 'rotation'. Easier next year if you don't modify anything. And by year 3 it will be routine.
You did a great job on moving the pigs. I love your setup.
Mildred...”was it something I said?”
I like the way you two work together. (As it should be.)
Mildred and Charlie like chillin together. Aww.
The piglets are still so cute!!! Aawwwhhh :)
Hey guys , thanks a lot - a job well done. We all know who's in charge. Thanks for mentioning Him.
Appropriate shirt for the day Kevin! Awesome video guys.
Thank you for inviting me into your work day. It was pleasant. 🤗. Have a great day!
Momma Pig: Glad the kids went away to camp! Now she can chill out in peace 😁🐷 Piglets are Adorable! You have such laid back critters it seems. Just be glad you are not here in the "Granite State" as it is literally hit or miss finding ground with no rock to pound stakes into. Stay warm and thank you for sharing all this with us. Peace.
Same by me with rocks. The rocks multiply exponentially. Clear a bed one season, all good. Try to put in stakes the following year and bang!
I was thinking the same. I live near Nixa MO and there is no way you could pound a post in our ground. When we dug a hole, we would get almost a bucket of rocks. We had to buy dirt to fill around the plant.
Hi, I do love the Pigs they are so funny.
Tah dah, And now for the finale, entering piglet number one, followed quickly by piglet number two , the third piglet soon after, number four racing into the limelight while the tail end brought up by piglet number five. Applause,applause and bow out .
You made pig rearranging look too easy! 🐷🐽
We have now all completed the course on "Pig Relocation 101". There will be
a final exam on Saturday. If you feel the need to refer back to this video to
complete the exam, that is totally acceptable. 😊
Food is the key.
Those little piglets are as cute as they come!
I "got fooled" a bit with the warmer weather. I have a small garden in pots, mostly a salad mix (spinach, red leaf lettuce and romaine). I have a few herbs and a few cherry tomato plants (seeded themselves from last year) that I need to cover because we have a freeze warning tonight near Nashville TN. Hope they all survive.
Yes it pays to have a gate instead of electric fence where you move the pigs .good that you got some more gates . God bless 🥰👍
You guys are doing so great! It's so fun to watch all the doings on the farm in the spring! My friend's 6 year old daughter asked me, "Won't Charlie be lonely all by himself? He and Mildred like each other a lot." :-)
Every time you said Mildred. I turn my head ..... 😂 😂 😂
WHEEE!!! A PIG-MOVING JOB WELL DONE!!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! (AND IT SHOWS BY THE WELL-PLANNED WAY YOU RUN YOUR HOMESTEAD!!! ) ONWARD AND UPWARD!!!!
You inspire my husband and I. We can't wait to get our homestead going, but until then we practice on our current property
Same thing here, I have learned so much from them, I can't wait to get on my own property so I can start my homestead.
So cute little piggies!
We had snow last night. No warm weather crops transplanted out until after Mother's day is a rule for us.
Thank you Kevin & Sarah. Top video :) ( shared to f/b ) God Bless you all in Love.
Love pigs-Many, MANY years ago, I won awards while on the FFA Swine Chain. Also at our local animal auction, the auctioneer advertised a couple weeks ahead of time whenever I was going to bring in Weaner/Feeder pigs-he always got me the highest prices for my gentled pigs. I surely wish I could get back in to raising pigs again. I am so loving the IPP’s! I had mainly Durocs back then. I’m 61 now-so 4H & FFA was over 40 years ago!!!
I don’t plant here until after the 1st of June we have 27 degree here every night. Last frost is towards the end of May; 1st frost is usually mid September!
The baby pigs are adorable. I really like the pattern on the one with the most spots!
We raised hogs for years guys. If you put feed in a bucket and shake it at them they'll follow you for any distance. Usually. Lol You guys are the best. I enjoy you all more than any other shows. God Bless💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘😘😘😘
Guy’s, you two are some of the hardest working people I know ♥️♥️ I love watching y’all so much ♥️♥️
I love the red piglet with the black spots. It is such a sweet pretty pig.
My husband is in Missouri for work and it was snowing yesterday and he was not happy coming from NC with warm weather 😂.. But yes the key to pigs is having a lot of patience, I love pigs..
We have a row of tomatoes ,here in Calif. The peas will like the break in the weather. We will not be getting as cold but held off on our plantings until late next week. We will be building tomato supports instead.
Our Greenhouse is being delivered Monday. So excited! GOD bless
Great video, folk. Down here in East Texas we also are experiencing uncommonly cool weather [pretty hard on an old 75 year old retired GI, but just as you - we're dealing with it. Blessings to you all.
Love to watch yalls videos. Your wife is so sweet and you both work right together.
I respect you guys for what you've become and love your content.
I don't eat mammals ... I gave it up 20 years ago because of the horrendous conditions of factory farming and their rushed & sloppy slaughters. The animals, who should've been treated well from beginning to end for their sacrifice in order to feed us, were treated disgustingly. It's been so long now that I won't be going back but I could raise feeder chickens and have a cow for milk but unfortunately age and physical issues has limited me to some food gardening and layer hens. I sure wish I'd have known about your kind of homesteading 30 years ago.
Love you two 🐄🌱🐖🌱🐗🌱🐔
Good morning Kevin and Sarah, you both did a great job today. You got the T- BERRY SHUFFLE done in good time and great shape. Looks great around there, hope this cold front doesn’t do any damage to your crops, still a dangerous planting time. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
What a wonderful family and homestead ❤️🇭🇲
Here a pig there a pig every where a pig pig! thanks for sharing!
I love seeing the pigs! Ginger is the name of our dog
OMG Charlie has grown huge!
Great transition with the pigs... I was so excited when my youngest daughter called me yesterday and told me that she had just purchased 2 pigmy goats from a friend of mine... she so much like me and I’m glad to share things that y’all do with her so that she has an easier time handling different animals...those piglets are going to grow like weeds now💚🌱💚
Awww, they look at you so trusting..
Love pigs 🐷. Great job in the separation and everything looks great.
I love how tidy you keep your homestead!
Sweet, you have those pigs trained. God bless.
Great message . . . 1 Peter 4:8. That's a nice sweat shirt, Ma'am! God bless you!
In Charlottes Web, a children’s book, Charlotte calls this “cupboard love”. They love who feeds them. 🌻
..."Oink !!,...Oink !!"....Love watching you guys with all your porkers!!.... Great Stuff !!...."Stay Warm'!!..Ha.!!
Love seeing the pigs.
The pigs are looking very good. That is definitely a very docile breed. Looking forward to seeing more videos. 🍀
Those were some smooth moves❤️🐷🐽🐖
First! Plus love your channel guys, keep up the great work
Yes, I'm in Ohio and we got 5" of snow last night!
