dude! your friend mose has WAY too much spare time! but: it's brilliant! i would follow him but he says specifically not to do that. i dare not!
Little man is getting so big 😍 🤗
I followed him anyway (cause I realy liked the video)....I am a bit of a rebel! 😊
@@vincraft991 shhhh, yeah me too! lol
I watched the video from Mose. Not what I was expecting but a very creative individual. I sent to 5 others here in Pennsylvania to watch.
I admire how you've incorporated your little man Ivar into your day to day work. He's being taught to work hard and focus on the things that matter in this life. You two should get parent-of -the-year awards!
You love your son and he has a beautiful life. We all see how happy he is to be out with his Dad in the fields. Glad Mom is nursing still. What a wonderful life!
your film did it again. Before, I was stressed , and now after watching, I feel relaxed and happy. Thank You :)
Me too
Yes❣
Same!!
Me too!!
In most sheep raising countries, ram lambs are neutered at a couple of week old. You get a device called an elastrator and some tiny fat green rubber bands. Slide the band over the teeth of the elastrator, squeeze the handle to stretch the band and slide it over the scrotum, making sure the teats are outside the band. The whole thing will drop off in about 2 weeks, having shriveled up like a raisin from lack of blood supply. This is how flocks of wool producing sheep are all run together with no fighting and no inbreeding.
Also the meat will taste milder and not so overpowering. Oh and I think the word you were looking for is castrated
This is a video showing you what you what they are talking about, as far as castration, by Blue Cactus Dairy Goats
ua-cam.com/video/9lluEQo2a8E/v-deo.html
I do this with our sheep and goats, very easy, but I find it takes about a month for everything to fall off. You also need to make sure the rubber band is not too close to the abdomen - you want to snug it down on top of the testicles and push them to the bottom of the sac, then put the band on top of them and ease if off. If you have it too close to the belly, it can leave open gaps in the abdominal skin and can be nasty and can cause death. So making sure you don't get abdominal skin, only the sac skin, is essential.
But this is VERY easy. I do this at about 4 weeks of age. One person holds the lamb or kid up in the air with the legs facing you so you have easy access, and you can band in about 2 minutes or less. No worries about inbreeding, and no male aggressiveness with each other. One big happy family ;)
This practice of banding male lambs is illegal in the Netherlands as it is considered to cause unnecessary suffering.
@@cstone5220 Obviously, those who legislated that, have never bothered to WATCH a flock of lambs prancing about and playing within an hour of being banded. Dumb people who don't know the first thing about animal husbandry, have no business making laws to govern it.
Oh my goodness ! He's walking !!!! Oh my !!!!
Banding
As with tail docking, there are many techniques that can be used to castrate ram lambs. The easiest and most common method of castration is the rubber ring or band. Using an elastrator tool (or ring extender), the band is placed above the testicles, around the neck of the lamb's scrotum. Care should be taken not to place the band over the lamb's rudimentary teats. Banding will cause the testicles and scrotum to shrivel up and fall off in a few weeks. As with docking, the shriveled scrotum may be removed before it falls off. Both testicles must be below the placement of the band. If one testicle is missed, it will be retained in the belly cavity, resulting in a "bucky" lamb that will have male characteristics.
Castration by banding causes some pain to the lamb, but the pain is generally short-lived. Lambs should be castrated at a young age, preferably between 1 and 7 days of age. Castation in the first 24 hours may interfere with bonding and colostrum intake and is not recommended. As with tail docking, pain can be reduced if a clamp (using Burdizzo) is applied immediately before or after application of the ring.
Some veterinarians advocate the use of lidocaine to reduce the pain felt by the lamb; however, lidocaine is not available for purchase over-the-counter. The new Numnuts® tool provides pain relief at the same time it bands. As with banding tails, lambs should be protected against tetanus via passive immunity or use of the tetanus anti-toxin at the time of castration.
I love how you never use clickbait to attract more views. As always a delightful movie.
the last Shot, all of you in the blue shirt, the sunlight and the green Grass, it looked just sooo beautiful xD
Beautiful people, beautiful land, beautiful parents and child! You nurture my soul this morning and bring me closer to God. Thank you!🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🌲🌲🌲
Ivar is soooooo cute. Classic little Swedish/Finn !!!!! Take care leaving him with rams. My daughter received a heavy head butt in the back which scared her quite a bit.
No quiero repetirme pero es que amo vuestra forma de vida, la valoro y os aplaudo. Le ofrecéis a vuestro pequeño Ivar , la posibilidad de tener una infancia feliz, segura, saludable...Es maravilloso veros. Sois una inspiración para todos nosotros/as. Bellos colores de la vida que llega. Pero es que quizás es demasiado trabajo, vivir, criar un hijo, procurar vuestro sustento en la granja y además editar las imágenes que nos traéis. Comprendo que estaréis agotados. Besitos para Ivar y que se mejore el pobrecito del 'accidente'. Bravo!!!!
He's walking!! Go Ivar, soo cute. I'm so sorry for your boo boo Ivar glad it was nothing serious. Take care you guys♥️
I have found the easiest way to castrate rams is banding the testicles. It isn't painful for them, doesn't leave an open wound. The testicles just shrivel and fall off. Thanks for sharing through even in your young parent exhaustion phase.
yes and they wil drop off in the shed, you will think its your daughters barbies purse, then to your horror you'll realize what it is and give it a fling! hahahaha
Wow, Ivar is walking and starting to talk. He is growing quickly and he has a wonderful place to grow up in. I love the meals you prepare and Iove your life style, I wish I knew about that when I was younger. I tried to convince my husband, when he was alive, to let us have a Farm but he was a City person. My home is in Canada, but because if the Pandemic and travel restrictions I have not yet been able to return. I always grew lots of Vegs in my backyard. It is so rewarding. I also live your Videos, they are so very beautiful. Keep them coming. God Bless.
wow the most real and genuine couple on the net, at last REAL PEOPLE, loved it, cheers" all the best, MINT".
Beautiful videos. Artful photography, and truth of the story of everyday life that is very heart warming and hopeful. Such a joy to watch! Thank you!
I love how you honor your son with your parenting style, it is a gift to all of you as a connected family. Longterm breastfeeding is a bond that lasts a life time. I have a 31 year old son who is loving and close and supportive to me in every way, yet he has his own life and is very successful. He is also very healthy. I breastfed him till he was 4 years and 2 months. My mother was appalled. "That boy will never grow up and go to college" she used to bemoan. Ha! Sorry Mom, you were wrong. Keep it up you three, it is my honor to support you through Patreon, and the recent GoFundMe window campaign, so glad is was successful. Take your time making those window decisions, they are a biggy. Big Hugs and much love from Northern California.
Great Vlog ! Sorry for what happened to Ivar. Hope it heals fast ! Your Vlog always helps me to reduce my stress and anxiety level wich was pretty high those days. Take care of yourself my friends.
Ivar is losing his baby face and looks like a little boy now, growing up so fast! Your summer looks beautiful. I imagine the air so clean and crisp. I love your life and thank you for sharing with us♥️. Our Spring has been crazy too.
He has gotten so big , such a big boy. Beautiful Boy.
In the US, we absolutely castrate rams. As a kid, that was one of my jobs on our farm. I did all the young calves and sheep. We used a device that had 4 "prongs" sticking up, you put a very tight "rubber band" around the prongs, squeeze the handle and it opens up. Place it around the top of the scrotum, a bit away from the body, and let the pressure off the handle. Simply cutting off the circulation to the scrotum and it falls off. Very effective, takes just a few minutes.
she speaks to her father. magnifique.thank you .
Your son is so lucky to grow up with you in this way. I love to see his curiosity and his involvement in your daily chores. I offer you all my respect for how hard you work to live your dreams and goals.
I love watching videos of your daily life! So interesting and beautiful. What a beautiful family you have! You should both be proud of all you have accomplished. ❤️
Great video! So so cold there at this time of the year. Hopefully the worst of the cold has passed and winter will begin to lose it's icy grip on your farm. As farmers we know how the list of things needing done continues to grow no matter the weather. Thank you for sharing your life with us all.
Tusen tack för ännu en underbar video från er del av värden. Ni verkar leva i harmoni med naturen och djuren., långt från städernas brus och stress. Ni säkert en arbetsam vardag med många utmaningar men ni verkar lugna båda två så ni löser era bekymmer på det vis ni själva hittar. Stor kram från Småländska Höglandet.💙💜💛🧡💚
Ivar is a very patient little fellow......not much crying there!!
you guys are so calm n
very peaceful to watch ..
especially tova she is at peace with herself.. ❤️
when mathias speak it feels like he is in a confused state.. thinking about lot of things .. 😂
and needless to say baby is very cute 🥰 all the very best guys.. lots of love 💕
Lovely to watch this beautiful family grow together in the forest! Hopefully it will get warmer and sunny! Sweet Ivar is soo happy! Wonderful that mom breastfeeds him! Blessings!
Just to let you know I’m thinking of you and hoping all is well at you and your family and the homestead … 🙏☘️😘
This child is living the best life. 💛
Amazing that Ivar isn't ripping his gloves off to grab things, my kids hated being dressed up when outside.
Gorowing up in a cold place he’s probably used to wearing layers of clothes most of the time.
Hello! The best wishes from Ukraine 🇺🇦 My son Ivan (he is 4 years old) likes to watch your videos and he likes your son. He tells that he is very cute. ❤️
Hey. Family.!!!🥰🥰🥰
Everything will work out.👍👍👍
Bless you guys.😇😇😇
Precious blessings of peace and love.

Hi....I am Joanne from Florida USA ......Doug wife.....I watch your videos alot....they are wonderful and I find it so relaxing...emotional for me....sometimes I cry...My Matilda Westerberg was from Norrbotton....I hope Im a paton....we sent in info ....Thank you so much....Best Wishes and hope for your success in all you do ..>Love to Ivar .....Mathias and Tova....
I am a grandmother from Florida US. I hsve finished binging your channel. What a wonderful and beautiful experience. Not only are you planting seeds in your garden, you are planting seeds in the soul of your child and future children the love and care of the magnificant forests. With all my love from your newest Patreon
Look at your beautiful son walking!! Good for you Ivar!!!!👏🏻💙☺️
I just love watching you all...you guys are so true and simple people and the lil one is sooooooo sooooo cute....god bless you all and may you succeed in whatever you guys are making .....luv you all 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
Love to see Ivar is walking and smiling 😍❤️
Ivar looks alot like his mommy...so cute.
yay!! Ivar is walking, almost running! Who needs a lawnmower when you have a sheep grazing on the new spring grass. :)
Amazing as always. Ivar is growing so fast; I love the way he is with you during the day to day chores. Thanks for sharing. I always look forward to the next video.
It's such a joy watching your vlogs 😊 The start with little Ivar running across was wonderful. He will soon be out exploring and I'm sure helping you both put with small chores. Did I see Frasse back home after the cat's adventures in the village 🤗 Tova you are doing a brilliant job with your garden, I'm sure it will produce a good crop for you this year. Don't worry about Ivar's finger I'm sure he will just fine. When I was a baby my sister shut my hand in a door and I lost half my little finger 😁 keep safe and look after yourselves 💚💚
Yes, you have a keen eye! Frasse was home for a bit, it was nice to meet him. But since two days ago he is away again. We wonder what he is up to...
@@Talasbuan I think he has a girlfriend lol 💕 Any sign of Krösamaja 😏
Wonderful look 8nto a family in Sweden. Thank you.
Glad the boys finger survived and good to see him walking!
I love your videos! I think what you are doing is so wonderful. I wish i could live that way, it seems so peaceful. I'm sure it's alot of work, but I can't think of a better way of making a living. The problem with our society is that people have learned to be so dependent on the material things so they have to go to work and make money to spend on more material things to keep them alive. Also, mentally what you are doing is so healthy, that is the way god intended for us to live. Thank you! I get peace watching your videos.
Hola que rudos estaban esos borregos 🤭pero que bello es vivir en medio de la naturaleza 🌿🏡🥰
Its been odd weather all around for us too. I live in the U.S .A in New Hampshire and we did not have a spring to speak of . The weather was quite cold we had some rain then it just started in to summer today was 35.555 degrees Celsius today and it has been hot for days now.
That's about 96 degrees Fahrenheit which is usual weather for summer but it is still spring here.
I have been reading about global weather patterns changing from tropical areas getting lower temperatures to the swiss alps getting warmer , the arctic getting warmer.
When I was a child growing up in New England here in the United States of America spring was always around 55 to 65 degrees F. rain and fairly cool. the past 7 or so years has been no spring and very high temperatures through spring and even worse in the summer time.
I also wanted to say I love the cinematography in your videos. I am of the opinion that your country specifically where you live is an absolutely Gorgeous place to live and raise a family.
Thank you for the great content, stay safe and God Bless!!!!!
Catching up again. I’ve spent the past month with my Mama. It was a great break. Thank you!
Your little child is growing up in a wonderful place. Close to nature,
So nice to see you with a green background😃🙋♀️ beautiful😍
Castration of lambs and baby goats is made easy by a tool that helps you put a very tight rubber band around the base of the testicles when the animal is very young. After about 10 days, with the circulation cut off, the testicles just fall off...no muss, no fuss.
Yes we do that here in New Zealand and for tailing as well. Numnuts is a product that injects a painkiller at the same time as the band is put on. Maybe a group of you could buy one and share it between you all? Then you won’t have ram problems and you can select the best ram to breed from?
Should be mandatory family health care procedure within the Trump dynasty
@@canyonhaverfield2201 You should consider not hating so much...your life would be much more satisfying.
@@retaylor6587 this stems from being compassionately alive. I dont hesitate for a moment to exude humor as well as my eagerness to bring the bring light upon the Trump family's corrupt family past. If your on that bandwagon of his narrowly focused compatriots who cling to there shallow words & Holiness..I get it.
@@canyonhaverfield2201 Perhaps you should look up the definition of "humor", because your sad attempt was a failure....This is not the place for politics, but I understand that your shallow one dimensional personality cannot perceive that. TTFN.
I thank you for sharing your lives with us. You are living the best life. 🙂
I am always eager to see the little one............Higs for Iver......
He’s walking he’s so cute 🥰 just love your guys ❤️from 🇺🇸 CA
Put buckets of water in your greenhouse. The sun heats the water, at night the heat will go to the plants.
Thank you for the new video. He is a big boy already wow time fly so fast.
i really enjoy listening to all your birds! lovely. ❤️❤️
Ba, ba, Ba - so cute from Ivar
Awwww, Such happiness Thru & Thru. I Truely love u guys, yr 1 hard core Family in many ways. The very best is u touch many hearts of America..🕊🌻🌹🌻🐝🐍🦋🐋
All the sights and sounds of the forest that your son is growing up with will be something he will treasure always. We’ve had a colder than usual spring here as well for the past few years, the climate has definitely changed very noticeably all over the US in particular this past year. Thank your for another really beautiful video!
your poor little wood fence has the droopsies..... I made that word up.
It is always such a pleasure to get my email announcing a new video. It is an honor to support this beautiful family, and the work you do. Watching your videos is relaxing and informative. I was told that one of the best gifts we can give ourselves is to find something that turns up the corner of ones mouth - to smile, in other words. 🙂, and your videos certainly accomplish this. Than you again. Much love from Southern Oregon!🌲❤️
Så fina videon alltid av duktiga, fina ni 🤗🌹❤️🙏🍀💕🐿️🐾👍 Stor kram på er alla 💕🤗
Absolutely splendid music and a wonderful video of a high standard . So look forward to these , highlight of my week . And the little princeling is walking : )
Amazing freedom off-grid lifestyle. Love it.
Thanks for the great video. I know how hard it can be when your baby gets hurt. Ivar is such a happy bright little fellow, he seems to take it all in his stride. He watches you both so carefully, Im sure he will be helping with the chores in no time. The one thing I learned from designing and building houses is that it takes three times as long and costs three times as much as you think it will. A good sense of humour is key.
I love your channel and the love the tranquility, peace and the beautiful nature around you.My motto is to live simple and simplify your life. Your family have demonstrate that and your
son is so adorable.
So cute to see that little man walking. Looks like you guys are very busy as usual. Sorry Ivar got hurt. Enjoyed thanks
Hello from So. California. I'm new to your relaxing channel. It's nice to get a peak into your little off-grid farm & the challenges you face.
The traditional Navajo or Dine' people here in the U.S. state of Arizona might be a good source of information on how to tend sheep. Traditional Navajo often live very sparce, off-grid lives as well. It's interesting how they tend their flocks, shear wool & process the wool naturally to make beautiful rugs.
"Navajo Grandma," on UA-cam would be a good channel to start discovering how people live on the Navajo Nation; simply & with Nature.
Well done video, Thank You!
As I told you in a previous message you can nurture ram lambs with rubber bands put on with a special band expander also used for tails. Regards Maggie
Back 60 yrs ago the farmers in New Zealand would rubber band the testicle bag of male lambs along with their tails. This would neuter the rams and they'd be called wethers not rams. The tails drop off also. Not sure if this is still done in today's farming though. If you search LAMB CASTRATION on Duck Duck Go they demonstrate 3 methods of castrating male lambs. One being the rubber ring I spoke of above. You only require one tool and some rubber rings to do this method of castration (at 2-4wks old) and tail docking also. A good time to invest in the tool if it's almost lambing season now , you will ne able to do this years males. All the best. Lovely to see your wee lad running around now. Life will never be unbusy again until your grandkids are all grown up. I'm at that stage now. Only one 13yr old grkid still at home . They don't live as close now so I don't see him him very often. So ENJOY EVERY MOMENT WITH THEM. At the start it seems like 20-30 yrs is a long time but in reality it goes by quite fast and there's still a lot of living to do between ages 60 -85yrs. LOL
Everything is beautiful.
Great work! Family and friends working together…
Oh my goodness he's walking !!!!!
Hello from 🇨🇦
Your boy is growing so beautifulyl.. he was so proud helping Mom in the little garden 😊 It's going to be a wonderful Summer with him this year as he is able to get around ☺️ Have yous looked into banding your rams... Because they are older you might need a vet to help it's abit tricky with bigger testicles to get through the band..I'm sure it would be less costly than neautering... Maybe there is an elder who could help with that. God's Continual Blessings to you all 🙏😇💝
Ivar is almost running... Your videos are fresh air in my face!
Your tomatoplants lokk like they have grown in too much warmth with not enough light. If you raise them colder, they will become much lower but stronger and thicker. I let mine raise in the greenhouse as long as it is not freezing cold the whole day. A few hours of freezing temperatures outside in the early morning will not harm them in the greenhouse. If it is colder for a longer time, I take them inside. Tomatos can take quite a cold without being harmed. I once forgot mine outside on a table an they were completely covered in snow when I found them the next morning. they all survived.
Greetings from Texas! Wonderful video! You were missed... Hope to see more this summer.
Det är härligt att följa er all lycka till.
Oh my god, he can walk... So funny.. And i'm proud of you :) Little cute guy :)
Ivar growing up so fast..he is so cute and easy baby..beautiful life style especially covid 19 is all over the world nw..we are stuck in the house..watch this vlog at least make my stress release a bit..tq..
It was so nice to hear from you again. I am so sorry for the cold spring.
Here in Canada we are having lo of everything. Sun ,rain,but it so nice to be outside.
Wishing you a wonderful summer.🇨🇦😊
Yeheyyy handsome Ivar is walking now. you're loved little boy.💕
I cannot believe how fast Ivar is growing...You two are such wonderful parents... Enjoy your summer.
Will check out the Mose video. So sweet to see Ivar crawling around the landscape. Good luck to you with the lambs and the gardens! You are a beautiful family. Love from Canada.
tack skälva att ni delar med er av era liv så mycke
So good to see you 3. Ivar is walking good. Hated to hear he hurt his finger. Hope it heals quickly. Everyone seems to be putting in gardens. The Ewes & the Rams are getting along.
I loved seeing the new chicks. Glad for Spring to finally get here.
Oh God, how impatient I am to see something new from you, you beautiful family. You bring me so much joy! Oh you all are so blessed. 🥰✨❤️
I wonder about the tree, (apple tree if I remember good) where you putted the placenta under it. Did it survived the winter? 🥺
I sincerely love you cause you really change my spirit emotions in positive feelings.
My much beloved grandma passed away not long ago and pain is fresh but after watching your wonderful video life documentary, it changes me.
Thank you,
with love Pety. 🙏🏼💖
We're sorry to hear about your loss.
The apple tree survived! So that feels great. Thank you so much for your kind words!
Matias how are you feeling? Videos back u were experiencing being tired no energy and unexplained.
Much better! Thank you for asking. It still goes upp and down. But if I keep to my diet I'm much beter.
/Mathias
Do you have 'super glue' in Sweden? It was created for the army to seal wounds on the battle field. I recently sliced my finger badly, while sharpening a scythe and I glued it together with super glue. You would be hard pressed to even see the scar. It is very good to keep on hand for accidents when you live in the wilds.
It is wonderful for our animals too and is a must have on any homestead.
Thank you Tova, Mathias and Ivar for another beautiful post sharing your life with us! I realize that these posts are heavily edited and real life is not easy especially where you are or without conflict, but you have such a peaceful soothing,amazingly calming way of communicating through your videos. I think I could listen to you for hours. As someone said in the comments I feel relaxed and happy after watching you. Again thanks so much for radiating the sincere warmth, humbleness, wisdom and gentleness through your posts.
Yep. Your early spring weather was rotten. It looks sunny and warm, now. Enjoyed the video, as usual Thanks for the attention and time you take to make these wonderful videos.
Hello from India 🇮🇳
Oh poor Ivar! Hope he gets better very soon. Thanks for sharing another beautiful video. ATB : )
Thank you!
Watch a video on banding the sheep. Works great. Very cheap
When you band them at only a couple days old, they dont even feel it. But you can purchase the tool, and the bands, then in the future always be able to solve this problem. I believe u can band at any age aswell
