Bossy Pig, Billy the Boar, and Brownie have become “regulars” on the videos. Like other viewers, I will miss them and their unique personalities. I realize that farming is a business and pigs are not pets; but if I could I’d buy them and let them live out their days. Thank you, Pete, for sharing!
On my 78th birthday, I must say that I have never met a successful farmer that has not had a willing helpmate by his or her side. Love your videos and my hat is off to Hilary. We need to see more of your beautiful partner. Such a becoming smile. So patient in listening to your "dad jokes." Please keep the videos coming.
I was more worried about you and Hilary than the animals or tractors the wife and I were just talking about how few videos you were putting out,it doesn't matter what you video just keep us informed on your well being another good video stay safe and God bless
I watch big seed and beef farmers and they spend time fixing fences and equipment, hauling grains and looking up the weather. Your smaller scale allows for time with the animals and fixing and restoration. Much more fun. Less stress. Much less debt too.
It’s working! It’s working! The water is working!!! 💦 Thank you so much for bringing us back to the farm animals today. I really missed the cattle, the pigs, and the chickens! 🐄🐖🐓 I know you gotta keep up the maintenance of your farm equipment, and you display fabulous workmanship. You have a wonderful hobby. But I get lost in all that mechanical tech stuff. 🚜 So, today, I was so thrilled to see an update on your farm. Thank you. 😊
The fall retraction of choirs. It comes with snow but gives you restoration time in the warm shop. I look forward to the Holidays with hot chocolate with the grandchildren and all their winter activities. Thank you Pete and Hillary for sharing life with us.
It is funny how we worked so hard to get the high level education and obtained good paying jobs but what we really want is to just have a quiet corner of the world where we can grow our own food and enjoy a quiet life. At this point I am considering giving up the fancy cell phone and going back to the basic cell phone. I absolutely love your videos. So soothing for the soul. Thank you.
So sad no piglets. One would have though Brownie and Bossie had both been bred. Billy appeared to go thru the motions. I’m glad they’re going to get another chance.
Apparently youbmissed the part where he said they were QLL going to be butchered. The 2 have a 2nd chance if they get piglets but even then it sounds like after that they are gone too.
Hey Pete! Hopefully Billy works out for you. If not, maybe I can put him out on pasture with JJ's offspring to give him another chance. Hopefully you still have my contact info. Jennie and I would love to show you the progress we've made on our small farm since you were here last. If you're ever in the area, please feel free to stop in. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Best farm channel out here no-show boating just a family of 4 showing it can be done with a lot of hard work. And a lot of love for each other and there an animal great learning channel Thanks. 😃
Pete, I replaced my hand Post Driver with a gas powered unit. At 60, this Geezer's shoulder, back and recovery is so much better. Just a suggestion on one guy's homestead to another guy's farm. Keep up the good work and Red Paint.
Love the farm animals and the pig giving his two cents on your work. Thank you for keeping it going. It's never boring. Oh and you're welcome, about shouting out to let you know the water fix worked. 😊. Perfect timing, as always.
We have a small hobby farm with dairy cattle and chickens so far. We’d like to add pigs soon. We have chores every day, including hand milking my cow. I STILL enjoy watching you do your farm chores while I drink my morning coffee after Bible time. I watch you do your work and it inspires me to go out and do mine! Thanks for your videos!
I'll miss the pigs but understand that you all know when it's time. Blessings and blessings and Blessings to you and Hillary and your farm and animals. They are absolutely 💯.
Thanks for the update Pete and Hillary , i love your farm , that sunset was epic :-) even the Canadian geese were a sound of home as im Canadian but living in America ,this year I didn’t see any geese pass over how strange but I saw yours and now im good . Thanks for your hard work :-)
A very comprehensive update! Fascinating how the farm changes season to season. I'd be very curious to know what a farmer's diet is like, and whether that also changes across the year.
The sound of the geese overhead nearly made me cry. I live in northern Arkansas now after spending years in Florida. And I never heard geese in either place. I did live near the Mississippi flyway if anybody knows what that is.. my whole life. And all the sound of the geese when the sky was filled with them is something I cherish and will remember forever. I envy you
Enjoying your videos in the morning with fresh coffee is one of life’s simple pleasures. My Cocker Spaniel watches with me, and barks at the cows! Peace and joy to your family for this holiday season. 🦃❤️🍁
Pete, I always enjoy your videos! I'm not surprised to see the farm changing, as you have to remain relevant. I appreciate the visit with the farm animals, and I'm anxious to see what our maintenance project will be for the winter. All the best to you and your family.
Hey Pete - all your Canadian geese flew down here. I have a large farm pond adjacent to my property and they land here and drink fresh water and corn from the field. Good eating - then off they go! It's loud!! And thanks for that!!! Anyway good video, always like seeing the animals. Have a great week - see you soon!
Your will to keep trying with the pigs despite the current situation is admirable. Will be a shame if Billy doesn't work out - he's quite a character, but it will also be understandable. Pigs are a lot of work and a lot of investment with very little return on non-industrial scale.
There is little return on them on industrial scale. Pete would be doing a good job breaking even. Actually being able to make money off them is a stellar performance.
@ghammond3132 unfortunately they are the exception, not the rule. Especially in today's economic climate, the majority of people want cheap. Small farms can't produce cheap. Pete went pretty in depth into this a few weeks ago. Over here in the UK the situation is that large scale farming is to the point that after expenses, the net profit per head is in the pennies. If you raise 1 or 2 pigs for your own personal feed, slaughter and butcher your own meat, (very hard to do legal slaughter your self) then you can save money, but if you try to do less than 200 heads, you will loose money.
How satisfying. What a pleasure to just walk around with you and Hilary on the farm doing your usual thing. It made my day. Thank you so much. I have been missing this.
Part of what makes your channel great is its authenticity. Please continue to keep it real- and ”real” means the full and actual farming cycles with all their ebbs and flows. TBH I’ll miss the piglets, but I get it… and adore the calves. My husband really appreciates the old school mechanical projects. You share great content and we look forward to it all.
Nice to see you work with your animals pete sad to see no piglets on the way you do such a great job raising them its hard to hear you are done with pigs but im sure you have good reasons cattle look awesome by the way pete thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family
Thank you for showing the geese. I love geese and truly appreciated hearing them again. I raised Sebastopol geese in my younger days. I still miss them. I love your channel, Pete. It brings back a lot of good memories for me.
Hi Pete, it's always great to get a video update from you and Hilary. It lookslike you are well prepared going into winter. I wish Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. See you next time.
Pete I understand why it would be time for the pigs to leave,will miss them when they go. Enjoy watching the cows when they see you. Thank you for this video,I did enjoy watching all of the animals.
Farrowing is labor intensive, I don't blame you for letting someone else hassle with that. Great content, reminds me of the 160 share cropped acre farm I was raised on. Good luck.
Hey I just wanna say I love your channel and I admire your life style and how you’ve been farming for more than a decade. May God bless you and your family🙏🏼
Thank you for showing us the animals. I kind of missed them even though the restoration was interesting also. May you winter well. seems I always enjoy watching your videos.
When farming you have to do what's best for you. I appreciate all farmers and the hard work that is put into farming. I grew up a farmers daughter I remember the hard work, and the rewards from it. God bless you both. Love watching your videos.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. May God bless you and your family with joy and peace this holiday season. 😊
Pete theres a digital thermostat called a Stc1000 that has a remote probe and can controll the temp of a heat lamp. They work really well for quickly checking the temp and lowering power useage. There also under $30.
Glad to see the animals and also Hillary. Love the measurement for the top hot wire. 1 hip high. Busy, busy, busy getting ready for winter. Never know when it's going to hit. Take care and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Billy and Bossy pig are so friendly because you loved on them so much when they were young. I hope they manage to get business taken care of this winter. I love seeing the animals.
Great video, Pete!! Sorry the pig business isn't working out. Fingers crossed for the spring. I know it's your least favorite aspect of the farm, but the pork and the bacon our kids got from you at the market was really excellent! Have a good weekend!!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful fall day! It's great to see upstate NY near where I used to live. I miss the migrating geese, one of my favorite things. Surprisingly we get a few where I am in CA because of San Francisco bay, but not near that many...loved the day with you all!
Free fertilizer Pete... Be nice to those Canadian Geese... I'm a Canadian transplanted to Corona, California... Every now & then I will see a few flying around her in the Winter time & I get Homesick... That is a Beautiful sound ❤️🤗 Hugs & Blessings to You & Your Beautiful Family fir Good Health & Happiness throughout the Holiday Season 🙏❤️💙🤗✝️
Your productions make majority of topics enjoyable! that said I was missing the farm.... Every time you walk into the "tractor shed" i want to do the same thing but have a heap of old fords..... 1 down x amount to go. Thanks Pete.
I have been watching your channel for a long time and I still find it informative and relaxing. I love the animals and your approach to razing them. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.. Jim Robinson, Gorham, ME
I agree with you Pete, the electric fence with the three strands should work just fine your cattle are used to it already. Glad I could help you with the water float. Ha ha! Good to see the livestock again, their looking good, I like Billy too . Thanks for sharing, have a nice day.
Pete, I am envious of the ease at which your tractors crank. My old green 4020 requires pumping the fuel pump by hand and starting fluid. I enjoy the mechanical videos the most, but enjoy all of them.
Nice visiting with the animals again. When you started adjusting the solar panels, I was wondering how they were lowering so smoothly. Then I saw it was Hilariepower! 😂
We grew up in the geese flyways. I love the sound of them flying over in the spring and fall! OMGosh, they were so low, must be an overnight feed pasture nearby! 😀Ord and Titus saying "Thank you, Boss"
Pete and Hilary, your channel is one of the best on UA-cam. Love your vids and what you share with us. 🙏
Hope you both have a SUPER day!
Bossy Pig, Billy the Boar, and Brownie have become “regulars” on the videos. Like other viewers, I will miss them and their unique personalities. I realize that farming is a business and pigs are not pets; but if I could I’d buy them and let them live out their days. Thank you, Pete, for sharing!
I will be sad to see the pigs go as I think they are the stars of the show. I do however understand the economics of getting rid of the pigs. Thanks
He thinks he may keep ages for personal use,,,
I hope.
I agree the pigs are the cutest of the show !
Pigs are my favourite along with the cows
Since neither Billie or Bossy are aging out I wonder what is going on there.
Yeh I’ll miss them too. They’re so cute
I didn’t realize how much I was missing the farm and animals. Thanks, Pete and Hilary. Have a great rest of your week.
On my 78th birthday, I must say that I have never met a successful farmer that has not had a willing helpmate by his or her side. Love your videos and my hat is off to Hilary. We need to see more of your beautiful partner. Such a becoming smile. So patient in listening to your "dad jokes." Please keep the videos coming.
I was more worried about you and Hilary than the animals or tractors the wife and I were just talking about how few videos you were putting out,it doesn't matter what you video just keep us informed on your well being another good video stay safe and God bless

You always are putting out videos when I’m supposed to be doing my dang morning chores ! 🎉 Thanks for video
Hey Pete, enjoy your Thanksgiving!
The cattle have such pretty winter coats this year!
Always enjoy your relaxed jargon. Thanks for the lessons presented with such enjoyable presentation. You and Hillary really rock. Have a great winter.
this channel is a temporary antidote to all the cringe in the world
Thanks Pete and Hilary for a trip around your farm 😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can't believe another year! Time just flying by!
It is funny how we worked so hard to get the high level education and obtained good paying jobs but what we really want is to just have a quiet corner of the world where we can grow our own food and enjoy a quiet life. At this point I am considering giving up the fancy cell phone and going back to the basic cell phone. I absolutely love your videos. So soothing for the soul. Thank you.
So sad no piglets. One would have though Brownie and Bossie had both been bred. Billy appeared to go thru the motions. I’m glad they’re going to get another chance.
Is there Viagra for pigs ?🤗
I'm glad Billy is getting another chance he's still young and full of life. I'm hoping they keep the pigs till old age.
Apparently youbmissed the part where he said they were QLL going to be butchered. The 2 have a 2nd chance if they get piglets but even then it sounds like after that they are gone too.
Hey Pete! Hopefully Billy works out for you. If not, maybe I can put him out on pasture with JJ's offspring to give him another chance. Hopefully you still have my contact info. Jennie and I would love to show you the progress we've made on our small farm since you were here last. If you're ever in the area, please feel free to stop in. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you! I am sorry that JJ did not work out for us. We enjoyed having him here.
I like Billy. He's a good boar. Hopefully, he can breed.
Best farm channel out here no-show boating just a family of 4 showing it can be done with a lot of

and my Brain went: Rabbits!! 🤦♀

12 minutes and 412 likes and 2300 views, you are doing something right! Thanks for the video.
Always so nice seeing those CANADIAN 😘 geese across a blue autumn sky.
😉
They are CANADA geese not Canadian geese
A very comprehensive update! Fascinating how the farm changes season to season.
I'd be very curious to know what a farmer's diet is like, and whether that also changes across the year.

And all the sound of the geese when the sky was filled with them is something I cherish and will remember forever. I envy you
Oh no! Billy showed such promise too. Well good luck for some spring piglets.
Watching the geese come over is a type of marker that stems me grateful, another change of season.
Yo have accomplished a lot this year. The tractor storage looks like it is meeting your needs.
Thanks for sharing your day!
Makes me homesick for my childhood farm❤🥹
I'm glad to see you showing a farm video! It's been awhile.
I know a bent float valve thumb screw when I see one. Have a great day Pete, good farming!
Pete & Hillary love watching your Videos. God Bless your Farm & the animals. ❤
Enjoying your videos in the morning with fresh coffee is one of life’s simple pleasures. My Cocker Spaniel watches with me, and barks at the cows! Peace and joy to your family for this holiday season. 🦃❤️🍁
Canada geese are calling everybody to head south to the warm shores of Florida. You really feel the seasonal changes on the farm
Pete, I always enjoy your videos! I'm not surprised to see the farm changing, as you have to remain relevant. I appreciate the visit with the farm animals, and I'm anxious to see what our maintenance project will be for the winter. All the best to you and your family.
Coffee and JAFAF. What could be a better start to the day? Have a great day Pete, Hillary and family. ❤
Beautiful fall day there and I loved hearing the Canadian geese because I now live in Arizona.
Thank You Pete and Hillary!

Not worth their own stench.

I am praying for success, your the reason why I started raising pigs!!!!!
Thank you for showing the geese. I love geese and truly appreciated hearing them again. I raised Sebastopol geese in my younger days. I still miss them.
I love your channel, Pete. It brings back a lot of good memories for me.
Look forward to a video. What a magnificent Sunset.
I like the variety, farm animals and tractor/mechanical projects. I'm a bit partial to your Farmall projects...always learning something new. 😊
Hi Pete, it's always great to get a video update from you and Hilary. It lookslike you are well prepared going into winter. I wish Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. See you next time.
Great video. Glad to see all the critters getting ready for winter.
Love your videos, you and Hillary are such a great couple and team farmers!:❤🎉❤🎉😊
I love the way you and your wife work so good together it must be love you are great people !
Pete put up brushes like a push broom attached to a post for the cows and pigs. It's fun to see them enjoying a good scratch.
Pete I understand why it would be time for the pigs to leave,will miss them when they go. Enjoy watching the cows when they see you. Thank you for this video,I did enjoy watching all of the animals.
Thank you once again for a peek inside A Few Acres. Love your videos and keeping up with what's going on....Stay well
I enjoy seeing the fall season on the Farm and the changes, and even the squawking geese flying overhead.
Another great video, Pete. I'm looking forward to seeing what you are going to be doing in the restoration department.
Farrowing is labor intensive, I don't blame you for letting someone else hassle with that. Great content, reminds me of the 160 share cropped acre farm I was raised on. Good luck.
I do so enjoy your videos. They are always the high lite of my day. Thank you for the work you do to produce them. Love them all.
Always a pleasure to see the animals. Including the geese! And the beautiful outdoors. Thanks for a farm update!
I really like the video's brings back memories I grew up on a farm and looking for a small farm now so thank you for showing the day to day work.
Hey I just wanna say I love your channel and I admire your life style and how you’ve been farming for more than a decade.
May God bless you and your family🙏🏼
👍❤👍 Great content Pete!
Very much looking 4ward to the 1st snow on the fields.
Thank you for showing us the animals. I kind of missed them even though the restoration was interesting also. May you winter well. seems I always enjoy watching your videos.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. May God bless you and your family with joy and peace this holiday season. 😊
Over the years, I have come to respect your lifestyle. Zen and the art of farming.
Pete theres a digital thermostat called a Stc1000 that has a remote probe and can controll the temp of a heat lamp. They work really well for quickly checking the temp and lowering power useage. There also under $30.
Thanks Pete, enjoyed seeing you guys and glad everything is running pretty smooth, take care.
Thanks for sharing the video Pete.

Pete, such a great channel you have here! MJM
Great job Pete !! Fixing fences tending to the animals, you are my hero!! Take my back to the 50s and 60s as a kid on a small diary from in Maryland.
Free fertilizer Pete... Be nice to those Canadian Geese... I'm a Canadian transplanted to Corona, California... Every now & then I will see a few flying around her in the Winter time & I get Homesick...

Looking forward to your newest project. I really enjoy it when you go wrenching on the equipment. Hope you have a great winter. Stay warm.
Pete, I am envious of the ease at which your tractors crank. My old green 4020 requires pumping the fuel pump by hand and starting fluid. I enjoy the mechanical videos the most, but enjoy all of them.
Big restoration project of the winter? Hmm. The sunset at the end was beautiful!
So much to do in so little time. Good luck with all the prep. Thank you for sharing.🐂
"I hope you enjoyed this video." Yes, yes I did. Wholesome content, like the wholesome food you produce, as always.
Really enjoyed the video, great sunset! I can’t believe how big Billy got, same with the two “babies”!
Nice visiting with the animals again. When you started adjusting the solar panels, I was wondering how they were lowering so smoothly. Then I saw it was Hilariepower! 😂
We grew up in the geese flyways. I love the sound of them flying over in the spring and fall! OMGosh, they were so low, must be an overnight feed pasture nearby! 😀Ord and Titus saying "Thank you, Boss"
