I'll never be able to express the enjoyment I get from watching your videos. I'm 65 and live alone but trying to go back to my roots. I'm learning to grow my food, wish I had paid more attention to my Granny. She feed us from her garden and from her chickens and worked in Brown Miller pickle factory. I was grown before I realized how much that little lady provided from her hard work. She was raised in the era where if you didn't grow it you didn't eat. I learn something helpful from you guys every time I watch. Love your little family...
After a day of 12 hours at the office, going through meetings after meetings, dealing with stress out people all days and then to be stuck in traffic for 2 hours. I come home and see a new video of yours and it's a blessing, I envy you.
I love this video today...you are doing the animals such a wonderful betterment and doing it with love and understanding that they all have many emotions and love to do and see and eat different things...God bless. Sherry :)
You can bump a cow to test for pregnancy when she is far enough along. It is easy with dairy cows and most particularly jerseys. Just bump on her left side where the calf should be laying and you can feel it. Often it will push back or kick against you. It's the way we did it 50 years ago
This was a cool video!! I think my favorite scene was Grace feeding the small goats and they were all around her. What a wonderful sight, a young lady enjoying her animal friends. A city girl would probably be frightened. Good information too!
I sometimes watch your videos more than once. I am no longer physically able to do what you and your family are doing but I so enjoy watching you following your dream. I am able to share with others, what you are teaching, so in a way, I do share in your dream. Thanks for making that possible. God bless you and your family. I hope to still be watching as your children begin to follow in the ways of their parents.
Great video! Superb message. Humanity expend too much energy on control, when the magic often shows itself in the lack of control. Nature is a fine balance and we can just go with the flow as much as is practical : )
The clip of the goats all going to town on that one ailanthus GIVES ME HOPE!! I live in an urban area completely overrun by ailanthus and the common recommendation is to use crossbow herbicide to control it. If goats happily eat this stuff THATS what we should be doing instead of poisoning the earth!!!
I always enjoy the videos you and your family share with all of us, but I have to say this is one of my favorite. I could see the joy in you, your children and all the animals. Made my heart sing.
your garden looks so awesome and healthy love the sunflowers, also my favorite goat is the little black one with all the spots, thanks for such great viedos I really look forward to them 😀
You guys are doing so great with rotational grazing. It makes my heart happy to see more people implementing this! We can't wait to implement it on our larger property soon.
Honestly, the quality of your videos is awesome. The videography is fantastic. At this rate, you will single handed drive up the cost of land in your area. It is beautiful! Beyond that though is the brilliance of what you choose to share. Fantastic! Praying for continued Blessing for you!
Dolly was yelling at you to be careful and not fall down!! My dog Addy was very concerned when she heard your puppy crying from hitting the fence. She knows that feeling, we have the same fence that bit her a couple of times!! 👍
As I watch this I realized you will be hunting for chicken eggs in that area too. I watched a previous video and remember seeing your wife have to pick up eggs off the ground. Now you and the kids can really have an Easter egg hunt. If a hen finds a area that is suitable for nesting in their new expansion, she may lay there as well as the rest of the flock. I wonder if you all will also build mobile nesting box. To where there is ample room for hens to next so they will always have a place to lay? I love how all the animals are in one area. The cow grazing, the goats eating the shrub, and the bugs the chickens will get from the the larger animals moving through the area are wonderful. Plus the chickens scratching up the decomposed wood in that new area will be a treat..:-)
We do wonder about who the thumbs downers are and why the watch. (Though I think some folks think of it as a rating, "not my favorite...") But yes, we feel the overwhelmingly positive feedback overall.
I enjoyed it so much that I'm watching it again. Summer on the farm takes me back to the best memories of my childhood with my grandparents. I can just see Grace soaking in all that you're doing. You have a beautiful farm and family. Blessings....
did dolly calf yet-many yrs ago I was on a dairy farm and a cow calfed way far from our barn.it was a very cold day so I picked up the calf and started walking towards the barn.the mama cow was not happy and kept bumping me with her nose until I got both into a barn.
Art, Goats are made for that brambles and scrub they need more than grass. I don't know if you are aware of cows and wild cherry trees, as long as the tree's are alive the leaves are fine, but if there are limbs cut off and they started wilting the get poison to cattle . So just wanted to let you know that. thanks
A "Paradise" indeed!!!! All your animals are SO fortunate to have such a lovely life there with you. LOVE hearing Dolly MOO... precious girl. She runs right along with the goats.... LOVE your awesome videos! Bless all of you. XOX
I was picking up what you were putting down and totally get your excitement over moving the animals. I was wondering though if you were thinking about running the chickens through your main pasture to clean house a bit and eat up some of those parasites?
Art & Bri - what kind of temp electric fencing do you use? I am looking to purchase some for my goats to forage some other areas of our property! Thank you!
Hey Art, I have a Tigereye Sumac tree... It's getting those bloom things that the sumacs get. Do you know if this type of sumac is useful like the type you have down there? 🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
How are Oreo and the cat doing, I haven't seen them in a while, also are you guys ever going to merge the two chicken flocks now that you gave some away?
If you knew how unhealthy it is to get electrified? The health of the person or animal will go down until he dies if he gets electrified. I would remove that electric fence and prefer to have them tangeled.

Thresia Ross I love this comment!
Me too!
Good video today as always! I like to see your animals doing their thing as nature intended on your property, which is so beautifully forested.
One hardworking, smart man, proof smart work doesn't hurt you. Fascinating !!!
so gratifying to see how the animals love each of your family

Thanks for taking us on a day of changing the fencing. I love watching the excitement of the goats too. Even Dolly wanted to be included.

Andy Harrison Goats have a cast iron stomach we borrowed a friends goats for a out of control bush they cleared it up in 3 days they eat everything

your garden looks so awesome and healthy love the sunflowers, also my favorite goat is the little black one with all the spots, thanks for such great viedos I really look forward to them 😀
What a cute little box turtle!!
I definitely understand why it's a good idea to have goats and a cow now, that's so cool! Each have their jobs. 💕
You guys are doing so great with rotational grazing. It makes my heart happy to see more people implementing this! We can't wait to implement it on our larger property soon.

You guys have done SOOO well on your garden. It looks like a true success!!! Congratulations!

Dolly and the goats look like they are getting along really well 👍🏻😊
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions. Big fan!
Looking forward for more excellent content.
Thanks very much.
Good job Art!

How cool. That box turtle takes me back to my childhood in West Virginia.
Garden is looking fantastic!
Great video and good ideas for your animals and your family. God bless!
Chickens, ducks, goose, goats, and cow - I think they are a passel of critters.
I agree.

Not even up an hour and two people are thumbs down. I don't see anything in this video that would rate a thumbs down.
Don't let it get you down.
We do wonder about who the thumbs downers are and why the watch. (Though I think some folks think of it as a rating, "not my favorite...") But yes, we feel the overwhelmingly positive feedback overall.
Some are bots. Google bots
This is such a wonderful and informative video! Thanks so much for sharing-
I'm only at the :10 second mark and I know I'm going to love this video.
Great video. thanks.
Just fascinating as usual!!
Great video! We sure do enjoy watching! Thank you. Blessings....
You are welcome.
I enjoyed it so much that I'm watching it again. Summer on the farm takes me back to the best memories of my childhood with my grandparents. I can just see Grace soaking in all that you're doing. You have a beautiful farm and family. Blessings....
Some quit effective animalmanegment. I'm deffenatly keeping this in mind if I ever move to a bigger property. Thanks for charing.

A beautiful cycle !!!
Dolly did not like you up in the tree, lol
I loved this video n I hope u time lapse the new area to see how the goats clear out the underlying brush. TY VM!
I love and so excited how you put your animals in the woods I believe the should be able to be in a jungle great job !!!😁
your garden looks so pretty
did dolly calf yet-many yrs ago I was on a dairy farm and a cow calfed way far from our barn.it was a very cold day so I picked up the calf and started walking towards the barn.the mama cow was not happy and kept bumping me with her nose until I got both into a barn.
I love everything about this video ♥️
Good for one, good for all...
really nice!
simply love your videos!
Thank you!

So just wanted to let you know that. thanks
Thank you for the reminder! I had forgotten, I think red maple is on that list as well.
love seeing those goats!
I hope you took a before picture, I'm interested to see how it will look after the goats and Dolly get through it
We took a before video.
ART and BRI WOOHOO!!!! So awesome 💜
I agree I am excited to see an after video!
A "Paradise" indeed!!!! All your animals are SO fortunate to have such a lovely life there with you. LOVE hearing Dolly MOO... precious girl. She runs right along with the goats.... LOVE your awesome videos! Bless all of you. XOX
She really does seem to fit right in with the goats now a days.
Dolly yelling at you about being in the tree made me laugh.
I was picking up what you were putting down and totally get your excitement over moving the animals. I was wondering though if you were thinking about running the chickens through your main pasture to clean house a bit and eat up some of those parasites?
Yep, that's the plan.
Everybody has a job on a homestead.
💛
this video ❤
Can I borrow Raven? I've got an Ivy patch I need to get rid of.
Excellent episode. Thanks.
I see you moving a fence with ease. What fence is that? And where did you buy that?
this video made me so happy :D
I would love goats, we have brush and lots of poison ivy. Unfortunately we are too urban and they aren't allowed.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
hi im a big fan of your vidos
Excellent video! Question: How many days has that duck been setting eggs?
Update coming REAL soon!
What is the name of this goat breed? In Saudi Arabia we have a strain similar to this strain but the legs are longer and called the Najdi goats
Would you get some turkeys? Has Dolly been examined by the vet to make sure she has a calf, love your videos
Turkeys maybe later. No, the chances stand highly toward her being pregnant.
Art & Bri - what kind of temp electric fencing do you use? I am looking to purchase some for my goats to forage some other areas of our property! Thank you!
nevermind.... im catching up on your videos after being away and just saw the one on the fencing! Thanks for the info!
Hey Art, I have a Tigereye Sumac tree... It's getting those bloom things that the sumacs get. Do you know if this type of sumac is useful like the type you have down there?
🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
How are Oreo and the cat doing, I haven't seen them in a while, also are you guys ever going to merge the two chicken flocks now that you gave some away?
the animals work for you great vlog guys. does the female dog have a name?
do you guys still plan to sell some of your Nigerian Dwarfs?
Yes, but we are enjoying having them for now.
I love Nubians their so cute and love the ears lol but they have high butter fat so I have Alpines.
a short question-has your young son started saying any words like mom or dad-he is very cute and I enjoy watching him do things
Dog, cat, cow, milk, water, more, down, up, out, stop, no, me, mama, dada, bottle, goat, chicken... The list goes on and gets longer every day.
I can't help but feel sorry for Donald, not being able to have a mate. :( Heartbreaking..... To be a "Guard Goose" he must remain single correct?
To our understanding that is correct.
SO sad for him though... :(

A flerd.

Those earbuds look gross.
