gonna smoke our bacon this morning done curing our new cow is out there we're gonna manage
her today for the first time i don't think the calf got over either the wall washers were here
yesterday hopefully today they're coming to do the waterproofing our basement wasn't waterproof
correctly or worn out and was leaking hence the total utter destruction of our front yard really
looks like my smoker is a bit buried
what you doing
he was looking for you okay let me get the ergo and him some pants
hey dudes you supposed to be on the counter
get off the counter bro
it's cold out you're gonna want a sweater i don't know if it's sweater weather but
she's extra sensitive to that stuff
girl is there the nearest outlet is in there might be easier to one run across the street to the barn
did i just bring my smoker over here the grill's over here all right fate if it works
these two cords get over there let's leave it where it is it's not we bring it up here
why is this off i don't know this is not right
it wasn't tight enough getting come step on this so we don't pull it no step on that in
no yeah there you go i don't know that's all we got from here to there think it'll do it uh-huh i
think there's no way we're gonna make it i think we're already there uh-huh well you know what i
said i didn't want to move this because i don't want it to be far away and it's terribly heavy
working we will do for bacon y'all
i'm happy we're smoking bacon let's go milk some cows
i know what i want for you mama what
on my birthday a bouncy house what about dinosaur eggs you've been bothering me for dinosaurs you're
still going downstairs for later but this is for my birthday okay we've looked into it
16 bucks you got to stay with me for three days during chores i know this is one of those
it's gonna be one of those days okay at the end i'm gonna say yes he did or no he didn't
no can i do that i could buy something yeah i wonder what it would be that you would want to buy
not really anything maybe yeah yeah nothing oh okay yeah that'd be 16 for four gallons
these youngins these little ewes are gonna go we got a couple more little used over there
we gotta get them later today up on the hill because nacho's coming down it's breeding season
they didn't need a single alfalfa if they did the poop in it the other sheep charlotte
saw that a shame alfalfa is an acquired taste like coffee i guess but once they
get used to it they get addicted well that's those are hilarious you like those shoes
get your little feet's warm oh he's trying to kick him off first thing we gotta do is management i'm
thinking we heard everybody over the tricky part is the little calf we should practice and
then heard flossie and the cat and fussy's calf back over and just get the calf off of her as
soon as we can we're going to lose some milk pig boards hmm let's uh stats will be all right if we
okay new cows and new situations are tricky this is how i handled it one i didn't want to make
too much change so we left the calf on her she just moved to us she just traveled she's
in a whole nother heart hole in another place i'm not gonna then take away the calf also so
everybody stays together one little change at a time the second thing you want to do is get folks
separated so we got the milking of flossie out of the way and then we isolated our new cow honey
third it's like coffee to them alfalfa if we can get her eating alcohol out of this pan we might
she don't know that call either
can we get her all the way to the stanchion
is it too easy i know she's a great cow it's way too easy yes we got her to the stanchion
can we get her through it there it is there it is
we did it we did it all right control if we control the how cow's head we control
her and she can be in there we can stand at ease everything's gonna be okay
now we want to approach her here's the approach i go in from behind they're very unlikely to kick
you from behind like maybe a horse would so i'm going behind i'm going close it's scary
going close but it makes sense it's more like a a rub a push like this as opposed to a punch
these are gonna be nice teeth are we gonna put our calf up tonight no protest no protest
whoa well these are nice teats if they get kicky if they get antsy if they're nervous
just make sure we milk them all the way out because if they were to kick or move and you
stop milking what is that telling the cow it's telling if i kick or move they're going to stop
milking and annoying me and and they're going to move on unbelievable first day
milked her got the rest of it out just got her used to it a little bit good job honey
you did good that's actually her name honey that's very fitting
together come on come on honey come on
let's go let's go well you did good you're a good one nice teats first time hand milk
didn't kick me too much
jonah dunn left us to take the machines and there's no water in the cows you've stayed
with me so far my man good job there's no extra trough here back there yeah that's
but the caps will need it when we separate them tonight so let's go get an extra one
okay all right all right all right all right good i i agree with that more interesting for y'all
he wants us to get started on the luchadors he'll do the water get in are you keeping up
because what they'll do for some dinosaur eggs there you go good boy love it
well you guys destroyed this okay it's off some say katsu is a problem on a permaculture farm
kudzu is not a problem the only problem is how to get lambs to reach higher than that because look
look at what they've done it's as high as they could reach absolutely destroyed that turn that
kudzu into nutrient-dense lamb let's mow the next paddock we're bringing the young ladies up here
and we're gonna get them two down if i want this to last them a week we gotta go a bit bigger than
we did that time i think we could probably get through right there that's probably a good spot
hit a snag too big for the string trimmer does grandma have any loppers she does
ran out of string i'll get what i can with the loppers probably have to go back for string
i think i cleared this enough without the string trimmer
let's get the net up and then we got training nook and cranny farming at its best right here babe
super frustrating look how far we are
it's 15 feet short are you serious yeah so we're gonna have to handle this after physical training
well it's not even running oh it's filled up with pellets this has been the most finicky
pellet smoker
start again i guess was the problem it was smoking this morning and the fire went out couldn't keep
up we got it once again joggers running but it's not running all the time that's probably good
seth our contractor is here and we're going to talk to him about a possible
route seller since we already have this all dug out have you ever built a route seller so
no but i've seen several okay we have to get you that book maybe too back yeah yeah we're thinking
block i think it is a just off the top of my head it's like block it's just like a cinder block
room under the ground you want it to be covered with dirt on the top yeah so we would come in at
it from right here okay so the access right here yeah that's one question and you'll probably have
to do a retaining wall right here since you're going to displace some of that dirt this way
yeah and to put the dirt over top of it yeah you would need a probably a suspended slab a
concrete going over it um just to box it in maybe four boxes and probably would you want it to be
a concrete floor or would you want it to be like a gravel floor or i think that's what we need to
find out right now she's going to get that book because i don't know root cellaring you got to
have a cold air in the bottom and a warm out air out at the top are you guys seeing your problem
we only had stucco we didn't have waterproofing no there's no waterproofing on this side wow we did
pretty good for having nothing we did do pretty good for his uncles and keeper did you guys know
according to jacob that weight training is the single best thing you can do for longevity
look at you new horse riding boots yeah horse rating lessons today yeah enjoy
they're putting on the waterproofing
if you got this i'll go move the energizer over here
we're just walking in i didn't expect that i was hoping to get everybody in
the trailer so we could just leave not you in here leave the fence down it's gonna be
a little trickier but not that much trickier all right let's go lead nacho down
all right let's see if they follow you
she
so now do you guys see why we want to train these cheap job he just walked them wherever
the heck they they want he wanted them to go how do they like it i think they just want more also
love it
there you go skittish okay we'll pull this up we'll shut this now
and then we'll hurt them all into the new area okay do not spook them into the fence
traction is with the old paddock come on buddy him
he thinks there's other stuff in the oven come on come on this is the problem with the tamed sheep
let's get their fence up and on before these little guys test we're already testing it
four-ish hours bet it's ready
i'm calling it 153 close enough 154. come on one more one more
155 is textbook there made it 155 i think we're gonna have this for lunch
now we're gonna put this in the oven
325 slow cook that thick bacon how was the horses good did you do your boots
yeah they worked out they were so cute the teacher loved the boots yeah okay they help you
these are english style boots look at how the bacon turned out
made some cheeseburgers toppings condiments lunch was delicious that was fun guys i
couldn't imagine it going any better but you definitely want to stay tuned
we're going to see if honey will keep on going but go back in there we're definitely going to
start separating her calf and see how much milk she'll give us i think we're going to
be swimming in milk very soon you don't want to miss us so stay tuned thanks for watching
