- Today our new dairy cow, Pansy, is having a day out on the grass to see if we can get her starting to eat grass. We are also doing some odd jobs around the farm with our draft horses and showing an update on planting flowers around the pond.
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

You're absolutely right, Brenda when you say that praying exercises our prayer muscles. We must be sure to NEVER underestimate the POWER of prayer !! I believe in miracles !!
You can tell Brenda has milked a cow before. Great technique.
Praying Pansy learns that grass is good for her. Oh the power of prayer . Muds season is here but will pass quickly.
A family who prays together becomes a stronger unit , importantly parental leadership must be respected and trusted in !,
I ended up buying a second Jersey cow because my first Jersey was so lonely. They are herd animals after all. I hand milked and found that was a peaceful time for me. I used the excess milk to feed my piglets & hens. I made lots of butter with the cream & froze it. Iove love love the creamy milk of Jerseys. Yes Pray Pray Pray....it does work.
Truly appreciate Brenda's comments about prayer. God knows we are made of dust, we do the best we are capable of, God looks at our heart.
Amen, brother. I have heard it put, we do our best & God makes up the rest. I word it as, we PRACTICE perfection until we see Perfection face to face, not dwelling on our mistakes, but fully reliant on His grace.
Since yesterday was national Day of Prayer I thought Brenda’s comments and insight on the power of prayer was very timely and up lifting. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that do matter the most. Keep up the good work!.
WE MUST BELIEVE WHEN WE PRAY THAT OUR PRAYERS ARE HEARD ...THAT BELIEF AND THANKFULNESS IS SO VERY IMPORTANT....THAT IS WHAT 'S CALLED 'EXERCISING YOUR FAITH.'
We need to have faith in our Greater Power and The Wonderful Humanitarians among us . Built on the building blocks based on kindness and respect for our neighbors
@@user-di7in2zx1c Absolutely.
Amen 😊😊😊
Any wood left in the forest is used by the ground animals and it fertilises the ground around it. Nothing goes to waste in the forest.
You probably get tired of hearing this, but I love your channel for the variety of tasks that get done, from caring for your horses to logging to farming to sawing to small construction projects to Brenda's gardening and now milking Pansy.
Your channel is only one of three that I watch regularly. It's fun to learn from what and how you do things and how Abby's house is progressing with your help and materials.
Thanks for sharing the melding of old ways with new ways as you work your horses.
Thanks for your input, we are glad you enjoy it!
I loved how Skippy just walked along side of Pansy as saying I'm your friend. Ken and Baron were ready to get out of the sawmill as Ken say I know how to pull follow me. Your animals love you Jim and Brenda. God bless you both 🙏 ❤️ ❤
Everything in your greenhouse is so green and pretty!!! Poor little Pansy, I was wishing I could pull up some grass to give her through my TV screen! I've never seen a cow that didn't know to eat fresh grass! Bet you are enjoying her good rich milk though! I really do miss seeing Lady. I hope before her foal is born you can let us have a close up of her and see her get some petting and attention!!! And see more of little Bree too.
Glad you put the cow back in I was afraid she would head out to the road. Skippy was on his best behaviour with Pansy. I hated mud season when we lived in midcoast Maine. It shut down everything that was outside. I do think that if you put gutters on the barn to get the water away from the barnyard it would help the mud problems but it won't cure it completely. Thanks again for for all of your hard work to share these videos with us Brenda. Please stay safe and God bless you and your family
Brenda, with your own cow and tomatoes, give them a drink of milk. Tomatoes love calcium and milk has calcium in a natural formula. It prevents stem rot in the tomatoes along with making them more healthy. If you are trying to get Pansy to eat grass, give her some fresh grass clippings. She will love them and soon figure out where the come from.
Egg shells
Crush the egg shells works best just dust the soil
Brenda a few things you said made some metaphors dance through my overactive Bible teacher brain. Like the basil not growing well by itself, but in a bunch, the plants did well. As Christians, we aren't thriving if we are separated from other Christians. We do better when we do life together. Even when we get on each other's nerves, we are still providing opportunities for growth, like learning to apologize & forgive, etc
Another thing that came to my mind happened when you let Pansy out of the barn to graze & she seemed unsure of things. Though she has been set free from the trappings of large dairy operation & truly is free to be herself, a cow as God created her to be, she still acted as though she was still imprisoned (trapped) in her old life on large dairy farm. When we are set free from bondage of sin, we are free indeed, but some of us don't know what to do with that new found freedo. Others of us act as if we are still in chains. Anywho, that's what came to mind. If you ever want to attend our LITTLE Bible study on Thursday mornings, we'd love to have you! We all go to different churches, so I guess you could say we are interdenominational. Really, we just all love Jesus & try to follow Him as best we can as we do life.
Jim and Brenda thank you for taking us along on your daily chores and work schedule today. Work never stops on a mixed farm such as yours. Hopefully you are able to clear up some your roof drainage issues with the gutters possibly tied into drainage tiles to help run some the water off to alleviate the spring mud in the door yards. Although I realize tiling systems are very expensive. The plants in Brenda's new green house are doing well for early spring. The custom sawing for a customer is very productive and has potenial extra income as well. William's greenhouse project turned out great and I'm sure the new owner will be pleased with it. It'll take some time for Pansy the Jersey Cow to adjust to her new role on the farm and settle in to eating grass and adjusting to electric fences . It's obvious her last home was a dairy production facility and she was part of a herd passing through the farm operation being milked 2 to 3 times a day and fed special dairy ration and dry hay. or silage. I'm sure Pansy will adjust to the farm routine with some time and care from Jim and Brenda. It was great to hear that he had your Vet visit and deal with Pansy's hoof issue . Antibiotics will help a lot and it'll heal and the lameness will subside as well.
The way Baron prances when he walks, I can just imagine him with sleigh bells pulling a sleigh!!!!
Caltha Calustris, the beautiful yellow flower in Latin, is a sign that spring has truly arrived! 🌼 In Sweden, it's called "kabbeleka" and can be found by streams and in wetlands during springtime. 🇸🇪🌷
While the flower buds were once eaten like capers with salt and vinegar, it's important to note that the entire plant is mildly toxic, so this practice is not recommended. 🤢
Can you imagine being removed from the only place you ever knew and all your family? I know Pansy's better off with you and Jim I just wish I could tell her. Prayers for her. Also, I think Abby needs a greenhouse. With a nice discount of course 😉
Love your tie stalls and watering system for your horses . Cows ( and horse's) are herd animals . Therefor Pansy will be just fine , once let out to pasture with the other beef and horse critters . Milkiing twice a day( 12 hrs apart) by hand can be done where ever it works for you and . Pansy just needs time to adjust . This just a small thing but please remove that ear tag (3622). Pansy now has a name , no longer a number .Ah farming , great fun .😊😊😊
When Jim dropped that chain on the ground for the shed, Ken acted like he thought he was at a horse pull. He dug down and got going.
Ken is so used to the horse pulls so understands the noise and Baron is right along with him...lol
Wow Brenda I love those marsh buttercups they are so pretty, the green with the yellow makes them stand out. I notice they look different than a field buttercup. I used to pick buttercup bouquets for my Mom. 💛
Love, love, love your channel❣️
I think poor Jim is suffering from mud fatigue. I don't blame him. Brenda, your greenhouse looks lovely. God Bless you folks, ... stay strong. ❤ - ACD
Bring some grass in and put it on the hay see if she eats it or not
That needs to go on Abbys flower list for the woods
Brenda,im impressed..you did great milking.i never achieved that because i had 7 brothers. nice job.
clop,clop , clop down the road is such a happy sound. love it.and Baron does his prancing like he has on highheels..so fun.
hahahaha and Bill picks up the pace too with him.
the prayers will help your gardens grow.perfect by the cabin pond too. we think the dropping of the chains made bill think he was at the county horse pull.😅 we love you both and wish you well in everything..xx c and s
( happy birthday early Brenda in case i miss the 29 th...🎉😂❤
I think Baron is Bill‘s dream team member! Although I’m sure Bill misses Lady.
those horses surly do trust you going backwards. I just love you and Brenda. You have such an educational channel.
One of the best views of the sawmill in action yet. Thanks. William is doing a great job of building the greenhouses. I wish that I were closer because I could use one too! It's 200+ miles to Paul Smith College from here and you are as ways from there. Thanks you for "a day in the life of..." They are great!
Hi I think Baron was unset by the birds flying up for the field and then for the roof. Brenda, if my tomato go leggy,long and thin, replant them very deep , it may help. LINDA 🇬🇧
Hi Jim and Brenda. With the extra milk, give the tomatoes a drink of it. Tomatoes use lots of calcium. Calcium prevent stem rot on your tomatoes and keeps them healthy. Try giving Pansy lawn clipping a few times. Then put her on your lawn to graze. She will soon figure out where the clippings came from and you will take of two problems at the same time. I too come from a family of prayer warriers and never have I had to apologize for it. You guys go for it. I love those videos. Keep them coming.
Great idea! You're a helpful person! 😊😊😊
Im so with Jim hate mud okay to deal with because part of life but when it goes on and on yes a little depressing 🙃 Skippy was acting like he and Pansy could be buddies and he could learn to Shephard her beautiful greenhouse and did love the pond ,Jim's log sawing just beautiful video thank-you ❤ 😊
Boy i wish i lived close enough to buy a greenhouse from u guys. ❤❤
us too....😊
Me too ❤
What was Baron spooking about (the first time). Was “interesting” seeing Ken and Baron spook being in the spot when backing in - REALLY glad to get out!
G'morning Brenda and Jim.
God bless you just keep smiling Jim !
Hello family, it doesn't bother me to appreciate these beautiful animals, I love horses, this breed that I don't know about, I just love their physique and their larger hooves than others. I love it without being an aficionado (I don't know the reasons but I really like it) if I owned land where having them would certainly be an animal in my possession. Hugs from Portugal 🐴🐴❤❤🇵🇹🥰
Love to hear you talk about prayer. It is so important because of our relationship with God. He wants to hear from us.
That Pansy is as curious as a cat!
Lots of different stuff, seeing The BB team power through the barnyard muck. The local reporter around the pond seemed to work for this observer. And I caught a glimpse of Lady's baby bump. Hope all is going well with her. And Pansy will have to get used to that wonderful Timothy grass hay, or whatever. Nice video.
Thank you for sharing. You have a lot of cattle now. I can't imagine a cow that can't graze and enjoy it. I feel sad for her. I am sure you both will teach and she will ❤️ love it. Be well. God bless you all.
So many dairy cattle have been genetically selected to use concentrated feeds (grain/silage) that they simply lack the robustness to graze.
Weak feet/legs pretty & poor mobility is common with confinement animals.
Also, selected to produce so much milk that suddenly switching to mainly grass really throws off their metabolism
I use small zip ties to help my plants climb up. 😊
Tiny hair clips work well too & you can move them as plant grows.
When the horses were hooked to the greenhouse, they were saying, we don't need you, we can get this on our own. lol
As far as the cow goes, if you could put her out with the horses, maybe she would see them grazing and decide to try it. (what are they liking so well?) Just a thought.
These “variety “ videos are fun to watch. Your wrists must be getting stronger Brenda. Your milking speed has really increased.😀😀😀
Поздрав за Вас из Србије!
Поздрав, надам се да је све добро у твојој земљи
@@WorkingHorsesWithJim
Хвала Вам што сте ми одговорили,волим да погледам ваш канал,музете краву што ме подсећа на детињство када је маја мама то исто радила.
Thank you for your video. I know it's hard to do videos while working on the farm.I enjoy you cutting lumber and working with the horses..
God bless 🌹❤️🙏
Good variety video🙌🏼. I noticed when Brenda was milking Pantsy, it looks like she has a swollen left hind hock, looks a bit rounder than her right one. Brenda, the cabin area is going to look really nice👌🏼🌷🪷Jim , when you need to, you have quick reflexes👍🏼🤠🇨🇦
I am sooo glad to get to see A Day in The Life at your farm. Ya it is good to be happy even w th small 'gains' the rain and wettnes is horrible, agreed. Tha muddy barn yard is aweful & i FEEL YOUR PAIN. I've been wondering abt how the gutters are working. Isn't all the water supposed to go into that outside watering troth??. It's terrific that things always keep moving ahead.yippee. What the heck is TAMERAC wood.??? I've been around making wood products, and was a painter. Never heard of Tamerac. Delighted to see what came of the Pond flower clumps, and the green house is so user friendly. Love it. I'm about at the same level of gardening as you. Thanks for showing us just a day in you life. God bless yall, the horses and Skippy too. ..
Pansy the milk cow may be missing her former herd, wandering around looking for those other Jersey cows. 🐮Glad to see her walking better and enjoying the company of the beef 🥩 cattle. Skippy and Ken are good company, but Pansy looks more relaxed with bovines.
Initially she may find munching on the regular hay and grass hard on her digestive system…maybe introduce a little at a time? After all Pansy does have four “stomachs” to coordinate 🤣. Hand milking requires strong hands! 🙌 Would you please explain how you coordinate hand actions on the teats to get milk to come out of Pansy’s utter. Love your back to the earth videos! God bless! Greetings from Canada🇨🇦
Get Barron strength training for the horse pull
hello Jim,you are not alone,from us in northern italy it has been raining for almost 60 days,I have all the work in the fields to do,and finish in the woods,we do what we can
Clay soil is actually very nutrient dense if you can get something started🍃Love the greenhouse 💕
What wonderful machinery for sawing. I have never seen sawing wood so automatic with so little of moving big logs by hand.
U could put a little fence in the back and ur cucumber would climb it. Just a suggestion.
Ur greenhouse looks lovely. ❤❤
Thanks Brenda for showing your pond expedition 😊❤
I have all my plants in my sun room, lol..can’t wait to move them. Every year we do something different in our garden…wish I was a good gardener but we do get lots of canning. Our main crop is potatoes…but we can tomatoes, green beans and cucumbers…that’s as far as I go. My goal this year is more flowers in the garden.
I like that your Christian life is evident in yiour life, and it's not a preachy thing. About your talk while milking, it was so good, so life-filled and I appreciate your putting it up on line. There are so many misrepreentations of the Christian life today. This is the right message coming from a good heart.
Wow, busy, busy, busy. Life on the farm, gotta love it.
Looks like it is growing and wonderfully green. Grate job Brinda! I'm looking fromward to seeing how it looks in days and weeks to come.
No consolation to you but the weather has been awful in England too. We live in Somerset in the South West, it has been grey, wet and cold rather depressing. Farmers all over the UK have been struggling to cope with lambing and other spring chores.
Jim and Brenda, it would be great if you could go over horse teams sometime. Things like stallion, gelding, etc. I'm a city guy and I don't know what you are talking about sometimes.😊
Maybe put her grain and hay on ground where grass is she might eat some inadvertently and like it
❤❤ I like that Baron,
Mix long, fresh grass in the cow’s hay. She is a sweet animal and deserves green grass, her natural food.
…. I think skippy was very calm around the new cow , following along beside her, almost looks like he was keeping her from going towards the road. That mud sure is crazy around this time of year, so messy…. So much rain.
Fun video to watch!! Such a variety of things! I can imagine how tired you are if the mud. I would be, too!! You're still finding lots to do, tho!! It's fun to see all you do!! 💕
Imagine the mess you would have around there if you used tractors . The horses do virtually no damage and are happy to pull no matter what the weather . I saw the smoke curling up from your wood furnace and I thought , how lucky to be independent from the big energy companies . Here in Canada we are having the same wet ,cold weather . Even if I was to shut off the gas valve my bill would still be huge with the account costs . Same with hydro . And we pay a debt charge for the money they threw away , even though it`s hidden now . And now you have cream too ! Lots of silver linings around the farm .
Could you explain what hydro is exactly? Thanks...
Electricity, Canadian style :-)
@@cheryls3162 It is electricity . It was long generated by water behind water or hydro dams . Or at water falls like Niagara Falls .The public company here is Ontario Hydro .
Sue and Bill thank you for explaining hydro I live in the Northeast United States, and I wasn't aware of what hydro was. 👋
Hi I love your videos so much, always makes my day love watching you do your chores and spending part of your day with you..❤❤I miss my milk cow so much fresh milk so yummy.. that’s a sweet little cow you have there just take some time to get use to her new home…..
❤ Brenda the typical gardener enough room for twenty plants so 40 or 100 should be just fine 😂😂😂my sister in law is like that,as well as most gals I know
Just a couple of comments: First of all, God does hear all of our prayers, and we trust in His timing. Second, Brenda, just curious if you disinfect Pansy's utter before milking? Your greenhouse garden is beautiful!
Another fabulous video, your horses are so well trained Jim, I was surprised that they pulled the manure spreader straight out of the mud it had sunk in quite a bit, I'd love one of your greenhouses but I think England is a bit too far for delivery 🐎 thanks Jim and Brenda.
Abby and Trudy need a Greenhouse
And Baron wants to pull it down there because he loves to trot to Abbys
she just like a big dog and pet :)
Howdy from San Diego, CA !! Still enjoying your videos, Jim and Brenda !! Keep 'em coming, please !! 🙏👍🇺🇸
You are right Jim. Burning pine in a fireplace is very dangerous. I had a friend who managed to get a flue fire going in his expensive home and it cost him a lot of money to repair the damage from the fire.
I bet you anything those plants are going to grow just fine...oh my ,,those lil buttercups are precious.
your weather is unpredictable like ours here in central Alberta , Edmonton Area,, but we need the moisture, you got a lot more than we did for sure, good to see you milking the cow Brenda,,, and yes having a greenhouse and homegrown food is great I crave it , but hard to do in the city, I will have home made planters this summer to try,,, love your videos, and JIm you are doing great and yes muddy muddy can be frustrating . Pansy living up to the saying stubborn as a cow ahhhhhhhhhlll God Bless keep praying we are all in need of prayers
I want one of them greenhouses but I would love if Aaron and Ken delivered it
I really love your dog
The shed looks awesome William ..lov from south alabama.
Do you ever get ducks and geese at the pond ? I think Lady is going to foal soon , she's big !
Hi Jim And Brenda. As a carriage builder in Tasmania I would be interested if you could do a video of Williams buggy, it looks interesting. Thanks Michael
Jim , Brenda good morning ! How old is this milking cow ?
I guess that old saying “you can bring a horse to water ETC” , also applies to cows, “you can bring Pansy to grass ETC” 😅 She will adapt.
How do you train the "B team" for Horse Pulls this coming summer? Get them to haul the manure spreader through the barnyard mud, perhaps?
🤔 Nice mixture of your typical farm day, Brenda your green thumb and pond ideas me thinking A ok , Jim the red rot pine left I kinda thought about creosote problem but you put that to rest 👍👋
Hi Folks Love your Channel, and fallow every chance. With regards to your video where ium was commenting on stall space. could you take down the wall you have that hang your leads and jut turn your feed boxes 90 degrees so the rear ends would be nearer the water trough. Just a thought. Keep up all your hard work of a beautiful traditional life.
Printaboul = Gaëtan (Quebec City)
Bovine are a gregarious animals .. I bet she misses a herd, you and jim are his herd. It's going to be interesting to watch.
Without being obtrusive it would be interesting to hear about the economics of your operation- You both work so hard and put in so many hours, I hope you have good medical insurance and will be able to have a couple of decades of easy going retirement. Is that feasible for you, or do you just have to keep working the rest of your life?
Have you tried putting some grass in her feed bowl? Oh, I hope she learns to love fresh grass.
Marsh marigold also goes by the more common name of "cowslip" which is what we called it. English cowslip (Primula veris) is actually a different plant than the Marsh Marigold, (CALTHA PALUSTRIS). What you have is the true Marsh Marigold. It is in the buttercup family so you aren't entirely wrong calling them that.
put some wood chips for sawdust around the plantings....
Words have power,that isx a fact.
That poor cow. She looks like she'd be more comfortable with some parameters. A small field of her own. ❤ I know nothing about what a cow should have.😊
💖
Kinda looks and sounds what you do at pulling advents. I could see ken getting worked up ready to pull. I wonder when you get back if it takes them a little wile to know the deference
❤😊
Plant some marigolds. The oder keeps the deer away.
How is Bree getting along. Thank you.
I think Ken thought it was suppose to a horse pull .
The map says this could get worse if they're not took care of on a cow
Would it help to mix fresh cut grass in with her (Panzy) hay/grain to get her to get a taste for the grass?
That barn yard must have been a nightmare when you had a milking herd
