    For anybody deciding on land usage, you need a large, detailed topographic map of your farm. Take it somewhere and get it laminated and then you can draw on it with dry-erase markers. Make cardboard cutouts of any mobile structures so you can play around with placement.

    Cattle also lay down when they chew their cuds. In a world with so many things going wrong, watching you get your pigs and steers just makes my heart happy. God bless & keep growing

    I'm so happy that you were able to get them. My heart is heavy for the people at the farm having to stop doing what they love, but am so glad that wonderful people, like your family, are able to take on these animals. Penelope's face said it all. Congratulations and can't wait to see piglets! 💜

    Great job..you may want to run a second hot wire a little lower for the steers while they are little. They can run under the wire if it's too tall.

    @seek2find Před 2 lety +29

    I'm so proud of you guys!! Way to go, jumping in like that. I used to raise cattle, several breeds including red angus, black angus and jersey cross. They were fine for both beef and milk, although the angus doesn't have as much cream content as the jersey and we didn't milk for more than a couple of months of the year. I am excited to watch your lovely pigs and see your version of 'pigs for everyone' unfold. And as for easy to unload... the more prepared you are, the easier it gets.

    Jason
    Your videos are great and addiciting.
    I enjoy that you share what you are creating.
    You have picked a gem of a new place.
    I'm sure you don't know yet how devinely gifted that property was.
    It's gorgeous. Incredible views. Definitely, put in that picnic
    table. Although one may be not enough.
    I'm a one man show in Boulder, Colorado. Some views too.
    I supply about 40%-50% of my yearly vegies. Perserve and
    permaculture, with rock walled beds. Short growing season.
    One thing I found that works for those occasional panic attacks,
    is to lay face down on some nice grass, spread eagle.
    Make sure nothing is poking/distracting you.
    Image, you are holding the earth, hugging her.
    Try that for 1 minute in you panic filled day.
    Then try for 2 minutes.
    The panics will ease and disappear.
    Don't stop what you and all are doing. Give it 5-15 years.
    You won't want anything else.
    All the best,
    David

    Ok, I'm so happy for you folks. You're new homestead is so wonderful. Getting the steers and helping that couple out so great. But for me what I'm most excited about are Kunekune pigs. Especially that you got a mated pair and I hope she is pregnant. This is the breed I have most wanted to start with. They prefer to graze grass, they are less likely to rip up pasture. Small size makes them easier to handle and lower feed costs. However I understand that they grow slower so this first year it might be a good idea to get two standard sized pigs for next falls harvest. Grow your new pigs about a year before considering a slaughter program for them. Purebred Kuneune sell well,especially breeders. High end Chefs are beginning to discover Kunekune are VERY tasty. You may just have gone into the pig business. I will be watching this very closely. If you are considering getting more involved with cattle consider getting some Dexter's, a male and 2 or 3 females. They are half the size of standard cows but are dual porpoise. Meat and milk. They consume half the feed,are very gentlem and are very easy to deal with. They are a old breed coming originally from Ireland. Very sturdy and good mothers that don't need a lot of help while calving. The same reason they were so popular in Ireland over 200 years ago are the same reason modern homesteaders are finding them popular now. Anyway I'm so happy for you folks. Have a great day 🌤. 🐂🐖👍
