Joe, I have been following you for quite a few years now and I have to say I admire your hard work ethic and dedication. I get tired just watching you LOL!! You are taking on more work just about every episode I watch, and you do it mostly by yourself with no help from anyone. Truly amazing. Keep up the great content!
Thank you. I look forward to the day when the bigger projects are done and I can spend time milking the cows and spend time in the workshop. There is never a dull day here. Lol.
You're killing me with those ribs, man, I can smell 'em all the way to Texas. Mellisa is such a great cook too! Stay safe. Can't wait until the cows come home.
You remind me of my husband so much. He always fixes my stuff like that. He will put new handles on things, weld things back together, repair furniture, etc. I always tell him he reminds me of MacGyver. He asks me every day if I have any projects he needs to work on so he can give them priority over the rest of the regular farm chores he has to do. That's why I love watching your videos so much. You and Melissa remind me of us and it's just like going around the farm with my husband. Thank you for your hard work to share these with us. It is very much appreciated! Y'all take care and be safe! 👍😊❤
For as long as you've had that guys trailer, I'd say you own it now. If he wanted it back, he would have answered your text. I can't wait for the cows to show up, it's gonna add a whole new dimension to your video's.
Joe, As for the the gate for the cow shelter, (hotel, lol, JK). As a skilled Carpenter, (anyone that can and make a handle for a scrub-brush-WoW 😃😃) I'm sure you could build a pretty strong and functional gate as a project in your workshop during the winter when your "snowed in". Install it next spring, until then... use the chain. For the junk pile... Hire a local excavator to clean it up for you ( on camera,... it would make a good video... and probably a good deal😃). Just a few suggestions Sir. Have watched for years++ and I look forward to watching the development of the Farmstead. I am also looking forward to Melissa's new "Farmhouse" cooking videos...👏👏
I think that you need to run a couple of horizontal rub boards on the inside of your shelter. Cows will rub on the walls and without the rub boards you stand a good chance of them knocking sheeting off, 2 boards on each side gives them something to rub on and saves the sheeting.
Tansy Tagwart is easy to get rid of just pulling it and getting must of the roots and before it even go's to seed . I had a client that had in little over twenty acres of old hay field covered with it . After around seven years there would only be around four dozen plants two to pull .

Hey Joe, dont you just love it when people DON'T pick up their stuff after they either dropped of a trailer or the work camper van. It just means more clutter on your property that you dont need. Still, its great to see that you and Melissa are making huge progress on the farm. Angela from Australia.
You would think that the lady who bought the work camper would have come and picked it by now . Doesn’t seem she wants it any more , time to stick in on market place lol . Are you still going to sell the Tele handler ?
Why r people complaining about your videos u make some great video tent movies they great to watch enjoy them very much when u have deer camp duck camp all your videos r great people that don’t like your videos they can not watch them then keep the videos coming Joe
@@cindyblair1283 I love watching his video it’s just aggravating that people r so negative about his videos. He’s a good guy having fun in life and enjoying himself and people don’t have the right to do what they did to him. That’s just the way I feel about it.
Not everybody wants to see work. They never go out, go to a movie, go to even a grange dance, have people over. Nothing social. Out has to do with killing animals. Maybe they have no desire to socialize but it doesn’t mean we don’t like seeing it on occasion.
Thanks for sharing with us Joe and Melissa, you got a lot going on around there but you'll manage to keep up with all of it weather permitting. Looks great around there and the up coming projects sound good . Stay safe and keep up the good videos and the fun you have around there. Fred.
Wish you the best Joe. I really enjoyed the tent, fishing, duck hunting and deer hunting with you and your family, especially Sara, Zach and your your Dad. I'm not much of a farmsteader but I'm sure you will be successful. Doc
Joe if you take a five gallon plastic pail with a lid and cut about three holes big enough for the ducks to get their heads in and about six inches from the floor up high enough for them to get water. They can put their heads in to drink without splashing the water all over.Also you should put a rock in the duck pool so the chickens can get out if they fall in. I love your videos . Just a few suggestions to help you out You work so hard.
Joe, it would be a lot cheaper to buy yourself some bug spray, than to have to get a blood transfusion! Not to mention, it only takes one mosquito to give you some medical condition! Be Safe, and God Bless all of you!
You could make a sliding gate like you see on a driveway that can slide right and it won't eat up much space and when you want to close the cows in slide it left
Your garden looks great it's growing pretty fast to me. Also the pan that you use to make your potatoes salad or boil the potatoes in I have that same pan and it's probably a hundred years old
Between all the firewood and new farmette, i think Joe will need a small dump truck lol. Good that he's getting all this new expansion done and returning the place back to a bit of what it used to be in a small kind of way. That lots of hard work that will pay off.
The Farm is so beautiful. Lots of thought, time and hard work makes for grand landscape views! I still can’t wait for when Melissa starts her pottery shop. I know it might be years away but you’ve gotten a lot done on that project, too! Always excellent videos, except when you over do it physically.😮
Great video as always. Just a suggestion on where you are planning on milking cow. Maybe you could utilize old gutter to scoop out cows manure and urine. Would have to change direction of where cow stands but having that gutter there could prove beneficial. Love your videos!
Whatever you do, you need to cut all those fields so the grass is the proper height for eating when your cows get there. Look up Joel Salatin on how to grow grass for herbivores.
Hey Joe, if you think you might lock the cows under the shed, you should probably put a 2x6 or something on the inner walls. The cows will at some point hit the other and push her into the wall and possibility push the entire wall down and get out. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for what you do. Jeremy
I had the same issue with having too big of a gate to get into our garden area, I ended up doing two 4ft gates instead of one 8ft. I added an extra post to each side and offset them so the gates fit and would lay flat against the fence.
I just woke up from a nap, Joe! You were in my dream😮... THAT 'S how much I anticipate your videos, and enjoy them! ❤ (not telling what it was about though🤭) lol QUESTION: What's your plan for the possibility of orphaned calves? Because it will happen.
We may bottle feed them right from the start. It has advantages and disadvantages. We have until spring to figure that out. Once we start discussing that more I will add the thoughts into the videos. Right now the main advantage to having her on the mom is the fact that you can leave for a couple days and mom will be fine getting milked by the calf but there are several reasons that separating them right away is good also. With an orphan of course we will bottle feed. Now about that dream? Lol.
@@NorthernSeclusion The dream? 🤣That's for me to know, and hopefully you won't find out! LOL Can't wait to see the homestead growing, and becoming a fine tuned productive machine. 👍🏼💖
Tell the guy with the trailer that you are going to sell it if he doesn't come and get it and then give it to someone that will restore it for themselves.
How are you going to go on your duck, deer hunting trips and your overnight tent trips when the dairy cow needs to be milked twice a day every day and melissa has a full time job? There might be trouble brewing in paradise.
You do a lot of work for one man you got hire a ranch hand somebody that knows about farming so if you're not there he can take care of the animals anything else you told me to take care of
I kinda don't think the guy will pick up the trailer since that may have been his plans to get rid of it. I like to soak posts with diesel and used oil before putting them in the ground. Helps keep the bugs from destroying them.
Not sure if you’re interested, but since yall don’t use the 5th wheel trailer. You should make a nice secluded spot to set it up and put it on air bnb.
I tried the fruit truck for the first time and got the peaches. I wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just a bad batch of peaches. Don't listen to the people who complain about the paid promo videos. They are informative in a down to earth way.
Please send the rain to central Oregon!! There's fire's everywhere here. It's been 100 degrees for the last week and same on the forecast for next week..
In regards to the trailer, you could call your local law enforcement to see how long it is before a vehicle is considered abandoned. Maybe get it retitled. Then fix it up for yourself. How does the saying go?…possession is 9/10 of the law?
Your funny. "Toss that one" & you fling the radish over the fence. Don't you give the chickens all the extra greens& veggies? Chickens LOVE radishes ❤😢
Joe, don't know if this works for you ,but how about two six ft gates and just chain them tight together in the middle, if it is only going to be basically for kind of an emergency situation ?
So are you thinking abought getting a P.H.D. attachment for the Farmall. Having large livestock means posts are a consumable commodity. Farmstead needs a name now.
Happy belated Fourth of July, Joe and Melissa and the rest of the family. Never apologize to anybody for supporting your country. We.. Your northern neighbours are just as proud of your country as we are of ours
Never name your food. Lol. Melissa is already seeming to love the turkeys and they eat a lot of food. Giving them a name would mean I would have to feed them for the next 10 years.
@@NorthernSeclusion lol. Well we know who the boss is so the future will tell. Lol. I enjoy both your channels as a fellow green thumb and outdoorsman.
I'm not sure of all your plans but if your going to have then in there when it snows and blows or a blizzard are you going to be able to get in there and with your tractor to clean it when the shit builds up in it in ths spring or summer.

Thank you for sharing your life. I watch your videos and have for years. I'm excited about the days and years to come. Plz just block the complainers.
We will all keep you company while you milk the cow! 🐮❤️
I'm happy with your videos!!! ❤
Thanks Joe! Your place is beautiful!
Thank you Deanna.
Always enjoy all your videos! Keep it up!
You're killing me with those ribs, man, I can smell 'em all the way to Texas. Mellisa is such a great cook too! Stay safe. Can't wait until the cows come home.

Make sure when you get your cows to store the manure pile far away from where the cows are to cut down on the flys
Brother like you don't do enough.
And not getting any younger.
Do what you can
I am going to do it all until I cant. Its called living life to the fullest. The couch is not where you do that.
It will be such an awesome looking little farm when you get that old green house torn down. The white one behind is so pretty

I so love how your promotional videos are separate! 🙂
It makes it easier to control the comments and the haters. Lol

Wish you the best Joe. I really enjoyed the tent, fishing, duck hunting and deer hunting with you and your family, especially Sara, Zach and your your Dad. I'm not much of a farmsteader but I'm sure you will be successful. Doc
love to see a milk cow taking your shop space...udders tend to do that
Joe, that's a baby bottle brush. $1.95 at Walmart
I thought I was the only one to use my chop saw to cut rounds for my grill or smoker, haha,
Joe if you take a five gallon plastic pail with a lid and cut about three holes big enough for the ducks to get their heads in and about six inches from the floor up high enough for them to get water.

We do not really have any type of disease up here transferred by mosquitoes but i do love my bug spray.
Pickled beets and pork liver pâté... ooh yummy yummy..🙂
Joe that’s a great garden of produce.👍
Big 👍🏻 I love all your vidios Joe 👍🏻💛🙏🏻
Joe, what about letting big chickens in the yard, then put the small ones in the fenced in area, so you can clean the coop....
I am always jealous of your easy digging. Here in CT we have tons of rocks! You also have beautiful soil.
You should mow the pasture areas now. That will promote regrowth of the grasses and provide better grazing for your new cattle.
You should plant comfrey around the bottom of all your fruit trees..just a suggestion,I really enjoy your videos!!!
I just hope you have some help doing all that or enough time to do it, because it seems like a lot on top of all your projects.
I agree.
another enjoyable video
If you do bring those chows in the shop, make sure you have a good hose to clean them and clean up after them, but you know all about that.
Still here Buddy, and I always enjoy your videos!
You could make a sliding gate like you see on a driveway that can slide right and it won't eat up much space and when you want to close the cows in slide it left
That wonderful soil that you have there, so envious
I surely love your garden, and Melissa's meals make my mouth water--seriously.
Your garden looks great it's growing pretty fast to me. Also the pan that you use to make your potatoes salad or boil the potatoes in I have that same pan and it's probably a hundred years old
Beetroot with battered fish mate absolutely magnificent…every thing is looking great Joe …all the best from outback Western Australia
Between all the firewood and new farmette, i think Joe will need a small dump truck lol. Good that he's getting all this new expansion done and returning the place back to a bit of what it used to be in a small kind of way. That lots of hard work that will pay off.

Joe. Just put up barbed wire fences. It will work much better in the long run.
Joe your such a hard worker. I appreciate your videos
I’m enjoying your videos watching them from the Philippines Cebu province location . Your cow you’ll be getting will be happy there. New home
Whatever you do, you need to cut all those fields so the grass is the proper height for eating when your cows get there. Look up Joel Salatin on how to grow grass for herbivores.
Your videos are lovely, please keep making them. It people don’t like them then don’t watch them.
With the metal pile you might want to sell some. Prices are pretty good right now.
Hey Joe, if you think you might lock the cows under the shed, you should probably put a 2x6 or something on the inner walls. The cows will at some point hit the other and push her into the wall and possibility push the entire wall down and get out. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for what you do.

Nice you don’t have to sprinkle rains better anyways
We have Concord grapes , they grow like crazy !!
Hey Joe. Would you mind giving us Melisa’s potato salad recipe. Or her do video makin it. Longtime subscriber. Thanks for sharing……Craig Pa.
Here you go. It is delicious. czcams.com/video/XI6vPY8JEUo/video.html
You may want to put 2x6 on the inside of the shed, so the cows don't push on the plywood.
Really enjoyed watching 👍👍
Putting in a rubber made mini shed by the wood shed for their food storage
Since milk cows need to be milked every day, if it was me, I would probably end up with a lot of steak instead of milk. lol
I had the same issue with having too big of a gate to get into our garden area, I ended up doing two 4ft gates instead of one 8ft. I added an extra post to each side and offset them so the gates fit and would lay flat against the fence.

@brokenman63 for some reason i don't think it works like that.
@brokenman63 he's never had a dairy cow before either, that's a full time obligation to milk everyday.
You do a lot of work for one man you got hire a ranch hand somebody that knows about farming so if you're not there he can take care of the animals anything else you told me to take care of
I kinda don't think the guy will pick up the trailer since that may have been his plans to get rid of it. I like to soak posts with diesel and used oil before putting them in the ground. Helps keep the bugs from destroying them.
The posts that I picked up are treated. A lifetime guarantee they will not rot.
Not sure if you’re interested, but since yall don’t use the 5th wheel trailer. You should make a nice secluded spot to set it up and put it on air bnb.
Ok never mind. Chickens got the radishes
Joe, you should pickle and can those in pint or quart jars. Maybe throw some red onions and jalapenos in with the radishes.
I tried the fruit truck for the first time and got the peaches. I wasn't impressed. Maybe it was just a bad batch of peaches. Don't listen to the people who complain about the paid promo videos. They are informative in a down to earth way.
Please send the rain to central Oregon!! There's fire's everywhere here. It's been 100 degrees for the last week and same on the forecast for next week..
Use wire fence instead of a gate to keep the cows in.

Those turkeys can stay fed by just eating all them damn mosquitoes
Joe, don't know if this works for you ,but how about two six ft gates and just chain them tight together in the middle, if it is only going to be basically for kind of an emergency situation ?
Has Melissa seen the Mobile Milking Structure on Justin Rhoads You Tube?
I'm tallking about the outdoor shelter
So are you thinking abought getting a P.H.D. attachment for the Farmall. Having large livestock means posts are a consumable commodity. Farmstead needs a name now.
How do u eat so much good food, and then go out and work. I would have to go lay down.
How about sliding by pass barn doors.
The guy that wants to trailer wants you to put new tires on it and license it and then I’ll come and get it scrap it
Then put the trailer on top of the
?

Do folks up.that way call a grill a barbecue?
I'd contact the guy and tell him his trailer is going to be on the side of the road on x date first thing in the morning. Your names not on it .
It would make an awesome trailer for hauling 4 round bales at a time.
👍👍
Did you plant rubarb? Rubarb and strawberry pie yum
Hey Joe, do you have a drone to get a aerial photo to help you with the layout? Maybe one of those sponsors can hook you up with one.
Do you need some 2 by rails inside the walls of the enclosure?
no its nice on ither video i have sent them to others and lol now they watch these video too
I'm not sure of all your plans but if your going to have then in there when it snows and blows or a blizzard are you going to be able to get in there and with your tractor to clean it when the shit builds up in it in ths spring or summer.
