- Running the posts for the fence line. More rain and finally warmer weather. More time with the chickens, ducks and turkeys. Trouble with the Honda generator. Mowing the yard. Lots of raspberries starting to ripen.
Joe is the hardest working man on CZcams.
Imagine what he could get accomplished if they lived in Louisiana and didn’t have to deal with winters.
Joe works a lot, in fact does not seem to be able to sit still ! Good job he is well separated from his neighbours, mind you, pulling bracken is quiet, and you have to, it spreads.
Dealing with 20 below vs a feels like of 115 is about the same. Melissa can not stand the heat, it makes her feel sick. I do not like when it gets that cold but it is better than feeling that hot. Winters are for doing projects in the workshop and ice fishing. I will get there eventually. Lol.
Wow Joe you have a .green thumb you garden , is so nice every year. Take Joe and Melissa. ❤
I told you Joe and Melissa, y’all are so good to your animals and God will bless you for this. Such good people, Blessings! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I like watching you work. You are a man who knows how to do pretty much everything. I learn watching ! Thanks. The garden is beautiful..
I love the sound of a good thunderstorm!
9 year old chicken! Dang, that is impressive! You really do provide your chickens, and other birds too, with great lives. Very impressive Joe!
Looks great Joe and Melissa . Glad you got all the stuff from where you bought your greenhouse. Worked out good for you. Things are looking up around there. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
I love to fall asleep with a loud thunder storm and rain
Looking good Joe. What a mighty fine homestead it’s becoming the last 6 years!!!
Oh, I can hear those awful mosquitoes 🦟 every now and then 😂 - I hate those buggers!!! The farm is looking 👀 very GREEN due to all the rain 🌧️…you’re my favorite hobby farmer to watch on CZcams - thanks for sharing your journey and making such authentic, amazing vlogs ❤😊
well joe this is mr. tired.....i have a lot to do myself today but after watching your video i think i will take a nap....really it is fun watching you and how your work has the farm looking fantastic.....always ahead before proceeding....thanks again....can't wait for the cows....that will be interesting.....thanks again
Dude! You need a fence post hole digger thingy for your tractor! 💖🌞🌵😷
Loved the rain! Miss home! I’ll take your power bill.. here in California mine is running around $1,000… it’s over 100 everyday. I work until 12:30 at night & it was 94on my way home… this Minnesota girl is ready to move 😊
Yup...got to be the top of the list!
My Grandparents were dairy farmers. They had a gate on one of their pastures that was a simple 90 degree angle that had no closure. It was only the width on an adult man. The middle strand was electrified. It was about 3 feet and then turned 90 degrees and was again 3 feet long. It confused the stock so they didn’t escape but allowed fishermen to enter to fish the crick which the Commonwealth stocked. It worked well. Just giving you another idea. The gap near your gate appears large enough for a calf to escape
Check your exhaust spark arrestor. When they get carboned up they can choke out the engine.
Hey Joe & Melissa,wishing you a wonderful week ahead.❤
It's amazing how much you and mellisa have done to this property in 6 years.
I`ll bet your happy to have that kind of soil for digging fenceposts Joe. Go Joe!!!!!
I remember the "Hobby House" vids👍 Enjoyed 😀
Having worked on small engines and generators for some time I fin the biggest problem is running small engines on any kind of gas with ethanol in it. It will cause croshion on any aluminum or cast metals and clog up the carb passages. I now only use non-ethanol regular gas ( we have a couple of stations that sell it) or if necessary premium. No longer have problems! Good luck! Great video on your up comming dairy operation!!!
Agreed 💯 % 😊
I think a skid steer and a brush hog would work really well for you there Joe.
Absolutely correct a skid steer would benefit Joe working on the homestead too many attachments to list that would be a benefit him and his work CHEERS
Once you have your main pasture fenced use woven wire fencing to divide it up into sections. We do that with sheep and beef . It works great.
Rotational grazing..sounds excellent. Everything looks great 😅
Joe its called rotational grazy.
When u move your cows daily. hope it helps.
I love where you live and the property is amazing. But the mosquitos you can keep.🤣
Joe I think your having same problem I had , you need one way check valve on sump pump, when your pump stops pumping, water is draining back into basket , super easy to install.
Question: Have you or Melissa had cows in the past? The reason I ask is because cows, or any large animal breed, take several years to learn. I've had both beef and dairy, heifers, steers, and bulls, and I understand the animal. My first recommendation is to find quality mentors to answer questions and who can offer help when needed. Whenever a problem/issue with a 2,000/3,000/4,000 pound animal occurs, you need help with at least one or two experienced people who will likely be familiar with and know how to safely address the issue. Secondly, spend physical time with each animal. Brush them. Pet and scratch them. Apply fly ointment to their fur. Talk to them and show affection. Cows who are raised without much human contact can be aggressive toward people. Finally, you must manner any large animal. In an 1800's veterinary manual I learned the best advice of all, to make sure they regard you with 50% love (being their reliable feeder) and 50% fear, meaning they are afraid to be aggressive toward you or Melissa. You both need to study up on mannering cattle. I've had every large farm animal and can tell you that, bar none, cows are my favorite. They are quite wonderful if you raise them right, and they are not a complicated animal like horses. One more thing: If you intend to keep just a few, halter-train them all. It's a lot easier to lead a cow onto a trailer, for instance, or into a headlock than to talk them into it, and such are times when they can get mad and squirrly if they don't want to do what you need them to do. Just as there are reasons to leash-train dogs, same with cows and all revolving around safety. Hope this helps.
We had cows (steers) when I was growing up, I have spent a lot of time with them but it has been a long time. The cow is halter trained and the lady is actually working with her to refresh her on the halter training during this two month time prior to them coming home. It will be a learning experience and I appreciate the advice. I need to go talk to the people at the end of the (for now) dirt road we live on, they have probably 75 head of Angus. The people across the road from them have maybe a half dozen. Lots of cow people that live close by. Thank you.
A Ryobi auger from Home Depot would assure that you don’t end up with another hernia from digging post holes. They don’t cost much and we use one on our farm in Ohio.
The older I get, the more of a Minimalist I have become.
Absolutely correct it’s what I need not what I want do without shit sifting needles garbage CHEERS
We wish we had an additional 100 acres., 160 would be nice and we look for good deals all the time. Lol.
@@NorthernSeclusion
Might be worth it to get a post hole auger that runs off the PTO shaft for changing fence lines. We did it when we had the farm and that allowed us to use 16-18 inch cedar posts with knee braces at all corners to make stringing barbed wire easier.
Great video joe
Awesome video to watch
Again bro send some rain to ky lol my garden dying water bill higher trying to water not the same we maybe had a inch in 6 weeks
It is raining outside right now as I type this.
@@NorthernSeclusion lord how mercy
26:31 because of messing around with the battery, the door some how locked with the keys inside, now he hangs the keys in the outside door lock so it's right there, but not inside where it can get locked in. 💖🌞🌵😷
Duck eggs are the best...
I love watching a carpenter installing fence its over a inch.
Hey Joe I just wanted to let you know that the car of Melissa’s boy he should definitely find another way to cover his car!!! I have seen more cars ruined by people putting car covers and tarps over their vehicles to try and preserve them!! The covers will definitely hold moisture underneath the tarps or even really good car covers and will cause them to rust out much quicker!!! I no a guy that had a whole bunch of old mopar muscle cars and he had covered the really expensive ones and he ended up getting sick!!! After several years of being sick he had gotten older and decided that he would not have time to work on them before he passed away he had Dennis Colleen’s come and look at them and buy and Dennis and up buying most of them but after he bought them and started taking the car covers off all them he had found that the car covers definitely ruined the cars to almost none repair able!! I just thought I’d let you know so that maybe Melissa’s boy could find another way to try and protect his awesome muscle car!!!!
Fuel filter is in the is inside the enclosure at the fuel shutoff assembly.If you open the side door and look carefully its sorta visible behind the carburetor but not easy to get to without doing some disassembly.
I removed indoor ferns and all but a little of the bracken in my garden due to asthma and the fern spores were one of the things i had to avoid. But thats just me. They are pretty but they take over and they make your hands stink bad if you pull them and the itch of those brown hairs make me nuts
I hook my generator up to my camper once a quarter for about and hour to keep everything fresh!
I do almost every Saturday in the summer.
Here in my part of Southwest VA, we have only had 1.51 inches of rain since the last week in May. It is a tough year for a garden!
We are at around 19 inches so far this year. Last year it was very dry, just the opposite this year.
I am in PA and have barely had any rain all summer. I have to water my small garden every other day as most days we are in the 90s. I have a female doberman puppy whose urine is killing the grass. Brown spots and looks mostly dead. Hot, dry summer but still enjoying the beautiful days.
The new pasture looks magnificent 👍
Love, a good thunderstorm!! 😅
Sounds like the carbruetter needs cleanng in a ultra sound bath. Then dry it out. Also change the fuel filter every year.
I bet that ol deer shack has some stories to tell. That’s cool beans right there.
Joe you over think to much. Sure glad you have Melissa to set you straight.
Are you planning on getting milk cows before winter? If so you better plan on some heated area for milking station and so those cows don't freeze
Maybe you missed it, but he already discussed that in this video I think or maybe it was the previous one. Go take a look and he explain it quite well. 🙂
I covered that completely in the farmhouse video prior to this one.
@@NorthernSeclusion I didn't see the video and tried to view it but it's all blurry and the sound is choppy
Joe think about converting your Honda 3000 to (dual fuel) propane and only use gas when absolutely necessary. Issues with bad or old gas go away. I converted my 2 Honda 2000’s five years ago and have had no issues - both work great. Hutch Mountain makes a kit specifically for the Honda eu3000i. Good luck with the Farmstead!
Most likely the gas filter is in the tank .
If I remember correctly the shut off valve come off , filter will come out with the valve .
Could you use your ice fishing auger (the thingy you use to make holes in the ice) to dig fence post holes? 💖🌞🌵😷
Thanks Joe! Your farm is really beautiful! Always enjoy your channel! !
busy busybusy busy!
too bad about the chickens, but good thing you got the new ones.
👍👍
I’m curious where you plan on cutting some brush out from the trees for the cows shady spots during the summers. Our friends ended up making an additional overhead structure for summer showers cause the cows would just tough it out rather than going back to the barn area.
When you clean carbs you need to take the jets and emulsion tube out and make sure they are clear. You could get propane carbs for the generators and never have to clean them again. They are $10-20 from China.
You need a a farm hand,lots of work ,sometimes it takes two to do stuff,maybe a summer helper..school kid maybe
25:35 if you burn it in the middle of winter, will your tree still be in danger (can't see from this angle). 💖🌞🌵😷
With all those post to install you should have invested in a post hole digger for the tractor.
People must think that digging holes for posts is hard work, or they are afraid of a little work. I don't get it.
@@NorthernSeclusion sorry for suggesting something that might make work easier.
Here in Pittsburgh PA we haven’t had rain since before the 4TH, and 90s everyday
About 19 inches so far this year here. My weather station says 1.14 since July 1st but that would be higher since the rain gauge had the dirt in it.
I’m in mid-Wisconsin farm country - and we’ve had rainfall like everyday! No garden watering needed - the sky is providing it all! 😅
Did you see the story where in the winter a farmer didn't see his cows for sometime and neighbors had a new house built. The cows got in and destroyed the inside and they had pictures. Totally messed up! My property is completely fenced and certain sections are fenced which I have been removing. Last year walking to the building I looked towards the pastures and a buck had his antlers stuck in the fence and looking at the ground could tell he had been there awhile. I walked up to him and he came loose. Not sure what I could have done for him.
You sure do accomplish alot Joe!! Awesome work 💪🏽
They raised the price per kilowatt check the difference last year to this, just smile and bare it.
Turkeys are growing.
Woohoo!
Zack to the rescue
Your a super impressive guy Joe, been watching your videos for years now, are you still working on homes with your crew, maybe I missed it but I haven't seen you talk about your crew of guys like you used to.
Stabizer in fule use preameum 😊
Puff puff pass 🔥💨💨💨
Aloha joe!!
No, according to what I was told when we got ours I was told that Mascot he's only breed with Mascovies
The ducks will breed and have babies but those babies will be sterile. I just looked it up. Not a good way to grow a flock but a good way to make some dinners.
Joe why don’t you use the bush hog on the farmall for the long grass/brush??
Need to remove the jet from the carb and clean it. Just need flat tip screwdriver after removing the carb bowl
Joe try some SEAFOAM Too clean Jets.
Stay away from ethanol if at all possible!
Animals are smart enough to not eat things toxic too them as long as they have other things to eat, if theres nothing for them to eat they will eat things they normally wouldn't
That is my concern, so until I see how our pastures hold up to having cattle on them I am weary of fencing in any area with large amounts of something that could cause a problem.
we are running at 104 here in this part of colorado
We hit 86 yesterday, the warmest day we have had all year. Today I think 75 is the high and then tomorrow something like only 68.
do you keep the turkeys, chickens, and ducks in the same coop all the time or just during the day? Have you had any problems doing this? Thank you
I have them together always. I have done this for as long as I can remember and never had any trouble. Sometimes the turkeys will not want to go in at night but as of yesterday, they went in by themselves. Keeping the water and food inside the run or coop keeps them going back in.
why, with the apparently good soil, do you not use the big ice "drill" to do most of the work of hole digging?
It would take me longer to get all that dragged out than it does to dig the hole. Also, have you ever tried lifting them up when it is heavy sand? It really sucks and the sides tend to cave in. Building decks, I have drilled over a thousand holes and one of the worst as far as how hard the work is, is using a hand held auger. It is way more work than it is worth.
When are you going to get the goats, pigs and sheep?? Wouldn't that be wild?!
Take out the spark arrester many videos about that problem with Honda 300 generator, see mountain mariner
It is working perfect now as you saw in this video.
Why does the new pup have a muzzle on?
run some sea form in it...
Your road isn’t paved yet? WTH are they doing?
👍😎🇨🇦🌿
When are you going back to the tent Joe
I think I have to do a Jackery dedicated battery video this coming week, it has not been delivered here yet, but there is a deadline so it better get here very quickly. I need to look and see. Not sure if i will do double tent videos or not. I need to mow up there badly. Stay tuned.
Mineral water man mineral water
got a deal for you. Ill send you some of our 99 degree heat for some rain
let us out! lol
The next video which is filming now, we let them all out and they are very happy.
Are you concerned with wolves in your area? I live in upper Wi about 3 hrs southeast of Duluth and have wolves in my area. I know you have issues up by your tent but what about the farmhouse?
We have seen a wolf on the trail camera twice since we moved in. They must not stick around much though because I see no decline in all the feral cats we have here.
i dont know it looks like a shark nato
Great video! Did you sell the forklift?
No,I have not had time to figure out why I cant get it to start so I can move it. Anyone wanting to buy it can let me know in my email.
Is the tractor sinking… or is it because you have winter chains on the tires still??
I showed the ruts made from the front tires. Chains have zero to do with sinking in, in fact, they help you climb out when you get in deeper than you wanted. They have saved me many times.
how many cows are you getting? 48
You need 1 to 5 acres per cow (depending on how good your grass is) to have good grazing. We are fencing about 4 acres and that is if we fence that whole side field. To "graze" 48 cows, you would need 100 acres and still need hay as a supplement.
Joe why ye doing all that with animals?you have the garden,yard,house,new building,fruits,wood too cut,machinery maintenance,cabin etc etc,how do you honestly think your going too keep it all done??🤔🤔🤔🤔
I always keep up.
Why do the dogs have a thing on there mouths in your yard
so they don’t bite other dogs, animals or people
Brush hog man
Been alot cheaper to just buy raw milk
Depends on who you are. We buy raw milk now and its about 12 dollars a gallon and a 30 minute drive one way to get it. Melissa makes butter and cheese etc. Getting back to what I said about it depends on who you are. These cows will pay for themselves just by me doing videos on them. Think before you speak.
I love your videos. But not your advertising of products, your turning into everyone else please stay the same.
This video had no advertising of products. I will not change, how about you read the title before you click on it since the title clearly states what the video is going to be. I have bills to pay and unless someone starts sending me a check to stop doing separate dedicated review videos everything has to stay like this. I mean no disrespect at all, but I cant make it any more clear in the title what the videos are going to be. It is you that has to choose.
@@NorthernSeclusion I like watching the videos of products. I learned a lot about generators. My life is so totally different than theirs, but i still enjoy watching and learning how they live.
