I always put my heavy toolboxes and other heavy items at the cab end of the truck bed. I found out that when you make a sudden stop that everything slides forward with force and ruin your day.
As an old farmer i remember the excitement of moving on to and building up a new place. It was the best time of my life. Now its over and i enjoy you young folk experiencing the same feeling of excitement i had. 😊 I dont think they actually read this. No heart 🥺😪
I think Maple is a good name. ❤❤❤ Yay to your breeding program being available again. Looking forward to all the cute babies in 9-12 months depending on when the girls get pregnant. ❤❤❤
You should always be prepared when you leave from the house bed you have your tools in your vehicle at all times a jack in case you have a bad tire, a tire kit to plug the hole in the tire if you have to add a small air compressor to fill your tire unless you have AAA and they’ll do it for you But always be prepared for the unexpected. I keep a first aid kit in my vehicle, a tire kit. I always keep emergency space blankets, and regular blankets in my vehicle in a box just in case you never know, and I also carry a couple emergency sleeping bags that you can throw in your glove box. They’re quite convenient always be prepared like a Boy Scout and a Girl Scout will tell you the same thing always❤❤❤
I think Fern. You have a field of ferns. Which is beautiful. She is like the book where the red fern grows. Been watching several years. Continue forward. 🙏
Highland Bulls are no joke Al, their horns are powerful and they can put on some serious weight and become big heavy animals. Get yourself a decent crush, that has ease of movement for the bull's horns, and allows for side access. So that you or a vet can work on the bull without fear of being injured. I am not sure DIY is the way to go for a Highland Bull. Take care D
When you hook up a trailer, you should cross the chains. If the trailer comes off the ball, the crossed chains form a cradle that keeps the tongue from dropping to the pavement.
I have not forgotten Figaro. I have your T-shirt with Figaro on the front of it and every time I wear it I wonder if he’ll come home I just keep praying that she’s at somebody’s house relaxing and maybe someday he’ll come home😮😮😮
@@col2560 You'd be amazed at how handy toilet paper can be, and not just for the original / intended purpose. I save some "almost gone" rolls in zip-loc bags and stash them in my car.
I’m glad that you’ve replaced your bull. The loss of which in previous cost you two much in care, love and frustration of plans. I’m very happy for your new bull. God bless your lives at Lumnah Acres
(6:04) A Figaro sticker! Oh, man! I sure miss seeing that good, little fella. What a great friend and companion he was to y'all! Always wanted to spend time with you when you were working 'round the farms, always adventurous and brave, always friendly, and, of course, always handsome! He was absolutely my favoritest li'l web-cat ever! I would say "RIP Figaro," but I don't think it was ever officially confirmed that he is deceased (however probable that may well be, considering the circumstances), just "missing," and he certainly lives on in your hearts and minds, in your old videos, and, I am sure, many people's hearts, like mine, so I'll just say, farewell, friend Figaro! You are well missed! I sure hope you will make the Figaro stickers part of your merch!
I'll NEVER forget the time I took my new truck on a trip to Cape Cod. I was going to trailer my horse down with me but at the last minute change my mind as there was a heat wave. Thank God I listened to my gut. Driving through Boston the truck just STOPPED. That was my first experience with Vaper Lock. .. the good old days. As stressed as I was I was so grateful I did NOT have any livestock in tow. I totally agree.. when trailoring animals you can't have enough tools, jacks, tires.. etc. Safety first. Hope for the best.. plan for the worst. 🙏 👍
Good morning! I saw someone suggest RUBY for the new girl on the farm. I vote for that name. I must confess when it comes to road trip my first concern is always the food we take, more than the tools. Lol. Who wants to starve while they are broken down on the side of the road waiting for AAA? 😏
I always throw in a small piece of plywood for the jack, just in case the ground is wet. Where I live, there are not many rocks. And having a flat tire never happens in a convenient place. 😊😉
I'm an ole Girl scout too, 7 years, we are always prepared! Good to see you are too! Were you a Boy Scout?. I was our local Boy scout assistant leader, we didn't have any available men who could donate their time. Man let me tell you, those little boys wore me out! But it was loads of fun!!
Your packing plans are spot on. Definitely going prepared for worse case scenarios. Especially with trucks and trailers a big jack is a must! A good Synthetic snatch rope would be handy.
Thank you for your service! I’m retired army so of course being prepared is instilled in me as well. It’s so true, that one time I forgot my go bag didn’t I break down?! Nope, lesson learned…😉✌🏼🫡
Someone suggested Fern as a name for the new gal. I like that name. Second would be Bella, as Grampa Doss just lost a pet pig named Bella, or Nala, a beloved dog his son Kyle ( K & S Get Out) just lost.
Suggestion; look for the old used round big street sweeper brush ( one that goes across the front of the machine), put it vertical on a sturdy pole, the the cows, and bull can scratch/ brush themselves.
Yell, I carried a good supply of tools in my truck. They stayed in the truck, l had other tools in my shop and another set of tools at my job. The tools in my truck cost $3700. That’s what the insurance company paid to replace what was stolen. That was the only time I had any trouble carrying tools.
Nice additions to your homestead. I saw the name, Ginger, suggested. I think it suits her colouring. Great video, you guys! I really like learning about these cows.
My daddy raised us to ALWAYS be prepared for anything👍🏻, he raised me right, I can change a flat, change the oil and all the fluids. Name for “new girl” Cowgirl😁. God bless y’all😇🙏🏻
In a job I had in the past, They carried extra tools parts in the cargo hold of the airliner... They called it a flyaway kit. Extra tires, brakes, etc. The mechanics had their tools too.
Good evening Lloyd! I'm in the Pacific Northwest now. The weather here just changed to be more Fall like. I like it! I hope it's cooling down for you too.
That is awesome you were able to get another Bull ! And I think a good name for the new girl could may be ( Country's) Rose 😊. But what ever you end up naming her I am sure will be a wonderful name . I love watching your channel.... I never miss an episode.
Your right Al, things can happen when your traveling in your vehicle. I even take an extra fan belt just in case I run over a critter out on the road and the carcass some how gets up into the engine compartment and destroys the belt or belts. Carrying an extra qt. of oil is another precaution I take also. I know most people don't think about this one, but putting a can of fix-a-flat or a tire plug system can help too! :)
Having worked in emergency roadside it is wise to be prepared especially when travelling with a trailer and livestock. It would shock you how many people have no idea what kind of car they have or if they even have a spare tire.
Good Morning Lumnah Acres & friends I want to say that Figaro is not forgotten but yet he still might show up I had a cat gone for a year and one day showed back up so keep praying and so glad you didn’t give up on the highlands I love highland cows prayers things go better this time around but that’s farm life & sometimes it’s hard ❤🙏❤️
Good morning friends at Lumnah. Yes you are right to have what you need on a road trip that's way I would do . I hope all goes well in being safe . God bless you all.
I've carried a tool box in my vehicle since I started driving. That was 56 years ago. Better safe than sorry. A couple of different adjustable wrenches were my SAE/Metric set.
An idea for you to consider. the safety chains on your trailer connection would help reduce a possible problem of the hitch digging in to the pavement if you crossed them under the hitch
I always take tools and a spare or two just like you do. After being in the towing business for years I’ve seen it all. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best!!!
Love the new lifestock additions. I can't wait to see some of the calves and maybe in particular the first calf of the Highland - Jersey mix. I've also noticed and appreciated how wonderful you treat your animals. Not all homesteaders do that. Looking for to more additions but this is definately a good start! Yeah, Al and GIna. You're awesome.
I’m a BIG proponent of trying to be prepared for all emergency. I would also recommend 2 more items Hi lift Jack Wood block with ramp angles to drive good wheel up on ramp so you can change flat tire David
Good morning Al lumnah and family. Yes I take the same with me. Try and cover all bases in case of a problem. The new bull looks good. Solid build. The new cow should be very happy at her new home. . The highlands should like your cooler climate. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Ginger for the new girl or Fancy! You have a nice herd, and they are so calm. Looks like Black Beauty striving to be alfa cow 🐄 . I keep Figaro and all the critters in my daily prayers. Wouldn't it be great if he was just on a road trip. What a sweetheart. 🐈⬛️
When I was a child, we had a cat that would disappear in the early spring and reappear in the fall. We never knew where he went to, but he would come back like he had never left. We had farmland on three sides of us at the edge of town. Figaro might be hanging around in the woods or fields.
Greetings from Germany... Al you're definitely not crazy... a tool box of essential tools and any anticipated spare parts are essential. Knowing your personal capabilities and your equipment capabilities and limits is a must. plan for the worst & weather and hope for the best.

I feel bad for your Bull being all by himself 😥 are you going to get him a pasture pal?
@@kimberlyschiele1117
In the story, one of Black Beauty's early friends was Ginger. I think that'd suit the new girl. :)
OHH YES! My daughter just read the book and can confirm
Love this suggestion!
Ginger fit's her color! That would be the best, 2nd- Bonnie!
Great idea! I was trying to think of a name from that book, and could only remember Merrylegs.
@@tmaryso43williams10 I love the name Bonnie, for Bonnie Raitt. Another famous redhead.

Everyone keeps saying “Maple” and I keep liking it.
Congratulations on the New Bull. He is handsome!!!
Nice to see old friends reunited. I've always believed it's better to have tools and not need them than to need them and not have them.
When you get that 3500 truck with a diesel fuel fuel tank in the bed, make sure you get the one with a tool box built in😊

And never turn your back on him. They can move quickly and if they are having an "off" day, just be very careful around him.
When you hook up a trailer, you should cross the chains. If the trailer comes off the ball, the crossed chains form a cradle that keeps the tongue from dropping to the pavement.
I thought that Al did that when he connected.
I came to the comments to see who else thought that same thing.
He did
I have not forgotten Figaro. I have your T-shirt with Figaro on the front of it and every time I wear it I wonder if he’ll come home I just keep praying that she’s at somebody’s house relaxing and maybe someday he’ll come home😮😮😮
Never go without what you might need. Jack. Spare. Tools. Water. Toilet paper. Etc.
Toilet paper ?
Seriously ?
@@col2560 You'd be amazed at how handy toilet paper can be, and not just for the original / intended purpose. I save some "almost gone" rolls in zip-loc bags and stash them in my car.

I miss Figaro too .And CWC
When e was about 12 I had a cow named Rosie !!! Because she was always happy to see me and everyone
The new girl is such a pretty color like Penney or Ruby.
My grandmother's favorite name for her milk cow was "Buttercup". She had at least three with this name as I was growing up.
Since y'all do coffee, black beauty, half and half, and late seem like a good combination.
I'll NEVER forget the time I took my new truck on a trip to Cape Cod. I was going to trailer my horse down with me but at the last minute change my mind as there was a heat wave.

The new cow could be a Dolly with the country bull
Haha! Didn't know you chose Dolly too! I agree...it's perfect 😊
"Ruby"!! That's what I thought when she stepped out of the trailer!!🥰
Scottish girls names Bonnie, Paisley, Freya, Maisey, Grace ,Gracey
You forgot Morag, Ailsa and Seonaid!
I vote Maisey
Love Bonnie... I'll add one. Applecross, a place in Scotland where Highland Cattle are from!
My spaniel is a Paisley. *adds Annie and Jean to Scottish names list.
Excellent name suggestions!!
It pays to always be prepared.👍

Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres and friends! Hope everyone is having a safe and wonderful week.
Good morning, Elizabeth - Thank you - wishing you the same!
Omg love how you spelled it how Al says it.
Jumper cables for you or someone else along the side of the road. Almost forgot the most important one your wife Gina to keep you company.
Cinnamon would be a good name for the new girl!
I think she looks like a Cinnamon.
You are ready to help other people on the road who need help.
Hello from rocky mid-coast Maine, US....
But you forgot to bring the duck tape and some baling wire!
My husband used to always have his box of tools for the truck and trailer. I don’t think that being prepared is a bad thing, happy trailes
A name for the new girl is Abbie. I love seeing them in the new pasture. Country definitely a laid back bull. Lumnah Acres is a growing farm. ❤
I always throw in a small piece of plywood for the jack, just in case the ground is wet. Where I live, there are not many rocks. And having a flat tire never happens in a convenient place. 😊😉
Highlands are just so adorable- can’t wait to see what the cross babies look like!

Maple, Rosa and Abbie are all good names for the new girl. I like Rosa for her color on camera ❤

Calming names bc Highlands are calming. Serenity, Harmony, Skye, Willow,
Skye- and then new ones can carry on the highland/island theme- Harris, Hoy, Westray, Cullen, Rona as many Scottish places as you want.
