    I will be sad to see the pigs go as I think they are the stars of the show. I do however understand the economics of getting rid of the pigs. Thanks

    I, for one, am glad to see both of you with smiles on your faces this morning. My farm operation plans seem to change from week to week. 2024 looks to be the year that I lock it down and make it start working and being profitable once again. Pete, Hillary, y'all are an inspiration to us all. Thank You

    @rosejohnson452 Před 7 měsíci +6

    I watch big seed and beef farmers and they spend time fixing fences and equipment, hauling grains and looking up the weather. Your smaller scale allows for time with the animals and fixing and restoration. Much more fun. Less stress. Much less debt too.

  • @coracobb3917
    @coracobb3917 Před 7 měsíci +79

    So sad no piglets. One would have though Brownie and Bossie had both been bred. Billy appeared to go thru the motions. I’m glad they’re going to get another chance.

    • @birdsndog5932

      If neither of the females was bred ….. logic would suggest looking at the male.

    • @StoneWolf2077
      @StoneWolf2077 Před 7 měsíci +3

      I'm glad Billy is getting another chance he's still young and full of life. I'm hoping they keep the pigs till old age.

    • @kh7794
      @kh7794 Před 7 měsíci

      Apparently youbmissed the part where he said they were QLL going to be butchered. The 2 have a 2nd chance if they get piglets but even then it sounds like after that they are gone too.

  • @joewilson1457

    I was more worried about you and Hilary than the animals or tractors the wife and I were just talking about how few videos you were putting out,it doesn't matter what you video just keep us informed on your well being another good video stay safe and God bless

    It’s working! It’s working! The water is working!!! 💦
    Thank you so much for bringing us back to the farm animals today. I really missed the cattle, the pigs, and the chickens! 🐄🐖🐓
    I know you gotta keep up the maintenance of your farm equipment, and you display fabulous workmanship. You have a wonderful hobby. But I get lost in all that mechanical tech stuff. 🚜
    So, today, I was so thrilled to see an update on your farm. Thank you. 😊

  • @similis1134
    @similis1134 Před 7 měsíci +35

    Your will to keep trying with the pigs despite the current situation is admirable. Will be a shame if Billy doesn't work out - he's quite a character, but it will also be understandable. Pigs are a lot of work and a lot of investment with very little return on non-industrial scale.

    • @nathangandara9607
      @nathangandara9607 Před 7 měsíci +2

      Not worth their own stench.

    • @Falney
      @Falney Před 7 měsíci +3

      There is little return on them on industrial scale. Pete would be doing a good job breaking even. Actually being able to make money off them is a stellar performance.

    • @beckyrobinson5672
      @beckyrobinson5672 Před 7 měsíci +3

    • @Falney
      @Falney Před 7 měsíci

      ​@ghammond3132 unfortunately they are the exception, not the rule.
      Especially in today's economic climate, the majority of people want cheap. Small farms can't produce cheap. Pete went pretty in depth into this a few weeks ago.
      Over here in the UK the situation is that large scale farming is to the point that after expenses, the net profit per head is in the pennies.
      If you raise 1 or 2 pigs for your own personal feed, slaughter and butcher your own meat, (very hard to do legal slaughter your self) then you can save money, but if you try to do less than 200 heads, you will loose money.

    Hey Pete! Hopefully Billy works out for you. If not, maybe I can put him out on pasture with JJ's offspring to give him another chance. Hopefully you still have my contact info. Jennie and I would love to show you the progress we've made on our small farm since you were here last. If you're ever in the area, please feel free to stop in. We hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    • @JustaFewAcresFarm

    The fall retraction of choirs. It comes with snow but gives you restoration time in the warm shop. I look forward to the Holidays with hot chocolate with the grandchildren and all their winter activities. Thank you Pete and Hillary for sharing life with us.

  • @ralphmcclellan9530
    @ralphmcclellan9530 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Bossy Pig, Billy the Boar, and Brownie have become “regulars” on the videos. Like other viewers, I will miss them and their unique personalities. I realize that farming is a business and pigs are not pets; but if I could I’d buy them and let them live out their days. Thank you, Pete, for sharing!

  • @rodflasch2330
    @rodflasch2330 Před 7 měsíci +4

    Pete, I replaced my hand Post Driver with a gas powered unit. At 60, this Geezer's shoulder, back and recovery is so much better. Just a suggestion on one guy's homestead to another guy's farm. Keep up the good work and Red Paint.

    I enjoyed this video. I hate the the fencing people didn’t come through for you. Thanks for the update the pigs and cows. Looking forward to go through the winter with you and Hillary The various projects that you have going on. I’m always excited to see what you are doing. I think the Lord you take the time to tell us about each part of the repairing of your equipment and the development of your cows and chickens..

    • @meowth900

  • @dorothylaplante7243
    @dorothylaplante7243 Před 7 měsíci +3

    It is funny how we worked so hard to get the high level education and obtained good paying jobs but what we really want is to just have a quiet corner of the world where we can grow our own food and enjoy a quiet life. At this point I am considering giving up the fancy cell phone and going back to the basic cell phone. I absolutely love your videos. So soothing for the soul. Thank you.

    We have a small hobby farm with dairy cattle and chickens so far. We’d like to add pigs soon. We have chores every day, including hand milking my cow. I STILL enjoy watching you do your farm chores while I drink my morning coffee after Bible time. I watch you do your work and it inspires me to go out and do mine! Thanks for your videos!

    The sound of the geese overhead nearly made me cry. I live in northern Arkansas now after spending years in Florida. And I never heard geese in either place. I did live near the Mississippi flyway if anybody knows what that is.. my whole life. And all the sound of the geese when the sky was filled with them is something I cherish and will remember forever. I envy you
