    Sorry your horses were injured, glad they are going to be OK! I’m not sure how long I’ve been following your channel, but I look forward to each new video. You have an amazing family and I think your kids are amazing and I think they are going to be amazing adults. Hard to believe Wes is only 14, he is very mature for his age! Austin is an amazing horsewoman, she seems to have inherited some really good genes! Such a hard working family, wish you the best always!

    @drddianesbryant Před rokem +6

    Meredith, according to the folks on @Farm on Route 66, if there is ever a bleed out on farm animals or even people, use Helichrysum oil to stop the bleeding. They keep it for their horses when they castrate them, if they bleed excessively and they also keep it in their vehicles in the event it is needed in an accident. It’s fairly expensive, but I would keep it for sure if I were a farmer. I’m so glad the horses will be alright! Love y’all!!

    The scissors like tool is called a Hemostat, but in my college daze [1970-1975] we called them a ROACH clip to hold the end of a joint,so as to not burn our fingers when smoking a 420 joint FYI

    Use canned spray foam (expandable)to fill all holes in your gates to keep the bee's out. The foam will fill the holes and keeps the bee`s away.

    • @anguscattle580
      @anguscattle580 Před rokem +3

      that will possibly trap condensation inside and rust the gate out

    • @jamesclark9347
      @jamesclark9347 Před rokem +2

      Bees here in Arizona ate right through that foam? Had to use caulking to seal up the spaces.

    • @edwarddavis507
      @edwarddavis507 Před rokem

      I’ve used the foam with success. I guess it depends on how bad the hornets are. I did have some success with the bee traps. The best trap I’ve seen was on CZcams where farmer used chicken as bait on the back of a board hung upside down over a tub of soapy water.

    @davidcarlton2472 Před rokem +1

    A little trick from my past. Dangle a rope from the rafters that marks the center of the driver when pulling into a high barn. It can be adjusted so that it hang down to center on the drivers nose when pulling into a tight spot. Another can to added if a stop point is needed. Just an idea that works when a spotter is not available. A tennis ball can be added to make it easier to see in a light restricted area..

    I’m so sorry about the horses. I’m so thankful that the vet got there and fixed him up. Poor fella. I know that had to be scary and nerve racking. That sure looked like a fire ant bed. If so I would definitely be treating those beds. They are evil and spread so quickly. Sure don’t want them around new baby calves. I really enjoy y’all teaching the kids what y’all are doing and how to do it. They’re so smart and definitely always there to help. Y’all are doing fantastic, raising the beautiful, handsome and smart kids. I personally believe that home schooling is so much better than public schools. Glad y’all got Gerdy (spelling 🤷🏻‍♀️) 2.0 in. I’m so happy for y’all that you were able to get her. Such a blessing. Your whole family is amazing and I appreciate you sharing with us so much. 💕

We had bought a bigger place for all of our horses and apparently he either stepped in a hole or one of the other horses kicked him , but he had a compound fracture on his left rear leg , and it was my 9 year old sons , who is 40 now with 3 kids of his own . Talking about making a grown man cry , would never want me , or anyone else to hafta go through that again 😪 . Glad ol Hank is gonna be alright 🙏❤🚜🇺🇲

    Sorry to hear the, boys, horses didn't get along. That happens sometimes, hopefully they can get acquainted over the stall wall and be more civil in the future. Glad to see G2 going under the shed. Hope LB and Wesley can get the brake to loosen up. Great to see Austin in the tractor. Maybe in the bigger field she can get in the driver's seat and get some hands-on experience. I agree with LB about Wesley needs to learn sometime. He already does quite a bit, but there is always more to learn. Stay safe and well.

  • @angiereneau5716
    @angiereneau5716 Před rokem +1

    @richdillon2157 Před rokem +1

    Hey Meredith, I was always taught that you can't put a odd number of horses together. Never 3,5,7,9, and so on, Especially 3 Geldings.. 2,4,6,8, and so on you can put together. And the same goes for Mares too. I know you see Brood Mares all out in the same Pasture, If there raised together your good, But don't bring an outside Mare in to the fold. Yeah they might know each other over the fence, But I think Pete was showing his dominance and he Thinks he is the boss and that is how the Fight got started. Now my Grandfather taught that to me when I was at a young age and Now that I'm 63 and still have horses, I still practice that same lesson. Yeah LB might say Bull, lol... but it works for me and has for 40 + years.
    Enjoyed your video, Thanks for sharing.

  • @thomasaccuntius9946
    @thomasaccuntius9946 Před rokem

    Here is a tip to put the combine in the barn. Pull the combine up to the barn and get it centered where you want it. Then hang a tennis ball on a string from a rafter so it is lined up with the steering column and fouches the windshield. Then when you pull in just line up with the ball with the steering wheel column ,then swing the ball out of the way and pull in.

    Couldn't help but notice the @BirdsEye pack. I grow peas for BirdsEye for freezing. Great company to be involved with over here in the UK..Another great video Meredith.

    Every time I'd drive by a combine for sale, I'd think of you guys! Glad you finally upgraded!
