I'm glad you are getting a chance to include your wife and kids in improving your homestead. A family that works together and feels like they're part of the land.
Hey Sean! I think you need to give yourself a little more credit. I’ve watched you for almost a year now and there’s not too many things you do that I’d question! You’re a dang hard worker with a great attitude towards whatever’s in front of you. Happy new year to you and yours!
It's a wonderful thing watching you working with your kids. Teaching them how to do things and what work is. Living in the country is definitely a different lifestyle than the city. Plus, there's so much to do and learn in the country that can't be done in a city or town. I believe you learn more about family because there's fewer things distracting a family in day to day life.
Family projects are the best. I learned a lot of new words and a lot of new skills from my dad doing farm work as a youngster. Mom wasn't impressed with the words though
NIce to see your family having fun working together. This wholesome type of activity is sorely lacking in today's world. Thank you so much for sharing!
This is definitely turning into one of my favourite channels, actually it is one of my favourite channels 👍. Your content seeing you either working with your dad & teaching your young ones the best way to learn is heartwarming & for me a much needed therapy. This year I’m to try to function like I used to both physically & mentally & watching your content is exactly the type of inspiration I really need, thank you & God bless 🙏👍😊❤️
I love this channel. I grew up on a ranch in southwestern South Dakota (still live there). We never had fancy equipment or money for new materials. We repurposed things to suit our needs and always tried to make the best out of what we had. I see a lot of similarities as I watch your channel, Sean. You're gonna do alright, my friend. You don't give yourself enough credit sometimes. I have built quite a few corrals and fencelines with drill stem pipe, but I have never used concrete on them. I always cut them to roughly 10 foot lengths then drove them into to ground with a skidloader mounted hydraulic T post pounder....worked great. Your method will work just fine, I am sure. Have fun welding the top rail on. I used to cuss drill stem pipe when I had to weld on it.....magnetized pipe is not fun. Good to see the kiddo's halter breaking the steers....I remember eating a pound or two of dirt while doing that back in the day.
That was pretty cool seeing the kids with their steer. Being a city boy, I didn't have any such experience growing up. The fence is looking good. Sometimes "better than is was" is all we can ask for!
Great project for the family. You reminded me of the days when my granddad would always remind me that you level a horizontal items and plumb a post or vertical items. I can almost hear him. Thanks for sharing the project.
Hunter's dad showed us how easy mixing bags of concrete on a tarp can be. It's probably less effort than trying to mix water into the dry powder holes. No more mixing fence post concrete in a wheelbarrow with a garden hoe for me. I love your varied content.
A method I learned is not to use concrete. Especially with wooden posts. Use clean sifted gravel instead (washed is more expensive. The reason being is the post rots off right at the top of the concrete. Whereas using gravel, the water percolates through the gravel and drains out the bottom of the hole. The post remains solid, no movement. I did my deck piers that way. The top of the deck eroded away, When I installed the new deck The piers were still solid and I built the new deck on top of them. There is a definite cost savings. Good job with the channel Shawn, Sean, Shaun.... Good content, and it's a pleasure seeing your family work together.
Just an FYI, if you ever need to move another building like that, screw a 20’ piece of 1-1 1/2” PVC to the ridge of the roof with at least 10’ hanging off the front. Flex the leading end down and tie it down to the building or trailer. Any overhead lines will be raised up and glide over the roof and nobody needs to be anywhere near the electrical hazard. This has worked well for me in the past as I have moved buildings. Stay safe and keep bringing us interesting videos. Thanks.
It is a good idea except for the high tension power lines. They are running up to 25 kV. It is not a safe thing to do. The voltage down stream of the transformer is only 240V and your method will work here. Point being to know what you"re dealing with before attempting this hack.
We did something similar with a two bay garage we hauled from 5 towns away! We took a roll of 2” cts water line fastened it to the ridge and let about 5 ‘ angle down off the gable end on some quickly thrown together framing off the same gable! Every single line we came to that was to low just rode right up and over the top !!! Worked beautifully and didn’t even have to hardly slow down any more than we already was! This was a 28x32 two car garage!!
Awesome job. Nice to see family time and working together. Those show calves are massive. One thing I have done in the past is had a bottle of milk and used that to get the calves use to the me and used it to lead them as well till they got really really quit to the point they would happily just follow with out even the lead rope and slowly could get them use to weight on there back and eventually able to ride them and got them use to heaps of noise so they were bomb proof in the arena. Kids had a blast Your kids are so blessed.
Steers look good! Love a good baldie steer. We have 4 different neighbor girls feeding out steers. They wanted to do 4H and FFA projects but didn't have a place. It's fun. My kids are too old and grandkids no 31:28 t old enough. Keep showing the kids and calves. Nothing makes better kids than meaningful responsibility. Your kids are learning it young. I keep reminding myself we aren't raising steers we are raising kids. Steers just happen to be the tool.
This episode brings back LOTS of memories. Some of kids and their show animals and some of mixing and pouring more than my fair share of concrete. Never poured dry mix and add water method, though. Hope it works out!
Nice family project bringing back memories building fences with my dad and brothers. Minus the tractor we were using a shovel by hand! Always enjoy seeing your videos.
Showed cattle in high school 30years ago . We had some interesting events halter breaking . It’s a good thing for a young person to see how tuff they think they are
Another good video. Working with your children and wife in improving your homestead, isn't so much hard work, as it is having a good time together, while teaching your children skills, and the results of good, honest work. Your videos are pretty laid-back and interesting, and one of my favorite podcasts to watch now.
You are setting those fence pipes to withstand the elements very well. On my fence poles, the holes were 3-4 foot deep, but smaller in diameter. Initial pole placement included medium sized rocks in first around post, check for level, then add regular Redi-mix bagged concrete... About one bag per pole / post. Think your fence poles will survive the wind and cattle tests for a long time, if rust inhibited, zinc coated.
I do a similar thing apart from I use a piece of 1/2 inch 13 mm plastic pipe about 4 foot long and at the end there's dozens of holes drilled going up 1,&1/2 foot and the end is mostly melted shut. That's attached to the hoes pipe so when it's plunged into the sack concrete the water goes through it all. It work perfectly nearly as good as mixing in a barrow before pouring but without the worry of cleaning up or setting in the barrow before you've used it .
We never mix concrete for posts, just dump the dry concrete in the hole. I also live in Michigan. Great to see the kids helping. Lasting memories. Someday they will tell stories about building that fence. I didn't realize you were a farmer. We have even more in common. 👍 🐄
Having an auger to put in steel pipe for fence posts sure is a lot easier that using post hole diggers for sure. Been on the working end of some post hole diggers a lot more than I ever wanted to. Those and the hand held slam type T-post drivers just about wrecked my hands. But you know some times it was still fun. Not that at 68 I want I want to be building any more fence. If I did or do build any more I'll figure out some way to use and auger for sure. Those thorny trees look a bit like Black Locus. If that's what they are you may want to treat the stumps with something to keep they from growing back from the stumps sense Black Locus will do that.
Gotta love that Raycon cheddar. Nice that the protective case also comes in a cheesey color. Glad to see your channel grow so quickly. I hope you will fare well.
May not be perfectly straight but the cows won't know the difference. Gary at Walker Fam Farm puts his poles in the same way with the cement and water in the hole.
As a young man I could never keep new years resolutions. On Jan 1 1974 I made a resolution to never make another resolution. Turned out to be an easy resolution to keep!
I remember my first show cow he was a handful at first then as time went on he got where all I had to do was talk to him and he would do what ever you wanted
27:36 I don’t think it’s the lazy way, I’ve mixed enough 80 pounders to know mixing it first always always is stronger and longer. Especially in dry ground. The water table would have to be really high to even entertain that. Love the work with the kids tho, call mine squirt too lol. Have a good week Sean. Oh and you must be having a mild winter, peck brothers had snow. You dodged a bullet there lol. Must be a county to county thing 😂
Is that earth cement that you're using? If it is, you could mix it with the dirt you dug from the holes and you'd be able to stretch the mix further with fewer bags of cement.
@@frostys64 Okay. Thanks for responding to the question. I like that about you guys that have channels in Utah. You're not so busy that you don't connect with your fans.

Once you get the top rail on and the fence fastened to the poles, it will be a good looking fence.

What a wholesome family. Love the channel.
Great job family!! Sean looks like your family might be growing? Always enjoy your videos !!! Keep up the great work!

The "trees" with the thorns is locust wood its very flexible and is used to make recurve bows!
Such lucky and fortunate kids to experience and play with the cattle. Priceless childhood. They make them tough out there!👍🏼🤙🏼💪🏼
This episode brings back LOTS of memories. Some of kids and their show animals and some of mixing and pouring more than my fair share of concrete. Never poured dry mix and add water method, though. Hope it works out!
I enjoy that you have your kids helping you out
Another gem buddy. I can't even imagine how fast you'd fall asleep at night with all the things you get to do in your day. Holy crow man.
Nice family project bringing back memories building fences with my dad and brothers. Minus the tractor we were using a shovel by hand! Always enjoy seeing your videos.
Sean, that was fun to watch. Your family's a big help for sure. Hope you all stay safe, and thanks for sharing. See you next time.
That was cool watching the kiddos with there steers. Your both are great parents!
Built a 6' privacy fence the same way over 20 years ago, just adding concrete and water together in the post holes, it's still standing true!
this was cool see the kids doing this they did very good.
Fence looks good or at least post. Figured u would have kept pallets for some project.
Congratulations on new one on the way! Enjoyed
Great job, Shean. Love when the family is involved! Thank you for sharing 👌 😊❤
Please introduce your family to us. We hear names, but, who is who? Love watching you and your dad working together.
We think it's perfect. Also leave the posts long. Who knows you may want to string lights later for a BBQ or party.
One thing at a time 6 months it will be a new place!! Keep up good work!!
👍🏻😎
What a great video of Sean working with Dusty and the kids doing farm work and making improvements on the cow fence, etc. See ya next time!
Glad you enjoyed it
Always set post with dry cement, ground moisture where I live I NC, sets it over night, never had a problem.
Showed cattle in high school 30years ago .
We had some interesting events halter breaking .

Sean great video. Great to see the whole family being involved.
Nice family Shean. Good job. Enjoyed seeing the kids out side..
Man you got some great help. Great video ❤
Yup have done it a bunch. Did a 16x20 deck that holds a hot tub.
Great to see the whole Family working together
Great job, Sean. Thank you for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
It will be great watching your klds work with these steers over the next few months.
I like the entire family getting involved in the videos. 😎👍🏻

Thanks for watching
Lots better than my ol 6 pack of straightener!
I have fond memories showing heifers and steers in my youth!!😅
Man I loved doing the show steers with my kids I miss those days
Thank you for sharing your days adventures and knowledge. You have a blessed life.
Great stories thank you Sean and family 😅
Getting drug around by a steer will always be a good memory 😊
Thanks Sean
Everybody cusses my brother. 👍 that is the society we live in.
That will work Shawn😊
Super cool family unit. No smartphones made it better.
Great job man
Great job guys love watching your videos I reckon yous pretty good keep safe keep them videos coming
May not be perfectly straight but the cows won't know the difference. Gary at Walker Fam Farm puts his poles in the same way with the cement and water in the hole.
That's really great to see those kids jumping in there and holding those steers.
Great vid and man kids doing great work helping✌🏾😊
As a young man I could never keep new years resolutions. On Jan 1 1974 I made a resolution to never make another resolution. Turned out to be an easy resolution to keep!
Nice job, way to put the kids to work.
Raising them right.
glad you are showing your farming side
I remember my first show cow he was a handful at first then as time went on he got where all I had to do was talk to him and he would do what ever you wanted
Wouldn't worry about it. Have had concrete covered and in a dry place and then find it turned solid. Doesn't take much moisture to make them solid.
Great family job and great study reuse of poles
Thank you!
I USED TO SETUP POLE BARNS, WE JUST TAMPED THE CONCRETE IN THE HOLE, IT FINDS MOISTURE, THEY CLAIMED IT WAS STRONG
Good to see you
Momis a great coach

Use those good pallets for the fence replacement!
OMG lol that's way to much hope you're boy is OK from being pulled around ❤
Right on
Good video.
Glad you enjoyed it
i use that method when setting posts as well. Its always seemed to work
That is the best way to cement in post is just put it in the hall and water it down
That’s gonna make a good fence
Howdy Sean thanks for the video
Works everytime.
Fun family times!
We always set post with the exact same method. They last for decades.
Beautiful family!
Thank you!
Is that earth cement that you're using? If it is, you could mix it with the dirt you dug from the holes and you'd be able to stretch the mix further with fewer bags of cement.
