I know that your children love you now, but, when they get older, and have kids of their own, that’s when they will really treasure the knowledge and love that you guys have blessed them with.
Mr Brown has really grown up now that the baby has come. He’s not missing his shoes anymore and more willing to leave the house, even helping with cutting plants down and milking!! Amazing to watch him grow up.
Sandra Westley uk, every day was the shoe hunt, some days you’d win, other days he’d go without, amazing how quickly they grow up and remember where they put there things.😹
Justin, you inspire me every day as you fight through your battle with rheumatoid disease. I’ve battled RA for over 30 years. I was medically retired & on a visit to see our daughters out East, we fell in love with Kentucky. Within the year we purchased a 5.3 acre mini farm, living in a 600sqft easy to clean barnapartment. Our youngest daughters family wanted to build on the property & make a working homestead. I haven’t felt this great gardening, taking care of my hens, increasing the laying numbers.
TH-cam needs to let Justin enable his comment section. Rhodes family are good people. They are doing no wrong by putting out videos relating to nature, homesteading and family. These videos are therapeutic. TH-cam, please go easy on the videos of this channel.
I just got Polyface Micro today.. so excited for a good read and implementing what I learn. I only have 1/3 acre but it’s capable of so much more. I’m 63 and proof that it’s never to late to start. I was thrilled to receive a signed copy. 😁
wow so glad comments are back on..We are in Cape Town South Africa and cannot join Abundance Plus.Our money is worthless against the dollar.. I have been watching your channel for years and learnt so much..I really enjoy your family and what you do.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the helpful information. Just ordered a book for myself. I'm a 33 year old combat vet and I am saving up for my little slice of paradise. Your an inspiration. Keep up with the good work!
Yes Goats will work great to clean that up . But pigs will too . But how would not like Justin Rhodes to get a whole herd of goats and breed them . It would be so cool
Your children are amazing. The way they help you guys with all the chores is awesome, they have a better work ethic than a lot of adults. Mr.Brown with the machete was hilarious
Justin, I hope you and your family see this. thank you very much for my 2 Poly micro books. I got one to keep as my own personal copy. the 2nd one for people in my future ranch network to borrow as needed to help them as yall and this community helps our family. Thank you indefinitely and abundantly. the magic shall continue to grow from here. Blessed be from our family to yalls 💜💛💚🌞🌛🌟🌜🌈🍃🐾👣
Love Love Love :) I wanted to post on a previous video on ORGANIZATION of the TOOLS. In my Classroom I have laminated PICTURES of items that belong on each shelf. My Pre-K students are able to clean up and everything is easy to find, where it belongs. Calms my OCD brain. haha
My uncle used a large area that was steepish with a few patches of flat for his milk goats. Was heavily wooded, he would even put his turkeys in when the weather was good for it. His property was similar to yours. He built them a run /house to live in and off of the run would move his fencing to always keep their area fresh.
Hope your feeling better, Justin! I, too have problems after Lyme, trying hard to build a farm and you tube channel with chronic illness is HARD! God bless you and your lovely family!
Good to see you well and moving around so much better, praise God! You have wonderful kids, and you have patience, bravo! Enjoying your videos! Love your kids, and that you listen to their ideas! And what a blessing Arun(I probably butchered his name...sorry) is! Hugs to you all!🤗💜🤗
Considering how you had to divert water during previous winters, have you considered using a rainwater collection system to provide water closer to the house. MIght be usedful if you plan on expanding your acreage
I wont be able to afford your book till christmas (shipping to the UK is currently infeasible me at the moment). But watching your channel and learning from your family makes my day and helps me raise my family too. Also fulfills my homesickness for my home back in Canada. Y'all are inspirational. Next you need a 'homestead journal' from Rebeccas canning journeys, and recipes like her marshmellows! My daughter asks for me to make them every time she sees Rebecca make them on your vlogs! Thank you for all you guys do. xo
I love reading polyface micro it gives me alot to think about our pigs are going to the butcher tomorrow looking forward to having our own pork in the freezer
I had the pleasure of meeting with your mentor, Steve, today. He'll be missed here in Ohio but it looks like he'll now be a little closer to you!! You are truly blessed to have him in your life! At any rate, thanks for always sharing your amazing advice with all of us!
You were trucking thru the woods like a lumberjack darn near, Mr Justin. I'm thrilled to see you cycling out of that painful season and I bet you are even more. And continued blessings of discovering more usable land on your acreage. More pigs for everyone!
Have another dozen babies and I’ll buy something. I was a teacher in franklin county Va and I can promise you that my brightest students were the kids that came from family farms!
Justin Rhodes discovers how to make a homemade terrace just like the Chinese make. Pig runs! Terraced Pig runs using an electric pig fence! Who knew! Starting at the top and working their way down to harvest! I see a book coming. Terrace Pigs For Everyone!
Justin, you're hiking around great!!!! God does answer prayer, and hard times do tend to pass.

75 acres you could do a lot more foraging & herbalism there... not just edibles but also medicinals. There are phone apps to help you identify plants too. Spring & Fall mushroom hunting. Berry picking.
Is your buck old enough? You my need to leave them together for a bit longer. Just sit back and watch. Apple cider vinegar in there water helps with breeding.
Did someone tell you to take the doe out immediately? Because when I had rabbits I just left the doe in with the buck for a couple of weeks. They usually cycle within that time. She'll be aggressive toward him once she is pregnant.
@@theJustinRhodesShow I don't know if it's the magic of editing but what you show is way too quick...at least give them a day...they see your visit as dinner time so that's all they are thinking about...give them a couple of hours with maybe watching from the top of the bales... you'll better gauge the interest then.
You and your family are shining examples of American competitiveness and business savvy. NICE work, as usual. Kudos on the short you just produced with your book forward. This IS the "American way" they talk about in the superman series.
I in west Tennessee, but I sure they are around in western NC. I hired a fellow with a brush grinder on the front of a bobcat. He can clear 2 acres by lunch, clear enough for fences and plenty of work left for the pigs!, and the boys!
Lily is so old now what the heck :'( where did the last 3-4 years go of me watching this channel?! She used to never talk when I first watched! Now she's so independent
You need to get some straw and some nesting boxes in with those rabbits. Especially in the winter. I raised rabbits for show and they need something in there.
Hello there, no idea why nobody has mentioned that your cow is holding up :). Some cows share really well, but most do not and they can control their let down which means calf gets milk but we get little and almost no cream. Your girl is not happy and I can see her udder is still firm - she ain't giving you milk. Her calf is not eating it all, she is not letting down for you. If you need more milk or cream , keep calf away for 6 ish hours and use him to let down and then milk when cow let's down I've been milking cows for 22 years and the controlled key down is always incredible... some cows let down some quarters for me and not others. My husband milked one day and said cow was empty and I brought calf out and whoosh another 3 gallons and cream:)
Ah, brings back memories of stomping through the woods with my cousins and Papa. Crossing creeks on downed trees, dodging poison ivy, finding a slough full of pitcher plants, an old railway berm that got built but never used. Good times!
Oh!! Usually can't comment. Re rabbits. Pick them up by the scruff of the neck, including their ears, but not by the ears. Put your other hand under them for support. Put the doe with the buck because if you put him with her, he'll be too busy looking around to serve her.
If you colony raise your rabbits it would be a lot easier breeding them because they would do it naturally in the colony. It would also be more passive and natural for them
I wonder if the buck just doesn't understand that the does are in his pen? Since they're right next door, and they can always touch and see each other. I wonder if you block their view of each other for a couple days, if that may entice him to try and do his thing when he does see them again? I've never had an issue with a buck never even trying, but my does and bucks are always further apart and can't touch each other through their pens. Might be worth a try.

I was wondering if covering the cage might help. Privacy and less distractions.
@@amandar7719 No, the buck would still try to breed her if she was. I'm just saying it might not be registering that the wire isn't between them anymore, since they're already close all the time
I think heard Joel mention before that a pig's body structure was ment to do small jumps and work those muscles and that will ultimately make a better end product.
So glad to see you hiking around the mountain. Searching for more pig pens is great idea. Wonder if you could start at the top and work your way back down the mountain with pig pens? Just a thought. Love Seeing Henry out and about in the Ergo doing chores with you. The sleep song is so cute. He must be happy or won't go to sleep like that. Hope you figure out the breeding situation with the Rabbits. Might want to call Joel for some advice. Again just a thought. Lilly becoming quite the Cook. God Bless and Peace from WV
How old are the rabbits? We breed rabbits and the only time we seen them not want to breed is when they were too young. 6 months is the age we started at. Hopefully they start up soon.
How old is your buck? He should want to breed the does pretty quick when he is exposed to them. We raise meat rabbits and I usually leave my buck in until he has at least 2 fall offs. It sometimes takes about 20 min or so. The buck will get VERY tired, so I try to only breed them for a half hour and then give them a break. It's important to know the date they were bred so you know exactly when to put in the nest box. Do you have a local 4H group with a rabbit project you can contact for some mentoring for Lilly? Rabbits are a wonderful way to start kids on learning all about genetics and breeding and it's always good to have a mentor to teach you!! Don't give up - baby rabbits (kits) are the cutest and rabbit meat is so delish and so good for you!!
Put some apple cider vinegar in their water for a few days to get them ready/in the mood to breed. That's what I've been told to use on mine, and what other have said works for them. Hope this helps from one breeder to another.
When breeding rabbits, especially virgins, you might need to actually put the buck on the doe like he’ll be mounting her. Also, if they are too comfortable, the breeding instinct won’t kick in. Car rides seem to work well for us. Finally, they might still be immature and not ready. Keep trying and they’ll get it figured out. One last thing, if you want to control breeding (not have random unintended breedings), you’ll want some fine wire in between the buck and the does. Believe it or not, a motivated buck can breed a doe through ½” hardware cloth. His penis will be surprisingly long.
Oh I so wanted to buy the book but in Australia it's $55 usd to ship the 35 usd book. Dang it! Working out the $125 au, half our fortnightly food budget. Lol at least I have a membership now a and am benefiting from that so much!!!
You have plenty of area for hogs/pigs. You can put on slopes as long as you move them quickly, or erosion will happen. Old hay in areas will help grass grow thicker and faster. Good Luck🙂
Those rabbits need also a more natural keeping. Put the cage on some Grass . Make something like a movable chicken coop with some weather protection an an section where the could hide. They must be also very bored in that cage.
Mr. Brown with a machete is my new spirit animal.
I know that your children love you now, but, when they get older, and have kids of their own, that’s when they will really treasure the knowledge and love that you guys have blessed them with.
Thank you that’s very kind
Brillant
I’m so glad to see ya back to work and able to function. Blessings to you and yours.
Yay comments, I've been wanting to say how much I love seeing Henry out and about in the ergo!
Mr Brown has really grown up now that the baby has come. He’s not missing his shoes anymore and more willing to leave the house, even helping with cutting plants down and milking!! Amazing to watch him grow up.

Justin, you inspire me every day as you fight through your battle with rheumatoid disease. I’ve battled RA for over 30 years. I was medically retired & on a visit to see our daughters out East, we fell in love with Kentucky. Within the year we purchased a 5.3 acre mini farm, living in a 600sqft easy to clean barnapartment.
Our youngest daughters family wanted to build on the property & make a working homestead. I haven’t felt this great gardening, taking care of my hens, increasing the laying numbers.
They’re such little adults! They’re so knowledgeable! Sweet babies!

When you’re carrying a machete, EVERYTHING needs trimming.
😂😂😂yeah Mr. Brown was going at it 😂😂
Mr Browns new nickname, "Machete Trims" !
I just got Polyface Micro today.. so excited for a good read and implementing what I learn. I only have 1/3 acre but it’s capable of so much more. I’m 63 and proof that it’s never to late to start. I was thrilled to receive a signed copy. 😁
I watch you all the time and I like your content also I am 74 years old and I am starting a homestead of my one
Hi 😁. Pigs love the forest. Nice video👍. Lars from Denmark.
Hello Rhoads Family!
Just got my signed copy - Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to sign my book!
Joel’s advice is super sound :) Love seeing the kids :) love that you are trying to access as much of your land as possible ! Blessings Justin!

Mr. Brown has grown so much! I love to see a family working together. Great video.
you get a thumbs up for a "male to male coming in the mail" *heart chuckle*. that was a natural dad moment right there hahaha
Oh Rhodes Family so glad you're taking comments they help me also...
Love The Rhodes Family 👪 ❤

Get some goats they will clear it fast or maybe you can borrow them from Art and Bri that might even help them out with the twins.
Pigs are great for clearing already, and they’ll have plenty to eat for a while
Yes Goats will work great to clean that up . But pigs will too . But how would not like Justin Rhodes to get a whole herd of goats and breed them . It would be so cool
Thank you for turning comments back on here! It felt... distressing without them.

I appreciate your family morals! It’s fun watching the kids grow. I live in the city but homestead virtually!
I got my book yesterday. Nice forward

And continued blessings of discovering more usable land on your acreage. More pigs for everyone!
I think your buck rabbit is shy. Why don't you give him a couple of hours before removing the female? He may not want an audience watching him.
Bc then how would you know, unless you set up a spy cam?
Lovely prospects of new pig pastures and how kids love exploring!
Have another dozen babies and I’ll buy something. I was a teacher in franklin county Va and I can promise you that my brightest students were the kids that came from family farms!

He likes to think that he invented farming all by himself.
WIth fruit trees between each row, to provide shade and pig food when they fall from the tree.

Just bought my book I love that you teach your children Young my dad started me milking cows and doing chicken chores when I was about 6 years old

I got my book last week! Started reading it yesterday. So excited to get our homestead going more ☺️
Lol hope you get to my order I can't wait!
So happy to see you moving around so much better.
If you colony raise your rabbits it would be a lot easier breeding them because they would do it naturally in the colony. It would also be more passive and natural for them
You could even go as far as to build rabbit tractors for them so that they can graze the grass and just move it along as you would a chicken tractor
So good to see your progress Justin. It's been quite the trial but you got through the worst.
They walk on net. Maybe they can come down on the ground, and get grounded. For bed, is good hemp straw. You could plant nut trees there.
You have the acreage, clear some land so you can expand and make use of it instead of letting it go wild.
Thanks Justin for sharing, blessings! 👏👏👏👍👍👍💯💯💯

The buck will stomps at the botton of his cage when es smells the doe which is in heat. Then you know he is ready. ( well that is my buck doing )
I was thinking maybe they just need some time alone. Or they don't want an audience. LOL
How old are the rabbits? We breed rabbits and the only time we seen them not want to breed is when they were too young. 6 months is the age we started at. Hopefully they start up soon.
It’s took us trying our rabbits several try’s over about a 2 week period before the buck got the idea of what to do.
How old is your buck? He should want to breed the does pretty quick when he is exposed to them. We raise meat rabbits and I usually leave my buck in until he has at least 2 fall offs. It sometimes takes about 20 min or so. The buck will get VERY tired, so I try to only breed them for a half hour and then give them a break. It's important to know the date they were bred so you know exactly when to put in the nest box. Do you have a local 4H group with a rabbit project you can contact for some mentoring for Lilly? Rabbits are a wonderful way to start kids on learning all about genetics and breeding and it's always good to have a mentor to teach you!! Don't give up - baby rabbits (kits) are the cutest and rabbit meat is so delish and so good for you!!
Put some apple cider vinegar in their water for a few days to get them ready/in the mood to breed. That's what I've been told to use on mine, and what other have said works for them. Hope this helps from one breeder to another.
Lilly is the *Boss* , when it comes to milking 🐄🐮
You could potentially lease your neighbors land or barter a pig for its use, depending on where the line is.
I never take the doe out right away, especially when they are young. I live the doe in with the buck, even a couple of weeks, until I see them mate.
Create a bike park in the steep part!
Your kiddos are amazing! So glad to see them helping and participating in so much.
I really like and appreciate Justin sir!
When breeding rabbits, especially virgins, you might need to actually put the buck on the doe like he’ll be mounting her. Also, if they are too comfortable, the breeding instinct won’t kick in. Car rides seem to work well for us. Finally, they might still be immature and not ready. Keep trying and they’ll get it figured out. One last thing, if you want to control breeding (not have random unintended breedings), you’ll want some fine wire in between the buck and the does. Believe it or not, a motivated buck can breed a doe through ½” hardware cloth. His penis will be surprisingly long.
from what i understand the male rabbit should be out of site till breading that's what we were told and it worked for ours
Good to see you moving so nicely
