Simeon... your attitude is one of the main reasons I support your efforts. Your live-and-let-live approach is what I wish everyone has.
God bless you and yours!
White Master Mariner how did you take what Simeon said and turn it into that soapbox story? He said to not turn a blind eye and to be vigil. (Shaking my head)
White Master Mariner Strong words, Weak message. You need help!
White Master Mariner don't be a rude dumb ass. The US is just as bad and I don't see you hanging the politicians here. (and yes most federal politicians violate their oath everyday and are deserving of such action) So why aren't you out storming the bastille? And hanging the bastards?
Nice of you to represent your white supremacist opinion on us. Welcome to my blocked list.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU HATING ABOUT
RACIST
i am german heritage, grew up on a farm in the us. we welcomed inspectors. like you, we always did our best for the live-stock. when they arrived, they had constructive criticism; which was very seldom, i might add. these people are not the enemy, with no enforcement, imagine the outcomes.
It worked for thousands of years without goverment control. Very few treat their animals badly because it's just stupid in every sense.
All though some controll of antibiotic use and such crap is good.
The scariest ten words in the English language: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."
Its a trap!
Chopwood Farm GET YER GUNS!!!
I had a visit from the Swedish government just a week ago. To inspect our sewage system... Apparently the setup that has been used for almost 50 years now is suddenly not good enough. She gave us 3 months to fix it... and just to get a permit to fix it will costs 4000 SEK. Maybe I would be less bitter about it if the government actually did something worthwhile with all the taxes they collect instead of importing third-worlders.
US President Ronald Reagan said that too many years ago.
Replace "government" with "Monsanto" and it's not much better...
Every developed country has a Department of Agriculture, who sets standards and administers programmes regarding herd health etc. Where you have problems are where civil servants make rules without full or practical knowledge of farming realities.
nigel Mc Hugh This is the truth!
nigel Mc Hugh wrong! Either you own yourself or the government does. Sadly it seems, the world's population believes in the latter.
T Mike He couldn't be any more closer too the truth....are u confused?
I bet you use the electricity supply that the Govt. organised. I bet you drive on roads that the Govt built and maintains with your taxes. Or do you think that you could just take the portion of tax that normally gets taken by the IRS and go out and fill a few pot holes yourself? Unless you want to live like the Unabomber in a shack in the backwoods, every citizen will engage with government. In Agriculture, who do you think sets food hygiene standards and over see's TB testing of bovines? Who accredits the countries food for export purposes?The fact that you live in a functioning democracy doesn't mean that you cannot be true to yourself, and your beliefs. Only Anarchists believe what you seem to be advocating.
That's true. I've got a feeling that this control system is not made for our good but for their good. For those on the top of the pyramid and for their servants in goverment, all to the least office and terrain workers, inspectors, buerocrats, whatever.
good video Simeon. For 5 years, I ran a commercial kitchen, with inspectors "dropping by" without any notice. It never bothered me, because we understood the rules and regulations, and our attitude was those were guidelines to keep our clients safe, and our business protected. We never had a problem with our inspectors - and we never scored less than a 98. For the past 20 years, I have owned a beauty salon - also inspected annually with no notice...and again, I never have a problem with my inspectors. Our attitudes make the biggest difference...we either are compliant, or we are rebellious. Thank you so much for your right-attitude and example.
Easily the best video you have made to-date. Thank you for having the courage to speak your mind. Thought provoking and a great encouragement to others. Our thoughts and prayers go with you.
Very well said, Simeon! I really enjoyed hearing your perspective.
Hit the nail on the head in this video, all your videos are really great. They're filmed really well and your information given is extremely helpful. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful farm with us. It is a real joy.
I have seen mobile shelters for cattle that are built on either a wheel system or skids. You can make it skinny enough to pass through your gates. As far as the concrete pad.. my cousins had a concrete pad with a rough surface poured where they kept the water container. Then the cattle had to walk the concrete to get a drink. It was poured to keep mud down but it would also work for hoof wear.
Audio is fine. Glad to hear everything went well for you with the inspection. I think the key work is "Access" daily. Meaning they can still graze everyday but they need to be able to be sheltered "should they need it".
As opposed to her saying that: "The cows need to be sheltered continuously once the temp reaches 5 C."
Definitely not boring! It's good to see real life in other countries. Keep up the great videos.
Look at making quarters with your winter fields and build the shelter in the middle of it. Then could make several entries into the shelter and still rotate the cows on 4 fields.
That is what I was thinking. If the shelter was in the middle of acreage and the pastures could be like pieces of a pie. Each day you would just need to move one side of the previous day's pie slice.
In Wyoming, we can confirm this without a shadow of a doubt.
Simeon, that was a great talk, and I agree with everything you said. I'm not a homesteader, but I wanted to live in a country where growing your own organic food and having a few chickens, or having some goats or sheep was the norm. And that's rural Italy for sure. In the last decade or so, the increasing US federal government control over homesteading, raw milk production, even having back yard vegetable gardens has become draconian and outrageous. For me it was a sign that I had to find a better place to live. Sometimes I miss the "comfort and convenience" of some things in the US, but not that much! Just on days when I'm really tired, haha. And congratulations on reaching 50,000 subscribers. Well done and well deserved. I'm looking forward to all of your future videos.
You are such a wise man and such a good man. God bless you and your beautiful family.
Spot on, Simeon! Really interesting topics in this video.
I lived in 5 different countries and this has given me different perspectives on countries, governments and especially people with all of their different traditions.
Yes, the government can be a pain in the neck in any country, some maybe a bit more than others, but in your case I think it is pretty good to have at least someone coming to inspect what you are doing. For all they know you could be creating very unhealthy food or mistreating your farm animals, right?
About the cow shelter, could you not make a shelter in the middle of the field and circulate the cow pads around it, a but like a pie chart?
Keep up the good work, you're doing an amazing job! I would love to do what you are doing :)!
I loved the sound of the rain! think in most countries, whilst maybe a challenege, with imagination and determination it should be possible to work within the regulations by finding innovative ways to stay true to your chosen approach. Your version of the mobile shelter is a fine example of that. Well done on your successful inspection.
Here in Scotland where the Highland Cattle are from, they are kept outside all year round, when other breeds are under cover until April. The collective term for Highland Cattle is not herds but folds. Their behaviour so different.
Simeon, you are absolutely right, like weeds that have good soil and water grow fast and healthy, corruption grows where there is money and lack of morels. In the US we have corruption in Washington DC that is directly proportional to the amount of tax dollars that flow through Government hands.The worst conditions for our farmers is the incestuous relationship between companies like Monsanto and our Department of Agriculture. Many of the laws but mainly regulations are implemented by individuals who are in government positions but got there after working for companies such as Monsanto.
Really liked the video. Comment at the end was so true on government rules and regulations. In a perfect system they are there to help the citizens such as building codes and food safety. It is when those rules are compromised by big business that it can be less than successful. You made some great points. Monsanto being one. Love your videos.
Thanks,
John

I watched this again and still loved it. Well said.
Excellent talk today Simeon! Spot on and yes the U.S. has some very backwards (for the profit of the wrong people ), laws about a lot of things especially food. Insane for sure! However, not to speculate on the negative, it seems as you farmers should get together and try to change the laws concerning "cattle" to be a bit more species specific for their health and happiness as well as for the farmer and consumer. I know Highland cattle prefer to be outdoors years round, even in a sideways blowing blizzard or 50 below. All in all it sounds as if you are doing very well even the governments view. What I have seen on your channel is something I believe you can be proud of for doing your best and attempting to do your best for your family and you customers Kudo's to my friend. Peace, Love and Light!!!
So true about the need for a moral base - corruption begins in the human heart :) Just discovered your channel, really enjoying hearing from you, I'm here in the USA. Nice to meet you, brother!
I am off grid and also a farmer ...all natural. Those are Highlander cattle they can use trees as shelter if you have them in winter ....those cattle ARE THE HARDEST OF ALL CATTLE being able to handle temps of over 40 below and they are worried about shelter ??? mmm I believe in shelter but thats crazy. Beautiful place you have :)
Simeon....my daughter has a herd of Highlanders here in Minnesota...they have access to shelter but prefer to be outside in the winter, and it gets down to minus - 35F here during the winter. Seems to me your government person doesn't understand the breed.
Also quite likely the regs don't differentiate by breed (one size fits all) and if it's to protect the 'weakest' variants then it's likely to be overkill for the hardier ones.
+tannenbaum yes. I have never seen a highlander under a shelter but rather with 1 foot of snow on its back. The law just knows cattle in general, no breeds.
The law should have knowledgable people that take into account different breeds. Otherwise we will end up with just one type of cow. How insane would that be!!
she said acess to three side shelter, those high cattle may never use it except during the heat of the summer. Here in Ohio imy horses dislike my barn during tbe snow. I they want to live and play in the snow, but a cold rainy day, they want in. Animals can be weird. Simeon, you did a great job of explaining government control issues.
+1 from northern Wyoming, this is definitely true.
if she has never heard of chicken tractor, she can't be that knowledgeable
MetaView7 What is common one place might not be another place.
I am in the US. When my Grandfather was alive, he had land (only two lots), had gardens, & a hothouse in winter for vegetables, had a grape arbor for jellies, jams, wine...bees for honey, they made their own soap, with land & good soil you can prosper. I think they only had chickens... It wasn't a farm, but he loved the land. He carved wood into water fowl.
Always encouraging!
Love it! great attitude and I agree with your sentiments.
"Government inspection." That ain't right. Nice place you got there btw and I enjoy your videos.
What a great attitude! You would never know that your first language was not English! I forget your first language must be Swedish until you are searching for a word! Great job!
I recently heard the most beautiful thing: KULNING--ancient Swedish cattle herding call, used to call the cattle home from the fields. Usually sung by women. BEAUTIFUL! Also, my favorite hymn is a Swedish hymn, "Children of the Heavenly Father." a tender loving song about God's love. I hope all your readers will listen AND read the words.
Could you perhaps incorporate the electric fencing equipment into the mobile shelter? You mentioned it needing sufficient weight for the wind, so maybe have the solar batteries and panel and wire spools built into them so that you can just run the wire out from the shleter? Could maybe also add a floor of rough surfaced matting floor for hoof wear?
Great outlook, and rational thought. Thanks
I saw a polythene roof over a corral used in this situation on "Alaska The Last Frontier." They also used the hides of animals they slaughtered as tarp on one side of their "Byre". (That's what we call it here in Scotland. I wonder what the Swedish word is, or indeed the German one.)
Adhering to the law is important, but adhering to the duty of care you have towards your cows is paramount. I am sure you will always be guided to the solution that meets both requirements.
The shelter for your cows could be an ongoing development here on your channel, and I hope to hear more about it.
It is true that not all government control is bad, (And yes, you have the ideal breed for your environment.) but Swedish government control is Very different to US/UK/PRC/EU controls. Attitude is important, but you are witness to a creeping tyranny, that with advancing technology, will soon seek to control EVERY aspect of life, and THAT is the real threat to us all.
Tread carefully with those in authority. We are to be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves.
I hope you can develop a positive relationship with the inspector, and that maybe, in time, they can even be persuaded to appear on camera, which they might do, if given assurances that they can have a veto over the final edit.
Patience and wisdom 2U Simeon.
Very diplomatic Simeon. Thank you for your realistic pragmatism
Really like your view and outlook on things. And loved the cat shot at the end. Reminds me of one we used to have. Would not mind more farm cats sneaking into shot here and there. As they are part of any farm. And often overlooked.
Love that sound of the rain
Glad to hear a government employee was relaxed about the chicken tractor
I think there is a new e-book coming ... Swedish Cow Tractor Composter .... Also wrt government control ... people like Joel Salatin talking about the problems with the system have made great strides in getting things changed for the better!
We have been on this farm for over 60 years, I've never seen any government inspections come to our farm, not even one time, and that's the way I like it! SR
I know nothing about your country and its laws but I certainly agree with your sentiment regarding the regulations in your area. They are not so different than ours in the States. Don't let those who have been programmed to believe that the other side of the aisle is rotten to the core and their own party is not. When I discovered that large companies (like Monsanto and many others) fund both parties, I became anti--political. I'm glad that your inspection went well. Keep up the good work.
Again, don't let the brain-washed, programmed, belligerent blowhards discourage you. Keep on your path and know that it is the right one.
Round up (Monsanto) is killing the food chain of every living creature on land and in the water. It kills the bees that lands on the flower. Bees pollinate the flowers to bare fruit and vegetables also makes honey and wax. Without the bees humans/animals will not have any food to eat and you will stave to death or die of sickness (cancer).
Glad to hear that your inspection went well. Time to share a glass of red wine with your family.
Even if I may not always agree with you I will always respect your right to have your beliefs, I mostly agree with your fundamentals. Merry Christmas and God bless you and your beautiful family
Make it work where you live. Greetings from USA. Just discovered your channel and I'm catching up. Lots of great material.
I hope she sees how well Sally is being treated. Rally for Sally!
Well said Simeon. God Bless you on your journey.
Attitude - Nailed that one right on the head.
Fight to remove the unfounded laws and abide by the rest.
I'm glad we don't have a government like yours
i do like your attitude on not trusting the government 100%
and your right on how much government control we have and why we do need some otherwise somebody would abuse the system
as an electrician in Oklahoma (USA) we have code inspectors and I've found if your nice to them and work with them they are generally cool
don't make their day hard and they will be good for you
I think it is a lot about what kind of person is doing the inspection. I remember an issue a few years ago, there was a TV news item on an alone old man living in the woods and he had 1 horse. This horse was really old and they had been together for many years and this old man talked about him and his horse as two best friends. Well... the government did an inspection shortly after, as a result of the TV news item, and the horse was taken away cause of various rules. There are rules such as a horse is not allowed to be alone on a pasture (or something like that), my sister has horses, and due to this rule, one horse damaged another horse so much it had to be put down, they used to have them separate, but the inspector came around and stood there while the other horse got kicked almost to death by the other horses.
God bless you and thank you!!!
I like the idea of someone checking on the welfare of the animals, but if the inspector is walking around inspecting my land, she is going to have to put up with me video recording the inspection.
I loved your thoughts on the governments we live under. Good video.
In my country Slovakia food in shop sucks.
I knew you would do well. You are a very good farmer.
If you get the 16 foot cattle panels you can arch it keep it in place with t-post and put your netting over it
It's the easiest and cheapest way to build any type of shelter
As someone who is cutting out a homestead in Alaska & working to start a farm, I can attest to some of the ridiculous regulations in America's farming industry. Government isn't inherently evil just like money or power isn't inherently evil. The more centralized government, money, and power becomes; the easier it is for all of those to be turned against the common man. My wife and I really have enjoyed following along on your farming journey.
Government in fact is inherently evil. It’s rule by force.
At 9:50 or so, he get's it perfect. This guy is the best.
Great attitude, I wish you all the best!
It's good the government keep a eye on how things are done I hope they also visit some of the factory farms surly with your breed of cattle a four sided cow shed is unneccasary
Cows only need 3 things in the wintertime:
1. A shelter breaks the wind
2. Dry bedding that doesn't give them pneumonia
3. Good food that keeps the internal furnace going
You are right about thinking on your own, & each governments roles. Money gets in the way of true progress sometimes. You are logical, & make sense. I like your homestead.
I like your thoughts and agree with your opinion on government control especially the part about it depends on the "morals".
Sadly morals are rarely if ever part of gov't. Honesty and integrity don't exist. Even small town politics are corrupt. Always 'favors' and 'who knows who' involved.
Another quick question... if I understand correctly you're not currently selling beef so was her inspection including Humane treatment of the animals in addition to a commercial evaluation?
I think all farmers(in Sweden at least) that get EU agricultural financing has to do a small census every year where they have to state how many animals they have and how much pasture/other crops they have. Come to think on it, when applying for EU subsidies you state what you will grow and what animals you will have quite precise. So one of those 2 is probably used to decide who is rearing animals on a professional scale. You can probably count on getting a visit every 1-3 years depending on the size of your operation and ofc if you have things you need to fix it will make them come back sooner.
Simeon... I have a shelter lol if you watch our most recent episode of Reconstructing Spirit Hill we cut a 10x12-ish shelter off the ground, attached wheels, and moved it with the tractor. I'd give it to you... but the postage would be expensive.
Very articulate!
Pragmatic Swedish Homestead. Thank you.
The screen shot alone made me watch...lol too funny
My Gosh! I can't believe some of these comments. I'm with you in that some things aren't so good and some things work well. I can't figure out how it became a racist rant by some folk.
Thank you for sharing your work life with us.
Thank you and well said!!!!
Well said. I may add that in general the government is a reactionary force, something needs to happen and a sufficient public outcry present for the government to prioritize regulation and restrictions of the subject.
Of course there is also a certain amount of lobbying both from corporations and activists, special interest groups and private people.
But the biggest issue with government, is the people they govern over - the lack of interest of the population to be involved in government from a local level all to the top is why people are misinformed, scared and look at the government as the enemy. Lobbyists get their way because people are inactive. This is one major flaw in humans - being shortsighted. It’s more about today’s convenience then tomorrow’s benefit. People think demonstrating/protesting today still counts ten years from now.
That’s why it’s important to be and to stay involved. Become community leaders, supporters, educators and researchers. Be open to change and progress.
You can make a stable on the border of both meadows and alternately open the stable door to one meadow and to the other meadow ... that is how we did this for our horses
You are a smart man. Glad you have channel.
The way I see it that a little political talk fits in very well with your vlog. And with everyone's life since we live under its umbrella, for the most part. No matter what system we live under nowadays, it's become so bad that we-the-people are the enemy of government. We're regressing back to the feudal system.
I'm glad your inspection went well. I'll refrain from commenting on government... but I think you make the points pretty well. :) I could go on all day about the dangers of pesticides... ALL pesticides.
@Swedish Homestead I had an idea for your cow shelter: Why not placing the shelter in the middle of the pasture? If it's in the middle, you can make 7 sections of the pasture around the shelter (like a circle). You can open the gates to a new sention every day and you don't need to move the shelter, because it's placed in the middle and has access to every pasture. Just an idea...
Thank you Simeon!!
Good talk on your part and I agree that the Government must check farms for the welfare of animals. In North America, animal welfare has disappeared in the adoption of mega factory farms that are putting small farmer out of business. The treatment of animals on mega farms is horrendous and the poor quality meat is sold cheap at Costco or Walmart. My family only buy from small local farms.
In Aotearoa we call it "strip grazing". You could call your mobile shelter a "cow tractor" :)
It's always a bit spooky when you hear the officials are coming. Many are really good and reasonable people and then there are the others........... I've dealt with both. It sounds like your experience went well.
Very wise young man.
I totally agree with you Simeon.
Well said. I admit I still use Roundup. Here in Ireland the weather is so mild all year round that controlling weeds is a constant battle. I'd love an alternative, do you have any suggestions. Keep up the good work.
Nice work, good job. love the channel
concrete patch like that will be a waste of time. cows walking on concrete 24 hours a day still have to have their hoofs trimmed at least once a year minimum. trust me. we have over 300 cows and they all get done twice a year
As Simeon says different breeds and strains of animals produce different qualities and drawbacks in them. You should breed out the bad feet thing.
Wild animals never have their hooves trimmed and never walk on concrete, the antelope and deer and bison and sheep and wild horses all manage to live long happy lives without ever going for a pedicure.
They are also not fenced into a grass pasture.
Good Luck to you and your family...God Bless... from Alabama
I'm in Australia and I think that this level of government oversight is just too much. I couldn't handle it.
we have the coverment control too here in Denmark. and they are really aggresive to the farmers with animals here. Ive got a cow who lost a eartack, the fine is 10000 dk kr. its insane.
If your cow shelter is a lightweight structure, you could probably stake it down to keep it from flying away. God bless your efforts!
The name that is "shell salad" is Joel Salatin ... Awesome person. Great information.
Here in the US we keep cattle outside year round and it gets well below freezing here. I have seen cattle with ice hanging off them, cold does not bother them at all. We feed hay when there is no more grass and make sure their water doesn't freeze over. Seems like a lot of government nonsense over there....
Great video today hun,
You touched on so many points of view. I am in the U.S so I can only speak for some of the laws and government here.
I live in a city in
Washington State. So I have those laws for gardening or farm animals and zoning and all that. But we also have county laws, state laws, and then federal laws. And one may super cede another. Sounds crazy to some in other countries right? When it comes to any government you can hope that they have your best interest at heart, but do not put your blind faith in it. Use your head and do your research and always watch when things change in that government. Here in this city they can do that overnight, sometimes without a vote or even letting the public know about it.
I cannot even catch rainwater for my garden. It is considered property of the state and if I put up a rain barrel I can be fined.
Julia
Julia Campbell That is because " your " government wants to force you to buy the water that comes from their pipes !
No, you didn't bore me at all. What you talked about was interesting and informative. I live in the US and know almost nothing about Sweden. Now I know a bit more. I also find what you said reasonable.
If you are happy with your government, that’s your business. I don’t see a problem with them wanting to protect your beautiful cattle from the wind.
Here in the US I’ve seen horrible treatment of cattle!
You’re a great farmer! 👍🏻💕🤗
AMEN ! What insight you have and what a great attitude. You follow your Christian beliefs for sure. You are right about gov control everywhere. Here in the US I ask my liberal friends, name me one part of your life that the government is NOT involved in or does not have a hand in? Keep up the good work !
Your doin an awsum job my friend. And as far as GOVRNMENT INSPECTIONS I BELIEVE THEY CHECK FOR ANY OUTBREAK OF DISEASES. THATS ALL FOR THE WELL BEING OF NATURAL FOODS YOU EAT.. IM GOOD WITH THAT.
My experience with Department of agriculture inspections in Ireland (same basic EU rules as Sweden) is you have to leave something for them to find! and point it out to them in the form of a question if they don't pick it up! ;)
not sleepung, that was another great video.
Well said .
I think a mobile shed for cows be easer than you think.
Beings a former fabricator , I envision this easily & your tractor pull it easily , possibly your ATV , & meet Gov regs
