    I find your wood cutting content very peaceful and relaxing. You seem to do more in a day than most people accomplish in a lifetime. 😊 I really enjoy your videos minus the trolls of course. Keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll keep watching. 😅😊❤

    So.... if we complain we get more woodcutting videos? Awesome, i'll get right on that.
    Nah, i cant do it, you work so hard, all you do on the Farmstead, AND the videos you gift us with. I just want to thank you. I enjoy your content a lot, no matter what you do.
    And a happy new year to you and Melissa.

    Thanks for all the hard work you do to get a video out with all the cold and you being busy feeding and milking. That is some brutal cold you all have up there. People down here in Texas are crying about some of that front coming down, then I think it's nothing compared to what you have up there. Prayers to Melissa's mother too Joe.

    Wowsa, the little bull isn’t so little anymore! He is really getting big! He’s about to start pulling you around Joe! Actually looks like he can! I’m 62 yrs old and sometimes my buddy and me will help an older friend of his brand and take care of her calf’s. Some of the calves are bulls and need fixed! We. Should actually video that every time we do it. I imagine it would get a few laughs with 4 over 60 men and women branding giving shots to and fixing young calves! She also doesn’t have the best of fences and we have to move them from her property to other summer grazing lands and sometimes those bigger, older heifers will just push themselves past us older people right through an unsecured fence! Good times! Keep up with your awesome content!

    hey Joe my suggestion for the 1/3 cup of extra milk would be to put it in a bowl and put it in the trailer house for your out door kitties instead of wasting it down the drain, i am sure they would really appreciate the treat for payment on them doing there job of catching and ridding the Farm of mice, its not much or maybe an often treat but i know the kitties would sure appreciate it , just an idea for you guys to limit waste, i think i saw Mesa and Festus dancing in the pasture with lamp shades on there heads lol Happy New Year to all of you.

      I have been where you are. Usually in this situation, in the back of your mind, you know exactly what needs to be done (like I did in this video) but instead you do the easier route hoping it works. Lol. It usually never does. When i worked out in ND in travel trailers I learned all there was to learn about thawing water lines. Lots of heat (250,000 btu salamander heater with lots of fuel) and enclose the area.

I wrapped the sink pipes and added extra insulation last year. But the toilet pipe you cannot get to. I need some major plumbing with 2 new toilets done come spring.

    AW22 or 32 hydraulic oil is recommended, but automatic transmission fluid can be used in temperatures below 32°F. In colder conditions, use a lower viscosity oil like ISO-32 or AW-32, and in hotter temperatures, use a higher weight oil like ISO-46 or AW-46.

And the animals. Its vital to their health and well-being. If you dont understand that just move on. You wont be missed or followed by anyone who has a brain. Joe I've loved your channel and all content for years. Keep it up. You know if you don't do it many worse things can happen. Thanks for sharing the great content you have.
