I will come to blows with someone who tries to stop me from upvoting this channel's videos. This guy is sharp about making all resources yield the most return. Nothing gets wasted, not even a nickel. What a wonderful process, those pigs becoming pork for the dinner table. Lazy people could never survive like this family who works daily.
At first I thought dang, only a five minute vide but you didn’t disappoint, it was full of useful information as always Micah. Take care and have a blessed rest of the week my friend.
I’m not one to make a video longer than necessary…… the last week or two they were longer than usual but they were definitely part of the epic smokehouse drama😂😂😂
Why now Mr. McGie, rather looks like you have stumbled yourself upon some kind of a renewable feed resource! What a wonderful family outing your could put together stomping grass into barrels like that. You could try out to become the King of the Grass Stomper's Society, Tennessee Local Chapter! On the other hand, how much of your local grass does your family collect up to add to the garden plots that you have? All those rich nutrients and enhanced garden goodies are sure to make for having a Great Day! -Bob...
I injoy so much watching your channel. You give us so much information. Please becareful feeding your hogs fish. I set nets out year ago. I was catching so many Buffalo I started feeding to my hog. I feed theme fish off and on all sommer.not everyday but I set net maybe 2 time a month. That fall we butcher my hog that went about 250. There wasn't a peace of that pork that didn't taste like fish. Even the sauge. I thought the sauge would be eatable since all the spices that goes into it.but it was fishing to.god bless your friends from Arkansas.
It definitely works! We feed our goats for free through winter on it. A little diluted molasses and some homemade lactic acid bacteria is what we mix in.
That's awesome it worked out so well ! When we were mowing and bagging my back field I was thinking this would be some great feed for animals . We only mowed about a quarter of the field and got two huge wagon loads for mulch in the garden . The bagger for my riding mower was a game changer for getting a bunch of grass clippings . Thanks for sharing and have a great day !
Been binge watching your content. I truely enjoy it and hope one day soon to be able to have a small scale homestead asap or whatever I can manage. Here in central Ohio land is expensive tho
@McGie Homestead Adventures I really enjoy the content especially the educational aspect but in general the wholesome content is so appreciated in this deteriorating world.
Pickled grass ! .. wOw , I bet it would be Good for your microbiome . . ! .. Have you tried it , Micah ? .... and remember , if you do try it , you always have your Activated Charcoal powder to fall back on ~ ;-)
Very true, But in just a few short years you’ll have all the help you need! If you let them help when they are too little to help they’ll help you the rest of their lives!
It's worth a try it's worked out for him from what I've seen with very little waste on top. Or should I say mildew animals may not eat it but you'll be putting minerals in the ground.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures wouldn't a soil tamper work to pack it down or does it take wieght? I do know tighter its packs the better it keeps. Did you find much settling after it sat a while?
No settling here Bill…… but it was an insane amount of packing……. A tamper would probably not have the same ability because the grass tries to puff back up as soon as the weight is lifted.
I watched this video on silage processing that kept it safe for up to 6 months: Silage Making Process | How to make Silage for Cows / Goats | Cattle Feed Making Method (Discover Agriculture Channel) may be helpful ideas on what the cut silage was stored in 100 kg Agriculture bags,
Micha last comment maybe. 🙄. Does your wife or daughter do embroidery or crocheting etc? If so I've got some old hoops and different things that I got while I was moving s friends Mom from WV and she was going to leave it. Hell no that's going with me. I was going to give it to my daughter in law but she doesn't do anything like that. She thinks she's a master chefette. She can cook but not to my liking. I've spoiled myself on Mom and sisters cooking with my spin added.
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures Frank's probably like me me damn lucky to tie his shoes and remember to zip his pants. But why close the barn door when the ol mule can't get up and look out the door 🙄🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures No excuse this morning I've been up since 1:45 est nature called and said you best be going NOW!!🤪🤣🤣 Then bright eyed but not bushy tailed.🤣🤣🤣 Tell the oi buzzard I'm brewing s pot of Maxwell House and I'll have the first cup for him. Black and STRONG!😲

That is greatly appreciated!
Probably one of the best and practical y.t channels, thank you for doing what you guy's and gal's Do!!
You’re absolutely welcome!!!
Looks like it worked really well my Friend. Beautiful looking silage. Thanks for sharing and have a good day.
They eat it and that’s a good thing!

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I’m not complaining by no means.

We really don’t…. Although we definitely should!
Today the boys are going to spread the spoiled corn silage in preparation for turning it under!
Great idea. I'm glad it is working. As they say... a penny saved is a penny earned. Plus the added minerals will benefit later in the compost pile. 👍👍
Very true! I’m looking forward to seeing what happens!!

Oh my! I’ve never heard that before!!! Makes perfect sense though!!!
I remember that video they did like a dance😅it did turn out Good video thanks for sharing keep the cameras rolling from Florida
Thanks Ken. There’s been a lot of video footage since then!😂
Taught me something. cheers! Keep the tips coming.
Thanks, will do!
Love your video
Thanks Doc!

It’s a wonderful feed!!!

The boys want me to get one of those!😂
Do plan on rotating your hogs to other paddocks to reduce feeding and to let the soil recover?
I do that when possible!

Oh my goodness land is outrageous everywhere! I’m glad I bought mine years ago! Just finished the payments last month!
@McGie Homestead Adventures I really enjoy the content especially the educational aspect but in general the wholesome content is so appreciated in this deteriorating world.
Really enjoy these kinds of videos that sure seems like a good way to feed for free 👍
It definitely is!
Sounds like a good idea
It works great!

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures 🥒🥒🥒
great video
Thanks!
All I need are a couple good agile packers!
That really helps!😂
Great ideas, as always
Thank you! 😊
Hard to beat free (or almost).
Good morning brother! Good to see you!
I’ve got to try this! Unfortunately I have to do it by myself lol!
Very true, But in just a few short years you’ll have all the help you need! If you let them help when they are too little to help they’ll help you the rest of their lives!
Probably make good rabbit feed too
I’d think so!
How bad does it freeze in the barrel in the winter? Great idea for a small farmer to store silage
It was -3° here and I see no signs that it froze at all. Surely it did a little bit!
Catfish still aren't biting here (west in SE MO). Water temp is 57-60* yet. When you're fishing in May, what's the water temp?
I honestly don’t know. But probably 70 +-
Put enough syrup on it, it's even good for people... 😂 I like the barrel method, it's mobile to where a big pile aint
That’s true!!! NoDak grass can go to Ky!!!😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures no grass here to worry about it 😅
😂😂😂 sounds like you need bluegrass for sure!!!
Finally!!!
I'll try it 💯
I wanna see the video of you holding your gall as you tromp it in!🤪

@@McGieHomesteadAdventures I meant eating it 😳
Where do you get those barrels?
I got them from the Mennonite community in Spencer Tn. Pine ridge mkt.

Good morning sunshine!!!😁
Micha last comment maybe.
🙄. Does your wife or daughter do embroidery or crocheting etc? If so I've got some old hoops and different things that I got while I was moving s friends Mom from WV and she was going to leave it. Hell no that's going with me. I was going to give it to my daughter in law but she doesn't do anything like that.
She thinks she's a master chefette. She can cook but not to my liking. I've spoiled myself on Mom and sisters cooking with my spin added.
I’m afraid no one here does crochet or embroidery…… except maybe Frank 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
Frank's probably like me me damn lucky to tie his shoes and remember to zip his pants. But why close the barn door when the ol mule can't get up and look out the door 🙄🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s the best part of living alone! No one cares about the barn door!😂
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
That's right. Do you check him before you take him out in public or make him stay in the truck?🙄
I lock the door before he can get in!😂😂😂
Here I be.🙄
You’re ON IT!!!🔥🔥🔥
@@McGieHomesteadAdventures
No excuse this morning I've been up since 1:45 est nature called and said you best be going NOW!!🤪🤣🤣
