- I'm taking you to do afternoon chores today, tending to all the animals. I found a possible solution to our pig breeding problems and the cattle are settling in to their new winter quarters. I also spend a little time reviewing how we deal with watering the animals in freezing conditions.

No matter how routine your day is , It’s a little piece of sanity in today’s world . Thank you . Pigs chickens ,cattle and Ezra all happy . Seeing you and Hillary always makes my day better .
Perfectly said… 👍🏻
AMEN!
Yes!
I love all these animals.God bless.
You said it perfectly.
Dear Pete, if the farm works, it’s because of all the efficiencies and planning that you did anticipating the needs of the livestock. A great deal of time and thought has gone into this and none of it is accidental. Your Sunday morning videos are special treat that I look so forward to. Fingers crossed with the vaccine that your pigs will start breeding again.
My daughter was begging this morning to watch Pete. She loves seeing the animals. Have a great day thanks for all the content you do!
I love Billy, he's such a sweet personable boy and enjoys his attention. It was surprising that Patty didn't have any complaints today, unusual. Great videos.
Pete - what a nice way to start our week!! The drone footage is fabulous - it's great to see your whole farm. And the animals of course, happy and healthy. Have a great week and we'll see you soon.
Your farm life vlog is one of the best, both informational and entertaining. The blend of commentary and silence is very effective.
I've no idea why, but the pigs and their demeanors always make me giggle! There's something very smart about Billy's eyes. Here's hoping that giving them the immunization helps!
I'm 70 years old and retired and I do Crewel Embroidery. It is very relaxing and two of my pieces have won Reserve Grand Champion awards at the county fair here where I live. Love your videos and love your animals. Thanks so much.
👍👍👍loved the drone footage! So relaxing watching the fields at rest for the winter, and just watching your interaction with your animals has a calming affect.
It’s refreshing to see that common sense hasn’t deserted all of society. Your methods of delivering water to your animals without high complicated technology, as you say keeping it simple!
Amen. Drown footage much appreciated !
i don't think I've ever been so early before! Your videos are the best, just the calming piece of farm content I need in a crazy suburban life. One day I hope I'll be making decisions on what to do with pigs, cows, and chickens! I'm sure all the farm knowledge I've been collecting from your videos over the years will come in handy!
No matter what others say Pete, and family I still love watching your videos the most, they just give you a very good at ease feeling when watching them, plus their not filled with trying to get you to buy something like the rest of the videos out there, thanks so much for that and allowing into your family life a few minutes every video, have good day and god bless yous
Whee! That was fun, flying around on the drone. Beautiful aerial footage of your farm. Thanks for taking us along to see all the animals. I hope the shots work for the breeding pigs. That would be great.
The chicken next to you when Hillary was talking about the water is beautiful. It is wonderful to see you working the farm together ❤️
That Billy pig looks like a giant Armadillo.
Thank you for sharing your daily routine. No, it's not boring. You and your family and livestock are a much needed break from the madness of the world. Much blessings to you❤
watching your day on the farm interacting with all of the animals with such care always puts a smile in my heart....
Pete, the upgrades to the cattle barn and feeding system are going to be spot on this winter when the weather is ugly. Well planned and thought out, but then you are an architect! Love your mantra of simplicity.
Great to see all the livestock again. I hope everything works out for the pigs.
I love watching your animals. That boar is a sweetheart. Ezra is a character bouncing around after that mouse. The chickens are so quirky and funny. Thanks for sharing your menagerie!
I say this often, but, this is my absolute favorite TH-cam channel. You and Hillary do a wonderful job, I can't wait for each new video! Its very peaceful watching.
As always, a beautiful video. Thank you Pete and Hillary. We'd love to see your cross stitch and your clock too! Great drone work! Fingers crossed for piglets!
Thank you for taking us around the farm to see the animals. I am elderly and disabled and can't get out much. I love your contents. I live in England but would buy your produce if I was local.
Thanks for the nice fly over, Pete. Everything looks so peaceful and quiet.
I miss the litters of pigs.
I doubt you do , but it reminds me of my childhood .
My father & uncle had adjoining farms & my uncle primarily raised pigs .
I miss the piglets too. I wish there was money to be made in small scale pork production, but I'm just not seeing it. Regardless, we're trying our best to have more litters of piglets because folks enjoy them so much.
I love the peacefulness of farming in the wintertime. The hush over the land and the quiet that comes with the snow. Great video. Thank you.
Stealing a hen's pride and joy egg. Oh the outrage! LOL
What a pleasant way to spend a few minutes, watching someone do what they enjoy and getting a chuckle or two in to boot. Guess I'll just keep coming back and watching to see what happens with Billy and Brownie, the romance of the year or divorce.
I was suspicious of Billy. I'm glad to hear he isn't a dud. My Grandfather would knit in the winter. Must be a Scandinavian thing. Thank you Pete.
Goodmorning Pete - Well another wonderful video - We loved the aerial view of your farm - Very impressed - You also impress us everytime we watch - Good luck with the pigs - You must have done your homework on that and you cross stitch - What can i say you are a man of many,many,many talents - When i grow up i want to be like you - All the best to you and your family - Take care.
We love your videos! The variety and information about your animals, projects, and plans as well as the care you show.
Thank you,
Rod and Debbie
I Love seeing the animals and how they are doing! Thank You Pete and Hilary for your videos !!! GOD BLESS !!!
Hoping for positive results with the hogs! 🤞
The new cattle barn is working out really nice for you and the cattle. Nice and convenient for you for winter. Smart investment Pete!
Really like the drone footage. It gives a good layout of your farm and helps us know how the farm works. Its so nice to see how neat and clean you and Hillaire keep everything. The new barn seems very efficient for the cattle and easy to manage. You both deserve some down time in the winter. Enjoy your projects. Would love to see some of your cross-stitching. Hope Hillaire gets to read a lot of neat books!
Your footage of “ Cow Shadows” was a great topic of intense discussion with my two G-daughters this morning.
The youngest was a bit upset……
She wanted to know why they weren’t mooing ….
😆
Yet another intense conversation !!!
Thank you Pete !!!
What a great morning !!!!
Everyone develops a system that works for them. Yours is simplicity in action with contented animals. As I've aged my attitude leans toward "fancy doesn't pay the bills". We strive to have functional machinery and facilities without extravagance. Daily chores can be relaxing if things are set up so as not to be a struggle.
Fellow cross stitcher here. I would love to see your projects and your progress on them in a video!
ME Too!
Always love the drone footage! And all of the different camera angles. I know it adds a lot of extra steps and time to your day, and we appreciate it! Thank you!
I know I've said this before, I LOVE THAT THE PIGS, SOME OF THE CATTLE ENJOY BEING LOVED ON. ❤❤❤
Glad your not giving up on the pigs Pete, can't wait to see some piglets from Billy.
Love watching your videos, takes me back to growing up in Duchess Co and our small farm. Of course later I had horses and "road to hounds". I babysat all the officers, so I was able to hunt without a membership and could bring my girlfriends and Pony Club members. We had so much fun, walked the Hounds in the summer to teach them the way of a hunt, never caught a fox, they were too fast for us, but rode like the wind.
We had chickens too, 1000 white leghorns, my father would take the eggs to NYC were he worked and came home on the weekends. Later he took a job closer to home and we slowly stopped the chickens. I collected the eggs and hate it, they would peck at my 7 yrs old legs. We had 2 milk cows, some calves, pigs and large gardens. My friends always want to visit and see the animals and i made them work.
Thanks for giving me such pleasure watching you and Hilary doing your work.
Calves = instant Thumbs up button! Another great video
That's an interesting tidbit you shared concerning the pigs, and treating them. Yer a good pig dad there, Pete, looking after the health of your livestock. Always nice seeing the doings of the Chicken Master too. God bless you both.
So glad you’ve been able to make taking care of the cattle easier. Work smarter not harder😊
The new barn arrangement is truly nice as well as functional.
Thank you for the winter tour. Everyone looks like they're relaxed and have slowed fown for a bit.
You mentioned old clocks. I don't repair them but did collect thm yers ago. I have one or two in each room. I love the simplicity of them and they're beautiful. No bright lights just a tick tok here and there.❤
It's hard to beat Tractor Supplys dried pine shavings. Mighty convenient, they are dry and the price per bundle makes sense. Always seemed to me it was just common sense to start with dry bedding. Good illustration of cheapest versus best value decision. 😏
Best of luck with your inoculations. I'm pulling for a couple productive breeding sessions 👍
Sweet outro! I really like the drone footage. Great overview of the farm, great overview of the pastures and the woodlot. Looks like you have enough thinning/selective cutting to do in the woodlot to keep you in firewood for many years to come.
All the best Pete and Hilary 😊
Good news for the porkers. I was suspecting there might be a virus involved in why there has been so much shenanigans with your pigs. I really hope the situation in that front improves.
Nice to see all the animals are enjoying the new barn .
Personally hoping it works out with the pigs. I know they, financially, are probably not worth the time and effort, but I find them the most interesting members of your cast of characters:)
Don't forget to spend some time with your Banjo and Guitar this winter!! That can be rewarding also.😊
Shall say it again, that cattle shed is just fantastic. Good news about the pigs too. Thank you for the great videos this year Pete. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
My Dad always said follow people that are content thats why we follow you guys
I'm Team Pete when it comes to slow, tedious projects, especially during the winter months.
Hey Pete, we're missing you since this episode aired. Hope you and Hillary are well and enjoying family time. 🕊 Thanks for the time you've shared with us❤
Thanks for a starting of my day,At 88 it’s good to see good human love and sweet animals
Thanks Pete for the Sunday morning farm video 😊
Good morning.
Sometimes you need a rest from the business of life. Thanks for the video.
Pete I’d really like to see a clock repair video. Back in the 60’s I had a great uncle who repaired clocks as a hobby. Every once in a while he would have one completely torn apart on my great grandparents dining room table. He was a machine repairman in one of the automotive factories. Had huge hands and fingers the size of sausages! It was amazing to see him do delicate work like that.
Hi! Pete On that virus it may have been transferred when you brought other pigs on to your farm. Hopefully the treatment you gave your pigs will fix your problem.
I loved your drone shots today. It really helped me see the layout of the farm and your setup for everything. Great show today.
The farm gets a little more peaceful for just a bit between summer and full on winter. I always loved that time.
Hope everything works out well with the pigs, miss seeing the piglets running around, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY and have a wonderful day
The pig situation is encouraging. I have been thinking about them. You had never had trouble before, then you got Billy and the huge boar. New pigs with new 'stuff'. I love your pigs and how they love you!
My dad would cross stitch also. I love the beauty of it.
I love the drone view of the property. It puts everything into perspective. I originally thought the square defined by the trees was your property, but now I believe the pond is on your neighbor's property. Thanks again for the ariel view.
Nice to see you Pete, and all of the animals so calm and happy. Its great for everyone. Thanks😂
Please don't forget to hit the like button! Thanks Pete and Hillary for all the work you do to bring us these videos. And I'm happy that you may have some little piggies next year. I just love to see them run around and squeal. From a dreary western Massachusetts. :-)
Thanks so much Pete and Hillary for sharing information so freely. You have already saved me countless hours of work in setting up our farm by using some of your examples. Really appreciate this channel.
Heh, having fun with the drone. Loved the shots of Ezra pouncing.
When I was 50 I began to have vertigo and with in a few years I had vertigo 24/7. I was talked to by my wife and doctor to not use table saws and other power tools. They were just worried I would get hurt. I sold my tools and bought a sewing machine. Now I design and machine embroidery and sew clothing. I would love to see some of your cross stitch work.
I love how compasionate you're with the livestock. Thank you for sharing info about your Pigs and their vaccinations, very interesting !! I have hope for your pigs and I'm looking forward to home grown piglets next year- Good to see Hilary and how she handles the Chickens. Take care and stay warm !
Hey Pete and Hilary. Hope you're doing well these days. I just love the system you have with all your animals and they seem really happy and comfortable with you.
Pete, I like your slow life approach to life. More need to follow your example. Needle work is so relaxing. Would love to see your works in progress and finished items.
Pete and Hillary thanks for taking the time out of your life to create these videos! I'm not absolutely sure about the intrigue or fascination that we as followers of these type channels but I must say that I am happy that you decided that you wanted to give video making for TH-cam a Go 😊
My wife has done cross stich for over 30 years. It is relaxing. I prefer sitting in a tree waiting for deer. good stuff Pete.
Keep doing what you’re doing. I’m one of the quiet ones that enjoy what I see in your videos.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy all the little details of your work. When I see the happy cattle in their new digs, I feel like I was right there while you put up those feeding grids. God bless your pigs and chickens, and your family!
Would love to see you recondition the old clock mentioned..I have several currently and always enjoy new ways of maintaining and recondiyioning..many thanks for this mornings video
i love watching the pigs!! Billy really loves you!
well, bowl me over, when two worlds collide. I was so tickled to see you whip out those Qsnaps! I too am a stitcher. it's crazy meditative. Put on an ambiance video, or a floss tube video, maybe a little Just a Few Acres Farm video and stitch away... Be sure to show us some of your work sometime. Thanks for the content...looking forward to it snowing there, lol
billy boy holds a passing resemblance to an armadillo
Yes!
Thank you Pete and Hillary! We are first year chicken raisers and we have been mulling over how to deal with the waters in an efficient and effective manner. Our small 6 hen flock does not compare to most but it was good to hear what you've tried over the years
Good morning Pete&family, very enjoyable video, really like the new addition for the cows, that is great. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.😊
The simplicity of your water set up seems so logical. It’s a shame people make it so complicated. I’d love to see your cross stitch.
Thanks, enjoyed the walk around. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a great scene from the drone at 0:23, Pete, when the cow is entering the scene from the left.
The shadow looks more like a cow than the cow itself does, from the birds' eye view!
True art in film-making.
Wow! Billy has grown so handsome. He is still friendly and demands attention. LoL. All your pigs are friendly. But I've watched Billy grow. So nice. As always, I enjoyed the video. Thank you!🙂🦋
Great to see you and Hillary are enjoying your farming. Thanks for bringing us along. Continued successes!!!👍👍👍
I really liked the drone footage on opening. You really hit a home run with the cow shadows, IMO!
Good morning Pete and Hilarie. I love your chore videos almost as much as the mechanical ones. Thanks
I am so glad you are not giving up on and getting rid of the piggers....I have my chores down to a half hour for the winter and I love your hobbies and projects.
I love it when you work with the animals, I love the ebb and flow of the seasons and even the changes day to day, so very peaceful!
Glad to hear about the pigs. I hope it works out and they're able to stay.
I enjoy how you and wife do chores as a team doing farm work. Hope your hog has those piglets this go around.
Absolutely 💯 Pete and Hillary. Blessings to all of the Pigs Breeding. Healthy mommas and healthy deliverys and babies in JesusChrist Mighty Name.Amen. ✝️💖
Hey Pete. Love the videos and seeing the animals. Just a small suggestion. Could you move the outside tank for the cull cows inside as well and then you would only need a small hose to fill that also and it might take longer to freeze up in the winter. Just a suggestion.
KISS - Geez, I hadn't that used for years! Guess that's because since I was 16 I've lived in the Deep South, folks hereabouts just don't get it. Did you get any of that snowstorm last week? My cousins did, 2 of whom are farmers, sent me messages to say "It's COLD!" I just sent them a gif of the sun. Stay warm, give Billy a good rub from me ( Virginia), and tell him I said you go big boy! LOL
Billy has pretty eyes. He's such a friendly guy, too!
Pete , I enjoy every one of your videos. When you showed that shot of that old chicken feeder. It really brought back memories of
My childhood. And the cold morning of getting up and feeding the chickens along with other chores before going off to school. Thank you so much for your great down to earth videos. Please keep them coming . And God bless..
the silhouettes of the cattle at the start were class and Billy has just turned into a muscle...
