good day Bell's family cannot respond to the video in any other way, it is possible via telegram, here it is now Sunday morning, have a good day or night, there are always privateers on the coast who take advantage of i
Shane you are one hard working man. I never see you standing still. Thanks for sharing another video with us Molly. The dogs are so beautiful and seem so gentle.
Shane is very hard working. There is always something to be done on a farm! The dogs are very sweet! I can’t say the same for strangers, they are very protective. But love their people so much! 🐕🐕🐕🐕
Looks like you and Shane are able to stay very fit even during the winter, it was nice to see in the previous video that you both got out to camp for a night, I would’ve hoped for snowmobiles but considering the lack of snow I can see why four-wheel-drive trucks were sufficient, you allowed us an interesting view into what happens to the uncared-for unwonted Potatoes and thank you for showing us that tidbit, we really enjoy your channel so thank you for sharing your farm
Thank you Molly 😊 another fantastic video,I loved seeing the cattle checking you out filming them,the smell of silage is lovely,,all the best to you and Shane from the UK 🇬🇧 😊❤
The calves brought out your brilliant smile. Made my day. Your love for animals is endearing😊. I had not seen cows eating potatoes before, what a great way to use the spuds you aren’t going to sell. Your farm is a credit to your family. Waste not want not.
I keep learning new things about your farming and life activities. I never would have imagined cattle eating potatoes. Silage and hay are staples for cattle feed here in Kansas. Thanks for sharing. Jerome Manhattan Ks.
We had 5 at once. It was alot of hair hahah. Akitas are such loyal loving dogs. We decided when our pack of 4 has lived out their lives, we will rescue Akitas from shelters. I can’t say I’m much of a trainer, more of a lover hahah thank you for watching!
I learned something new. Cows love potatoes. Shane good thing you can say no to Molly lol. She would bring home all kinds of baby animals. Thanks for the videos
i love your content . . bty . . if the pups dont hog the bed you need more of them . . as an aside . . thank you for bringing us along . . great edits . . you are a natural . . . your smile makes me smile .
Wow, I had not idea that you could potatoes to cattle! I thought that they would at least need to be cooked (thats what you would need to do for pigs.. they can eat their aw but wont be able to convert much of the potatoe into meat). How much of it can a cow really process? A short google search said that up to 50% of the dry matter ration (Hay?) can be potatoes? In our climate (Nova Scotia) potatoes and grass grow quite well! Thanks for bringing it up BellsFarming! We have a 25 acre homestead here and I would love to have cattle some day.
Thank you Molly! Being an old Idaho boy now living in Utah, I really enjoy seeing how similar, and different, potato farming is in Maine. Your videos bring back so many memories of my childhood helping my grandpa on his farm. Thank you again for all your hard work, and Shane’s!
I love that this is so local to me, I have bought meat from that farm more than a few times, my daughter lovingly refers to the baby cows as "sliders". It is good to know where your food comes from.
I never knew cows like potatoes. As always i learn something. We used to raise cows on our farm for beef, and its nice to cut your steak up with a fork, very tender.That is a consistent job just being able to keep them fed because of lack of pasture space. With raising horses also, we always separated them from the cows because of horses will go to the next level in foraging and cows can't eat down that low, but its all good. I like that your operation is such a "well oiled" machine, always ahead and thinking. Impressive! I did notice that you were cold girl. Made me cold watching. You're tough Molly and love the smile. Always want the best for you and ty for sharing. Take care . ❤
Loved this video also. Farmers are needed ,, . and are the hardest working folks .Your videos are So educational GOD keep our farmers healthy, We need them
Hi Molly just binge watched all your videos and really loved the way you were smiling when you were feeding the cows I know how you felt as when I was in my late teens early twenties I had the joy of working on a breeding pig farm with 30+ sows and gilts and 3 boars when it came to farrowing time it was most enjoyable seeing the sows giving birth
Ha thank you very much for watching all my videos! I’m still learning how to make them. This year I will have a microphone in the tractor! Yes the baby cows were precious! Thank you for sharing your story. I would love to see baby piglets😊 we had one litter of puppies with our Akitas to make our little dog pack family. Watching the birth and watching them grow was the sweetest things I have ever experienced. I do not have children, so they were the closet thing to babies for me. Makes me want to melt just thinking about it😊
Haha I had to get that barrel dolly. They used to roll them from on end of the building to the other. At the time there was another young lady family member working that was 100lbs soaking wet. And rolling barrels just wasn’t an option. Haha I do love the work out though!
Another great video! Denali seems so sweet! After seeing you light up at the sight of the cows, you need a cow or two as long as you have the fencing for it. 🙂 🐄
Denali is the best. I don’t think I will ever have a dog love me as much as she does. Those baby moos were so cute! I love all animals! 😊thank you for noticing the happiness in my face! 😁
Another great video, Molly 😁! And I learned some more about cows 🐮 😃😁. You got some good footage using the drone. Keep up the good work 😃. You and Shane have an awesome weekend... Well, what's left of it 😁!
A cool source of free feed that a farm I worked on found was the spent grain from a distillery. They would fill up those 350 gallon totes with this slurry of spent corn and barley, and every animal loved it. Once we got a load of spent figs they used for a rum they made, and I got nice and hammered from liquid that I separated out. I dont drink anymore, but it's still a fun memory, drinking sketchy fig booze, listening to a hockey game in a trailer in the middle of nowhere. City people miss out on farm kicks!
I use to raise hogs and I always had family and friends give me their scraps and whatever and my hogs were very happy. I watch and enjoy your videos and talking about cows I also enjoy watch Acres of Clay and they have a dairy farm and grow most of the food for their cows as well just in case you may like to watch them.
Thankyou both for bringing me along! Having been raised on a cattle/tobacco farm(s), I just found out that cows eat potatoes. Whoda thunkit?😂 I think Larry should've given you a calf! Dangit.
I’ve been around cattle for years and today I’ve learned 2 things. I didn’t know that cattle would eat potatoes and I didn’t know that they would eat Spanish Moss that grows on Oak trees in the south. Of course I never tried feeding my cattle potatoes and there’s no Spanish Moss in Pennsylvania. Thanks for sharing your video. 👍
I love how at the beginning his barrel has a few spuds in it and he leaves you with a barrel half full to empty. I never knew cows would eat tators. It is nice to have an outlet for your unwanted potatoes.
Great seeing where the potatoes go to other areas to feed animals. I think you and Shane need to get some mini highland cows, they would be great and they stay small haha
I thought that you were going to fall in with the potatoes there for a sec, so glad that you didn’t. Those cows sure looked happy eating those spuds. I think Shane had the same look but with a big bag of cheese puffs, think it was the frozen nuts episode.
I love your attention to details , I can literally smell the earthen smell of the process . I also had cattle and have fed many a pound of culls to the cows . Just a side note , nothing smells much worse than a rotten potato , my girls would complain if we ran into a rot pocket coming out of the storage during sorting . I used to tell them that it was the smell of money ...
Hi Molly I’m from Illinois and we have a lot of cattle farms and there’s always the debate on which is better eating grass feed cows or corn feed cows 🐄… Never have I heard of Potato feed cows 🤔🤔🤔 Very interesting thanks for sharing as always 😊
@@BellsFarming I used to work in a crisp factory here in the UK, so am well aware of the mechanical issues you face, mud wears out steel in no time, the fact that was a constant battle to maintain grader's to size the potato, them "U" clips, you put on, then folded over to a closed"C" shape to blind the lot together, of course the company never purchased the right size.
Hi Molly, Another great video and very interesting. Iwas woundering what you did with your reject potates. I knew they fed them to hogs but they boiled them to soften them some in a big old kettle so the hogs wouldn't choke on them.😂
From Australia. I can undestand Pigs eating potatoes, but I thought Cows would be more picky, you learn something new every day. During the Vietnam years those little potatoes were peekd and canned and called Tiny taters. The Australian Army purchased thousand and thousands of huge tins of the damn things. You became very sick of them in no time at all, but that was the only way we got potatoes in Vietnam. The cooks became quite adept at disguising them, chipped potatoes, potatoe wedges, plain tiny taters and of course mashed.
If you have not already done so, I would be interested in seeing a video of what potatoes you use for seed potatoes. I wonder if the small potatoes could be used as seed potatoes.
Yes small potatoes can be used for seed! There are some rules about seed here. We do buy seed every year now. We used to grow some acres for just seed. But we decided it was just easier to buy seed, and support the seed farmers
We did that one year, Fed the taters to the steers, They got the shits, Had to park shit spreader at the end of the feed lot to catch the shit that was running out. Thanks New Holland for the gate that was if front of the beaters to keep the poo from running out.
Yeah. I’m assuming that cow would have to get used to eating potatoes if they never have before. These cows have been eating potatoes do as long as o have been at the farm. So far so good.
@BellsFarming well, that is disappointing. I know our local food chain Wegmans sells them. Salt potatoes are big in upstate New York. It would be cool if they would partner/ buy from you. BTW, I love the content. It's just fun to watch, and you seem like a great person.
Hey there! Thanks for watching. And your comments too! I use a GoPro hero11 to shoot the footage. And I use videoProc vlogger to edit. It’s a free software!
@BellsFarming My wifey & I live in Wisconsin, a beautiful state. When she goes shopping she drives past various farms. She comes home to tell me about the various type of baby calves, goats, & donkeys. Just like you she is so happy & excited to see them, her face lights up. I like to see her like that. We wish you well & good fortune in your endeavors, also your hubby....
Thanks for sharing Miss Molly. I didn't know that cows enjoyed potatoes so much. We used to feed bread and cookies from a bakery. Looks like your weather turned cold there too?
When might you have Merch available??? Love your channel, can't buy your potatoes in Illinois I'm sure lol. I need a Shirt or hat or patches, stickers, etc. 😄
To be honest, the easier it is for us to get rid of them , the cheaper it is since we’re very busy, Larry does a very good job of making it easy , and treats us right on beef, so we treat him right on feed.
Hey there Molly, So in terms of acreage, how does the Bells Farm rate with other farms within Maine? Large, medium or other? When is the best time to hit the beaches in Maine?

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the cows too!
In my area they get feed the waste carrots and onions from a freezer plant. Hello to Danelle. Always good to see the pups.
Yeah the cows also love fall when pumpkins and squashes get added to the mix! 🐕🐕🐕🐕
The calves brought out your brilliant smile. Made my day. Your love for animals is endearing😊. I had not seen cows eating potatoes before, what a great way to use the spuds you aren’t going to sell. Your farm is a credit to your family. Waste not want not.

Whole new meaning to...
STEAK and POTATOES
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I keep learning new things about your farming and life activities. I never would have imagined cattle eating potatoes. Silage and hay are staples for cattle feed here in Kansas. Thanks for sharing. Jerome Manhattan Ks.
I’ve had 6 Akitas I brought one back from Okinawa in 1970 great dogs I trained K9s in Okinawa MP . Enjoy your videos
We had 5 at once. It was alot of hair hahah. Akitas are such loyal loving dogs. We decided when our pack of 4 has lived out their lives, we will rescue Akitas from shelters. I can’t say I’m much of a trainer, more of a lover hahah thank you for watching!
My buddy had one. They are dominant. Plus, they can back it up. Akitas are kings.
Well one thing there is very little waste. Great video. Good to see you two working together
Yes, we try not to waste anything. It’s a good arrangement
Doesn’t get much better than this moo 🐮 feeding the community 😊love from Canada 🍁

We feed our cattle the very small potatoes too. They used to come running when we dumped into their barnyard.
Yeah! I’m glad to hear that someone else. Has done this too

Cattle when they get a taste of potatoes, they just love them, my brothers cattle and a neighbour get mine in spring when we start to grade our seed.
Oh nice! It’s good to hear other farmers are doing this too!

Great video Molly, We have a beef farm here in South Carolina. Thats a nice barn. Love what you and Shane are doing here. Great video as always.
Thank you very much for watching. Yes Larry’s barn is really nice! Huge! I haven’t visited other cattle farms, but I love seeing the cows!

Thanks for letting us tag along. Liked the two smiling faces at the end too!
That’s my girl! Bessy is Shane’s girl!

Nice trip to see livestock ,cows will eat about anything if you give them enough time Those are nice Baldy cattle Larry has.
Yeah, they seem to like to potatoes alright. They have been raised on them, so they are used to these taters.
Awesome Molly never saw potatoes fed to cattle but another nice job on the video
That's pretty awesome! Thank you for sharing this with us and Molly be careful! That first barrel nearly took you with it! Lol
Hahah it did look that way. You should have seen the one after hahah I empty these often. Loose the battle before I go with it hahaha
@@BellsFarming well I’m glad you don’t get hurt! Think of these lil mishaps as “character building exercises “ lol
@@jongoodson5676haha yes Larry has laughed at me multiple time tipping barrels. I’m much better at it than I used to be.
@@BellsFarming well how else are you going to train your body? Soon you will be tossing those full barrels around no problem lol.

Thats so funny you posted this I asked not too long ago what you did with the rejects :) thank for showing it goes to a good cause :)
Hi Molly, Hey I'm a Ol Ranch kid, Cattle and farming hay. That was a awesome Cattle barn . Everything is better with some cow's around .Ha.😅
Love those cows!
Love the beautiful cows!!
That was a very fun video, I think I could eat with the cows and be happy
Haha me too! All smiles 😊
@@BellsFarming I am so happy I found your channel, I literally had no clue about potato farming and you present it in a really fun way
Hey Hey Hey !!! As Larry myself, I would like to remind you that a small dump truck still gets the job done !!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I like the smaller dump trucks! :)
Hi Molly. Waste not want not is what I was taught , what I always say , and try to practice in my life.
And you are what you eat!! Thank you for watching!
@@BellsFarming So the saying goes. Take care now !
I work at Bushes (the baked bean company) and we feed our waste beans to our cattle herd. We mix them in with hay.
High protein feed!
Fun video!
Oh cool!
Thankyou both for bringing me along! Having been raised on a cattle/tobacco farm(s), I just found out that cows eat potatoes. Whoda thunkit?😂 I think Larry should've given you a calf! Dangit.
Haha we have talked about it several time!
I had no idea that I loved potatoes this much 🇨🇦🙂
Haha potatoes have their bonus
Awesome video. I’ll have to look into getting some potatoes for our cows
Good luck!

Well, that's a first for me never seen cows 🐄 eat potatoes. We never fed potatoes back when I was on the farm 😂.
Omg! My Lab would eat all those potatoes! He would think he had died and gone to dog heaven!
Two of my dogs love potatoes! She will steel them from the bag when she decided it was time for a potato!
I was just thinking of all of the potato vodka you could have made with that cow chow. 😛😘
I bet larry never has to buy potatos at the store
Haha or sweet corn!
We did that one year, Fed the taters to the steers, They got the shits, Had to park shit spreader at the end of the feed lot to catch the shit that was running out. Thanks New Holland for the gate that was if front of the beaters to keep the poo from running out.
Yeah. I’m assuming that cow would have to get used to eating potatoes if they never have before. These cows have been eating potatoes do as long as o have been at the farm. So far so good.
Google salt potatoes! We have them locally, and we love them. Perfect use for small potatoes!
Yeah I have made them! Delicious! No one wants to buy them on a large scale
From us at the moment. We sell the really small ones in our store.
@BellsFarming well, that is disappointing. I know our local food chain Wegmans sells them. Salt potatoes are big in upstate New York. It would be cool if they would partner/ buy from you. BTW, I love the content. It's just fun to watch, and you seem like a great person.

Sorry to disappoint you, but she dosent do yoga pants, she does wear a bathing suit top often when it’s hot , that should make up for that lol
Haha like Shane said, I don’t find yoga pants to be that practical when farming. But when I’m pressure washing swim suits are!
I have been around cattle all my life and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone feed them potatoes. But they seem to like them.
These ones enjoy them. I don’t know how cows would like them if they weren’t raised on them. Thank you for watching!
What signals a potato to sprout? Time? Temperature? Humidity?
Temperature mainly. The older they are,the more they want to sprout as well, so temperature followed by age
I have to look this up! Hahah Shane would probably know
@@shanebell9589 Very helpful. Thanks for your reply.
Cow's eating tators, sounds like a barbecue to me. And of course nothing goes to waste when properly managed.
Yep! Thank you for watching!
I once nearly drowned in silage. Well I sank in it up to my knees anyway.
Haha scary! Even if it was only to the knees. I bet you smelled great!
Those jeans 👖 look good
When might you have Merch available??? Love your channel, can't buy your potatoes in Illinois I'm sure lol. I need a Shirt or hat or patches, stickers, etc. 😄
Very soon! We are working on updated the logo I’m guessing I’ll have stuff available around May
Great post, as always! QUESTION: How do you determine what to charge your customer for a load of feed like that? Just curious. Cheers!
To be honest, the easier it is for us to get rid of them , the cheaper it is since we’re very busy, Larry does a very good job of making it easy , and treats us right on beef, so we treat him right on feed.
I think Shane covered this accurately!
Hey there Molly, So in terms of acreage, how does the Bells Farm rate with other farms within Maine? Large, medium or other?
When is the best time to hit the beaches in Maine?
We are a medium sized farm for Maine. We usually hit the beach a couple times in august! 😎
