Tell Hillary her T-shirt brought back many memories for me. When first married (1970) we spent most Saturday nights down at the Old Cafe Wha which had become The Feenjon Club playing Middle Eastern music. Turkish coffee and cigarette smoke! Those were the days!
I think it's underrated how wholesome this is to watch and how happy them cows are. The way they come jogging along as soon as you call them proves they're a happy bunch that trust you.
we had an auctioneer on our ship (i'm retired Navy) we used to have him do all the safety briefings during safety stand downs, he could complete an 8 hour safety brief in about an hour and a half...
The exuberance evinced upon release into new pasture expressed in the "body language" of the cattle is a real "bonus" (and/or "'blessing" ) to living/farming in nature's way. Our best to you!
I love your cows! I have absolutely no experience with farming yet I find your channel entertaining and educational. I thank you for showing the real life of a farmer!
Love your working Farmalls. I learned to drive on a '41 Farmall A. First time grandpa let me solo, he said "Don't go behind the house", and of course, first thing I did was around the back! Found out the muffler was a foot taller than grandma's clean laundry line. Learned 2 things. 1) Grandpa was to be obeyed, and 2) Grandpa had a razor strop and knew how to use it!. Still have that tractor in the family (sadly, I am no longer able to climb onto it so had to give to a cousin). Remember, cows may come, and cows may go, but the bull around here goes on forever! God bless always, and keep up the dad jokes!
That pasture is gorgeous. Keep up the good work. I’m impressed that those T-posts work for you so well. All the small farmers around us have said not to use them because their cows push up against the wire and break through the fence. Most people around here use the wood posts and woven wire like you did on your heifer yard.
I stumbled across your site a couple weeks ago. I sure look forward to your new ones. Your family and yourself are a real class act. Wish you were my neighbors.
I'm not into farming as a lifestyle, but I'll tell you what - you are smart and make me interested in most everything you do. Thanks for posting these videos
Hi Pete. Wow lots of memories. Dad built electric fence same way you described only used split cedar posts. He made his own mallet out of a piece of cut log and a branch for a handle. We also had an old row crop Case and a 860 Ford. Both had a stick to measure the gas tank. Enjoy the videos. Thanks.
Pete, we are enjoying your jokes, don’t be discouraged by teenager’s rolling their eyes.. If it was me, I was gathering all my fathers jokes in to a best sellers book!!
Hi Pete I went back to the old ways when I priced wood fence post.This winter I saved black locust branches in the hedge rows.My Grandfather planted honey locust and osage orange in hedge rows to keep cattle in.
Wish we could get a few warm days to get the grass to shoot up here north of the border. After a couple weeks of persistent rain, we could easily fall behind the grass with some heat, but instead we're only grazing a few hours a day to not put too much pressure on the grass. Glad to see someone is having better luck!
Excellent video Pete :) & Hilary :) plus cows and doing fences also yes grass up high hear too plus excellent kids out school to do summer season months work too!
They came back out of the good field because they wanted to say thank you for the tall grass. That’s what they were all talking about. They wanted to make sure you ( Hurd ) them. Lol. Great video. Thanks
Tip on measuring the distance between your posts, I'm 5'11" and my pace (right step and left step) is roughly 5'. Measure your pace and then you just walk normally and count up to what you need. I typically do 6 paces and put in my posts. Learned this trick in surveying back in college. It gets you pretty close, close enough for fence posts anyway. Still love the channel, keep it coming!
Up in your neck of the woods does anyone plant cover crops into their pasture to extend the grazing season. In Missouri we do it a lot with rye, radishes, mustard greens, certain types of clover, and other crops. It allows an extra 1-2 months on pasture without using hay. Cover crops also aid in nitrogen production and pulling nutrients from deep in the soil profile.
Hi Pete, Hillary me too those antique gas gauges work endlessly tirelessly never fail only time they do is on the Human Side hmm I forgot to check. What's a cow that steps in poo. An in cow poop. And the bull with seagulls hes so gull a bull. Your about 3 weeks ahead of us here the buds are still on the trees some flowers no lilacs nice to see there. Have a great day.
Pete you have a much prettier helper than your grandad! That's why you like putting up fence now! Like that new fangled gas gauge! Any morels in your woods? Enjoy your videos!
The cows were hilarious in their exuberance and indecision!🤣😂🐄. I have found your videos to be so informative and enjoyable although some of the jokes are really bad it is part of the charm. 😝🤗❤️
Hey, that gas gauge works just the same in our neighbors 1960 International pick-up!! As for me, we still do fences with maple posts and the 20 pound maul. Just like how you did as a kid. Camp No-fun.
Those are great insulators, however for terminating a fence run using metal T-posts, I like to slip a piece of 3" PVC pipe over the T-post and tie the wire of polyrope directly to the post. This prevents shorts and makes it quick and easy.
took me so many years to figure out, this is where I belong...not the city rat race... hard work, elbow grease, challenges ... I think thats how we were meant to live ... it has such a strong tug on my heart
Good looking grass. When I helped build fence we used pieces of power poles my Dad got from the power company where he worked. Whenever they had a broken off pole they would drop it off at our farm. Then we cut them to length and split some of them. We used a hand operated post hole digger but our land was all sand so it dug easy. I was wondering if you have any Morell mushrooms in those woods?
I once heard that you can put a cut on your fingernail, at the cuticle, and once it grows to the point of detachment from the nail bed, the piglets are born. Roundabout 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. I'd believe it, but I also know how much more quickly my nails grow, when I'm taking vitamins vs not. I suppose the old timey pig farmers didn't supplement with vitamins, and probably had a similar diet. The more you know... "Reading Rainbow!" Lol.
We got 4.5 inches last weekend here in the Quah, then 2.5 more on Tuesday. In a month we’ll probably be begging for a drop! Happy cows! Oh Pete n Hilarie! What a joke! Ya’ll do have pretty grass that’s for sure! 2%! Ha! Bahahahahahahahaha! Canaries! I needed a good laugh! Auction Sunday!? Woooohooo!
Oh man! I have never been able to hear what the auctioneer says cus they speak so fast and throw in a lot of extra sounds. lol. Great to have an interpreter for next video!
The cows are hysterically funny! It's so good to laugh. Thanks, Hilary and Pete. ♥️

Those cows just dance into the new pasture. Those are some happy cows.
The cows had to come back and report their findings on the new fencing, and to say thank you for the new grazing area.
It's great how your cows come running when you call them. They trust you to give them good things
I think it's underrated how wholesome this is to watch and how happy them cows are. The way they come jogging along as soon as you call them proves they're a happy bunch that trust you.
Until they are steak and burgers lol
You put a smile on my face Pete. All the jokes and fence building. Thanks for the memories.

Wow you make Farming Look like so much fun while you work ,good videosP/S love you sense of humor .
I love your cows! I have absolutely no experience with farming yet I find your channel entertaining and educational. I thank you for showing the real life of a farmer!
It’s so awesome how you guys have such a bond with your livestock, that seems to be a rare commodity these days, it’s great to see😄
It looks so easy when someone else does the work. All that fence in 10 mins. Thanks Pete!
A little nostalgia back when america had more farmers like you, good times!
Love the old school gas gage! Haven’t had to do that since my dads old gas MF 50’s was here on our small farm.
Thanks for a clean wholesome show You folks are a great inspiration to others how well you and youre wife work together God Bless and Thankyou
Pete I think your cows today wanted to be on this video. I just love it when you show the animals and the old tractors in use.
Love your working Farmalls. I learned to drive on a '41 Farmall A. First time grandpa let me solo, he said "Don't go behind the house", and of course, first thing I did was around the back!

Love the dad jokes, please never stop!! Love the farm and the way you present it. Keep up the great work, you are inspiring and entertaining
I stumbled across your site a couple weeks ago. I sure look forward to your new ones. Your family and yourself are a real class act. Wish you were my neighbors.
Great looking forage out there! I'd be bawling to get in if I was a cow too.
Thanks for another videos. See you Sunday.
What a lovely Video!
You can clearly see how the cows like their new field :)
I'm not into farming as a lifestyle, but I'll tell you what - you are smart and make me interested in most everything you do. Thanks for posting these videos

It's working , team work , congratulations , stay safe ! Bob
Pete, we are enjoying your jokes, don’t be discouraged by teenager’s rolling their eyes..
If it was me, I was gathering all my fathers jokes in to a best sellers book!!
What a great wife. The best attitude ever.
Absolutely fantastic, please keep these coming. Looking forward to your Sunday installment. Be safe, be well, stay healthy!
Boy, the fence fixing never ends! Thanks for videos like this, I need to learn the e-fence skill
Thanks again Pete. You have a nice farm and a great system of farming worked out.
Always a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for all you do Pete, I can’t wait for Sunday’s video!
OK you actually got me laughing hard on the Canary Island joke!🤣
Good Joke!
Happy Cattle. GREAT VIDEOS.
My gas gauge is my Dad’s old one, a 50+ year old yard stick. I have not gone metric yet!
I like your philosophy, Pete. Good enough is perfect!
Cool Cafe Wha? Tshirt. Did you know it was once owned by David Lee Roth's uncle?
The land is looking beautiful! I love this time of year.
Hi Greg, I did not know that! It's one of the places I used to go back when I traveled to NYC often.
The spring flush always looks amazing
Great video Pete. Will be watching Sunday with a notebook . Thanks
Looking forward to Sunday
Yes yes yes! The auction is the life blood of a small farm.
Hi Pete I went back to the old ways when I priced wood fence post.This winter I saved black locust branches in the hedge rows.My Grandfather planted honey locust and osage orange in hedge rows to keep cattle in.
"Come on cows!" has now replaced "Run Run Run Run Run". Luv it!
Great Video,. So glad I happened upon our channel a few months ago. Made the COVID winter bearable here in Canada!
Enjoyed it all, Pete. The Canary Island joke is your best ever!
I love your highly accurate high tech gas gauge!
I could just watch a montage of happy cows all day long! 😊
Wish we could get a few warm days to get the grass to shoot up here north of the border. After a couple weeks of persistent rain, we could easily fall behind the grass with some heat, but instead we're only grazing a few hours a day to not put too much pressure on the grass. Glad to see someone is having better luck!
I’m amazed how good you know what you do good on you mate
Great to see those Dexter's thriving
What a way to end a busy day with watch me favourite farmer
It was fun watching the cows trying to make up their minds! I am excited to see the auction! I've never been to one.
Handy to see how the fencing is done.
Excellent video Pete :) & Hilary :) plus cows and doing fences also yes grass up high hear too plus excellent kids out school to do summer season months work too!
That grass! Beautiful! Here in South Texas we got 6.5” of rain this last week and our grass is coming on. But man, not like you’ve got.....
Looking good you all
They came back out of the good field because they wanted to say thank you for the tall grass. That’s what they were all talking about. They wanted to make sure you ( Hurd ) them. Lol. Great video. Thanks
I love watching your channel

Great stuff!! Keep up the hard work and thank you for sharing!!!
Love your videos from New Brunswick canada
Excited to see the auction. We don’t have giant auctions where I am at, just a bunch of smaller ones scattered around.
Pete, I am of the opinion that the cows simply like yours, and Hillary’s company! 👍🏻👍🏻 Looking forward to the auction video!!
Great video Pete! I enjoy fencing, its peaceful. I like looking back at my fences and enjoying the effort pay off by keeping critters in.
Love your farm, I have chickens, turkeys, phesents, guineas, rabbits and ducks at my farm
👍 Good morning.
Thanks for this very enjoyable video.
You have a pleasant day. 🙌🙏☝️👍👍👍

Thank you for gracing us with happy cow clips
Amazingly I am beginning to enjoy your jokes as much as your farming....
Where Im from in England we have clips with a steel hook so u can hook it onto the fence again. We take them on and off for moving horses or cows
Ohhh and little pickets. That u juts stab in for posts and u juts loop it
That link isn’t a virus I promis
Looking forward to the Sunday video. Should be very useful information!
If the grass keeps growing at this rate you ought to have a good hay crop this year. Oh just thinking about those tender steaks make my mouth water.
Hi Pete, Hillary me too those antique gas gauges work endlessly tirelessly never fail only time they do is on the Human Side hmm I forgot to check. What's a cow that steps in poo. An in cow poop. And the bull with seagulls hes so gull a bull. Your about 3 weeks ahead of us here the buds are still on the trees some flowers no lilacs nice to see there. Have a great day.
My cat came to the TV when you called for your cows.
Loved the Hambush gag 😂
Cool. I love an auction
They're like kids. more interested in the box than the toy inside.
Pete you have a much prettier helper than your grandad! That's why you like putting up fence now! Like that new fangled gas gauge! Any morels in your woods? Enjoy your videos!
Good luck on the Auction
You all have more resources than we do. We have to use a wheat straw for a gas gauge. Showoff :0) Thanks for the cast.
The cows were hilarious in their exuberance and indecision!🤣😂🐄. I have found your videos to be so informative and enjoyable although some of the jokes are really bad it is part of the charm. 😝🤗❤️
Hillary should make more aoeriancees...you know Pete behind every great man is a great woman rolling her eyes
Hey, that gas gauge works just the same in our neighbors 1960 International pick-up!! As for me, we still do fences with maple posts and the 20 pound maul. Just like how you did as a kid. Camp No-fun.
Love your videos
Wow that grass is awesome in Corning NY a lot of hay fields are like 4 inches tall and look sad.
Those are great insulators, however for terminating a fence run using metal T-posts, I like to slip a piece of 3" PVC pipe over the T-post and tie the wire of polyrope directly to the post. This prevents shorts and makes it quick and easy.
the island jokes were your best ones yet lol.
Birds of a feather
took me so many years to figure out, this is where I belong...not the city rat race... hard work, elbow grease, challenges ... I think thats how we were meant to live ... it has such a strong tug on my heart

Then we cut them to length and split some of them. We used a hand operated post hole digger but our land was all sand so it dug easy. I was wondering if you have any Morell mushrooms in those woods?
The cows are very entertaining!🤣😂
Happy cows.
We still have locust posts from the 60s.
they are happy cows.
I once heard that you can put a cut on your fingernail, at the cuticle, and once it grows to the point of detachment from the nail bed, the piglets are born. Roundabout 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days. I'd believe it, but I also know how much more quickly my nails grow, when I'm taking vitamins vs not. I suppose the old timey pig farmers didn't supplement with vitamins, and probably had a similar diet. The more you know...

Happy cows!
Oh Pete n Hilarie! What a joke! Ya’ll do have pretty grass that’s for sure!
2%! Ha! Bahahahahahahahaha! Canaries! I needed a good laugh!
Auction Sunday!? Woooohooo!
This was like a cattle exercise video. "OK girls let's hoof it, the boys are watching. One two, one two. Up and lift." :0)
The Animals Love you
Oh man! I have never been able to hear what the auctioneer says cus they speak so fast and throw in a lot of extra sounds. lol. Great to have an interpreter for next video!
