We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.

Evan, that post driver is a thing of beauty. It not only speeds up the process, but the wear and tear it takes off you is priceless. Remembering how much work it was building fence with my Dad it is simply amazing.
Wise choice to let Mrs. Skunk take her time to mosey on down the road as she saw fit. I'm happy you did her and her little ones no harm. Folks tend to see skunks and opossums as pests when in fact, both are very beneficial in their own ways.
Good luck with the AI. We never used that technology. We always had a bull or borrowed one. Our last was an Angus and other than him liking to walk down that new fence Dad and I just built, he was never a problem. He was, in fact, very docile. A big puppy to be honest.
Keep up the good work!
Evan/Rebekah, another great vblog! Ma'am (flip-flop Gal), you need you some boots on when working outside! LOL
Bill I hope not but one day she may pay the price if she don't listen to ya.
Great hopes for 2 baby calves in the spring. ❤❤
The fence posts look great! Well done, Rebekah and Evan!
Good luck on the cows, and the fence should last a life time , looks great
Great video! I have run a lot of high tensile fence over the years, started putting in posts by eye, then transit and stakes, then string. We now get our main posts in and run the first line of actual fencing as the "stringline". The wind does not affect is nearly as much as the string, if at all, and the bonus is, you already have your first line done! Hope you guys have a wonderful day and good luck with the pregnancies!
That post driver was a good purchase! Nice to see it works on the pipes also. If only you could get the time and money back from all that concrete. I bet the clay will hold just as well as concrete. Maybe useful on the corners when ya start pulling wire, but i reckon you know what i mean.
Rebecca, i worry about your feet, open toed flip flops offer no protection and you do a lot of work that could destroy your feet. And without feet your whole carrere and homestead/farm would come to a very sad end. Its great you work together so well. Evan, / Mr. Producer-Director-Actor- Farmer-Mechanic etc... you owe it to your wife to make sure her feet are protected. I enjoy every one of your vids. thanks for sharing.
I was watching with my mom the other day. She worked on farms for most of her younger days and was shocked to see her wearing flip flops. The comfort ain't worth the risk.
JudithB Its hot down here 99 and 109 heat index. I got everything watered early, the decided to put a tarp over the grass on the driveway and cook it!! It will take a few days to kill the grass and weeds, then move the tarp to another spot. I am placing landscape timbers along the driveway replacing the old ones. Today, I decided to drill the holes near the ends and put in 12" rebar to nail the timbers down. I used 3 bits to drill larger holes and got partly done. The largest bit kept hanging up. So decided to hammer the rebar in, well it went down 6"s. So got out the big sledge, and it got too hot for me to be out side!!! Maybe tomorrow!!!!! LOL!!
You sure are becoming an expert at cutting, fitting, and welding! Great work!!
Phosphoric acid is great for cleaning brass also
Awesome video thanks for showing.
I wonder if the acid got onto the line and created the break. When needing to see the height of the fence post, just have Rebecca stand next to it. 🤫😜🤫. Hope you got some rain Sunday (6/23). I had @ half inch. 👍
Nice video . Thanks
Gloving up is great but remember to protect your eyes too. If you can taste or smell those fumes it means the acid vapour is reaching your face and your eyes are dealing with the exposure too. The effect will accumulate over the work period.
Good luck with the AI. Interesting choices with the genetics. The calves will be exciting to see.
Thanks for the update
Thx
That post treatment looks a lot like a cold blue process. Interesting!
Interesting to watch the process. Not nearly as complex as one might think.
Great job love your videos thank you keep up the great work
ACID! Use safety glasses to keep yourself safe 😊
No gloves and flip flops! LOL she kills me.
So good I watched it twice!!
Looking Good...!
Is there a chance for longer videos?
What length t post did you go with. I'm starting another pasture later this year as well.
Am I seeing things or are the lights in your house dimming on and off automatically.
It is just how the camera sees the LED under cabinet lights.
Couldn't you just tie a square knot and have 499.7 feet?????????????????????????? OOOOOHHHHH Evan>>>>
What welding rod are you using? 7018
6011 followed by 7018
You could have at least played a little Barry White while PJ did his magic.😀
Good luck, I hope it works!!!
We have a Mom and 5 baby skunks across the road in a tree.
Rebecca could outwork some men in the field!
I don't know if giving cows Artificial Intelligence is such a good Idea! I'm kidding, but that's where my mind goes every time you say AI. Lol. Hope they both get pregnant!
Evan your OCD is going on overtime.
Do you still have the dogs?
I bet you're glad your retired😊
Flip--Flops ?? scared of mice running over feet or just in the barn not the field
Flip Flop queen breaking every OSHA rules known to man kind...................LOL
Why not just buy or borrow a bull. ??? Just thinking. .
👋
Put Those Glasses on your eye's Not Your Hat ! C'mon Man you know Better
Rebecca looks sexy wearing flip flops, but if she drops something heavy on her feet, it's going to hurt.😢 Just saying.
Don't be breathing those vapors.
Mr Evan what you an your wife have done to transform your property into what it is at this point is remarkable hard work pays off in the end y'all have a beautiful farm take care be careful of the heat enjoy your videos so much God bless from Tennessee
Evan is his first name
Love watching all the work you two do to your property. But- im sorry----- REBECCA GET RID OF THOSE FLIP FLOPS! Its acid!!!! What good are gloves gonna do if u get that on your feet!!!!
Rebekah loves her flip flops 👍
I think your fence is looking good and I know what you're saying about doing the fence post alone, very hard to do. That was interesting with the phosphoric acid. Nice work and video, thanks and have a great week!
When working with any acid, having soda water available would be advised.
I would also be wearing safety glasses
Tell Rebekah she needs safer shoe wear working on the farm!
Always love to see what you guys are up to, keep up the great work!
Evan I have never seen such a cumbersome cattle chute I can imagine it’s stressful to use. Luckily you don’t have to use it a lot that would make for a long day.
GREAT to see a TEAM of husband and Wife working together.
Always fun to watch the Farming folk and critters. Hopefully the stork will bring a young calf and the cows will grow into a herd. The Rams, ducks and geese will grow envious
Rebekah looks good with the tape measure hanging on her front pocket!! 😊 Looks like she knows what she is doing. I love it. ❤
Hey Evan I was wondering how the post driver works with the 3rd function do you just hold the button one direction and it drives the post and how does the hydraulic flow work with the post driver going up and down driving the post
Good video today, You Guys ! You put in a lot of work & it shows ! Be Safe & Take Care !! I LOVE YOU BOTH !!! 🥰🥰
I'm with you Rebekah. A/C is my best friend here in Oklahoma. We reached 101 today, ugh, with more of this heat predicted for at least the next 2 weeks. Grateful that my A/C works well. :) Always enjoy your channel and look forward to your videos.
Rebecca, we love you and wish you would wear boots when you work on the farm. We don't want to see you hurt your feet.
❤
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤how’s retirement going ❤❤ I bet you’re staying really busy ❤❤first year was really hard on me❤ are you wanting heifers ❤are you wishing for a WAGYU BULL❤ to have that DNA❤in your herd❤I wish you luck 🍀 with getting a WAGYU 🐂 ❤if 2 heifers get pregnant around the same time❤ the male bull takes longer to be born❤it’s 50/50🎉🎉🎉I will be waiting and watching in April ❤
Its so cool that you have so many useful tools. A plasma cutter. Boy does. That save time. Your skills are amazing. Welding with several kinds of units. Great content and you teach us different ways to do a job. Thanks
You and Rebeka have really done a remarkable job on your fencing! I'm shocked you still haven't had any rain.Don't know how you's managed to do that lol Today's our first day of no rain in a week here in Northern Michigan and its supposed to start back up tomorrow. I'm with Rebeka on that heat thing but then I'm old lol Only thing worse is heat and humidity. Anyway, great job today!
Thanks 👍
Rebeca is such a sweetheart ❤
The posts u r tying your string to.
Make sure they are plumb and use 2 strings for your guide. Then have the post/t-post touch bottom and top string. 👍
Evan, you will have better hay if you place your wrapped bales standing on an end and not resting on their side. There is more plastic on the ends so standing the bales on an end offers better protection months from now.
I love seeing Rebekah taking controle of the tractor(s), seems to have quite a feeling for it 🙂
I CAN NOT believe you 2 didn't wear any eye protection on the paint prep!
And the wife’s in flip flops🙃🙃
Great job on the pipe fence posts. Much easier with the tractor 🚜 pounding them in😎💪👀☝️👏😎😇💯🐕🐕🐃🐃🐄🐄🐖🐖🐖🦃🐔🐓🐣🦆🦆
Well it seems you are alot faster at welding your getting the hang of it
should be able to put your arm in the cow and feel the calf in a while teach becca how she has small hands
Good Luck maybe we will see babies and a fence to keep them in the property.
You can get human like pregnancy tests for cows using there blood
Fingers crossed for both cows to be bred and spring calves.
Love PJ shirt
Did Rebekah quit her job too? Seems like she's in more video's now
No, she still works at the hospital.
Very cool! We are just starting our small farm. These videos are very inspiring! Take care!
Love your channel, I love the country life unfortunately I married a city boy. Happy for you on giving your dream. One question, Do you guys have children if so are they close by?
Yes, we have 2 boys. They are 25 years old
You two make the process of “meticulously installing fencing” look easy. And it’s going to stay and look straight and strong for many years to come. Great work!
You are turning in to a first class pipefitter😁.
Hi..... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead chicken 🐓 duck 🦆 goose farmer garden BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
I’m impressed looks like 6013 up hand
I really enjoy watching your videos and I’ve learned alot from them on what looks to be rocket science turns into just common sense. I’ve made probably 2x’s the mistakes you have.
God bless you and Rebecca and your farm.
I like Rebeccas safety shoes , look nice😂😂😂😂
She is just like my wife, the more dangerous the job, the less PPE she wears. I fuss her all the time but she don't listen.
👍
If you take a pair of snips and cut a Coors Light can in half the bottom will fit down nice and tight over that 2 3/8" pipe.
Myself and a few friends were just talking about working in the heat, non of us can handle it n e more. We came to the conclusion its part of aging 🦉☀😎
It is ok to give your helper, Rebecca, a hug on camera.
When I was a kid, my job was to lead our bull to neighbors when the heifers needed RI (real insemination)
I don’t know, but it seems double H braces would have been stronger, looked good but less work than making one H and one angle?
What are your plans with the Jersey cross Angus/Wagyu calves once they’re born?
How do you like your generator/welding rig? What would you change if you had to do it over again?
Best wishes for the AI of your "girls"..A nice looking fence already
I certainly wouldn’t put an Angus over a Jersey heifer,
What, no eye protection from splash? Wonder what it would do if splashed into eyes?
got to love it you work with gloves and steel toes and she out there no gloves and flip flop...
My goodness people. I think she is old enough to pick out her own footwear.
Can you use baking soda to neutralize the acid so it wont etch the concrete
You place is looking great, nice fence
