I like how Pete makes the effort to tuck in his shirt and put on a belt. We appreciate the attention to detail!
Pete and Hillary, I am addicted to your videos, can't get enough. Thank you very much!
I lived in the Caribbean for many years and goat was the most popular and most expensive meat. Not for tourists, but for indigents.
It always puts a smile on my face, when Pete uploads!
Me too!
Mannn houdy! He just gets better and better.
Saaaaaammmmeee! 🎉❤

Thanks for the grilling lesson at the end! Nothing compares to the taste of good steaks grilled right!😊
It's like I can smell them cooking and mmm, just imagine the taste 😊
Most evident is the common sense that you display on your channel. Because every one who watches learns how to do it right. Without the hype. Absolutely fabulous.
Hi Pete I like the way those cows follow you they all stay in a perfect line they don’t even stop to investigate you are a good herdsman i Remember going out to retrieve the cows for milking man sometimes you got a good work out chasing those milkers around thanks for the memories as Bob Hope would say enjoy your channel have a great day
Being a relatively new viewer, I've been rolling back through previous videos, only around 40 so far. 😀It's great to see how your farm has been progressing through the years. I my wife loves watching with me sometimes. We have the opportunity to run a 30 acre farm I grew up on. Your channel is very helpful in finding a direction with our new venture. I have a lot to learn that I just didn't pay attention to when I was a kid. Thanks for all you do.
40? There are decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty.
❤😂😊😊😂
As a person who has a sheep content channel, I completely agree to why you won’t. I live in Oklahoma where the sheep market is a lot better and more profitable
Another masterpiece you two! About goats... I hope someday you'll see what my Granddad told me. He bought the 132 acres I grew up on in 1950. Logged it, built the barn that still stands there, fenced it and turned in pigs and goats to clear it. Pre-coyotes of course. He told me one day solemnly," Kirk, there's only one way to keep a goat from jumping the fence. You put him up a board so he can walk over!😂😂😂
You can say that again and again and..........
I once saw a goat standing on the top of a fence post. There was nothing attached to the post yet and it was 5 feet tall. It had to jump at least 5 feet and land on the top of a 6 inch diameter post. I told my brother that the only way he was going to keep his goats in his new fence was to make them think that he was trying to keep them out.
@@danielbutler578 Hahaha! My grandfather did get some nervous ( fainting) goats when I was growing up. Poor things, I think they hated to see me coming!
We enjoy your show! A little. Love seeing you two working together, it's what more marriages sure need!!
😅😅😊
Pete don't know if you realize how much your videos make me happy and it's not an easy thing to do
Ketan
😅😅
Your channel is like a cool drink of water to me and I needed it today worse than usual
Good morning Pete and Hillary always look forward to your videos you're almost like a cow Whisperer hopefully the turkeys will do good this summer
😊😊😊😊😊😢s😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
13k views in a hour - Pete you got the whole coffee crew here!! Stay cool and watch for storms. Thanks for the video!
If you want to raise rocks, get sheep and goats. They will destroy your ground cover by eating even the roots and then erosion washes off your topsoil and there you go, ROCKs!
Sounds like you have too high a stock rate…zero issues if done correctly.
Saw some wild turkey pults on the way to work this morning. Momma and her nuggets. Lol
Hi Pete, I cook my tenderloins whole the same way and they are perfect pink and so delicious for slicing. I cooked professionally for years and you always remind me of some great techniques on various cuts. Farming, food, and Tractors! It doesn't get better! Kudos to you and Hillary for such wonderful content.. Take care and stay cool.
Thanks for the info about sheep and goats. you make a lot of good points!
It warms my heart to listen to the cows 🐄
It's so refreshing watching the 'Extras' in the field belly aching, they obviously enjoy the grass you pay them with.
Wow Pete, rib eyes are an all time favorite and those sure look delicious. Once again entertaining and educational.
Maybe you should do an episode on gravel and dirt types? The different kinds that are useful for projects on the home/farm, or something like that. You seem to know a lot about it and it looks like you enjoy the topic!
we raise goats in the woods, to help clear...we use electric fence that is not even on a charger..they are well trained
"Open Mike night", LOL, it took me a second ! good one.
GrillCooking tip always welcome 😋
Love this channel. Pete has said so many times about product costs and demand for his produce, he was going to expand his pig operation with a view to upping quality and easing workload and his subsequent change of direction is fully explained and understandable. He has also said many times that Chickens and eggs are the bread and butter of the farm, he has also said that the chickens are more labour intensive. Has Pete thought about increasing his poultry production with some emphasis on easing that workload. For example having modular grazing pens with simple gates to move the chickens along a run of pens. watching him at the market he seems to regularly sell out quickly on poultry. No criticisms of his operation in any way whatsoever just an observation.
If the price of farmland is anything like Canada it is unaffordable.
Pete is making me want to be a Farmer. Raise my own food and bring it to Market. I don’t trust our Food Supply anymore. Thanks for always keeping it real with us Pete. ❤️🤝
Agree 💯
Your correct, if you cannot raise your own meat and veggies buy from a local farmer.
I have just finished making a big stock pot full of chicken and vegetable soup to freeze,its winter in Australia and nothing beats a big bowl of home made soup to warm you up on a cold day.❤️
Raise what sells! Wow! What a concept.
A friend raised goats. Her heard of about 30 would thin itself by 1/3 over 2 years. She became accustomed to escorting a diseased goat way out into the woods. She would hold a 22 up against the head while holding the head with the left hand. She became so accustomed to this procedure that one day her left hand was a little too close and fortunately only got powder burns. She became more cautious. Within a couple years she got out of the goat business because accounting was quite lucrative enough.
Now THAT is an excellent dad joke!! Never heard that one before 😂
You are 1000% right about goats. I felt like my full time job was to prevent their deaths
I always told people who suggested I get goats, that having a goat is like having a permanent mischievous puppy prone to injury. I love goats, just as long as they belong to someone else...
We had goats when I was growing up and my full time job was trying to not kill them. They would get out of their fence and would eat everything but what you wanted them to eat. I had an engine that I was going to rebuild and my brother's goats got to it and ate the tarp off it, then they ate the wires and hoses off it. By the time I found out about it, water had gotten into it and ruined the engine when it froze. They would also get out and jump on my car. The only way I like a goats is cooked and ready to eat!!!!
what about 1 goat, not for profit, but as one who eat your weeds down in your horse pasture and be your buddy.
@@BLYFACTOR goats hate to be alone, so like Lays you can’t have just one 😂😂
I find dairy goats so easy to raise. My two and others I’ve had are set it and forget it animals. I just feed them once a day. I don’t vaccinate, etc and never have sick animals. The only reason I lost goats in the past was because of a dog attack.
That shot of the 2 bulls just staring at the camera got a good laugh out of me. :)
I would tend to follow Pete into the house with those steaks. Yum. A little glass of red wine would go well with that evening meal. Country living at it's best.
As I grew up on a farm,it's alot of hard work,but there are alot of satisfying days,such as getting those little turkeys,
I always wonder why people raise sheep and goats. Unless there's a market readily available they turn into difficult lawn ornaments. Good chat.
Woven geotextile also saves aggregate because it stops your pit run from getting packed down into the subsurface native soils. It simply holds the aggregate on top of the mud.
" Open Mike night......" excellent delivery sir!
When ever you let your chickens out I always think of the Theam from the Benny Hill show, just seams right!
Pete, you were only missing an ice-cold beer with those steaks.
Good way to start the day . Great video . Nice to see everyone.
Something so cool about knowing the whole process that goes into raising your Dexters and seeing the end of the cycle when you get to enjoy a nice steak! Thanks for another great video :)
Always enjoy the chores and what is going on a round the farm. Those cows sure do like to 'talk' to you Pete! Great video!!
Pete- I never comment but thank you for making such wholesomely beneficial content.
Hearing you speak calms my soul.
Reminds me of a farmer I used to work for when he had 100 beef cows just an all around great guy this world needs more farmers like these guys
Pete, you are a mind reader. I remembered you went over cooking grass fed beef before. I was going to go looking for that video today. No need now. Thanks!
Thanks for going over your cooking method!
I love the releasing of the hens every morning!. It always puts a smile on my face, when Pete uploads!.
Boy oh boy them steaks do look good I can smell them all the way over here in Phoenix. The farm is looking great wise move on the barn expansion. My wife and I enjoy your videos Pete it’s good to see you and Hilary breaking the sweat.
Man, Hil carried that full drum! I wouldn’t argue with her. She can have my parking spot.
Sheep and goats are good for dry places where there is poor pasture. They are raised for meat and milk to make cheese. Its a different thing all together.
Hi Pete, Hilary is really pitching in and working hard with you. Carrying those bags of feed and listing that plywood, you need to make sure she has a relaxing evening. The two of you make a great team. Those cows really talk to you. See you next time!
Pete's a real farmer who happens to youtube. He's so practical.
I know you don’t always read these comments, Pete, but I just wanted to say that Steak looked absolutely incredible! I live the wrong side of ‘The Pond’, but I would have loved the opportunity to buy some meat from you and cook it in the manner you have shown. Another excellent video. Thank you both.
Hahaha!!! Made me giggle right out of the gate - the captions interpret the chickens to be saying exactly that - "hahaha"! TH-cam continues to aspire to the height of silly translations. Chuckling chickens, bwahahaha!! I love it! ♥
I just love those cows! They’re adorable
I totally agree that the reverse sear is the best way to cook steaks. And Pete, you obviously understand that Rule #1 is start with a good quality steak. You can attest to the quality of the beef because you produced it. Many thanks to you and Hillary for allowing us to tag along as you live the good life.
We all could take a lesson from the way you approach life. Reason, common sense, focus, internal and external happiness.
There's nothing like a farm. You want to really learn about living. There's nothing like a farm❤
Agree 100%!!
Love your videos. Thank you for always making me smile and laugh, especially these days. 😊 Have you given thought to creating a class to teach others how to do what you do? I feel like I always learn something from your videos and would like to learn more.
I love the releasing of the hens every morning!
Nice to see you working on your new PROJECTS Pete can't wait to see you complete them im sure there going to be awesome oh nice to see you got your Turkey's in thank you for sharing pete
Raise what sells, great word to share
we always put ply in the corners to make them curved so they couldnt pile in the corners
Pete. Love to watch your show and especially when you cook but I have one request- would you please clean the lid to your grill. I know you will have to do it more than once to keep it clean but it would jus look so much better. Thanks so much. Barb
Looks great Pete, enjoyed the show for over 2 years. That IH- 560 might be a great project for a paint job this winter. I believe it will look fantastic.Just a suggestion ! Fred
i AGREE!
I have been fortunate to have watched both open mike shows.
Roll Tide, Pete!! We down here in Alabama are quite partial to that school!!
Thank you Pete and Hillary for the time you take to do your videos. My Wife and I love. I was fifth generation Dairy farm raised. I remember when Dad came home with a 504 Farmall and three bottom plow, in the middle 60’s it was a much needed for the farm. I could take baler two wagons and go 8-9 miles bale two loads and pull it all back to our farm. Thanks again Pete.
Another awesome video. Love how you show your full day of work. Thank you for the grilling tips. I have learned so much. When you pay good money for steaks you need to know how to cook them. Hilary has such a great smile hanging out with the poultry!
Good tips on the Poults, I wonder why that is to withhold the feed initially?
Yeah, there's cattle folk and there's sheep folk. Two different breed of people.
Thanks, Pete and Hillary. It's always a good day when I see a new video uploaded.
I enjoy watching your video, while I drink my morning coffee. Thank you.
Thanks for the cooking tip. Certainly will give it a try.
Oh Pete, making me hungry and I just ate breakfast. Guess its going to be JAFAF steaks for dinner tonight. Thanks Pete! Going to try your methods on the charcoal grill tonight. Thanks for sharing.
Good video Pete, thanks for the cooking tips.
As a Boer goat producer they are a lot of work. My wife grew up with cattle and she said although she hates dealing with them you can almost forget you have cows compared to goats. Now some are heartier than others but we refer to things such as well…they just pulled a goat and died.
I love how the cows follow you when you call them. I enjoy your farming videos. Keep up with your family and your farming.😊
Nice job on the barn floor, that base gravel your putting down should work great. I always like it when I move my cows to new pasture, like yours they all belly ache and moan when it's time to go, but when they get on nice new pasture all you can hear is munch and grass taring. Those steaks looked awesome, great tip on cooking them, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks Pete, have a nice day!
One thing I've noticed, if Pete says he's going to do it, HES GOING TO DO IT
I now have a craving for some medium rare. Thanks Pete and Hil for the video.I Enjoy the" what you do's" on your farm
I love your videos. Patty and Tulip are a hoot.
You have the BEST cooking channel on TH-cam!!!! Thank you!!!
Another gem. Thank you Pete and Hillary!!!!! I know I misspelled Hillary, but I can't remember how she spells it. LOL! So enjoyable to watch your videos. Enjoy the day from Cleveland.
As always great tips. I learn something new each time I watch Pete's videos. The thing I learned today is tips on raisings turkeys. Thanks so much.
A very good work/cook day, roll tide, thanks for letting us visit.
Thanks Pete for the Video and up date!!👍👍
Thanks for the grilling tip Pete.😊
Hi Pete, it’s been a while since I’ve commented but my feedback is very much the same. Keep up the positivity and authentic lifestyle you put forth in your content.
Vince from Syracuse.
My mouth is watering, ribeye is the best!❤
Long as they didn’t do a mike drop he might survive. 😂😂😂😂
When you do the taste test on the steaks it is important that it's the kids steak that you test......I tell the kids I'm checking to make sure it's not poisonous for them.
This is the time of year the corn 🌽 grows quickly...
The Galloping Herd. 😊 Great title for cowboy poem.
Now I'm hungry. The steaks looked perfect.
Bella Barthurst from the Guardian news company in England wrote a great piece on the knackermen of England (the render truck drivers) and she interviewed and rode along with one of them, Ian Carswell, back in 2021. It's a great read if you have the time and stomach for it. Just Google "Guardian" and "Knackerman" (advanced warning: some graphic images and descriptions included).
She asked Carswell about raising sheep and wrote the following,
"His view of sheep (“Keel over if you so much as look at them the wrong way”) is not a minority one. Among those who manage the less hardy lowland sheep breeds, the general view is that a sheep’s main aim once in the world is to get out of it as fast as possible. They fight or they get scab or bluetongue or rinderpest or they overheat or they eat the wrong grass or they find the one rusty nail in a clean field or they get stressed by horses or dogs or a change in the weather, or they eat yew or they get infected cuts after shearing or they abort their own lambs or they’ve got too much of one mineral but not enough of another. As a farming friend puts it: “If a sheep could, it’d die twice.”"
I think your assessment of raising sheep is a good one, Pete.
Stylin’ in those cut off shorts lol. I love mine. I try to fancy them up for school with a couple cuffs rolled in them. I love all your videos. Just so authentic and real. No sugar coating.
Boy Pete, that spot where the "Poo-Palachian Mountains" used to be is hard to get used to seeing now lol For so long we saw that pile there. I love seeing the fields of green and hearing the tractors and seeing new life coming to the farm. Such great entertainment!
Take care and have a fantastic day! We'll see you on the next one.
Always a pleasure to see both of you working together. You are spot on with the goat assessment. If water can get thru, so can a goat!
I’ve never had an issue with my dairy goats escaping. They’re well behaved.
Those steaks look great. I bet you are happy to get that barn floor in..
