You just have to be from the country to understand, that a bunch of turkeys crapping on your grass is an "elegant" way to apply fertilizer! Thanks Pete, we enjoy your videos!!
PETE! bro thats a fine idea! i never thought about raiseing turkeys for pre-sale i think you said? you sir ARE the WIZARD of old tractors they sure bring back memories of the family farm, so a giant THANK YOU SIR!!! great video
Thank you! I spent most of the day working on refurbishing a distributor for the H...video on that coming soon, depending on how long it takes me to get parts.
I've used similar fence posts here in Sweden, with one huge and important difference. The one we're using have a foot step at the bottom so you can press them down with your feet and not with your hands, trying not to break the post.
I know hard ground I found a cordless drill and a 3/8 18" brick and concrete bit helps tremendously. Really enjoy the educational and definitely entertaining videos.
I use the two spike premier electro netting. No bending over just step on with boot. I am in Adirondack soil every other fence post doesn’t go in the first try due to rocks!
Pete and Hillary, thank you so much for sharing with us your farm experiences! Looking forward to raising my own turkeys. Best wishes for having an abundantly fantastic harvest! Happy fall y’all! 🍁🍂🍁
I always love and promote videos from here. It is some really great transparent education with number crunching and everything. Most people hide out those parts and thats not really helpfull for others starting out. Way to go ! great video :)
just bring a length of rebar and a small sledge, a couple taps slightly less than the spike depth might clear a pilot hole for the fence and still the post will be tight
Glad you are set thru the winter. Regarding your water issues last month(s)... have you considered a solar trickle pump and a couple 2500 gallon plastic tanks? I have been looking for land where some pretty deep wells need to be dug, and prior to drilling I was looking at these types of tanks for the interim. For about $6000 (I know, not insignificant) you could slowly fill two 2500 gallon tanks when the water level is good and use it as a buffer when you hit drought season. Might not be enough to keep the pastures watered, but less of a strain on your water table when it is dry. Just a thought. Have a great week Pete.
I want to let all views know .. please let the ADS PLAY on this channel .. his content is fantastic and its the least we could do ... LET THE ADS PLAY!!!!
Hi ya Pete. I have a suggestion for what it's worth. Why not carry a large phillips head screw driver and make a pilot hole in the ground for your fence posts?
Thank you Pete for all of your video posts. Our current plans would not be as far along without them! I’ve seen where Joel Salatin has raised turkeys in the portable broiler pens. He’s even raised them together in the pens with broilers (a 1 turkey to 5 broiler ratio). I’m planning to raise about 30 broilers in my back yard next spring to get some experience. Any thoughts about using the portable pen for turkeys in the late summer/fall?
Hi David, we did that the first year we raised turkeys. It worked ok for a dozen turkeys or so. With 100 turkeys, we found it easier to use the current setup.
Thankyou for teaching and sharing , us city folks need this good reality . Sincerely in Utah , I love upstate New York was there 40 years ago , has it changed much ?? The west sure has Thankyou again . Nancy
Thanks Pete for the interesting videos. What one farm animal does the farmer always take when he is going to be driving through town? A leg horn of course!
Good Morning Pete! How long does it take to pull up all of the fencing and then place it back down? Great Video I really love these kind of videos explaining everything! Did you do an in depth video on the Gehl baler like you did the New Holland 279 I think is the model. Thanks for the videos you don't know how much I appreciate it! Have a good day!
Thank you David. I think Henry is too young to know (I hope he does, more on that in Friday's video). He loves mechanics and engineering, but sometimes it's tough to get him away from the computer screen.
It only happens about 8 times per year; that's how many times the turkeys get moved. I try not to run over the posts and only the fabric. I think that fence will last longer than I do.
Hey Pete !! You could build a hand cart for your electronet fence like the golf bag handcart that golfers use. Just some light metal tubing welded up with a hanger system on top to hold the fence and a tray at the bottom so it's off the ground and not dragging and tripping you up. You can hang it up and then deploy it with ease without having to try to hold and gather and walk without tripping. Like one of these : southamptongolfclub.com/best-golf-bags-for-push-carts/
You heard about the guy who would come at night and steal the farmer's hogs. Right. He was caught, arrested, and charged with being a Ham Burglar......
You pride yourself on raising dexters on pasture and that your product is a higher quality than bigger farms. Now you have to go to the bigger farms for feed. Will you lower your prices or do you think that since you raise them better you can charge a higher price. I have no problem with your business and support your farm. I dislike how you say you raise a premium product from bigger farms. I understand that direct to consumer is a higher price, but don’t think that since your farm is small that it is an anyshape better than a big one.
I'm not sure how you can judge our products without trying them. Supermarket chicken & turkey tastes like cardboard compared to ours. Meat is a product of the environment it was raised in, simple as that.
Just a Few Acres Farm you’re right, but you bash big farms in every video and now you need there help to feed your cattle. I support your farm like I said, but not when you bash big farms that spray nasty chemicals. They feed people just like you and me too. And taste is very subjective, anyone who puts work into something will say there’s is better than anyone else.
I don’t bash big farms; I lament the passing of the small family farms that built the American landscape, and am against the forces that have beheld farmers to the banks & agribusiness corporations.
I have a small Dexter Cattle farm in Kentucky, and like Pete, I too know that the product is better from small operations. I know this because the customer tells me that it is. In the end, it’s the consumer who decides. I challenge you to buy some of Pete’s beef and some from Walmart. Cook them at same time and do a blind tasting with someone who is honest. Ask them which they prefer.
@@dougcorrigan9677 Small operations often have the opportunity to let the carcass hang in the cooler of the custom meat packer. That makes a big difference. The big firms don't have time for that so the grocery store meat is tougher.

The Turkey videos are always among my favorites. The birds are just so darn entertaining! 😄
Thanks Greg!
Thank you Pete as always a terrific video and very informative. You guys are the bee's knees that's for sure.
CHICAGO, IL USA - Great job!! New Zealand is a beautiful place. Who needs to Hurd turkeys when you have a trimmer 😜
I use electro net for sheep and love it!! The double spike posts work really well in tougher ground since you step them in.
Enjoy watching you guys work together!

Thank you Meta Morphea!
Good video! Turkeys lookin' great! Nice plan for rotating their pasture... It all works together for a common goal...

Really like the way you keep your animals more on pasture versus grain/hay. 😀😀

I have raised a small flock myself nothing better than fresh turkey. And no they don't drown in a rain storm
love your videos , a very interesting life you lead , stay safe from N Ireland .
I would definitely try the cordless drill and masonry bit to pre drill a hole for the fence posts. Nice video.
Fri nd of mine scored some turkey after rod o this yr and we helped butcher it was great experience
Thanks for another informative video Pete. I wish you would do a video on cost analysis on raising your turkeys, chickens and cows.
Another great video from you all, might have to steal that basket ball hoop idea!
Hi ya Pete. I have a suggestion for what it's worth. Why not carry a large phillips head screw driver and make a pilot hole in the ground for your fence posts?
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AND VERY INFORMATIVE AS ALWAYS! THANK YOU

Thankyou again . Nancy
Maybe a small drill bit in a drill driver would help setting post??
Good luck ,keep safe you two,still no rain i see .
Nice operation. Wish I lived closer to purchase
Feed must be cheap. What do you get for the Birds?
Could you possibly do a video on how you butcher your chickens and turkeys and the tools you use?
Great video. Do you use the same feather plucker machine for the turkeys as the broilers?
Yes we do Mary, but it only does 1 turkey at a time, vs. 2 chickens.
Great farm Pete
Thanks Pete for the interesting videos. What one farm animal does the farmer always take when he is going to be driving through town? A leg horn of course!
How much are your turkeys? When do you require the orders to be placed for next year?
Good Morning Pete! How long does it take to pull up all of the fencing and then place it back down? Great Video I really love these kind of videos explaining everything! Did you do an in depth video on the Gehl baler like you did the New Holland 279 I think is the model. Thanks for the videos you don't know how much I appreciate it! Have a good day!
Wow !
100lbs a day! Woah! I’m assuming you have a grain bin and get it in bulk? What’s your set up?
Ditto on the butchering!
Pete, I enjoy your videos, especially the old tractors. Do you think Henry might take on full time farming?
Thank you David. I think Henry is too young to know (I hope he does, more on that in Friday's video). He loves mechanics and engineering, but sometimes it's tough to get him away from the computer screen.
For How much do you sell one pound of turky?
Do you have all 110 sold or do they go to the market. Thanks
Whats a usual per pound for the turkeys thanks
About time Henri was driving that steam engine of yours. He's about the right age to start driving on the farm.
He is the right age to drive a tractor, but! When the young ones are driving it's Dad who ends up opening the gates.
I assume this is 48" tall fence. Do you ever have problems with them flying over the fence?
They don't fly over. Their food and their flock are inside the fence, so they have little incentive to do so.
Curious as to where you got your turkeys. I've never seen them offered as Toms (males) only, just st run.
What kind of turkeys do you have?
Do you sell small pigs for other people to raise?
Thanks a lot !!
Gee Pete, have you ever stacked your round bales like tin cans? Seems like that might work better if you can do it.
Hi Donald, I'm not able to do that; I only have a spear & not a grabber.
I'm not sure exactly why but I get a bad feeling about driving over the fence eventually it's going to ruin it
It only happens about 8 times per year; that's how many times the turkeys get moved. I try not to run over the posts and only the fabric. I think that fence will last longer than I do.
What state are you in?
How do i start a farm
Can you show butchering shows
....use a battery drill with along drill ....easy..
Winter coat already?
The nights have been below freezing; frost every morning! It definitely feels like Fall.

Why did the trukey want the shirt....he wanted better dressing....LOL
If you run out of topics for videos, how about one on turkey economics?
🤘🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🤘 Türkiyemm
You heard about the guy who would come at night and steal the farmer's hogs.
Right. He was caught, arrested, and charged with being a Ham Burglar......
where are your kids. . .? You know, those young strapping people.
