  • The pole barn addition shell is complete. The contractor starts trenching for water and electricity. Hilarie and I move piglets out to pasture, and shuffle the breeding pigs to different pens in the barn.

    Pete, I just appreciate the way you treat your animals and the way you run your farm. The animals are well taken care of and you have a profitable farm, you are an example for me!

    Hi Pete. I have been watching your channel for a year now. I am not one who responds often but will do so now because I feel compelled. I am a 70 year old retired firefighter/fire protection engineer technician from two careers respectively. My boyhood past and present has always cherished living a life on a small farm, much like you show us. It’s too late for me to take up a life as you put forth for our enjoyment. I watch all the time. Yes it’s what you do that catches the attention of many of us. Don’t stop! Wish I could help out.

    It's the pig shuffle dance. Pigs swinging right, then left and back. When over, one pig isn't too happy and vocalises her disdain. Cows on the other hand seem like to be known as the pasture princesses. Regal wear of fine coats of black fur. Real beauties in their realm.

    The big shuffle for the pigs. Billy boy's finally got some company, no wonder he's all excited and breathing heavy. Brownies figuring out how to transition from pig to cougar. Piglets fixing to discover a whole new world. The monsters placing their order for their up-coming last meal.
    The barn addition is looking great, that's going to make life so much easier all around.
    So sorry to hear about Coco's still-born. Life delivers some hard knocks sometimes.

My husband's name happens to be Pete and we love watching this channel together since he grew up on a farm down south & we're about to buy & start a farm together. This is both of our favorite channel so we're so excited to be the next generation of what Pete (this channel's creator) wants to teach the next generation. We love u Pete & Hil!

    Dang Pete! You are doing a bunch of housekeeping! The farm is looking great. THanks for the explanation about the piglets on the same plot as last season? When the kids go off to college that drain field will dry up and you can go back to the annual rotation. Those brush piles and christmas trees past make great habitat for little critters and birds. Eventually - they return to the earth too, right. Both the little piglets were real singers! cute as buttons. Thanks for sharing Pete and Hilary ❤

    Pete, (and Hilare) you are my #1 favorite channel on you tube. As such, if you run into a financial problem, (for example, recently when you lost 60 hens) I would not have a problem financially contributing to the channel. Just throwing it out there, all you need to do is ask, and I, along with (surely) others, would be willing to help.

When I and my husband grew up, we had families that owned farms and loved playing in the barn. Our children missed out on that farm connection although we always went to the county fair. Your videos are fantastic and it’s wonderful to have that virtual connection to share with my grandkids! Thank you

    I've seen cattle farmers replace a lost calf with another, harvesting the coat from the deceased calf and putting on the newly purchased calf - likely one from a dairy, a bull calf. Sometimes the cow accepts it, sometimes not.
