What a wonderful site to see all the animals tucked in safe & warm. Good to see you and Miss Saundra doing chores together again. You guys are a hoot! Continued prayers for God's blessings.
So humbled to be able to watch your channel when my chores are done and off of work. To see the amazing and rapid growth of yalls farm is remarkable in just a short amount of time. GOD is great. My wife and i just started our journey mid last year and with piglets and chickens and turkey we unfortunately dont have the space for cattle. It is breathe takin the winter wonderland you have there. GOD Bless hope to see new footage soon
Being prepared has been a plus for you guys. Just like I side, a old burlap feed sack will save them pants put over top of fence. Your right, snow is pretty, but never fun to work in. I know the piglets under the hay were happy and warm. I could sit in front of that nice stove for hours. Blessings on you guys, and glad you guys have each other to do chores🙏🏻
Glad you didn't get more snow than you did. I got 11 inches in Candler NC and my hogs loved it and they have a shed to get in. Cold times but we'll survive.
When family was raising pig we always soaked they're feed during warm weather soaked feed at the grainery when weather turn cold buckets kept behind our wood fired heartening the house kept enough that feed would be 48 to 72hours could really smell the grain feed fermentation in the house lol lol lol But soaked wet feed starts breaking down pigs are able to digest and use more of feed before it passes thru system
Yeah. We are getting great results with soaking the feed. Nothing scientific but they seem to be gaining more on less feed. Id like to start fermenting but need a better system.
@@SheratonParkFarms we just used metal 5gal buckets plastic hadn't caught on yet summer temperature was warm enough we had enough buckets that could go 72 hr before feeding smelled AL ost good enough to drink lol but then we only raised 6 adults plus whatever young they produce would sell feeders and raise couple our family This was all off grid in the Okanogan mounts Winter sometime we would get wheat from local grower exchange for pig and use 55 gal drum fill about half water with wheat then fill with water build small fire uder and let cook the wheat would soften and swell filling the barrel Mostly fed ground corn and round barley 2 to 1 the fermented feed smell like brewery Pig pen was 3 acres with natural spring feeding the small stream in middel that stayed wet and muddy
I'm glad to see things are going well and yes snow is pretty but sometimes once it melts it leaves a big mess. I loved Sandra's comment on the fire as always I will keep my fingers crossed and keep you in my prayers be blessed
I try to keep my pigs closer to an electric outlet in Jan and feb. I know not everyone can do that. Put a submersible heater in a nipple drinking barrel when it stays cold. Also I’ve been wetting the feed when I feed them. They seem to eat it easier that way. They don’t sling as much around like when it’s dry also
Best pork I’ve ever had was what my sister raised on her goat dairy. We always kept pigs so we had a way to get rid of milk that didn’t pass the bacteria test at the co-op!
So glad everyone is faring well! Soon it will be mudageddon 2022. Here in MO it's gonna be the same soon, but for dairy goat's which isn't quite as fun for them.
Don’t know but thinking about the turkey poults, I imagine it was a lot warmer when the ones for Thanksgiving were mailed. Maybe one of those boxes was exposed to too much cold, (or coulda for sure been from a different hatchery)
Being from a farm that makes their own hay, I would never drop it on the ground in a pig pen. Half that hay will be wasted and driven into the mud. But I guess if you’re buying it, not a big deal. If your farm depends on its own hay harvest, it’s a huge deal.
I’m new to your channel and loving it! Please fill me in as to why Angel lives with the group she does and if hay is her only source of food. Take care!
Angel is a livestock guard dog. She protects against predators like foxes and coyotes. Sure had a double coat and I’d need to tolerate cold weather. We freed her a ration of dog food every day. Thanks for watching!
Do the pigs that are out in the open the ones that aren’t in the cattle barn have any shelter to get out of the snow or do they just get under the hay for shelter? I’m just asking. I am not asking this from a negative point of view.
You are right the snow looks beautiful especially around the creek. Pleased all is ok and the majority of animals survived,Take care you guys
Can’t believe that’s N.C. Looks like you guys and all the livestock is doing good. Keep the fire going Saundra will thank you.

The farm sure looked pretty with the snow ...
All them bacon bits looked happy & warm ..
Y'all have done a awesome job .
Stay Safe & God bless

Glad to see everyone is doing well! Great job! Stay warm!
Snow snow snow. Snow and then it rained to made a lot of the snow go away.
And then it usually freezes on top. Thanks for watching
Glad you didn't get more snow than you did. I got 11 inches in Candler NC and my hogs loved it and they have a shed to get in. Cold times but we'll survive.
Yeah y’all usually get quite a bit more than us. Our pigs are doing great in the able to. They love it.
Those piglets all bundled up in the hay is the neatest thing!! Great job on the preps you two. ❤🙏🏻
Glad your doing well. Great videos!! , Looks like another storm coming by weeks end.
And also we used to feed wet feed to our sows. They seemed to do better, and give more milk to the pigs. Blessings🙏🏻
Sooooo close to 28k! Woohoo! Stay safe!
Thanks Bud. Yep. Just about there.
Glad to see all the prep was fruitful. Looks beautiful. Stay warm as you can!!!! Prayers.
Thanks. We are trying for sure.

This was all off grid in the Okanogan mounts
Winter sometime we would get wheat from local grower exchange for pig and use 55 gal drum fill about half water with wheat then fill with water build small fire uder and let cook the wheat would soften and swell filling the barrel
Mostly fed ground corn and round barley 2 to 1 the fermented feed smell like brewery
Pig pen was 3 acres with natural spring feeding the small stream in middel that stayed wet and muddy
"Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them." +++ Ezekiel 38:7 +++ Great work brother.
Love the additional videos. You are both so fun to watch and learn from.
Thank you! Appreciate y’all watching
Great prep work with the snow storm and taking care of the animals, farm and workshop fire! Having a fire in workshop is a nice benefit. Congrats!
Thanks! Love having the fire to come inside to!
I'm glad to see things are going well and yes snow is pretty but sometimes once it melts it leaves a big mess. I loved Sandra's comment on the fire as always I will keep my fingers crossed and keep you in my prayers be blessed
Looks like Illinois! Hope all is well Chuck and Saundra!
Thanks. We are hanging in there. All the prep served us well.
@@SheratonParkFarms usually does.
We mostly got rain in North Alabama. Stay warm.
Glad all is well!
Thanks so much.
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
Appreciate y’all watching
Glad you guys are doing okay. Loved Saundra waving and smiling at the end. I don't know what it is about Saundra, but I just love her to pieces. :)
Summer days I’d be glad to let you have her. 🤣🤣. She’s a good one for sure.
I try to keep my pigs closer to an electric outlet in Jan and feb. I know not everyone can do that. Put a submersible heater in a nipple drinking barrel when it stays cold. Also I’ve been wetting the feed when I feed them. They seem to eat it easier that way. They don’t sling as much around like when it’s dry also
Looks like its going to be the winter pattern for a while... calling for more snow end of week...y'all take care and be safe !
Yeah. Been seeing that. We are ready for spring!
All the preps are really showing their fruits…. Well done!!
Thanks! Glad we took the time to get ready
Best pork I’ve ever had was what my sister raised on her goat dairy. We always kept pigs so we had a way to get rid of milk that didn’t pass the bacteria test at the co-op!
Yeah. Milk fed pork is great stuff.
@@SheratonParkFarms also apple fed pork tastes good
Good job
Thanks Todd!
So glad everyone is faring well! Soon it will be mudageddon 2022. Here in MO it's gonna be the same soon, but for dairy goat's which isn't quite as fun for them.
I know! 😩. I hate mud.
You have to put some shade on the pigs at the hill side
Good day to you! Love your videos!! Can’t you make a hut for the pigs?
We have a couple of huts we can deploy but they do exceptionally well with the hay and bedding .
@@SheratonParkFarms ok I am glad to hear! Great farm you have! God bless you!🙏🏼
Looks good
Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching
@@SheratonParkFarms ur welcome
Such a beautiful place!! Loved this video!! You ask where we come from.. we are in Hawaii on Oahu.
Don’t know but thinking about the turkey poults, I imagine it was a lot warmer when the ones for Thanksgiving were mailed. Maybe one of those boxes was exposed to too much cold, (or coulda for sure been from a different hatchery)
That’s a thought. Not sure what is going on with them. Talked to the Hatchery today and they are going to issue a refund.
Being from a farm that makes their own hay, I would never drop it on the ground in a pig pen. Half that hay will be wasted and driven into the mud. But I guess if you’re buying it, not a big deal. If your farm depends on its own hay harvest, it’s a huge deal.
Bring some shade into the piglets they are small to survie that cold weather hay has no use caused it will be cover with snow later

You have to bring the cow to the barn
Do the pigs that are out in the open the ones that aren’t in the cattle barn have any shelter to get out of the snow or do they just get under the hay for shelter? I’m just asking. I am not asking this from a negative point of view.
I had turkeys eating the wood chips and died a whole lot of them I saw some people using peat moss
Where’d you get the chickens
I can hear you better than normal.
Thanks. All I had was just the phone. No fancy microphones or anything. Worked pretty good.
I'd rather have snow and cold then all the mud we get .
I'm still wondering why you chose to keep piglets with little body fat out in the open hiding under hay and the more mature fat pigs under the shed.
Not looking forward to this coming weekend’s prediction.
Me neither. Looking kinda rough.
❤🐊🦅🇵🇷❤
It just winter time your going to lose a few as long as they refund.
