I've been a subscriber for years and never really leave comments. it seems like ppl are starting to just be negative just for kicks, but I want to say thank you for sharing your life. You are a jack of all trades and truly live an interesting life. please don't allow the negative ppl to ruin your desire to share with you. Have a happy holiday season. Much love from Kansas!!
@@Cyclops1983 I don't think that anyone pays attention to those stupid negative comments, because the real true fans of these great videos know better. We are lucky to share Joe and Melissa's life together with them! They work hard and we get the benefits of their dreams through watching them live their's!!!! Thank you! 👍😊
Hello great videos love watching your videos.... Have you thought about getting some treated 4×4 to make runners to put your hay on top of them... Do 2- 4×4×16' and put runners under the 4×4s that will keep the hay dry on the bottom.....
I'm from a small town, but it's still a town. I could never keep up with you. Especially now that I'm old. Now I'm just tired. So tired, I was re-tired. I really admire you and Melissa, and wish you all the best. Thanks for all the fun and informative videos.
The next video, which I think will be a shorter video, I am out in the shop working with aromatic cedar. Stay tuned, I will start editing that video tonight.
Hey Joe! Just a thought. It would probably be a lot easier and less time consuming to just go to the store and buy a gallon of milk! Pretty sure you won't get crap all over your clothes either!
Many thanks for your videos. I live in the north of Scotland so I can relate to a lot of the issues you have with preparing for winter. I know your videos add to your work so I wanted you to know that they are appreciated.
God says work is a mans reward...a blessing what you and Melissa do all the way around 😔 ♥️♥️♥️♥️🤠👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanks ...BB from somewhere in Louisiana USA 🤠
Joe , you definitely have your hands full. I sure hope that little calf makes ie through this critical time in its life. Pneumonia is easy for a little one to get. Take care Stay warm. 😊
Winter on us , too bad u can’t have big pole barn to put all your stuff out of the weather. Knowing u it’ll happen . So nice to see your herd growing. Thanks for the videos Joe
Glad you are having fun with the new calf, don't think I'd like diaper duty on him like he was my child. Thanks for sharing with us anyway Joe, glad you were able to laugh about it too. Glad you got your wood hauled in also , that will give you something to do this winter in all the spare time you will have. Stay safe and you and Melissa keep up the fun you have around there. Fred.
Joe you should never feel alone while you're on your tractor with those eyes looking back at you.... Every time you're on it I see those eyes looking back at you from the hood.... Good video
And another one the same size coming, too. It takes a lot of wood to make it through a Minnesota winter. Especially when it's heating multiple buildings.
Good day. Been watching you for years. You never slow down. There are several place’s in your shop where a open channel is present. I’ve seen other channels that have done dry cementing. Fill the channel with bag mix and spray it several times over about 8-10 hours. Works great and can do anytime.
Yay! A Joe and Company Marathon! I love work too, Joe. I could sit and watch you work all day 😉Also, did I miss saying goodbye to the Turkeys? You guys are getting so much done. Your place is really coming along.
I Know I'm not suppose to say this , but All the Box Stores have converer rollelrs on wheels that would bring it to the furnace, yor working so hard some help is a blessing...
When I was a kid in Louisiana, Daddy used to buy day old calves from the college dairy. I spent many an hour feeding that thing with a bucket with a nipple on it. It eventually went into our compartment at the locker plant.
Joe I'm waiting to see what you venture into next there at the Farmstead? I mean there's twenty-four hours in a day and you have to have at least five hours leftover out of a whole day now you could be busy doing something. I have never watched a video that didn't impress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the effort and work you put in behind the scene's! Still waiting on a collage with a language warning for the youngsters of course of the bloopers. I know all your viewers would have a good laugh. We're all human and everyone of us has done it more than once. Again Thanks for the great content!
Hi Jim!!! I actually have 3 or 4 more dead trees I have to take down, trying to figure out how to do it and avoiding them coming down on the power lines is all that has held me back from dropping them. Once I get them down, it would be greatly appreciated getting you back up here to grind them out. You should text me sometime, I lost everyone's number when I got a new phone.
About time to take down the blind next to where the trucks were parked. Maybe replace it if needed. Last winter your dad had the gun case project. Does he have a project for this winter? So basically Melissa whats a cow. If it poops in a truck, let be hers.
No projects that I have heard of yet. They are getting their furnace and central air replaced at their house right now. 12 grand was the cheapest of 3 bids.
@@NorthernSeclusion That sounds like a ridiculously high price. I haven't priced a new one out in years, so that may be the current pricing. It could be location driven pricing as I am in Missouri.
You know most people as they get older and have raised their kids do things to make life easier and alittle slower pace. Not Joe! But ya know the more I think about it the more I think it’s a good thing. Maybe we shouldn’t slow down. And even though it’s more work he’s doing things he enjoys and that’s a good thing.
When you are raising your kids, life is busy because of the kids but "life" is going slower because the things you want to do you do not have the time or money for. Once the kids flee the nest it is time to get back to what you love doing. Sitting on the couch is not one of them for me. We do not own any gaming thingy or any games at all. I see that as a total waste of time. To each their own of course, as long as you are not telling me what you think I should do, I will not be telling anyone else what I think they should be doing. I will keep running until I cant anymore. Lol. Right now I just came in because my lower back is screaming and my hernia surgery area is telling me to take a 30 minute break before I go milk the cow and feed the calf. I decided I would check the comments during this 30 minutes.
Just me, but I think it would be better to place the round bales in the feeder like you have them stored. That way the grass sheds water like a thatch roof and it doesn’t go down into the bale
Now that it has snowed out and is cold, they are blowing through a bale in a week, I have nothing to worry about until 6 months from now when the snow turns back to rain.
A TH-camr I watch is Country View Acres and he built a roof to go over the bale of hay to help keep it dry. Yesterday I had to run to town and get diesel fuel for my tractor and been thinking about getting a tank so I don't have to haul 5 gallon cans. But need one for gasoline as well.
Busy day ! Some folks might be bothered with the little fellah and all that goes with him but it’s all about real life perspective in my opinion. Like deer hunting in a sense. And baby crap is the worse everrrrr !! 😂
Your fuel there is very cheap Joe hear in Australia its 2dollars a litre so 4 times that and half cost us a gallon i know you showed the calf in the back seat in a post on facebook i think That road to the dary looks like a road in Australia country road that cute little bull calf
I have a Question do you ever drive those Chevy pickups anymore there starting to show the MN winter color of Rust hopefully they still run well for you
I was talking about Melissa trucks is the others Brandon's saw you drive Melissa at the end of the video I know you drive the ford's I am a Ford person myself I just purchased a new to me Ford escape yesterday yesterday 3:59
Another great video. Long time subscriber and only comment a little. Mostly poison ivy and wood tick stuff that i deal with in my part on Minnesota. I would love to see Joe drink about 10 beers and go off on the people who leave dumb ass comments.
procrastination was the worst,but then guess th,but now gaming maybe has beaten those, except in a way gaming is procrastinating!! Just playing, putting off what needs to be done!!
I my next video, which I will start editing tonight, I ask for name suggestions. I do not believe you have commented in awhile, it is nice seeing you in the comments.
We rarely buy rib eye steaks anymore, they got too expensive, instead we bought cows so next year we will have our own. Most of our veggies are stuff we grew and canned.
I have done in one night all that wood in one night would not tell people too do it but have done it, the whole works of it, one night, 30 feet or more flame high and safely tamed it be for when I went too sleep, not what you should do, wind, dryness Ect....ore don't do It! Unless you know what your doing!!!... I've done it a long time....
She tried, over and over asking me if she wanted her to pack some stuff for me. I said "no thank you, I like going and getting food when I get a hotel."
a big ramp and a double door into that old mobil home would be a nice storage unit for your quads, garden tractors, SxS, chainsaws, log splitter etc, all out of the weather, then you could park cars and trucks in the garage👍
Oh please, wtf kind of comment is this? Hahaha. If you saw where that calf came from, you would think that second part of the coop (no chickens are in that part) is like a surgical bay. Lol.
You should have stopped at a store and brought the calve into the store. When they tell you, you can't bring it in tell yhem it is your emotional support calve
wish I could spell it, wouldn't It be nice to have a conveyer shoot from your lumber too the furnace and not have to bend over? Sorry just babbling. Thumbs Up!!!...
Not true. In fact the opposite. Im talking humans. I have experience in that area. Breast fed bowel movement is almost completely odorless and very firm. If you saw different, your baby was having problems digesting the milk.
, 4 breast babies here. I agree completely. I was blown over when they started eating meat at around 13 months, now that's some nuclear waste smells right there, lol. @queenbee3647

Have to admit…my favorite Joe vids are when he’s making stuff in the shop! Winter is “shop season!”
Yes, me too! Especially with wood. He can do anything
The next video, which I think will be a shorter video, I am out in the shop working with aromatic cedar. Stay tuned, I will start editing that video tonight.
Thanks Joe! Your channel is always great!
Still the hardest working man on TH-cam!
Hey Joe, you and Melissa have a way with animals that’s why they love y’all. Just look at what you do in a day, Blessings! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯
It’s so cute I’m praying he gets through the first part of his little life. I know you guys will treat it like a baby, I would.
Hey Joe! Just a thought. It would probably be a lot easier and less time consuming to just go to the store and buy a gallon of milk! Pretty sure you won't get crap all over your clothes either!
Never ending work on the homestead. Hope y’all had a Happy Thanksgiving Joe!

Love the little calf and I say a good name is Hank after the Hank Miller character on Gunsmoke which you love to watch lol Great video today. Thanks
Joe , you definitely have your hands full. I sure hope that little calf makes ie through this critical time in its life. Pneumonia is easy for a little one to get. Take care Stay warm. 😊
Happy to see you back in the shop. That and The Tent are my favorite's .
You dropped that bale spot on. You are great. Keep up the great work you and Melissa
Really enjoyed watching 👍👍
Nice to see you doing some wloodworking.

Holy crap. Lots of challenges to juggle in this vid. Damn busy up there!
Good luck with that cute little calf
Good to see you joe hardest working dude around, man that tractor has sure been great for your farmstead.

Holy crap Joe, you're never gonna get to relax anymore. What's next... goats to milk for cheese? Something to think about, lol.😄
Life on the farm, with Joe and Melissa.
Joe, you should name that new baby "Half and Half" because thats what he looks like! Cute little guy, wish you good luck with him!
Great video! Love the new calf! He's so cute! That's a one a big a load of wood! Wow!
And another one the same size coming, too. It takes a lot of wood to make it through a Minnesota winter. Especially when it's heating multiple buildings.

Time to give the baby calf a name!!

As soon as I feel like carrying 10 more bags of concrete into the workshop I will do that. So far every time I ask myself the answer has been no. Lol.

Once I get them down, it would be greatly appreciated getting you back up here to grind them out. You should text me sometime, I lost everyone's number when I got a new phone.
@ Joe, I have your old number and sent you a text.
I can also help to get those trees on the ground.
Next summer you need to build a cover for the round bale feeder.
I wish you would make cutting boards. I would definitely buy one or more.
That is on my list of things I want to build. Maybe by next year at this time I will have time to do them.
I’ll take one or two
Noticed your stack of battery banks in the corner. You could power a small city with all that 😂
Hahaha....well played Joe!
You need a firer starter sponsor. 😊
About time to take down the blind next to where the trucks were parked. Maybe replace it if needed.
Last winter your dad had the gun case project. Does he have a project for this winter?
So basically Melissa whats a cow. If it poops in a truck, let be hers.
almost a 4 hour drive and no mess at all in the truck. We had tarps and blankets down just in case but it wouldn't have been needed.

I am not sure yet, it has been mid January cold for a week and when it is that cold, the smoke dissipates fast.

Both are Fords and the black one gets used in the winter. I have not used the tan one in awhile.

Joe
You ever considered putting a snow plow on your black truck.
Have you guys decided to make some smoked cheese? Would your new smoker?
Still working on cheese, smoked cheese can happen later. Yes I would use the smoker I built because that does the cold smoking.
Have you ever considered getting a slip tank instead of using a bunch of gas containers?

Such a sweet lil' calf!! Are you taking suggestions for a name? I vote for Rufus.
There's already a YT channel with a bull named Rufus
@@dano616 I wasn't aware! I will have to search him out.
I my next video, which I will start editing tonight, I ask for name suggestions. I do not believe you have commented in awhile, it is nice seeing you in the comments.
37:19 it's been 3.27 a gallon where I live, for the past week to 10 days.
Wow. Still paying $2.69. I'm preparing to pay a lot more for a lot of things come January 20th. Oh well, onward and upward.
@user-bo1rj2xu2s hasn't been that low in years
Ever think of doing some hunting on your property there?
Curious, How much does it cost? If I was up there I would pay it with no problem, just curious?...
How much does what cost? That load of wood? 1,440.00. The bull calf? 160.00.
so, are the turkeys livestock or now pets? You can't kill the one that followed you around last summer. that turkey was a hoot.
I’m wondering what your monthly grocery bill is a month? Lol You guys eat really good!😊
We rarely buy rib eye steaks anymore, they got too expensive, instead we bought cows so next year we will have our own. Most of our veggies are stuff we grew and canned.
Haha...Poor Joe! Brandon's never going to leave home!!
He is so cute. Your poor black truck it use to be so nice .Minnesota salt just eats vehicles alive. So what is his name?
For someone who had a hernia you are probably overdoing it with moving those logs. Ya trying to injured yourself
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Moving an entire Tree by hand is just not smart!
Why did they take the calves from there mom
They are strictly milk cows. No time to leave it with its mother, there is money to be made.
I have done in one night all that wood in one night would not tell people too do it but have done it, the whole works of it, one night, 30 feet or more flame high and safely tamed it be for when I went too sleep, not what you should do, wind, dryness Ect....ore don't do It! Unless you know what your doing!!!... I've done it a long time....
I say name the calf ..... Maximus.

I believe they are planning on tearing it down.
Please clean the poop off the door...thank you.
I tried, it is like it is glued on there. I will need to wait until it is not freezing out (in 6 months) and pressure wash it.
