We love raising animals for a variety of reasons but inevitably they will get sick and need treatment. Being ready to act could be the difference between life and death so preparedness is key. ⭐ CORID: https://amzn.to/3fxHsIe **Amazon affiliate link.

On top of food, water, and shelter, providing for their medical and nutritional needs is also important. We like to keep a variety of medicines and minerals on hand so that we can readily treat some of the most common ailments our herd and flock will face. Spending time with our animals daily ensures that we’re aware of their condition and if we notice there’s a problem we can act before it gets too bad. If you have livestock then eventually you will have “deadstock” and there’s no way to avoid that. As farmers, ranchers, and homesteaders we will make mistakes but it’s important to learn from them to prevent the same thing from happening in the future. I think we can also learn from the mistakes of others which is my hope in sharing this with you all. - Subscribe to our channel!

The beef steers left us an awful mess in the barn stall and I’ve put it off for long enough. The difference is amazing and we saved some money in the garden, too.

At the end of that adventure we put some delicious beef in the freezer but we were also left with an incredible mess. I refused to address this during the heat of the summer but with fall here and winter fast approaching I can’t put it off any longer – it’s time to get this barn clean. Over the course of several days our family worked to scoop the floor and clean the walls so that our dairy goat herd and our livestock guardian dog, Virgil, will have a nice, warm, dry place to shelter this winter. During this process we realized that we accidentally deep litter composted this stall; nearly everything we scooped was ready to be added to our garden. It was not our intention to do this (and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend doing it yourself) but in the end we did save quite a bit of money on dirt as we work to get our whole garden ready for next spring. Coming up real soon we’ll be expanding the feed room/milking parlor for our dairy goats as kidding season kicks off in just a few short weeks! We also hope to fill our freezer with fresh venison as deer season comes around here in Kentucky. We hope you’ll join us on our future adventures!

Drought conditions in Kentucky are becoming severe and we are feeling it here on our farm. Our pastures are looking especially bad and our pond has all but dried up. We’re going to make the best of an unfortunate circumstance by trimming back some of the overgrown trees around the pond. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead Our little pond is almost dry. It’s a shame but thankfully at the moment we’re not watering any livestock (or fish) out of it. We decided it was a great chance to trim some of the trees that are hanging over the water, limiting access as well as our view. I’m using a Homelite 240 chainsaw to do the trimming. Right now this is my best running little saw – at least it was until about halfway through filming. It is frustrating but when you use old equipment there will always be moments when things need to be worked on. Thanks for hanging out with our family today!

"Am I the drama? I don' think I'm the drama... Maybe I am." Has one of your critters ever done this to you? We looked out the window this morning to find our herd sire, Benji, slumped over and not moving. We sprinted out the door, hollering and calling his name to see if he would stir before we could get into the pasture. We were certain he was gone. It wasn’t until Megan grabbed his collar to see if he would stand that he sprang up, wondering what all the commotion was about. We’d fallen victim to the dreaded “death nap”, where a goat is sleeping so hard that they appear to be dead. Goats are notorious for finding new and exciting ways to die. We’re already stressed enough about it, it would do us some good if they would stop pretending and take one extra worry off our plate. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead - Subscribe to our channel!

My heart has been heavy since a predator came under the fence and attacked one of our roosters. It’s time we clean up some of our overgrown fence rows and talk about how we deal with some of the sadder moments in life. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead John 14:1-4: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.” When Jesus was speaking with his disciples during what would later become known as the Last Supper there were heavier things on their minds than some country boy losing his chicken to a neighborhood dog attack. Still, if we are told not to despair even in the most trying of times what business do I have getting hurt or angry in a moment such as this? Losing an animal – even one as small as a chicken – is heartbreaking to us. Just because these animals aren’t “pets” it still hurts when they leave. We can use that feeling to push ourselves to provide a better, safer, healthier home for our animals. We can also use this as a chance to refocus on what is most important – that God loved the world so much he sent his only Son to suffer and die on our behalf. Thank you for watching this video!

I’ve been cyber bullied in the comments section for not using my old Ford tractor as it was intended to be used but I think I’ve learned that my problems may not run quite as deep as I originally anticipated. More on that to come in a future video – in the meantime the kids and I spend time together getting some work done around the homestead. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead Homesteads don’t NEED a tractor. You can farm without an ATV or a side-by-side, a pickup truck, or a nice trailer, too. But I tend to think of these things as a force multiplier; they allow you to get more work done in the finite amount of hours available each day. And since time is money the investment you have to make in whatever equipment you’re looking at will likely pay off in a short amount of time. We’ve owned this old Ford tractor for two years now and I still haven’t spent the time needed to get it running where I can use it as a tractor. It fires up quick and runs like a champ, but with a non-functioning hydraulic lift there’s not much tractor work that this tractor can do. The other day, however, my father-in-law and I were hanging out and while we were piddling around shooting the breeze I figured out that my lift problems may be a simpler fix than I originally thought. Thanks for spending time with us today! If you haven’t subscribed to the channel please consider doing so, it would mean a lot to us. See y’all soon! On a related, sad note, this will be the last video where our rooster, Mark, hangs out with us as he was attacked by a predator the day after this video was recorded. I talked a little about that in one of our community posts but we’re all a little heartbroken to lose one of our nicest, friendliest chickens.

This may have worked out for the best, however, because it allowed us to have a little success growing plants without being overwhelmed keeping up with a decent-sized homestead garden for the first time.

The results from our timber stand improvement project. We used the hack and squirt technique as a method of killing the standing tree instead of cutting the tree down. By reducing undesired trees in our woods we allow more sunlight to the forest floor which improves wildlife habitat and also benefitting other native trees like oaks and black walnut. ⭐️ Tordon RTU: https://amzn.to/3H7ZMj5 **Amazon affiliate link.

These tree species are not marketable timber and offer little benefit to our native wildlife. Using the hack and squirt technique allows us to remove these undesired tree species so that other trees, like oaks and walnuts, may thrive. ★ Tree and Brush Management & Timber Stand Improvement (TSI): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiBilDABA650oANRRL9SSQ0EjhjG2vSYo Select a herbicide based on the tree species you are targeting. We used Tordon RTU, which you can purchase at the Amazon Affiliate link above. Always read the label and follow all necessary safety precautions. Strike the tree (hack) about one inch below the bark, into the cambium layer of the tree, and then apply the herbicide (squirt) into this fresh wound. By applying the herbicide in this way the tree will be terminated without felling it, thereby saving many man hours. 0:00 TSI Basics 3:40 How to mark “keeper” trees 4:08 Why TSI 5:37 H&S vs. Girdle vs. Stump Treat After a year or two, once these trees have begun to decay, we’ll fell them and throw them in the burn pile. Thinning the trees will promote better plant growth on the forest floor which is better for wildlife, and it will allow us to make necessary repairs to our livestock fencing.

It shouldn’t surprise me but some people’s audacity really blows my mind. Before I get into what’s grinding my gears today the family and I do some morning goat chores here on the farm. 🔔 Subscribe for more from the farm! https://www.youtube.com/c/GWPHomestead?sub_confirmation=1 ➡️ Shop our Amazon Storefront for farm essentials and our favorite odds and ends: https://amazon.com/shop/gwphomestead Recently we had an Instagram Reel go viral and everybody (or at least every third person, it feels like) thinks they know better than me. Now don’t get me wrong I’m all for constructive criticism but automatically assuming you know better than someone else is generally the wrong reaction. We are changing up how we’re feeding hay this winter because the price of hay has increased so much that round bales, even with the additional hassle, are the better option. They’re a hassle for us to deal with because we don’t have the equipment that one really needs to handle them. I have a small tractor (with no bale spear), a small trailer, and a herd of small animals that don’t consume a lot of hay. Still at basically half the cost of square bales it’s what will get our herd through the coming winter. But when I had to resort to something “unconventional” (I’ll admit it was foolhardy, but I wouldn’t say it was stupid or irresponsible) to move one of these big bales of hay everybody on the internet thought they knew better than me. And while I don’t take it personally I do get frustrated as to why someone would just assume someone else is too dumb to know better. The good thing is Megan and I have had several good laughs about the matter and the engagement has really bumped up our Instagram following, which is something that every content creator wants to have. Don’t let some random person’s grumpiness get you down – they don’t know you or what you’re about, and just because they feel compelled to smart off on the internet doesn’t mean it should ruin your day.
