Terino the steer jersey cows aren’t for meat to get more meat in exchange for more hay try an angus! Your farm is nice especially for one acre!!!!

in next video talk about how much cost to get your chickens and sheep. where to get them. how to look after them..whats it like to be your own butcher?

Grew up on a Maine 300 acre farm and own one now. Really appreciate, respect how much you can do on just an acre. 208×208 can be very productive as you point out!

With sheep it is more important to move its grazing as they are prone to parasitic infection, and I quote. “If a sheep could die twice, it would.”

I saw a podcast of a farmer that would sweep a flock of chickens through his garden to eliminate pests. I thought that was a very cool idea.

is it normal for some breeds first feathers to come in with the wrong colors and/or markings?

TheTruthoverlies September 13, 2011 at 10:39 pm

excellent video

I like that you dont name your live stock. Other then its right full name food. it bothers me when people name what there going to eat. I could not see my self naming my cow daisy and come fall eating her. its just not right.

Really love your farm. All of your animals sure look healthy. Many processed foods are so loaded with chemicals and unhealthy to eat. One of the best ways to fight back at healthcare costs is to eat healthy to stay healthy. Going to the grocery store for everything we eat is a big waste of money for many things that are not that healthy for us to eat. Thanks for posting your video. My dad grew up on a farm and we had a really great garden when I was a young boy. Congrats on your farm!

1. Make chickens suffer needlessly.
2. ??????
3. Profit!

What kind of profit do you think there is in keeping chicken combined like that? Do they lay on meet better when stressed? Do they get there own free food from nature? Do they avoid diseases and avoid losses due to higher disease rates … oh yeah, suffering isn’t a magic profit box, they do it because it has some advantage.

jumar1281 September 13, 2011 at 11:53 pm

@opcn18

you’re ignorance is beyond reason. the reason chickens are kept in those hell houses is to MAXIMIZE PROFITS. they need to get as many chickens as possible onto a tiny peice of land, overcrowding and lack of space to roam free is what makes factory farmed poultry that much more prone to getting sick, which is the reason they are pumped full of antibiotics. the only person with backward thinking here is you

i would buy chicken from this man any day of the week over factory farmed

@TheBgcheez Oh yes, there is a lot of bacteria there, but it’s not just a matter of bacteria count, it is also a matter of what kinds of bacteria there are. They medicate the feed to keep down the Coccidia (protozoan) and bacterial counts but keeping them isolated from wild birds is a big part of keeping them safe. The birds would gain weight just as fast in a shed with open walls that other birds could fly into, it’s absolutely about keeping exposure down.

TheBgcheez September 14, 2011 at 1:21 am

@opcn18 – omg this is the stupidest comment I’ve ever read on youtube. The reason chickens are kept in pitch black hell houses is to do nothing but fatten them for slaughter. There is so much bacteria in those places. You need to watch the documentary on hulu on where your food comes from.

@Podchef I had replied but I guess it didn’t show.

I have studied avian influenza pretty extensively and could tell you all about the attachment to type II pneumocytes in the lower respiratory tract and galactos receptors and the like. I’ve also read a few dozen articles on flu epidemelogy over the last few years.

The flocks are often healthy enough to fight off the disease and survive, that only lengthens the window of exposure and makes it more dangerous for you, not less.

@flipthenuts ur a fuckwit seriously, are you like 12 or what? grow up cockhead!

buckstarchaser September 14, 2011 at 3:50 am

Urine contains salt. Not so good for a garden. Cats tend to piss in potted plants. The plants tend to die shortly after.

ccoasterdesigner September 14, 2011 at 4:06 am

You could save your pee in a bottle (so you could still pee inside) then pour it on your heap! It helps it out tremendosly!

porchgrower September 14, 2011 at 4:23 am

i love peeing outside people have done it for thousands of years before their was ever johns

melonybrannon September 14, 2011 at 5:06 am

So you are saying I shouldn’t stop my son from peeing in the yard, I should tell him if he wants to pee outside aim at my compost/worm pile?!

porchgrower September 14, 2011 at 5:59 am

peeing on the compost adds nitrogen and kick starts microoganisms plus saves on flushing one thing you commented on in another vid
