35°C HEATWAVE at the Rescue Farm! 🥵 Morning Feed Before 300 Hay Bales Arrive

Mark and Tara here and welcome to the Ten Acre Woods. You can hear the kids in the background crying because they hear us coming out to feed. So this weekend is going to be a heat wave. It is, I think it's about 25. Where'd she go? She went over there. I think it's about 25 degrees right now. It's like 9 a.m. and okay she's just closing a gate. What we do is we have the animals go into the dog run to be able to trim it, mow it. We've never mowed it before. That's the animal's job for that. And Tara will mow this side. So anyway it is, yeah it's supposed to be 35 degrees tomorrow and 35 on Monday. That's without humidity so it's probably going to get over 40 degrees with the humidity. So beautiful but it's going to be warm. Hot. We also have hay coming tomorrow. Yeah. So a good thing 9 a.m. so it's before the major heat and that's 300 bales of hay and that's going to go down into the barn down there. So we're kind of taking it easy on projects this weekend just to kind of get ready for the moving of the hay. Our son Braxton and his partner Braden have now moved into the house. So last Friday they took possession. So we've been over there. I've been doing some plumbing and I've been doing some work over there and helping them out. There's still a bunch that needs to get done but Braden's parents are there this weekend so they live, what is it, six, five, six hours away. So they're coming into for the first look at the property. Tara was over there mowing and she had her chainsaw over there. She's cleaning the wood chipper. She just went over and did a bunch of landscaping over there. So Tuesday, if you watch last week's video, there is a really a large tree that is very close to the house. So on Tuesday there's an arborist that's coming out to knock that tree down. So because he's got like a crew of three and he's got a tractor that's coming in, what we're going to do is I want to get a time lapse camera down there to kind of show the time lapse of that that's coming down. And we'll tag Yeah, I know he sounds like a great guy and he loves to climb, loves to climb trees. So anyway, we're going to get started on feeding. Let's start with ponies. Good morning kids. Oh, did you get to mowing this? You mowed it yesterday, right? Yeah, yesterday was a day for you to do your own yard. Okay, so we're gonna unlock this here and where are the little ones? The little ones have been going out. So that looks like Shorty over there and JD is just coming around the bend. So Shorty's doing pretty good. He's got a still got a little bit of a limp, but I think that's pretty much just kind of old age. Oh, what are you two doing? Come on, Shorty. He is fast. Well, yeah, he's fast. He's fast. Yeah, just hard to get around these days, isn't it, buddy? But you're making it out there, which is great. A lot of flies. We're gonna have to get that fly spray out. Yeah, lots of flies. Hey, well, they can be little brats. Where's Stanley? Stanley? Stanley's my new friend. Okay. He's a chipmunk. He comes out every morning, but he's not here. He eats with Shorty. He's got a weird tail. It's like, it's not half tailed Dale. It's not half a tail, but it goes into a weird little Did you find Stanley? Somebody new is here. So maybe he's shy. Stanley. Stanley. Oh, there's Stanley. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's because I'm here. He's shy. There he is. He doesn't know. Oh, hi Stanley. What's that guy and what's he got? Yeah, what is that? He's usually within, you get within like, and he's in the bowls. All right, well, we'll leave Stanley the chipmunk and let him get his feed as well. It's a different one. Yeah, we have quite a few chipmunks around. Stanley's put in enough effort to come close enough that he got a name. Well, and he has a distinguished mark that you can actually identify him. See, there goes another one. What's that one? Who's that one? Stella? Stanley and Stella. So every Thursday, Tara goes into the city and picks up supplies that are donated. So these are, they're perfectly fine, but they're nearing expiration. That's arugula. Arugula. I was trying to get them. They were a little hesitant. It's a little more bitter, but then I was like, oh, it's like dandelions. Well, the thing is, dandelions are bitter. What we eat isn't necessarily how it tastes to the animals. Yeah. Because the animals eat a lot of stuff that, you know, we wouldn't eat. So yeah, this might be bitter to us, but their tasting, I would imagine, is different because they love this stuff. Maybe it tastes like candy to them, right? Dandelions are very similar. Yeah, exactly. And dandelions can be very bitter, but they like those broad leaves. Yes, I have eaten dandelions and they are bitter. Yeah, you have to cook them. You can make like dandelion noodles and apparently they're really good for you, but they don't taste so good. Well, dandelions are like a detox. Let me guess. Turbo. Turbo. Just wait for it. You too, George. Oh, that's not George's willow. It's hard to tell with the haircut. And then Tinker. Of course, Tinker's wanting to come in. Arugula. Nice salad for the kids. And then a buffet of grains. Yeah, they eat pretty good. So yeah, we got all this arugula. Tons of it. And then we've got some romaine lettuce, is it? And then bananas. A whole bunch of bananas. Yeah, they're all pears. Yeah, those are all pears. And pears and kiwi and little cucumbers. So they're all set. That's Tinker's. No bowl on the floor. I'm missing a bowl. Okay, here we go. No, wait. There we go. Okay. She just knows what the routine is. So she wasn't first in line, but the other ones were confused because it's not their routine. And everybody has a preference in what they like. And you can see the goats that don't have their heads down. This isn't their preference. They want the hay. They want the dry stuff. But the geese, yeah, they love the greens. Hi. What is it? Are you waiting for hay? Are you? Oh, what are you two doing? A little bit of fighting at the... That's Jazz and that's Moana. Boy goats are, well, they're entertaining. It's fixed or not fixed, intact. But they just do weird things. So these are the two brothers, Joey and Jazz. And they're just, he's just goofy, aren't you? Like, what are they doing? Like, are you tenderizing it? What is that? No wonder why they get it all over. Tenderize this. Tenderize the arugula. All right, we'll let you be. All good, Tinker? Oh, George. Round two. Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, it goes right to it. The other two were over there running around chasing a chipmunk, it looks like. I don't know what they're doing. Barry, nobody for breakfast this morning with you? No, I'm sure they'll come around. Okay, away from the gate, kids. Nope, he's staying in here. They're like, well, there's food to be had over there. Oh, somebody's phoning. That's, oh, that's for me. Oh, all right, I'm back. I had a work call on a Saturday. There's a problem with some information for a job, which is all sorted now. So nothing's really changed. The animals here have their grains and they have their greens. I imagine Tara did the grains for the others while I was on the phone. And Onyx, did you get your food? She's still in here. From the way she's acting, I'm thinking, no, she didn't get it yet. Well, quiet. You can't tell the others. They're just going to come in now. Maybe what we'll do. See, Tucker. No, Tucker, Tucker, Tucker, Tucker. No, you stay out. Let's close the gate. No, no, no, no. Let's close the gate. I believe this is the way Tiana does it. She closes the gate so that she doesn't have to deal with Tucker. What are you waiting for? You're waiting for hay? Hey, did you give Onyx? Yeah. Okay. So I closed her in and Tucker's now locked out because I was talking to Onyx and she informed me that no, and then she yelled. And then of course I heard Tucker yell back and I'm like, okay, now she gave it away. So good. All right. All right. Onyx here, you can eat in peace. There you go. Yeah. I believe this is the way Tiana does it. It just, it makes more sense. You just close the door. Are you still trying to get in? Yeah. Oh, both of you. No, Onyx is having, no, you're not going to jump. Again, boys, boys will be boys, right? And these two hang out all the time together. So Nestor, Nestor's mother was a Dorper. So we kind of think that maybe that's one of the reasons because it, because, because he looks like his mom. You're not going to jump. It looks like you're trying to jump. Onyx, are you done? Are you done? The boys want in. Yeah. Yeah. You're done. You're just licking the bowl. Okay. All right. Hang on, Tucker. Just wait. Hang on. Back up. Sheep don't back. They don't back up too well. Okay. There. Okay. Now what? Now? Yeah. Now you're in. There's something you wanted specifically. Just looking to see what's going on. Yeah. He sees the bowl, the empty bowl. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's already happened. He missed it. Turbo. What? Hey, what are you doing? Playing with my tripod? Okay. This is done. And this is done. No, there's nothing. Yes. You lift a bowl up. Let's put it in there for now. Okay. Coming out to the animals here. I saw something the other day that when I'm driving in the driveway, I saw all the goats over here and in the middle, what did I see? I saw a Muscovy duck. Hello. Good morning. Yes. Breathing heavy. It's hot day, isn't it? You have some eggs. Oh, there you go. You're going to show us. Okay. All right. So, well, I don't. Okay. Well, she says I'm up. I'm going to go eat now. So there we go. A cute little container because they're contained. So if this hatching works out, what we are definitely going to do is we're going to put them in the nursery over there. We thought mom could take care of them. And Muscovy's are no Tucker. Those are eggs. Going into the building, she went into the building, but then the fox got in and took them all out. We're going to take a little bit more care. You go and do your eating. Get your feed on. And then go back and sit on your eggs. Speaking of eggs, the ones underneath the lighthouse. I don't know if those are going to be good or not. Let's go over and have a look at that. So it's been two or three weeks where we took a look at this, the underneath the lighthouse. We had eggs and it doesn't look like, it doesn't look like it. No, there's a lot fewer. There's only two eggs there now. I don't know where the other eggs went. Maybe she dumped them, but it was just, there was a smell coming out and we were, yeah, no, it's not, not going to work. So she was just getting in underneath the lighthouse right here. Perfect little spot, but she just didn't maintain it. So yeah. Okay. So Tara just came out and brought the hay. The final step in the feeding. That is obviously a big hit around here. Turbo. Oh boy. Bronwyn. Oh man. Turbo. Hey, just get away from the door. Just get away from the door. There she is. Oh boys. See certain animals just have certain preferences. It's like, yeah, that green stuff. I like the dry course hay. Crunchies. Crunchies. It's like your mama. We have George and we have Turbo. Oh, Turbo's like, oh, I'm going to go over here and sample this. Comes from the same bale, buddy. Comes from the same bale. Oh, Charlie. Oh, that's banana. Oh boy. The other ones are preoccupied. They don't know what's going on. Yeah. This door we've got to, we've got to fix. Yeah. It's not much to, yeah, just one screw in the bottom. We took this door off and we're cleaning out the barn. Uh oh. Uh oh. What's going on here? Leave the door open a crack. I would fix it, but my drills are all in back and forth. So yeah, it's just a screw down here. Yeah. Well, next time. Oh, there's Stanley. Oh, look at the cheeks. Right. You see how his tail's different? Like a white. Oh yeah. He doesn't usually run away. Well, he's just cleaning up all the, all the extras. All right. Okay, JD, you're out. Go and hide his, his gatherings. And Shorty is just out getting some broad leaves. Watch your head. There you go. And they're out in the field for the day. Well, field, eh, forest. And that is it for this video. So I hope you enjoyed it. It was a quick little feed. It's going to be hot today. We have hay tomorrow. So we want to make sure that we are cool and calm and get some stuff done inside and kind of relax a little bit because we never tend to relax. We're usually always on the go. Well, Anyway, that is it for this video. Hope you enjoyed it. Love to hear from you. Put that down in the comment section. And if you like this video, give it that thumbs up, take care, and we'll see you next time. Bye.
