Update On Us Getting COWS!

Good morning guys, welcome to today and welcome to farm life and getting ready for winter in Ontario, Canada. Boys are out eating grass. Tigger is here in the morning. We opened up this area again so that they could come and get more grass. Because they have eaten down this area. They've eaten it all. Are you in heat? Is anybody in heat? I feel like she's in heat. So funny. I swear she said hello. I just saw Winston jump up and knock this tire down. I put this, yep, see, it's you, troublemaker. I put this tire up like this so he can't get out. Anyway, it's cold and I found one of the things that Sam bought, like we put everything away and we can never find it after, but I found this this morning. How big is that? I don't know, we're gonna get it up there though. Should we put it there or should we put it across that opening like we did last time? No, let's just use it for that. I like it better across the opening. I'll buy a wood still and put it there. Get it. So in the past, we have put plastic. Oh, hi, Cindy. We've put plastic along these walls so that the... Snow and the rain can't come in and get inside their feeders. But we've also put plastic across here and I like that way better because it stops the snow coming in. Oh hi baby. She just bit my coat. Oh these are the twins. Let's just start calling them the twins. Look at them. They're always together. This one's a little taller. I don't know if you guys can tell. Oh they look almost exactly the same. Oh my gosh. You're being attacked. Get it. It's Winston here. Let me help you. Winston, a pig. Oh, the pig is in heat. He's just a lover. I agree with Sophie. He is just a lover. He's so soft. Can't even believe it. For a boy, so soft. You're so soft. Whoa. Yeah, this would go. Everybody's going to get scared. Oh, we should put it across here. I'm telling you. It already is covered. If we put it across here, no snow will go in. Favorite thing we ever did was put plastic across this opening. This is a big one. You could probably drag it all the way to the other side even. To that door. Because look how big it is. I love it. They're all like, I'm getting out of here. My babies. Love them, man. This is huge. Like, look at this. It's not very, like the snow is still going to go in there though. Look, you can take it all the way down. I can only do as much as I can on this. Just wait. Pull it tighter. Pull it tighter. Or no. Oh, you have. Oh, okay. Yeah. I see what you're saying. I'm glad to have it. Even this is going to be, hopefully the wind doesn't take this off because it's really hard to come down. Hey, where are you doing? Cinderella? It's not for you to eat. Don't eat it. He always complains that you guys eat it. Don't eat it. That's a big open. That's not going to work. Keep guys thinking. Yeah, it's not going to last. Especially with it blowing in the wind like that. I wonder. So I come out here every morning. I'm not going to be able to. I didn't pull on it. Hi. Hi, princess. Like, I'd like to not even have to go out there. Oh, my gosh. You ate all that hay already? I'd rather, like, cut this down and come through this little area. I feel like I could fit. I'll show you. That's why I didn't want to put anything up yet. But, you know how that works. Snow is coming. I wanted to cut it off. Okay, so, look at this. If you cut this wood, like, see this wood? It comes out far past this post. I was going to cut it more than that. You should cut it. If you cut this post, I could probably fit through here. I'm going to cut here. Right here. Why? So I can get through there. I love that idea. And then try and close the other side off. So, you would have to move this pole, though. I don't know. all i know is that that's what's happening today on the day by day so do we have any more of these i'm sure we have more of these plastics the snow is just going to come I need to put a wood pin in here. This is like, gonna fall apart. it worked for us a couple years ago when we did it though so here's the other thing though that's going to cut down the wind coming in the barn in the winter too hi hi princess We're getting rid of the garage door. You think a garage door would go good there? Yeah that'll be great. To be honest though any little bit helps. Like they are okay without anything but every single little thing that you do extra makes it better for them. I know we have more plastic. I'm so excited. Another brand new one. You should put this on where the feeders are. Smaller. Because I'd rather not waste these. I know I bought a lot of these. Yeah that's That's a smaller one. They really didn't hold up I mean we used we the ones we used I think are in the garbage well yeah because they broke you should put that one on this door and just fixing the door man I'm impatient for stuff to get done because times a ticking it's getting cold like it's actually getting cold now to be continued he's gonna do more stuff but let's go look and see what else he did today because he wasn't working this morning Is it cold, babies? Are you cold? I know, they're all just looking at me. Like, it's so cold. This is how it works in a YouTube marriage, or at least in our marriage. I see things that need to get done, and then I say it on the video, and then when Sam puts the video on the computer and goes through it so that I can edit it, he prepares it for me. Then he sees it, and then he does it. So when I forget to tell him, then... It's okay because it's already done. So basically yesterday I wanted him to put plastic on here because this wind was blowing in like crazy and it's all plastic now. It's warm and cozy in here, but I want him to do that side too. So the chickens don't understand that they can come out yet. They get scared. Come on. You know you want to peck me. Come on, big guy. All just looking at me like, what? It's cozy in here. It's just as warm as in the coop. It's nice and warm. There's no wind. There's some straw you can dig through. Some dirt to find some worms. Come on out. He's the leader. Come on. I know that they will like it once they actually get out here. I like it. It's cozy. It's warm. Hopefully they're safe. He's right there at the edge. He's looking out. They want to come out. I just don't think this door is raccoon proof. And that's the thing, they'll come in the middle of the day if they think it's quiet and nobody's back here. I'm gonna have to get Sam to get me like a bungee cord and then something else because I don't want them hurt. The sky is looking dark and dreary but we had sun today, a little bit of sun and the goats, these, these, uh, hi Pat, I miss you girlfriend, I miss you, I'll come visit, okay? These have been blowing in the goat field, and the goats are eating them like potato chips. Look at that. It's insane. It's an absolute... Oh, my gosh, and the tree is, like, still full. Wow. I don't know if I'm supposed to tell this story, but my friend was telling me today that some cows, highland cows, came into her yard yesterday, and she went to get them out of her yard, and the bull turned around fast, I was like, oh my gosh, maybe I need to rethink cows. It's been a weird day, that's for sure. Come on, little porky. Come on in. Don't give the girls leaves. I don't like to give the girls when they're pregnant leaves. I can't believe it. Okay, well, I mean, they usually don't eat things if they're poisonous. Uh-oh, wrong way. Oh, he's such a good boy. Come on, over here. He's like, stop talking. I'm gonna fix your bed, you guys are so messy. Interesting story, Posey's in heat. She's a lot easier to tell when she's in heat. When Posey's in heat, she pushes her nose up against your leg. I don't know if she's trying to knock you over or what, but she gets really pushy with her nose and she just starts pushing up against you. The other way I can tell when Posey's in heat is that. She won't leave in the morning. She wants to stay with him. She cuddles up to him, lays down. Normally she just runs straight, oh yeah she looks like she's in heat, she just runs straight out like a shot. But when she's in heat she doesn't want to leave him. So this morning she didn't want to leave him. If only it was that easy with the goats. Probably all the goats are pregnant because every year They always show signs, the same kind of fertility signs that they show in their heat. They also, some of those are the same in pregnancy, so it can be hard to tell. But every day, I think someone looks like they're in heat, and we put them with the boy, and they're not in heat, so. With any luck, they're all bred, but I gotta make these pigs bed. For all I know, the pigs go in at night and say, oh my gosh, we spent hours making that bed, and now she just destroyed it. They were fighting over it. Fighting over an apple. I hate to say it, but winter is on its way. Hi, baby. Hi. I don't have any treats. Sophie didn't let me bring anything. Sophie says that Cinderella's face looks like a Dorito chip, and it kind of does. It's like the shape of a Dorito chip. She has, like, chubby cheeks and then a skinny face. Cindy, I waited for years for you, man. Yep. Some goats you keep because they look amazing. Okay, you got hay all over you. And some goats you keep because they have the best personality. And Sophie and I both agree. Winnie over there, the little gold girl right there, she's so sweet. She comes from, like, the worst lines. And she's just, but she's just the sweetest, most amazing temperament. She's such an amazing goat. She's a questionable mother, though. Would you agree? So, like, her mom. Like, if any of the other babies are scared, they'll go to her and she'll go out with them. Yeah, she's like a best friend. She's the best friend of everybody on this farm. Like, she's so sweet and nice. And her mom was insane with her babies. She didn't even let Winston out of his sight. Like, she took such good care of her babies. But Winnie, I don't know. We're going to see how it goes this year. She was a good mom. She fed her babies. Fed his best. She also didn't really spend a lot of time with them or... discipline them or train them to come to her or no she didn't even know where they were there were they were our feral babies on this farm. Anyway we went in when it was light and we're out when it's dark. Okay Anya oh Anya wants a friend. Teddy doesn't like her.
