A vlog documenting daily farm life and winter preparations. The narrator shares updates on her animals, including pregnant goats and chickens, while her husband, Sam, builds a removable doggie door and weather-proofing structures for the barn to keep the livestock warm during the winter.
Good morning guys. Welcome to today's video.
You know what's weird? It's weird when you wake up in
the morning and your husband's missing.
No. What's weird is when you come outside and your husband is
missing. Some animal came, knocked our pumpkin off the step,
and was eating inside of it. I'm
gonna have to take that down to the goats, but it's gross.
I spied him. I spied him and the truck.
So let's go see what's happening in the hood.
It's actually glorious outside.
Like so nice.
Hi babies.
Oh, you locked them in.
The pig and the goats are all locked in.
They hate it.
All right, what is happening?
Come in.
Time to get busy.
Oh, this is exciting.
So what are you working on?
Right there.
What?
I'm doing the doggie door.
It's beautiful.
Beautiful.
It's so nice.
He's making it so he can take it off
in the summer because obviously we don't
need it in the summer this is winterizing. So what happens is that
when especially when we have babies
and we have to leave the door open for them
to go inside we should build them a shelter outside.
It makes it really cold
in the barn. So he that's what
he's doing he's he's doing it yeah
so like winter winter storm doors or something put hinges on it
and then open it up for the summer
i'm excited to see are you guys excited to see what's this over here
that's for over there that's for over there
so the plastic has stayed up oh you guys are
making it messy yeah i make a door sized exit instead
of like a giant exit i get it
I love it.
Here comes Lola running as fast as she can.
Oh my gosh.
Imagine that.
I'm fat.
Oh, I felt her today and she's got babies.
That's for sure.
You got it, Lola.
Look at that.
She's got two months left
and she looks like that.
She's the leader though.
See how everybody goes to her.
They're like, Lola, save us.
There's noise.
Goats are very, very interested.
They're very nosy.
Wow. Cricket doesn't even look pregnant.
Actually, maybe. Poor Lola. I watch her in the
morning. I watch her try and climb up on the stand in her stall.
And she's like almost to
the point where she can't climb up on that stall.
They're looking. They're like, what's that noise?
Here comes again. I don't know. All of our goats are chubby.
Either they're getting too much.
Which I don't know how they are.
They're not getting any more than they did in the summer.
That's not true.
In the summer they got more grass.
Now they're getting more hay.
Maybe I need to cut back.
Because they're still able to eat the grass.
I'm excited to see how this all ends.
I'll bring you guys back and show you.
But look at this.
This is hilarious.
This is how much that one chicken that we have.
This is how much she relates to being a goat.
She can get out of there.
Like, literally, there's a big enough space for her to climb right out.
What's that feed pan in there for?
Oh, that's how you bring them in? You trick them with grain?
I thought maybe I had lost one.
Hi. I know, you're locked in.
Look, they got a shelter.
They got a play thing. This is big enough.
We could just put all of our boys in here every day if we wanted to.
They could live in here, have food, water, hay.
Why are we... Oh, because in the winter it's not as good.
She's so funny.
Do you think yours is a goat? Or a pig?
Is he your best friend? Is he your best friend? Look at how cute.
Dash thinks Oreo is his best friend
but Oreo does not think that Dash is his best friend.
My friend.
I do really love this and I've always thought like
is if we ever needed an extra field,
like a small field for something, we could always use it.
Like we could put babies out here.
When we're weaning them we could totally
put babies out here during the day.
I actually love the idea of that.
But comment below, if you had this exact area,
what would you do with it?
What would you do with it?
We use it, the boys use it as an extension of their little field.
And then they, we use it to lock them in when we need to.
Gosh,
Nico's the only good boy.
He's the king of the castle.
It's getting there. I can't wait. Okay. Call me.
Call me on the phone. I'll come down when it's
time. Okay. I don't know if he'll finish it today
because he has an appointment to change his tires
into winter tires. I brought some snacks for you.
I need to get you fresh water. Ouch. Chill. I have
to open this door.
So we have three hens and we're getting an egg a day.
Here, let me go get you guys
I got some fresh water, get out of my way.
Go. Always keep your eye on the rooster.
So we have three hens and we're getting an egg a day
and that's like how it is with chickens.
That's why people have so many chickens
because it's all cleaned out.
Not all breeds lay every single day. That's why
commercial nursery or that's why commercial egg people,
hatcheries, have
Leghorns. Oh no it's raining. Anyway Sam just called me.
He's done. I can't wait to see what
he did. My love language is acts of service.
So always makes me so happy when he's doing
something exciting. I can't believe it's raining.
Wow. I love it. It's so good. Yeah it's raining.
I love it. You're gonna get like little strips
and put them in between the
yeah yeah you could even oh yeah that's cool
so i haven't got that yet so what will you
oh so the door will just stay like that yeah
and then the summertime i'll just take this off and
so you can climb in like that and then
at night we just lock them in you could even make that smaller
probably but it's good i like it frame frame
this yeah that's a good idea once i get the other one
Looks beautiful.
Good job, Sam!
I love it. It's perfect for winter.
Perfect. We might even be able to put
plastic across there and like put it strips
so that they can go in and out
and the snow doesn't go in. Yeah.
Love it. Good job. I love it.
Do you want me to help you put the wood in the barn?
Sure since it's raining but
yeah there's a lask. Look at it.
Didn't know he had it in him you guys. That's
amazing. Just the stuff
in the truck. Heavy.
So that's
for
tomorrow
job
because
he has
to go
get his
tires
done, but
there's a
problem
It's not a lot, I could probably use the other one.
Even if we got like nets or something like oh
Yeah, a little bit sad.
Yeah, all right. So look at this problem that we're having
with the babies. We're having a problem with the babies
Oh in the baby stall,
so every day we give them hay to eat
Can't get another bigger one, might need the other one though.
the one the other one i have out there is wider
so this is too not wide enough so the you guys
have seen the babies jump in there and they eat
and we've actually seen them pee in it so then
all the hay that's left over is like pooped
and peed on and it's just dumb so we want to get
something that we can cover this where's
the other one, do you want me to go get it? No, so the ones I'm going to
I'm going to do out there, the wall.
Oh so I asked Sam if he could get me...
Something to put on top so that they can't jump in.
They're gonna be shook. They're not gonna be happy
They're gonna have to stand down here like regular goat goats and eat
Yeah, they'll be on here.
Oh, they will for sure be on there
I think I can get a bigger one.
So in the winter like
when it starts getting cold we close this off it's not time
It's not time to eat. Look at how chubby you are.
You're a baby. Actually babies are chubby, I guess
You don't need to eat anymore.
Lola's like, what do you mean we don't need to eat anymore?
We always need to eat.
That's your granddaughter.
You just, that's your granddaughter.
Everybody's confused.
They're like, what are we doing here?
It's warm out still.
Everybody's good.
You can go play.
Go play.
But they're loving that thing, I betcha.
But anyway, what I was saying is that in the winter,
when they're outside, we just close that.
We can even close this to try and
to try and keep the wind down. I love it.
Let's go see what it looks like from inside. The wood
on the outside of that part will help keep it warmer in here.
Looks good. I love it. There's
so many jobs that I want Sam to do every day.
I basically just have to wait for him to feel
adventurous which is okay because it's the same for me.
I don't do anything unless I feel adventurous.
So also that is going to look like that.
It's going to look like that over there too.
He's going to do the same thing over there.
But what he's doing over there,
you guys know how that opening is huge
and lets in like a lot of snow.
He's going to, he's going to build it out more
with this wood.
I love it.
I love like dark wood and light wood.
Yeah, but he's going to build it out
so that it's just a small area
we have to block off from the snow.
Oh my gosh.
One snuck out. They snuck out.
I wasn't even letting them out yet and they just pushed the gate open.
Look. Ghosts are so curious. They're like, what?
They're so funny.
Miko's the boss. Oh, they like it.
No, they like it. Wow, it smells.
They're smelling it. They're licking it.
They're gonna chew it.
Don't wreck it. It took forever for him to do this for me.
For you guys. Yep, they're gonna wreck it.
Look how cozy the barn is, you guys.
It's so cozy.
It's dark out.
It's only like quarter to five.
Wow, what the?
It's because it rained today.
Like it's been kind of dark.
Let there be light.
I've been coming out every night at this time of the day
to check and see if anybody's cold.
Like this horse, she'll get cold.
She has gotten cold before.
Hi, babe.
This one, why do you smell like a skunk?
She's been eating weeds.
Hi.
Hi, handsome.
How are you doing?
Hey, you look fuzzy.
So fuzzy.
Are you cold?
It's not really like below freezing or anything yet,
and they still come in at night.
So, you want one more treat?
Here, kiss me.
Look, kiss me.
Kiss,
kiss.
He's not getting it.
There you go.
Oh, Penny.
Did you hear me say kiss me?
She heard me say kiss.
You say kiss?
That always makes me laugh.
I know you're not cold.
Especially when it rains, I always worry.
She's going to pee.
Right there, I bet you.
Penny just went out the door to follow me.
There you go.
I think one of yours fell, Gracie.
She fills up the whole doorway.
All the way to the top.
Alright, well you guys look good.
Alright, everybody looks good.
Nobody looks cold.
Come here, Penn. I've got one more for you.
Don't be mean to that baby.
You're not supposed to be out there eating weeds, you know.
That's why you're on this side.
To keep your weight down.
Which is sad because his best friend is Gracie
and her best friend is Penny.
All right, nobody needs a blanket on tonight or at least not right now.
In this weather, I like to check a couple times a day.
Wow, I guess this door is meant to be open.
I wonder why he wants it open.
I bet he brought hay in there and then forgot it.
Because if they ever broke through that gate,
the only thing, that door is the only thing stopping
those horses from getting out.
Getting out into the not fenced in area, but listen to that.
I really got to go check the goats now because it is quiet.
That's as quiet as it's ever been on this farm. What the heck?
Don't you know that you're beautiful?
