Unexpected Piglets, Loading Hogs, and a Trip to the Processor
My favorite thing about farming is the way of life it brings to my family. I may not be able to farm full time, but the rewards are still amazing. Our small scale farm provides a sense of satisfaction and joy that is difficult to find outside of one’s faith. Not just for me, but for my family. Whatever you do, I hope that you find your “why” in life, even if it’s not life on a farm. I hope you find that something in your life that farming is to me. Thanks for watching.

Prove Me Wrong: Farming Is The Most Rewarding Lifestyle In The World
My Cows have had all their calves in the fall up till now, but a mistake on my part has made things dangerous for the health of my herd. The first calf of 2025 for our small-scale farm was born in the snow and he likely won’t be the last of the winter. I’m going to have to change my cattle breeding plan to make sure next calving season isn’t, potentially, so hazardous. Come along as I discuss my plans while ear tagging and banding this young bull calf.

My son helps me with chores with a winter ice storm on the way to our small farm. My son is also learning how to drive the Farmall Cub tractor at only 9 years old.
