So glad you checked when you did and were able to get them settled again!!!
Been there !
Thank you for making people aware before they may be in the situation
Good morning P! Did you ever have more than 1 rooster? If so, how does that work so they don't kill each other? We have @ 20 chickens and 2 roosters and we are so sad because we love them both . They are in 2 different barns but yesterday they wandered out after the snow storms and beat the hell out of each other. We feel so bad. My daughter got the younger one back in his barn but they are both a bloody mess. This is so had having all these animals to take care of sometimes. It can be very heart-breaking. Thanks.
🙂
Patara you are so right about being safe around these large animals. Some homesteader let their little children herd cattle with horns and a bull with horns. You can't be too safe. A bull will push you down and Gore you or crush your chest with his head..this is not a game. Love to you
Wise advice from a very wise lady . All the best Patara and thank you kindly for the awesome intel . Food Forest Permaculture
Great reminder. So glad you caught em up when you did. This kind of thing ALWAYS happens to me when I'm by myself!
You definitely have to be on your toes with farm animals. One bright and early morning I was working out in our garden and something told me to look up. I saw my neighbor from down the road walking our 400 lb hog up our drive. He busted out of the fencing overnight. I panicked because our 3 year old at the time was out in the yard playing. I grabbed one of my gardening buckets and some rocks from the drive and started shaking it like I would their feed bucket. She helped me walk him 600 ft to their pen. Boy was I thanking God that nothing bad happened. I was able to get him in his pen with no problems. Build your Homesteading network, they are precious and helpful folks.
Last night we had an adventure about that same time in the rain. Large oak tree came down and we had to work it to clear our road. It’s the only way in or out and needs to be clear in the event of an emergency. Every day is a new adventure here on the plateau.
Adding a ps.
My husbands take away lesson is to always have a spare chainsaw bar with a new chain ready for emergencies. Smart fellow!
Good save! It's always an adventure!! Keeps us homestead momma's on our toes .
Definitely rethinking large farm critters!
Man that's some serious mud!!!
Yes, animals get out! I’ll never forget my mother’s words (#^*€#%|) when the pigs rooted up her garden!
Thanks for taking the time to film this Patara…now that's getting it real. Thank you for showing that we need to take care around those huge animals (even the smaller rams and goats …don't keep your back to them); you've showed us how sweet Miss Bell is and we can't put them into "pet" status ever. Loved this video even in the dark 🙂
Those darn dramatic goats………..:)
Patara you must be so cold in all that rain I hope you can get in the house and get into a hot shower or tub , 🙂
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Patara, this was probably one of the most important videos you've done. When I lived in NC and my horses got out (twice) it was so urgent, so tempting to just chase 'em down. My neighbors (who'd all had horses way longer than me) coaxed them back down to my place with coffee cans full of sweet feed; but the Thoroughbred mare gave me her gift – she looked at me, standing there like a fool at the end of the cul-de-sac and came trotting over to me, tossing her head, like "yeah, girl, I'll give ya' this one" so I could get a head stall on her. SHE decided to give me that gentleness, but a dozen other big animals I'd know never would've.
Howdy
When did you cut your hair?!
I would just like to THANK YOU for producing more videos recently for your YouTube viewers! Tim @ Cliffside Acres
God bless for what you do
Yep, been there done that with our steers, just my son and I and loose one…with us, we've noticed they always look for the way back in, so we "chase" them from behind and sides while someone watches the entrance while still keeping out of the way and we always get them back in. Luckily, since getting some new fencing, we haven't had that happen again. Now when your farmer husband leaves the gate open while watering them and the same one gets out time and time again…that's on him, haha!
