Farm and ranch life in southern Alberta including working horses, range cattle, rodeo, Thoroughbred horses, chuckwagon racing, threshing machines, binders, steam tractors, growing up on a farm or ranch from youngster to adult.
I am an artist in Montana, and I am currently developing a few paintings from old black and white photos of threshing and other farming activities I've found in antiques shops. Your video contains a wealth of knowledge for the paintings I am going to do. Thank you for preserving and sharing these old ways.
Ces courses avec le c h u c k w a g o n ,seraient l'équivalent de nos jours aux poids lourd, avec un certain nombre de chevaux dans le moteur.( fictif), mais vous au Canada, vous avez eu la bonne idée de continuer la course de chariots avec les chevaux (animaux) pour montrer comme c'était autrefois, cette course pourrait rappeler les couses de char de la Rome antique même au temps des pharaons avec des préparations similaires aux vôtres aujourd'hui. étant photographe amateur, j'aurais bien envie de venir vous voir dans votre pays pour faire des photos et peut -être une expo pour glorifier votre s t a m p e d e de Calgary, je manque de finances pour le voyage, et si vous pouviez me trouer une bonne famille qu'il-y-ait un échange, et avoir un boitier N i k o n codage D X D 7500 optique 12 - 24, 100 - 400 vous ne le regretterez pas. ( pour le matériel, une sacoche) p e r i c l e s 32410 Si vous acceptez réellement
@@FarmBoy-1950 J'aimerais venir, mais je n'ai pas de finances, et comme je fais de la photo en amateur, (N i k o n codage D X avoir un D 500 si je peux avoir le J p e g dessus, ainsi que les cartes mémoire avec lecteur qui va avec, que je pisse le brancher sur un a s s u s portable:avec 2 objectifs 14 -24 et un 100 - 400 avec la sacoche pour les porter. S'il n'est pas possible d'avoir un D 5OO, avoir un D 7500 et suivant s'il ne se fait plus. D'avance je vous en remercie Félicitations pour votre pays d'avoir eu une médaille à Paris ( jeux olympiques ). p e r i c l e s 32410
Dad told me this! He was ridding with his brother, pushing a go devil on a John Deere A. They slid the go devil under a shock of wheat. The shock started rattling loud enough you could hear it over the A John Deere at an idle. Dad was born in 1923. Passed in 2018.
They had wanted to thresh again this past fall but it was too dry and the crop was so short they wouldn't have had decent bundles. If we get more rain maybe they will this coming fall. Hope this answers your question...
I grew up on a small family dairy farm. We used tractors, but the techniques were like farming around the WW-2 era in the United States. Self-powered hay baler (and old New Holland baler with a Wisconsin engine), no self loaders for hay. Yes, we used milking machines, but they were applied manually. It was a good way to be a child, learning to be independent, working with your hands, working in nature.
I am sure it depended upon who was running the threshing machine. If it was someone who knew how to set it correctly it wouldn't have been any worse than a combine that was set properly, and vice versa; if not set properly it would have thrown grain over like an improperly set combine. Hope this helps.
We used to thresh oats with threshing machines. My father in law taught me to use used motor oil for belt dressing. Use sparingly and let it soak in before giving it a load. It works great and is not hard on the belt like belt dressing. It's good for the belt. Former Amish man.
Great video and equally great still photos. I’ve always wanted to visit Alberta, see the Oilers play in Edmonton (Let’s go Oilers!) see the Calgary Stampede, get to know some ranchers there, and maybe see some Bighorn sheep. Thank you for sharing. Well done! 🍻
Watching from Wales , I’m 73 this year born farming and it’s great to see my grandads way of life ,only horses on the farm and I had the benefit of living this way
When I was younger there was a steam engine just sitting in the field and I asked my buddy what is up with that. He said grandpa and the neighbors brought the feed to the engine not the engine to the feed
Not a lot of corn grown in Southern Alberta Bruce. Our neighbour grew some to winter graze but only one year. Not sure if anyone bales the corn stocks but we do bale wheat, barley and oat straw.
What a very informative, and well put together video. Everyone involved needs to be congratulated and thanked for their time and effort in getting the machines in running order, and then putting on the demonstrations.
Yes, Robin and J. R. sure put a lot of time and effort into preserving this earlier, and very important stage of agriculture in western North America. Thank you for your praise and we hope to put out an entire series this spring, summer and fall from putting in the seed to harvesting with the Redings' horse drawn equipment.
Difícil um trabalhando no pesado,,, e uma equipe de parasitas dos democratas tramando em como tirar mais ainda desses que derramam suor nas lavouras e outros trabalhos
aussie 1970s after i left schoool i probably did one last big sheep droves 2,500 head on a 17.5 horse the sheep go in every broken fence & railway line the pay was crap but it was ok till i went to the city got some history down young big homestead also tractor driving etc
Pan Bóg dał człowiekowi rozum żeby go używał,możesz używać Twój rozum ażeby pracować na ziemi z koñmi które ciągną twoje maszyny,dlaczego nie używasz Twego rozumu ażeby oracować używając traktor lub kombajn,miałbyś lżejszą pracę i więcej czasu dla Twoj Rodziny i Boga na modlitwę,nie rozumię.Na bardzo małej farmie miało by to sam's,ale na dużej więcej ciężkiej pracy,utrzymać stado koni tylko poto aby mieć zwierzęta pociągowe strasznie dużo pracy
Hi I am Barry McLaughlin from Manitoba and I have been looking for some stookloaders as I am going back in to farming with horses as I did when I farmed with my dad years ago, would you be able to point me in the right direction thankyou Barry
Hi Barry: I myself wouldn't be of much help although Robin and J. R. do have one older version they are not using right now. You should be able to find something much closer, though one would think, since they were built there.
When I was a kid I asked my dad what those were. his dad had one in 29 I think he said grampa payed 200. for and worked it until 1936 we still have it sitting on the farm
Hi from uk this is the best vid ive seen in awhile regarding farm machinery amazing i was a sheep n cattle farmer north england but find crop stuff very intresting a lot different to the 'welkers ' 😂👍👍👍 my father was the generation that used horses for everything....
Thank you Carol and Dave. I know the time of working horses was my father's favourite time as well. He could name all the horse's stalls in the big home place barn....
