Are we Having Fun Yet/ Converting Neglected Horse Property into a family farm 

With the mineral/salt block, it's better just on the ground than in that container because when it rains, the container it's in is going to hold water and dissolve it. I just kept mine on the ground out in the open and they did fine. Just make sure they always have one available. Glad you got the mineral instead of just the salt. :)

What a great help Randy is.. Nice to see Father in law and son in law getting along so well.....

Instead of Chicken Soup for the Soul, It's CHICKEN POOP FOR THE SOIL! HA HA Great Job Guys, so much Joy here!

I love that you are learning all this new stuff and sharing with us. It's fun to watch you and your father in law having fun together too...

There’s something about a running chicken 🐓. They are SO cute!!!

The way you have your salt block is fine . Put some holes in the pan so rain does not pool up

I anxiously await blogs from you guys these days! I’m so excited with all you have going on at the new homestead! Love it! Make a stand with a cover to mount the salt block. It won’t last long how your doing it…talk to Ben Holler he just recently mounted his on his cow shelter/stanchion. Blessings💖🙏

I cant get enough of watching you guys even if its watching yous cut down trees...😊

Do yourself a favor and buy some Truefuel for your chain saw. With a small 2 stroke engine you will have no carburetor repairs and your fuel lines will not get eaten up from the ethanol in gasoline. I was in landscape maintenance for 43 years and once I started using Truefuel my repairs on small engines almost went away. Love watching. Good luck with the new property! Bob

Gooooood Morning Bernice

My 11 month old son loves watching your videos with me. We look forward to your family’s videos! Congratulations again on the new place. You guys are doing amazing!

So glad to see the chaps and protective gear when downing trees.. all it takes is one second mistake..

Great job getting the trees down, and saw fixed. The food Lorraine prepared looked fantastic. Would love a video of making the corn tortillas. Have a Blessed day. BTW Happy to see you have the chaps on while using the chain saw. Better safe than sorry.

I love the new property. And the pigs. Zeek is so darn cute. The shot of him talking to you was priceless

Love your honesty and humility. This channel is in my top 5 favorites!

💛 I'm always bummed when your videos end. You're a great vlogger and editor.

real chainsaw for every homesteader is a must, and never only have 1, always have backup

Salt block should be under cover. That pan you put it in should have drainage too because, yes, the rain can dissolve the block (not just salt but many minerals are water soluble).

Those beefy boys are so sweet! Elvira is so stinking adorable. Makes me want to consider kune kune.

Never a dull moment on the homestead. That is beautiful wood that was cut down. It is wonderful to see the progress you have already made making this land your home. 3 years from now you won't recognize the way it was. It will be loved again.

What I love best about your videos is you do a great job editing and packing it all into a video usually under 15 minutes… Great job and appreciate the hard work you, Lorraine and your daughter put in to give us great content .... interesting, knowledgeable and entertaining. Great job and keep up the good work 👨‍🌾🧑‍🌾🐄🐖🐓

The feed store should have a salt block holder, which keeps the salt out of the dirt but has drainage slots to let the rain drain off. There are also feeders that rotate with the wind, have a 'roof' to keep loose mineral salt dry - look online for mineral feeders.

Before I even watch, had to say I lol at expression on Jason's face in the thumbnail! A picture is worth a thousand words! 😂

It is wonderful to see the progress you have already made and you and Lorraine are getting to terms with all the animals and relaxed by them. I am so glad that you are settling down. Have a nice day.

Jason needs to borrow Justin Rhodes tractor and airradar to soften up the land where the soil is compacted.

Your two steers are so sweet!!

Jason you and your family are doing such a great job getting your new place up and running. Not sure how you are going to butcher your pigs, they are adorable. I pray you get a sponsor for a nice 4x4 farm Utility vehicle, you deserve it as your You Tube channel is a pleasure to watch. Love the sound of the cows eating the grass. Delicious look meal Lorraine. Take care all.

So happy for all of you! Soon you need a tractor too! And a greenhouse!

Just went from never having live stock to 4 beefs 12 hens and 100 meat birds 👀 such a great life to live isn’t it?

Jason, I can't help but thinking that you could make some sort of cool wood art out of thin-sliced wood rounds from those trees you just cut down. I love all your wood art. :)

Jason, it's amazing how much your farm as already grown. You have a wonderful family and I love your channel. 👍🥰🌻🌱🌞

I’m enjoying watching you guys build your new homestead. Nothing more satisfying that removing the nuances trees. It makes so much difference.

The worst areas of your horse pasture are probably suffering from compaction even more than fertilization. A deeply spaded broad fork - on a damp day - with out actually turning the soil will really help. I second the motions for covering that salt block to protect it from rain.

Awww it is fun seeing you make progress in so many areas on your new farm. I love that you are enjoying your beefy boys so much. Randy is such a big help to you. Hope the saw keeps working. 💖

You seems happier and more content with everything in your new location. Wish yu and family the best progress.

I'm lovin the new property... and journey going forward...love this channel

I love watching your videos too because your not afraid to say “I don’t know if this is going to work, but we’ll see.” I think a lot of us get overwhelmed with not having the knowledge and skills yet and are afraid to just try something.

Your homestead is looking good guy's,you seem so much more comfortable now

I love how you all work together and share what you have. Jason, you need a small vehicle to get you around your property and to haul stuff. I’m sure it’s on your “wish list”. I love that you’re realistic, but positive ❤

Hi.... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐄🐖🌱🌺🌹🌿🌻🌼🌸🍀🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍

Randy was knocking those trees out!👏🏻👏🏻

I have always put my salt/ mineral blocks on the ground. Mr. Randy did a great job with the saw.

1/2 way to freezer camp :) lol I'm loving your new farm- it's beautiful.

“Man it’s raining now, I just got out here.” LOL, I say that almost daily here in the Pacific Northwest.

We're definitely having fun watching you too. 😃 What a great present that pole pruner is! Bless whoever bought it for you. That's what I'm hankering for right now. 😁

I love your new farm and the animals! Great video, thank you for sharing!

Randy, you look like a pro with the chain saw. Keep up the good work.

Yep, time for a legit chain saw. You guys have really been working hard on your new place. Looks great! Maybe your pastures need to be aerated. They look awfully packed down. Sewing w/a pasture mix would help also. Horses decimate pasture ground in a hurry.

Always nice to have fun when working

Your new homestay land is wonderful

I'm loving your new homestead I'm so happy for y'all 🥰💐

I just want to say that this is my favorite homesteader channel. Thanks for what you do!

Your farm is such a blessing. I am happy for you.

You guys are such a pleasure to watch. And your father in law is so nice and smart too. We have horses and we keep their salt and mineral blocks covered either just inside the barn entrance or by other means in the pasture. It will last longer if it is not rained on and not sitting in a pan that holds water! ❤❤😊😊🐓🐓🐓Love your old barn! That is going to be the centerpiece of your farm! Enjoy!!!😊

I’d love a ‘how to’ on how you make your corn tortillas 🙂

Salt lick....oh how I miss those....we had horses and they loved them.

Haha! I bought a legit chainsaw but then was too nervous to use it. Then got a battery one which I used for the next year! Now I’m fully confident with the legit one - so much quicker and easier 😄

thanks jason for showing Fuzzy Nuggan. it's my Favorite and they others are to . I Love all the Animals

It's so good to see your dreams coming together great work all much love and admiration.

Good job with the chainsaws, the barn looks better already. And I'm glad you got good safety gear on! Thanks for sharing!🤗

Do you have a wish list that members can help you with purchasing the stuff you need to grow your new farm?

Such beautiful property 🥰🥰🥰

Those Red broilers are getting huge!

With a non-functioning chain saw, you can always go old school and use an ax (plus a hand saw if needed), just like the first homesteaders.

I been raising beef cattle for 30 years and you can leave that salt block in that container without a cover unless you are having hard rains

That's too bad that the battery powered chainsaw just stopped working! Nice video guys. I really enjoyed watching it. Those trees coming off the back side of that barn was wonderful to watch.

We had to give up our farm animals a few years ago for an amazing job opportunity. But we have new land now. Starting from scratch! Can’t wait to be able to get back to having animals. Especially kune kune.

Pigs with feathers LOL Good one Jason.

You guys are doing a great job! Keep pressing forward. The Lord is blessing you :) Much love, from Michigan

My mom always used to say that, "Are we having fun yet?!" Had to click so fast. Wonderful update.

So happy you still upload to RU-vid…my A+ doesn’t always update and I don’t get any of the new stuff… Do you have a link for your wagon?? We’ll be needing one this summer. Y’all’s new property looks sooo nice btw!

I was on a bus trip to see the ark and creation museum last week and we stopped at the John Deere Pavilon, I saw your hat!!!!

Lorraine your food always looks so good girl! Yum!

Starting to look really nice guys. Keep up the hard work.

The new farm is a work in progress.

I too, anxiously await your vlogs these days! Exciting stuff. I love how your father-in-law loves to help. And can I just say....HOMEMADE TORTILLAS!

Thank You for taking such good care of your animals Jason.

I'm glad you have good help

Jason you are doing just fine.

I don’t know if I was not so observant before or if you have gotten a new camera but the quality of the picture is really good now! It will be fun to watch what you do with your new place in high definition!

Slowly getting there and starting to look really good!!

Its so nice to see good things happening to good people. you did everything right, made good decisions and it paid off! my husband and I lived frugally, didn't overspend and were able to pay off our home. two years later we bought our retirement home. which will soon be paid for as well, we need to sell the first house first. its so nice to face our future without a lot of debt, our cars are well maintained and paid for too. not many people our age can say the same thing. (67 & 59) its so worth it! you guys aren't out there having a bunch more kids etc. congratulations!

Looking Aweasom. Things are going great!

Looking good 👍🏻

You guys are doing great 👍❤️♥️❤️

It is just a blessing to watch so little and I am so grateful that God bless you and your family and especially father-in-law Randy and mother-in-law I can't wait till y'all live there for three or four years the property is so beautiful I can't wait till you set up shop for your woodwork and your Butchery and teach me in the world Grace and peace

Hi doing good work at the homestead xx 😍 Well done xxx

Good move, Jason. I was glad to see those trees by the shed go. Dewalt was never the top of the line. The previous owner should have taken them down long ago but then what do horse people know. I would have put the salt block in a wooden box, not plastic. But no, you do not need to cover your salt block. As that other guy says, 1% improvement every day.

Garlic and salt.... Just what I like on (in?) my steak!

So happy to see this vlog, it had been a few days and I was missing seeing y'all.

Hello from your neighbor a little to the north in KY! The new place really is great and everything you’re doing is going to add such fertility back to the land!

A lot of work to convert. At least that's what we're finding out. You guys are lucky. The former horse people at our property even tore down the perfectly good old barn....... Dang it!

Funny, WIth all the gear you were wearing, looked like a lumberjack about to cut down a forest!

Great stuff Jason!

Your doing great Jason, things are looking good!

when I had horses I just left it in a container and made sure there were a couple of holes to let the water out

It's salt, salt melts if rained on, maybe not all but some depending on how hard it rains.

You're life's so cute.😀

Best music for the task! You are doing so well making progress. I love your new homestead

Just found you guys, so watching videos to catch up. So satisfying to watch from my city apartment while I bide my time until I can afford to buy some land of my own.
