Today Jim is sharing a bit about backing up draft horses... specifically with a wagon and a cart! It is easier said than done! We also wanted to share some updates around the farm and check in on the pigs, cows, & the sawmill!
Watch our videos to learn about draft horses- horse logging, horse farming, and horse training! Jim uses Belgian, Percheron, and Suffolk horses to do work on the farm and in the woods. He teaches about harnesses, horse-drawn logging and farming equipment, horse feeding and maintenance, and voice commands for horses. New videos uploaded every week. Keep watching to see how Jim trains his new Suffolk Punch colts as he has trained his full-grown teams!

Good video! Yes, please, do some sawmill videos! It's soothing and relaxing to see you and William working. Thanks for sharing about William's horses, they are beautiful!

@henrybunker2922 7 месяцев назад

Sound is very good even with the wind.

@1947maco 7 месяцев назад

Yes sir as a former trk driver that has backed up singles & double trailers I can appreciate the expertise & he done it with horses !! That was truly amazing & the skill level is astounding!! I thought he was actually gonna back in most of the way then as he said push it back by hand....He played us for he had FULL intention of not doing it by hand.."WELL DONE & PLAYED JIM"

@terrykirkby2667 7 месяцев назад

Doing a great job all round. Since you have William working with you and Brenda, it seems you are showing more and more. Keep it up Jim and thank you for showing your working days.

@conradmorin1891 7 месяцев назад

Jim, Brenda & William, I always enjoy your videos. Also glad to see William feeling more comfortable around you and the camera. He is a fine young man, and seems to be a good, respectable, hard working employee, who takes instructions well, and is very good around the horses. I hope to see more of William. Wishing you all a pleasant day.

@Deanna-k4i 7 месяцев назад

Jim was just showing off how well trained and responsive his team's are including Brenda & William Skippy still a work in progress 👏 😊

@dondohm8664 6 месяцев назад

I have my doubts with Skippy? I was with you the day you went to Skippys parents home and his mother was running around the horses just like Skippy. If one of the horses would give him a kick (but not to hard) it might cure him? At any rate I really like seeing what Skippys up to now!

@frankdrahos8569 7 месяцев назад

Good afternoon to all at WHWJ. Having personally backed up wagons with steering front ends with tractors for years, I can attest to how challenging that was with the team! My father was the best I ever saw at doing it. Thanks for sharing your experience.

@CarolHawkins-i8q 7 месяцев назад

Brenda, I am rather curious what you prepare for these fellows for dinner (the noon meal). As a very busy farm wife, do you use a crackpot or instant? I am always interested to know about regional foods and hearty meals. As a former farm kid, I remember what my mom and I used to cook. But times have changed. To answer Jim's question, yes, I enjoy seeing the sawmill work and will watch whatever he shares. A good day to you, Jim, and William. 😊😊😊

Watching that backing up of the wagon, I was sitting here, trying to figure out what direction the horses needed to go to get the wagon in, and whatever I would think, “oh, they need to ‘gee’ now” Jim would yell “ha”!

@davemccracken3457 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoy the mix of the things you do, logging, farming, farm chores, and sawmill work. The past few months have been somewhat deficient in sawmill work, so it's good to see it.

@laurie5431 7 месяцев назад

Hi all! Love all the videos, no matter what the content. Brenda there was a previous post about what you eat for lunch during the day. I know how busy you are with feeding, brushing, helping with the farm work and filming, but if possible would you please share some of your cooking/baking videos again? Have a blessed day 😊

The philosophy using the sawmill is always interesting. Especially flat sawn vs quarter sawn.

@PeterDowd-r9b 7 месяцев назад

Jim what a great demonstration of backing the wagon attached to your 2 wheeled cart. Which takes a steady team like Ken and Lady and a skilled teamster like yourself It' takes a lot of practice and time to accomplish the task. Brenda is doing a wonderful job grooming the horses and feeding the stock. It's wonderful to watch William fitting in so well on the farm and sawmill .

@annsaenz291 7 месяцев назад

Love this video Jim..what ever you and Brenda film is great to see your life on a farm. Skippy is doing better with the cows as was not barking at them while they were eating. God bless you Jim Brenda and William as stay safe in those strong winds.🙏❤️❤️❤️

@michaeldarby3503 7 месяцев назад

Hi Jim and Brenda, hope you're all doing well. Something ive been wondering is have you considered getting another Percheron to make a heavy team? Also loving seeing Skippy, he's such a cutey.

@sueboettcher 7 месяцев назад

I believe he likes the suffolks because they’re easier to harness (not so tall). Easier as age creeps up on you. But I agree, a pair of black Percherons is gorgeous!

@jimputnam2044 7 месяцев назад

LOL I like you Jim find it hard to back up a hay wagon (2axles) . I worked for a farmer who would have 2 wagons hooked together and back them both into the barn at once. I tried many times and many fails.

@glenmomrik727 7 месяцев назад

Having backed wagons into a potato warehouse multiple times a day for full harvest season what I learned is to steer to a point about 20 ft from were your at keeps you from over stearing

@JamesMcGill-kr2qk 7 месяцев назад

Backing a wagon was the hardest job that I ever did on the farm. We put hitches on the front of the tractor that made it much easier. I can't even imagine trying it with a team and cart. God bless and keep safe.

@RobertJones-ey9qz 7 месяцев назад

I really enjoy watching the sawmill in action. I actually like about everything you show on here. The logging, farming, sawmill and the everyday life. Thanks for another good video. Have a blessed day.

@joelgoodrum9757 7 месяцев назад

For someone who realizes how difficult backing a hay trailer in a barn is that was awesome. We used cotton trailers for square bale hay and used a 4-wheel drive truck with a drop pin hitch welded to front bumper to push trailer in the barn. Nice job!

@gaylesmith1738 7 месяцев назад

I tried to back up a small trailer with a car & couldn't!! Lol!! I only did it one time...I think, with practice I'd get better! But. With horses?? I don't know!! 😂 It seems to me the pigs don't have much room! Not much of a life! 😕 🤷‍♀️ That lumber is beautiful! Wow! I work at a Menards ( like Home Depot) & I NEVER see lumber this nice! William works hard! How in the world did you do all this yourself??!! This was a great video!! 😁

@dalevinkle2549 7 месяцев назад

The pigs are doing really good and growing. All your videos are very pleasurable and informing. Thank you for sharing.

You have built a nice spread . Its been unseasonably mild in utah . We are having a wind storm , sixty miles or so gusty .been almost twenty-four huos . Thankyou . Skippy is growing too.

@louisecassidy5991 7 месяцев назад

I was wondering about Skippy's breeding, and he certainly behaves like a heeler. Australian Blue Heeler was bred to work cattle, to move them by biting heels. No idea what else is in him but looks like kelpie, a herding dog also Aussie, that makes a wide cast and brings stock to you. Anyway, interesting that he feels drawn to the cattle. Purebred heeler is blue speckled, often tri-colour head, often with black patches. Good with children, can be ferocious guard dogs, prone to overweight as a house dog in town, they like space and can run all day, as Skippy can. Good vid as always, love to go for a jaunt up the road in William's buggy! Amish horses do get along right sprightly!

@printaboul 6 месяцев назад

Printaboul = Gaëtan (Quebec city) I just gather today, that the advantage of horses over tractor, is that they can go Gi or Ha on the spot, without going foward or backward much less than the tractor. The problem to most of us, would be conducting the horses I guess.

What is this backing lesson got with relationships with people ?. There was a time in my life when I could back three 40 foot semis in a trucking yard but that took careful patience over a period time .God is the master over our body ,mind and soul.

@Ronald-hx6zn 7 месяцев назад

We live on coast of North Carolina. You should watch boats with twin diesel engines come to full stop and with one swift move back into slip with ease which requires alot of experience to make look easy.I understand the challenge of backing two wheel and four wheel carts having worked on farm in my youth.

I enjoy most everything you do on the farm and in the woods. Has Abby gotten the rest of the wood for her porch floor? Her place is coming along fantastically, but it won't be long before she's had it with the mudding and taping and sanding. That tends to get old fast!

@gentlegiants1974 7 месяцев назад

Those sliding tongues...I sure wish I had them! I was backing 4 abreast the other day up to a disc with the wheels kind of sunk into the mud from where I parked it last fall, oh my word trying to get the drawbar lined up lol, Get it almost perfect then someone takes a half a step forward or back. the disc not willing to budge either. Took a few minutes. The workshops and lessons I teach backing is the most counter intuitive skill I teach, and I leave it till they get a good feel for the lines moving forwards.
