We've been reevaluating the mission and goals of our homestead over the past few months. This has led us to a couple of HUGE decisions. Life on the homestead will be changed quite dramatically, but we are confident they are the right decisions.

***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

I'm glad you are getting the pigs. Can't wait to see them.

@dianadollar6050 3 года назад

The goats are so pretty. It won't take long to rehome. Good job on your pig nation.

@squirefergus 4 года назад

With only one cow you will be completely dependent on one animal. If she has a problem your dairy supply is offline. Multiple goats offer a more resilient and offer greater security to a family. I do hope you reconsider your decision.

Caught your videos for the first time about a month ago,have watched about all of them twice,y'all are a inspiration for everyone that wants to start homesteading, and us older folks that wish they would have done this when we were younger,thank you.

@chrisbitonti4106 4 года назад

Hi! This little tidbit is especially for you. There is a difference between a hog and a pig. They like to be clean and when they are happy they curl their tails. I'm glad that all of your pigs have curled tails. As always, Chris Bitonti

@patriciacoughlin1654 4 года назад

WOW, I see success here.❣ You2 have Your heads together in organization, and change. Love, Rorri's babies.💗💗💗Folks, goats are pets, sweet, gentle. You need acreage for them, they will eat heavy brush and ingrowth clearing areas of your properties if you "temp fence and move them around. " They are meak, and need to be watched, protected from preditors. You can make, and sell goat cheese as well.

@penelopepenobscot4475 4 года назад

Way to go on a good decision. Work, space, benefits to the farm are all great reasons to make a hard choice.

@pattyfair7384 4 года назад

Pigs are smart. My father raised pigs in big way. This adventure is going to be thrilling!!

@cet765 4 года назад

Awe, the baby kids are so cute! I'm going to miss seeing your goats! I wish I could do homesteading! If only I tried to do it 40-50 years ago! I love watching you and your family living the dream! May God bless you all and keep you safe!

@asb2106 4 года назад

the moment the momma came up to check on you, you could see the mom giving you the all clear to hold her baby! How precious!

You all are going to be great with your new adventure. Will miss seeing the goats but life keeps going.

@eddiewatling2895 4 года назад

Great choice. I got my first sows and boar last summer. My first crop of piglets were born last week. Berkshire and Duroc cross. The sows are 700 lbs and the boar is close to 1000. But they are all like kittens. You won't regret it

@colene77 4 года назад

Yes they are so cute!! My daughter has 8 babies!! I walk down the hill now and again to get my goat fix!! Awesome !! I hope you find a good home for your herd!! Colene

@jackienoel2864 4 года назад

@Jomama02 4 года назад

With living the homesteading life I'm sure you are not even aware of how bad it is. I live in a small town of about 23,000 in Ohio. We do have 3 major supermarkets and then Aldi and Save a lot, the shelves are 95% empty. You can't find even beans. Frozen foods, canned foods, staple items, meats, and dairy, paper products, OTC medicines are gone. Thank goodness I am somewhat of a prepper and canner so I am prepared for about 6 months. The only thing I need from the store is fresh produce and fruit. My heart goes out to the families that have to buy their groceries on a weekly basis. There is nothing left for them to throw any kind of nutritious meal together. All schools are closed most likely for the academic year. Voting was cancelled today. Voting! All restaurants, bars, diners, libraries are closed. They are reporting 60% of them will go out of business permanently because of this. The stock market has tanked for weeks but yesterday down almost 3,000 points. There will be no wealth in the middle class left. Retirement accounts are almost gone. All this is happening and I don't know 1 person that even knows of anyone with this virus. I wish we could live more self sustainable but you can't do that living in the city even if it's a small one like mine. We do what we can with what we have growing some foods. Very small scale. Love seeing all the changes and your reasoning why. About when will HOPE have her calf? Will you keep it for meat on the farm or take it to market? The baby goats are adorable but all babies are! Piglets are adorable to! Please continue your videos as much as you can. With everyone being social distant from everything we need these videos. Continue to check on elderly neighbors and others! Keep yourselves healthy!

Jomama 02 it’s scary times were in for sure! I hope you stay safe and prepped!

@sherryk30 4 года назад

@Jomama 02 - I live in the very small state of Delaware where everybody knows everybody. They're telling us that 7 people r sick. Problem is that no one knows of any of them. Im hearing this all across the country. This still doesn't seem to wake folks up! Anyway, I've got Amish farming friends over the state line in PA so i can still get just about whatever I need from their backroad stores (even paper products!). The grocery stores r wiped. Since I retired early, ive been canning and preserving for 3 years and I garden in my yard and 2 of my neighbors yards. We'll be ok for a while. I told my family 12 years ago that we needed to get off of the East coast and away from these big cities and move to a rural mountainous area but they said i was nuts. Guess what they now think we should do? Move away from here! Be safe and blessed.😊💕

@LivingTheDreamHomestead. 4 года назад

Sherry K our friends said the same things. Oh that’s cute your farming. Oh wow you live way out there! Lol yup and yup! And now they’re starting to see. Be safe and god bless!

@sherryk30 4 года назад

@@LivingTheDreamHomestead. I shoukd have sold everything i owned and just left back then. Im sure they'd be banging on my door about now!! Same thing with my canning - "why do u spend the whole summer in the kitchen canning stuff when u coukd come to the beach with us? U only go around once". They'll be looking for my canned goods, too! Be blessed, girl!😊💕💕

I am so jealous! Baby goats are awesome and I love them! I had a pet goat that I bottle raised.

@shirleydrake1602 4 года назад

Those baby goats are so cute! If I was closer to you, I would buy them from you. I bet y’all thank God every night that you are so far along on your homestead. We have just started back up this year after a few years vacation. Your babies are so tiny. Most people don’t know how engaging and sweet goats are! Momma is a little distressed there. Blue eyes, is that common? Good luck with your pigs. Try to keep those goat families together. They love each other for a lifetime.

Hello Good Job kiddo's Old marine Homestead God Bless All

@deborahdarrell900 4 года назад

Thanks for the reminder that every successful business (and our homesteads are just that!) needs short-term and long-term goals and a well-thought out plan. Sometimes we need to step back, re-evaluate and make sure we are on the right path or maybe need to take a left or right! Life happens and things change. Better to make sure we're not sinking money in one area out of habit or emotional attachment when we could be putting that money/energy/time somewhere more productive!

Pig feeding stations look great. Good luck in your future endeavors.

@lorrielawrence9895 2 года назад

I absolutely love watching all that you guys are doing. I have used quite a few videos on canning. Gardening is also I big help to me. I am living vicariously thru your videos. We live in the suburbs and are unable to do all of the things I love watching you both do. Thank you so much for sharing!

@notthereyethomestead8413 4 года назад

Enjoyed hearing about your changes. Pigs are an economical recycling center, and they need the muddy mess since they do not sweat. Goats are such characters, I am sure you will miss them. Blessings in abundance!!

@lindastrandquist2429 4 года назад

Cant wait to see the new animals the babies are adorable. The goats are cute. Each channel I watch has different goats it's amazing to see the differences in them. Once you get the pigs you can feed them any of the excess skim milk that that you may have. You have been very busy on homestead and productive.

@janelleroads6011 4 года назад

Our pigs all were processed at 7 mos except 2 of them. We will be taking them to the meat processor tomorrow. We only have females and 1 castrated male. The females get restless and were busting out of their pen every time the came into heat! Oh, how aggravating! Make sure your pens are crazy strong.

@jchny00 4 года назад

Guys I sure understand your decision. We are considering selling our goat herd too. I keep Oberhasli goats and I just adore them! But my Jersey cow absolutely covers our needs. I raised Hampshire and Berkshire both for several years. My Hamp sow at 2 years was huge! She was well over 600 lbs. The Berk was smaller but still larger than I cared to handle. Never had an issue with the Hamp boar but both sows became very hard to handle as they matured. All pigs, any breed can be dangerous. Just like a cow be aware always and watch body language.
