I love hearing you communicate with your team. I taught Sunday school this morning and shared a meal with my daughters family at her homestead, and played a board game with her two children. Being a grand-paw sure is tough. Lord bless
That is very good! Sounds like a productive fun Sunday. Yessir, I believe in talking to them. They can learn about any word man wants to teach em with a little patience and doing. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching! I appreciate it. Take care and do come again please.
So thankful for godly Christians that ain't ashamed to lift up the name of Jesus .when I decided to obey ACTS 2:38 my life truly changed for the better.God bless you and your family
Mr. Odom, I’m grateful to hear you speak about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I too have had to deal with some of the same issues as you Mr. Odom. Seeing you work with your team in the woods brings me peace in remembering and not ever forgetting how hard my grandma worked to raise a garden to help feed her family. Papa was crippled when he was young, grandma with Gods grace kept the farm going the best she could. Thank you Mr. Odom for all you do. God Bless you and your family.
Yessir Mr Hall, you are correct. I am so thankful for Jesus. Changed my life completely. And my animals have helped me a bunch too. They bring me peace and comfort too. Idk what I’d do without them. Thank you sir for encouragement and for watching! I really appreciate it. Take care and come on back anytime you take a notion!

Your mules are a beautiful creation by God. All Animals have a special place in my heart. I believe that when they die God sends them to live with him. Maybe I’m wrong but they are his beautiful creation and he loves them.
Thank you kindly! And yes I feel the same way as you. I love my mules just like children. They’re very similar to kids. They need direction, discipline at times, and love. They’re all a little different and what works for one won’t work for the next. I love what I do for sure. Thank you again, and thanks for watching! Take care and do come again, please
Yessir you’re most welcome and I am glad to do it! Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoy the videos. It makes em worth doing! Take care my friend and as always, come back anytime! Please.
I saw a beautiful pair of Belgium cross mules the other day at Haste Draft Horses and Mules. I like draft horses, but there's just something about mules that I like them a little more. Another interesting video. Thank you
I’ve always sorta favored a mule. I’ve had some really good horses also. But my heart will always lean towards a longear. Thank you for such kind words and thank you for watching! Take care and do come again, please!
Being one with the mules also helps keep you calm The lord knew what He was doing when He created animals its nice to see you working them and how they pay attention to you its also nice to see how you are not tearing up the land with huge machines those mules leave a small footprint in the woods be safe and God bless
Yesss! The animals have taught me a great deal over years. Especially patience! They’re similar to having children. I am thankful for them all. Thank you so much for the kind words and also for watching!! Take care my friend and do come again, please!
Yessir you’re most welcome and I am glad to do it! I try to show several different aspects of the operation to show what it really takes to make an animal logging operation move forward. Anyway, thanks my friend for the kind words. And thanks for watching. Take care and do come again, please!
Wife and I enjoy watching you work your mules, very well mannerd thank you for sharing your time with us God bless ,yes I'm a Christian man and saved praise the Lord
I am glad to hear that! And thank you both for taking time to watch our videos and spend time with us. I greatly appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Your mules are eager to pull, and are also willing to stand. You had me worried when you stood between the two logs when moving forward at 18:24 or so. But then you know what you are doing!
Yessir, thank you. A man has to know his team. And trust them, and the team must know their driver and trust him also. I know what we’re capable of and what we’re not. So I plan accordingly. We learn a little here and there. Everyone does things a little different and everyone’s team is gonna be a little different. No doubt. Good to hear from you and thanks for watching as always. Take care and do come again, please!
Yessir for sure! We may not get out the big volumes like some of the mechanical operators. But for what we do, I feel like it’s successful. Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
I wish my brother & his wife had internet available so they could watch your videos. My brother & my Dad had a matching pair of mules. My brother's friend has a matched pair of mules & he would hirch them to a wagon & ride around the country roads. My brother's friend passed away from cancer so I don't know what happened to the mules. By the way we live in S. E. Tennessee a little town called Etowah.
Very nice! I know where Etowah is..hello neighbor! Thank you for sharing your story with me. I always enjoy hearing from others. The love of mules has brought several people together no doubt…me included. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!! Take care and please do come again!!
I grew up plowing and logging with mules. Was driving my own at age 10 (I was 5'10" at that age....was 6' and 200 pound at 12....doing a mans work....bigger than any man in the camp) More kids need to spend summers on the farms and WORK instead of faces stuck in a phone lying on their azz. We'd be a better country
That’s cool 😎. Yessir I’d tend to agree with you. I try to keep my children out with me at times and let em learn what work really is. No doubt! Thanks for sharing your experiences with me and also for watching! Take care and do come again, please!
Very interesting watching your video does not do justice to all the little things that you do extra to get the job done, now with the question are you mules broke enough that you could use just voice command once they start for the yarding area, I'm glad I'm retired that I have the time to watch, thank you.
Yes, you are correct! There is a lot of little things that has to be done in order to keep this operation moving. As far as my mules, being broken enough… Go back a few months and watch the video. I think it was called old school, logging methods or something like that. I was working them ground skidding. And they went by themselves, and I was able to talk to them. But yes, they will listen to voice! Thank you for always watching, and I am glad you have the time too! I really appreciate it. Take care, and as always do come again, please!
Ok Zach... I'm a.bicycle instructor and many of my trainees are Muslim women. I feel that many of my trainees secretly wish they could escape their religion (taking up cycling is a tiny rebellion) but the Church in England is afraid to reach out to them. Big ask? I think the church in England needs lots of prayers
I think Christian’s today as a whole are scared to reach out to anyone these days. Maybe weakness? Maybe just shy…there is a lot of scrutiny out there these days for a lot of things and especially Christian’s. I will def pray for the Church of England though. The world as a whole, even here in the states, the Christian church is lacking. IMHO of course. We’ve taken a back seat for far too long. Thank you ma’am for watching and also reaching out. I am always glad to help pray. Take care and as always, do come again..please!
Zach, do you ever have odd cuts that are of no value at the mill? I would like to buy from you hardwood suitable for firewood. I'm not commercial. It is for my home fireplace. I have a 28' trailer and my farm truck to haul it if you can load it with the skid steer. Davis Chase
Yes, I could fix you up I am sure. The job we’re on right now wouldn’t work out to good just because you can’t really get a truck and trailer in where the actual timber is. But there is plenty here beside my house on the previous job we worked. It’s piled up but wouldn’t be too hard to get some out and load. Only thing is, I’d need to get the skid steer back at the house. Really would just depend on how much ya would want. But I am sure we could cover you up. Give me a call sometime if ya like 931-409-1082, and we will see if we can come up with a plan. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care and as always, do come again.
Boy Zach they are getting too good. At 21:40they looked extra sharp and thick. You’re gonna get bored and need a new project. Be time to start the youngsters soon.
Thanks brother..yes I will start them later on this summer..they’re gonna be a tad bigger than Kate and Alice. Anyway, thanks for watching my friend and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again..please!
Hey there! For what we can legally and physically haul on it, it’s not needed. Another thing is, we need to be able to get close to our timber as animal loggers and a dead axle, imho of course, will keep you stuck every time you go thru a low spot or over a hump. The best thing is a live tandem with walking beam suspension. It follows the ground well and goes pretty good with the all the wheels pulling. When the time is right, I will just spend the money and get a true tandem with a small diesel in it. We can then get half again more timber on the truck legally and safely. And do it economically as well with the diesel. These old gas trucks are good for what they are…but they’ll always be just that. And this truck to be a good tandem would need more gearing. A 13 speed transmission is typical. If we just stayed on the road a lot with it, then the dead axle would be fine. But still for what we could haul, you really don’t need it. Thanks for watching my friend and your question. Take care and do come again, please!
@@RobertSkene-qw3obvery good! Tell ya what, you pray for me…and I’ll pray for you also! Thank you so kindly for watching and commenting! Take care and do come again..please!
Thank you sir! They are 4 in April. I’ve got another pair of coming 2 yo mare mule colts also. I will start them later this summer. Thanks a whole bunch for watching and commenting. Take care and as always, do come again..please!
