This week we nearly loose one of our most precious things on our homestead, looks like we weren’t prepared enough!! Join this channel to get access to perks: / @thescotters
What a wonderful episode of lovely kids, lovely parents and lovely pigs. Scotters’ trotters are such a shared joy for all of you; dogs included! l loved it all but the forest and creek are truly magical. Maybe one day we will see as scotters’ otters there!
Life is never linear that’s what makes things interesting. It’s fantastic the kids are enjoying the pigs so much. And having the barn house must be sooo nice to spread out and have some personal space
Just wanted to say how much I absolutely ❤ watching you, Badger, the kids and your animals each week. Your journey is truly gorgeous and thank you for sharing it with us all. The pigs are gorgeous and also you can never have too much ginger!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Who would have thought that four little piggies could bring so much joy. ❤ Your land is absolutely stunning. Lovely way to cool off spending relaxation time in the forest. Have a fantastic week guys. 💐🐷🐖
This is one of my absolute favourite videos ever. The piglets are living their very best life, and the children's lives are enriched! It does seem like a fairy tale. 😊💗👍🇨🇦
You should check out the Newbys latest episode. They just got their first delivery of 1500 bees and it was so amazing to watch them all go into the hive.
Love what you are learning, doing what you have to do, when learning from your mistakes. Remember you will learn lots more on your homestead. Greetings from South Africa
Two children, 2 dogs,1 cat, 4 pigs and a completed barn build. Amazing. Can hardly wait for what comes next. Enjoy your forest as it’s truly magical. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
The piggies are so lucky to have your family. They are adorable. I didn't know piggies can get the "zoomies"! So cute! Your videos are always enjoyable.
I have to tell you that I watched this episode on Sunday, and now it's Wednesday. I just keep thinking about the scene where Trixie was playing with the piglets in the wallow and belly laughing. It made my week. What fun!
I had the biggest smile on my face the whole way through this episode 😊the sound of Trixie giggling and the piggies 🐷 doing zoomies had me laughing out loud……just magical ❤ when you get chickens 🐔 think about having Silkies they are so friendly and adore sitting on your lap and mine helped me weeding, picking out the bugs as I turned the soil…… also absolutely delicious 😋 eggs 🥚 Xxxx
so lovely to see you two happy and enjoying the fruits of all your hard work. I had a couple of tiny wild pigs in oz years ago an they truly were such fun. wish I had a million friends I could send your way......
Parents have babies to play with again 😂 The forest, river and waterfall looks incredible ! Pick one or two hidden spots for a table and chair ... so beautiful to sit under a canopy of trees and ferns ❤
Oh I wish I could send my Dad's Guernsey steer & donkey to you! We've been looking for a sanctuary for them & you would love them 🙂 Our Dad had them as pets & he passed away suddenly back in April (he was 93). Sadly we are across the pond ... fingers crossed we find the right home!
Thank you so much for the lovely video! Those piglets are so sweet. I love to see them playing with the kids! The forest you have is amazing! What a paradise!
Very interesting about the pigs and bees. I have several lemon trees and the first years the trees give little fruit. Perhaps trim the fauna around the tree and prune the tree.
Such an enjoyable video. Love just watching you two enjoy your space . All the work that awaits you will still be there tomorrow. It’s good for you to just breathe and soak in all the goodness your beautiful space on this earth has to offer you!
Yet again another episode of pure joy. You guys are truly living the good life! The children are tblessed to have this magical place to grow up in. Now that I have had my weekly fix of the Scotters, I am happy. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures. Love you guys. Lilian Australia.❤️❤️
What a beautiful video. Nothing but happiness and smiles! Who knew 4 little piggies could bring so much fun! A truly lovely Sunday viewing experience!❤
After your manic time getting the barn ready to use you deserve a well earned break and just enjoy the area especially as it’s the hot time of the year. Relax and enjoy the family time together.
I’ll admit my first thought was a whole episode of pigs Shame on me they are so delightful and more important to see the joy they are bringing to your family ❤🐷
So cute….one question we have is…are these piglets eventually going to be feeding your family in a year or two? Are the piglets all brothers and sisters? Beautiful forest…can’t wait to see you adding chickens to the mix. You’re family is so precious. We love watching you guys. In regards to your lemon tree, it needs good soil amendment to produce more lemons as they are heavy feeders I give mine a fertilizer that says 6-6-6 ideal NPK ratio. We also add a 75:25 ratio of grass clippings or leaves and add eggshells or bone meal and banana and orange peels, coffee grounds and put it beside the tree but not too close to the bark. Also if you do prune, you can start a new lemon tree with the cutting :). Big hugs from Chile ❤
If you tune into Project Portugal the often run the fencing thru the woodlands to clean out the undergrowth. Some thought when your pigs get a bit older. They are so cute at this age. Love watching all your comings and goings.😍
Beautiful scenery with beautiful Scooters❤ Your smile and Authentic personality hits home for me whenever you all have a video !! Always happy with positive vibes just love you all sincerely cindy❤ Thank you always for sharing your life and journey 😊🎉
Replace zip ties with metal wire, the plastic degrades and breaks easily in short time outdoors(heat/sun). Brilliant job on pen and cute piggies. Plans for when they grow huge?
I saw a cute video of piglets playing with a big rubber ball and we’re having the best time. Your kids would enjoy playing ball with them, you too lol❤
We have potbellies and trained them with an electric fence single line inside the net. As they grow the view of the orange line keeps them inside and away from the veggie garden. We now fence single line no energizer around the cultivated areas, and they literaly don't cross the line. pigs have the rest to roam around. Just an idea. They WILL break any physical barrier you try to use to lock them inside.
Go happy to see the pigs are bringing you all such joy. The forest is so beautiful, you are really so lucky. Its paradise on earth. Glad your taking some down time, you have both worked soo hard. Enjoy but I cant wait for the next step in your journey. Have a great week.
It was the Hollar homestead. He moves them around the property, because they eat eveything in site and need new ground to eat.. If you have land that could use a good clean up from weeds and over growth they will clean it up for you.
I loved watching you interacting with teh piglets, they are so cute!!!! That forest and stream in your land is magical!!!! I enjoyed this episode very much!!!! See you next time!!!!
Badger, I really love ur new helpers they are so darn cute and so curious! The bees wow there are so many beautiful flowers to feed them! I sure hope they survive!! Good luck! Tara hired a bee man she may have some ideas but it looks like u know what ur doing!! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🙀🙀
White suits and smokers are for commercial keepers in a hurry. I kept a top bar hive and serviced it with a simple hat and veil. If you are gentle, don't eat bananas on the day, and are careful not to crush a single bee, you should co-exist nicely. I was never stung. Respect them.
Loved this episode and for some reason I teared up when you went down into the forest…dragonflies flowers water all beautiful …add to that those adorable piglets…I giggled as well. I think Kayla said she has to pinch herself and I can see why …wishing you all the best from Canada 🇨🇦
I have to admit, I was kinda laughing watching you with all your piggy excitement. Only because I grew up on a farm with pigs .I have MANY memories of chasing the pigs home, they are ESCAPE ARTISTS. It became a neighborhood continual event. Until my my Mom said, "that's it!!! no more pigs" ha ha, Great memories, thanks. I am 70 and still have such great childhood memories of being with the pigs.
Your piggies are adorable and loving. They really behave like dogs. My daughter has a farm and she bought supposedly a piggy few years ago that wasn't going to get big and now he weighs about 300 lbs. He is massive! Lol
Piggies are a delight but I’m bowled over by your native forest!! What an amazing place! How much land do you have? I finally - after 15 years - have something close to this on my 2ha in the Serra do Açor but still have the pine monoculture (which all burned in 2017) to convert. (While my neighbour’s land is covered in eucalyptus … but we won’t get into that …) It seems to be a lot less messed with where you are further north.
Hi! First of all love what you do and your family is amazing 🤩 Just wanted to ask if you could talk about the experience of having kids at school in Portugal and how all went with the kids and your opinion of Portugal’s education system 😊 Cheers
Thank you so much! They are all doing so well, they have just finished a whole school year and all almost fluent 🥹 which blows my mind. They have been given so support I honestly can’t rave about it enough I’m not sure if we have just been lucky but we are super happy with it! Please feel free to email if you have any questions about it ☺️
Love hearing the giggles from the children. The piggies have five playmates who spoil them rotten.😂. Please check ask for ticks. My nephew was in the hospital for 2 weeks as a result of a tick bite. Take care❤
Loved this video-I couldn't care less if you never built the stone house (kidding) but just hung out in the forest with Pudding while he swims and hangs with the pigs!! They are super sweet!
