Picking up beef from the butcher, putting down weed block and mulch in the garden, Hilarie and I try out the new mini excavator, and the first calf of the year.

    That Case is a great addition. Sure beats the shovel and a mattock. Thanks for sharing, Pete. Happy Mother's Day, Hillary.

    Hilarie got a new calf for Mother’s Day! How sweet to see nature take its course and all the mothers give their support. Hoping all the others go just as smooth. Just love y’all !! ❤️
  • Happy Mother’s Day Hilarie! In 1961 my mother would place me in front of tv during early Sunday mornings to watch Modern Farmer. JAFAF is the reflection of that memory. My mother passed May 5, 2023 at 94. Modern Farmer is the entry point where I learned to appreciate farmers and farming. Hope you, Hil and family have a great Mother’s Day!
  • I love how the rest of the herd comes to meet the new member of the family.

    Happy Mother's Day, Hilarie! Farm and herd looking good, Pete.
  • Pete, what nice Mothers Day gift you bought Hillary, her own mini excavator, what a thoughtful husband you are. Reminds me of the time , Homer Simpson bought a men's bowling ball for Marges birthday. Just kidding, Hillary hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day.

    Happy Mothers Day to Hilarie and congratulations on the first calf of the season. 🎉🎉

    Thanks again, Pete. Love the excavator. Nice addition, as is the first calf. The communal welcome is cool. Glad to see spring up there. Best regards.

    Love that notion of using the paper/mulch. Clean equipment always runs "more gooder" and goes much faster. LOL That's gonna be a NICE addition to the farm. Those Tulip steaks are looking delicious, great grill material there. Congrats on the new little one, just as cute as ever. And a Happy Mother's Day wish for Hilarie, the channel's blossoming equipment operator.

    Nice garden system and i liked that tub of clean water for the cows.

    ‘Having a calf is a very big deal for us’. Well Mr Pete and Mrs Hillary, you’re the best in getting our day off to a wonderful start.
  • Hope Hilary had a nice Mother's Day! A little belated wish for you! 🤗❤
  • @raincoast9010
    I said to myself when Pete started to clean it, he is going to get a manual for the machine and sure enough... ha ha ha. Make sure you hit all the grease points! Good for you, it's a great tool for the farm.

    Just love calving time. We raise Belted Galloway cattle. Just four calves left. Pete, just love the videos. Hillary, Happy Mother’s Day!
