Great video son! I can’t help but brag on this son of ours! So proud of his accomplishments as a pilot but his dedication to keep the farm in the family. He and his cousin Van will be the fifth generation farmers here!! An honor to be his parents! 😘

What ever your content, I'll alway watch it. From one vet to another, thank you.

Thanks for sharing buddy so glad there’s people like you who farm and raise livestock so we can all eat thank you for everything god bless

Nice to see you have invested in a bale feeder instead of rolling it down the hill as before. Good vid and it's nice that you respect other time by informing of no flying. Great vid and keep it up

Nicely edited, sweet drone vignettes, lovely music. Love the low angle winter sunlight and the moody warm barn light, and I especially like that I am watching cattle work, not doing it. Thanks.

Rod, Cattle and farming are a lot of work. It's not the peaceful scene that you see when you drive by a farm. Thanks for sharing.

I like both but I have to say the flying is what I like the most ! Thank-you for what you do !

A great video. It shows how a cattle farm works. Lots of good shots

Thank you for your service!

Never a dull moment raising cattle. I remember hauling manure like that, dump it in a five foot pile and the next day it spread out to three feet high. Love the video.

It doesn’t matter which content you use. I still enjoy the videos. Keep up the great job. AMERICA !!

Hell of a day Lt. Col! That's a lot work to feed those beautiful ladies! My uncle left Ohio to live his dream of owning/being a cattle rancher in Texas. I sure miss him...Thank you for all you do Rod , God bless.

Hello Rod. My girlfriend and I really enjoy your podcast. Great job. I flew as an Air Weapons Director in the 80s and 90s on the E3 AWACS out of Tinker. I've done hundreds of tanker intercepts in the U.S. and Europe. It's fun to watch your podcast and remember. I've had four fam flights on the KC135. Tell us more about yourself. Your commissioning source, where did you go to UPT, did you fly on active duty before the Ohio ANG? Tell us about your family. Overall, outstanding podcast. I'm listening to you apologize for your content, not interesting, too long, not enough airplanes. No need to apologize. Your content has our attention. Kudos to you. Keep it up.

Everything looks good and like your setup and how you do things..we had same here but not as many cattle. Thanks for sharing

Thank you for you service for our country. My son retired from the Army after 23 years. Most of that as a Ranger. I have three grandchildren in the military now. So proud of all of them.

I've never really been around a farm that size let alone a cattle farm. I am going to admit that I'm amazed at the machines like that bale roller and the feeding conveyor. Whatever it is you choose to share I'll definitely always tune in and watch it. Congratulations getting so many subscribers at once. I have shared your channel a few times on my Fakebook account so hopefully it helped you a little bit. Keep up the great work and blessings to you and your family brother.

Col. I’m going to take you way back to mid 60’s when I joined the WVANG and our Unit had C-119C Flying Boxcars with R4360’s. I became a FE/FM and we later got C-119G’s with R3350’s and later converted to “L”s. I flew for almost 9 years. We retired the very last 119’s in the inventory in 1975 and got C-130E’s, then later “H”s. I flew as a C-130 DCC for 7 months in Theater during Desert Storm. My brother was also a Pilot in our Unit. (Our Unit just got Super “J”s). I Retired in 1998. Our Dad served in WWII and then in our ANG Unit when it was first formed in 1947 and during the Korean War on AD in 1950. I Loved every minute of my service and would do it over again. Love your Videos. GOD Bless and Thank You for still serving our great Country !!!

Really enjoy your videos , I’m old tanker crew chief like really old , A model . We have orchards and raise cherries apples peaches , also a little farm market just north of Traverse City Mi , keep up these videos so folks can see how much work it is to farm . Thanks again Sir. 🛫

Might be a good idea to purchase some cheap dust masks and use them when you’re throwing out grain and straw or you’re going to trash your lungs. Nice job taking care of the cattle.

Great video! Brings back memories of younger days. I was surprised to see you still actually using the old style silo. So many are sitting empty and abandoned now. That feeding system is pretty sweet. Hauling round bales in trucks is pretty cool. Better hold on to those long bed trucks because they don’t make many of those and I suspect that when they get done ramming these damn electric vehicles down our throats there won’t be any trucks that can haul anything.

Like watching either one. It's a bonus if both are in the video. This is from a retired veteran that does about the same thing you are doing. Farming and waiting for your plane to have a problem, fire fighter. Probably watched you do touch and goes at Toledo. Keep up the good work on the videos.

Another great video!!!!! love to see how different farmers run there farm! I make videos very similar talking about our farm. keep up the good work and god bless

I watch several farm/cattle channels and I can tell you that none of them work as hard as you guys do! I'm from Ky and they way you guys work reminds me of me and my dad hard at work on the farm. The old way of doing things.. Brings back good memories.

I always enjoy your videos. They always either take me up on a Real High or Gently On The Ground. As an old farmer I enjoy watching them. God Bless yourself and your family and God Bless The USA 🎉

Liked, Subscribed and rang the bell.

Thanks for sharing Rod . Always something to do on with farm. Great video see you on the next one

Thanks for your service and another great video.

Wonderful video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to make it. Thanks Again 👍

Thank You

You all have a bunch of nice looking cattle. Have a good one

Great video,beautiful cattle!

cattle like older hay and straw better than newer stuff for some reason or another

Love your video's, keep making them.

Really enjoy the farm stuff, cattle look good!!

Good looking Cattle nice Straight Back all uniform!👍👍

Outstanding video. I have lived on the farm and others just do not know what all goes into farming. Some think it is just going to the store to get what you need or want. They do not realize what all is involved with putting a steak on the table or even beans in the pot. Great job.

There is nothing better then flying and working a farm God bless

Please never apologize for your content I enjoy planes and farming. I was a AMS in the Navy from 79-86 and went on to working for Grumman, Lockheed, and Boeing Aerospace Companies grew up just south of you so I enjoy both. My brother got his A&P license from Emory Riddle, I got out of working on military planes after being laid off so many times not enough seniority when contracts expired. My brother stayed with it and is still working for Northrop Grummans at Cecil Field Florida and the ironic thing is he’s working in the same hanger I was in while in the Navy. While at Cecil Field I was plane captain of the A7 Corsair and one day we all see this new jet come in and it was of the first test F18’s I believe it was #3 if I remember correctly boy were we all shocked at the technology of that plane, they were going around showing the squadron’s who were going be upgraded to the F18 when they went on line but I got out before our squadron got them. Now my brother works on upgrading the F18 Super Hornets, small world and he’s an Army vet Calvary Scout did most of his time at Fort Knox, KY.

He is the hardest-working pilot I have ever seen and has nothing to do with flying. I bet most of his military pilot colleagues that went into civilian flying get exhausted waiting in lines for their hot lattes at some frou-frou coffee store. Washing their own cars may even be terrifying to them.

Lord thank you guys so much bringing back memories of working with my grandpa on the farm , hard work but man what I got out of it , it shapes people for sure thank you for this video neighbor

good looking cattle

Rod, looks like your HQ AMC staff tour prepared you well for cleaning the barn 😂

just found you ,nice video, from one vet to another

Hello from west TN! Really enjoyed the video, nicely put together.

Glad to hear you get more acknowledgement, your content is under rated! Quick question, why do you do "touch and goes" in your flying videos?

I’m in it for both types of content. I won’t be disappointed

Another great video and good luck with the bull although I think things will be fine 🙂

Preciate yah!

Keep up the good work what are the numbers on the bales indicating

Hi neighbor! Thank you for your service. Great looking and healthy herd, nice to see old fashion farming. I'm in the Medina area.... still few dairy farmers but mostly crop farmers around here. Where are you located? God bless you and your family.... go AMERICA 🇺🇸!

Awesome video! My compliments to your hay bale stacking skills in that old Chevy. What drone are you using?

I think it came from Your neighbor‘s channel. Very much relatable to people who work off the farm and farm as well especially military guard people. You should be picking up Subscribers by five and 10,000 before long.

Super

That's more work I seen just eat. I guess I'm used to using my Amana radar range to heat my food.

Great show. Can you please explain what and how the machine in the top of the silo is doing.?

Nice herd Rod. Great temperament. Do you use Redmond Salt blocks for your herd?

Question…. That’s a ton of equipment…. How often do you have to maintenance/clean it all? Great video Smokey! Still need the Cairn Creek Cowgirls though…..

Are those replacement heifers or are you feeding them out? Good video, yall have a nice operation.

You might tell us how much those hay bales weigh. I'm sure they are not as light as you fellows make them appear.

I like the unroller. Have you been happy with the job it does and the reliablility? The claims of savings the manufacturer has are very high, do you see a significant savings when using it?

I like the flying, but I also like cows :)

Is your hay in the pole shed stacked on rock on top of plastic? Just caught a glimpse.

Dear Heavenly Father, We come before you today with grateful hearts, recognizing the abundance of blessings that you have provided. We lift up in prayer all the cows that roam the fields and pastures, creatures of your creation. We thank you for the sustenance they provide to nourish our bodies and the resources they offer for our well-being. May your loving care extend to these gentle beings, watching over them with kindness and compassion. Lord, we ask for wisdom and stewardship in our use of the resources you have given us, that we may honor and respect all living creatures, including the cows that graze upon the earth. May we be mindful of the interconnectedness of all life and appreciate the role each creature plays in your divine plan. Bless those who work in the fields and care for the animals, guiding them to act with love and responsibility. May we be good stewards of the earth and the creatures that inhabit it. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

That's the smell of money scraping scoopin slingin like jet fuel in the morning right

Do you AI to any clubbie bulls? I am always looking for the next great show steer. I go to Troy Jones in Harrod OH and Winegardner's in Lima OH every year.

Just keep putting out good content like you are and this old soldier will continue watching it but screw up one time and it will reflect on your OER. 🤣 (I don't know what it's called in the Air Force)

Always enjoy your videos,whether it’s farming or flying always excellent!!

💙

Sir, are you out of Wright-Patt?

Just want to ask you there colonel are you bucking for full bird?

Moo moo I love you

Have you seen any of Greg Judy’s videos?

👍👍👍

Calf when you're in sync with nature. I would rule a bail down a hill anytime, You shouldn't have to work that hard.

Have you ever seen that American flag on top of a Barn east of Rickenbacker????

Please put subtitles on. I am hearing impaired and need to read to know what you are saying

u seem to waste a lot of hay ?
