Happy Mother’s Day to Hilarie! 🥰

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!

Happy Mother’s Day Hilarie! You are one of the reasons this channel is so special! 💐

Got to love Pete..I started watching Pete because I was starting a small farm..About 4 years ago..And now we are doing great we have Dexter cattle and we raise turkeys and meat chickens and egg layers and we just started raising ducks for eggs and meat..I really appreciate Pete's wisdom...thanks Pete ..yall have a great mother's day.

I love how the rest of the herd comes to meet the new member of the family.

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 !! ❤️

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 Mother's Day, Hilarie! Farm and herd looking good, Pete.

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

‘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.

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.

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.

It's in need of a new paint job so it fits in with all the red tractors. It's what I would do. IH Red would work quite well I be thinking.

HAPPY SPRING!!! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms🌷🐄🌞

Hope Hilary had a nice Mother's Day! A little belated wish for you! 🤗❤

Thanks Pete. You are an oasis of sanity in this crazy world.

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

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.

The cows are always fun to watch as you change pastures. You will get a lot of use out of that excavator - great purchase!

A bloke with a new toy - I love it how we can always justify a new toy, I mean tool ! 😂

I'm sure you'll find plenty of uses for that mini excavator. Especially with that thumb attachment!!

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

Hi Pete, calving is always a special time, particularly when there are no issues. The Angus usually have very little calving problems, mom coughs, out comes a calf. Thanks for another informative video. Best wishes for your family, and the four legged ones as well. Take care.

I hope your family is happy and well. I love the birds.

I can see a new hobby collecting and restoring mini excavators.

Happy Mother’s Day Hilarie. Like your idea for the craft paper and planting your garden. We are having our coffee and enjoying your video. Have a great Sunday. Thank you

Happy Mother's Day. Pete has a new toy, I mean tool.

Happy Mother's Day to Hilarie! As always, thanks for sharing with us. Congrats on the new calf and hope the others show up soon. I have many friends who have shared that the mini excavator was one of their best purchases and didn't know how they had gotten by without it for so many others. Take care & stay safe.

Good morning Pete and cows ❤

Hilarie Happy Mother's day!!! You and Pete are among the best in agriculture KZfaq.. thanks for all you do at helping people understand agriculture.

You sir will get me in trouble! Out for mother’s day breakfast and I’m watching your video.

Brings back memories of raising a newborn calf when the mother didn't survive. It was a lot of round the clock work getting the formula prepared and eventually weaning her.

Very good video. Happy Mother's Day Hilary. Nothing like a new calf on the farm for the occasion. Beautiful little critter.. love your gentleness with them😊

Great idea / tip on gardening without weeds. They are a pain to hoe out all during the growing season.

Hi Pete, nice excavator you got yourself, that is such a versatile tool, all you are missing now is a ditching and trenching bucket, and maybe later a post digger, and you will have a complete tool, it will do the hard work for you...Have fun!

thanks for the new ideas for gardening.

Great sharing the garden. Hope to see the harvest. Great new toy, glad Hillary got to try it.

You are with us now “ I said I can do it I never said I was good at it”

This video was so much fun. Thank you. I love that Hilarie was on the new machine.

Thank you for the calm and beautiful format!!

I would bet that excavator can pile drive fence posts in nicely. No more waiting on the other guy. Food for thought 😊.

😀Hilarie is a natural . Sunday is always better with a few acres . I look forward to gardening so much since I retired . Love variety in today’s video . Thank you Pete .God Bless

Hi Pete, not sure if you’ve seen this new hydrant idea yet, but I saw a post from Midwest innovative tech that seems brilliant. The basic premise is adding a pit less adapter to the bottom of the hydrant and placing the hydrant into a pvc pipe with the other half of the pit less in the bottom of the pvc pipe.

Looks a handy little excavator. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

It’s the best time of the year. Grass is growing,warming up and haven cafes

Happy Mother's Day to Hillarie and all Mom's watching this channel. Great to see the new life coming to the farm! And Pete has a new toy in the mini-excavator! I see fun times ahead! Thank you for sharing what's going on and your ideas for gardening. It's always a good time when Just a Few Acres Farm posts a video!

Happy mother's Day Hilarie

Happy Mother’s Day Hilarie!

That baby excavator is the cats meow Mr. Pete. And it will come in handy!

Alright, Hillary! You go, woman! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I very much enjoy your channel, I’m not a farmer but enjoy.

And the cycle begins again 😀. Love your bad jokes and Hillary is awesome!

Way to go Hillary, you did better then me. Happy mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day to Hillary!

Modern excavators are fun to operate unlike the old ones with very stiff and hard hydraulic leavers or just hard cable winches. I think all yours needs is just general maintenance and it will be fine. Calf for mothers day is just awesome.

I love your videos! You explain things very well and your voice tone is pleasant to listen to. Thank you for such good content! You inspire me to do better with my little farm.

Absolutely Wonderful content. Happy Mother's day Hill!

Nice addition with the mini. Congrats! Thanks for another great video.

Old things that make a day wonderful and new is a good day! Just a few acres thanks for sharing

I know the feeling regarding calves, we’ve got 45 cows & heifers here in Australia, tiny scale really. We leave them to own devices, but love to see new life. For us, went back breeding as it’s more rewarding than just growing out steers, even if the losses are higher sometimes.

Your spring and summer videos are the best !!

Love the newborn calf! Thanks for sharing!

Loved the calving! New life. Hey, Pete, on your excavator - you gotta peel off the rental company decal! Make it yours! :)

Another great video Pete, Happy mother's Day Hillary and great job with the excavator!

Happy Mother’s Day Hillarie from Ireland

You dont have to say "I hope you enjoy this video". This is the best content on youtube, and you could be a tv star. But I am sure you dont want that. You make good money on youtube now, and can still live your live. But time on videos and cameras cost money too. You have a nice balance. And so far no adds😊

love watching the farm.

She will be a pro in no time

Thanks for another great video as always and congrats that you got your first calf. The little machine you bought will be a great addition to your line up and the wife getting some time on it too will be a great help to you both.

Happy Mothers Day Hilarie! Glad to see you got a thumb on your gnu machine. That adds so much to what you can do. Hilarie may take the excavator for herself. Nice ending with a new calf, jack

I love all the Espoma tones! I use the biotone when planting flowers or landscaping plants and even put it in my raised vege beds when I first plant.

Pete another great video. You can use the bucket of the excavator to push fence posts into the ground too.

Great episode Pete. Really enjoyed it. Perhaps because I like most people have varied days. Some planned and others pop up. Nice calves for sure.

I absolutely love how you don’t even see the cows waving there tails because of bugs! Your solution is epic!

Watching the cat's interest in the kraft paper was a hoot. The sound and texture of kraft . Paper bags are made of just that. Irresistible to any feline, regardless of shape. I wonder what the precursor was, rustling dry grass ? Bred into the bone,I say. Ezra,a happy curious cat.

Happy mother's day, Hillary.

Pete and Hilary, Thank You both for great video today. Your tutorial on organic gardening was very interesting. It's wonderful that your Township provides you decent looking mulch and your Dad was kind enough to pick it up and deliver it to the farm. The Case Mini Hoe will definitely come in handy for a lot of jobs around the farm. Hilary looked reasonably comfortable operating the Mini Hoe. Like anything mechanical , it takes some time and practice. Nice to see the first heifer of the season. Your Tulip Cow is well built with a straight top line .

CONGRATS!

The Vegan thing baffles me. I understand minimizing meat intake, but would never want to deny myself meat entirely. Thank you Pete.

First time i've seen Hilarie using any of your machinery and I believe ladies generally have a lighter touch with this type of equipment - looks like a new apprentice, and she likes it! 😀

I've found that cardboard boxes work pretty good for weed block.

Hope all the calf’s are born healthy and you have a great day.

Lots of info today: Garden philosophy of no till and a bag check of the soon to be moms. (Utterly Devine)

I enjoy seeing calving season on your farm, your cows always have great looking calf’s and the others always feels the need to help in the process of cleaning them and being apart of the birthing. Enjoy every video you and Hillary put out always full of great information, and has great humor in them. Watching Hillary on the excavator learning to run it, she did a great job for the first time being on one. Hope this calving season is as great as all the others on your farm Pete.

Thank you. I am enjoying the vegetable garden info.

Thoroughly enjoyable episode. 👍

New life on the farm. Great video.

I want you to know that I’ve reviewed these videos over and over again before the next one comes along I always want to know something that I may miss. Thank you so much for being a farmer that I wish I could be.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY HILLY🥰 Take her out for a big dinner Pete. She's a keeper👍

Great purchase! Cant wait for the projects.

Thanks for another video, Pete.

Never seen Hilarie driving any of the machinery before. That was nice!

Happy Mother's Day Hillary. Very good video today on family gardening. Thanks Pete for another Sunday morning educating video. Peace

Happy Mother’s Day Hilarie! Pete, no more shovel is the way to go that will save you so much time on the farm.

And the best goes on.

Happy Mom's day Hilarie. Smile as a proud poppa you do when the calves come.

Love having new calves!! We just had one today too. She is half south poll half mini jersey. She is calf #6 for us and only the second heifer. Our first cow, a red dexter, calved almost a week ago. Unfortunately she has a really bad udder and one teat seems to get bigger with every calf. I think this is going to be her last calf and our first dexter beef. Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations on the new calf! I love their community of protection for the little one. Great video, thank you Pete and Hilary~!

Happy Mother's Day Hilarie+ Congratulations on the new calf. I bet you have 2 more by tomorrow. They look ready. I think it is really cool how the herd gathers around the new calf
