Homestead Frugal Living Master Class Week 1

Texas Farmstead Living - Caren Rueffer

8 ай бұрын

Each week we will share 5 frugal living tips for 7 weeks from our lifetime experience of frugal living. Mr. Rueffer grew up in a German pioneer family with a strong culture of frugality out of necessity. He picked cotton, no indoor plumbing until he was 13 years old, and made do with what they had.
Listen in to gather wisdom from Mr. Rueffer's lifetime of living a life of only taking what you need and making the most of your God-given resources.
I did what many of you dream of doing. That is leaving the city and moving to a homestead! I did this back in 2001 and it was uncommon, but the Lord did lead the way. So I am here to encourage you to continue your pursuit in moving your family out of the city and living this amazing agrarian life.
Blessings,
Caren

Hi Caren! Love y'all tips! I have five girls ages 31-15 and I have been cutting their hair since they were born. The older ones still ask me to cut their hair, since the prices are over $50 at the salon. I also cut my own hair and my husbands. I did go to cosmetology school before I got married, which helped a lot. I continue to watch videos to keep up with the lasted styles and techniques. My second daughter went to cosmetology school also, so she can take over when I am no longer around. I learned to sew in middle school but haven't sown in many years. Looks like I should try my hand at it again. Thank you for sharing! I love hearing all the wisdom y'all have. See ya next week!

How blessed to have five girls. I have one. You have saved thousands of dollars by cutting their hair. Yes you would probably love getting back into sewing. I am exploring hand quilting these days and really enjoy it. Thank you for watching!

Have you guys already released the video on how to stop your cows from wasting hay? Or is that still to be released? My dairy cow is notorious for wasting her hay! Every morning I go out and fork it right back into the ring, lol.

The video "How to build a no-waste round bale hay feeder"will be released Friday morning. I hope you can watch it! Yes, dairy cows are notorious for picking through hay.

It's not so easy to save money with homemade clothing nowadays as patterms and fabrics cost alot more than cheap imported readymade.

Thank you for your comment and we appreciate you watching our video.

Can you explain what the no waste animal feeding entails?

@texasfarmsteadliving-caren9517 8 ай бұрын

We are referring to dairy animals wasting hay. Using a hay ring they will pull out a large percentage of hay which is extremely expensive. Thank you for watching and your question.
