Glad your chickens are laying eggs for you. Now for the rat issues fingers crossed you catch them. Thank you for the video

made me happy to see you collecting the eggs and putting them in your hat! my grandaddy used to do that....good memories....

Great video. First, you are not like everyone else. The majority of people would either roll the dice and just do it or hire someone else to fix their problems. Second, you’re the humblest man on KZfaq! Your ability to teach others, entertain us and make many of us strive to do better is a gift. My sons and grandsons watch your channel with me and your actions have taught them that daily effort and hard work make for excellent results. Thanks

The pigs have sure done the job on the garden!

Lots happening on FTR - Thanks.

Fun day on the ranch. Hope you catch a rat real soon. May you and your family have a great weekend.

Mrs. FTR is going to love that garden space for this coming season. Rototilled and seasoned with composting fresh manure. Some of those pigs have got some ham hocks on them. Would be interested in weights vs. your feed costs (bulk grain).

I watch and love every single video FTR puts out you can tell Tyler puts so much effort into making them.😊

Morning FT! As far as the welding, I have full confidence you’ll figure it out! Same with the rats, their time is numbered. Fun watching you with the chickens and pigs! I do so love to watch you do chores! God’s blessings!❤❤❤

Thanks for the video, I usually learn something and always enjoy watching!

❤❤❤❤ just my Farmer Tyler doing his thing! Tyler, do you aim to grow your herd considering your land situation?? When do we get another live?!! Those were fun lol now that you and the missus have the kiddos it would be even more fun🎉😂😂🙌🏻

Your videos keep getting better!

I agree, when you need it, you need it. Well said.

Yes there is a lot of speciality equipment that you need to have on hand for those one off situations like an extremely wet or an extremely dry year.

A thought is to put a piece of that angle aluminum in the corner where the weld is cracking & Seal weld it to the 2-walls it would give you more surface area weld. Just a thought😊 6:03

Another Banger for U Tyler. U Always come through in attempting to keep things on the Ranch going. I luv it. Those piggies r do Healthy. I Always though they were the Cutest. My Father raised them on Our Farm and also Harvested them when it was time. I was Allowed to keep a little one as a Pet, a Little Albano one in the House. The Cutest thing ever. Never used the bathroom in the house, just let him out and he would do his business and come back in. Unfortunately, he did not last long. I was devastated when he died. Love little Piggies. Another great job on the Ranch, keep pushing!

The best aluminum welding, I've ever seen, was done by the specialists who work on aircraft engines. Being able to weld such delicate structures as cylinder cooling fins, on something people's lives depend on, is a real test of the mind set required. I'm no expert welder, but having been on the "inspection" end of the process: Tyler has some mad welding skills... A little more practice will produce near perfect trailer repairs.

*I clamp a thick piece of steel flat bar on the back side of the aluminum being welded for a heat sink. prevents blow-through, plus steel will not adhere in case I get a spot of melt-through.

Like your cattle getting used to the walk through sprayer, try this. Set some rat traps out with peanut butter on them, but don't set the spring. Let them eat off it a few days to get used to them and have their scent on the trap. Then place them around the area. Always use latex gloves to minimize your scent. Good luck.

Everything is looking good on the ranch keep up the good work .

Hi Tyler., Happy New Year., A Man doing his own Work & you do not mind teaching yourself New Things and that’s what I like about you. It’s the Same for me when I am Cooking I come up with new ways to Cook 1-6-2024❤

Thank you for the video

Good Afternoon, Tyler, Callie and Belly!No Rats yet! Stepping up the Bait! Trip to town! Special Gas! The Loading Trailer! Checking on the Winter Pasture! Everything is Okay! Protein Tub! The Gas! Aluminum Welding! Great Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Citrus , are very interesting. To ripen their fruit they need to acquire say 4000 degree days of heat. Here in Northern California you might get 3500 degree days a season. Citrus will overwinter their fruit until next season when they get their Total of 4000 degree days. So in NorCal you can have TWO crops of fruit on the tree at the same time. Perhaps the extra water from this winter split the fruit. Just Say'n and Learn'n

I wanted to talk to you about pink eye and the video od when you cut open a sist on your cow's face. I think I can see the problem. I use to make farm machinery in the Isle of Man in Britain and I loved it. One of the tools I made was Top cutter, now if you take your shredder and I assume it has one or two blades, they use chains here in Portugal but topcutter is just Shredder with adjustable skids on the sides to set the hight. In England the farmer goes over the pasture ant top cuts the field, All the good grass is under the blade but everything else is cut. Nothing to sting your animal while feeding. I'm going to make one here when I get time, Yeah, time hahaha. I have the same problem with my fields.

I'd like to have a few pigs for a few days in my garden!

Good rounds at the FTR! Aluminum welding..even doing everyday....always throws the "what if's" at you! Know you will get it handled. This is just one of those needs that JB Weld will be a bit short....LOL!

❤️ your videos

Good practicing. You are so right about our equipment. I love my little tractor and sure I could have used a bigger one but I’m retired so I can slow down a little. Thank you for sharing a little of your life. I tried to send you an email. I don’t know if it disappeared or you got it. Thanks.

good morning Tyler

And when you know , you know. You know😁

You need more egg laying possibilities for the chickens even milk crates work for that or build a bunch more.

Very important

I was wondering if you brought a salt block over to the winter pasture. Just curious 🧐😃

thx

OMG I laughed out loud when the pig threw himself on to the oranges !! I have said it before … the winter pasture is beautiful. It is very peaceful to see the cattle grazing under the trees, with the lush green grass. Do the cattle there get a Redmond copper & selenium block? Great video. Come on rats, take the blasted bait.😁

I have 2 of those bucket traps. One in a barn in the woods, one at home place. I, too, have caught nothing in 3 years, but i temain hopeful. It doesnt help when you sit there and watch the rat run across the top of it.

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO TYLER 😊

Well I’ve never got any mice/rats in my bucket trap either. Can always use an extra 5 gallon bucket…….😎 spool gun….at least it comes in a nice case. I love tig over anything if possible

Reece's Peanut butter cups for bait... Just a suggestion. I know that is the best for mice. Not sure for rats but it is likely the same.

The bucket trap worked for me. Where is the little ramp for it. Also the peanut butter should be smeared above the trap door deep under the cover.

Just wondering what is the inside width and length of the stock trailer?

Do the pigs go to auction and you just process what you need? Great video as always.

Help that is clean out the trailer sometime would help it i clean mine out every once a week

Normally I would eat my pork with a little apple sauce. Perhaps orange sauce is worth a try!

The bucket trap apparently works well when there is a large infestation of mice.

At the end, I saw Callie jumping up on the hay bales quite easily. How high up can she get?

We use the bucket trap, but for mice. Our bucket has a little ramp going up and the mice climb onto a can smeared with peanut butter which spins on a rod when they get on it. They drop into the water. The end. It's worked pretty good, but traps have worked consistently effective. Rats are bigger and more of a challenge. I'd try rat traps

Try to use Bacon Grease. It works wonders

Have you thought about cross fencing the winter pasture

orange perfume for the piggies

👍

I like your cows and calefs and bulls and pigs and chickens and dogs 🐕 🐕🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐖🐖🐖🐖🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Mix peanut butter & baking soda.

Why didn’t you bolt those angle pieces in each corner to the trailer?

💖💖💖💖💖💖

Lerd knows I can't weld fer 💩, but I work with some extremely talented welders. It's the sound mostly when you get it right. Usually if it sounds good, then you've pretty close to nailing it. I would not even attempt to weld aluminum. That's an entirely different process. I'm quite sure that you will get the trailer all fixed up.

💖💖💖💖💖

Hi Tyler, do you rotate the cows on the winter pasture?

Are you putting grains on top of the bucket trap?

Hey Tyler, not to bust your bubble on practicing your aluminum welding. Just asking a question would it be easier and stronger to drill and bolt an angle brace in the trailer being it is broken in the corner? You would know better than me. Keep up the great work. Love when you show us all of your animals. Belly is becoming a beautiful shepherd.

How far apart are the bars on your portable hay trailer and your permanent hay set up. Sorry if you have mentioned it before and I've missed it.

Do you have a power washer to clean out the trailer?

Is welding practice something you brought to the ranch or was it something your gf passed on to you? Always impressed seeing the results.

Farmer's wives make marmalade 😅

TYLER! What do you do with all those eggs? I have the same thing going on. Dave

How are you liking ur porta band table?

Regular Rat trap,, Wooden Victor with Beef Jerky on it. Could you resist Beef Jerky?? Plus its tough to get it off, increasing your odds even more. Your biggest obstacle is the rat smells bad news. A new trap has no smell of bad news

Whats up with the dusted-over bike and helmets?

The oranges split because of too much water.

Show us you picture behind you. Is that your granddad?

Aluminum angle iron? Lol. How about aluminum angle?

Tyler don't feed the cats and you won't have to drown the rats. They are very smart creatures and humans have been trying to eradicate them awhile and yet drowning is the answer. Maybe you're right time will tell. Now enough of that great job on your accomplishments this year. got to hand it to you for a one man operation very impressive. I watch Greg Judy on his cattle farm interesting on rotating fields and how it saves money on feed. You may already know of him . Thanks

hello.

Eau de orange fragrance pig! 😂

Gotta use cheese for rats man Lol

The rats detect your smell.Clean the trap and usu cloves.

Hope you’re removing your dog before welding

👍
