Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

You guys bring back so many wonderful memories of my youth. The pigs and chickens I was ok with but the cows I was afraid of. When my Mom would milk the cows and the cow would not stand still I was always scared that the cow would trample Mom to death. But my mom would just smack them and tell them to get over and kept on milking. While Mom milked all the cats would come into barn and want some milk and of course Mom would squirt milk to each cat. I so enjoy all your videos so keep them coming, they keep me calmer during these bad times. ❤️U guys

@@kathleenmoritz108 A fox or other predator got one just a few weeks ago in broad daylight. It was missing at shut up time in the evening. They looked and looked for it in case it had an accident and needed help or a vet, but they never found it, so they decided it must have been taken by a predator. I'm not sure how many there were in the beginning. You can't watch all your stock all the time and things do happen.

One of the great things about having a dedicated feeding station is that you can pour a pretty rough concrete pad, just in front, leaving pretty gritty. That will take care of all of the hoof trimming needs so that you don't have to wrasle a 300-pound pig to trim its toes

Charlie was showing some lameness in his rear when he came off the trailer. I could still see some in the second film with him in it. Obviously a boar needs to be able to mount a sow, keep an eye in him. Nothing horrible just some stiffness. I wonder if. His feet are in good trim? This is something you could check and do yourself. I wouldn’t feed him more than the sows or I would make sure some of his portion of food is lower calorie veggies to keep him a lean mean healthy 🐗...

IS HE RAW ? I laughed so hard and to this day i still laugh at it. she is 30 this year and would kill me if she knew i told the world.... It's a good time for laughter I think. Nice pigs btw

Sorry, my mind is wandering. For now, am going to forget the feeder pig's. They were budgeted for. But, Charlie, Myrtle, and ?, weren't. Am sure they weren't cheap. Focus on that expense. If "?" is bred in October 2020,, gives birth February 2021, piglets live to maturity, October 2021, to provide Kevin & Sarah with meat for the next year, October of 2022 !!! That's an expense that is taking them over 2 1/2 years out. If THAT doesn't prove that they now have "FAITH" on the Homestead, nothing does. Sorry all, in these trying times we have been doing our part to help by self isolating and haven't been out in public for about 10 days. We aren't sick so that's a plus. Just needed to talk to someone. Thanks for listening. Thanks for sharing Kevin and Sarah. Be safe all, and "Keep the Faith" Mark

@@marktoldgardengnome4110 I know the feeling. I started a cold Saturday morning about an hour after I got up. I do have allergies and am used to those, but suddenly I was having to blow my nose a *lot.* I went into the bathroom and got the bottle of zinc tablets and started sucking on them. I'm much better after only four days, so that zinc seemed to work, in spite of the icky taste it left in my mouth. That's the first cold I have had in 6 years. Before that it was about 10 years or maybe more. A *lot* happened during last week and the week before in my life and most of it was pretty unpleasant, so I bet stress had a lot to do with getting caught by the cold. Once I'm sure I'm not contagious I need to go get a thing or two. Had an unexpected expense and the vehicle at the shop for most of week before last, so when I got it back and went shopping the stores all looked as if the locusts had come through them and I couldn't get all I needed. Hopefully, I will be able to get enough to last for quite a while, but I have limited storage space and I need to be mindful that there are others who have needs as well as I do.

Kevin and Sahara you both are a breath of fresh air. You are so inspiring to so many people. It was so fun watching the excitement on your faces and to see a dream come true for you. You talked about the pigs being relaxed and even snoring. The farm where you got these obviously had taken care of them. Because I transported pigs, sheep, goats and sometimes cattle, picking them up all over the state of Maine and bringing them to a auction barn in the western part of Mass, I know that how you drive plays a big part of how they react when you arrive to your destination. I hope these pigs are a huge sucess to your homestead. Everything on your place seems to go well other than the rain. We got dumped on with 6 inches of snow yesterday, so I know about the spongy ground. Many blessings to your family.
