My grandfather always used his mare when she was in foal. He’d use her all winter for hauling firewood, he’d lighten the load as the winter went on and her pregnancy got further along . And she would always have a healthy foal in the spring.

It’s funny, Jim, that you didn’t think you had a very big load but I thought you had a BIG load CUT!! It is always fascinating to see all the different things you were able to do with the horses and how well behaved they are no matter what you were doing or the difficult situations they can get into..Navigating around those trees with those big trees hanging off the end or the big tall trees up in the sky, neither one are particularly made for easy navigation… your orders to them are precise and they do just exactly what you say and they come out of that forest and without causing any accidents or harm do you or what they’re hauling!!!! After watching you saw those very long pieces of lumber I’m even more amazed by this video today as you cut down these extremely tall trees. I’m not very familiar with this type of wood although I’ve heard my father and grandfather talk about it as well as my son who knows so many woods, as he makes furniture, mixed with metal… More artistic. However his oldest son is a cabinet maker out in California. It’s interesting what we pass on. And I am an artist an interior designer but I studied architecture,& was raised on the farm & we build our own house right down to the ground and digging the basement and my mother stayed at home and made everything from scratch from our food to our clothes and I myself learned all of that and still do everything that both of my parents dead… Until cancer struck me. Yes I watch KZitem‘s and I am fascinated by everything you do! While I’ve been around horses & definitely nothing this big. My grandfather I should say my great grandfather came to the US from England with pairs of Clydesdales and Percherons as well as apple seedlings to start his farms and he became a very wealthy farmer in the Midwest and accomplish 10 farms to pass down to his 10 children. One of those was for my grandfather and one of those was for my grandfather so I was around slightly to clydesdales and Percherons. He also brought Morgan horses which I love and so did my father. We have many pictures of my father training and standing beside Morgan horses her late 20s in mid 30s in double breasted suits and a top hat. Grandfathers Apple Orchards were well known several states wide, end it was exciting to get to help on his farm and I learned a great deal more about gardening and Apple orchards so that when my father began our farm in or Jersey Gardens and livestock horses were no longer a part of my life as it was not a money making process as wore my children are born I know we weren’t Catholic, A society seems to think they should ask. So, I never saw what you did with the hollow end of the tree. Will you just leave it in the forest to just rot or will you take it back and burn it? I love how you run your farm on a schedule moving from one job to the next, pretty much according to the weather and I may be wrong but that’s what it seems like at least in the summertime and when it rains you go up into the Haymount and work and I’m fascinated so fascinated by your life as I watch more and more of your videos. I think you and your wife are genuinely kind and sincere people and I am so glad I found your website! God bless you both and your extended family😊♥️♥️

Very, very interesting. The cooperation between man and animal. Anyone who has ever cut down and processed a tree knows how difficult that is. Just imagine what the settlers had to do before they had draft horses. It took strong folks with willpower to transform the wilderness. This area in upstate New York must be very similar to Ohio in the early days. Ohio now includes manufacturing and farming but many of the trees have been stripped away. Our area was filled with a native population as was NY. The whole area is a beautiful place. I remember the first time I saw Montpelier Vermont. From my vantage point the golden dome seemed to be sticking out of the woodland. Very nice.

Can I add my 5 cents worth ( sure this is public medium). Hardwood trees not as big a fire hazard as softwood trees ( pines) . (Nick name for hardwood forests the asbestos forest). As for getting in the way Jim had Beech branches in his way when he cut down the Butternut tree . He just cut them up tossed a side . Just a note summer logging and winter logging which is best. I like winter logging because no tree leaves no bugs at all and soft snow for trees to land on when felling.Plus a nice camp fire to toast my sandwiches on my noon break. No fire hazard in winter and the local deer have a snack on the tree tops when Jim is not around. But sometimes you just have to do summer logging because you just have too (getter done). What do you prefer Jim I have the feeling the answer is both .

Jim, also, for me it would be interesting and instructive to listen to what you consider when you're selecting trees to cut for sawing down for wood to either use in building buildings; and for making furniture, cabinetry, interior trim, and the rest. I suppose you try to cut trees when a stand has too many trees for their overall good growth & health. What's an overall minimum diameter of a tree you cut for any purpose other than firewood, fence posts, or other non-bulding uses? Yes, general recommended practices and things a forestrr, like yourself, considers for good woodland manage.ent?

Not that I'm going into logging, but it does seem to be an important consideration for someone who buys a woodlot with the intention of logging it.

Do you leave appropriate trees for animal habitat like this Butternut with the ready made home for critters? My neighbor often leaves non safety threatening trees standing for bird and animal habitat even though the trees are often unsightly. I benefit by woodpeckers nesting in these trees and they visit my feeders in droves. Thanks for sharing

I do quite often, especially if I have a grubby tree that has no value. The animals don't care about the value of the tree.

Cabinetry and turnery becoming rare butternut canker (Siococcus clavigignenti juglandacearum) a fatal disease. I looked this from my forestry book Forest Trees of Canada by John Laird Farrar . Great book (Chapter's ) not cheap to buy.

Who owns all the land where you get the trees?

Jim owns some land and other times buys the trees of other land owners.The agreement to buy trees is private deal . Many land owners like horse loggers because they do not tear up the land like mechanized loggers .

can you teach us how to tell which is Lady and which is Bill? Especially when they are hitched up

Sitting the drivers seat, Lady is usually on the left and Bill on the right. But he does try to change them up a little by switching them or using one of Percherons with one of the Belgians. Usually I just look for Bill’s beautiful wavy tail!
