I just love how loving all 9f the animals are! Especially the sheep! I bottle fed a Suffolk Ram, and he was so sweet! He actually belonged to my son. He named him Aires because that was his birth sign. I loved it. There was also a barred rock rooster that adored my son as well. He would run to greet him when he came home from school ❤ I miss our little farm of orphans 🥰

One, of many, of the best parts of your videos is that you intersperse short clips of the sheep and Kenji and horse riding along with see-saw play on a long board. Family. I love to see what a wholesome family is like. Your videos brighten my Saturday. I look forward to watching them before I check emails or browse the net. Thank you. Grandpa Steve likes the white horse even though I don't ride and have not been on a horse in over 30 years. Your videos are the real "family values."

This was a nostalgic episode for me. I was brought to tears watching your family with the horse you were considering to purchase. My son was 11 years old when we bought our first horse. He wanted a Paint and we found the sweetest, gentle mare with a little brown heart "patch" on her rump. My son named her Apache and we called her Patch for short. He made so many good memories with her. He is 54 yrs old now, but his love for horses has remained strong! You may never know the joy you bring to the lives of your viewers so I had to share my story. Thank you for sharing your live adventures with us! Blessings and Love!

We got into our station wagon and drove over to see the sheep. Ninety minutes later he loaded 2 full size sheep into the back of the station wagon and brought them home. We already had a barn up behind our house so all we had to do was put a fence up. They were ver gentle with my son surprisingly.

We got another few inches up here too, but so far this has been a pretty much snow free winter for us (My 1st one in 24 years in Saskatchewan). I have only had to plow twice all winter, and normally by this time of year, I have plowed 8-10 times. Loved seeing Eli playing with an airplane! That means he still has his heart set on flying. Maybe he will become a rodeo pilot lol. As always, sending love from our acreage to yours.

well this is a day late and a dollar short, but if you dust yourself with baby powder before insulation, it will keep it out of your pores. also start your shower cold instead of hot, the heat will open your pores more and let fiberglass in, the cold will shut your pores then clean with heated water. also NVH makes cancer stuff for animals, a bit pricey but well worth it for Kenji's long term!

I’m terrible at parting with horses. I live alone, had 3 great horses. A friend needed a good one and she was always riding one of mine. Finally after a year or so I gave one up with the agreement that he’d come back if he don’t work out. However, there’s nothing wrong with buying a horse thinking it’s the right one, then months or years later selling it for your and his benefit. My horse got way more attention at my friends place. Horses adapt. They make new friends. If the next one don’t work out you’ll do your best to find the right (or previous) home for it. That white one I can see comin home with us though. Lol
