Petting Farm at Richer Rodeo and Hay Barn id Full!

moving the [Music] herd welcome to the 10 Acre Woods my name's Mark here's my daughter here all dressed for the rodeo uh so we're off to the Richer Rodeo for this weekend it is H Saturday the 10th of August uh and we do this uh every year go down set up a Petting Farm mobile heading Farm take some of the kid goats take uh well we don't really take our Pig anymore Charlie's gotten a little large uh but we'll take a variety of some animals and go down and uh show the people what we're all about and uh they get in there with the kids and uh they're excited to pet the animals so Tara's got the van here ready to load up let's get to it all right we're up to the what we call the loading dock it's just a small deck on the front of our mudro here we removed the railings uh we have some fencing we have a little ramp here for the animals to get in and then this other one uh just kind of goes across here kind of like kind of like that all right so there we go we'll come in and we flipped around the doors last weekend this is Tara's friend Jerry she's helping out today no that that can be shut yeah she's learning she's learning the process we have to get them all in here first take that and then we open them up so last weekend we uh flip this door around so now it's going to be a lot easier to get the animals out rather than uh messing around with the doors we also have hay coming in tomorrow morning which is going to make that much easier because our hay barn is actually full uh down near the end of the driveway so all that hay is going to be coming into this building which will feed off into the fall and then once it gets into the cold winter uh we'll have enough room in here from the hay that we used in the fall to move some of the animals in most of the animals will stay outside uh because they have a shelter they're out of the wind they're off the snow uh so they can handle minus 40 temperatures you'd be surprised but uh that sheep wool and even the hair the um there's a two layer of hair on the goats uh they the goats develop a fuzzy kind of under coating similar to a dog uh some breeds of dogs have uh underlays okay so we have onx on the right and little Tucker here uh so they're going to be loaded up they're coming down uh they love the uh the attention of the public yes yes we're going on a road trip kids and then Tiana sorry is out calling the

is and um we've been replaced apparently so we got down to richer Rodeo uh we've been there for the last three years and we were booked last year and uh they have another Farm there it's not really a Petting Farm because there's just uh some donkeys and some alpaca and some ducks and geese and they're all in cages and there's nobody in there it's just you kind of look over the fence so anyway we were told that um oh uh yeah we texted you guys uh meaning my wife uh well it's a landline and you can't really text a landline so um yeah we even contacted him cuz we you know needed some confirmation uh we sent him a couple emails in the last week didn't hear anything back and figured well it's got to still be on because they have a Petting Farm and they've booked Us in so but no lack of communication so um the girls are coming back Jerry and Tara Tiana came back with me they should be arriving any minute uh so yeah it's uh communicate just communicate so anyway it is what it is and uh I see the van just pulling into the driveway here uh we'll get the reactions of The Mamas they uh have quieted down since I just walked in oh they're screaming all right here we go Coco's quieter loud okay mam get away from the gate [Music] [Applause] there we go they're lined up no no you're coming out you're not going [Music] in and there's going to be some milk some drink in here who's going to be the first [Music] one yeah oh oh you can you can kind of tell because they right yeah they assume the position and Coco saying no no drinking you're old [Music] enough oh usually right away maybe The Mamas have fully weaned them yeah yeah Moana is saying the same thing she's like no you're not having any milk says come on Mama no looks like they're wind good job mamas so it's time to do some maintenance uh the dryer vent is right behind me it hasn't been cleaned out in a couple years uh and I've been wanting to do it so I picked up this here which is a uh it mounts to a drill and it's a brush that goes up in there so I thought I'd bring you along and uh show you what we find [Music] [Music] [Music] so it was a little Dusty uh nothing big came out which is good uh so that of course is the number one cause of uh house fires in North America cleaning your dryer vent so uh that tool I picked up uh I picked up you can get them at a lot of different places Amazon this one's a 10t length which is really all I need you can get a 30t or a 40t and they just it's a flexible cable that goes in so clean your dryer vents so now that I have this I'll be uh adding this to my annual checklist to make sure that it's uh clean and of course it makes your dryer work more efficiently well good morning it is now Sunday August 11th the sun is shining uh the goats are Ming and I just got a notification uh we've got a couple uh kids from down the street they're going to help out doing the hay this morning and looks like they're just showing up on their bicycles well Tara's just given the boys uh quick little Tour on where the hay is going uh the barn is currently full so that's great uh so we've got I think it's another 180 Bales I think there's 300 Bales in the barn 180 Bales uh are are going in the building here uh as well as uh in the pony shelter as well good morning Mamas and kids and Charlie little Tara threw out some grain here and did some feeding this morning oh you kids get along well what's going on over here a little pool time fun are there actually grains in there there are a couple grains in there yes a silly kids Moana Sheldon good morning Sheldon good morning good morning hi what are you doing hey good morning Tinker hi you got some feathers on your nose sniffing up some feathers off the ground turbo good morning hi how you doing oh py and the rest of the crew bronwin JJ Willow and George and Piper hi [Laughter] Piper so the uh hay has arrived so what we're going to do is we're going to unload it down at the hay barn and then we're going to tractor it up to this section here uh Tara has been fighting weeds and she has um managed to uh to kill a bunch of them with Roundup uh you can see here uh they are dying which is great so she doesn't want to add you know unloading here she doesn't want to add the seed from the hay to the grass or to the gravel uh and uh have it grow so she figures it's just easier uh if we unload it down here and then tractor it down part of the r got Pat Patrick and uh Jordan did the animals [Music] oh [Music] all right so that's it we've got the hay here and then now we're going to move down to the barn and um I don't know if you have animals or dogs that when food comes out and you're cooking and the dog's like right there right at your feet well we kind of have the same thing here with our ponies every time hay comes they are like do we get some so no they don't get some um now because there's a whole lot of grass here to eat uh they really like the hay and they are ponies so you don't want to feed them too much because they can get fat and do what's called foundering uh which is very bad for them so yep they're going to have to scr all of that luscious green grass uh that Billy is over there currently doing Billy you on your rock our little mountain goat our little rock goat loves his Rock so the hay is in here we go nicely packed just enough so we can get in get into the door and the pigeons pigeons are hanging out uh so there we go so this is the hay we'll use for the uh horses and and then the other hay is inside the building uh now here is the area we sent the uh the sheep on a mission for what was that last video I think last weekend uh so they took everything down with the exception of of course the stocks uh now what we do I think oh she has so if you look closely you can see little green flexs there um so this has been seated uh so we'll leave this uh we haven't uh had any rain in a little bit maybe we'll have to water it make sure it grows it should only take 2 weeks before we really start to see some good growth happening uh we planted this seed in another area and it didn't take long at all now we're coming into what we just call the mud room and and there we go this is packed as well so uh just find any little nook and cranny we can H but there's enough room to walk in right into the barn we just have to sweep this stuff up little bit uh little bit extra on the floor here and we have a new rooster so this is a Polish Rooster he doesn't have a name where is he going where's he going are you a scaredy cat scaredy rooster so this a Polish Rooster uh he came in uh two days ago I think it was and just because uh the people had too many roosters and I guess they were they were fighting so there's another rooster I think coming in uh on wednes day I think it is he's making his way around the barn where you going where you going you're confused all right so uh in here we've packed the hay in here so 18 180 Bales is what this is I've got some more over here and yeah it was uh it's 600 Bales in the barn I mentioned 300 Bales earlier but it's 300 bales per load uh so that 600 and this 180 uh will be more than enough for a year we always like to have extra on hand CU you never know what's going to happen uh and if there's other people that run out of hay which quite often happens especially with Farms that uh have just kind of started out they're not really sure how much hay to feed and how far it's going to go uh so by next SP spring uh we should have well this will all be gone uh most of it in here will be gone uh in around the cold temperatures probably into november-ish uh and then we can bring in some animals if necessary into here we will bring in generally onx and um we'll bring in Tucker as well uh and we might bring in a few other ones but all in all they're fine out in the uh in the shelter cuz they're off the snow out of the elements um and out of the wind so in here we have the uh the three rabbits and then the frizzles uh and then we've got Penny's uh little chicks over here that she had hatched out is it time for your Siesta yeah George where's everybody else oh they're all they're all relaxing over here the afternoon Siesta you guys eat too much well that's it for another video uh if you missed the midweek video we uh we actually graded our driveway we tried out a couple products for bever um so if you haven't seen that one uh check up here uh and uh see how how we made out anyway until next video have a wonderful week and we'll see you then take care [Music]
