that at the end of this video. But that's prepping for a vacation. I've been working on this and I had to plan all this out months ago because the cows were way on the other side of the farm, way out there, and I had to make sure that they were right here prior to my vacation. There's so much planning, guys. You can become quite the prisoner to your farm and to your property. Here lately, I don't know, maybe this is discouraging. Maybe these are words of encouragement for other people that are considering homesteading and farming like this. Here lately, I've been scratching my head as to why am I doing this? Like, I want to raise good quality food. That's the reason why I'm doing this. I want to live a good, clean country life. That's why I'm doing this. But I'm working 60 and 70 hours a week to keep these 60 cows taken care of. It takes a lot of work and a lot of time and a lot of thought to build soil. Guys, I bought the farm about 10 years ago, me and my wife. I'm no longer married. I don't have any kids. I'm just doing it so I have a good, clean, quiet country life. But it's working me to death. I don't know. What do you guys think? Any of you guys own property? Any you guys have animals? Is it tough for you to go on vacation? Let me know, guys. It's a lot of planning and most people can't watch your farm. They just can't. Nobody knows how to do this kind of stuff anymore. Nobody knows animals. If there's a problem with an animal, I've got to saddle up and come back from the beach, handle that problem, and go back down. Isn't that crazy? Can't go anywhere. Imagine if I was going to Wyoming or going to the Grand Canyon. I don't know, guys. Thanks a lot. Let me know what you think. Are you a prisoner to your farm? Do you think I'm a prisoner to my farm? I don't think so. I think we got this. Take care, guys. We'll see you next time on the Stony Ridge. Hope you enjoyed the video. I got to go mow over there at them chickens and the yard and the sideyard and everything else. Take care. >> Come on down to the Stony Ridge. Bring
