In this vlog‑style video, Victor Justin Rhodes (Speaker A) walks viewers through a busy Saturday morning on his family farm. The day begins with a rushed schedule that includes a chiropractor visit and a follow‑up eye‑doctor appointment, where he receives positive news about his healing. The family then dives into a series of farm chores: milking cows (noting specific milk yields), moving animals, feeding and watering livestock, handling grain, and cleaning equipment. Children Jonah, Lily, and others actively help with tasks such as hauling water, operating tools, and caring for the animals, while Rebecca assists with garden work and repairs. Throughout the routine, Victor shares upcoming YouTube content, announcing a real‑time milking video, a live Intro to Permaculture class, and promoting his sons’ new channel, The Rhodes Bros. The vlog blends informal, conversational narration with instructional moments about permaculture practices (e.g., turning chicken waste into compost, using apple cider vinegar and RC Gold), and showcases family dynamics, humor, and the challenges of farm life.

The chiropractor and we're gonna go in and check up on my eye, see if it's healing right. I feel like it is. Starting to see a little bit of light, but where are my people? Hey, what have y'all been doing?
Uh, getting ready.
Okay, can you see enough, Lily? I already got you water, drinking water.
I, I got it in green.
Oh, that's true. You soaking grain for tomorrow? No. Or you having to wet it for today? Yeah. Well, the child tore open this pig bag. Those rogue chickens got in here and got it. Thank you for bringing the dust bag around this time. You hauling You want me to? You can decide. Bring her a bucket of water. We brought 2 clean pans out, taking 2 dirty pans in. Look at that perfect till job. I bet Stud has finally got his deed on. That happened last night. Yeah, cuz I see Stud, but I don't see Flossy anywhere. Oh gosh, I hope they're still not sleep. Oh my gosh, what is going on? It's 7:30, y'all still humping your shoes.
Dude, Randolph built this.
Yep, Randolph built it. You like it? Uh-huh.
Yeah, you don't need to close that. He's already super tall.
Papa, bring him up this way. Let's bring him up this way.
Oh, all right. Yeah, you notice he's a lot taller and a lot skinnier.
Ouch. Push him in there. There you go, Jenna. I don't really want to latch him. Actually, you can undo that pinchers. We don't need those. On, you know what I'm saying? Do you think you could get us an O-hook and drill it in there, and that way we can hook to that? Because I'm afraid he had not been— this— Lily, you and Joyful, can you pet Hamburger? That'd be y'all's job. You know, you guys only see— good morning to you too, Manny. You guys only see what 5 minutes maybe of the milking. It's like an hour and a half. I'm gonna show you all 1 hour and a half milking in real time, what it's really like. That's coming out Saturday. Oh, get me the, uh, I forgot the towels. Just up and got her foot on top of that and just pulled it down. Will you go get my pail over there and go fill— give 10 squirt— rinse it out, put 10 squirts of soap in it and fill it up halfway with warm water. Thank you.
Watch this, Grace. Oh, no, what?
It's smoke.
It's starting to burn. You have 4 fingers right here and your thumb like this, and then you wrap it around, and then you squeeze like this, and you put your tip of your fingers in it, and then that's how you do it. How many gallons do you usually get?
About that, 2 gallons right now. Okay, 2 gallons from her and a gallon and a half to 2 gallons from, uh, Phyllis. Get me flat lids and rings. 8:04 and we're already done milking one cow. One reason we started our chores early is because Because I'm gonna be gone all afternoon. We're gonna go ahead and move the animals this morning. Well, hey there! I'm seeing that you're getting up. Did Mom have to help you dress, or did you get dressed? Good boy. You want an apple too? Can you get me bowls for you guys? Now I got you an apple. Does that mean you're gonna come with? Yeah. Here. Okay, where are your shoes? Uh, do you want to wear some of these tennis shoes that are in clear sight?
Is it, is it, is it wet outside?
Not really. All right, well, that one doesn't have a match. There it is.
Yeah.
Oh, if you have one scoop, it'll be easy enough. Okay. All right, ready? Go ahead. Okay, then when you're done, do the apple cider vinegar and RC Gold. Okay, okay.
Can we play in the hay, please?
Sure, if you take your shoes off. Next up. So how's it going out there? Did, uh, you got the hay out for them? You gotta move all the way to the end. You help milk this round? Yeah. Okay, we had to get her some hay because I had to go get a battery for this camera, and she's done ate all the alfalfa. That's an interesting way to go about it.
I'm gonna get on her.
Oh, you're just gonna sit on her? Yeah. Good morning.
Good morning.
What you up to?
Um, I'm gonna go out, I guess, and help the kids.
Okay, good. Uh, we might have time since I edited to work on the garden. Okay.
Before pulling the tractor. That'd be awesome.
Get a little workout. I would love that.
Yeah, because we're not gonna get to work on it this afternoon.
Nope.
All right, I'm out here to check on the sheep and the cow moving job that the boys did.
Hey guys!
And ride them when they get bigger. We're not gonna ride these guys.
Sheep looking good. Did you guys move the luchadors?
We already moved them this morning.
Okay, did you, um, give them water?
Uh, yeah.
Hey guys, somebody needs to turn the Energizer on. Oh gosh, they got into a wire. Here, let's fix that wire.
Bye, Rebecca.
All right, so we're gonna garden. We're gonna garden some for a workout. We're just ahead of the game today.
We're doing things all backwards.
You found my white marker?
Yes, this is your one.
Okay, and we'll do our twine. I was gonna leave that to you, Hoss.
I can't do it, it's too heavy.
All right, should we put up that insulation first?
Oh, who is it in there?
They put the plug in there to get the hot water. The heated water and chicken. Cubes. I know. And it's not worth it if it doesn't freeze a lot.
Oh good, we're doing this. Yes. I said to him last night, I said, can we put that up? Because it's driving me crazy.
Having to look at it.
We need to finish putting the plastic up.
All right.
It's heavy, ain't it?
It's very heavy. —cost.
The last one that we got, that was exactly 100 feet, and Justin miscalculated. This one has an extra 5 feet on it. So that's nice. You have a little bit of room to mess up.
Look at your red. It looks like you've been sunburnt. I know. Oh my gosh.
It's crazy.
Hi. Looky here. Jonah, you got your steak and eggs, buddy. I'm dying. And is this bear? Yeah. Cool.
I wonder if bear and eggs is a thing.
We weren't sure if we'd like, uh, Jersey meat, but once we've had bear, it's, it's really delicious. I love it. Bear is the name of our Jersey steer that is right here. So tender, and the age we ate them at was perfect. Yeah, I think so. I think that worked out perfect. Mmm. Oh my, so tender. You did good, Beck. Bear. Yeah, Josiah's starting to hit publish. Go ahead, my man. And do you have your third one done? Uh, yeah, another unboxing. I think it's seeds. It is. Should be our pastures. Oh yeah, oh good. No, it's the boys' BB stuff. All right, this is it. We're gonna get the verdict on my eye. Is that the first appointment? Boom! Doctor said it looked great. So, did the drops well enough. He's still on drops, but much, much, much, much less. Mm-hmm. He pretty much saw no problems in there.
Yeah, he basically said— just wanted me to be careful for the next month. Yeah, like for the next month do the eye drops at night for sure.
And then— he said I was young and healthy, quick to heal. I'll remember that. I'll take that to heart. You would.
Is this the score, Jonah?
No, he said I still gotta bring him.
Oh, he's still coming in with some.
Okay. Hey, are you guys making a fort? No, I'm gonna sleep in it tonight. Oh, you're having a sleep and camp out party in the living room? Two things, guys. Two bonus videos this weekend. Saturday, you want to know what it's really like to milk a couple of cows? We're putting up a real-time video. I think it's like an hour and a half. It's gonna— I'm gonna say it's gonna be really good. It's gonna be really boring. If you're into this stuff, You're gonna really like it. Uh, maybe it'll be peaceful for those that aren't. So second thing is you're getting two bonuses this weekend. Sunday we're gonna go live at 8 PM for everybody. We're gonna do my first class in my Intro to Permaculture series, What Permaculture Gonna Do for You. We're gonna mainly talk about how to turn problems into solutions. So we could talk about like how I turn chicken doo-doo on my on my walkways from free-ranging chickens into holy chicken squat, working chickens on my garden, making compost with that. So, and the last thing—
I wouldn't watch it, I lived it.
Something for you now. Yeah, you lived it. Something for you right now. These boys, they've gotten 3 videos up on their new YouTube channel, The Rhodes Bros. I'm gonna leave the link for it down in the description.
