In this informal family farm vlog, the host (Speaker A) guides viewers through a busy day of chores on the homestead. The crew moves cows, milks a cow named Flossie, and feeds chickens and a goat named Moose. A central focus is helping Grandma install a new gate/quick‑connect post for her chicken fence, including fitting zip ties and a lead‑free garden hose with stainless‑steel fittings. The family discusses Grandma’s decision to “opt out” of buying store‑bought eggs, highlighting a move toward self‑sufficiency. Throughout, the participants—Grandma, Jonah, Brianna, Speaker D, and others—exchange playful banter, demonstrate animal handling techniques, and mention plans to film opt‑out content for a member‑only area. The video blends instructional moments (animal care, fence installation, tool upgrades) with light‑hearted family interaction.

When we were in Texas, we told Joe from Her Marijuana we lost one of our pieces to our gate. Grandma needs a gate. I think this is a gate. Thank you, Joe. Let's take it to Grandma now. You're slouching.
Okay, I think we just missed that entire shot.
Let's try again.
We're gonna be on a roll like we were yesterday.
Really? What do you mean?
I don't know, we've already got your cows in.
Nice, it's only 7:40. Yeah, I'm almost ready. Mr. Brown, you almost ready?
No, you're right.
Okay, um, do you want— today's a move day, so do you want to move while I'm milking? You want to move the cows?
I'm gonna start doing that.
Okay, then I want both those, if you don't mind. Get both those down there to the pigs today, okay? Rotten squash and food scraps. I've helped him get ready this morning. He claims he wants to go. Hopefully he's going to stick with me today. Today's a new day, right? I didn't get ready. I didn't get you ready for just 10 minutes. Can we go 20? Can you actually go be by my side for a little while, help me milk? I see one of your play shoes. This is the game every day. I see one of your kings. Can't make this stuff up. We got left king. Oh, we got a right play shoe. Will you do it?
I think I know where the other play shoe is.
Oh good. Wow. You took the initiative and found it.
Watch this.
I'm watching. Good job. Papa. You want to carry— oh, let's see another jump. Really?
What?
Good job! Wow, how long you been doing that?
Not long.
I haven't done it before.
Wow, first time. Hey, there's your snow boots.
I know that. Can I listen to a movie?
You can't listen to a movie. If you want to listen to one of your audiobooks, you can. You want to do that? Yes or no? Wait, where are you going? Okay, your hand hurts, so where are you going? You're not leaving me already, are you? Offered you audiobook and everything. I tried. You're coming around, aren't you? Come on, you want to milk this cow with me? Wanna pet Moose with me? Wanna pet Moose with me? You can feed Moose.
Yeah, I got it.
I have to do that because he said my way.
You gave him some. You gave him quite a bit. Can you give Moose some? Hey, give Moose some.
Okay.
Oh yeah.
Get it in their bowl. We don't want it to fall on the floor. There you go. Did you just give her RC Gold?
Yeah.
And apple cider vinegar? Thank you. I had done it, but I really should have let him do it. Double won't hurt. Oh, you're gonna get the— you get in the main spot. There you go. Good deal. It's really funny, his body is doing—
you can look on the other side if you want.
All right, thank you. Thank you, boss. All right, you got it. You got that side good?
Yeah.
Have you lost interest? That's all right, you can climb and play around.
Okay, I'm gonna get her done.
When I do this by myself— who's in here? Yeah, so you will open this. Teach me how to get Flossie in by herself. So you kind of be like this, I guess, when you, you get her out. You might have to, you know, coax her along this way and then kind of jump behind this door.
So you don't stand back here and try to get her?
No, because she'll— this door, we, we don't have a way to like keep the door blocking. And even so, she busts right through here and knock over the apple cider vinegar and everything else. Okay, so you might have to get Joy for Somebody else put some pressure on her.
Hey Jonah, help me move Sausage. Let me switch out the cows real quick.
They're gonna move these cows. I'm gonna leave the— I'm gonna leave y'all with them, and I'm truly gonna be gone, and they're gonna be truly by themselves, and you're gonna show everybody how it's done. Okay, enjoy the show.
Oh, there is my item. Carefully, like a kid. Done. How do you guys use those forks? Where's the brush?
Go on, Mama, go on.
How'd they do? They do good. I'm sure they did good. How's it going? Great. She's actually giving the milk up real easy this time. Oh, good. Brianna came down and we had. We had started early and she said the early bird gets to milk flossy because flossy's easier. That's true. You want to help. What are you saying?
He wants to help milk the cow.
How does a cow go?
How'd they do? They do good? I'm sure they did good. How's it going?
Great. She's actually giving the milk up real easy this time.
Oh good. Brianna came down and we had— we had started early and she said the early bird gets the milk. Flossie, because Flossie's easier. That's true.
You want to help?
What are you saying? He wants to help milk the cow. How does a cow go? How does a cow go?
What do they say?
Well, I got Mr. Brown the first half and Wilder the second half. Oh, now that's okay. That's okay, we like to make compost too. Let's look at it though. You've been eating some grass. Thanks to this warm weather, some grass is coming down. I know that because it's a little more runny. It's really fiberish when they've been eating only hay. Fun fact: Cows are way more interested in getting milk than getting back out to the pasture. Come on, come on, come on, come on. It doesn't help that— get him, get him— put a ton of, uh, in there. Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go. Come on, come on, Miss Thing. Give her a little love tap. Come on. Phyllis just went to the right of the lane. Hopefully we can herd these guys in to the lane and then Phyllis won't follow them on the wrong side of the lane. They're good. Okay, we got that one in. Back her up and get her in the lane. We could put the lane up, but I think it's actually less effort even if they miss. To not put the lane up. Come on, drink you some water. Well, I got an hour to chores. Remember yesterday I talked to you about these special opt-out films I'm gonna make going into the spring launch to our member area? Grandma's got an awesome opt-out story. We're gonna go shoot some of her footage right now.
She's about to move her chickens.
Grandma's out waiting for me. Her birds are free. Birds are out and about.
Hello!
Hey, good afternoon!
Afternoon!
Look at them, they're getting their dirt bath. Oh, that one's very skittish.
Are they free right now, all like every day, or just because we're about to move them?
Just when I work outside. I've been, you know, digging up the bulbs and I let them out. See, I threw dirt under there.
They like it. Do they tear anything up?
No, but they poop all over the sidewalk.
Hey, that's evil chicken poo when that happens.
Right there, you go, you put it inside that net, it's holy chicken squat.
Yeah.
So it's kind of funny. What you got in the box?
Well, this is a present from Premier One.
Oh, that is—
you know what that is?
Oh yes, just to match it. Oh look, it's got a handle on it.
Yeah.
Oh, that will be nice.
And it has this little stomp too, so that's what it goes into. Oh, this goes through here.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, through that, right? And then that's your permanent post, so to speak. And this is your post that goes in and out. It's got to be untied.
And, uh, look, there's some zip ties. So I guess to make it really permanent—
make it— yes, to like zip tie this to your fence if you want to. That goes in there.
I'll try to do that. Oh, oh, I see it doesn't have a spike.
There's that.
Oh, that's cool.
So—
oh, this is nice.
There's that. See, we figured it out. There, let's do it.
Yeah, look at you guys are already in here, all but the brown one, right?
Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Grandma, you've got them tamed. That's also another sign of being a crazy chicken lady— tame chickens.
There you go.
You're gonna grab a quick connect? Do you want me to wait right here?
Yeah.
Okay. That hose has seen better days. I'm gonna get her a nice hose. That's a— it's a garden hose. They can have lead in them. I'm gonna get her a lead-free hose, kink-free hose, uh, stainless steel fittings. Nothing but the best for Grandma. And she's gonna give me one of her quick connects. We can always use quick connects. Have a good one. Thanks for letting me come up. Oh yeah, one of those things, man. Tools, you gotta have nice tools. You're gonna have nice tools, it makes it so much more pleasurable to work. Was not stored right. Grandma has a Jerry hose, we're gonna get her a nice hose. We got a gift, Grandma.
Oh man, that's somebody else, isn't it?
Isn't it, Rosie?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I didn't put it in. Um, nice. That is so nice.
Jonah, what do you think of Grandma having these chickens?
She's opting out.
I'm opting out.
Opting out. I did not— I did not frame that. I did not bring a good answer. What is she opting out of?
That's right, buying eggs from the store.
All right, Grandma, thank you. Good job opting out. All right, Jonah, here we're here at the cows. They're down in that paddock. Did you already move them? You moved them this morning, didn't you? Thank you. This is going to be kind of fun to get hay down to there. Oh, that's anticlimactic. Good shot. Almost. It does. The cows are here, the sheep are way over there. The calf's normally going with the sheep, but I'm thinking let's just take them home and the calves will be in the stall in the morning. That'll make morning chores easier. We could— or we could herd the cows over there and then back. So either way, we're moving cows, so we might as well cut into our chores in the morning. Uh-oh, just barely missed it.
There we go. He knew he was trying to take the shortcut. There we go.
Old routine, guys. Come on. Oh, Mom's in there.
I'm gonna go in there and get Mom out.
Okay.
All right, here she comes.
Okay, shut the door.
All right, good deal.
Let's get them some water and some hay. All the scraps?
All of it.
All right, you bring them in.
Here, pigs, come here, come here. Here, here, I got it.
