The video captures a early‑morning routine on a mobile‑sawmill homestead. Speaker A narrates his physical discomfort (back pain) and uses work as therapy, while checking in with the group. The family discusses recent events: a newborn baby’s mother’s hospital visit, Becky’s mother’s birthday, and plans for gifts. They coordinate chores such as moving sawdust, stacking pallets, handling wood, and feeding livestock. Detailed animal‑care moments include checking on lambs, feeding chickens, managing hay, and weaning calves. The conversation also covers practical concerns like using sawdust in the chicken pen, storing wood for a shed, and dealing with upcoming rain. Throughout, the tone is informal, supportive, and occasionally humorous, reflecting the close‑knit dynamics of a working farm family.
Chapters
It's cold, just starting to get light. My back's feeling better today, not 100%, but better than yesterday. I've only had one shooting pain as opposed to yesterday having 4 shooting pains by this time, and those causing me to lose my religion, you know what I mean, involuntarily. It's cold out here, probably 45. The reason I do this is because this seems to be what's helping the most. Can't think about it too long, you just got to do it. I had to miss chores yesterday and I feel bad. I don't like doing that. I want to get back on it today, so hopefully this will do the trick. Good morning, guys. You sore? You all right? What's going on in here?
What's happening?
What people really want to know is how's the baby's mama? After the hospital visit yesterday.
I'm actually really good. I feel great and I slept great. He's a champion sleeper. Today's my mom's birthday and I'm making— I'm getting her—
Last minute.
I'm doing—
Shopping, Becky.
I'm trying to find something at Whole Foods. Flowers, because they deliver. Oh, you know what else? There's other things that deliver.
Target delivers.
I know, that's what I'm saying.
Hey guys, are there any baby lambs?
Yeah, I know that. I don't think they even got babies in them.
Oh gosh, they first— that one for sure got babies. Mr. Brown, you can't go do chores in that. Come on, get dressed. Somebody hadn't gotten the eggs in a while. Look at this. And somebody just started laying eggs. Normal egg, little tiny egg. Hey, Gideon, you made it! Look at this. Wow. Okay, the pretty shawl just passed the ease of move test. My back is all to pieces and I just moved it, no problem. Gideon, come! Come be with me. Look what I found— your boots. You guys like that? They love it. Give them some roughage just in case. They've been eating 2 flakes of hay plus this grass, so it's not quite enough grass in here for them yet. Teddy, looks like the sawmill guys are back. Okay, the wood guy needs more pallets. Is that one? Well, there's two right there. Two there, and then let's just take that hay off that one. We got three. Aram, my main man, thanks for doing the chores yesterday. How's your back? I'm seeing— we better keep you strong, buddy. Oh my goodness, what did you guys do?
What did Gideon do?
Oh, three buckets of sawdust.
Why?
4. What are you gonna do with all the sawdust?
I was gonna use it in the chicken pen, but then you guys shut down that idea.
Yeah, it's bad. It's, it's, it's, it's so fine. It gets wet and it gets like cement. We think that stack there is enough to actually do our shed, so we're looking at Where else we're gonna stack the rest of this? We have this shed over here. I'm kind of thinking right in here. Well, we just put it down, now we're putting it back up. The shed will work, so he's got to stack it outside the shed and then we got to stack it inside. Rain's coming Thursday, maybe today. Yeah, I better not do this. You guys push, I'll just do it a little bit. Ready? Go! He can only bring the wood to here. It'll be stacked here and then Arun will stack it in the back. Any sheep babies? No sheep babies. Today's Tuesday. Let's see, we had our first babies on Thursday. Oh my, look who's out and about running around. I bet I can't catch them now. Can I catch them, Arun? Yeah, you know, catching them— we have to get them into the stall. Look. Look how little. Still, but you're getting frisky. Oh, you're getting frisky. It's getting harder to catch you. Come here, come here.
I got you.
I won't hurt you. Hey, Mama, I won't hurt him, okay? Just give me a little lamb hug. It's all right. You're doing good. You're doing so good. It's okay, Mama. It's all right. I want him to handle the other one a little bit. She's a little bit bigger. Come here, come here, come here. It's okay, it's all right. Well, he's thick. This one's bigger. We won't get— we're just trying to get him used to us a little bit. Probably won't— I mean, once you get out in the field, I don't think there's gonna be any catching you. Yeah, you know it's time to wean when the calf is as tall as the mother while weaning. She'll actually get weaned when we take everybody out to pasture. We'll put the cows out on the 15th, move them, put the sheep where they were, and then the next day put the pigs in here. Polly will move out with the sheep and be done nursing. The calf's getting smart. He knows not to give me an inch now. Hey, thanks for getting the hay, man. Sheep, sheep, sheep, sheep! Everybody come on! Sheep, sheep, sheep! Everybody comes flocking into this. Who's next? Who's gonna give us the babies next? Any day. This is my chance to get to pet everybody. Little babies don't care. Is that it eating a little bit of hay? I think they're getting a little bit of hay already.
You're gonna change out the blade? Yeah.
How old is this machine? I bet it'd be 23 in June. That's doing pretty good then, wouldn't you say? You sharpen those at home? Yeah. Okay. Look at this, Becky! Yeah, what's the occasion?
It's Grandma's birthday.
You put together a beautiful bouquet. I think she'll love it. Jonah's holding the little baby. You're doing a good big brother.
Good job, buddy.
I'm starting to feel better. Uh, chores exasperated it, but I was able to rest a little bit, do some office work. It hasn't hurt it. Mom is starting her own floral company. She's feeling so good. You're funny. Look who's awake and happy. Hey, are you looking at us yet? Oh, look, Beck, he almost looking at me. He's there. Almost, almost. Oh, you know my voice. You know my— am I— you know what I am? When my voice comes around, he soon gets to Mama. Am I the delivery man? I'm the delivery man. You soon get a dry bum. You think she's gonna like them? I hope. She's hard to shop for. Yes, she's got everything.
Very hard to shop for.
Well, what she really needs is a gift certificate to the Goodwill. I don't think they sell those though, because that's where she likes to shop the most. She calls it the Thrifty.
Hello! Happy birthday, Grandma!
Wow!
We were cleaning up the floor. It's a chocolate bar too. Oh, my favorite.
Hazelnut.
You like that, don't you?
I thought you did like hazelnut.
Hand this to Rachel.
That's because they don't have a gift certificate to the Goodwill.
That's right.
That's probably what you really want, right? We'll have to give you some cash money.
Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Grandma. Happy birthday to you.
Look at some of them are firing up. You see, they're sparkling. They're cute.
