03:56we want an extra cute one yeah like big ears big eyes

04:01auctions scare me a little bit

04:03what if the price keeps going up and we have very little budget

04:07so hopefully everybody will play nice and we'll all be able to get our animals at a decent price

04:14if there's a baby goat we're getting it at the auction okay

04:40the important thing is that we get you feeling better

04:43good thing they're headed somewhere they can pick up a new kid

04:49baby girl

04:52look at the chickens

04:55melissa

04:57hello

04:58welcome to the auction

05:01thank you

05:03modern homesteader melissa will be their auctioneer

05:07she rears a hundred percent of the meat and eggs her family eat

05:12so knows a thing or two about livestock

05:15here we've got pamphlets that are going to let you know about the lot

05:19take a peek

05:21what's a good morning to your homes

05:23how y'all doing

05:24good how are you

05:25panorix

05:26hello now

05:26you alright

05:27this is a really big moment for the homesteaders

05:31what are these

05:32these are pigs

05:34when you're looking to provide for your family

05:37your livestock is essential

05:39you might have money

05:41but you might not be able to get to the store

05:43the store might not even have what you need

05:46so they really need to get into that 1880s mindset

05:49so the pressure's on our families to pick the right lot

05:54all right so this is lot one

05:56starting price is four dollars ten

05:58one fat cow

06:00one young calf

06:01five chickens

06:02two turkeys as well

06:04they're ugly things

06:06i know

06:07ew i don't want them

06:08that one's eyeballing me right now

06:10hey

06:11i told you

06:12i don't like them

06:13so this is lot two

06:14starting price of a dollar eighty

06:16you get ten chickens

06:18one goat

06:20two kids

06:21and two fat pigs

06:23can you milk it

06:24no

06:25who wants to drink pig milk

06:27i don't know

06:28so this is lot three guys

06:30the starting price

06:31four fifty

06:32one fat cow

06:34one fat goat

06:35and two kids

06:37five chickens

06:38i don't want no turkeys

06:47so i'm thinking lot three would be the one

06:49definitely lot three

06:50the lopers are turned off from the turkeys

06:54but when you harvest that turkey

06:56that's like the size of three or four chickens

06:58it's actually an incredible meat source

07:01if we see somebody going out to lot three aggressively

07:03i'm willing to get into a beating one

07:05get me number three

07:07but the halls have their eye on the same lot

07:12it's a baby

07:14it's a baby

07:14i need that

07:16that would be the best birthday gift

07:18all right jet

07:20we want lot three

07:21no matter what

07:22we'll have to outbid everybody

07:23it's jet's birthday today

07:24and he really wants that goat

07:26if i have to spend more money

07:28and fight for a little bit i will

07:29the battle's on

07:31while the halls follow their heart

07:35lot number three for the hall

07:37the hannah rigs are all business

07:40the benefit with lot number two

07:42is chickens are going to start producing immediately

07:45they're the daily payout

07:46pigs are long-term payout

07:49so the goal is to fatten them up

07:51okay i want it

07:52in my 21st century life

07:55i would be looking at a spreadsheet evaluating returns on investment

07:59um here i'm putting those analytics to work because i'm trying to determine what's generated

08:03immediately versus at the end

08:06lot two is the cheapest at half the cost

08:09the hannah rigs are like how do we maximize this investment and that's exactly how a homesteader would have to think

08:15so the 1880s mindset is there

08:17what is our max bidding price on lot two

08:21maybe 240

08:22all right guys we can have everybody take their positions

08:30the families have limited funds

08:33so we'll need to land their favorites at the right price

08:38welcome to the county auction

11:14got a little excited

11:16my adrenaline was rushing

11:26all right on to the next

11:27okay

11:28that's fine we see how you play

11:30we're a very close family

11:32so it's hard for me

11:34to see my family get heated and emotional

11:37it's getting hot in here

11:40i think my dad was antagonizing them and i really do think that's why they kept going

11:45we did get what we wanted but we did spend double the price

11:50yeah

12:26it was hard to watch definitely when we're supposed to be a community

12:32i want everyone to be kind to each other

12:35knowing my family i think it'll definitely take a lot to regain that trust trust yeah

12:48so i feel as though it's my mission as the peacekeeper to bring everyone back together

12:53but i do think it's going to be a very very hard task

12:58that's not the only hard task

13:09no not so fast

13:17looks like buying our animals might have been the easy bit

13:47corned beef hash out of a can out of a can

13:50tomorrow we wake up with eggs in our future

13:54eggs baby milk in our future

13:55That sounds pretty darn good.

13:58If we were back home, this is like buying a vehicle.

14:01Leather seats, heated seats, yeah.

14:04I'm starting to feel a lot more country.

14:06I mean, I got the clothes on, I got the chickens,

14:09I got the cows.

14:10This is country mania right here.

14:12Piggy Eilish!

14:14She's got like a strut.

14:16Oh, my gosh.

14:18What is he doing?

14:21Are we supposed to clean the water every day?

14:22Do we have to empty it first?

14:23They can drink dirty water?

14:25Do you have to muck pigs?

14:27Do they have big poop or little poop?

14:30How do we teach them like tricks and stuff?

14:32Like sit, sit.

14:34Look at the milk.

14:35Yeah, I know.

14:36Now how do we get it out?

14:37What do you want to be called?

14:39It has to be something cute.

14:40Yeah.

14:41What about peaches?

14:43Peaches, that's so cute.

14:44You guys like peaches for the cow?

14:46These animals will help sustain our families with eggs, milk,

14:51and if need be, the ultimate sacrifice.

14:55What can we do with these to make our money worth it?

14:57Eventually, when they're grown, they'll only be good for meat.

15:00What the heck?

15:01We're not ever going to turn them into meat.

15:03We're keeping them as pets, period.

15:05We're keeping them as pets, period.

15:17What?

15:18What?

15:28Hi, Nugget!

15:30Here we go!

15:34You're so cute.

15:35I could just eat you.

15:38Just kidding.

15:39okay i need you to lay some eggs girlfriend your rent is due same goes for everyone else pay up

15:49you ready to pick some eggs

15:53in the 1880s children were expected to look after livestock from as young as four years old

16:08you got some eggs i see two so we got two three four five six

16:13daddy yeah man you know what time it is what time is it it's time for breakfast because we got some

16:21eggs oh yeah no can you wait it's my original ethan and lucas no this is actually mine stop ethan please

16:31stop but not everyone cares for a to-do list stop motivating the boys has been a challenge

16:39they simply just don't want to do the stuff i feel like everyone's pulling their weight except

16:46jet he has to do more because we're all doing a lot and he can't be playing around all the time

16:51it smells so good

16:57these eggs are delicious i know right

17:05if the food continues to get better the experience will get better

17:11while living on the frontier the families have clear goals

17:15mama could you please pass me the almanac yes sir cultivating the land the hard stuff begins now

17:24now you have livestock you can move on to your next goal plowing oh this is going to be a lot

17:31crops were planted to strict seasonal deadlines so that you have one week to sell your crop

17:36if you fail there will be nothing to harvest

17:39okay uh-oh uh-oh indeed harvesting a crop was an essential part of proving up the land

17:47and the families only have a short window to get the job done

17:52so the pressure's on

17:54it is hard manual work usually done by men and boys

17:59it's you and me jack yeah ready to get to work jack i guess so yeah

18:04but we got to work it's just how it is how do we even plow a field i don't know

18:11but it sounds like one of us needs to go

18:14and we need to divide and conquer at this point

18:17yeah it's gonna be full on manual work

18:20no machines yes okay so i'm gonna be out in the field all by myself

18:26and i'm gonna have to rely on the boys

18:29because that type of manual labor they're just not ready for it

18:32for the older kids no such luck all right boys so look once we finish our breakfast here

18:42let's put our work clothes and gear on and we'll get to the field

18:45all right

18:46being an 1880s kid you know there's a lot of responsibility coming on you

18:50it's harder than i thought when i get home i'm not gonna complain about washing dishes

18:55folding clothes washing clothes

18:57mama what are the days work in the field like

19:01early rise in the field by the time the sun is rising

19:05it's gonna be hot

19:08tired

19:09and you're gonna want to give up but

19:12you gotta keep going

19:13gotta keep going

19:14the families need to harvest an acre of wheat

19:21in order to reach their goal

19:23oh man

19:26look at the horses

19:28aren't they beautiful

19:30yes

19:31they have no modern machinery

19:34instead they'll be plowing as people did for hundreds of years

19:38you ready to do some some manly work on the farm

19:42yeah manly work

19:44yeah

19:45i wonder how hard it is you know

19:48hopefully not too hard

19:49i'm joe

19:51dan

19:52hi dan

19:53you're by yourself joe

19:54i am yes the husband's back at home

19:56okay

19:56this is a two-man job

19:58okay

19:58so let's get right into business

20:01the team and the plow

20:05that's a dollar fifty

20:06and because you're here by yourself

20:09it's another dollar fifty

20:10for my help

20:11okay

20:12so i'll run the horses

20:14you run the plow

20:15okay

20:15thankfully we got our lot of animals at a super cheap price

20:21so we can afford this

20:22but if we don't get this done

20:24and done properly

20:26there'll be nothing to harvest

20:27everything is kind of riding on this

20:30ideally you're going to work it yourself with your with your boys

20:34it's been a long time since i did this type of activity

20:37and my boys have never had this type of experience

20:39so i need your assistant

20:40on the frontier

20:44children will work a team of horses from the age of 10

20:48i think you can handle those horses kid

20:51we definitely want to give it a shot

20:53if jack can get this today

20:55i think he's going to go home feeling like a hero

20:57because at the auction we don't have a lot of money to be spending right now

21:01and we have to have our six dollars for the lance certificate

21:04at the end of this

21:05so it's really important not to go home

21:08like we couldn't do it so we had to hire some guys

21:10that would crush us i think

21:12abel baker step

21:17the plow cuts through the ground

21:21turning over the soil

21:23so it's ready to seed

21:24easy

21:26this is some hard ground

21:33we've got a rock seam right through the middle

21:36it's challenging

21:38the condition of the land homesteaders were given

21:42was all down to chance

21:43it could be a fertile plot

21:47that had been farmed in the past

21:49or rocky terrain

21:51making plowing tougher

21:53rocks everywhere

21:54i've done this a time or two

21:57when i was younger

21:58but our fields were already prepped

22:00this is a whole lot more complicated

22:02than i thought it was going to be

22:04nothing like breaking new ground

22:05boys

22:07we have to move these rocks

22:08i don't like anything about this

22:14hey

22:15yes sir

36:18having mr mike and his team was invaluable

37:00but now the cows giving us lots of milk

37:02so that makes me feel accomplished

37:05but lots of milk and no fridges

37:08meant that frontier families would have to turn any excess into butter

37:13cheese

37:55first to make ice cream you need

37:57the churn

37:59and then of course you need

38:01that's ice?

38:02you got it mia

38:04it's a 50 pound block at the stuff

38:08cut out of lakes and rivers

38:11and sold in blocks

38:13we're gonna have an ice cream party

38:15we need a bunch of strawberries

38:16we can put it in there

38:23thank you

38:25so here's the plan

38:27we make ice cream

38:31this could bring the community together

38:33we just got dropped off some things

38:36to make ice cream

38:37Mia wants to have an ice cream party

38:39what?

38:41well the plan is to invite all the

38:48they can come too

38:50oh

38:52i'm not really good with a lot of people

39:25who knew

39:29potatoes grew like this

39:31oh that's a good one

39:33wow

39:35it's a little bit of a rough terrain

39:37without telephones or email

39:40inviting people to a party meant a long walk

39:44hello?

39:46hi!

39:47so pretty over here

39:48thank you

39:49i didn't realize you guys are like on such a nice hill

40:15perfect

40:16we got a recipe for fudge

40:28i hope that we can reconcile

40:30this is a lot of firsts for me

40:33making fudge

40:35milking a cow

40:37cleaning the house

40:38mopping the floor

40:48so we can start packing it

40:50the halls are busy churning the all-important ice cream

40:54one, two, three, four

41:37This is something of the toughest work I've ever done.

41:39Woo!

41:40Being out here by myself, man.

41:47Hey, man.

41:48Hey.

41:49What you doing up here?

41:50Just came to bring you your lunch.

41:53Oh, but look here, what you think?

41:55Dang, y'all got it done.

41:58Almost.

42:00So what's up with you, man?

42:02I just wanted to, you know, come and apologize.

42:06You know, after thinking about it, I know how you feel.

42:09And we're too blessed to be crying about work.

42:12Right.

42:13I know sometimes it feels like, man, Dad doesn't let up.

42:17And I'll do a better job at that.

42:19But that's the thing I need you to tell me.

42:21So when I ask you, is there anything wrong with you,

42:24and you say nothing, guess what I'm going to think wrong with you?

42:27Nothing.

42:28Oh, yeah.

42:29So just talk to me.

42:30Tell me sometime, Dad, you've been a little too hard on me.

42:32Yeah.

42:33And I may back off for a little while,

42:35but I'm coming right back.

42:36Yeah, I already know.

42:39So are you going to stay around while we do the work?

42:41Yes, sir.

42:42You are?

42:43Thank you, man.

42:44Me too.

42:45I love you, man.

42:47Still my boy.

42:48Yes, sir.

42:48OK.

42:50I love my dad.

42:51It was really good to have a really good talk with him.

42:53It felt like an entire wave being lifted off my shoulders.

42:57He's the reason why people always tell me, oh, my gosh,

43:00Lenny, you're so mature for your age.

43:02But sometimes I just want some freedom.

43:13Mommy.

43:15Hi.

43:16We're back.

43:17Great timing, because I'm ready to set up this party.

43:23Perfect.

43:26Wow.

43:27Oh, my gosh.

43:28It's so good.

43:30Where is everybody?

43:32I see a table.

43:33Table of ice cream.

43:42How are you?

43:45Lenny, I want you up front, because you got the invite.

43:49It's the first time that we're going to see the halls

43:51since the auction.

43:52I am a bit nervous.

43:54Yeah, we got people coming in.

43:58Hey, how y'all doing?

44:00How you doing?

44:01Hey, Lena.

44:02How you doing, sweetie?

44:03I'm OK.

44:04Marvelous.

44:05We bought fudge.

44:06Hey, Jeremy, how are you?

44:07Hi, how are you?

44:08Good.

44:08How are you?

44:09Wonderful.

44:10I didn't really want to invite everybody

44:14to the ice cream social.

44:16You know, for me, they are who they are.

44:18We are who we are.

44:19We're not looking to change them.

44:21And we're not going to change ourselves.

44:24So we'll see what happens.

44:26That looks amazing.

44:28Listen, a small scoop for me.

44:31Nothing big.

44:32OK, we're going to get the kids served real quick first.

44:34Yeah, no problem.

44:36Like a tiny scoop, a tiny scoop.

44:38Smaller than that.

44:39OK.

44:40I mean, it's awkward.

44:43It's extremely, like, weird.

44:47That's good.

44:48Thank you so much.

44:49I just really want the kids to have a good time.

44:52There we go.

44:53And I just want to move on from this.

44:56So it's good?

44:56Mm-hmm.

44:58I might have to get seconds, bro.

45:00Ooh.

45:01You guys host, like, a lot of parties back home?

45:04Back home, yes.

45:05You do?

45:05We have a margarita machine that, like, is a hit with everybody.

45:08Oh, that's great.

45:09That's funny.

45:10I don't know if it's here.

45:11Let's sing for He's a Jolly Good Fellow.

45:13OK.

45:14All right.

45:15Oh, my God.

45:16So we've got to get our bows up to Jet.

45:19Yeah.

45:20Happy birthday, Jet.

45:21Happy birthday, Jet.

45:23For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, for He's a Jolly Good Fellow, for He's a Jolly Good Fellow,

45:31which nobody can deny.

45:34Woo!

45:36This is so good.

45:37Yeah.

45:38I'm glad you like it.

45:41It has been extremely tough from a social aspect for the kids.

45:44You know, back home, they've got school that they go to.

45:47They also have soccer practice.

45:49They have all these new chores and responsibilities.

45:52They're missing their friends.

45:55So this is like a breath of fresh air.

45:58It's just, it's just good to see the boys be boys.

46:00Hey, I'm coming.

46:01No.

46:02No, you're not.

46:03Yes, I am.

46:04Those are my goats.

46:05We've got to get in there first.

46:06They're actually the cutest things.

46:09In the frontier.

46:10I hate how they poop little pellets.

46:12Our pigs only poop and pee in one space.

46:15And now we're starting to think they poo in their water trough because they lay in it.

46:19And then we see bubbles coming out of their butt.

46:21Ew.

46:22I think the party was great.

46:24Who doesn't love ice cream?

46:26I love getting together with the other frontier kids.

46:30There's no tension.

46:31There's no beef.

46:32I just kind of wish the adults would move on and make friends and ease up.

46:38We're going to get up out of here.

46:39Cool.

46:40I'm hoping the auction is all just water under the bridge, but I'm not so sure.

46:45What?

46:46I guess the pool is all just water under the bridge.

46:47I'm not so sure.

46:48I'm really sorry about it.

46:49I'm here.
