$10K on 2K Cattle - Registered Black Angus
Рет қаралды 67,503
Жыл бұрынI decided to spend a little extra money this year to add one more registered bull and my first registered heifer. By registering animals, buyers typically will pay more.

How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZfaq channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

My Dad rented his first farm in 1959 in Moss Lake Washington. It was 600 irrigated acers and had a herd of 200 registered Black Angus cows and calves. It had two bulls. i remember the biggest one was pure and named Calipso he weighed 2200 pounds.

Ryan I always look forward to your yearly 2K video. Just wondering why you don’t flush embryos form your new 2K heifer and breed them to a high powered register angus and put them back in some mama cows you got? This could help build your registered herd quicker and have a little bit higher quality. Price and regulations might be pretty different in Wisconsin but here in North Texas we can get it done pretty fast and economically. Keep up your amazing work and I love your Snapchat.

The Growth fund cattle are excellent, this was a nice bull you purchased from Kevin. Your calves will grow and finish out nice. He's a older bull but I still use him every year on my farm to breed AI.

You have to spend more money to get what you want Ryan so keep that in mind when you’re buying cattle or equipment for your operation

Best way to change your herd over to registered is a exstensive e.t. program. You could have at least 50 percent of your calves be registered in your first year. We sort 80 percent of our eggs for heifer calves. Eggs are cheaper than buying a entire herd of registered females.

I had no idea they did embryo transfers in cattle, this will be something to talk to our vet about!

You should look into embryos to get into reg angus. Use your cows as recips. Actually think you could have gotten a better EPD rated bull cheaper then what you paid by what I know and who I follow. Good luck with your Yearling bull and the bred heifer
@e.a.bfarms Жыл бұрын
You made the comment about not buying another bull for a while. Do you not plan on keeping back any heifer calves from them?
@eddeetz493 Жыл бұрын
Great work on the genetics upgrade purchase. Good luck with no opens and healthy calves. Do you use optimizer for scours treatment? Sonne Farms is a believer. Good luck with spring dry weather to get into those fields.

Grandpa had a grinder like yours, only time I wasn't cleaning barns or throwing idiot blocks. Mixing feed was a job that was fun except for feeding from a buggy wheel cart that was a bear to move across the yard. Only one tractor with a bucket loader for doo doo clean up. Mixing your own feed saves bank. One day I hope you get into the jerkey resale business and direct meat sales following Our Whyoming Life sales model. There's 80% of the profit left on the table once you resell feeder animals. The regulations are so overbearing that the system forces growers to take peanuts vs sharing fairly. It's time to regulate the industry to prevent price fixing. There will continue to be screw you shortages weather fire, virus or walk outs. They crap on everybody but the profit margin. Sure would help when it comes time to buy land. In Mondovi we had a great locker plant, made great cuts, sausage, butt bacon, venison sausage using added pork fat and seasonings in rings. I still miss the venison.

When you put the bulls and cows together, do you match the genetic characteristics for best possible outcome? (This question comes from a non farmer.). Great video Ryan.

How about artificial insemination instead of expensive bulls for that limited amount of breeding? I'm A former dairy farmer and did my own AI
@HowFarmsWork Жыл бұрын
Problem is then you can only run them through the chute in order to get them bred. Saves time having bulls do the work for you.

@@HowFarmsWork and they're experts at heat detection too 🤗....but can be dangerous to have around There are heat synchronization products to have them come into heat all at the same time too , takes about 2 weeks and 2 trips through the chutes but semen would be cheaper than feeding A bull year round, just a opinion
