When I realized I was the last descendant of a multigenerational family of farmers dating back for hundreds of years. I watched it all fizzle away after my dad died. We sold all the farming equipment and a large portion of the property to pay for old farming debt. A few years later the bank took the farm house because of additional debt owed. Ever since then I’ve wondered what to with that land I inherited up there near Ocala. Ten years later I started my own cattle ranch not knowing much about cows or how to do it. I had my eight acre inheritance that was just an empty pasture. I purchased a ten year lease on the adjacent property and now operate on 16 acres, plus I got four more at my Aunts place next door. That gave me twenty acres to work with. I started the project last year in August of 2020 and work out there ever spare moment. Every chance I get I’m out there on my days off my regular day job. First thing I did was get a permit from the county for the construction project. Next thing I did was install a power pole for electric to the well pump. Then I trenched 800 feet to the well - and dug it three feet deep and then laid the 800 feet of electrical wire. I installed a 1 hp in ground jet pump and called the county for an inspection. I passed and called the electric company the next day to get service. After that I piped 400 feet of irrigation and hooked up two water toughs. I knew I couldn’t let my heritage end with me. I had very little knowledge about anything I was doing but managed to successfully get it all done. I built the breaker box and the weather head. I got the codes from the city and the electric company and built it according to their specifications and the county codes. I thank God for the strength and am still very thankful. I didn’t spend much time on the farm growing up. I was taken away as a young boy when I was about eight years old to live in the city where I grew up in Clearwater. I visited Anthony often, but never stayed that long. Now I plan to retire up there. I purchased seven heifers in October, 2020 and moved them next door to my Aunts property next door and finished the electrical to the well. She’s always loved cows and grew up on the farm. They are about a year old now and I still keep them there. I’ll breed them after they’re close to two years old. After I got the well running I bought more cows. I got eight pregnant cows, a few steers, a couple more heifers and a bull. I’ve been blessed with six calves this season. I had four in March and twin bulls calves in June, four baby bulls and two heifers. It’s all been an extremely exciting experience and I know my papa and my dad are proud looking down on me knowing I’ve busted my butt every spare minute I had to keep the farm going. Now I have twenty six head and another pregnant mama due soon. I did most everything myself with very little help. I didn’t let anything or anyone stop me, not even covid. I got it on Christmas Eve and was back to work the next week in January… felt like the flu. Now look what I’ve accomplished with the grace of God. I could of never done it alone. Even though I was by myself… I always had my papa or dad to guide me as I just followed with my gut feelings.

"Our cows were all over town..." "I found one of them in a sizzlers parking lot just standing there staring at a poster of a ribeye..."

I wish I lived on a farm but when I grow up I'm going to live on one

I used to live on a farms, but moved to the city about 7 years ago. I can't wait to be able to move back to a farm again!

This is such good content and reminds me that there’s good people in the world! Thank you for this!

Everytime he try’s to touch them they move away after like “don’t touch me”🤣🤣

Just came across this channel I'm a over the road trucker and I love to see the cows so many questions will look at other videos

Reading the comments and seeing so much help, Love this community. Can't wait till I have more money so I can become a farmer. Once I get monetized and have some passive income coming in I'm doing it!

You should get some Donkeys to put in with the cows. They are great for keeping coyotes away.

I enjoy your videos thanks for sharing.

Aaaawwww what a love , Cows 🐮❤️

Love this content!

Hai my name firdaus from malaysia I'm amazed at this person who wakes up in the morning to feed the animals

That was a cool feed filler thing in the beginning

Such a fun video😭😭❤️

Dang coyotes , so sad about the calf and the mamma sounded so sad

Great videos I love your channel 🤩👌

I think this was my favorite video you've had so far! Sorry about the calf.

Great video and sorry about the calf...we have tons of coyotes around us along with bob cats (N.E. Texas)..we just brought home our first bred beef cow - 2 mos. bred - angusxbrangus mix...6 yrs old...new to cows...we won't be having a herd...just raising meat for us on our homestead...she should calve out in May next year...and will set up a nice paddock out of one side of the barn for her to have safety having the calf... we have 9 rescue horses on our 27 acres...just have the cow 1 week today...so she is a bit skiddish being lone cow, new people, and property...but she is doing good...bucket training her on cubes and she comes and follows us pretty good...we raise laying hens and hatch out chicks...raise cornish x chicks and butcher for good meat...raise meat rabbits and hoping for a good breeding as soon as the weather can cool down some...got a couple of gilt pigs that may be ready to go to slaughter by December...and now added some beef to our table...gowing veggies and have some fruit trees...canning and freezing...living a clean life...like your channel!

How are the flies controlled on the cows? We use fussell farms inc automatic cow sprayer, works great. There always something to do on a farm.

They are so cute❤️❤️❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣the bulls loose weight chasing cows😂😂😂😂

Hi! Love your videos. Suggestion...turn the volume of your music down? In some sections we can't hear what your saying. Bless your work your family your lively cattle!

Thanks

when you feed did you add sold, to add sold water and food is good for cows like our food

Hi nice video I have a question How much acres do you have? Or about how much acres do you need for cows?

I enjoyed that video

so wonderful beautiful video friend

Farm greetings from Indonesia

now what u need is 10 goats, just looking at the pen where the bulls are,only thing is left is tall weeds, the goats will eat them weeds down to the ground then return too eat any new growth over a few times killing that weed, leaving more space for grass to regrow in. we got a few goats last year to keep the weeds down in our hog yard, its mostly a paved area but weeds still sneak up around all the barns etc and now with the goats there the weeds are gone.

Cool video man unfortunate about the calf...hope u can mange yhe coyte issue...

Good share

can we please have another day in the life

Grief. Too bad for that mournful mother.

I'm a veterinary medicine student. My family farmed for years and years, but the cattle get poor quality rearing. After I saw that video, If there is a chance I want to visit there farm once, And in any farm from your country. ///// I like your video. It's a great video. Nice farm like and follow great.

I love your video and all details thanks so much for sharing, Only one Opinion is the music lauder that you, I would like to hear what you say, thanks again for sharing really appreciate it.

Why don't you use spike plants to build a fence???

At H McD, the perps knew the fire dept.

does each group of your cows have their own barn to stay in?

Great video but you put music in the background and it gets hard sometimes to hear you

what breed of cattle do you have?

Were do you buy your cows or do you breed them

What kind of grass do you plant in your farm for angus beef and another beef sir.

How do you know which cow is which!?

It's a great video. Nice farm like and follow

What do you feed them with? I feed them with hay

Nice cattle farm, I know someone who has a cattle farm as well.

I just bought 28 acres of land I would love to put a least 10 cows in it Hereford my favorite cow I've been looking around I live in Michigan and I'm having a hard time to find them

I got so baked I look this up lmfaoo !

Do you have black and white cows and red/brown ones?

You live in the ozarks?

nice one, are you stugying bussines casually? because i am and doing pretty much the same haha

I live on a hobbie farm and we have like about 27 cows with 1 bull and a couple of calfs

Dude Hey! I'm your South African subscriber here...I have a few questions...Would you recommend starting a cow cal operation from bottle calves? If yes, is 20 heifers no bull manageable for one person? : assume all the machinery, milk, grass and grains is an abundance.

what are you feeding them????

where is this farm ?

Nice video of that, nice lookin animals, your black cow there the one was about to get after you, those are the ones that are perfect for predators but mostly for coyotes.. cuz we had a cow like that once, but sometimes there pain in the butt especially when it involves their own baby's after so many hours of after having it. So I'll say she's a good protective mother of her young. & #2 that's the problem with yearlings there worst then cows on times of getting out of the gates..lol #3 but that's the part of farming is there's always something needs fixing or checking before being used again. And last but not least sorry for your calf there, my guess is that she could of been out eating a little ways so she wasn't able to protect her baby? Or there again some cow's some, don't care about there young like they should be. But inerways good work.👍 and good

A Day in the Life it's a song by The Beatles

Enjoyed seeing your routine but sorry about your calf . We have been blessed so far with that not happening to any of ours but you just never know .

Try turning off the music

l want to visit this farm.

Where do you find people selling black angus cross bottle calves or just black angus bottle calves? Also how much do you pay for them on average?

Have you ever thought of taking the calve that's sucks on things or other calves and separate it to see it will stop?

Would you ever have a problem with someone asking you for permission to come and roam your field in search of mushrooms? How would you respond to that? I love studying the local farms and ecosystems , also foraging wild mushrooms (not just the magic kind)! I won’t trespass, but I’m not sure how to approach these good, hard working people. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Would a pack of dogs instinctively protect your acreage?

additional food for the cow from any material

Very sorry about the calf. Used to raise sheep and the coyotes got several over the years. Really hate them. Mother is a really nice Angus.

Looks like yote hunting is on the agenda

I’m feeding bottle calfs

What is that stuff that he fed to the cows in the beginning

Sorry to see that one of your calves was killed. Otherwise things seem to be going well for you. Thanks for a great video.

so sad about the calf..😔

I’m new here. You mentioned you spray weeds. Hope you use a safe brand. The animals don’t get near these weeds. With all the cancer lawsuits against a weed killer company.

Cattle Farmer ^ < Cattle Rancher

Throw a little de-lice in their general direction and do a flying elbow drop off the feed trough onto that red one! Haaahaha!

🤠🤠🤠🤠Yee-Haw

Why don't you have fruit trees and vegetables bunks and flowers planted so the cows can become swlf sufficient? ??
