Beef Restock from New Processor & Bringing Cows Home for Branding!
Рет қаралды 18,539
Ай бұрынBeef comes back to the ranch and I have decided to try and different processor. We get a first look at how the beef is cut and packaged and talk about a few new products that will be available online!
Branding is just a few days away and it's time to bring the cows home! Always an enjoyable way to spend a morning moving cows!

Erin you are doing such a great Job. Im glad i stayed.
@mickeyjones2874 Ай бұрын
Erin, I started watching your channel shortly before Mike left. I did enjoy him but I think you are doing a great job being the spokesperson. This looks like real ranch life. You explain the circumstances you are in so that I understand what's happening. I'm wishing you both well.

My neighbor has been raising beef for 40 years. He processes on average 500 head a.year in quarters,.halves and wholes. All sold locally and pickup only. He takes orders 12 months in advance with 50% deposit required. All cash. He has a processing house. He also does farm eggs from an honor roadside stand.. Sells on average 100 dozen a week and most of us return the.cartons.to.him. In the summer we all share our.garden vegetables among neighbors and always drop him off.some fresh veggies when we.can. He is 84 and his wife is 86 and they have been married 65 years. We love our community.

Great idea to provide quarters or halves for your customers. Enables you to move much more product.

Yes! The trick is keeping inventory available where the demand is!

I’ve said it before. I knew a guy in Big Sur California that looks like a long haired version of Jeff. He has an old faded blue VW bus with a peace sign on both sides with a few surf boards on a rack on the roof. He wore swim trunks a Grateful Dead T-shirt with the sleeves cut off and flip flops. True Story. Good to see you back Jeff. You guys are doing a great job and the meat looks awesome too. Stay safe. 🐂 🐓🫏🐖☮️🇺🇸

I'm having a hard time understanding what you are saying! I have this problem with most people who try to say too much in a short time!

Look into expandable roller conveyers. One could save backs, steps , time and money. In fact, if you get one - -you will probably want at least two. I picture using it from the tailgate to freezers when you load in from the processor. Queuing up empty boxes on it, to be filled then when you are loading out to the post office. I don't think I can post a link but you should be able to find them on the Internet.

That's where a cake feeder on your gator would really shine. You just simply turn the box on and run out however much cake you want on the ground and then you don't have to worry about two or three cows trying to hog it all for themselves
