Welcome to Barn Talk! What happens at the barn, stays in the barn, but not today! We’re letting it all out. Today, we have a special guest, Jared Holmes, joining us to share his journey in the agricultural industry. Jared reflects on his current situation and the long-term progression of his work. He shares the ups and downs of getting his trucking business started, the struggle to find good labor in agriculture, his time in the military, and his innovative cattle business idea he’s pursuing.

Really love that you guys have taken what you love doing and have made a whole platform out of it. I believe I can speak for a lot of people when I say that I believed I would have had no interest in hearing farmers on a podcast , but after watching a few shorts I’ve been so so pleasantly surprised. Crazy how people living such a different life than myself share in so many commonalities. I’m an office working city slicker, but I’m beyond grateful for farmers like you guys who put the food on our plates. As far as I’m concerned, a farmer is as fundamental a role in society as they come. Really hoping other people can grow a respect for the occupation and the challenges you guys face.

First time viewer from Idaho - honestly wasn't sure I would watch to it's entirety - after the first 2 minutes, any doubts I had about that had left town like an AMTRAC. I found myself thinking back to the starting point of a once one truck - bank owned - draggin a leased trailer hauling 4 loads a month from Idaho to Arizona to the headaches of being an employer of several trucks .n. trailers & all that entails. I had returned from a 2nd round deployment as a medic. I knew I didn't want to go back to the life flight lifestyle when I was stateside again. I had drove truck to put myself thru college until the military showed face so I decided to go back to the trucking industry, mostly because I felt like my body was here on U S.A soil, but my head was still across the water. That frame of mind wasn't gonna end up good for anybody needing emergency medical assistance so I decided to go back to driving. I hadn't hauled livestock at that point but weird as it may be the same afternoon that I had made that decision, an old boss called me to ask if I was busy & had any time to help a fellow owner operator that had got his license in trouble, for a couple weeks. I told him, "if the guy was willing to teach me how to haul live loads I'm willing to help with the driving issue!" My "couple weeks" turned into now 20+ years of hauling livestock, buying trucks .n. trailers, finding loads, keeping up with the FMCSA b.s., & all the drivers that come .n. go. etc..... Never looked back on the life flight gig . For your guest APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE & looking forward to seeing how this cattle adventure turns out for ya... Guarantee this video is gonna be the coffee drinkers (mostly all of them are either livestock haulers, dairy cattle or feedlot owners) latest discussion up here. Blessings to all of you guys & your families.

You guys are 100% right about work and farm kids! When I hire interns for work, I look for 3 things, go to ag school (i.e. Purdue), be in 4-H and/or FFA and lived or worked on a farm, it is a winning formula because I have had the best intern each year, out of 25 interns. Everyone else is like how do you find them and I explain my formula.

my best friend grandpa was dairy farmer and my family was into beef/dairy until 1993 and went sheep after that. Short story i learned something from my friend grandpa and he breed cows almost every month so like 10 this month and 10 next month and so on but he leave three months during summer where he aint getting calves so he had time to make hay a least two times (lucky if he could get three times) over the spring-fall but he does it more for dairy but its smart idea as he is using his time well and he is making beef on the side so if price is low he could just wait a little longer and put more meat on the bones to sell them when its right but in worse case he is average his money as he is getting market range of both low and high instead of betting on "one" sale my family sheep is that we only house them over the fall-winter as soon as they give birth in spring they go to field to graze and when they go to mountain until we get them during fall time to put back into breeding program.. 1440 ladies was last number i saw haha but its also problem as you are more trusting on fall to sell extra sheeps all at same time to go to supermarkets.

Find an energy efficient refer to move carcass or boxed meat. Take hogs to old salt coop in billings, pay for processing with pork packaged. Haul back packed beef boxes ready to ship and stock. Win win. Also haul in processed hogs for inspection. Both operations benefit as eachothers best client.

Also haul Sonne Farms hanging 1/2 from South Dakota to plant in Billings MO and return packed beef boxed frozen and your pork. Another beef seller to help with your model. They have a hub that needs refergeration. Storla Station SD. Resturant. Possible.

I’m really interested in your manure/water separation system. I have to ask tho if there are any pharmaceuticals in the city supplied water or if pigs needs medications the water separating system cannot filter it out just like human city water plants. So don’t you worry of a build up in concentration of such things if the water is being recycled and cleaned so many times? It’s a great idea I would just like to know more of how to avoid that particular situation.

3 takes 1. Jred has the universal trucker voice down pat 😂 2. Bro don’t buy your daughters farms, you can drive down every county road in Iowa and see abandoned & sold out, broke down farms that daddy & gpa left his kids. 3. I love how Jred started the show as having a love for trucking & towards the end it sorta change to a major love with calving & cattle. Cool but b honest to those that don’t know any better so they don’t make the mistake. Let them know how greedy Uncle Sam is and u said it best “like Trump you have to hire the right people” and obviously you have a very good PA and cattle is the best way to legally avoid capital gains through ag investment. Great show keep it up guys 👍🏽

With a background in dairy farming I've always thought integrating timing breeding and using ai in beef would be a better return on investment. If raising beef better off with bulls except only sex for hefiers not bulls and ai companies just dump bull semen when sex it.
