Hi Adam! Thanks for watching! Very exciting. I’m here to help with any questions you have. Questions equal video ideas lol. You will quickly learn that there are a bunch of ways to skin this cat and that what works for other May not be the best route for your farm. Get as much info from as many sources as possible and let your judgment take it from there. Thanks for the nice comment and keep me updated on your progress.

Hi. Thank you! You may be right about the losing money thing. This is something that I am very interested in figuring out on a realistic, and transparent level. But In order to figure it out I will have to actually do it for a few to five years. Most people would rather not discuss the fact that they are losing money, but this will be a focus in many video to come. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Melvin! It’s finally warming up so that will make it a bit easier. Hope all is well!

Thank you Brandon! I would recommend the breed to anyone! Thanks for watching!

Hi! Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you!

I plan to try the mineral this year. From what I have hear the tags are very little help. Have you had good luck with them? Thanks for watching!

I will be hitting on this in my next video of this series. Keep an eye out! I won’t be able to deep dive on it, but it’s a good idea you’re right..

Hi Ben. Thanks for watching. This is something I struggle with still. Not so much after they are in the calving pen, but getting them to it. Having a corner to lead the cattle to is good. My calving pen being in the barn causes a little bit of a problem because I don’t have the infrastructure to lead them to the barn, but like you I couldn’t really afford it so I am trying to protect it from the weather. So pay close attention to how you will keep control of the cattle leading them to the final working place. If it’s corral panels tied to TPost or some sort of wooden fencing for a alley. It should start at a place that they don’t have a lot of directions to get away. Like a corner of your barn yard or a corner made of fencing. After that the head gate on post is a good option. I have put a link below to a photo of what something like that would look like. Thanks again for watching, and good luck! i.pinimg.com/originals/2a/5e/ba/2a5eba28e6d6faef08842e5585f2985c.jpg

thanks very much! enjoying all your videos, thanks again for sharing!

Yes. But it’s not dependable until they have been trained to it. The adult cattle stay behind the strand 100% of the time where the young ones tend to take their chances a little more often. The adults have an extra understanding that it’s not worth trying to touch the line. I’ve never shocked myself with it knock on wood but I’m sure it doesn’t feel great lol.

I’m almost certain there are, but not positive. Can’t imagine them not making their way from Ireland.

Thanks for commenting “Frank”, and thanks for watching!
