Its been a bit since we had an auction day and it was a good one but before we get into that I will give you and update on the straight from the farm bottle calves. I got sick, real sick and was unable to give them proper care twice a day. A buddy came by and bought a few to fill his hutches and my wife was taking care of them after that. After awhile it was too much for her to handle ( City Girl Yuppy Type) and she had a local farmer come by and pick them up and care for them until I was able and he had issues and lost the last 5. It sucks it is how it goes at times. We will get another small batch and keep the work minimal. Now, back to the auction. I bought 2 started calves so I wouldn't have to bottle them and we will get them fat this winter and sell them in the spring. One heifer and one bull. The bull is a little knuckled over but I will work with him and he should come out of it. Hope Everyone is having a great week and I will update everyone on the giveaway. All the best - DJ

Merry Christmas DJ! I'm really glad to hear you are doing better...how did you hurt your hand? Hate that you lost the bottle calves...hopefully the started ones will make a better investment. The heifer looks great and you'll straighten out that bull :)

Merry Christmas Gregory, I'll have bottle calves again. Just not that many in the winter time haha, I think had it been summer my wife could of handled chores. The started calves are a good investment. Going to add weight this winter and sell spring. Hand was a freak accident with my sharp edged cattle panel and some hungry calves. Needed 6 stitches.

I bought 23 bottle calves and i only have 15.....the remaining one's were much older than the rest and it's 6 holstein bulls , 6 straight beef breed and and 3 simmental bulls. The other one's that died were killed by scours, two was overfed and the other one was killed by pneumonia. I gave them electroguard and biorem for diarrhea. I'll give them their first vaccine next week bcoz they will becoming 6 to 8 weeks. No more calves in my life.....I'm gonna get some sheep and if i want to continue with cattle i'd rather buy grown cattle that need only Vaccines and Feeds.

Bottle calves are not for the faint of heart thats for sure. My buddy Dave loves sheep and moved from calves all together himself. Started calves are a much easier and better experience. Thank you for commenting. All the best - DJ

I explained in the video and in the video description. I got sick and hurt, sold some to a friend, and the rest went to a local farmer to watch over while I got better and he had a bacterial issue and lost the remaining.

Oh that's sad but God bless. Things will work out as time goes on. On the 6th of January i'm going to collect my group of calves but i don't have a Webcam to show you guys everything step by step. It's as you said farming is not easy but at the end of the day it's worth it and at least you benefit something if you plan your things right. I have a full time job but after 5 years I wanna be full time on farming coz my heart is at the farming industry and my ancestors were all farmers so this runs in my blood. I want cattle, goats, sheep, turkey's and chicken's. But I have a few chickens already and I'm doing everything in my backyard. When i come from work i go into a other job at my yard as well....that's just how it goes but after all i'll benefit big.
