We sit down for an in depth discussion about how our 2020 stocker steers performed. We also discuss some of the strategies we use within our operation, including purchasing the cattle, pasture/grazing management, herd health, & the marketing/selling of those animals.

Great video very informative for all groups of growers. I bough at stockyards and sometimes u gamble 9n what u get. I just separate for so many days until I'm satisfied with health.

Yeah, having a good setup to allow you to isolate and quarantine new arrivals is definitely ideal.

Great video. Again, I plan to operate a stocker operation in Nebraska. I am "green" to running stocker cattle so I appreciate the advice and lessons learned.

I still consider myself relatively green as well. Never stop learning! Good luck and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the breakdown. This information could be helpful to us in the future,. Our farm’s location in NW Alabama is similar to yours geographically, and, with about 70 acres of pasture, we could probably have a similar size herd of stockers.

Yeah, our stocker pasture is about 75 acres and we run 65-70 head there. Selling as 8 weights in the fall allows us to put together a full truckload

Thanks. A little different video for us. Had a lot of questions about seeing how it all works out with our stocker cattle, so I hope we answered a few & maybe even inspire someone else to give it a go!

Great video and breakdown. I'm planning to do something similar on a small scale as I don't have the acreage right now. I'm going to try to run year round similar to what Gordon Hazard used to do. Fescue grows good in my area, so that should really reduce hay cost for me. What auction do you carry them to?

We sell our stockers through a special feeder cattle sale at Dickson. We’ve also sold at Savannah a few times, as they have a good weekly auction. Somerville is the closest auction barn, so we do go there occasionally as well.

I’m only half way into the video but where did you sell the cattle…? Market or individual feedlot

@HurricaneCreekFarms 2 жыл бұрын

Market. We sell at a special feeder cattle sale where they have all preconditioned calves sold by the load lot.

@@HurricaneCreekFarms nice. I have about 150 acres I’ve been just haying the last 2 years but thinking about running some stockers. Always been around cow/calf in family so this would be new for me. Thanks for the info
