Calfnapping - Calf Abduction Season Is Here!

We see our first calves of the season! I abduct the calves from their moms to tag and treat them, then release them both on green grass!

CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

A small light trailer with high sides behind the quad would make your life a lot easier, put the in the calf inside and you don't have try to hold or corral them all the time you are working them 🙂

Mighty stuff Ryan, Hannah, Lucy and the Puppies, good luck with the new bull and calving💯👌👍🙏🙂

[@davidschaefer5293]

I liked the ATV warning message. I started a 1956 Farmall when I wasn't on it and found out the hard way it was in gear. My right ankle now has a plate and 7 screws!

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!!! Nice looking bull. Seems really calm too.

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

You need a calf catching stick and a calf carrier that will go into the receiving hitch on your gator we use gators all the time because of the box space to carry supplies

Ryan: "This may be the most farmer thing you see all day." Thank you for your sacrifice 😆

[@digger5858]

Hey Ryan another good video. Hope the weather holds up for you.

[@fazerainbow5674]

[@wagon9082]

[@godoftheinterwebz]

Calfnapper! Love those senior Irish Setters. It's not a farm without a dog.

[@bartjohnson8139]

Ryan, “only 11-15.” New young bull, “only 11-15!?!?”

[@brittblanton8342]

Thanks for the update Ryan. That’s a good looking bull you purchased and also a good looking new baby calf. I believe you and the four wheeler need a bath after getting stuck 😂

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Ryan, some good looking calves this year, thanks for sharing

[@danechristian1768]

Hi Ryan. The new dude looks good. Best wishes for a great crop season.

[@westbamafarmer]

I take pictures of my calves to post on instagram 😂

[@23431]

It’s good to hear you have bullpen power and reserves 😂😂

[@billwieland8497]

Thanks Ryan!

[@SimonKL11]

The calves look good👍 hopefully your calfing season goes well 👍😉

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Great to see the youngsters on the farm. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@tammygurke7482]

Awesome video❤❤❤❤❤❤love your channel. Thanks Ryan.

[@richarde.miller9304]

Check out Cole sonne calf carrier for the gator it’s really handy

[@charlesheald1782]

My experience with dairy cows is that the mother would follow you about halfway to the barn and then turn around and run back to the spot where she had the calf. 😆

[@waterskiingfool]

Have you ever thought of using farm focused for your apparel? Seems like a lot of the KZbinrs like having them deal with it

[@cthomas1864]

The GFCI outlet may not like the electrical fence zapper.

[@tucobenedicto109]

If a cow gets a shock and is stnading on the ground, isn't that a ground fault?! is the fence ac or dc? if ac yes you have a fault.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Doesn’t seem like it. Usually I only have to reset it after a rain. It zapped me 3 times in a row last week 😂

[@billymoad]

Hi everyone from northwest Missouri I don't know if you watch sonne farm's or not but him and his dad use a aluminum cage that hooks to the front of there gator keeps the cow of them while they work the calves bud

[@SafetyThirdRC]

The livestock content is my favorite. You are living my dream. Cheers

[@clinthochrein888]

Great video Ryan! 👍🏾

[@waterskiingfool]

Nice job pulling a Dougo with the wheeler. At least you could get it out on your own

[@peteparker7396]

I’m super proud of you getting another bull and not one from the sale barn. Those freeze brands are a good sign he’s got some solid genetics and that matters when you’re trying to improve your herd. Above all else the bull is the most important part of a cow calf operation, you can’t settle for mediocre bulls. It’s called subcutaneous when you give a shot under the skin and not in the muscle. I am however worried for your well being trying to grab a calf with the dogs running around.

[@robertstibz9506]

I said you need a cheap excavator to get ontop of the pasture brush, to rip all the roots out, mulcher won't stop the brush coming back. Bull looks great btw.

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’s doing pretty good so far. Spraying after it has been working wonders on the thorn bushes

[@erickurtz2750]

@@HowFarmsWork Ryan do you still have your JCB or did you sell it to BRIAN’s dad in are you gonna get another semi or what are you gonna do with if you without the JCB just curious

[@leed8416]

Hey Ryan, it's everybody! Can you include more about the financial side of your farm in your videos? Think you did this a few years back. We are interested to know what it takes to keep things running. Always appreciate the videos!

[@johnnydale6515]

Get a calve carrier like Sonne Farms has on his side by side n

[@Blackwellll3066]

Another great video for sure

[@tylerkelderman2680]

More cattle videos please

[@hallidayacres1245]

Hi,how many steers do you have marked for market this year. Have a great day

[@johnmartin-sg7cv]

I enjoy your and your brothers videos. Been watching for quite a few years now. I have wo questions about your cattle breeding. On my farm I sort my cows and heifers into different pastures when it is time to meet the bull. This is so the cows/heifers are not mating with their fathers or if possible grandfathers. I know you can do this but interbreeding is not recommended. I have not seen you or your brother do this. Maybe you do as I am sure you do not show us everything. Would love to know if you do this or just let all the bulls out into the herd and see what happens. The other question is if you plan to sell what we call registered Angus bull and heifer calves, do you not need to know who the sire is? Please ignore this if I am wrong in my thinking.

[@donaldkeegan817]

Wow, cow wrestling. DonK

[@Codyfarms]

Prices of cattle are high, think it will ever go down?

[@joeyouruncle9850]

We use maultimin on anything we buy in, dont see much help on home grown claves if a mineral program is in place

[@georgedavidson1221]

Why not get a local tree company drop their chips in your wet areas

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

NEVER cut the four wheeler off. You never know how fast you might have to get away from a "good momma"!😯

[@CarlOswalt-lr7wt]

What brand of camera do you have that has a crazy amount of zoom?

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊😊

[@rickcampbell4920]

Good move

[@rickcampbell4920]

I should have said, good moooove! 🤣

[@AWAVAWA]

What are you treating them for?

[@chetsicinski9787]

Hi Ryan. I for on my son’s butt for nor having a phone with him when he’s out on foot with the cows. Consider having one on your person when you do it alone. It won’t keep you from getting hurt but it can keep from getting dead. Wouldn’t want to hear about that happening to you and yours. You’re a good honest guy or I wouldn’t have replied with this.. Thanks

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

👍👍

Iodine and mineral salt are HUGE white salt waste of time same for you. Mineral salt and Iodine
