That Hurt The Wallet!

[@chuygonzalez7837]

You're making me want to raise calfs again I remember watching your first video 5 years ago when I started with dairy calfs I also used to watch (How farms Work) but they stopped raising them . It's very satisfying seeing calfs go from bottle to grain to hay and than pasture I moved to all beef calfs in 2019 and I raised some heifers to breed but I couldn't afford a bull but last November 2 bull calfs broke in with my heifers and I fed them together all winter and all the way to Sept 15 I finally found out who they belonged to and they gave me $300 for feeding them and yesterday one of my heifers had her first calf . A whole year later but I everything worked out and there is another one close to calving. I was frustrated for a whole year because everything time I should get the money for a bull an unexpected expense would come up. But the lord is always working behind the scene. I would like too share some videos so If you guys would subscribe i will upload some videos i don't make videos but if you raise calfs only you understand how satisfying it even though it's also very stressful I didn't raise any this year but I might start again.

[@FarmandHammer]

I used to watch how farms work when Ryan raised calves as well. Wish there were more people doing it, but you’ve really got to love it to keep doing it year after year. Glad everything worked out!

World Dairy Expo Oct 1 - 4. North Central Wisconsin here. We have had a Fantastic seasons this year. All of WI is taking in high yields. Illinois MN UP and MI Iowa farmers I speak with are also having a Great year. Keep up the great work brother. Your set up is nice. I like to start calves in the fall. Make more economic sense to not have to feed loads of hay out in the winter. They I sell off Sep/Oct the next season as finishers

[@christopherbrosz5003]

What are you complaining about, running double speed it sure didn't take you that long to restack that pallet 😁. On a serious note. Love the bottle calf videos. It is fun watching them grow. My seven year old loves watching the videos with the bottle calves too. Keep up the good work.

[@joegonnet712]

I think you are doing such amazing job with the calves you are such a good farmer keep up your amazing work hopefully we can meet up sometime

[@yassinebouchtaoui5441]

Good luck with the calfs.

[@bobbyfabiano]

You need to get yourself a full size Holstein that's milking as a Milk Bar

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Great to see you are increasing your herd. Loved the video. thanks.

[@kevinanderson89]

I Just got 12 holstein/angus cross calves. I have a few holstein cows to milk to feed them. Keep a little replacer for backup, not cheap. Great video like always.

[@TB-il3lo]

Name the slow calf Gomer pile lol just a few acres farm channel, he uses these fly papers and a fly traps that appear to do a good job. Might help you out in the barn some.

[@LLthereistome2024]

I hang up cheap flies catchers,

[@logansorg6022]

You should right a name on the black baldie’s ear tag! I think expo is the 2-8 maybe. I know I show on Sunday so that’s why I am guessing!

[@noahsizemore1275]

That's alot of money 💰 for milk that isn't as anywhere as good as jersey milk that is 15 percent butter fat. I can't wait to see how it all ends up at the end on profit. I still think it would be way cheaper and the calfs would get bigger faster on real milk . Hay is cheap here in Suffolk Virginia I can get 5 x4 bales for 40 bucks or I can make them my self for even Cheaper. I have so much hay that I just bush hog 25 acres because I don't have any where to store the hay . Love the channel how you break everything down in price is awesome.

[@jeffboothe2102]

That ain't NOTHIN' for that Chevy!

[@Holy_Buckets]

Wow..$88 a bag.. we r getting our replacer from our AI guy @ select sires for $63 a bag.. it’s good stuff too!

[@cheshillyard2870]

Another great video, the new babies are so cute,.Wow that milk is expensive ,sure hope the calvers pay for themselves.Love you mate Take care see you in next one Hugs........

Great job Sir appreciate your Amazing beautiful sharing.. keep it Up.. Merci

[@davidrobinson3397]

Get you a pump up garden sprayer fill it with vinegar spray everything down with it should help with the fly control.

[@FarmandHammer]

I’ll have to try that. It sounds easy enough!

[@nathandukelow1863]

You should put some fly tape up

[@57143bodies]

Flies…….they are so annoying whether there’s one or hundreds. Dirty pests. Number 5 with its white-tipped tail turned up signaled it is a happy calf! The quiet, laid-back fellow reminded me of Ferdinand, the bull. That is one barn full of activity and future profit!

[@FarmFreshIB]

You need a barrel to keep the open milk powder in. That would for sure help. I also like those bait bags for catching flies.

[@FarmandHammer]

I go through a bag per day so it’s kind of a pain to put it in barrels. When I open them normally, I just roll up the top and it keeps the flies out.

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Wow at those replacement milk costs...I'll stick to mother's natural milk for her calf. I can see the value in a mother cow's milk now...you opened my eyes. I know your operation is a bit different raising up calves without their mothers.

[@annetmutoni9593]

If you bought like 3 daily cows for milking so you use milk instead of milk replacer. wouldn't you be saving on milk replacer ?

[@joshwebb8090]

Think you could be an ear tagging video, and maybe one on vaccinations you give and how you do them?

[@maeJoyBwithU-ux3fn]

you're aSuperstar... what a terrific impromptu crossfit workOut! looks like it only took aMinute to move the milkPowder [*grin]. i like the newbies!

[@devenlamar3900]

Put sand down where they feed.we use professional grade. Much better than straw. In a building u would have a grate below them

[@suzanne529]

Rescue brand fly traps work great!

[@FarmandHammer]

I’ll have to try them out. If it gets cold they will be gone pretty quick.

[@mikedaugharty5544]

isaac love those CALVES are my favorite quite a good looking group of cows calves i should say???!!!

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello good video hope you dont lose any other calf. I would think that be a good cross Angus holstein though I like the white face herferd holstein. Then again the black face probably bring the best money when selling. Have a great day.

[@wendyrowland7787]

This old lady used to stack the replacer in a vermin proof box.

[@FarmandHammer]

I’m going to have to get something figured out. I’m sure the mice will move in once they figure out it’s there.

[@wendyrowland7787]

@@FarmandHammer I found an old emergency milk bulk tank made of fibre glass at a farm sale. Just a suggestion, stand the bag up and open the end, then you can fold it over to keep out the flies. An old saucepan which you can calibrate with marker pen, makes a good scoop.

[@jackholman5008]

why so many flies?

[@williamblack5837]

Sawdust and lime and fly spray get rid of those flies while everything is healthy but you can’t get rid of them when everything is so wet

[@FarmandHammer]

There is a 5 inch layer of lime underneath the straw. Once it cools off and I get back to the sawmill I should have plenty of sawdust to use. Usually this fall weather knocks the flies out pretty quick.

[@rickykane1493]

Do u have much trouble with flys on the calfs see a lot around the bags

[@mtozzy11]

They're cute. Yes milk powder isnt cheap but 40 bags yikes 😳 lol. We've just started spring calving here 4 on the ground so far equal mix of heifers to bulls KO Angus x Hereford and straight KO Angus. These have to be the smallest calves we've ever had they are tiny. We have a saying in Australia "fucking flies" lol

U need to get those fly traps to kill and get rid of those nasty flys

[@jamescarmody1710]

I give my bottle calfs 2 bags each find they do better

[@FarmandHammer]

Yeah the longer they get milk the better they grow. But I can’t make it work financially feeding 2 50lb bags per calf. It cuts into the profits pretty quick.

[@LLthereistome2024]

How do you keep the mice out of that calf milk

[@FarmandHammer]

The cat spends most of the day and night in the barn. Haven’t had an issue with them yet.
