Full House - Barn Full of Holsteins

[@dgoatranch]

My kids raised bottle calves when we lived in the city. We had an acre lot and the local ordinance let us have a couple of cows even though it was a typical city neighborhood. We would walk them on a leash in the evenings and got some pretty funny looks and comments. One dude stopped and asked us what kind of dog that was. Fun times in the city before we moved to the ranch!

[@nicneitzel9576]

glad to see I'm not the only one who got carried away buying calves. Sure makes it easy as reasonable as it is!

[@johnnymossville]

Very nice looking bunch you have there!

[@roberthicks5542]

An update throughout the year would be awesome.

[@kenarnold9132]

Lovin that cart full of bottles!

[@DrCarr-nb1tf]

Both of you guys show love towards your calfs, i am happy to see that good job lads

[@DennysCountryLife]

Nice to see a full barn!

[@photosbychristensen]

Nice look fellows you have there.Wow i thing you got a great deal on those caifs

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

Way to go. Big time now!

[@THETROLLINGTRAIN1]

Great video 👍 Can't wait to see these calves in more vids

[@EmiDK]

Looking really good! Its a great feeling when the barn is full. :)

[@ramonjason2479]

You all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I love any tips you can offer me.

[@reubenahmir3328]

@Ramon Jason instablaster ;)

[@jacobneiman9768]

At the farm I help at, a calf got out recently and he got out and ran out on the road and messed up traffic, it was fun

[@waterskiingfool]

Do we even have room for that many? Moms going to be pissed lol

[@Rickenbacker69]

Wow, you bought an entire herd in one go! :)

[@AndersonCattleCo]

A few years ago I went to buy breeding quality yearling heifers to breed and put on grass. I wanted 40-50 head depending on the price When I was done I had bought 71 I had to charge them at the auction market till I could get the money and my wife suggested I not have so much fun at the sale Nice thing was a brought my cattle liner with me to the sae and I was able to haul them all home in one trip. I now write down every draft I by so I don't get carried away.

[@MokuTom]

how did the calves do? have you kept them in your dairy herd? just curious ;>

[@AndersonCattleCo]

They were all Angus and I wanted to sell them as breds to make money and the market went down and I sold 30 at a loss and calved the rest out and still have them today Pretty good cows

[@dangarza563]

I've been successful with 3 weights, never tried 100lber's. I give you kudos for what do; you have lots of chutzpah!

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Hey Ryan your getting close to 80k congrats man

[@calebvansickle9922]

Have you ever thought about buying the calves straight from the dairy farm? That's what we do, they just have a set price and call you when they have a group

[@29rosslyn]

Nice editing Jamie!

[@tristanbissell5126]

Loving the videos. How do you guys know when the sale barn is selling calfs?

[@HowFarmsWork]

They normally do a sale every week. Not sure how regular it is but if we're unsure we just call and ask.

[@ethandegnitz5247]

We got around 200 calves on milk between hutches and automatic feeders so yea we have alot of calvesm

[@gbrinks1957]

Okay my question is how are you going to pull another fodder bale down to the other end of the barn with the calves in the middle? Taking the pen apart and putting back together can't be a whole lot of fun.

[@sdbok76]

we got rid of our cows in August and are doing pretty much the same thing with our milking barn. just wondering if you are having any trouble with pneumonia

[@brendabryant6475]

that is a big batch & so cute

[@stephenmccolgan2447]

wheres last years calves now? and how many baby ones do u have at the moment? great vid 👍👍

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Stephen Mc Colgan Those are in the barnyard outside. There's over 60 in the barn.

[@stephenmccolgan2447]

How Farms Work can u do an update on them? thanks

[@thomasdonaldson1098]

Stephen Mc Colgan

[@christiancook4320]

hey i wounder what electrolytes do use with the cattle

[@57fitter]

That's the CLEANEST sale barn I ever saw. Did you give them the heads up?. Pretty sparse crowd, too. Market that sluggish, Ryan?

[@jacobhenry3597]

Are these heifers or steers for feeding out

[@mknelson2012]

love seeing you guys grow! is it just you 2 paying for the calves or how does that work and do you guys do your own breeding or no?

[@chuckscumminz]

Is that a small crowd or a special sale?

[@jordanson66]

I was wondering is the norm to sell them at the auction already castrated or do you do that yourself, or do you sell them to the finishers not banded and they do it. I guess i was wondering what the standard is?

[@justinklewin1017]

Do you have any outside?

[@fynbo1007]

Are you heating the barn to keep it warm and what is the price PR calv? Thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@stephenmccolgan2447]

Carsten Andersen he said he averaged 99 dollars at this sale in the video 59 the lowest 124 tge highest

[@fynbo1007]

Stephen Mc Colgan Thank you for you answer, I didn't understand what he was saying or I misunderstood what he was talking about

[@philipmusterman1685]

hey, Greate Video. did you Lead the corn Farm and your brother the cows? or is it all your? all the best wishes from germany Philip

[@dankalisz3235]

At what age do you wean them?... How long do you take to get them totally on solid feed?.. We try to get them off the bottle out here as soon as possible so I am just curious how long you take?

[@Kamil-vd1vn]

The great video and farm. Poland :)

[@happyhappy3972]

LOVE THEM BABIES!!!

[@Comet925]

Is that an equity sales place

[@morotetsuke]

thats gonna be some extra work

[@stevemiller6169]

best part, "mom's gonna be pissed"

[@CMHFarm]

how does the meat taste on these holisten

[@oeqs836]

Hello, some queries: How old the calves are and how much they weigh. What they eat (Milk powder, serum whey, or both) How much each bottle has and how many times a day they eat. I appreciate your comments

[@codyschulz1436]

man I sure miss that sound.

[@MrFarmingmad]

hi Ryan I was just wondering do you guys buy any other calves than holestiens and if so what breeds. I live in Northern Ireland and we buy breeds like limousine but are prices would be alot high than yours I would expect over here for calves prices are from £200/£300 pounds. in dollars thats around $249/$374 or round about that would you guys ever pay that much for 1 calve?

[@lidsman2221]

Is there heat in that barn? Just wondering how they stay warm. Their fur does not seem very thick.

[@TheRestOfTheStory]

its thicker than you think

[@jamesbascombe8274]

They make some body heat on their own. Not as much as a cow does. And the fuller the barn the better.

[@allenhunt3070]

I liked the video!

[@ekebern8192]

do you feed them with corn?

[@Northern_Farmer]

I think they are a little small for corn

[@tdgreenbay]

how many you got now

[@taco44051]

The only farm experience I have is on a tobacco farm in NC way back. So since playing Farm Simulator 2017 your videos have become very interesting to me. A few questions...what city and state are in? How many acres do you have and how many head of cattle? How much does 20 new calves costs at auction? I have no idea and would like to have that point of reference. How do you not get emotionally attached to all the animals??

[@lukestrawwalker]

They're in Wisconsin, near Potosi. He said that his average was about $100/hd in the video, so $2,400 for 24 calves.

[@GTFarming]

Awwwwww I love the brown ones

[@joshfraze9742]

GT Farming there red

[@Pinziee]

do you let a lamp on at night ?

[@lloydmay2687]

hey ryan is travis thinking about restarting the dairy side again?

[@GTFarming]

lloyd may think the calves are bull calves

[@lloydmay2687]

well I would guess not then I haven't kept up like I should have I guess thanx

[@MrBroomy]

Do you dehorn the calves? If so, how do you do it?

[@wyattritter6473]

Dickie B if they've they cut them off

[@jamesbascombe8274]

I use a paste just as you can feel the nubs of the horns start.

[@HarrisonFarms8400]

What are you going to to with the calves that don't have a pen for them

[@caseihmagnum279]

how doing you get the calves to follow you and is raising them for then a week at max worth it

[@wyattritter6473]

BIlly the SMall Bong thorton from india that's if there young enough

[@caseihmagnum279]

cows can be smart at times but they are still pretty dumb animals in the long and short of it

[@tdgreenbay]

caseih magnum heifers can be stupid they are silly to watch especially if you have to put up an electric fence for the first time let me tell yah

[@caseihmagnum279]

oh I know we have electric fence too and it's halious to watch them get in it one time then try snd figure out what happened

[@tdgreenbay]

We had one get in a corner one time.... she sniffed a insulator go zapped on her nose and backed into the fence in back of her got zapped darted into the fence in front of her zapped and the backed into the one behind her on the way out... me and a brother almost died laughing

[@logansickles7259]

what do you guys do with these calves once they get bigger?

[@Robinsonfamilyfarms]

Travis,or Ryan,, I was wondering what your profit margin was, when you sell your steers, you keep them till 500lbs,, just curious,,

[@TheRestOfTheStory]

Depends on what the market is doing may sell them at 500 lbs or keep them to 800

[@jacecarne7508]

The cat😂😂😂

[@hutchlinda9]

Good-bye! are you raising calves or mushrooms???

[@kevinwillis9126]

how is Raven doing?...

[@jbmbanter]

Somebody teach me please! If Ryan and Travis are going to bottle feed these calves how were they fed to get to this point?

[@stephenmccolgan2447]

jbmbanter colostrum first then waste parlour milk or milk replacer

[@jbmbanter]

Thanks Stephen. I know zero about raising but I'm learning from Ryan and Travis. :)

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

Looks like a nice set of calves. Are you going castrate the calves? Or hire a vet to do it?

[@57fitter]

I would guess band them.

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

Could. We have the vet come out and cut them and de horn them. That's on a small scale. They have 60 calves so they probably do band them and have there own thing to de-horn them.

[@Northern_Farmer]

We just use the rubber rings

[@iowadairyboysFarms]

Yep. Ryan should make a video when they de-horn the calves and castrate them. Then again you never know the reaction of non farm people would be to that.

[@Northern_Farmer]

I wouldnt...people are to sensitive...

[@gkarjala]

Good vids Pad-nah!!!

[@jebediahj9717]

You get $100 for you average cow price? I picked up 4 jerseys up here in mass and my average was $35

[@holisticadvocate7882]

Love the babies

[@oceannavagator]

So you raise them for a year or two till they weigh 500 or so pounds. What's a 500-pound animal worth when you sell?

[@storminnormanz]

It will only take 6 months to get them to 500 pounds and if your wondering what cattle are worth just google your local stockyard report

[@colehubel5359]

Why do you tie them up

[@jamesbascombe8274]

Cole Hubel so they don't fall in the gutter and get hurt.

[@SledgeHammer43]

Barn full + a few. lol

[@emeryerickson]

we buy calves for 300 in Minnesota

[@Tugger_Case]

Are you building a dairy herd?

[@Tugger_Case]

Where in this video do they say that these are all bull calves?

[@Tugger_Case]

...................I am sorry, but I am deaf (an ear infection when I was 22) and I didn't see that in the captions.....

[@Athenstrainman]

that's a lot of mouths to feed.

[@diecastcollector1420]

Your truck is the same year as our Chevy Silverado

[@benadrianthemachineking9118]

They are spikking fast

[@austinshaffer2155]

Hey how farms work I think u should make your vidos longer I love waching your vidos

[@prairiecreekfarm922]

when i grow up i want to be just like you

[@V8MattenV8]

i am from Holstein /Germany ;)

[@carterfarms5906]

The show or the card game?

[@farmerrog7816]

Notification people!!!!

[@FrancisLeclercGuitariste]

Did I miss something or you sold your cows?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Francis Leclerc The dairy cattle were sold in 2014.

[@SledgeHammer43]

Francis Leclerc It looks like they maybe getting back into dairy with all those Holsteins

[@farmallskittle]

Don Hanson they are just raising bottle calves nothing for the dairy since they no longer have the proper silaging equipment

[@Sull576]

+Don Hanson I believe there all bulls calves and they got out of dairy a year or two ago

[@Molb0rg]

Don Hanson they just rise them to 500lbs+ and sell

[@lukestrawwalker]

Wow not much on comfort, are they? Had to laugh at the square sales ring in another video as well... and no drive-thru's to unload?? Gotta back up to the pens every time? Our sales barns down here have stadium seating-- granted they're usually movie theater seats out of old movie theaters from the 50's or something, but better than sitting on a flat wooden bleachers... Most of the sales rings have better seating, particularly for the buyers... Course we're in the heart of cattle country in Texas, and since Texas is about the leading beef cattle state, and our area is the heart of the Texas cow/calf country, well, our sales can easily go 10-12 hours or even longer, at times. Our sales rings are generally a half-round pen with the entry and exit doors on either side of the auctioneer's pit... Later! OL J R :)

[@randymaylowski2485]

yeah that's sure is alot calves, but if you Bought them cheep enough then why not, especially if you guys can have room, or can make some extra room.

[@ryanmattison7733]

are you ever going to get back into milking

[@francesnieznay6623]

Future hamburger?

[@pv12261963]

How long before Jamie has a name for each & everyone?

[@sisutrucks]

[@axionxy]

give him a coco cola (the sick calve)

[@markbrommer2588]

looks like JAimie has her work cut out for her when she returns :)..

[@daz2827]

Guys if we chained calves here in the uk.....We would go to prison..!!!!!! Also we have to have a ramp with straw on to load and unload our trailers...then washed out immediately...before and after transport......WOW!!!!

[@Lololo99200]

Omg u r soooooo dumb

[@Molb0rg]

Omgh, first 1 minute 30 seconds so brilliant, like short movie - great! gangbangcowboy brothers by quentin tarantino.

[@oakelyelm]

100$ how is it possible to make money selling calfs for that much with all of the work and money that must go into getting them to that point in their life. (i now nothing about farms) nice videos

[@SledgeHammer43]

rob reinert at that point they are not off the mothers tit yet so cost up to that point is pretty low. probably around 50 to 75 dollars now.

[@gimpy3247]

Don Hanson these are holstein bull calves. Most dairy farms sell them bc they are not useful to the farms these calves are probably less then a week old. They are most likely fed waste milk from the cows after they have gotten their colustrum.

[@jamesbascombe8274]

Tim Nephew that depends on the farm. Mine get milk replacer after the colostrum from their mother. I dont like to use waste milk. To much bacteria in it unless you use a pasteurizer which I don't have.

[@leannelarnach1818]

Would u do a hunting or baiting animals video ?

[@TheRestOfTheStory]

Leanne Larnach could if we did but we dont

[@Mark-sb9zu]

This is why we don't let you bid why

[@peterjames2004]

why is the guy wearing a father christmas hat

[@_broits_george]

how do you know what the auction dude is saying?

[@57fitter]

All you need to listen for is the numbers.

[@_broits_george]

57fitter oh thanks

[@MrFunny-ig7cu]

24 no 23 get it right

[@michael.thordson]

[@57fitter]

Away from the truck for a good while and out of sight, yep, I'd lock it, too.

[@GUNSARELIFE]

[@jeanettetate7333]

[@josephbrandewie5145]

[@jarrettbuckles5910]

[@Nderak]

Auctions be like…
