How I Raise Holstein Steers!! weaning to 500Lbs.

[@williamwimer2074]

Nice little setup..Hopefully you can get it fixed up...and more usable , shame silo is bad. I've done Holsteins before. , yours look good

[@heritageridgefarms1343]

Awesome video! Very helpful information, steers look good!

[@clintwalton319]

Very good video! Awesome info! Thanks for sharing!

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks for watching!!

[@rogerwilson9361]

I like the looks of the steers, how big is the farm in which the land owner milked 30 head.

[@landmarkcattle5220]

its around 100 acres but has a lot of woods! thanks!!

[@001035925]

How did you build the scale? Can you make a video of it?

[@michiganfarming1955]

I bet you'll can work with the landowner. Better buy that farm too! Steers are looking good! Nice feedway too. Might not be much but I like it!

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks and I'll probably talk to them. They might work with me on it!

[@michiganfarming1955]

Landmark cattle good luck buddy!

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks man!

[@c6farms952]

They sure look good we have trouble with pink in our bottle calves too

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks! It's becoming a real problem!!

[@c6farms952]

Have you took a sample in to the vet to have them make a vaccine for the kind of pink eye you have?

[@tedkahler9738]

great video...

[@pricecattlefarmpricecattle7449]

What kind of scales are they? I would like to get a set to weight calves.

[@pricecattlefarmpricecattle7449]

Thanks. I'll check them out

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Steers look good they like their corn just fine good vid I would love to use a silo or see one up close

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks! They work pretty good! The only thing I don't like I climbing them to let the unloaders down!

[@smileyclownyloks9949]

Do beef calves drink bottle calves?

[@netovilla4260]

Yes

[@danxxish6093]

About how much do they weigh if you keep them only for a year? 700lbs or so?

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Danxxish yes, on this feeding program

[@dogwoodish]

any money in steers ?

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

You do the best you can with what you have. They are on pasture I assume, I didn't see anything fence

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Yeah they're one pasture! I'm going to start feeding hay soon because the grass isn't that great!

[@Judi-Graff]

Interesting. It's hard to put money in improvements when you don't own the property

[@landmarkcattle5220]

You're right! We offered to buy it but they want a lot more than were willing to give.

[@c6farms952]

The sad thing is land don't get cheaper later down the road.

[@cowcamp87]

pour the corn to them....they willl gain over 4 lbs a day...packers dont want rangey old 8 wt holsteins

[@pricecattlefarmpricecattle7449]

How much corn should a 500lb Holstein eat?

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Thanks for you input!! I'm giving the 8 lbs. right now!

[@cowcamp87]

+PriceCattleFarm PriceCattleFarm if i was feeding them, theyd be eating double that. as far as pinkeye....most vaccines you need to double vacinate them. if you re vaccinated them itll probably solve your pinkeye issues. thats been my experience

[@simpletrader547]

how many holsteins do you raise? what is your mix per head cow?

[@landmarkcattle5220]

Not too many. 75-100 steers. I'm feeding between 8-10 lbs per day

[@simpletrader547]

ok, thanks What do you feed , cracked corn, sweet feed, ?
