How Farms Work 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. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
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.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!

"Off to the Mart!" as we say here in Ireland! :)

[@herdingcats3850]

Here in America, we say "Off to the Walmart!"

[@grahamfrench329]

I see why cowboys wore knee length boots.

[@kyleblizzard3633]

I think that cow has a headache. And love the vids

[@charliemota8354]

You are cool I want to be like you when I grow up. By the way I'm 10 years old.

[@dennisstraight]

Just keep doing what you do, you make great videos.

[@zacharyhenckel5005]

I think the steer that Ryan scared was a little possessed

[@harryhinsley7712]

That was mean I have cows but I don’t scar them

[@harryhinsley7712]

You don’t even muck them out

[@chrisparks60]

Great video as usual. I like the daily goings on of the farm life. I often fall into the rabbit hole of KZbin watching your videos.

[@nashguy207]

I liked this video. Glad the cows sold for more than you thought they would. Keep the videos coming. Have a great memorial day weekend. God Bless!!! What is traves channel on youtube?

[@Justin-hl8db]

The Rest of the Story is Travis's channel

[@barry4160]

2:04 lmao😂

[@lynnmoore2664]

I really enjoy watching your videos! I remember driving around Wisconsin when I was younger ,just seeing all the farms & loving the country ! I lived in Rockford IL till 1979 & a lot of the area & towns around Rockford were farming communities! Farming is a way of life & I know from my grandparents its not a way of getting rich & its long hours plus hard work. So watching your videos & Travis brings back fond memories of staying 2 weeks each summer on my grandparents farm in Pana IL. Thanks for sharing and take care

[@elaineorcastrayt5409]

Why? Are you so mean to your cows

[@logangiesen4167]

Liked the video. My brother and uncle work down at Bloomington Livestock Exchange

[@FarmallFanatic]

I stay reserved too lol. Always varies sale to sale, or so it seems

[@jamesball1136]

I love being on a farm as a kid now that I'm an adult with alot of health issues I haven't been on a farm in years now but hoping that one I can be back on a farm there is nothing better than waking up and smelling that fresh farm smell god bless everyone and to all the farmers who reads this I hope you have a good crop this year

[@donrutheford4192]

Great Video. I would suggest maybe buying some muck boots ! hehehe I always I try to put out a disclaimer, " please don't pay attention to my language while loading cattle" !!

[@Justin-hl8db]

Another great video Ryan, keep up the great work, and we're about to hit 150,000 subscribers 👍🏻

[@FARMALLL666]

LOVE YOU AND YOUR BROTHERS VIDEOS..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...AND ROCKET TOO...

[@TwoFarmBoys]

Awesome video! I'm probably going to be getting two or three feeder steers soon as well.

[@jeremyphillips2494]

That was another great video. Cattle prices were better for you than a lot of other farmers down in the midwest and the south. I guess it is a trade off for all the rain and weather headaches you guys have been having up north. Keep your head up. Your KZbin followers will stay true to you.

[@breezyridgeranch]

I enjoy the cattle videos. Being honest about the funds and income make it. Thanks again

[@watermanone7567]

Nice video and great price for those animals. John Deere looks nice and clean. Everybody is complaining about KZbin payments. What is up with them? Thanks for the Great Video's.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Yeah I don't keep flighty cattle either... they're no good-- just work themselves into a frenzy and do stupid stuff, totally unpredictable, and what's worse is the "herd instinct" kicks in and if you have ONE flighty idiot cow or bull then you have five others that see that and think, "wow, they're worked up, I guess I should be too!" and then you REALLY have a mess... Same thing with fence breakers... get out once, I'll run 'em back in and not worry about it too much, but a PERSISTENT fence jumper, or fence pusher, down the road they go... Again, the others see them do it, and pretty soon your ONE fence jumper turns into FIVE fence jumpers... Life is too short and I'm getting too old for that sh!t... Trailer ride replaces that problem with a check, which is better... Later! OL J R :)

[@stevenavila9969]

Enjoy your videos! I grew up on a dairy farm in calif we milked 800 cows 2x a day. The 1st Saturday of every month we would seperat heifers. As a kid we didn't like doing that because we would miss or Saturday cartoons! Lol. Your videos bring back a lot of memories!

[@buffranchAB]

Good price, at least you were surprised the right way Ryan, do you guys actually make a cool living on 35 to 40 g a year, you and bro Travis, or more like break even ?

[@josephklingshirn7818]

Ryan, Keep up the excellent videos. I was hoping your check was over 5000 USD for the sale of your cattle. I am a follower of How Farms Work and The Rest of the Story.

[@citydrunk3810]

Hello Ryan I hope you are doing well..... I love your content and the videos you make thank you for taking the time to make them ...... I just had a question for you.... I Know that dairy cattle are more work with milking and all that but i was wondering which bring more money beef cows or milking cows... Thank you for your time....

[@mitchellward3181]

I love going to cattle auctions and I think you did really good at the auction keep up the good work

[@stevensikora9535]

Ryan!!! Awesome stuff! Less then 8 years before I retire from the military and I’m coming to work for you!!! Look out for my application!

[@tomcampbell815]

I appreciate your going through the check you received for your cattle! Could you make a video sometime explaining the difference between Hedge to arrive and Basis contracts? Thanks again!!

[@MatthewHoag77]

Yay, time to make some money! Do you think your operation would be more profitable if you raised all your steers to fat (fed) weight instead of selling them at feeder weight? While revenue is nice, profit is even better. Thank you for sharing the information that you have to the extent you do. The quality of your videos complements the timeliness of The Rest of the Story, so don't ever worry about "keeping up" with your brother for our sake. Wishing you all the best from central Iowa. Oh, and kill the wasps. KILL *ALL* THE WASPS!

[@Boothrat]

I really enjoy your videos. I'm not a farmer,but I enjoy the way you explain the way things work. Oh yeah Go Rocket!

[@jacobvolk8676]

You did make good money for those cow. I wish I could make that much. I have Holstein and black Angus. Love watching you videos

[@wil34701]

Hi Ryan, have you or would you every consider running JCB? I am starting to see more and more farms and contractors across the UK running the 4000 and 8000 series Fastrac, and having driven one myself I can honestly say they are fantastic all-round machines. Do you have anyone running JCBs in your area? Keep up the good work

[@paulhudson8321]

Your cattle prices not that much different from our prices in Ontario,Canada. Your cattle looked in nice shape too. Lots of regulations now for shipping cattle or any livestock. They have to be specially tagged.

[@leol1682]

Love the videos your making Ryan .

[@NoctiDraws]

Great vid! You have some nice looking steers there. Hope they gave you some good returns. A few things though, the yelling at the start of the vid was a little excessive and unnecessary. By no means is it abuse, of course! It's just those steers had quite a large flight zone, they looked easy to move just by walking near them. Also glad that whip didn't touch the steers, they were behaving quite well, even though they were a little jumpy! Lol

[@clintreiman3322]

Will you be going live at the World Livestock Auctioneering Championship?

[@doomaster4302]

Great video again. Good to hear you're almost done planting. Looking forward to the next video. Now where's my hat?😁

[@AndersFelten]

I like the way you do your videos. Thanks for showing us som much that goes on around the farm! Ps. The 7600 looks big from that angle! :)

[@antonkonings9936]

In A crooked ros grows more becaus the dictance is biggen Im sorry im bad at english

[@Andrea-hz2ig]

Choose me for your t-shirt! :-) joking apart, nice work! I really appreciate your job!

[@mark-ky6sx]

Love the videos grew up on a dairy farm in Ohio. It sold out trying to farm again definitely harder to start from scratch. Instead of doing dairy I've been raising goats. Want to start feeding out beef cattle. Do you ever find it hard to sell your cattle ? Like emotional attachment ? My wife wants to keep every goat we have I tell her it doesn't work that way...

[@jacobotes8443]

Really nice to see how selling cattle is done in your area.Here in South Africa it very similar except that the seller gets his check mostly on the same day. Love how you scared the steer(heifer?) at 2:00. It was hilarious and made my day:). Greetings

[@kendrickbledsoe5478]

I really liked the video because I have the same problem with my cows. I'm trying to keep as many heifers as possible but with the drought in Colorado it is very hard to do so. We were feeding hay into mid May on all of our cows and almost had to buy some. Our first measurable precipitation came May 5th and we are hoping the rain keeps up to replenish our shortage of hay from feed so late this year. As always loved the video.

[@isabellaserra-sanfelin2284]

Corrugated flooring around that corner or adjust run angles away from 90 degrees. Reduce the risk of injury to the cattle and yourselves.

[@bernardosurt480]

Hi Ryan! I'm From Argentina. How I can buy a t-shirt? Thanks a lot for your videos!

[@kdhughes4407]

really good job Ryan, my Grandfather never liked the newer Tech he always teached us the old ways before we got to the new machines. the farm was started in 1917 till today

[@rtvlogs8483]

good video I enjoy watching your videos 3 weeks ago I bought a couple steers 1 black angus and 1 Holstein to fill freezers I lost the angus one to pneumonia I plan on going to another auction sometime soon what kind do you suggest I buy black angus and Holstein to raise to sell for a little more money?

[@Overwatcher397]

The pricing seems pretty typical for us around northern Ohio, to buy a head it raised by 50% between last year and this but we should sell for a bit more! Great video as always

[@kkarhoff85]

I appreciate your videos and willingness to show a in-depth look into the financial side. I'm looking to sell some cattle and some will be sold privately for saluter. Do you guys ever sell to friends and family or is all to sell barn? And do you think you can make more one way over the other?

[@jeffgixer5185]

The cattle that weighed over 1000 are almost finished fat cattle. They may have went to kill. They looked pretty good.

[@allenwilliams267]

Really like seeing Iowa in action now that I live in Missouri..........

[@garyroach3479]

U come out ahead on price of ur cattle and like watching ur videos bc u and ur family just like mine just trying to stay ahead on keeping farm going and making profit so can't wait to see ur next video and been watching ur brothers videos also so till next video be safe on the farm

[@simoncrawford6431]

Great videos. Your my favorite.I live in southern Illinois on a grain farm and started a my channel because of you.

[@cnalley76]

I enjoy your videos. as a former dairy farmer watching your videos brings back some good memories of my teenage years... thanks for taking me along with your operation..

[@timmendick5158]

Really enjoyed this video, your setup pushing the cattle through the shack reminds me of how my grandpa had his loading pen set up.

[@ajrose3196]

Doing a great job on the videos. I just found them yesterday and I ran my phone dead watching as many as I could. Showed the my kids the things I did and drove when I was growing up farming in Ohio. Reminds me a lot of when I was younger and my parents current farm operation. Keep up the good work.

[@jacksonk5308]

I would give anything to be a farmer. I know it’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely for me.

[@efish8764]

Hey Ryan love the videos. And about the straight vs zig zag rows I don't personally live on a farm but my uncle does and he has a taste for case don't worry john deere is better and he tested in out and said that straight rows have a slightly more bushels per acre.

[@RJ-rn3uv]

Yes it is true... because a crooked row is longer than a straight row...and that is why you get more out of a crooked row.

[@canvids1]

I get a kick out of trying to catch the livestock and they don't know if they are coming or going. The mud was a bonus. Yes I would love to win a hat.

[@ellenvonschrott5853]

I like your videos I also subscribed keep doing them me and my family watch them each day

[@bohnfrazer7097]

Forgot the risk of equipment failure and the dangerous work.

[@michaelxyz7588]

How much cattles living on your Farm ? Best regards from Austria

[@mattitorkko]

Nice video again, you show versatile how farms work :) a Hat would be nice :)

[@michaelcharles7389]

enjoy watching and learning how farming differs across the country

[@cdarting91]

Does the 7600 ever get duals? Or do you like to keep some tractors without duals to keep your options open?

[@cameronmcgaw6628]

I look forward to watching your videos and i have been subscribed since the first farm show.Keep up the good work

[@lafiegeeslin1165]

Great video! A family friend of are's owns a 7610 John Deere tractor

[@timhill473]

Great video, can tell the two of you have had a little practace at sorting cattle, very nice looking moo cows, a couple of them in my freezer would look reallll goood!!!! lol

[@nealrydberg2721]

I really love your videos I tell a lot about what you do for a living and I love you and how are you take care of your animals and bir are you passionate about it. Keep it up you’re the The best bloggers at your video .

[@chandlerthompson1075]

Keep up the great work! My brother and I both enjoy watching your videos!

[@vandenberglm]

My kids and I love the videos! Keep the good quality videos coming!

[@agrotopics7557]

hi Ryan my name is mason and i love watching your videos. i like the videos when you take in some cattle to auction, i like seeing how much you get from them. I hope i win but if i dont its ok. keep up with the awesome videos.

[@dougchristopher2072]

I'm commenting only for the hat, but it was interesting about the way cattle is sold.😀

[@midwesthuntingtactics1315]

great video i cant believe you had such a weight difference in the calves and you did really well here in madison county the market is kinda on the downhill slide. love the film quality

[@nateamidon2370]

Hey Ryan your my favorite KZbinr and I would like to meet up with you sometime.

[@kimconquest856]

that cow hitting the guardrail knocked the wind out of me lol! always enjoy your videos. and looks like that goose neck ball needs a little grease.

[@HRWWW]

That wasn’t a bad price at all, when you plan on taking cattle in do you usually make sure you have quite a few for the haul?

[@erricktjepkema9948]

Just wondering is Travis truck a diesel or a gas. Manual or auto. Just curious.

[@ryanw.2302]

Like watching the videos and like seeing how the different machines work. They are all so interesting to me.

[@ryanb3871]

How many mils did you put on your new truck ever since you bought it? Great vid.

[@watchvidz9771]

Thanks for sharing the prices you got for your cattle - very interesting.

[@paulrichardson2903]

I enjoy all your videos. Thanks and Merry Christmas

[@Pepsi2man]

I like all of your videos and really like harvest time videos. Your videos are done very well and keep up the great work.

[@harry2660]

Are you going to buy more livestock? Keep the great work up with them awesome videos .

[@kingofkush5220]

That's crazy I really didn't think you would get that much $

[@farmbossbob6872]

That looks like fun. Plus the funnest part of the sale barn is it’s all wood and you know how straight wood works

[@geraldhaury4199]

Enjoyed the video. I always wanted to raise a few head of cattle. I was too young when my dad was still alive and we had cattle. They were all sold when he past away and I have never had the chance to be around farming since.

[@malevolent_70]

Have you ever thought about doing a video of the livestock auction? I miss going to those when we raised cattle.

[@MrBfg1978]

The cattle were in good shape going to the auction (the mart as we call it in Ireland).Good to see a fair return on the work the you put into them all year.Great videos.

[@Jason-hm1qy]

Defiantly wouldn’t want to get infront of them cattle 😂 also great vidio ryan

[@edwarddickinson1938]

Hello Ryan!, are you going to have another farm day this year 2018?

[@kisszivattyus]

Nice video! Greetings fromHungary! :)

[@awsomeman62]

Hey Ryan, you are definitely a funny guy. I like Travis’s sense of humor and the things he says but I find the things you do just hilarious. Yelling at those cows made my day. Thanks for all you do!

[@hamzaamir4845]

Another sick pos that thinks murdering and yelling at animals is "funny", what would have been funny is the cow realizing how weak and pathetic the human is and trample him to death.....I would donate money for that video.

[@awsomeman62]

Hamza Amir thank you for your reply. I would like to say you are one big moron as you just talk about humor I find in harmlessly yelling at a animal who who is dumber than a door knob and calling me a pos. I’d like to then point out you tell me you would find it great to see a human getting trampled to death. I definitely value a human life a lot more than a cows “mental health state” from getting yelled at for a 5 second period that they won’t remember in 30 seconds. Remember for the future, if you want people to find out how dumb you are, open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[@hamzaamir4845]

I see you took your own advice.

[@wontonwarrior2832]

enjoyed the video. laughed a little when the feeders were slipping and sliding around the lot

[@z1rdirtbiking592]

How many cows do ya have on our farm we have just a little under 2000 milk cow

[@lanespieker6701]

I loved the video! I like how you have three different series tractors like from brand new to old ad to old school
