New stocker steers arrive!

[@delmarhodges995]

I enjoy watching you so calm around the cattle

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Kinda like with kids, they feed off your energy, attitude, etc. Calm and collected makes things go smoother! Like the saying goes, “slow is smooth. Smooth is fast”

[@danielcollins7588]

You need a tape measure, really handy invention😊😊😊

[@jvenema86]

so wonderful beautiful video friend Bobby i love it so much see so nice

[@douglasfuller7020]

AWSOME . BEN WAITEN ALL WK FOR UR VIDEO WITH THE STOCKER STEERS .LOL THANX 👍

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Good deal! Thanks for watching

[@Kaya084]

Nothing like those tornado drills at school (k-8 1990-1999). I always found it funny (at my school at least) our hallways had solid glass doors at each end. Why, yes, let’s leave the safety of the cinder block windowless classrooms, for the hall with glass doors. You will be safer, just cover your head with your arms, lol 🤣😂 But being from tornado alley, you hear sirens or get tornado warning alerts, you go outside and see if you really need to take cover or not.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Exactly! Our school is all cinder block, so it’s almost certainly safer than most of the kid’s homes. We definitely go outside to look when the sirens go off!

[@daron3306]

Looking forward to an update on these calves

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

We’ve updated on them in most of our recent videos. They sell next week, so our next few videos will feature us gathering, sorting, and shipping them.

[@coveychasefarm]

That beer after working that last calf is always one of the best of the year!

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Absolutely!

[@barm9687]

Turn the big bridge, cattle guard, long ways and drag it to the ditch with the sxs or tractor.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

I definitely thought about that, but I decided to utilize those smaller ones. That big one will be put to use at some point. Thanks for watching!

[@billking5407]

Nice looking group of cattle ,enjoy the video keep them coming be safe

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Thank you. Safety reminders are always welcome. We tend to always be in a hurry and that can lead to accidents. Thanks for watching

[@tammycox9789]

I like this video. Excited to see the stocker steers to arrive finally.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Definitely one of the more exciting times of the year for us!

[@jamielandis4606]

We’re learning a lot from you. I enjoy these excursions into your life as a farmer.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

I’m truly happy to hear that. Our goal with this channel is to allow folks to see things that they may not otherwise get to experience. We believe agriculture should tell its own story without the biased opinions you see from media and celebrities that have no clue about how a farm really works. Thanks for watching!

[@sandrareed2397]

We all have to get ready for April showers.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Oh yeah. We got more again today

[@bj1335]

Great videos 👍. What are you using to put weight on them. Just grass ?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Yes, they get about a pound of feed per day just to keep them calm and coming to feed bunk.

[@SlayermikeFishingandMORE]

That would be so cool having a creek run through the property I do a lot of creek fishing love the content

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

There are a few spots along the creek that are deep enough to hold a few fish, but I bet you have bigger & better creeks that you get to fish in! Thanks for watching

[@jamespetty9545]

Have you done a video on the new squeeze chute.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Have not done a video specifically on the chute like a review or anything like that. I have been pretty happy with it after running a total of about 60 head through it.

[@crockerfarms8277]

What brand of corral set up do you have?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Allen Gate and Panel out of Prattsville, AR

[@leeneely5457]

How much weight do you expect to put on the steers before selling?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

They typically gain right around 1lb/day just grazing. We typically buy this time of year and sell at thanksgiving, so expect about 250lbs of gain.

[@andredejager484]

What age and weights are these steers please

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Oh man, this was a while ago. They were between 550-600 lbs. That’s usually just about always where we buy them

[@tylerfleming51]

Hey man love your content and your videos. Was wondering if you could do a video or an episode of talk dirt to me on why you buy bulls vs steers is it just not enough steers at the barn your buying or are the bulls more profitable over the steers? In our experience with our stocker operation we are usually seeing an 50-80 weight gain difference with the steers gaining more than the ones we buy as bulls and band. Just wondering if you are experiencing anything different or similar than we are! Love the content! God bless.

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Really good question. I’ll make a note to dive into that on the podcast next week & I’ll try to hit on it in an upcoming video.

[@CWebb1330]

What's your thoughts on the C & B Chute after running the stockers through it? Comparison to the Preifert? I'm getting ready to buy a squeeze, and like the looks of the C & B. Why did you go with the auto head gate over the manual? Thanks for the input!!

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

I definitely like the auto catch on the C&B versus the manual priefert head gate. I also like the lower side door opening on the c&b for access to castrate/band. I’d say the squeeze and tail gate is good on both. Overall, I’d buy another C&B over the priefert. Our priefert has stood the test of time, though, and only time will tell if the C&B holds up! Thanks for watching

[@daronhemphill7006]

Haven't watched whole video yet.is that a calicrate bander? had a calf one of his test. Was side ways in sack and couldn't get California band on it

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Yes, it is the callicrate. We like it for these bulls that are bigger than what we feel comfortable cutting.

[@daronhemphill7006]

It's in my list

[@leeasherbranner355]

Is that a C and B chute? How do you like it?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

It sure is. We’ve been real happy with it. Have a priefert on our other farm. There’s things a like better about each of them. For the money, the C&B is a dang good product.

[@leeasherbranner355]

@@HurricaneCreekFarms I live about 45 miles south of them. I've been weighing my options and keeping coming back to them. Is yours the Angus or the Hereford?

[@tammycox9789]

What are your plans for the stocker steers? Are you going to breed them and sell to people?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

No, we’ll graze them until November and sell them as one full truckload. They usually go to Iowa to a feed lot at that point. Some of these were already castrated and we banded (one castration method) the ones who were still bulls, so these guys will have no reproductive function. Steers are more desirable and valuable as feeder animals. Good questions & thanks for watching!

[@joeyjennette9408]

Where did u get uer stockers .did u use an order buyer and who did u use to haul them and how much the charge

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

We used an order buyer. $4.50/mile for trucking and they were shipped by the same sale barn that we bought them through. They have that ground load trailer that can haul 45-50 head of those size calves.

[@joeyjennette9408]

@@HurricaneCreekFarms when you place your order how does that work did they charge so much per head for buying them

[@denniswaite7998]

why do you castrate the males?

[@HurricaneCreekFarms]

Stops undesirable and unsafe behaviors. Bulls will fight, mount each other, and just generally have more behavioral issues.
