Shipping A Load Of Finished Steers!

[@allanholiday1617]

As a cattle rancher from Kansas I love how you treat your animals, nice any quiet, low stress. Cattle pots (trucks) in Kansas can load 90,000 pounds if the trailer has a third axle. Cant drive on interstate highway but state highway are fine. I won an award one year for running over the most mailboxes with my rig. A good truck is about $160,000 new and the trailer is $90,000. Holstein steers fattened with grain are fantastic.

I feel like you have honoured the animal by raising it to an appropriate age, fed them extremely well, they live in great conditions and are placed into a well ventilated truck. I'm happy you showed this part of farming, its an often hidden part, which it shouldn't be hiding leads to dis-imformation, transparency leads to trust.

My father raises Angus beef cows and I definitely am happiest with the idea of the calves growing up with their mothers out on pasture grass. However, I think it is a wonderful thing that you all are able to raise up your steers and provide them with equal care to the heifer calves and finish them at home. I like to watch you all working with the young calves, because you can see the care and gentleness used which I think is lacking in some larger operations.

Jan, thanks for the inside tour of the cattle liner and the explanation. See them on the road all the time and always wondered how they were laid out. Don’t apologize for what you do. Farmers work extremely hard to feed our nation as we can tell by watching your videos. I was also wondering if you processed your own meat. Your family are among a select few that can sit down to a good meal knowing everything on the table was produced by your own hands. Not many can say that.

When i lived in rural Saskatchewan, we had an old building we wanted gone so we rang up the local fire dept and offered it to them to burn down for training purposes as well.

[@brokenandcraked]

I live in southern Ontario and I know a couple that bought an old house that they were going to demolish. They called the fire department and offered it to them to burn.

As I understand it (not a farmer, but i know some), there are scrap metal companies that will come to a farm and take scrap metal away, as long as the farmer has accumulated a certain number of pounds of metal.

I have been raising and eating Holstein steers for 40 years . They come from a local dairy . I bottle feed and grain feed them , I have raised beef steers along side them a couple of times to compare. Once the hide is off and it’s on the plate 99.9% of people can’t tell the difference.
