The Cattle Have NOT Performed As Planned | Bar 7 Ranch

[@DanielMartinez-sg2cq]

At my office job just watching y'all ranch 😂 It helps my soul I guess I'm a rancher at heart 😎

[@Bar7Ranch]

We love that Daniel ❤️

[@mikewitcombe6507]

Rancher's and farmers are the toughest and kindest people i know. Thanks for this video. Cheers from Iowa. 👍👏👏🙏

[@Bar7Ranch]

No doubt! Thanks for watching!

[@jimdelong949]

So that's how you do that.😊 Thanks for sharing. Ericka, You should never question a complement. I have a sister who used to do that, until I quit giving them. Once she missed them , she quit questioning.😊 Enjoyed watching you two work together.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Ha! Some people just don’t take compliments well 🤷🏻‍♀️ Wish I could! It’s a humility thing.

[@cks57youto53]

Loved watching y'all work together .. BTW alot of rain comming in Sunday .. thank the lord for this mild summer for sure! God bless 🙏

[@Bar7Ranch]

We need some rain! ❤️

[@nathantimm1633]

The Weather, my number one stress .. When & If it’s gonna rain…. Story of my life. 🤠

[@Bar7Ranch]

Also most farming accidents are from rushing and trying to save time. On the animal side, slow down and realize what the task at hand is prior to and through the first few and things will eventually fall into place. Machinery is totally different, NEVER think that it is a good idea to do anything while the machine is running or hooked up to a running source. Turn it off, inspect and repair. This is by no means a nasty comment, if only one person reads this and thinks about it later in life then that’s what it is for. Raised on a farm and personally know farmers that have been taken away due to “SAVING TIME” leaving the tractor running with the PTO on a shit spreader being froze and trying to free it up and slipped on the ice while getting it freed up and being sent through the spreader. Not much to identify in the situation. Please take time and be cautious.🇺🇸🙏

[@hhs73girl]

@shawnkane7152 amen. Remember while farming often we are alone which can have deadly results. Be safe out there friends

[@lifeofrazor]

New subscriber 😊 loving the content. One question is some of the cattle brangus? Or you got a mixture of different types

[@sharonm3677]

Ericka, I love those earrings! Are those turquoise stones, they’re beautiful! Loved your video and always enjoy seeing you two work side by side, you’ve got rhythm! Thank you for sharing Cody and using your channel to promote therapy and good mental health. Everyone needs someone to talk to at some point along the path of life and it’s nice to have people that they trust and admire such as yourselves to give reassurance to reach out for some support through difficult times. Farmers and Ranchers carry a huge burden of stress on their shoulders as it’s their livelihood and not a job you walk away from in eight hours. Your family always makes my heart feel good. By the way I love the sound of the gates, don’t grease them. Lol. ❤❤

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks for the kind note and always interacting with us Sharon. It is a subject near and dear to hearts for many reasons. ❤️ And, yes, you wouldn’t believe the number of comments we get about greasing gates. It’s like music to our ears ❤️

[@hhs73girl]

Hey! Hope y'all are doing well. ITS BEEN HOT DON'T GIVE UP HUN.

[@Bar7Ranch]

It is SO hot!

[@leelaurence83]

That squeeze chute is awesome. Looks like it’s working out well for y’all. My Grandad woulda loved something like that. His chutes were beat up, rusted, and hard to work. Y’all’s set up looks amazing. God is so good, and I pray his blessings continue to pour out on y’all. Prayers & love from Alsdorf!

[@Bar7Ranch]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Rangeley]

Keep doing what you’re doing guys. KEEP ranching.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Always ❤️

[@janetscott5252]

Long days, hard work! God bless!🙏💜🙏

[@Bar7Ranch]

For sure ❤️

[@Nickthemechanic63]

Hey y’all! I’m wanting to do cattle in the future so how do I start a small cattle farm? I just want about 20 or so. Also a good video idea would be about how to start ranching and having livestock. Love the videos btw!!

[@robertensign8786]

Marry a rich woman

[@mikebonge7206]

Great job

[@Bar7Ranch]

❤️

[@carolladd9847]

Do you make alot of your dinners in the crockpot or slowcooker since you are so busy? Thank you for introducing BetterHealth. You did a great service.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Since we are carnivore now, we dont use the crockpot much. I make a roast a week in it and then we usually grill the rest or use the airfryer. Either way, just eating meat has definitely simplified things for us! We usually find ourselves eating really late unfortunately since it stays daylight so long. And thank you Carol. It's definitely a subject near to our hearts.

[@joshmcmillen9803]

Look into feed efficency genetics for your feedlot steers. Byergo Angus. Savannah MO

[@metalmacabre9991]

People like y'all are the backbone of America. I appreciate all the hard work y'all go through. Y'all keep America fed. Love your content.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks so much

[@seanyancy1809]

Beef jerky on the hoove . Love the sound all those gates make a symphony Yall Keep On Ranching.

[@Bar7Ranch]

We do too!!!

[@Farmerman336]

Hey yall love the channel

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thank you!!!

[@blazey5236]

Cody, there’s a National school program called farm to school. They encourage schools to buy locally. It’d be a good steady source of revenue but your beef would have to be USDA inspected.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks! We plan on moving to USDA inspected. We have some schools here locally moving to local beef!

[@ellelyn2000]

Thanks to you both, Nice to see a little bit of your daily routine. It looks hot, hope you get a chance for a breather. 🎉

[@Bar7Ranch]

It is definitely hot!

[@chrisjohnson1552]

How much roughage have you supplied up to this point?

[@Bar7Ranch]

Since entering the feedlot, they are on about a 10% roughage.

[@megd7593]

Maybe I missed it, but what is the implant for? Really enjoy your videos!

[@roythayer9850]

Grease your feedlot gate hinges lol

[@Bar7Ranch]

Overrated

[@BRENTTULLY-c1e]

Hi 👋

[@Bar7Ranch]

Hi Brent!!

[@Utah_Mike]

Heat is rough on everything

[@Bar7Ranch]

Sure is

[@scarlethenderson6510]

Y'all are awesome❤

[@Bar7Ranch]

❤️

[@ShainCaldwell]

How far away is your feed lot area from the squeeze chute?

[@Bar7Ranch]

About 3/4 of a mile

[@buddyhenson2559]

Great video! I was thinking that you might consider getting an iPad with a tough/rugged case to record your steers when you run them through for weighing etc. It might be a little easier to enter the info etc than using your phone. Just a thought!

[@Bar7Ranch]

Thanks Buddy! We’ve brought the iPad up the a couple times but just forgot to grab it this time! 😂

[@jaymartinez7654]

You both make such a good team!!! Cody you are the luckiest man to be able to work with the most beautiful women on a ranch!!! Unbelievable!!! You are so beautiful Erika❤️ and you Cody, you handsome young man❤️ love you Erika, and I guess you too Cody. You both make my day when I watch your videos. Awesome Folk!!!

[@Bar7Ranch]

Very kind ❤️

[@jaredspear8140]

Sure hope my beef starts gaining for you guys! We’ve definitely had some weird weather this summer. It’s now raining and in the 60’s in Oklahoma hope y’all are getting the same down south!

[@Bar7Ranch]

Don’t worry!! 😊

[@yankogratreak2558]

keep it up -7

[@Bar7Ranch]

Will do!!

[@shirleygilbert2428]

Yes but no mater how long we've farmed we still rush because we have more than we can get done

[@Bar7Ranch]

Always something to do!

[@tammymyer5347]

Thank God for the supplemental income that you’re able to make through social media and through collaborations. That surely has to help. That was not an option for ranchers and farmers in years past. I’ve really enjoyed following you guys as a family and as ranchers and as fellow Christians.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Definitely! It has been a very unexpected blessing to us.

[@phyllisbonham9264]

Steers ? In-plant w/what ?? Just asking

[@garycoxjr.4668]

Not saying therapy is a bad thing but give it to the lord and your prayers and faith should get you through it the almighty is the best therapist. I really enjoy your videos keep ranchin and prayin

[@Bar7Ranch]

Always give it to the Lord. Thankful that He equips therapists on earth that can help in times of need. ❤️

[@tommymartinez1666]

I can't see how y'all expect them steers to gain weight if the owners are losing weight, they probably figure they better lose weight too lol😮

[@Bar7Ranch]

We’re eating less so they can eat more 😂

[@mazterchal8342]

Can I give a hug Cody oneday ? ❤

[@Bar7Ranch]

Cody hates hugs 😂😂😂

[@mazterchal8342]

@Bar7Ranch awww. At least can I give him a kiss on his cute cheek? 😍

[@tammymyer5347]

Y’all should consider doing a summer camp for younger kids for one week out of the summer like half a day summer camp I’m sure it would be extra work of course, but you could generate income doing that and the kids would love it! I’m not sure about how you would handle any kind of liability. I guess that could be an issue. I don’t know. I’m just thinking off the top of my head that it would be really fun for kids to spend time on a farm and learn to appreciate what all goes into farming and where their food comes from.

[@Bar7Ranch]

Yes my grandmother has always wanted to do that on their place!! We enjoyed the FFA kids we had out recently and hope to host groups occasionally on a small scale for now. ❤️

[@robbubba8020]

Just like ya'll on your carnivore diet it takes some gettin used to ya'll are just now seeing your results after how long them beeves will be the same way they'll start comin around and gettin proud here soon always a pleasure ya'll take care bless ya'll

[@Bar7Ranch]

So true!

[@derrickbibbs9928]

Because it’s been hot they just like you when it’s hot they not going to eat a lot and they are not going to gain when it’s a 100 degrees

[@mattdavis7558]

👍

[@miguelw2491]

Just curious if this first turn of steers is just trial and error? Or, are you tracking purchase cost, inbound freight, interest, feed, yardage, medicine cost, feed conversion, cost of gain, etc.?

[@Bar7Ranch]

We’ve been feeding steers for 10+ years on a smaller scale. We track everything.

[@mikemontgomery7337]

You better explain the implant on your next video. Because the young generations today have been brainwashed about steroids and drugs !!!

[@Bar7Ranch]

Now I’m going to have to rewatch the video 🤦🏻‍♀️ We must have put that content in a short video because I know we talked about it. Sometimes things get jumbled!

[@SJKlaus2798]

Why would think it is just the young people’s? Some people don’t want to use any of that stuff and yes I know about all that and we use none of that stuff in our beef cattle and they gain just fine and butcher out great. Been cattle ranching 54 years and each rancher does there on thing.

[@levijones4529]

If you have never heard of R-Calf USA, give the organization a look. Supporting independent US farmers and ranchers is something we all could be doing better at, and that is what that organization stands for.
