CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Sunday at 11AM Central!
How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster 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. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
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.

If she is that much of a worker and helpful working cattle AND you two worked them that quietly with no screaming, yup, you two going to do just fine. True, your facilities more set up then ours.

[@billwieland8497]

OUCHIES!!

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video Ryan and Hannah thanks for sharing. I thought for a moment you were going to have squished kitty cat when you were moving the chute out 😮

[@clinthochrein888]

I bet there was a Rock Mountain oyster party that night? 😂 Great video!

[@tim_gifford]

This must have been serious work! Hannah didn’t wear her sandals 😂

[@billcreed6882]

Hanna sure is helpful! What would you do without her? :) Was she raised on a farm too?

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Does AC/DC ever cross your mind? "Big Balls" was what I was thinking as you were using the Calcicrate bander! Great video, and hope you are loving the Chute!

[@someperson7]

Gotta do the necessary

[@cdarting91]

Farm cats and dogs give me anxiety! Lol

[@ronniewalker2881]

Good video don't let Hannah get hurt

[@WiBill9282]

Ryan you need a farmers hat!

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Go Hannah

[@billwieland8497]

OUCH!

[@joshhurla]

I hate using that big bander, always concerned they're not tight enough or they're too tight and the band may break 😆

[@oldschool3441]

Would you ever put a communications tower on your land for extra income ??

[@HowFarmsWork]

There’s one farm we own that is on a high spot and would make a great place for one since service is subpar around it. For the minimal space they require, I’d think we would if it were needed there.

[@bigredgreg1]

@@HowFarmsWork, I don’t know much about tower sites but I understand that different cellular carriers lease space on available towers. If you can team up with industry insiders to build and maintain towers, you might generate income for years to come. Anybody out there who can add to this idea?

[@matthewwhite5642]

I wonder how many times a bowl is unloaded on him while he was down there in the back.

[@MACE1-1]

It takes a pair to cut a pair...

[@nalley6815]

Ryan at what point would you say a bull is too big to band? I’ve got a bull that just never got banded. Things happened and it just didn’t get done. I’ve kept him away from the herd but my barn blew down and the way we have it setup he was able to get back with the herd. He hasn’t been able to do anything but it’s time something is done. I would say he’s 900 or so. What would you do in your opinion? Sell him in tact or cut him or what exactly?

[@rogerfuhr8067]

I would ask a vet.

[@nalley6815]

@@rogerfuhr8067 probably will. Have a calf with a hurt leg that needs to go anyway

[@rogerfuhr8067]

I background steers and I would be leery of banding one that big. If it were mine, I would sell him intact, and not take a chance.

[@ronbuch6162]

Nice job! Back in my youth I had a few sheep and we used a tool called an elastrator to dock and castrate. What is the name of the tool you used to castrate?

[@davidthorne2129]

They are still around. There is also a giant one for calves up to about 350 kg (750 pounds).

[@benanderson7808]

Does Hannah like run the the equipment?

[@HowFarmsWork]

She does, and she's a better head gate operator than I am!
