When I got my 3 black angus I opened the trailer the ran out looked around about 4 minutes my daughters horse ran up to them to smell them they took off ran through 5 strand of barbed wire . 2 stoped in my neighbor’s pasture which is connected with mine. The other kept going. Finally found her week later in another neighbor’s pasture. He kept her for about 2 months then one day I came home he caught her brought her back. Thank god for good neighbor’s .

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Dang! That’s always what I’m afraid of. Then running off.

[@coyroberts8356]

Hold them when you can!!!!

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks for watching.

[@coyroberts8356]

Prayers thanks 😊

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks for watching.

[@robertwindisch394]

I always unload any new cattle into a corral for a day or two to make sure they don't get out and try to head back home

[@SheratonParkFarms]

You’re right. I should have. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching.

[@dwighthires3163]

It was enjoyable seeing the way you handled these cows. Good work at maintaining dignity as you worked your livestock. You are a good man. God bless you and all you put your hand to do.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks Dwight. Appreciate you watching.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@SheratonParkFarms]

👍

[@dayneholt4149]

I think waiting till spring to finish out the new heifers may pay off with some bigger, better finished beef. Best wishes, Blessings. 😊

[@SheratonParkFarms]

I think so too. We’ll see how they do. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelamercado6902]

Those cows are pretty Their coats are nice and shiny They really looked good to me which is a good sign of health.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Yeah. We are very happy with them. Thanks for watching.

[@dmark6699]

Cattle seem pretty well trained.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

They are ok I think.

[@thesavorylife7707]

We are starting out the same way. I have a question though… aren’t you worried about bringing in some illness to your home herd? Even the little farms up here quarantine livestock for a minimum of 30 days. I’m not suggesting you are doing “it” wrong just want to hear your perspective of intergrading new livestock

[@karenladwig]

Great video Chuck! You show great care for the animals.

[@bigseejohnson6804]

If your new heifers come in heat, your bull is sure to breed them all. You might want to remove your Bull. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We did. He’s gone.

[@drumhillerfarms6858]

I always quarantine any new animals for several days or a week before integrating with my herd especially when buying them from a farm that “uses grain to keep them coming up”

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Good point.

[@Julia_Teeker]

Escape artists! 😂

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Yep 😆😆

[@ethanbohnert4611]

New cows will run the fence it's just there thing I do week in holding pin wen I bring home calfs n cows from sale barn

[@SheratonParkFarms]

You are exactly right. That’s what they did. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching.

[@leighmonty13]

Doing it right as always 2 out 2 or more back in ,great video

[@RenewedHomestead]

Thanks for the breakdown. Do you have any tips for finding a good butcher? A friend of ours who used to be in the business said they are harder to find than an honest car salesman. 😂 We want to sell our hair sheep meat. Thanks so much! God bless.

[@fredperry9360]

Yes, keep them up for a little while.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

I should have. They ended up doing fine overnight and today. Thanks for watching.

[@fredperry9360]

@@SheratonParkFarms I always tried to keep my new animals up for a few days. I didn't always succeed LOL.

[@darylbrown7849]

Nice. I was surprised with your pasture. Mine crunches when i walk on it. Bugs wont even eat it😅

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We’ve been blessed with plenty of rain this year. Thanks for watching.

[@jermainewyatt1995]

Nice looking cows love watching your videos

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks. Appreciate y’all watching.

[@jermainewyatt1995]

Ur welcome

[@TheBockCast]

Another great episode

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thank you sir!

[@benjaminbennallack1190]

Love the video. I’m 20 years old, my grandfather willed to me a 80 acre plot of land in north west mountain has been in the family for generations but Im the only one in the family who wants to keep the legacy. About 55 acres of good grazing land the rest is forest. I’m still praying on it if I should have a cow calf operation or stalker cows. What would you recommend? I have pigs, egg and meat chickens, sheep and bees just need the cows to make the property hole lol. God bless and keeping you in prayers.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

I like stockers myself. Less drama and you have a product you can sell directly to the customer = more money in your pocket.

[@bryanb1259]

Great vid. Nice cows👍

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Best of luck with the new additions to the family/increase to the inventory! I hope everything goes smooth. Are you able to get appointments at the processor for the new cows with them being finished (maybe) in just 120 days or so? I was under the impression that there had been a long wait for processor appointments. Take care and God Bless.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We have standing appointments for every month. We schedule about a 6 months in advance.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

@@SheratonParkFarms Ah - makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

[@tomaswilson2792]

Question, with selling those two cows as shares wouldn't you have to have the one cow that only half is sold processed USDA in order to sell the other half retail? Seems like an additional processing when they could get them processed custom exempt.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We have a good relationship with our processor and their do a great job. I really don’t trust anyone else To do the work.

[@kkeenan536]

I guess the moral of the story is herd animals just wanna be with the herd! 😆

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Yep. Lesson learned. Thanks for watching.

[@markellis6727]

What do you expect their finishing out weight to be, and what percentage do you lose at the processor?

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Expecting finishing weights to be 1000-1100lbs. Typical loss is about 40% from standing to hanging weight.

[@Andrew-sanders]

You never just turn cattle out best to leave penned tell the next morning and some do up to 3 days. Have seen people do like you did and catch the last one many miles later. At the very least they will walk the fence line of any pasture you dump them in. Yes the herd mentality kicked in and they wanted to be with the other cows. That's a normal prey herd animal thing. Being a working cowboy takes a little more knowledge than any town job. A lawyer don't have the class schooling that I have

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Great point. I’m thinking about just building a pet solid pen to put new cattle in. Especially since we’re are buying kinda frequently. Thanks for the advice.

[@scottneedham9765]

[@toddcaskey9984]

I'm wondering how much $ do u except / want / hope to get for these after u finish them out ? I don't have a clue? I don't care about what u make per say . I want you guys to make a fortune and be successful and I'm happy for you guys. I think your doing great , well Sandra is , and you just try your best to keep up with your better half lol So basically a $ 1800 heifer how much should u except to make after you sell it off . I imagine it's less for 1/2 or whole compared to sold individually cuts . I'm just wondering . , great job , they did look good I thought and they were not too flighty. Congrats u 2 . Todd

[@SheratonParkFarms]

It really depends on whether we sell it as bulk or retail. Once we take out processing costs it’s not a lot so we are trying to make it up in volume.

[@Gwalker0220]

I've got an amazing idea! I know where there is amazing beef cattle in your area and great people. They also have a utube channel.. This farm wife- Meredith Bernard... Be great both ways.... Maybe see you both on each other's channel! Plus there cows are really amazing !!

[@kathyline11]

Hi SPF, so after purchasing the cattle and finishing them out and then processing them and selling the finished product, what is your profit margin?

[@SheratonParkFarms]

It depends on whether we sell add bulk or retail.

[@Jeffnixononline]

Why arn't you breeding them?

[@SheratonParkFarms]

We sold our bull and we prefer to finish cows and sell them direct retail.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@SheratonParkFarms]

Thanks for watching.

[@terrijuanette486]

Why are you calling steers, cows? It's confusing.

[@SheratonParkFarms]

It’s easy to use “cows” as an overall term for the herd. There is only 1 steer in this whole group of 24. Everything else is either a heifer or a cow. Sorry for any confusion.

[@user-gi6ok7jm8s]

Just sent you an email. Love the channel
