My grandparents farms were shut down in the early 80s. They sold directly to their customers before the internet. It’s such a wonderful thing to see folks making a comeback with American small farming.

Selling direct must be the new thing in Ranching. Just spent some time in Wyoming and noticed so many ranches selling meat direct. I was searching all over for a market that sold Wyoming beef and I couldn’t find one outside of the ranches selling direct. Seems like a good business model though. I wish more ranchers/farmers would do that. As a chef and a family man it’s nice to see exactly where your food is coming from. Even nicer to support your neighbors instead of big markets. Not to mention it keeps product from leaving this country. It would be nice to see Americans eating beef raised by Americans.

I'm jumping up and down. THIS IS HOW RANCHING SHOULD BE DONE💯❤ ‼️ My first beef husbandry class in college. I knew you have to embrace the business side too. Thank you for showing a successful ways for it to be done in the future. We need more families to step up, buy the ranches before they become residents and bring back the beef industry to and for the public ❤Beautiful, just beautiful 😍

I have been starting a ranch from scratch and I can definitely say not having other family members who do it the same old way generationally has been a blessing. In the beginning of my farm journey, I was jealous of my friends that inherited a farm or grew up on a farm. I have many friends who want to transition things and it is just so complicated to convince fathers or uncles to change from the old ways.

My dream is to convert the cow/calf operation to direct marketing and sale to our local community as well as diversify to include other meats, honey, maple syrup, as well as excess produce from the garden. Premium products at prices that are more affordable for our neighbors. As said by others, nobody gets into farming to be rich. It’s the love for the land, animals, and fellow humans.

Spot on. Change is extremely difficult to do with the prior generations. It’s similar to working with having a Commanding General with a different mindset but the same ultimate goal for the farm.

When your a farmer or rancher you don’t do it to get rich. It’s in your blood. I used to farm until I was crushed in an atv wreck. I was rounding up my cattle and a sink hole opened up the night before during a storm. My atv fell through and landed up on top of me. I’m in a power wheelchair now. I miss not farming

Honey in the store has gone downhill. Less variety, higher prices and lots of foreign honey that may be adulterated. Try and get USA honey, especially the traceable stuff. I got 60+ pounds of honey in the preps. I've used honey that was 12 - 13 years old. It got darker, but still good. They say honey lasts indefinitely. Don't know about that, but never had an issue with honey other than crystallization. I use old honey in baking. Don't keep honey too cold or it crystallizes. I'm working on getting honey preps to 100+ pounds. But no garbage honey. Google it, lots of adulterated honey being sold as well as adulterated olive oil. Good olive oil should solidify in the fridge. Adulterated olive oil does not solidify fully in the fridge.

Teeth are shot. Only meat I can chew are small ground bison meatballs, small lamb meatballs and ground turkey in soft meatloaf. Ground beef is a little tough for me. Can't eat ground turkey breast, too tough. The meatballs work best if in soups or stews to soften up. The other problem with box store beef is the gov made a law that says foreign beef can be labeled USA as long as it is packed in the USA. I don't want to eat foreign beef. Bison is mainly from the USA or Canada and the lamb I get is labeled 'born, raised and harvested' in the USA. And lamb and bison are grass fed more than commercial beef that is not grass fed.

1st generation ranch buying out 3 ranches and stocking their ranch with 1200 hd of cattle from the get go! Trinity this video is so against what you are promoting and a slap in the face to real Montana ranchers who have been busting their ass their WHOLE life living off this land. Good on them for selling beef! That’s great! But don’t come at us with their 1st generation bull shit! It’s called BIG MONEY. How many hoodies did they have to sell to make enough money to buy 1200 cows their first year of ranching? And please humor us all where they process 5 semi loads of feeder steers at once in the state of Montana?
@ironwoodworkman49175 ай бұрын
Only problem with cattle raised in MT, is that their are more cattle than people and it is not the best state for cattle. I really do not care much about the location, I care how they were raised and processed. If it is a cow from the Rockies or a cow from Appalachia processed the same way and the price is the same. I will buy the cow from Appalachia every time, knowing they walk up and down hills all day and are eating grass that is taller than they are with wild clover that is a foot tall, along with all kinds other veggies that are in the fields. In the real world, Fuel should be a real thing. So we should be buying local if they are both processed the same. Life sure will be nice when Ranchers and Farmers are no longer living in tax payers pockets. This will bring back local and quality products. This will take the $$ out of the hands of the guys that do not care if they sell you rotten meat and slim. This said, The massive factory processers must be removed from the tax payers pocket at the same time or even first. They are the biggest part of the problem. I don't know about Y'all, But it sure would be nice seeing the locals making some money in the nation I live in and not people that live in other nations. Half of the hate Americans anyhow. No wonder most the food is poison now days.
