Sorry its been so long! Just been getting busy with so many other things I'll try to upload more often. Heres a quick video of us loading up my steers. wanted to get a weight on them so we could figure out how to price them. This video is from the 1st of April so yes there was snow on the ground it was actually pretty cold that day. They ended up averaging around 940 lbs, couldn't get all of th...

Had a nice Arctic blast this week, which means tanks are frozen over. It’s a morning routine/chore when temperatures get that low and wind speeds are that high. Go around and check the tanks. This morning wasn’t too bad. We’ve had worse and it’s easy to lose track of. You can chop the ice off but then you have to make sure the water line coming in the tank isn’t frozen. We’ve had to fight it th...

Over the past month I've been gathering up some feeders to feed through the winter. This year I doubled what i normally feed. I have about 300 head this fall. Mostly heifers but a few steer mixed in. Its been a wet fall and we just had a bunch of rain the past week. Theres a few sick ones that needed to be sorted off and treated. I got a few treated and the following day they looked much better...

Its been a while since my last upload this video is a little different. This September my cousin drew an archery cow elk tag in the black hills. I also had an archery deer tag so we figured we'd hunt together. It was our first time hunting elk and honestly had no clue where to begin. As you'll see in the video we tried bugling elk but we're obviously not very good. In the end it was an absolute...

It was HOT. The heat index was well over 100 degrees. We've had this cannon on an old water wagon thats basically useless now. We had a 1500 gallon water tank not be used so we rigged up a little way to keep cattle cool. This thing worked awesome! I hosed cattle down most of the day to keep them from getting over heated. It provided a nice jet of water and the wind help the water mist the cattl...

Its time to cut some hay. The barely and peas were ready to cut so we started with that first. We also cut the pasture for a few grass. Its been very dry so far this year and if you look on the drought monitor we are in a severe drought. There wasn't that much to cut everything was pretty thin. We ended up using a rotary rake on demo from the dealership. It worked pretty well. We used both semi...

We updated our new feed system. Honestly guys this system make feeding a lot easier. We can use the two iPads between the loader and feed truck and we know exactly how much feed each pen gets. It's a breeze to keep track of what we feed now. Theres so much more I didn't touch on. This system can do everything. As always thanks for watching!

This week I'm getting the old 4 row planter out and getting that food plot planted. Last year we had such good luck with the food plot. It helped wildlife, good cover and food to last. This year were planting Forage Soybeans they're supposed to get up to 6-7ft tall. It will provide plenty of cover and good forage for the deer and other wildlife. It honestly amazing this old planter still works....

Remember that Air Seeder we went and got last summer? Well we finally got a chance to fix on it. We got it in the shop and got to work, and boy did it need some work. Over half of all the gauge wheels needed attention. New bushings and bearings, yeah we've all been there. I know it might bother some people but I keep referring to the “arms” of the row units as “shanks” yes I know I’m an idiot. ...

It's time for them to go. Last week I took my feeder cattle to the sale barn. I had to get them up out of them pen and into the barn pen. From there its into the alleyway so they can be loaded onto trucks. We used our new loadout for cattle. We haven't been able to load out or get any cattle in since the fire.

This past week we got a bit of surprise. TEN plus inches if snow, wet, heavy snow. After cleaning up the yard we took to cleaning up the pens. In the past we use the tire manure pusher to clean of the concrete behind the bunks. On top of that we normally bed the pens with cornstalks but when things are this wet and this muddy cornstalks don't last long in the mud. So we use our stock pile of sa...
