    Hi Karen,
    You did a great job with the stacking of the straw. You are making the right decision to take the cattle to the mart. They will do very well. It's the place to go, even with finished cattle. I bet you that the 2 of you will be very pleased after it.

    Thank you so very much Karen for inviting us all to come sit at your kitchen table as You, Rob and your Dad make plans! Really interesting to hear all of the levels of thought that go into marketing your animals, watching their weight gains if any, deciding what might be the negatives of the feed and also celebrating the positives too! I very much appreciate your relationship with your Dad in debating and discussing what works and who is right! 😉 Reminds me of my Dad but what a wonderful sidekick he was! One thing I learned from him was you do not need Two Pilots to fly one plane!🤣 LQQKING forward to The Mart Video too! I'm STILL laughing at "Ratatouille" MOO From Across The Pond In COW-lumbus, Ohio Keep Smiling & Strutting 👋

    Ole Sheehan is doing everything he can to stay. You're going to catch him doing yoga in the back of the pen one day. LOL. I'm also very terrified when moving my hay and straw because in Alabama we have lots of s.n.a.kes. I'm even too scared to type the word properly because I don't want videos of them popping up in my feed. LOL. Good on you and Rob for being able to get the car out. We have ice coming next week, and I doubt I will go anywhere. Again, south Alabama just isn't well versed in ice and snow so folks get a little wild on the road.

    When your fattening ya need to give plenty of a high maize meal. We feed all our factory cattle buffalo beef nuts from smyths in Donegal and get great weights on it. But we ad-lib most of them in the shed. Also no silage worth a dam for any fattening mainly straw to make them eat the meal

    i agree 100 % dry silage late may first june cut we find best results for weight gain wilt it if possible speeds up drying contractors all been pushed same few days cause of weather its hard on every partie great work ur cattle are shineing well done

    • @Otherrandomguy42
      @Otherrandomguy42 2 дня назад

      Here in North America we don't like to see round bale silage above 45% moisture I always left mine cut for three days when the grass is young. I had dairy so I did mostly chopped up feed for bunkers early. How we found it was easier to make round bales later when the grass is more mature it dries way faster mid June here for balage for dry cows and young stock

    Good evening Karen
    Thank you for sharing another update with us all
    You looked done, whilst discussing the weights, please don't put additional pressure on yourself, farming is hard enough, self criticism is always the harshest
    Bless ya, you didn't scream as loud as i would have done, hate rats, I feel like Alfred Hitchcocks, The Birds, I've squashed that many, dropping manhole covers when they've poked the heads out of the drains, sure they're out to terrorise me lol
    You seem to be growing in confidence with the loader, well done you
    Had confidence in you for sure
    Our snow, 100 - 125mm, took 11 day's to clear,
    Take care young lady

  • @user-qj2ge5hz4d
    @user-qj2ge5hz4d 2 дня назад

    There's a lot less proof in this years silage.
    The wet spring probably didn't help.
    The best performance that I ever got from finishing cattle was feeding 3kgs of rolled barley and 3kgs or rolled maize meal. There were 2 cheap ingredients and they are the best for fattening.
    You will get on great with them,
    You won't be crying after the day, maybe evening having a glass of champagne. 😂
