When you make the videos of letting the calves out of those small pens are the best videos coz they are running and playing along side of you... favorites...please do more of them ...
thanks for the videos. I have just started with bottle calve for the first time and your videos have been helpful.
So nice to see a young man who enjoys farming, where I grew up, all the young men ran as fast and far away from the farm as possible, all the farmland now is spruce and the new generation think all their food comes from the supermarket. Cheers, love your videos.
Thank you! Yeah a lot of farm kids I grew up with took their careers to different places but a few are sticking around. And yeah it is pretty sad how people now days don’t know where their food comes from. Thanks for watching!
I always love when our calves are old enough to go into a pen together, the first skips and playing are just the best
Yes that is always fun to watch!
Congrats on the 6 new bottle calves. That one bull calf looks like it is really going to be big based on it's size now.
I’m hoping he continues to grow well! Thanks for watching
They are all so cute. They are so friendly too. Hope the quiet one feels better soon. I used to work on a farm. I miss the joys of raising bottle calves. New Subscriber. Love your videos.
what a nice little hers ,They are all so cute. Nice to see them drinking from a bucket,well mate take care and hugs till next time.
They are looking good
The third calf you put in there wanted to play. So cute.
Your calves are looking good. Seems you enjoy raising calves. You do very well with them. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You do a great job of presenting your information and explaining your decision making...keep it up, I am learning a lot.
so always really beautiful video friend Isaac
always enjoy the new calves and the antic that go along with each individual personality. look good the bunch,,
Thanks!
The calves look great. Take care and wish you the best.
Thanks for making the video
Excited to see some gelbvieh influenced calves!
Its nice when they drink from a bucket you'll have all you can handle.
Great channel!
Thanks!
Yayyy cant wait to see how they all grow up.
Again your calves look great!
Love ur uploads man keep’em comin
I think I'd put the original calves (3 week olds) into the larger pens. I would also put the youngest/most fragile in the back, most covered part. Just giving them a little less exposure to the elements. I'm just thinking out loud, not judging or critiquing your set up. You're doing a fine job.
Yeah I was going to put the younger one further into the barn but I also wanted to keep all of the heifers by each other as they are getting a little extra attention. I basically just placed them in the order they came out of the truck. The older three will be getting freedom here in a few weeks! Thanks for watching!
I really like your calves are like really good good luck
Your babies look wonderful, you are doing a great job! Are you working outside the farm yet? I hope all of these calves do well and the ones you sell you make lots of money with. The ones you keep grow nicely and stay healthy. Blessings
New to the channel. I like your channel it's interesting and you do a good job of keeping it interesting. Keep up the good videos. 👍✌
I really like what you’re doing, thanks to you I think I’m ready for some calf’s/ I’ve bought bred cows but never tried bottle calf’s I like the bred cows I’ve had but this looks so rewarding
Rewarding when things go right exhausting and frustrating when they scour or get pneumonia
Right again!
I have been waiting for this video Sense last week
Keep an eye on “psycho-bull”! It might be fun to see if he’d like a playground ball to push around his pen.
Hopefully, the quiet fellow will feel better soon.
I was wondering if he had a vision problem. Even looking at him in the video, his head swaying from side to side can be a sign of visual impairment. He's using his nose a lot more too. Like he's smelling & hearing, but necessarily seeing as well.
Not being knowledgeable in animal husbandry, I think your observation is very plausible.
And about that....I made a rookie mistake lol. When I pulled that calf off the truck I assumed he was a bull because the farmer said their were two in there and they were huge. Found out today “psycho-bull” is actually “gigantic-psycho-heifer”!
Gotta love big heifers!!!!!! Why don’t you be sure to name her. How about Phyllis? Harriett? Wanda? The possibilities are legion.
very nice
hope they all do well
what about the cold weather, don't they get cold
It doesn’t get too cold here and they are protected from the wind for the most part. It normally stays around 30-mid 40s here in the winter. As long as they have clean dry bedding they should be good!
The Daytona 500 keeps getting rained out
So awesome! I’ve seen all your videos! Love it! I’m 24 Startin to get into cattle with my wife. What kind of vitamins do you give to the cows(full grown and calves) and do calves need any kind of treatment when dropped? Really don’t know much bout cows but gettin into it
We give a mineral mix and salt block to all of our cows. Just go to your local feed store and see what they have available, they should be able to direct you. For bottle calves, I do not give them any vitamins or minerals. Everything they need at the moment is found in the milk and grain. After they are weaned they get access to a loose mineral mix as well. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I’ve been waiting for only a year😂😂😂
Well here you go haha I may even try to get more this fall.
Where is the kitten?! We laugh every time it pops up lol
Somehow he managed to not make it in this video. I don’t really know how as he is always under my feet but I’m sure he will make it in then next one!
Need room too walk around camt be cooped up. Make pins more bigger. For then. Too earlier for grain supplement.
We never gave ours tell 8 months
Hi. I have enjoyed your videos. I have thought about getting into bottle calves again. I do have some cows and calves but have wanted to do bottle calves again. I know scours are a big problem with the little ones. I have saved some and have lost some over the years. What do you recommend to help both to provent scours and to treatment scours? Especially when raise a good bunch of calves at ones?
why are they called square bails if they are rectangular? @farmandhammer
Good question 😂
What's the Black & White/Blue-Roan marked one on the end in the center row?
Why do you not put all of your bottle calves in the same hutch?? That is what we do we just put them together
What state are you from?
What time should I put my calf on gran
What does the straw do on the ground?
Any they are so cuuuuuute😘😘😘😘😘😘
I have a question so how long do you raise these calves before you take them to sell?
Good job!!! What kind of money are calves costing you this year?? Here in Canada they are cheap!!
This information is covered in a few previous videos
When are you going to get more calves
More every week!
Calves: moo
Me: It's your big day
Someone pls help me
What type of feed and where do get them . How much does it cost
We get crescent calf mate. It is kind of local feed mill. But they ship it to most feed stores in southwest mo. There are many brands to chose from just make sure it is at least 14% protein. These run $9 for a 50lb bag
Will you please show you cleaning these small stalls. How much $ is your milk replacer? May we see up close the holder for the milk bucket? Thank you!
Yes I will eventually show how we clean the stalls, but we won’t clean them till after the calf is weaned. The milk replacer I use runs about $69 per bag. And yes I’ll try to show the holder in a video here soon!
Thank you for taking the time to reply!! Thanks for the information. Much appreciated!!
Hello from a fellow starting beef farmer if you don’t mind me asking what’s your survival been screwed over with a couple dummy calves
I’m assuming by dummy calves you are talking about weak calf syndrome? I have had 1 dummy in about the last 75 which isn’t too terrible. When we used to raise Holsteins it was a little more common but with those it was sometimes hard to tell what they died from. If you get one or two from a farmer...I would maybe suggest trying to find another supplier. I normally see it caused by FPT so if the farmers cows are in good condition when they calve you shouldn’t have to worry about it too much. If you’ve got any other questions, feel free to send them my way. I’ll do my best to answer them.
Farm & Hammer yeah it was a dummy it was Holstein angus had one heifer run off just had bad luck so far
I have a question, what would you use if your cattle had ringworm? We got a kitten and she gave every pet in the home ringworm, she was a carrier so no visual spots on her. By the time we realized what was going on... it was too late. Buying the lime sulfur dip for dogs/cats is expensive. I was wondering if you know of some in bulk aka cow/horse size dip? We have 2 cats and 4 dogs. Been to the vet and our vet wont help us unless we do a 200 dollar test on EACH pet and then repeat every few weeks until 2 neg tests come in for each one.... that would seriously be THOUSANDS. The stuff we can buy is like a 2 time use and they have to be dipped 2x a week each for up to a few months. If i had known the kitten had it i would never have gotten her. We love her obviously (we've had her since xmas eve) but now we all have it. Us included. Been bleaching and washing everything all the time. This is nuts and im overwhelmed... any help or ideas???? please??? Ty
What kind out scour pills do you give them?
what bred of calves do you get from the dairy farm? that are all black?
Holstein cow with sire being a Gelbvieh or Angus I believe he said
Christy is correct!
I'm getting into farming and why do you have holsteins when you dont milk?
I purchase all of these beef x Holstein calves (from other farms) for beef production only. The heifers will most likely turn into “beef” cows and all of the steers will go to beef markets. I won’t ever raise a group of straight Holsteins most likely, due to how hard it can be to make money. Hope that answered your question!
Yeah thanks man I just thought they were all holsteins
You can have them even if you dnt milk.
Its what brand everyone likes
Why do you new calves seem to have a lot more pen space than the other 3 you have?
I just got a Jersey calf. I’m completely new to this. I was advice to only give it 4 pints a day 2 in the morning 2 in the afternoon. Is this correct? I fear over feeding it. Hope someone can give me advice. Thank You.
Also to mention I’m bottle feeding it.
That may be correct. It all depends on how big the calf is. Most jerseys are pretty small so I would start with 1 quart every 12 hours and gradually increase it to 2 quarts every 12. The calves I get are pretty large so most of them get 2 quarts every 12 hours. Hope that helped a little. Feel free to ask any other questions you have!
Farm & Hammer awesome! Also to add on to that Milk has to be warm correct ? Does this apply to their drinking water as well or does the temperature of the water not matter as much? You’ve lowkey inspired me hoping I can sooner or later sell calf’s off for profit. Keep up the good work.
Yes, the milk needs to be warm. Shoot for close to 105 F. Most of the time the calves won’t drink plain cold water, but they will drink it warm. I appreciate it! Good luck!
7:31 I'm wondering, if you are breeding then why do you still buy bottle calves? Seems like you can save the cost by just collecting the calves being born and putting them in the pens.
We have beef cows and all of their calves stay on the mothers. These bottle calves I am buying will eventually turn into beef cows and raise their own calf every year. Dairy farmers don’t keep these calves on the cows because they are trying to sell the milk, not beef animals. Whenever these heifers produce their own calves in 2 years I will most likely quit raising bottle calves because they will raise their own calves. Hope that answered your questions! Thanks for watching!
Do you know what causes low thiamine in a calf
Thiamine is vitamin B1 try a vitamin B shot
What breed are the six calves lot of angus cross I guess?
They are actually gelbvieh x Holstein. I’m gonna pick up a few angus x Holstein bulls in a few days!
it's really cruel how you are keeing them in tiny cages.
They only spend a short time in these pens and spend the rest of their life out on pasture. What suggestions would you have?
can you show us in a video them in another pen? As in all of your videos so far, they are in these teeny tiny pans.
I’ve made videos for the last 2 years. There are at least 20+ videos showing them on pasture with acres to roam.
