RAISING BEEF CATTLE FOR BEGINNERS - Feeding & Working Your Cattle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2019
- In this third video in my series "Raising Beef Cattle for Beginners," I provide a brief tour of my working pens and corral and explain the design and purpose of each. I also explain why I try to feed my cattle in the working pen area and how that helps me when I need to inspect them, give them vaccinations, brand them, etc.

Your working area for the cows is very effective man i like it the design concept. Also i definitely learnt a thing or few from this video as a Jamaican 🇯🇲 Cattle farmer.
Thank you!
Beautiful thanks
Great content Mik
Good video man we getting ready to get back into cattle we out of South Carolina
The squeeze reminds them of being in the press of the herd if I remember correctly. Kinda like a heffer hug!
Awesome set up. I’m learning a lot by your videos. I also like the way PolyFace farm runs there cows.
I really like Joel's content.
cows are cool
Pretty new to your channel, great work. Any idea what that bag is made out of? Trying to make one myself!
Hey Caleb. The bag is made out of a heavy duty waterproof canvas. Just look online and you should find lots of companies that make that type of material. The inner bag is burlap (which allows the powder to sift through slowly. The very bottom of the bag is a nylon woven mesh that won’t rot (and, again, let’s the powder sift down on the cows’ backs). Hope that helps!
Would bat houses and Martin houses keep down your flies?
How many years of using Permethrin Dust before having to switch methods and Insecticide Classification? Ain't you supposed to rotate to avoid Resistance in Horn Flies? Awesome looking calves, btw.
Thanks, G Mathis! It's best to switch out the insecticide every year. If you use permethrin dust one year, you should ideally switch to a different insecticide (e.g., organophospate spray) the next year. That prevents the flies from building up resistance. Hope that helps! And thanks for the great comments!
Im considering getting a couple cows for milking. It would be by hand and the ladies would basically be pets. Any suggestions on dairy breeds? I know I could find the info but I'm curious if you have a take on this
@@TheRealRancherMike that's fine I know there is more than enough info out there just thought I'd ask.
@@skizzik121 Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Brown Swiss are some of the best dairy cattle out there.
Baby doll your heading was feeding and working cows all you talked about is what you build and where you feed not what you feed or how you take care of them just what you built
I have never understood why cattle need man to provide them with minerals. What did bison do all those centuries that men did not provide minerals?
Do you end up working cows by yourself? There are a lot of times I'm alone trying to work my livestock.
I don’t - working cows by yourself can be very dangerous. I have heard numerous stories of guys getting killed and not being found for days. It’s just not worth the risk!
@@TheRealRancherMike why is that? Whats the danger?
@@icmull The cows move as a unit, if they suddenly decide to move into your corner where you are standing, they can crush you. Or, they could buck you and knock you to the ground and trample you inadvertently. It’s just not worth the risk.
