You guys seem to handle whatever adversity comes your way. Well done. Nice when the cows can calve on their own. Great to see the calves coming. Enjoyed your video. Thanks!
Depends what breed, shorthorn you should get an idea but you really can get anything from Roan, solid red, white and sometimes blue Roan. Simmental you will know if it will be red or black.
🇫🇷 Hi Kendal could you give some figures / explain pro cons ai and embryo’s during a video ? .. basic costs… to better understand your tactics .. Do you improve all breeds or one in particular on your farm ? .. are results the same the end or you loose more embryos ? Congrats for all videos
I'm pretty sure the Sonnes would not like you using your perception of their farm to disparage another. Cows are extremely efficient poop makers. Also, remember the Canadian wildfires? Yeah, there's a lack of straw in Canada because of them.
we are experiencing an unusual warm stretch in Manitoba at the moment.. adds extra challenge to keep the cows and calves clean and dry. Thank you for your concern and consideration. Overall these cows and their calves are fed extremely nice quality feed , and bedded regularly with wheat straw. Look how the 2 Brothers, plus Pieter check in on these "mom's -to-be cows through the night , 24/7 through the week , plus a clean dry hoop barn. but thanks for your observation.
All farms are different, the Sonne farm is a thousand miles south of these guys, completely different climate and soil, these guys could throw out straw twice a day every day and still be wet ,but you the keyboard warrior knows better. These guys are excellent farmers, both with their crops and cattle.
Hello, you have very beautiful and strong bulls and cows! I also inseminate my young cows and heifers of the Mongolian and Simental breeds with Aberdeen Angus bulls whose fathers gave more bulls than heifers at test calvings. I inseminate large cows with Limousin and Belgian Blue bulls. On average, I get 70% bulls and 30%
In Russia, in our State, prices for live weight of fat bulls that were fed are 2 dollars per 1 kg of live weight; bull meat is bought at the slaughterhouse for 4 dollars per 1 kg of meat. Fat heifers cost 3.5 US dollars per 1 kg of meat. In our state, wheat costs 10 cents per kg, barley 9 cents per kg, corn 11 cents per kg and peas 15 cents per kg. In 2023, I bought bulls for breeding for my cows for $900 aberdin angys 1 bull 6 months old. The most expensive are Limousin bulls, they cost from $2,600 US, 1 head, 1.6 years old. Belgian Blue bulls cost from $3,000 US, but Purebred Belgian bulls are very difficult to find Therefore, it is better to do artificial insemination.
@@TwinElmFarms I think ours is really cheaper than yours. Except for European cars, branded clothes and iPhones :). I am now hiding from mobilization for war and renting an excellent three-room apartment in my state capital, I pay 140 US dollars a month. Good bread of my national cuisine weighing 800 grams costs 25 cents. Potatoes cost 15 cents per 1 kg. Chicken 2 dollars per 1 kg. Taxi 1.5 dollars.
I enjoy watching your videos

Pieter looked pretty spiffy in his new jacket, almost didn't recognize him. lol
Congrats on all the new calves ...When you AI a cow can you pick what color they will be ?

Hello

I have the explanation coming in an upcoming video..

Thanks, I have a video coming out that will answer some of those questions.
Glossy calf should be call satin.
Do you have any fans in the shop I can see the exhaust in the ceiling
Ya we have an exhaust fan. Helps with fumes and humidity.
@@TwinElmFarms I know it’s not my business about saying that
@@davidhoover4947 its all good
Do you watch Sonne Farms? Their cows are always on fresh straw, not covered in poop and they scrape the lots almost daily.
I'm pretty sure the Sonnes would not like you using your perception of their farm to disparage another.

Sonne farms does a great job. Every area has different ways of doing things. We do bed as often as possible, sometimes you can't bed enough.
Time for a pay loader?
I wish... we don't have a big enough operation to justify a pay loader. We need tractors that have pto and can pull implements. Maybe one day

If I do my math right, your prices in all aspects are half of ours, hopefully your cost of living and inputs are as well.
