Nice grades on those beef. The Y4 and Y5 is what you want to stay away from - fat to lean yield. As a full time cutter, I loved the Y2s. Excellent yield, and less in the waste barrel. Anything higher, you're throwing corn (and profit) away
Thanks for taking us along with the raising of the steers. Very interesting and now I don't feel to bad for paying $4.50/pound for chuck roast. Great video.
Was hoping you’d talk about the costs of the feeding relative to the feeder sales? Or we can’t judge whether it was a good idea, and neither can you? Thanks
I would try selling to individuals farm to table I keep bottle holstien calves at one year and get those prices might want to get the farm to table market it works
Great vid as always. Curious what impact to feed quality there may be because you were forced to have it left standing for so long? Looking at the price of corn, I see what you mean.
Weve been seeling fat cattle for 50 years at 1500 lbs, and have been getting 2200-2500 recently. If your getting that good for 900 lbs id keep doing just that. We sold the whole herd in may in 3 diff weight groups, all under 1000lbs. My uncle said there all going as feeders next time as well, we were feeding 10-12k bushel of corn. Its not worth it
Learn to read their the fat feel by there tails that's where the rat build up is plus there rib line your sound one was the heaviest which made less as slightly over fat which cost you ,especially when your not weighing them small short cattle can get over fat teacher watch farmer Phil videos he,s getting good at finishing beef off . Great video.we used to sell cattle off at 14/15 month s 17_18 hundred weight best profit made lean meat most profit to be made b,bigger stock cattle keep for two yr old plus depends on size of the cattle quailty not quantity makes you more money buy at right price as well .Look every day a learning day ,how you learn to grade stock your stock makes it pay watch the markets as well
Get a pork profit from Farmer Grade. They will pay a utube channel premium. Eventually sell beef and pork as a coop member, barter pork and beef. Work with a great locker and sell your beef thru them. You bring sales with.
Couldn't believe there were cows. Its been a while since i saw a video. Remember a video saying you guys wouldn't do cows again. Maybe that was just dairy.
nice angus meat sell to Mc donalds best price here are there angus burger dubbel prie ??? the normal here in the mall phuket yes me buy angus burger the taste are more than superior the standard one me dont eat no angus no burger???
For real tho... I'm sure they do get the best meat... I know everyone today seems to mostly want grass fed beef 🥩.... (healthier or something 🤷)... But what I do KNOW is... I grew up on a farm in the 80s/90s and we had our own Grain Fed Beef... And it was the BEST beef I ever tasted. Grandmother was a great cook, and I never knew she hated cooking til many years later.😂😂 But she knew her job and did it well! I know now how she felt, I hate cooking today too. And I mostly use a microwave 😂
@@shannonharris Same here , grew up on a dairy farm born in 1980. An we did our own butchering of a steer in winter a chickens a pigs . Tasted 👍🏾 great my grandmother was a great cook an my mother also.
If you have the Cavs on your farm you might as well raise them right to a fat steer On You by stairs from a sale barn you get picked over steers homegrown stairs of girl nicer fatter endless chance of disease is going through your heard

Thanks for the video Ryan. Good luck on the rest of your herd!! 🦬
Great stuff Ryan and Travis, You did a great job at finishing them👍🙏😎
Ryan, very educational. Thank you for a great video.

Interesting to hear you talk about market factors and strategies. It’s been a long time for me.
Thanks for the great video Ryan!!!
Last week, fat steers were selling for up to $2.14 at auction in Michigan. Prices are insane.
Hey Ryan!! Nice looking group of steers.
Great Video Ryan, The Cattle look fantastic, thanks for sharing
Thanks for the details on the hot weight. I never knew about that being a city slicker and all.
Great video ! Pricing information is so very interesting... thanks...
Thanks Ryan. I wish sorting our 1000 or so head, back in the day, was that easy!
Was hoping you’d talk about the costs of the feeding relative to the feeder sales? Or we can’t judge whether it was a good idea, and neither can you? Thanks
Great video Ryan very informative 👍
Who knew that a camera was so much help at sorting cattle 😅.. hats off to you doing that yourself.. stay safe 🏴
Hey Ryan! 😊 Very informative video!
I would try selling to individuals farm to table I keep bottle holstien calves at one year and get those prices might want to get the farm to table market it works
thank you
1025lb steers in Nebraska brought 2500 per head.
Hey Ryan and Travis hope you learn more about fat selling and the prices stay up. Take care, Take it Easy and most of all TRUST JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great vid as always. Curious what impact to feed quality there may be because you were forced to have it left standing for so long? Looking at the price of corn, I see what you mean.
Will you do a video of hulling in bales
If you ran charolais bulls, the steers would be eating all day. The handle the heat much better than black calves. They are growth specialists
Smokies are good calves hence charolais bulls have a habit of jumping fences
Your cattle handling facility is great😉👍 thanks for the video again👍👍
I think with the price last year you would have been a lot better selling them at 600 and selling your corn when it was high last fall.
Very impressive sorting cattle by yourself!
who knows how to profit off 20 acres and is that a good start for a beginner farmer
well now i really hope you get lots of prime grading. my local butcher imports only prime blackangus. but darn good results for the first 3.

Your fats look great!! Keep up the good work. The help your getting with what to feed your cattle is really working. Thanks😊.

I thought your dad was helping you with the cattle? Travis doesn’t look like your dad lol
They run fast at 2x.
That was the easiest cow sorting ever
I've been following SheepishlyMe for a few years now. It's really cool to get to see the differences in raising cattle as raising sheep
👍👍❤🐂
nice job on your beard
HANGING WEIGHT...

I think the farming gene skipped a generation in my family 😂
If you dont get paid for the head and organs they should box them for you to take back home...
And do what with it?
@@rtz549. Trust me they use it whether they pay for it or not.
