Cattle Chaos & Counting Piglets

  • Our bellyaching cattle need to be sorted today! They are rewarded with new pasture after we are done. And I can't forget to check in with the piglets and on the progress of the new round bale wagon. Finally, I cook a delicious chicken on the grill.

    You are such a delight Pete. My late grandfather would see train tracks, and proclaim a train must have just went by, because it left it’s tracks.

    I helped my uncle put in crates for his sow's and he lost just as many piglets. We took them out a year later and he finished out his farming without them. We lost him this past year at age 95 but his farm is living on with new farmer raising soybean and corn. Have a good day!

      I used crates and didn't lose any piglets. Through 8 litters. The crates just help momma laying down by being able to lean against side and lower herself rather than fall on her side. It is no problem at all letting mom out to stretch several times a day she goes rite back in no problem. Put your crate at opening of baby pen when you take mom out she backs out in to a different pen. She will be back wanting back in crate to babies in just couple minutes.

    This video had all my favorite things! Every video with Hillarie is great because that is when the real you comes out, then we had a "Cmon cows' scene, a great scene where your Dad got to show who he was, a section about nuance, a bad joke bit, a section about cooking simply, and a snarky Q&A section. Brilliant - A+ on all points!

    We had a farrowing barn that had crates on one side and pens on the other. We let the sows out of the crates and pens twice a day to feed and water. They knew which one had their pigs, so was easy to put them back in. In summer, we had small A frame sheds that we put out in the pasture that acted as both a crate and a pen. The biggest downside was the sows weren’t handled as much, so could be more aggressive protecting their pigs. One sow attacked Dad when we were giving her pigs their iron shots. Bit his leg and laid him up for a couple of weeks. Got to respect them. Really enjoy your videos.

    • @Mtbambeno
      @Mtbambeno 2 года назад +4

      We had a 10 crate farrowing barn in the 80s and early 90s. 5 crates on each side of a hallway and a pen at the end of the building to let them out in. Most sows were very good about wanting to go back to their crates. We did the same letting them out for awhile each day to feed, water and get some exercise. The crates had waterers also.

    Raising cattle has been in my family for four generations now. I played a pretty passive role in it growing up, though I was around from time to time . I have little experience working with the wilder breeds/crosses though, so I watch how you move and dictate their movement (and keep your head on a swivel), particularly the wilder groups and individuals. I’ve been more directly involved this last year or so, and will go back and watch your videos as we get ready to work ours. It feels Kinda like watching game film before playing against an opponent, just tunes me in a bit if you will. I watch so maybe I can learn from your mistakes and how you all resolve the issues that always arise when raising and working cattle. Thanks for the videos, love them!
