People need to understand what a farmer goes through. We love our animals. They are our family. You do a really good job of explaining what the thought process is of making decisions. Thank you.
Couldn't agree more on what you said , love this channels videos
It happens Chuck. You all tried to give her a chance to heal and she didn't. There is no reason for her to live in pain. Glad you were able to salvage the meat. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us! Hope all is well with you and Saundra!
Every good or bad experience is a learning experience. Unfortunately this was a bad experience. No offence meant by the following "You are by no means an old dog who can not learn new tricks, you are a FARMER, and whether a farmer is young or old the learning never stops" Strength to you and Sondra . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourselves, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦
The good thing is that with this cow you have plenty of beef to eat that you can't sell instead of eating beef that you could be selling. Keep up the great work!
But he can pass the meat around to Family & Friends.. who wouldn't want a big fat Chuck Roast.
when the tractor gets hot (esp. a newer tractor) make sure your radiator isn't full of grass particles, and also check your air filter!!!
You do what you had to do. That's just the way farm life goes. There are gains and losses. Your farm is beautiful. ❤
So sorry you needed to explain to the people who are confused between farm animals and pets. The farmer who treats his animals as pets goes broke. The farmer who treats his animals without compassion is perverted. As in all of life there is a balance.
You explained this very well. Thank you.
I think you did the right thing! It’s never easy with an injured animal. Loved seeing the tractors at work! Keep the great videos coming. Take care.
I think your thought process is just right. You care and worry as you need to. Thanks for sharing.
Watching that feed being transferred to the pig feeder was visually satisfying.
Farming is a tough life sometimes. But oh, how rewarding at other times.
Granny was talking how the country hams you buy now aren't fat enough. Nothing is fat enough, anymore on pork products. She loves red-eye gravy, but said the meat doesn't produce enough grease to make it, for today's products. I wonder why? Are leaner hogs commercially produced and sought? What happened to good old smoking, curing, and fatted hogs of yesteryear?
I think you did the right thing for the cow, like you said you gave the cow a change and it just did not work. That is farming, good or bad, I think you did the right thing. God bless you and have a nice safe day!!
I feel that you did nothing wrong with regards to your cow, Chuck. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong.
Good luck with your BEFCO land plane. I have a BEFCO tiller and have been satisfied with it. The only gripe I have is that they used metric lift pins on the tiller. Normal Cat 1 lift pins (that fit in a 7/8" hole and are available for cheap everywhere in the US) are a whisker too large to fit through the hole in the tiller. Long painful story short, I had to replace a lift pin and the only place I could find a metric one was from BEFCO themselves - and it cost about $28!
BEFCO is an abbreviation for the "Best Equipment Farmers Can Own." The company is headquartered right here in Rocky Mount, NC.
Take care and God Bless.
Sounds like you’ll have plenty of beef for yourself and your family. Great job.
Well said it’s part of life on the farm.
You gave her the chance to get better. A lot wouldn't have. ❤
Nice video today. Definitely shows how important a tractor is on the farm. Just a suggestion to take in consideration for video quality in the future, when setting up your camera for talking sessions and you have your camera set to auto focus, if you have a contrast in the background (i.e., mostly green forage and some bright sky) the auto focus setting will cause the video to get dark when you aren't looking directly at the camera, like when you glance down or look to the side. To prevent this from happening, look at your view finder and make sure that your background is consistently forage or change the setting to make the focus at a certain distance from the camera and make sure you're at that distance during the filming duration. I appreciate your dedication to bringing us videos and content that help farmers and homesteaders and I hope this suggestion helps you in the future to create higher quality videos. God bless and keep up the great work!
I'm glad you humanly put her down. She would have suffered a slow death. I've raised cattle all of my adult life and you are going to loose one.
You done Right!!!
When I was in CA, (for personal home use), you don’t take animals to be slaughtered. A guy comes to your farm, kills, skins, guts, etc. then takes the carcass to a processor of your choice. Frank Buck was our guy & did a wonderful, humane job. Glad you were able to save the meat
I think you did the right thing but what I think or anyone else doesn't always matter in the end you have to do what you think is right for you situation but I'm sorry she was unable to get better.
Probably the radiator needed to be blown out for the over heating issues , but if u have a bigger tractor it's best to switch her out . The cow though never entered my mind until u brought it up. And they can't tell you what is wrong with them until it's usually too late . If u have livestock you have deadstock . Great job Todd 🤪
No hate here!! Sounds like y'all won't have to fight over ribeye's for a while. I looked at the land planes. Nice! Still may end up with one.
These decisions are made on and off a Farm.
You do what you feel is best with the information you have at the time.
Sounds like you did what you had to do. I don't envy you with that younger boar. Been there. Hang on!
Shoot... You ought to get a couple ram lambs to "mow/trim" in from of the chicken tractors. Save on fuel, and have a by product to sell when you have them butchered.
What model is your new holland?
Better call ya. Brother in law. He fix u up with ya heating problems...enjoy as usual hope to see ya soon when Becky gets a day off
Lift the tines up, 90% of the time you don't need the ripper tines down
Well at least y’all got some good beef to eat at less expensive and better then retail stores
I know how hard the choice can be sometimes. However, if a animal is not improving or healing after an injury, is in pain, can’t stand & walk without pain the most humane thing to do is either process the animal or have a vet humanely euthanize.
Im sorry for this. I know it was a tough choice. There will always be the armchair quarterback that want to second guess you. Please dont let it bother you. God bless.
Had a dog kill a entire litter of piglets and got 3 of the other litter now this morning the one I have been trying to save is bad and gotta put it down I don't when know where to go from here
Looks like you are digging to deep
I lost a sow my bor killed her so I kill him
Generally the FDA has set guidelines for animals that are processed. If there is ANY form of muscular deterioration whatsoever, the animal will not be able to be sold to consumers. Not even under th exemption. However, a physical break or anomaly that causes an animal to be culled is still saleable if it is processed per the FDA rules governing farm kill or "PRE PROCESS" dispatch rules. EIther way, the point is to protect people from certain passable bacteria and disease.
what was the name of the mobile processor? Would like to know if they service my area
