SHOW NOTES:
We are a better together family of 6 living in an 800sqft Shed to House Conversion and currently converting a 336sqft shed into a tiny house for our new studio! Oh yea, we are doing our best to build a sustainable homestead in central Texas raising pigs, chickens, and rabbits…. and hopefully more!!!!!

No one mentions how y’all are the perfect couple and respect eachother so well.
I love raw milk especially straight from the cow. if you get bull calves from your cows keep the meat for yourself. it is at another level.
Please keep in mind it takes roughly 3yrs for a calf to get to butcher weight. And you need to start training them to respect your space and what you want them to do from the first week if not the first few days especially if they are bottle babies.
That is really great advice. Thank you!
Holy Cow!!!
That's SoOo Cool,,,I Love How Transparent You Guys Are!
Very Helpful to Ppl like me on How to get Started on Homesteading.
Bless You Both & Your Family 💯🤍💎🙏🏽🤙🏽
Oh thank you sooooo much!! Bless you as well!
I love you guys!!!!! I’m so proud of your cow flipping ventures! You are rockstars!
Oh yay!!!!!! The Hoopers!!!!! You know that y'all are our calf flippin' mentors!!! :)
Being a weekend cattle rancher in Central Texas myself, I beleive your better prices per pound comes in around 500-600lbs. if not 700lbs. depending on the breed.
Had a black Guernsey years ago and she helped me raise 21 calves in one season. I got them on feed fairly quick. Once they were eating feed well I would buy another calf. As long as she had a calf nursing her the cow stayed fresh.
You are just getting better all the time ❤
Loved that you are doing better after your other experiences! Good idea to keep at least one for meat! 😊
Yes! Thank you Lesley!!!! We fall down A LOT, but we aren't giving up on this homesteading dream at all! haha! Thank you for watching and commenting. It means so much!
I feel better watching your videos 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Because we make so many mistakes??
@@BetterTogetherLife no man.. Actually really love your videos
Thank you man!!!!
max production on a jersey after 2-3 calving can easely go above 25-30L/8-10 Galons, atleast it isnt a holstein that can go above 40L/13 Galons, and a good amount get above 50L/16 galons a day.
In South Africa that's not a bad price to fetch for a calf at all. Fully grown cows can sell for your equivalent of $600. Great video. I had a few chuckles.
Oh wow!!! That IS cheap. But I guess you also can only sell them for that much, so I guess it all evens out?
@@BetterTogetherLife with serious farmers selling breeding bulls they can go as high as $50 000 but for us little farmers in the rural areas we're quite happy with $300 for our little babies 😀 $3 per chick for chickens, $50 for a sheep. But it's mostly just buying and selling between villagers so it's for min profit from your neighbour. But it's nice to keep the money circulating within the area.
Love your channel 🌈
Next time, sell them privately thru internet … tons of options available
I would watch bringing in calves from other farms or auctions and you not placing them on quarantine. Bad things do happen sometimes that way.
You are not wrong at all. It's not something that we love to do....but the only other option is to milk change our milking procedures. Which we might have to do soon. Thank you Fran for you awesome comment!
Howdy y`all great video .. I sent you an Email a few weeks ago .. Still hoping to do a live interview about your shed to house and your little Homestead .. Last time we chatted the baby was about to be born and needed to wait awhile .. So glad to see the family
has grown and doing well .. Hope we chat soon Thanks for the videos and everything you do
Always when bringing in new animals or chickens quarantine them. then keep them in a smaller pen and handle them every single day. Especially if your big one is tame. This should only take a week. Then you can let them into a bigger pen. Or pasture. Start training them with the electric fence right away from day one.
It was an investment in your education (and ours, thanks!).
Absolutely!!!! Hope you’re doing well Jeannie!!!!
Hi.... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐄🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Is there just not enough meat to process them at 200#? If there is, could you handle that size, yourself? Seems to me that even if they are all bone, the bone broth alone might be worth just going ahead and using them for food, no? Please further educate! :D
At what age could you tan the hide? Not that you'd want to, but someone might be willing to pay for the hide if they want to do it, if it's possible at that age, maybe? Or it may be worth it to ship it off to be professionally tanned. I saw a gorgeous patchwork piece at Gallery Furniture that looked like the diamond-shaped pieces were cow hide. I took a picture and wish I could upload it here, but will send it to you for inspiration. ;D (Because you obviously need MORE to do, obviously.) When I'm thinking of self-sufficiency, my thoughts always turn to zombies (aka cov i d, etc.) when auctions or meat processors or AI may not be an option. I'd still want the ruminants, and I'd want to keep them multiplying.
Yay Jeannie!!! You are totally correct. When we processed Taco at 6 months, he yielded a decent amount of meat. And we certainly could/should have kept these two steers. We were just thinking we would have made money that seemed too good to be true…..which it wasn’t! 🤣
And you are so right, this next round we are going to try and butcher them ourselves for sure!! 😁😁😁
Where do I find these caves for so cheap up in West Virginia they’re like $700 maybe even eight or 900 for those two 😅
It’s also more per pound here if they are smaller
Oh WOW!!!!!! Well, I guess you come down here to Texas. lol!! Cattle country down here.
@@BetterTogetherLife till you figure out you have to pay for all that gas
You can sell raw milk in Texas?????I think what you learned was worth the price, even if you didn't make lots of money on the caves.
We agree 100% with you Nancy!!! Thank you so much!!
So you told us Taco got sick but never said what happened to him.
We bought a jersey in milk for 750 and bred and she only sold at auction in milk and bred for 450!!!! 😭😭😭
Very informative
Yall not posting videos on abundance+ anymore?
Did you have any feed cost or they just drank milk?
Nope! At least not for these calves. Just milk and grass. Well, I guess they ate some hay. But not that much.
Masih mimpi ketika saya hidup diantara kanan kiri depan belakang gedung semua untuk piaraan hewan kaki empat hanya unggas saja yang saya pelihara

You guy really don’t know what you are doing!
Why do you say that?
