I so appreciate your channel. U never bring politics into ur journey as farmers! I’ve unsubscribed several Channels because of that issue. So thanks from a fellow farmer
Keep a hold of that "vintage" setup. I don't think I've ever seen a Chevy of that bodystyle not all rotted out here in WI. Cool combination for sure, you guys keep your farm and machinery in immaculate condition.
That's a nice cattle hauling setup you have there. Those 90's- early 2000's Chevy's were good trucks. You guys keep all your equipment in excellent condition.
nice seeing that nice truck , look after still going strong , also to hear what Mason does that we don't see and I expect Owen does the same , Cattle prices are high here in the UK too , I don't see it dropping as cattle are not plentiful , that is part of what is keeping the price up and wheat and Barley prices have not dropped so I think it will remain strong in the near future
Excellent! !I used to buying Holstein calves for $10 /per calf and I would by about 25 of them. One year when I sold them and I took that money and bought a brand new car (1980) for $8,000.. The good ole days!!
A nice road trip with cattle prices high..it’s definitely a good time to ship what needs to go…. I remember when I was buying bull bottle babies…I complained about paying $75.00 and now they are running about $500.00…. Wow how time has changed!!!!.

Good video Aaron. Showing our non-farmer friends another thing that arises in the day to day operation of your farm and a decision has to be made, even though it is not a pleasant one. It's always hard when it comes time to sell a good producer. I have beef cows, so I don't get quite as attached to them as dairy people do because you see them and handle them and are in contact with them everyday. But it's still hard to sell cows that have produced good calves for me over the years. But, when it's time, it's time. Sell them while they are still in good condition and still have some weight and condition to them. Especially with the prices cull cows are bringing right now. We all know this price cycle is going to come to an end, and we will all be happier than all get out if we can just break even again through those years. But, that's the way that cattle market is. You gotta bank some cash when the market is good like it is now, so you can have a cusion when the next big downturn comes. But I think we have at least one more good year to look forward to.
Wow that 99 Chevy is in great shape. Here in Upstate NY they use so much road salt that nothing that old looks that good. I have a 1984 GMC squarebody 3/4 ton, 2 wd, that I don't drive in winter. But that's the only way it's last that long. Bought that in 1988, few things last that long anymore.
It's always tough shipping a cow that has been a good producer, even tougher if it's one you showed and worked with. But it is a business, and too few people realize that these days.
I don’t expect the cattle prices to go down any day soon. The numbers of cattle ranchers and farmers with cow calf herds is continuing to drop. Too many years of low prices for stock, and too many dry years also. Many of the folks doing beef are older and retiring, and when their farms sell. The farms usually become just part of another larger farm, usually a cash crop farm. Because there isn’t enough profit for a young farmer to make these cattle operations profitable.
We have an attachment for our Bobcat that is basically a receiver for a hitch. It's pretty handy for putting trailers and empty wagons and other implements away. Full hay wagons are a little bit to much weight for the Bobcat however. Do whatever you can do to preserve that truck including coating the under side with oil or having it undercoating to stop any rust. These new trucks are going to be more and more expensive to buy and keep on the road. The new diesels are terrible. There is a possibility that Stellantis will bring back the V8 because the CEO was the only person there who seemed to want to be rid of it and he has left the building. Nonetheless, the electronics of this new garbage is a nightmare.
That truck brings back memories. I had a similar 1995 model 3500 Silverado in red. Except it was a 5 speed with the 6.5 L diesel. Got great fuel mileage but wouldn’t pull the hat off your head. 😂
Making it you guys were exiting the dariy business in the thumb nail😅. But anyway I used to work at Equity livestock Stratford market. Seen a lot of culled cows & bull calves go through back in the 2000s. They aren't what they used to be in this area ethier now that there's premier livestock in withee wI & a small stockyard near Loyal WI.
Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana, I think that that cattle market will drop down under market price that is my opinion though I probably be wrong
Mason should have been able to back that trailer right in the shed. Great video and I have a few coworkers that have some cattle and they also wonder what is going to happen with the cattle market?
So that i understand you? You sold that cow because she looks good and will bring top dollar and at the same time you know she is ill and before she lost weight sell her to another farm that so they will loose out.
The one stated, "She's not eating the way she is supposed to, still looks healthy but she is not pregnant." The other said, "need to make room, the meat price is high " they are taking the cow to be sold at a stockyard. If a cow doesn't get pregnant she will not produce milk. They have said that they have switch cows which means they have more cows than fit in their dairy barn so as they said, they are just selling her to make a place in the barn for the other cows that are still producing milk on their family dairy farm.

Kudos to you guys who can back up those big vehicles into limited space. There is sort of a melancholy quality about this video.
Hope you all have a happy and peaceful new year ❤️ all the best from Preston
Lancashire UK 🎉
Oh to be young again and be able to crank up a trailer at the speed of sound!! Great job Mason.
Keep a hold of that "vintage" setup. I don't think I've ever seen a Chevy of that bodystyle not all rotted out here in WI. Cool combination for sure, you guys keep your farm and machinery in immaculate condition.
I appreciate all the aspects of the business of farming. Good content choice. And thank you

Good video as always 👍 love the old Chevy..
Your family does a great job! Keep up the good work!
Kinda sad sometimes to sell a cow but it's how it is on the dairy farm.... Out with the old, in with the new. Life goes on.
nice seeing that nice truck , look after still going strong , also to hear what Mason does that we don't see and I expect Owen does the same , Cattle prices are high here in the UK too , I don't see it dropping as cattle are not plentiful , that is part of what is keeping the price up and wheat and Barley prices have not dropped so I think it will remain strong in the near future
Great video fellas , very good rig . Hang on to it as long as you can .

Great video. Love that old 99 model 1 ton. Thanks for the ride.
Thanks for posting
Great video as always merry Christmas and a happy new year guys.
I was waiting to see Mason back that trailer in with the pick up. Even getting it as close as he did was far better than I would have done.
That's a classic truck plenty of power. Great video

It always amazes me how every farmer tell you how hard it is, but anytime it comes to any form of trucking they really struggle.

I don’t see to many long box with an extended cab trucks nowadays. Very good shape 👍🏾
Much of Ohio and Western PA especially sout of I 70 were really dry

Cull prices are wild. Took a holstein cull in October and got $1.38 lb. And $2.35 lb for holstein steers.
Beautiful country around Lewiston. Winters aren't so bad when the sun is shining and the roads are dry.
Nice video Aaron
I have a hole in the middle of bucket I can put a trailer ball in so I can move my trailer round. Makes it a lot easier than just using the bucket.
Can't beat those Chevrolet trucks

The amount of moving equipment around they do a hitch plate for the front of the bobcat would be a life saver. We use ours daily!

I always hated this part especially losing one of my favorites 😢 but that's life unfortunately.

I’m setting here laughing to myself that only a farmer would build a shed that you can’t back a trailer straight into. 😂😂😂
When I was a kid my grandpa every one cattle take them to the sale barn with a 16 foot straight truck made pretty good money on that
Hold on to that old truck. You'll probably have less problems with that one than a new one not to mention the price of a new one.
Lanesboro has the sale
Selling a cow, calf, or any farm animal is a sad day for me.
Run it like a business and its not always a happy time.
So glad Im vegan no draining on meat dairy products
Your a sick puppy
sad day when a milk cow goes to work at Burger King. another great video.
If you ever need to upgrade your tow vehicle I'm interested in the 99
how is the beef used from a dairy cow?
Usually cows go for hamburger. Younger animals, like steers become other cuts of meat.
Always said seeing a good cow go but it has to happen
You ran over my foot. Ha Ha
Must be like driving a school bus crew cab long box 😅
what breed of hogs are they Hereford? duroc?
Where do you sell your cull cows ? Equity ?

That one cow didn't take up much space. I just can't see selling a sick cow, take care of her.
It is hard to predict what the future holds, particularly as Trump takes office. It could be a very scary future.
You must of been out of the country the last 4 years. Relax, you'll be fine it's going to be fine the next 4.
Yep…his tariffs will be a sad time for farmers..beef or hog..or lambs..
@AllanHanscom Trump is mentally ill don't expect anything good.
@@marklen2322 leave that stuff off this stuff!
@@marklen2322Just stop already . Joes on the ball ??

Do not trade that cow for magic beans again! You know what happened last time.
