This takes me back as a boy. I always helped my grandparents load cattle taking them to the sale barn. I love going to the cattle sale. Cafe there had the best hamburgers 😆 🤣
You're an amazing young man and doing all the work yourself is something in which you can take great pride. Love your videos and how you know how to do absolutely everything. Great interaction with the animals and especially those 2 beautiful pups. Nice to see your family too.
I never imagined just how much work it actually takes to get the job done! So many different things that need done every day is breathtaking! Good job!
Great video! We run a direct to consumer farm in Virginia (beef, pork, chicken, eggs) and share what we do on RUclips. Filming seems to make tasks twice as long, but you made it look really easy and just wanted to say awesome job and you made it look effortless!!
Tyler thank you for your cattle operation videos. I live vicariously through your videos. I had to sell my 100 head of cows 22 years ago after contracting Alpha Gal from a tick bite. It cause red meat severe allergies. Once again, thank you.
The one rancher that I know of that had switched FROM shipping his stock to the auction house, TO direct to consumers, is Mike of "My Wyoming Life" on RUclips. After he personally drives his selected livestock to the slaughter house/butcher in the next state, he comes back to pickup the dressed meat and then has to have freezer capacity to store his product. He seems to plenty of freezer space. He has a farm store on site. But the bulk of his revenue comes from online sales to consumers. The meat is packed in dry ice and shipped to the consumers. His decision to go from a one paycheck annual auction sale, where he is at the mercy of the market at the time of sale, to direct sales of the finished product seems to be working for him.
I did not realize there was so many steps. Thanks for the explanation. Direct marketing is becoming more popular. Glad to see the rain and the green grass. The corral is looking great - can remember in years past of it looking like gumbo. Good job.
Sonne Farms (Cole) grew and sold six cull cows via his RUclips store. There were two options: ground beef and an assortment. I’m sure he’d be happy to share their experience.
As a city kid, I really appreciated the summary of what happens at what weight. I kind of assumed the calves sold still had some growing to do because the steers FTR keeps continue growing as well.
It's amazing how perceptive cattle can be. Tyler pretty much points at them and they understand what he wants them to do (most of the time). He maintains a fine balance between gentleness and respect. Working with large animals, especially by yourself, requires this relationship to be both safe and effective. I've seen abused horses just bide their time and return cruelty with their own brand of "justice", when the person they're angry with isn't paying attention. 😮
What utter nonsense !!! Animals are animals FULLSTOP. Stop inserting human straights into them, they have none !!! I was born and raised and chose to work on animal raiding farms . They are nothing like humans. They are instinct born & driven, requiring a master interface shape of a human to control and manage them. Repetition will help them follow a humans control but that's it.
Good Morning, Tyler, Callie and Belly! Cow Sale Day! Lot’s of Moos! 10 Steers and 3 Heftier’s are keepers! The Rest are off to sale! Rain, Rain go away; come some other day! First Load of 10 off the Sale! Second Load of 11 off to the Sale! Great Informational Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was a good looking batch going to the sale barn... You seleced a nice group of steers and heifers to keep as well.... especially the white faced heifer
I would think you would have plenty of local customers in the grass-fed market since you are in northern CA. Many there would pay a premium for strictly grass-fed (all beef is grass fed they are ruminants) there I imagine although I am not sure if CA with the tendency towards heavy regulation would make it easy.
I think Tyler is happiest working his cows raining or not. The muck is a pain though but at least it isn't clay that makes each boot weigh about 12 lbs.
Love love love your channel! It makes me feel better about how cows are produced for us. My biggest concern would be of course the humanity of slaughter. Now I'm never happy about calves being slaughtered for veal I would never eat veal for that reason but... Anyways I want to thank you for all the information you put out there for raising beef cattle.
Just started watching your videos and in a previous video you wanted to know a way to spot the steers easier, we put white tags on all the steers and switch colors every year on the heifers
Here's hoping you can make the direct-to-consumer work! Im east coast and we have to jump through enough hoops just to get a meat handlers license to sell in state. Going USDA to sell across state lines, here, almost isn't worth the "fight". The regulations are insane. Someone mentioned Mike's place in WY. I think WY maybe be the only state (correct me if im wrong) pushing hard on the farm bill to be able to do the direct to consumer sales. We can only hope. Bug protein just isn't appealing. Annnd... I'll stop right there.
This direct sales is available in Georgia,support 2 local farmers,I went to high school with one farmer .Meat is so tasty,and tender,buy for me ,my kids,and grandkids.
Direct marketing seems to be the way to go , I have a friend that just does having his beef slaughtered in Westcliff Colorado , John does well to customers, he delivers to certain places for customer pick up , stay safe , good luck .
Much easier trip to Galt this year than last year weather/ flooding wise. We ( actually my older brother would take care of the purchasing ) would go and buy calves at Galt or Escalon in January and run them on our dryland, then we would get into our alfalfa season and anything that was rain damaged or had too many weeds for dairy quality would head over to finish out the cattle. There was also lower grade beardless wheat or Sudan that wouldn’t ship to Asia that would head over to finish off the cattle. When investors started buying up farmland here about a decade ago for more that what development land would sell for in other states that cut into that business model.
Always good when USPS comes Saturday! Good to get that paycheck! Sorting, never easy but you've got it down to an Art! Looking at your background videos, makes me smile to see all the upgrade to the corrals and gates. Yes I too would like to remove Galt from the equation!! I agree...hate the drive too, especially 5 to 99!!
Many choices, auction day is instant payday, but maybe not the best return on investment. Direct to consumer has its own drawbacks depending on your circumstances, markets. Maybe a little of both until you build up a market. Either way, you are raising and producing some of the best conditioned animals I have seen on the small market farm scale.
Hope the market was a good one for you. These current rains should keep those stocker buyers in a buying mood!! Your cow culling for temperament is paying off…hardly any high headed steers and heifers in this group. Thanks for another great video.
I sell a few grass fed beef every year. Seems like you are in an ideal position to slowly build a direct to market customer base through people you know or youtube, you could do just one or two the first year. 100% grass-fed grass-finished beef gets better pricing anyway Custom seems a lot easier than retail cuts. The hardest part is getting dates booked at the abattoir and custom butcher, once you have that figured out on a recurring basis you could expand it. In NJ the butchers close to beef for deer season for late Nov & all of Dec.
Hearing that hurts me. It's a balmy -17F in southern Alberta (8:32 AM) that feels like -42. It is supposed to get a couple of degrees warmer today. That said your summers with frying pan temperatures would probably kill me of or at least make me wish I was dead. LOL
@@AutoCrete, We would freeze to death here in Texas at -17F. Texas summers are brutal, but you learn to work around it. Do most of your work early in the morning or late in the evening.
You have grass? Congratulations. My ranch is about 1.5 hours south of San Antonio and we are in a drought. The grass is dead and the stock tanks are drying up. We need a good rain for sure.
@@phil-1115 No joke, I have had spit freeze before it hit the ground. Trust me when I tell you when you are chopping a water hole through 8" of over night ice, using an axe, with a 15mph wind in temps below -40, it's pretty darn cold. It takes a good 1/2 hour in a warm house to get the chill out of your bones. I moved! 360 miles south In Medicine Hat, Alberta the temp goes into the high 90's with the humidity about the same for the two middle weeks of August. That almost killed me, I get heat stroke in that stuff. I guess it's what you get used to. You can always put on more clothes but the neighbors complain when I mow the lawn in the nude. LOL
Oh, what a fun time. I really hate to see the little calf go. It brought tears to my eyes. I know you had to do it but it's still not easy. Here's wishing you a fantastic payday.
The steer you have in their own grazing property, these boys are strictly raised for beef? Wasn't quite sure of what you said. And I know you have Rivet and the other 2 as Breeders, correct?
Where is Belly today,you should be training her to separate the calves maybe by the tag number or color maybe tag color that is, she have to stay back and play with the kids today?Great video and good luck at the market!🐕🐄🐖
I hope to get meat from you in the future. Maybe a year. I find my body is okay with grass fed beef, but can have issues with store bought regular meat.
If you could have a market at or near your home to sell your meat it would pay a lot Better, than running to an auction, But you need a butcher also close by!
Sell local and buy local. I'm sure you'll find the market of people locally that will likely buy grassfed only cattle for a reasonable fair and affordable local price vs corn finish feed lot cattles. they do taste different.
Hi! I’m glad you were able to get the calves hauled. I’m not a huge fan of auctions because they’re so fickle: a bit of rain, a stupid rumor about some impending crisis, a wompy futures report and prices can drop, pffftt! But there isn’t much else for choice, so raisers have to suck it up and deal with. I wonder if you can reach out to one of those who pasture the beeves until feedlot size and sell direct to them? Have their trailers come fetch the calves from your place and sell the whole lot to one or 2 of those buyers? It’d save you driving + the commission by the auction house. You’ll need to research to see if it’s workable (I know there’s factors I’m not mentioning/aware of), but it’s another possible option. Winter finally hit me and it’s trying to ‘play catch up’!! I’ve gotten 6”, 2” and 2” over the last 3 days and tonight another big storm is due with 8” to possible local 12” more snow by Saturday! Wow-zer!! It’s the heavy, packy, slippery kind, too 😳😵💫! I drove to the mailbox (balance issues; I’m 70 and fat😬🤭) and needed 3 tries to get back up a slight incline to the garage! My hubby’s nephew had plowed yesterday, but the new snow was super slick; I sent an SOS and it was plowed and *sanded* in short order 👍👏😁! I’m grateful 😉! Selling the calves will reduce your hay consumption, too; I’m sure that’s a relief. I hope you get good prices for your calves; it takes a little of the ‘ouch’ over the expensive store prices if the producer gets their slice of the pie 😉! I always buy what’s on sale, not simply the cut I’d prefer to cut costs. If it’s a good sale, I stock up 👍! But I plan to buy straight from my neighbor come early fall; a half that will last me about 2 years. So, now I wait for your next video to see what you’re up to 😁! You do an excellent job on the camera work! And you’re great about explaining, too; very helpful and interesting! As a farmer’s widow, I know some about farming; but methods and techniques vary from region to region. And the urban dwellers have no way of knowing if no one explains things; all farming is complicated! So a big, huge thank you for your extraordinary videos!!❤❤❤
So all those calves were 100% grass fed from day 1. Does that make a difference when taking to the auction house? Do you get a premium for them being started on grass? I know there are some that are grass fed, grain finished. Just wondering if they track from weaning as well. Thanks for the video.
Seems like every time you sell it’s raining or a rainy day. Don’t know if it effects the price. Most of yours are black and they like them at the sale.
I love watching your videos, you make things look so easy but I know it's hard work. Keep up the good work. Thanks for inviting us to your daily life.
This takes me back as a boy. I always helped my grandparents load cattle taking them to the sale barn.
I love going to the cattle sale. Cafe there had the best hamburgers 😆 🤣
Thx again
Yes, slow IS fast when you are working cows.
I am really enjoying your channel.
You're an amazing young man and doing all the work yourself is something in which you can take great pride. Love your videos and how you know how to do absolutely everything. Great interaction with the animals and especially those 2 beautiful pups. Nice to see your family too.
I think your just wonderful and doing everything on your own is just WOW😊😊😊😊😊xx

I never imagined just how much work it actually takes to get the job done! So many different things that need done every day is breathtaking! Good job!
Learned a lot watching your videos. Including how much work you put in every day. Pretty impressive Tyler. Thank you.
There's nothing like the adventures of a farmer and his two ranch hands helping him - their names are - left and right. Tks for sharing Tyler!!
Markets great right now. Good time to sell nice calves like those! 🤠👍🏻
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO TYLER 😊
Thanks for the educational parts of your videos. It's great to keep others informed of the realities of your profession and to "bust some myths".
All the cattle are looking good u did a good job loading them by yourself that’s a lot of work have. A good day .
Great video! We run a direct to consumer farm in Virginia (beef, pork, chicken, eggs) and share what we do on RUclips. Filming seems to make tasks twice as long, but you made it look really easy and just wanted to say awesome job and you made it look effortless!!

Have a great day.
Clean up day with a small payment at the end. Still good to see.
Tyler thank you for your cattle operation videos. I live vicariously through your videos. I had to sell my 100 head of cows 22 years ago after contracting Alpha Gal from a tick bite. It cause red meat severe allergies. Once again, thank you.
That's sad I can't imagine not eating red meat.
Good job, Tyler, with the ranch, and I like your animals 🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐷🐷🐷🐷🐔🐔🐔🐔🐕🐕

Also at that time Erin's mom still had a share of the ranch. Till she sold then he went full on to direct to consumer.
VW Family Farm does this as well.
Good day tyler, I must say for a one man operation , your doing a great job and congratulations on having the patience.😂 jeff
I've been following both. They operate in two different realities, but I love their passion and respect for their cattle.
One of the best ranchers in the 🌎 he always delivers amazing content 🤞💪💯✨
I did not realize there was so many steps. Thanks for the explanation. Direct marketing is becoming more popular. Glad to see the rain and the green grass. The corral is looking great - can remember in years past of it looking like gumbo. Good job.
Hope you got top dollar for your calf crop. Another important task completed for the season.
Sonne Farms (Cole) grew and sold six cull cows via his RUclips store. There were two options: ground beef and an assortment. I’m sure he’d be happy to share their experience.
When I used to use the auction, bad weather affected prices, probably the attendee numbers.
our wyoming life transitioned from selling to feedlot to selling butchered products from the farm so it might be worth looking at his stuff too
Some people just don’t get it about where their beef comes from. 🙄
As a city kid, I really appreciated the summary of what happens at what weight. I kind of assumed the calves sold still had some growing to do because the steers FTR keeps continue growing as well.

Hope you received a very good price for your calfs.
Glad to here that that calves have another year or so...enjoying their grass.

Great job! Always enjoy watching the sorting process.
We get our beef and pork from a local farmer. The difference from store bought is phenomenal. Our beef is grass fed but grain finished.
Good job FT, you make it look easy, but still hard work. Cattle definitely have minds of their own! ❤❤❤
We drove by quite a few fed lots through Montana, etc.
That was a good looking batch going to the sale barn... You seleced a nice group of steers and heifers to keep as well.... especially the white faced heifer

Ok. live and learn.

I always crave beef after your videos. There have been an occasional chicken, pig turkey craving, but mainly beef.
your new gates worked great and also the shute.
Hi Tyler you know you are the Man, doing things right 1-11-2024❤

At a sale for non experienced buyers what should you look for in buying a few cows or feeders
Sometimes some buyers buy the heifers for there replacement heifers sometimes i go buy some heifers at the sale barn to buy heifers and cows to
They really don't like that red paddle😂
I hope to get meat from you in the future. Maybe a year. I find my body is okay with grass fed beef, but can have issues with store bought regular meat.
Was wondering why you didn't use the galager scale to actually pick the bigger and better picks
My question is why are you holding back stairs? You can’t use them to breed since they’ve been castrated. I don’t quite grasp that.
Funny, my first thought was how apropos the weather was for this part of their journey.
I hope if you go Direct Marketing, that it works out Great for you. You deserve it.
Please explain how you plan to participate in the direct to consumer market
That was a long day
I seen Callie in action but where's Belly?

I hope that was a wrapped sandwich for your lunch.
