Funny how the majority of society is clueless on how agriculture works in this country. Cattle with high performing genetics often sell for far more. millions in fact. Why? An outstanding cow like this will likely be a "donor" cow meaning once breed, they will flush her embryos and place each one in a donor cow. Through this process she could have 1-20 maternal calves in a single year. Technology now exists to even sex the emboss meaning you can decide only bulls, only heifers, etc.. If successful the rate of return can be steep.
If it's not a fair / show to benefit charity or scholarship.. the buyer has more money than reasonable sense. 😆 My gosh.. burgers in Canada must be averaging $26 U.S 🤯
I'm not versed on Hereford genetics, but I'm hard pressed to see how a cow and a heifer calf that can each only produce one calf a year can be that valuable.
There is potential there for them to girl's to produce a couple 50,000 dollar of not 100,000 dollar bulls in there life time ..bulls are big business in Herefords Angus and wagu.
Plus People don't want to give there 💰 to joe Biden and the government in taxes everything this year from cattle,to quarter horse cow and race bloodlines have been bringing record prices they got people in that administration spyig on the banks know and they also know want to tax waitresses tips know .at first people weren't worried but when he broke his word on the taxation and started raising taxes on people making under 500,000 a year and even uped taxes for people barely makeing 30,000 people found investing in animal's and not having to give there money away to tax man and not having anything to show for it was way to go .plus you can put cattle and horses in LLC and also put life insurance on them and then like humans Barrow against it ..
DId you get bugs in 'em? I had to hay some with pod worms. At least we had good foliage and got $80 a round bale but still...would have been a decent crop otherwise.
They might wanna attach there tarp to the disc mower. Tedder guy better raise that spear some before he eats dirt. Really looks bad when the dealer putting on the show doesn’t assemble correctly nor really know how to run the equipment there trying to sell.
You go that right. The plan is to drop more next week. We wish it could've had one more drying day and bit more heat. A few are testing a tad over 20%. Most are testing 14-16%. So they'll probably get stacked outside and go ahead and feed them.
Thanks. DiscBine has been fine so far. The biggest issue is cleaning it up, it's got more places for junk to collect then anything around here. As far as speed that depends on the crop, anywhere from 4.5-9mph. Strangely some thin crops cut better at a faster forward speed and slightly slowing down the rpm's of the DiscBine. We think the faster rpm's on the Discbine tends to blow down crop ahead of the cutterbar if the crop is thin.
"Honey, there's a chance I'll have to work late on Saturday, you know how hay cutting season can be! There's also the chance I won't have to, probably won't know til during the day Saturday. In any event shouldn't go too far past dark, hard to say for sure though... just found out..."
Yes usually after the Rye or Oats hay has been made. Mid May is the ideal time for us planting in Zone 7. This year we're still getting frost from time to time, have frost coming up this week.
Dry bales. Not as dry as we'd like but they're baled. The next day it rained and now they're saying 3-6" over the next 2 days. It's either feast or famine these days, been that way for 3-4 years now.
SuperHerefords that’s why we have started doing mostly haylage (or baleage). That is about the only way we can get ours up correctly, especially working full time off the farm jobs.
@@csdeyton We've weighed the option of doing wrapping but just haven't brought ourselves to do it yet. For about 4 years in a row there's been issues with finding windows for proper drying time. This farm has been in the same family for over 100 years and it wasn't like this in decades past, at least not year after year like it is now. We've already had 3" more rainfall than our yearly average. No-till is going to be the next thing here I believe.
They are rolled as dry hay here. The moisture ended up being higher than we wanted but really had no choice but to cut and bale them when they did. Normally they dry down quite well after going through the rubber roller conditioners and then very lightly tedding them while they're still a bit damp to cut down on leaf loss.
We found a tag from one of the bags and the variety is UA 5715GT. This year there was no choice on the stage for mowing. There's only been a few windows the whole season for making hay. They had actually put on bean pods but had no beans in them. How this helps.
Not sure what it was 2018, we used a conventional non-glyphosate resistant bean that year. 2020 we used a variety out of Arkansas, I'll see if I can find a tag from one of the bags.
@@canecreekfarms5250 They've tried a couple varieties here Hybrid Pearl and Browntop Millet but ultimately ended up going back to Browntop. The Pearl Millet was pretty stemmy and the tonnage just wasn't there compared to Browntop. Browntop is planted here at 20-25#/acre when planting only Browntop, no soybean mix, a bit higher than recommended but it works out.
Liked everything but the music... would have rather heard the machine. Could be a little longer too, or walk through the forage and show what it looked like before cutting, and in the windrow would have been nice! Later! OL J R :)
Grew up with ear corn. Stored it in round wire cribs. Between the birds, squirrels, coon, and rats, there was never a kernel exposed on the outer side of the cobs. Rats and ear corn go hand in hand. Lucky for us my dog loved killing rats. When he saw us pull out the mixer mill, he headed straight for the cribs and waited, he knew it was game on.
My little 5065m was giving trouble lights and I finally discovered that the fuel sensor is sensitive to the presence of water. I changed the fuel filter and it fixed the problem. As I was troubleshooting, I installed an oil pressure gauge...shows 40 psi at idle and 55 psi at 1800 rpm, so the trouble was not oil pressure. That's when a friend mentioned that the csuse of most trouble lights is the fuel system. Hope your 5065m is doing fine.
Hi, No fuel related problems yet, knock on wood. Every now and then it'll give what we call the 'Red Ring of Death' show up on dash and just stop moving. They've always been able to shift back to Park and/or shut it off and restart and it's ok, only happens once or twice a year. It has over 1400 hours on it and has been a good tractor. The only real repair has been a gasket between the water pump and the block. The water pump can't just be unbolted and removed, you have to pull the crankshaft pulley and us a puller to pull it almost all the way of but not quite off and then the one bolt can be removed. From the factory it only had very thin layer of sealant instead of a $6 gasket and about $250-300 labor from a independent mechanic and it was fixed. A friend of ours has a 5115M that had a fuel sensor go bad and the dealer kept telling him it was water in the fuel but the dealer was wrong. It was under warranty and after he drained the entire system twice and put fresh fuel in the dealer finally came and picked it up and fixed. Good luck!
@@SuperHerefords thanks for the water pump info...My 5065m is looking water somewhere at the rate of a quart every 10 hours or so. May be a pump gasket? May be a hose? Will find it one of these days.
Nice video and really like your farm. If you don’t mind educate me as I have never been near a round bailer just old school small square. How do you know when the bail is finished guessing you can see inside the bailer?
Thank you! Our baler is a little old school in that it has bale shape indicators and tying marks are on the baler itself. It's an electric twin tying system. With mirrors adjusted correctly you see all these indicators without turning around. You can't see the bale for all the wide belts. There's a beeper inside that goes off when the bale has reached a certain size you set it to inside the baler door. Many balers today have all the shape indicators and such in a display panel mounted in or on the tractor. The twine isn't actually tied only wrapped around the bale and held in place by tension. We still have an old JD 24T square baler but it hasn't been used since buying the round baler. Thanks for watching. This video shows a little bit about what I'm talking about. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2kD99GzJRl0.html
