Your doing a good job regardless of all the little problems It’s part of farming and you have to deal with the horse owners and that’s a headache on it’s own. Keep up the good work 🤟🏼
My step dad was a mechanic ,when I started working on things at his place he would tell me even I was not finished at the end of the day, to spend a half hour and put all the tool where they belong and also clean them up so you would always know where they are.
Love your channel. Sorry about all your bad luck lately. When we were in your situations my father would say, " If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all." Keep your chin up .
Sounds crazy busy. But just know you are not alone. The same thing happens all over the farming world. Breakdowns (new machines are the worst) weather, long hours. Some people wonder why anyone would want to live in Canada. But understand this a 90-100 day season and then rest. You guys down south are crazy you farm all year. I love it once the ground is frozen again.
Been hay since the late 60s. When hay is in short supply someone will always be happy to purchase it. Believe me let those constant complainers go there are just so many good livestock people who buy hay we decided a long time ago deal with the good ones. Makes life so much happier.
we've been having the same type of summer putting up hay here in CO. Been pulling my hair out. Makes me feel a little better knowing it's not just me though haha
For what it's worth, it will benefit you both short and long term to educate your customers on using laboratory results to evaluate fee quality. I personally have seen beautiful green alfalfa bales that tested terrible against lesser color appealing alfalfa. The nutritional values including palatability will give your customers far better results in their livestock as applied to their rations. Personally, I think the recreational livestock industry should transition to nutrient value rations rather than appearance.
Since I grew up on a 20K acre irrigated hay ranch in Montana, I know horses and cows are color blind. As long as the protein and quality are there, who cares? Ya, I know the customer.
Beware of tempting fate, I thought this year couldn't get any worse with this drought we have been in then after making the hay, shearing and starting weaning my dad started to feel uncomfortable and loss of appetite within a month he had died of stomach cancer. But having farmed since he could walk I think it was the way he would have liked to go out with his boots on opposed to sitting in a nursing home
Sorry to hear that. But the only guarantee we have once we're born is to leave here, at any given moment. Every breath is a blessing, even though some days that can be difficult to remember. Prayers for you and the family! Faith in the Lord, He can take us through any and all!
@@danonotinthelionsden He seemed content he lost one of his closest cousins last year and said that he could have not wanted for a better or happier life and that while he was not in pain while I miss him greatly he didn't it was not drawn out like with my grandparents and he is at peace. Though if reunited with family and looking down I dare say his cousin is taking him on a tour of all the places he has visited and telling about all the different stories he has (he had a lot)
@@SlipShodBob That's a beautiful story right there. Appreciate hearing that today, was needed. Bittersweet for a moment, but so is cherry pie until ya add some sugar. Make for a great testimony to the right person one day, maybe even today! Can't be a warrior if you don't go through any battles, plural. All glory to the Lord! 🙌🐑❤️
It can always get worse - you can not wake up. If you did wake up, you're ahead - be grateful. :-) 800k out to hopefully make 20k is insanity - run with the stuff ya got, IMO - you know best. "We got this hay. Wanna buy it?" tends to work good.
Well I've been in the cattle and hay business for pretty much my whole life. I seldom ever get home before 8pm. Employees are never, ever going to do things like your family will. Long hours are part of the game we all chose to play. Things break and hours get longer . That's the reason 1.5% of the population is in agriculture, it's not for everyone. I sure wouldn't spend $800000 on hay that may or may not be better than yours. Sell what you have and be happy with that. Or big bale it , a cow or a cow man worth his salt could care less if it's green or not
@@BalesHayFarmandRanch Keep the videos coming. Love them all. Do or did you follow Anchor Brand Ranch? Their good folks in Nevada. The Tube shut them down.
A friend raised pigs, he would sort them by size, then put a per head price on the lot People would always buy the biggest pig And so would the next guy. Let them find better feed if they do not like yours.
I'm still trying to figure out what all you've lost, found, and have the potential to find or loose. LOL Sucks when things go down and parts get lost that shouldn't (lost the battery cover to something the other day. Who knows where it's at). You'll do fine on your hay. Just make sure to go bail more to go with it.
It's not just simply to go bale more hay, when you have a business as this with: Hay, farming, trucking, store and no telling what else he has going on, to order parts for a specific need and for employees to misplace and to be thrown away is the like saying to you, "give me one hundred of your own hard earned money and let someone else set it on fire and watch it go bye bye". Much less equipment being down and of no use! Just farming economics.
@@tomb.1972 not sure what your issue is. Once he reads my message he's going to understand what I'm saying. Who knows what you're saying or trying to. I probably understand his business more than some. So if you don't mind back off and find someone else to troll on.
If you quit catering to picky people and they understand that this is farming. I know that sounds like a butt, but people have to understand how things work. You store all your hay under roof and is great quality stuff. Don't sweat the small stuff. God bless the farmers.
It seems like all you do is drive around and complain. Things can always get worse be thankful you have a family and a farm and the ability to provide for others. I get it some days it seems like it’s one thing after another but that’s life.
I do agree. Lots of complaining these last few videos. The stress from debt, and equipment can get to me. I’ll try to be happier. But yes, lots of driving around. 3 employees under me. When I’m stuck in one spot, things get worse. Managers have to manage.
You should be thankful you have a successful family owned business that is thriving and a healthy family. You don’t want to become one of those RU-vidrs that is known more for complaining.
I’m sorry but in the farming community regardless of the region not a question of Rain is a question of when. Same thing with drought. Price is same thing. Look at the Wilkers. Look at farming fixing and fabricating. We are all in the same boat regardless of farming or businesses related to Farming.
Being the owner sucks, worse still if you are an employee and expected that stay late regardless of your plans for a lot less money and even less appreciation. Not saying this is the way it is in your place but sure is in a lot of other places.
@@troyb6128 ask any vettinarian or nutritionist that has a clue I work in the feed industry so you can keep telling me you don't know what your talking about all day long
@@jasonleckrone2577 really? Every horse owner and vet that feeds nothing but Alfalfa is wrong then? Gtfo been feeding alfalfa for 50 years my horses don't need supplements and they are high performance horses.
