Welcome to Peterson Family Farm. On this RU-vid channel, we plan to show viewers what happens on a real life family farm in Kansas. From working with animals, to planting seeds, to harvesting grain, to putting up hay, to fixing equipment, you'll get to see what farming is like! Our farm is a 5th generation farm started in 1882 by our great great grandparents. We grow wheat, corn, soybeans, milo, sunflowers, and forages and we feed about 1,000 head of cattle. To learn more about it, watch our channel intro video here: • Welcome to Our New You...

I find your videos fascinating and quite enjoyable. If I was say 30 years younger I would love to do what you all do. I know that farming/raising cattle won't make you "rich" in the money aspect, but to me you guys are "rich" in that you are doing a lifestyle and work that you all seem to enjoy. My wife and I are settling down for retirement on our 35 acre "hobby farm" and enjoy every bit of the hard "work" (I call it my therapy) that we do. God bless and keep the great videos coming.

Nice operation you guys have. I miss working at the feedyard. I live in Western Iowa. I worked for my neighbor in the 90s. It was Hanson Cattle Company. He had a 10,000 head feedyard in the Loess Hills east of Onawa. 6 pens total. We finished the cattle. He would buy them around 700-850 pounds. The feed ration was cracked corn, corn silage and hay plus their vitamins and minerals. The only part about feeding cattle in the winter i didn't like was chopping ice out of the water tanks.

@robertreznik9330 4 месяца назад

Very informative! The cattle feeding is very different here in West Texas on the North Plains. Mostly 50,000 to 100,000 head custom feeders.

@aqter7911 3 года назад

It’s humbling to see how much work, effort and care that you do 7 Days / 24Hrs week! Just like people animals eat everyday. Thanks for showing us the depth of involvement. This is truly educational. Appreciate so much the Farmers because “this does not happen in the Supermarket storeroom. Appreciate what y’all do, makes one think about what goes into these when you go to the grocery store. Plus Farmers eat to, they eat what they grow. If you do any upgrades/ improvements, etc what would they be? All takes “Resources” that is for sure! Thanks for Sharing your Family operation.

Great video! Having raised cattle my entire life, it’s great to meet some farmer/feeders! Keep up the great work!

First year vet student here, from Alaska. Thanks for these great videos! Do you ever have rodent problems with your grain storage... here, we get a ton of meadow voles when it gets cold starting in september. Also, it's making me cold watching you guys out in cotton! Lol! wool for the win! Looking forward to the rest of your videos. Wishing you the very best of years!

Folks these men but a lot of time into this operation and it’s every day of the year and the equipment is constantly breaking down,,,my hats off to them,,,been their ,winter can be harsh,,,and flies are everywhere…one point a big company sent us a new mixer to test out we feed 1200 head ..filled it up to mix every gear Box , chains, bombed the front of the mixer box and All was twisted up they were mad as , need say no more ,,would love to hear some great stories on when things went wrong…

@anitaallen4143 2 года назад

Very interesting, thanks. I was raised on a farm but didn’t know any of this stuff, because we were a dairy farm.

@realworldwildlifeproducts5512 3 года назад

I really enjoyed this video - there is so much science behind what you guys do. It is not as easy as having cows that have calves that you sell. To be successful it is amazing what all has to be done in picking the stage of the process you want to specialize in and be efficient and profitable at it. People don't understand that this all does not even consider the crops that you are raising to sustain these feed rations. Well done guys - enjoy both channels but I like this one the most! ~ Terry

@destolfe 3 года назад

Fantastic footage and explanations of your routines! (Especially with the generational differences!)

@-m-k-r- 3 года назад

Greg - I’d love to see an updated video of how you guys and your dad make it work financially. Obviously not asking you to share how much anyone makes or anything like that but I’m curious as to how things get divided, from bills to profit. And also, what other other revenue sources you guys have besides RU-vid and the cattle, do the wives work, etc.

@philipcarr92 3 года назад

Great points Matt. Greg - you've obviously done the math that says your in profit at 875 lbs. What would you get if you kept them through to slaughter weight? Obviously you would need bigger lots & different concentrate (feed); bigger equipment. You have realised that 875 is your optimum weight to realise your best profit margin!

@peterisaloftpc4093 3 года назад

@lonnybruce9407 3 года назад

I live north of McPherson and enjoy seeing your operation. I am subscribed and have been keeping track of your family life as well as your work. You must be close to Coronado Heights so with Google Earth it might be possible to find an overhead of your location. After this arctic weather it would be fun to take a trip and accompany you during your feed run.

@JohnDoe-jq5wy 3 года назад

Great stuff.... Glad y'all are not feeding ration with high hormones. Thank you. Proud of y'all

Yes, distiller grain is like candy to cattle! I’ve watched them worked through the ration just to get to it, and then they’ll eat the rest!

Do the cattle ever get their heads hit by the feeder. Or are they trained to get it out of the way. And I love the drone shots they are awesome.

@jackmargason2594 3 года назад

City dweller here. I notice you have straw in your feed ration. I thought straw was for bedding?

@willglover2171 3 года назад

I really enjoyed your video. I farm in the uk and we have a different system for growing and finishing cattle. We get the calves feeding much earlier so the transition from grass to concentrate happens earlier while they are still on grass. Do you get your silage analysed or do you just take an average?

@petersonfamilyfarm1778 3 года назад

We get it analyzed.

@mulomisamuel9349 2 года назад

@jrod4488 3 года назад

Another great video guys! Do you have a preference on what breed of cattle you buy? I always hear black type cattle tend to bring a premium. Do you see any of that in your operation?

@petersonfamilyfarm1778 3 года назад

Yes, we like black angus cattle and they fetch a premium, but it's more about the price you buy them for in backgrounding, so we just try to get good deals if you will.

@kennethcarlton2860 3 года назад

Gentlemen , If you made silage from milo , stalks and the head would that also work . Just wondering . I've always been around where we only used corn silage

@petersonfamilyfarm1778 3 года назад

Yes, that is called forage sorghum and we put up a pile of that in the south bunker for when the corn runs out

@kennethcarlton2860 3 года назад

Ok Thanks I missed the notification . The farmers around my area , east of Emporia Ks. used to grow milo . I've hauled several bushels to the elevators to sell & 2 winters I was hauling 2500 bushels a week for cattle feed to a large farming operation . I also was hauling 2500 bushels of ground corn a week to the same operation . I really enjoy watching your operation , aren't you around Salina Ks. ?? Sorry for my long story & comment .

@judyengland2615 3 года назад

I did NOT realize the size of your operation. Do you raise all the corn and different types of hay

@petersonfamilyfarm1778 3 года назад

Yes we raise all the silage and hay and purchase the distillers and mineral pellets. We get the grain screenings for free essentially

@tannenbaumgirl3100 3 года назад

How are all the immunations, those never no antibiotic claims followed and documented as the calves migrate from one owner to the other? When you say high risk calves what does that mean? Why are they high risk?

@petersonfamilyfarm1778 3 года назад

Our animals receive antibiotics if they get sick. It is inhumane not to do so. There is a strict withdrawal period before slaughter where an animal cannot be given antibiotics. So all meat is antibiotic free. When we buy or sell cattle we usually tell or know if the cattle are vaccinated. High risk is what it is. These cattle have a higher chance of getting sick compared to ones that stay in one place their whole lives. Most farms are not equipped to take cattle from start to finish nor is it efficient to do it that way.
