Death is one thing on the farm that I don't think most ever get used too, but you just try to push by it. Sometimes crap happens that have no control over. Gimmie that grain finished beef any day of the week!

DWB Casper Can’t thank you enough for all your videos Mike they are so informative, interesting and well done. My whole life I’ve wanted to do what you have been blessed with. So at 62 I figured better get started or I’ll never get r done I’ll never have a ranch but I have 5 heifer calves that have brought me unimaginable happiness. Just wanted you to know I learn so much from your videos on how to. Keep up the good work

Another great video Mike!! I wish we had some one local that raised beef like you and Erin do. Unfortunately the market gardening and such has not taken hold here. Talking to others I've learned how it actually failed here. Which is depressing for me. I love local produced good, but they are rarely available

@OurWyomingLife 5 лет назад

It not easy here either, there is alot of education involved in local meat and produce. We suffer from a lack of local producers here as well. Thanks Bill - Mike

@sarahaugustine4185 5 лет назад

Personally I choose grass only beef. Not a knock on you because I understand your climate issues as far as grass goes. Just the choice I have made in my diet. I am sort of a caretaker on my Uncle's ranch here in Texas. He runs about 35 head of Angus and I keep an eye on them during the week when he is working in Dallas. Last week a month old calf died. I handled it the best I could but, what a sad day that was. Yet today, a new calf was born. And what a blessing that was. Ranching or farming is definitely an emotional give and take. Thank you for your videos.

@alanwchase7449 2 года назад

Really enjoyed the video.My father was a real master at feeding cattle and actually incorporated much of what you see here.He also had his own bulk feed mix that was very similar to the COB that you feed.I sure miss that good beef we used to produce.BTW because of our feeding program 45 yrs later I am looking at 4 Champion Fair Banners on my office wall.Good luck with the ranch and a very Merry Christmas to your family!

@jimanderson7648 2 года назад

i prefer grain feed beef i find its more tender then grass fed. your idea of feeding cattle is similar to mine having grown up on a farm/ ranch .first job was on a feedlot worked there for 3 years when i was in high school. only difference we use to start feeding them some grain when they were about 500 lbs. about 2.5 lbs of rolled oats or ground oats increase that until they were getting an average of 4 lbs per day of rolled or ground oats a day . until they were about 800 to 900 lbs . fed about 20 to 22 bushels per head for about 7 months , Start feeding more grain about an about 8 lbs of rolled or ground oats and barley(2nd month 2/3 oats 1/3 barley , about 12 lbs a day ( half oats half barley) 3 rd month about a 15 lbs a day ( 2/3 barley 1/3 oats ) 4 th month about 18 to 20 lbs a day of rolled or ground barley .

@ICOWBOYIM 5 лет назад

Hi Mike, I understand that USDA standard for grass fed beef is not more then 5% grain in their diet. I grain my beef at that % year round with excellent results to market them as "grass fed beef". You have a different approach to the standard. Hummmm..........I wonder, what's more economical? I feed a steer about 492#/year. My feed COOP calculated this for me. How many #/steer do you go through? 🤠

@honeycreekfarm4048 4 года назад

Question? Why do you need to finish a beef? Why not grass and grain daily without a finishing process. TY

@Ronald_Jon 5 лет назад

Also Mike, with an exponentially growing number of the population being more conscientious as to where their food is coming from and how it's produced, some might have an issue with the Grain-Finished aspect of the feeding of your cows since 95-97% of grains are potentially GMO, and those conscientious people will and should avoid GMO like the plague. I am not saying that this is your practice, but if it isn't, you may want to find a way to reassure people of the types of grains you're feeding your stock and where they come from. I personally like the marbling with the healthy fat, especially since I'm on a higher fat diet, but I would need to know that it is a healthy fat and not one produced by a GMO Grain-Fed stock. I say this because I feel you're a good man and a caring provider of your livestock.

@eddeetz493 5 лет назад

I hope you sell out at the farm day event. It would be great if you could source hemp grain after fuel processing as it's now legal. Keep out the GMO process and the omegas are better than fish. The spent grain is also excellent human food. I hope Chinas new buying pushes up prices this and future years.

@RandomHuTaoSimp Год назад

You mention walnuts but a lot of non animal product foods like nuts, seed and vegetation is believe it or not, no where near as bio available as beef and other types of meat. For this reason, you will absorb more of it, even if non animal foods are higher in specific vitamins and minerals. For example, the protein in beef is far more bio available then the protein in beans, usually with a higher variety of amino acids, a more complete variety then in non animal product foods.

Awesome video! I really think every school in America should have to teach a nutrition class about where food comes, how it's raised, the differences/meanings in those catchy buzz words like "free range", "grass fed", "cage free", etc, and why it's important to know that information. I took a "home economics/cooking" class in high school, we made pancakes EVERY SINGLE DAY.... from a box. The teacher had no clue what she was doing. Looking back I wish I would have learned about the food industry. Thank you for putting this information into the world!

I grew up on a small farm and one of the first things my father told me was to not become too attached to the livestock, especially the beef because someday they are sold for slaughter or we slaughter them for our consumption or they may get sick and die. It was good instruction, because I learned at a young age that life, either your own or that of an animal, is fragile and also learned the reality of it all. Mike, great video especially explaining the difference between "grass-fed" and "grain-finished" and the choice people can make for what they feel is important in their individual diets and preferences when it comes to beef consumption. Looking forward as always to your next video.

You say that once a steer has been given antibiotics you do not process the animal for consumption. What do with the steer then? Having studied Pharmodynamics as a nursing student, I, WITHOUT A DOUBT - KNOW that all antibiotics will be metabolized from cattle after so many days. I wonder if you miss-spoke when you made that statement. I agree with you 100% about your statements on why you grain feet your steers and appreciate your reasoning that ppl can get the nutrition from other easily available sources.

@minimalistvlogger3467 4 года назад

um...if they are finished with some grains, then they are not grass fed....?!? technically all cows conventional cattle are grass fed up until the finishing phase, so if they are fed grains during the finishing phase then you arent 100% grassfed and are adding confusion to the movement...maybe advertise your cattle as something else? maybe organic or hormone antibiotic free? but grass fed aint it, correct me if im wrong though please

Isn’t it interesting that you grain feed your cows and pigs to marble the meat. In other words fatten them up. Yet doctors and nutritionist will try to tell you that eating fat will make you fat. Hummm! Doesn’t it make more sense that eating to much grains is making people fat? I quit eating grains and lost 35 lbs. I actually increased my meat consumption. Just a thought.

@randycook1767 5 лет назад

Yes you need to finish them off with grain or corn oats barley whatever. I don't want to get too deep into this but your cattle have been bred and genetically singled out for the best meat steaks Burger etc. For the last hundred and twenty-five years give or take we have aimed to have the best product in the grocery store that consumers want. Saying or labeling grass-fed makes a lot of people or consumers today feel good about their groceries. Until we get some old world cattle or the old longhorn breed that was and always had been finished on grass because they were simply arranged cattle. From the time they got off the boat with the Spanish army and ran free after that. We need those jeans from those cattle 2 start a new breed that will taste good on grass only.
