You will need scales to gather weight info if you plan on registering angus. Also you could select your best cows and turn them into recips by adding ET to your breeding program.
We got little Angus heard in Ohio I found little kitten black and white like yours she was in cattle barn I caught her and she's getting really tame got her in house nice heifers let's go devils lake hiking ❤
Hey Ryan, Shute looks good. My buddy hauls a lot of cattle with his trailer he got those rubber mats that you use in the barn under the cows. He than cut them down to fit in his trailer and used a grinding wheel to scuff them up so the cows got traction on them. Little easier on them if they fall and still easy to clean out. Just a idea thanks for the video.
I remember back in the 80s, grandfather raised registered polled hereford and black Angus.... He had this HUUUUGE trophy case taller and much wider than me.... It took up a whole wall. It was full of trophies from his cattle shows.... Miss those days😢
Hannah showing off her cutting skills. Hairstyles by Hannah. You will find the Arrow-Quip will be as valuable to your heard growth and development as your choice of Tractors or trucks.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Those certainly were some chill heifer’s. The Arrow-quip certainly looks to be a great addition to the farm. Wishing you and your family the best.
Adding scales to you shoot in the future would be an invaluable tool for measuring herd health and growth. Also nice to know your sale weights before shipping.
Great video Ryan and Hannah great to see your little niece. I really enjoyed the road trip that was really pretty country. Wow those heifers were really calm. Looks like the shoot was a great investment for your operation 👍
Hi from oz Ryan. Load cells on that schute will be brilliant. You can weigh then dose them to true weight. On family farm we had dedicated weigh box before schute and could dose to weight with dosing gun that had quick change dose system. We were saving 10 to 15% one the chemicals used for the mob. Remember that load cells will need to be secured to concrete base and schute must be free standing or will not be accurate. A race able to hold 3 or 4 cows before schute makes loading everything easier as they follow each other till race is full.
Farming the hills in Wisconsin got me one summer, I went backwards in a ford TW15 hauling a load of big square bales I missed a gear going up steep hill
Hey Ryan and Hannah and little Niece. Nice trip. The cattle shoot works easy and great. A big hand clap and shout to Miss Hannah for help Ryan while he is recovering. You unes are a great team. Take care, Take it easy and TRUST JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's only a $3K price difference that I noticed in the models I was comparing and the features make it worth it if you're running enough cattle through them. The cattle almost don't mind walking through it compared to other chutes we've used.
Hey Doc! My guess is that a U bend wouldn't be as effective at holding them in place. The top bar is more to push them down. Making it similar to the bottom would take away more working space.
Wish ya luck. Tried going Registered myself and it made no noticeable difference on sale day. Maybe Wisconsin is different, but unless you're a known name in the business for 20+ years, nobody seems to care. Ride that RU-vid clout and see I guess
Depends how you market them. They're more intended as breeding stock if you pass on their registration. The way I see it, can't hurt to have it and can definitely help.
Those heifers had a lot of human contact from the way they behaved. I use to have registered Holstein cattle. A whole lot more paperwork haha, Might you share the names of those heifers?
Ryan, I don't mean to sound stupid, but I never understood why you would register a beef heard, maybe the brude cows but not the steers, to my way of thinking, you are selling the steers to the packing house for beef, or hamburger meat, I know that is an over simulation of it but I'm not gonna set here and type out a whole lot of words to explain my position. I hope you understand the deeper meaning of my question??? Love your channel and say "Hi" to Hannah.....
Angus..... the least tastiest beef breed there is... such a waste... maybe you really should have built you a loafing barn for them to protect em from the elements....
@@davidgay2679 nope I havent.... Ive had beef from herefords, simetal, dexter, various dairy breeds much better flavorful steaks and burger.... the only reason the industry pushes Angus is becuase of their rapid conversion of feed to weight gain ratio... If I could choose I avoid the tasteless Angus breed
