@@jermainewyatt1995 thanks! I'm glad you like the videos! 😁

@@ohrmundtsimmentals ur welcome

When do you wean the calves?

@@owenpiggott2640 We will start looking to wean calves in mid to late September.

@@timpingel9607 oh yeah the volume at least has been there. 👍

@@mihandsplitters705 we thought about doing that if we couldn't find something close. It seems to work pretty good.

@@creeperchaogaming1589 thank you!

@@e.a.bfarms we have right about 40 acres of pasture and we're probably right at max stocking rate. That's why I keep telling Dad they need to go to the back pasture. We usually end up feeding a dozen baled during summer to stretch it out.

@@joshhorvat8247 I size the paddock for an every other day move. This year being that it has been so wet, I've made them a little bit bigger than a normal year.

@@e.a.bfarms lol yup 😆

@@tim7409 there are different capacity size darts. I have a 3,5,7&10cc size darts. I think for one of my treatments I put 4cc in a 5cc dart.

@@whiteface5055 that was last big rain event. It's started slowing down now. The rest of the rotations get better. Thankfully!

@@mihandsplitters705 nice! I've kicked around the idea of trying millets for this or to fill in weak hay/pastures. Maybe I'll still try it this summer. 👍👍

@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn our cows are getting a little fussy too. It's gonna be some quick rotating the next couple rounds with the way things look. We'll be in though. 🤞😆

@@janetlutter9925 yeah it's hard to rotate with this much water. I've actually been giving them larger chunks than I normally this year On about 20 acres of pasture that in front of them and behind them has standing water. 🙄

@@dianebills5433 I wish I could!

@@e.a.bfarms oh nice, good to know. Sometimes you don't know where the seed comes from when it comes from the mill. Yeah they seem to have like 3or4 bags when we go to the store. It would be nice to get enough at a time to get the discount though.

@ohrmundtsimmentals Yeah, we buy a pallet at a time. . .I just got to remember to order it well before you are out. . .

@@e.a.bfarms at least it seems like decent stuff for a decent price.

@@timflick2147 yeah the 648 is a nice baler. Very similar to ours. I'd like to find a 7070 possibly. Looking at John Deere balers too.

@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn after these bales it was 2 weeks till got to bale a little more. Yeah after the first 5 bales it hadn't had an issue since. Most likely some moisture in the connection. 🤷😆

@@e.a.bfarms I'm pretty sure it was a New Holland 450(4x5) with net and rotocut. It only had about 10k bales through it. For a decent price. There should be a video coming in the next week or so showing the chopper boxes.

It turned out decent. Nice grass hay. We cut 10 acres of really decent hay yesterday. The field that we spread manure on. Dad's going to Ted it this afternoon.

@ohrmundtsimmentals Hammer down! We have only made 40ish acres of about 1,400 this year and its almost july. . . Going to be along couple months. . .

@@e.a.bfarms wow, yeah 2 weeks of no rain would help us all out I think. Best of luck, you'll get there. 👍

Guns, guns guns! When are we running to Zingers to get an optics package!!😂

@@mikehoffman1027 lol I can actually get a red dot sight for. 😉

Oh yes that party we do miss. We still think we can cut a little faster with the 1411 than the 499. What always slowed us down was at the end was cutting into a wedge and starting plugging the reel. The out 499 was really nice, just the last year our 2 it was so hard to get it set to cut well.

Yeah I was kinda surprised too. Well worth the experiment. 😁

Which way is that?

@@ohrmundtsimmentals Depends how old they are.There's a couple different ways

@@regenbassford yeah this way just works for us. We really prefer just letting the bull do that job for us. 😆

Awesome! Thanks for watching. Couldn't agree more with your findings in breeding.

Thanks for subscribing! I just use a permethrin concentrate and mix it in a pump sprayer.

It's all about utilisation of the grasses. Smaller chunks and more moves. Some will rotate twice a day, some once a day. I don't like them on a chunk for more than 3 days because your grass will start regrowing by then. Then the cows will go eat that fresh growth. You didn't want that because it doesn't have the recovery time.

@@ohrmundtsimmentals awesome thank you for the information.

Because when you come back around 4or5 weeks later for round and then round 3 the chunks get bigger or I'd have to move them more frequently.

@ohrmundtsimmentals Yeah, just figured it would be easier adjusting time instead of area. But also doesn't look like it takes too much time running fence.

@@e.a.bfarms maybe 20 minutes. So not too bad.

No they don't need hay. I only used it to help lure them off that chunk of pasture they were on so I'd have less issues with calves getting stuck on the piece they were on.

I think it was 17 I think. Thanks, yeah I'm excited for them too. Hope we get at least 1. Lol

I'll give an example and hopefully it helps. If I have 2 bulls both registered and maybe they're even full brothers. Bull A is DNA tested and bull B is not. Both have EPDs but bull A will have higher accuracy epds then bull B because of the DNA testing. I've heard that DNA testing would be similar to registering 25 offspring from that animal. I'm testing some of the full bloods because there isn't as much data in their pedigrees background to back up their EPDs. So I'm trying to give them a boost. Also I want to verify that they are non diluters.

Right!?!?

😂 We've had that happen though. A few calves that were born right around a big storm seem like they would rather run across 3 countries vs stay in their pasture. 🤦😆

Thanks!

Absolutely! 😊

Thanks

Correct this is picked field corn that is only for cows. It's not sweet corn that people eat. I mean you could probably eat it but it probably won't taste very good. Lol

😂

he ain’t making it to 2028

Thanks!
