Just tuned in,love ranching and ranch families. I grew up on a ranch in Western Montana but now have lived 50 years in Eastern Oregon. Both my parents were raised on ranches south of Miles City, Montana.
Good morning everybody! I do have a farm in Brazil. The whether in Brazil is different is hot almost the whole year and there I saw lots snow is not too cold for cows
We do wean at about 205 days give or take. They are born on average end of Feb/beginning of March and they are weaned in September. Once we wean, we start feeding a smaller amount of grain and then gradually work it up closer to butcher date in April. They will weigh around 1300 lbs at butcher date.
I’ve got a home made wood one I use strictly for salt since we feed out of the bigger metal ones now days. But you’re right! They won’t last long if I’m always leaving salt in em!
We started out with 5 lbs for the steers when they were weaned and slowly increase from there. That was sept. 26th and now the steers are up to 15 lbs and the heifers are at 6 lbs. they get fed morning and night to break up those weights. So 7.5 & 7.5 per animal for the steers and 3 & 3 for the heifers. When we weaned the heifers they were only getting 2 lbs a day.
Very nice. Hereford are one of my favorite breeds. I really like your channel, by the way. Hope to see more and more content coming out more regularly. Your channel has a ton of potential.
If you could show just more cow videos that would be awesome. Like now you select replacement heifers. Taking a load of cull cows to the sale barn and how you select culls. Maybe?? Lol
Great channel,the real deal!
Thank you!

One extreme to another!
Is it all hereford and angus you keep, lovely video.thats a great machine for feeding the round bales.what make of tractor ye got.
Spot on. All Angus and Hereford, mostly Angus but we love a baldie cross. Using a Case MXU135.
@@allstockhay love the angus out of hereford,and angus out of charolais, crossed back to angus.
How long do you feed the steers and what do they weight when you butcher them. And do you wean them at 205 days just wondering.

Great video. Just a quick advice don't put your salt block in the metal tubs. It will rot them. Make a wood tub or used old molasses tubs.

So you feed 5 lbs per day on replacements and steers?

@@allstockhay Thanks, just found your channel, really enjoy the content!
You have some good looking cattle! Do you keep replacement heifers back every year?
Thank you Jay. We keep back 15-20 replacement heifers every year.
