    Summer Schedule
    Our schedule may vary, but expect a new video every Wednesday. Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
    Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
    These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    Don’t worry Hanna; when I started working in construction, I was framing by hand (no nailers until I was good with just a hammer) they nicknamed me Lightning...cause “I couldn’t hit the same place twice”

    As a former dairy farmer, its always hard selling them. You get attached to them but it's just how life is! Thanks for sharing your story!

    That's a nice set-up between truck and cattle trailer. Wish we could run something like that here in the UK would save alot of trips to and fro. That's a HGV here in the UK 😁 glad the prices are doing alright for you over the pond to. Take care. 👍

      That setup is actually on the medium side of things. With a larger 3500 dually truck and a 32-40ft triaxle featherlight aluminum trailer ive seen trailer loaded down packed tight wth cattle. Easily $30,000 worth of livestock or more.

    Ryan, for safety you need to install the safety chain anchors the other way. If you do have a failure those small keeper pins in the safety anchors will nor prevent them from turning and possible coming out.

    I used to ride along when we’d take cattle to auction when we had our beef angus feedlot running though that’s all I did on that side. One time took two trailers to a sale place around 2 hours from us and when we started unloading we had a cow with her foot through the floor of the trailer, wood floor and wasn’t caught before we loaded but thankfully it looked like it happened right when we were unloading as we couldn’t find blood anywhere

      Sid Jones he was obviously being sarcastic. Between that twit screaming and the fact that they run them through a falling down building to a 180 degree turn into a trailer, I’m surprised they even got them to the sale barn. This is the worst channel on CZcams to see good Cattle handling.
