- Everyone was blown away as 2 new buyers battled it out for an all black heifer calf, believed to possibly be a beef cross of some type. This was never mentioned and by the frame it looked dairy to me. The price soared to over $300! Looked to me like an $80 calf maybe. I did end up with 8 calves at a great price. Enjoy!

Watching this for the nostalgia trip. Used to go to the local auction barn with my grandfather. Love a day at the auction.
You made a very helpful video we watched your video from the beginning to the end
I like what you been doing with your bar
Nice purchase
For crazy legs, use newspaper rolled around his leg a couple inches below the knee, to the hoof, then tape it off with duct tape. Use enough newspaper to where the ankle won't bend. About 2 o3 folded pages. After you finish, help him stand. He should take right off, every day you will see a difference. It takes about 2 weeks on a new born.
Nice info...thank you!
He does need some work and that’s a great idea. Thanks for commenting. - DJ
My grandparents have passed away this past year and I've gotten so nostalgic for sale barn days. I wish I had stayed with it instead of becoming a nurse. I've gotten so burnt out.
Melina, sorry to hear about your grandparents. It’s never too late to chase a passion. I hope it works out nursing or otherwise. All the best - DJ
Look like healthy calves
Yes, pretty good group. Thanks for comment Nick. Hope you are well. - DJ
You have to do more video a week I've been waiting forever
I try to upload at least Monday-Tuesday.
I honestly don’t know what my bulls would sell for at auction but I’ve been getting about 4200 for my black Irish pure breds. W/ papers
I wouldn’t know but that an interesting thought. What weight do you sell them?
Sale barns wont bring that, lol
That wasn’t handled correctly on the salebarn’s part. It’s not your fault they didn’t do their part to get the buyers there. I’d change commission companies. It’s up to them to assure that the calves bring market value, that’s their job. Whether they buy them themselves or not. The reason I know this is, I own a livestock auction myself in SW Oklahoma. We avg around 2000 head/week but big salebarn/little salebarn doesn’t matter, it’s the same concept.
Having both doors working will really make it easier to get them in & out.
Congrats on the puppies! The new calves look good.
Just curious...how is your little sheep doing?
I swear...that guy at the auction named Richard buys a lot of critters!
DJ: Don't ask me which ones" Dave: Which ones?
I sold the sheep to Dave haha. I’m excited for puppies too. Hope you’re well. - DJ
@03:25, what was going on with the calf's leg? Did he get hurt at auction? I attended my first auction a few weeks ago. I didn't realize that price was per head. Luckily , lady in front of me stopped me before I went crazy. Did come home with some nice turkeys. Excited to go back.
The calf wasn’t hurt at the auction. Pretty common for trouble calves to brought to auction. Sometimes hard births leave them a little banged up or born a bit knuckled over. Sounds like you had a good experience. Thank you for commenting Missy. - DJ
Where is the action located.
I always feel bad when calves go to auction that young
It's the way of the world. Luckily folks buy them up and try to give them a good life. I've bought a lot of them myself. Thanks for commenting Faith. All the best - DJ
I raise 1/2 angus 1/2 jersey. Buy them here in South Dakota. Pay way more than what u do at auction for bottle calves. What do u think for eating, and or selling for some profit? P.s. love your videos
Selling or eating? Sorry, I don’t understand the question my friend. Thank you I’m glad you like them. All the best - DJ
They sell some buy the pound and some dollar. I'm confused looking forward to NJ auction how does it work? Thanks
David, only animals sold by the head (dollar) here are goats. Everything else is by the pound. If you pay $1.25/pound for a calf that’s 100 pounds it’ll cost you $125. If you bid on a per head animal weight isn’t a factor. The auctioneer will tell you if you are paying per pound or head. All the best - DJ
But I love your video on day I like to do what u do
You can do anything you want with enough determination. Let me know if you have questions Bryan. Thanks for commenting
Is this In Littleton?
Seems like you buy alot of calves. How long do you keep them for?
It really varies. This Covid situation has demand way up for bottles so I give the people what they want. Originally I was wearing them off.
10:00 the calf was sick, $60? am I hearing it right? Other place will only cost $25.
It didn’t look sick to me, a terrible bad frame on her but idk about actually sick
I'm new here and was wondering, if you buy calves and your buddy sells calves, why not just buy his?
Big Skye, good question and the answer is Dave’s calves are expensive. His last bunch of calves were all organic. Organic is Japanese for overpriced. Hope you are having a good week. - DJ
I’m new to all this but if the calves weigh bout 100lbs how much do they sell at auction?
@@narrowexpress9096 They are sold by the lb. Usually works out to about 80 cents to just over a dollar per lb. depending on the calf's condition, time of year and buyer demand.
@@bigskye606 thank you for the reply
@@bigskye606 that is dependent on age of the calves. Young calves here typically sell by the head rather than by weight. They don't go by weight until they hit a couple hundred pounds. Even in the auction in the video the bottle calves were going by the head rather than by weight. Dairy day olds here can sometimes drop as low as $5-10/hd.
Whats the purpose of seperating bulls and heifers
I separate for easy identification. Hard to tell them apart sometimes at first glance at that age. All the best - DJ
What state?
How much for a pup
Where is this auction at
Michigan
@@PowersFamilyFarm is this the Wayland barn?
No
He looks like zac brown
Looks like Ryan Day😮
I've sold finished jerseys for less then 300
Maybe I'm the wrong business obviously I should be dumping day old black calves I'd be better off
Yes you would
If I had to guess, maybe his grandbaby had it's heart set on it, I know my granddaddy paid too much one time for a white heifer I wanted. We had all black Angus and I so wanted that pretty white one. 😆
omg i can't even understand the bet bro, pls be more clear
Please can I have a puppy one 🐶 for Me
Can I have the address please
