How Farms Work 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. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
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.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central! - Zábava
Rocket at the beginning,"Oh my better hide" I love Rocket!
Lol the look on rocket face is priceless lol
Caleb Herbert
Always great videos, keep up with the great work!!
Have a good trip.. You will be just up the road for FP.. Thanks for the vids!
I always enjoy watching videos about the calves
Thanks for sharing Ryan..
Love seeing your baby doing so well and listing to you. Love Rocket also! Hope you will do more video on both.
Were harvesting in Montana right now garbanzo beans and spring wheat.
Love your channel it’s awesome I love all the farm work!
Wheat harvesting further west as part of your round robin trip following the fair at Boone, IA.
Enjoyable video!! Day well spent 😀
Eating enough water-Ryan Kuster 2018 lol great to see more calves coming into the farm.
The calves you bought look great! They look even better when they are cheap 😂
Awesome video as always gotta love baby calves and Rocket
Glad you are buying Holstein calves helps the dairy farmer.
Love your videos keep up the good work
N'🦁
What is your plans with fritzsie, and for the heifers bottle calves you buy where do they go , are they sold for beef or as future milking cows?
They have been harvesting seed corn up by Boone, they started a few days ago
Like the video Ryan and love Rocket and the Brown calve to , Lovely little blond in the Barn .
i didnt see no blood, were you dreaming.. lol
you’ve done a breakdown on your profit from crops could you make a video comparing your “profit” between raising bottle calves vs cow calf pairs. like all in costs for both of them. Would be much appreciated!
More Fritzy videos! Fun seeing them grow up
this just shows if you put some time and effort in a cow ore a calf in this case they can realy become your best friend I saw somebody in school who had a cow who came running to the gate when ever he called for her it was amazing to see the bond they had.
Road Trip!!! Ryan be extra careful editing that footage, LOL. Have a great time.
1:48 taking your new dog for a walk LOL!
I love every video you post
I’m in south west nebraska. Would be happy to have you stop by. Some neighbors will probably be chopping forage sorghum could probably go watch that
If you come out to utah we are starting spring wheat harvest on my farm.
Hey Ryan. Your should come down to south west Missouri. We are in planting season in our mid size dairy farm. Would love to have you for a visit
hi ryan i am from ireland and would love you to come over to see how we farm over here.
I love the calf that had a black front half but his flanks had tan.
Looks like good straw, what crop is it from? Straw is hella expensive in the UK right now
Frtizy is adorable!
On the way back you should come up for my farm in Greenville Wisconsin.
What day are you guys gonna be at the farm show
Good to know I am not the only one that calls his cows name in a high pitch voice. 😁
I thought that was Ryan's natural pitch and he deepens it for the other videos and parts 😁
Johnny Essick my 4-h steers hate it so much I gave up on doing that lol.

What was the powder you spread out around the calves? TIA
Welker farms is harvesting spring wheat in Montanna right now.
You should get in contact with Welker farms out of Montana. They also have a popular CZcams series and are currently harvesting.
the joys of teaching Rocket how to bid.
YOU need to video on just Rocket. It seems like he goes everywhere with you. A day in the Life of a Farm Dog. Rocket seems to dodge all the Farm equipment and getting into the tractor with you is heart warming to me. Reminds me of my dog Aspen, that dog would do anything me. Sure miss her.
In the beginning of the video, rocket "yea that's a little to close for comfort".
Very very good
Nice to see the barn filling up again. I realize from watching your videos that there's always an element of risk. "Farming is legalized gambling" --Travis. If that's the case, is Fritzie your Ace of Spades?
Around my area bull calves are going for 20 30 bucks
good show
Are you guys starting diary again
what do you do to get rid of dead calf?
How many dogs do you guys have?
Is that lime you guys put down before the straw when bedding the calves
Ok looked like it we mix lime with our saw dust and straw when we bed our milk cows and dry cows and all of our hefiers
bring a tent , many of the small towns in Neb have free or cheap camping in their parks or fairgrounds. strange that calf prices are now back to a normal level.
Walkers farm in Shelby mt
Those are good looking calves. Looks like one of them wants to follow you. Maybe another pet lol
If you want you can come out to Southeast Iowa see a turkey farm
What are the calves outside of the barn
Great video..👌👌👌
Check with Greg Judy Missouri and look at how hes bought 6 farms raising multiple species and regenerating soil. If Monsanto now Bayer glycophaste lawsuits shut down Roundup, it's a proven option to consider and be prepared for the upcoming changes, not to mention if grain prices continue down the drain. Have a safe trip and bring back a red Angus bull calf for your older brother that has genetics for pasture grazing disease resistance. He would be a hell of an interesting upload and is a great guy that saw the light on grain farming. Safe journey.
Can you make video to see what you are making on them
Got a big enough trailer for fritzy at 2:40
Hey man, I love your vids. (mainly here for the machines though)
Probably a stupid question but I know jack about farming so sorry in advance.
Are these for milk or meat?
What kind of calve is a bottle one?
Also english is not my first language so it might be clear for a native speaker but I dont get much of the specialty words you sometimes use :)
Thanks!
They're being raised for meat... "Bottle calves" are calves from dairy cows. Once they have them, they want the cow to produce milk to sell, so they sell the calves. Since they cannot nurse their mother, they are fed milk replacer with bottles until weaning... Then they'll go on pasture and be fed corn until they're big enough to sell for meat animals.
Later! OL J R :)
What no return to Fritzy at the end????
Ur vids r the best. I check CZcams all the time to see if u have posted. I’m also following u on snap
Why are the calves so cute.
In the first 8 weeks , between MEDS n milk , a good guess of a investment do you have -the calf cost ?
well for me i can count on 2 bags of milk replacer 20kg per calf at $76 cnd a bag, and a $100 cnd in meds, shots, de-horning cream, tags, as long as it dont keep getting sick, i dont have any bottle costs as i have never used them, it is faster to spend a short time with them showing how to eat from a pail and in 2 to 33 days there off on there own
The audio is crisp. Damm
I'm just a Hired Man but you should come up to Eastern North Dakota this fall for sugar beet Harvest I think you'll get a real kick out all the horsepower in one field

Well was Fritzey waiting on you?
Nice calves.
Is fritzy of pet or just for meat?
If she is a pet would she be apart of your breeding stock?
nice looking calves,, thats a lot and in USD per calf here i been getting them for free to to 30, $40CND, i dont like paying a lot as these calve are born to die, any little sickness and the just dont respond to any treatment, and i dont get them from any action as i would have to drive 6 to 12 hours one way, i get most of mine from one dairy farmer as he calving year round, i do get some from 2 other places but i never mix in the same barn, have 7 going for freezer camp to families and shelters in need in Nov, or Dec, as there 18 months old now, same as all my turkeys and meat birds, i just pick some up Monday and next day they had the shits from all my many years doing this i have come to be leave, this is all from all the stress they under go, first being taken from mom, then moved around the farm from barn to barn then me driving them home a 20 min trip, as it seems most all have the shit when i get them and i buy calf lite II by the case to have on hand for treating this, and it seem each one take a pack 2 times a day for 4 or 6 days and that crap not cheep
how old is Friz?
You should go to Weler Farms
Ryan, what do you do with deceased calves? Looking to begin raising bottle calves next year if I can find the right property to rent. Thanks.
Depends on the disease. Some are treatable and you can save them, others, it is more humane to put the calves down
@@arib3291 darn autocorrect I meant to say deceased. Like when one dies, what to do with the body?
You can bury them or get a company to come and collect them. If it is one of my pet ones and the cause of death doesn't pose a risk to my other stock then I like to bury mine. If it is one of my commercial animals, then there is a truck that comes around every few days and takes them away.
Rocket your an alright dog
I just bought a shirt from you guys.
I seen you doing that
Hi I subscribed
Taking the calf out for a walk.
I have just come across your videos, like yourself always patching up a fence usually on the neighbours side, or tagging calves.... I’m In Australia, i buy in Holsteins at 50kg for roughly $30 AUD, over a 3 -4 month period i’ll buy in 10 a week and then sell them to a feedlot at 12 weeks who exports them to the USA at 15 months. I wean at roughly 6 weeks of age once they are eating 3kg of high protein calf pellets a day, by 12 weeks they are average weight of 120kg.
Hello!!
How much money this cow?
The question is Who does Fritzy love more? You or Jamie?
the old stock trailer is getting a bit of rust in her I see
Why dump the straw on top of the calf and when you guys were loading them you pick up the white on and just dump it on the trailer
You should go see our Wyoming life from youtube
Seen it.
Mailon
Have u ever been to the farm science thing that is in london ohio
get your showers at truckstps
Rocket got scared poor dog
Are the Golden Retriever herd dogs. Have you ever used Border Collies
If you were to buy cows and get a market would you start dairy farming again?
Never! Enjoying life now.
How many did you buy
Including today. 27 so far.
Too bad you couldn't go east. You could show me how to harvest rocks?
I definitely want to make it out East sometime.

At around the 6 minute mark were you guys talking about farming simulator 19? if so LOL... hope to see some gameplay on one of your channels see how you guys would run a farm when you have infinite money and no laws to work with.
We bought a new cow trailer with slide open doors
What year is That blue GMC?
John Haas oh I thought it was his cause he always drove it, know the year by chance Though?
John Haas alright thanks!
@@BlaiseHeaston both trucks are 2004.
Why do you chain your calves into the shed ?
So they don’t spread disease
How Farms Work I see because I know here in the uk we put our calves in small pens rather than I big shed
Rocket looks like he or she would like to be someplace else
She would make a good show calf.
Why would a horse shit pail bunter make a good show calf?
Ryan, I'd be a little concerned once you get back with the enthusiasm your little fellow will have to see you. He isn't getting any smaller. BTW, ............are cows tongue kisses sloppy wet? :)
Hahaha this statement is very true. This morning she was all panicked in the barnyard waiting for me.
Typically not their tongues feel like sandpaper licking you
try having a limo heifer thats a year old and every time i go down to all them in from the field they all come running for there share of the grain, but this heifer she will eat for a little wile well i am feeding the turkeys layers and meat birds and as i walk up the hill this heifer comes up behind me and grabs my shirt tail and sucks and chews on it as i walk up the hill, holding me back off and on, she has a good hold, its like an invisible lead rope every day
not when they are young calves, very smooth in fact
Rocket looks bored at the sales barn and so does Travis. Good luck with the show
