Hey thanks for watching the video!
All $ amounts are in CAD
Ah, no translation to USD?
1 CAD = 0.77 USD
I'm not sure if its rite to not put a price on the waste milk u guys feed..after all it costs u around 10$ to feed a milking cow.. regardless if u dump the milk in sewer it still costs you.. but u are using it the rite way
@@bigthumperfoot is it that difficult to convert it yourself? Come on lazy
@@bigthumperfoot Not intelligent enough to do that yourself?
Very informative. I don't think your average person has any idea what time and expense goes into raising livestock. Well done.
Well, we get a rough idea when we go shopping for beef and end up buying chicken.
Someone on here said that he was going to get himself some beef patties from a store tonight and make a burger and he too said thank you for that "now" upscaled perspective of beef lol... Is that how you think people now have a better understanding?🤣🤣🤣
@@GilmerJohn actually you don’t. A good chunk of farmers can’t even make money raising calves. A lot do good to break even. Everyone else that gets their hands on cattle after the farmers are the ones making money and jacking up the price
What is the most respectable is how well those steers are treated
for that minimum profit !
Thank you for that !
disagree no shelter provided ??!!!!
@@edcrego396 you’ve obviously never stepped foot on a farm
@@edcrego396 what shelter do deer have? They do pretty well without having running water and nutrient balanced diets formulated by an animal nutritionist.
@@edcrego396 noob
Yes, you should definitely see more of these types of videos.
It’s very interesting hearing the reasoning behind your farming decisions. I think a lot of people think farms are like the ones portrayed in the Lassie series from the 60’s. It’s great to see how you balance your love of animals and rural life with making a successful and sustainable living. I enjoy all your videos and commentary
life with love is excellent
When we see the cost of good meat in the supermarket, you realize it's not the farmer making the profits.
Supermarkets are not your friends Jan, but this doesn't come as a surprise I bet.
Excellent content, and I can say educational.👌😎
Well done Jan, thanks for what you and your family do!
Thank you for the transparency and helping us to understand the intricacies of farming and livestock.
Great info. Thanks Jan.
Extremely good explanation. Farmers usually --undervalue their own labor. Otherwise very very video. Glad to see you using pails for feeding calves. Bottles are really a recipe for disaster and spreading of disease from one calf to another. Keep up the good work ! You are on a roll here !!!!
Interesting and informative, Jan. Thanks for sharing all of this information.
very well done, transparent and comprehensive!
Big fan! Thank you farmers around the world!!
Thanks for sharing with us!
Very informative on the real cost of farming !! Thanks for sharing !!👍👍
Great content! Thanks for putting in the extra time.
Such a beautiful haircut, just fits the summer.
Jan, what a great video of your family operation. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jan for sharing the new video with interesting information on raising steers, costs, risks and profits.👍🤟❤
Getting to see how various aspects of your farm work is so interesting. Of course I love seeing the calves
Good information Jan! Thanks for educating us! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Jan, Thank you for the video! Great information!
Excellent, honest video. We must remember infrastructure and electricity etc.
Very nice of you to share your information. People have to see this as a business of taking care of cows. The other thing most people don’t connect is you, the farmer has to put the cost upfront for 18 months before you get a payday. 1800 buck is a lot of money to have just hanging around on 4 hoofs.
That was very informative and loved your breakdown. Thank you so much for explaining it all. Great job.
Great video and information. Thank you for preparing and sharing all of this.
very informative....thank you for doing this.
Very good information Jan. Thanks.
Top notch explanation about your family farm operations. Thanks for sharing and God bless everyone involved in your farm business! Cheers
Great video-thanks for the time and effort you spend putting this together-I learned a lot.
Great discussion of dairy cost , thank you for sharing , stay safe , enjoy !!
Thank you for all your work and congratulations for raising such nice beef
Really interesting analysis! Thank you for your effort and sharing your insight.
Thank you for a very honest informative video.
That was terrific and obviously a lot of work. Glad to see those poor bull calves having such good life. Beautiful farm, always love seeing the drone overview in your intro. Thank you for such an informative video.
Thank you For sharing, This stuff is very fascinating and helps to put things in perspective at the store. your videos are some of the few I get excited to see when there is a new one. Much respect to you and your family from down south. :-) Thanks Jan
Good info! 👍
Have been enjoying your videos for a while now.
Thanks
Bruce

Yea very informative thanks for taking the time to do this I love milk and beef so thank you for all y’all do
Really enjoyed this video Jan, it nice to see the honesty of want it takes and how much you make from each steer. I would love to see something from you about the milking side of your farm as well
Very informative. Thank you
Very informative! Jan and family, you all do a very good job with creating this content, it’s very impressive. I appreciate that you take the time to visit these topics to help inform those that aren’t familiar with how a farm is run. I watch and enjoy everyone of your videos and must say that this is the best one so far. One of the best farm videos I’ve seen. Thanks for all the effort and time put into these!
Absolutely fascinating thanks so much for sharing your life and family with us ❤️❤️❤️
I love hearing the business side of things as well. Thanks
Very informative clip. Thank you!
Great video. I love seeing all of your videos. I would love to see more of these types of videos. I think it is great that you took the time to make this video. There is so much miss information out there about dairy farming. You did a great job explaining how everything works. People think that it is so easy to farm . Thanks again and have a nice day.
I'm 15 and I just started a small farm CZcams channel anyone who wants to check it out feel free to do so.
Great video Jan, thanks for all the extra effort that went into this. Big thanks to your dad as well who probably did a double take when you suggested this topic. Safe to say the future of your farm and operation is in great hands. Thanks!!
so well explained, with numbers. well done!
Great job Jan.
Awesome job on the breakdown! I enjoyed this video immensely! 🥰
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Jan , Thank you for your important jab
Great in-depth video! I really enjoy your and your sister's videos. Keep up the good work...
Well done! The margins certainly are slim. Appreciate all your family does.
Great show today Jaan! It’s is every time of course but you were very on point with your explanation and presentation. Your normal into is probably one of the best on all of CZcams. Future topics, it’d be awesome to see an explanation of all commodities and why those particular ones. It’s changed immensely since I left the farm close to 50 years ago. Once again great show.
Great video Jan.
I know it's a lot of work for the steers, but I'm happy to know your doing it. I know from the videos that every single person at your farm do look after the animals very well.
that was truly enlightening….thanks for you work in preparing this report…..fascinating
Well done. And congratulations
Definitely a great video now you could see how much time and effort is put into just your beef cattle great job informs everybody and how hard it is to work on a farm your family is fantastic because I see they're all involved with the farm one way or another God bless and kudos to you 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️

Excellent video Jan. You spent a lot of time and effort to produce this for us and I certainly appreciate it! Thank you!
Great video. Best explanation I’ve heard.
Excellent presentation. Not many farmers would be that open and honest with their finances. Thanks very much for sharing.
Excellent Job !!!
💯Thanks! That was an Awesome video! We want more!
Awesome video! Very informative.
Jan, thank you for sharing that information. It appears to me that you really take good care of the steers and cows. I am glad to see that you get a fair amount of profit for those steers. I am 80 years old and had a career as a licensed electrical design engineer. Every day eating beef and drinking MILK. I am a huge fan of milk. Never out grew my love for a cold, cold, cold glass of milk. As a kid dad had a couple of brown milk cows. They provided milk and mom provided the butter milk (yummmmmmy), butter, corn bread and soft cheese. One person that worked on the farm taking care of the cows, mules and horses was a wonderful old black man. He took care of me for many a day while dad worked. I really think of and miss him a lot. He was a wonderful, unforgetable Christian man.
Good luck with the farm,
Sam Allen
Thanks for sharing! A great video as always!
Thank you for laying all of that out. I am always curious about the business side of farming.
A very interestuing analysis of the steer operation of the farm and the reasoning behind the decisions.. Always appreciate the excellent content & presentation in your vlogs

Jan, You have always let your viewers know about your farm, upgrades, improvements and even troubles that happen in the course of the daily chores, milking cops and the barn chores. It is interesting and much different than the usual farm channels. Of course, you are always the star of the show and your efforts are greatly appreciated. Yes, I am sure that all your viewers would enjoy learning more about the inner workings of the farm and the financial structure of dairy farms in general. Nice presentation, Jan. Each item explained, all calculations including the possibility of losses worked out. Very nicely done. Thanks, Jan - interesting show especially with your walk through. Definitely more like that. Cole Cornstar does this with his farm and it is a revelation. One more thing - Nice to know you are making some profit from the steers rather than raising them at a loss. And, the more the grain prices drop, the better income you will gain.
Thanks for explaining the cost aspect of this side of the business. Thumbs up. Good luck.
I like this sort of topic, especially focusing on things that stand out as different on your farm compared to other dairy farms
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan great videos thanks for sharing
Jan thanks for a very informative and interesting video. I’m surprised that you were that open with your numbers. Most people are hesitant to divulge that information. Keep up the great job. God Bless. 🙏👏👍🇺🇸
Thank you for the informative presentation regarding the steer calves and how they are raised. All your cows look very healthy and well cared for...males & females. Thank you for the video 😊👍
I remember a rhyme from when I was a kid. "How now, brown cow?" Today we got a close up of that cow. I have seen her in previous videos and now will always be watching for her.
Excellent video Jan! You put a lot of time and effort into all your videos. Obviously, this video required a lot of extra work compared to your normal videos. Excellent result for the video! Truly appreciate the deliberate way you approached the subject. No complaints here for any part of the video. Nothing but compliments and well wishes for you and your family!
Thanks man! Realy cool video to have a look inside the numbers of a farm like this!! Keep it up, love the video's ❤️
Hi Jan & family, thank you All for such dynamic informative video's! We all need to focus on future farming, we all need to eat naturally! Peace & Love to all here
Thank you for an excellent video on finances. You are to be commended for the humane way that you manage your herd.
Thanks for this. It was very interesting! Always enjoy your videos!!
Very very good video!! More like it will be great! Your doing a fantastic job!!!
Thanks for sharing the financials. One of the most interesting post you have
Well done. It's sobering to see how much cost goes into raising the steers. There is also substantial business risk management involved to bring these animals to market. Some sleepless nights sometimes I'm sure. Keep up the good work and thank you for educating us.
I learned a lot from this video. I would like to see other costs for other parts of your farm too!
So interesting. I love watching these and seeing what goes on behind the scenes. What hard work!
Excellent video Yun ! Thanks 😊
That was an impressive presentation thank you
Love the transparency
Thank you for all your h hard work
Excellent video Jan very informative
