Simmental Cattle Purchase
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- Hello, This video showcases the post winter storm and our decision to make the most of a bad situation. We lost 5 calves during the winter storm. Instead of crying about it, we decided to go to a "Premium" Simmental/Angus cattle sale and purchase a couple of "Pairs" and a bull to offset the losses we had last week. Basically, it's like doubling down at the casino when you have a loss. We also purchased a new herd sire that will have a major influence on our herd for the next five years. We also highlight some plumbing repairs we made to the weld house in the pecan orchard.

Hello, Thanks for all the positive post over last week. It’s been extremely brutal here in Texas. We faired better than most, but we still had losses. I made a decision to press the gas instead of the brake pedal and move forward. I hate to dwell on the past. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those impacted by these unprecedented winter storms.
Your channel popped up so I watched it. Have a great day I subscribed because I enjoyed your video. Across the red river from ya
Hello Dwight, glad you found us. We are just south of the red river. Thanks for watching. Truly appreciate it.
I really appreciate your positivity. You have no idea how helpful it is for me and other people in this industry to hear! It’s a tough way of life, but God keeps blessing us through the good and bad. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Hunter, I learned a long time ago to not dwell on the past and keep looking forward. Have a good week.
I’m here from Homesteading Pastor, to God Be the GLORY
Thanks for stopping by. The Homesteading Pastor has a great channel.
I am here from Homesteading Pastor. I watched a few of your veidos and subscribed to your channel. I live in Oklahoma and got a touch of what you went threw. This weekend the sun came out and Sunday and Monday the snow melted. We still don't have water. Something about the pressure. We been out almost a week. God bless all the people in Texas and help them get back on their feet.
Thanks for watching my neighbor up north. Hope you get water soon. Glory be to God.
Great video my friend. Glad things are going much better for my Texas friends. Cows are looking great. Glad you were able to get the well house taken care of to. Praying for you guys! GOD Bless Y’all. 🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇
Thank you Sir! The support you guys have shown has been amazing. So happy to have found your channel. Keep up the good work.
Great video! Hope you made it through the storms okay!
Thanks. Appreciate it.
Nice replacements, so glad you are through this. Stepping up as well ;) Thumbs up from us!!
Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it. Have a great day.
That's great that you were able to find some good out of that catastrophe Scott. Take care and have a blessed week.
Appreciate the support. Take care my friend.
Congrats on upgrading the herd! When we talked over the weekend I knew it was a tough week for us, glad you turned it around!
Thanks, I hope we never see a week like that again.
this year is already a roller coaster, keep on keeping on. Have a great rest of the year!!
Thanks Faith! Hope all is well on your end.
I would say your doing better all in all..Cram that water shed with insulation everywhere walls floor, ceiling and wrap the pipes and tanks with it. 150 watt heat lamp from the ceiling your good for any winter event. One fine lookin bull..he will grow to be excellent sized.
Thanks DJ, Yes we will upgrade the insulation in there for sure. Appreciate it.
Got that bell clicked now
From one Heritage Farm to another, thank you.
I love my SimAngus cows i have an Angus Bull and i just bought a Simmental Bull a couple weeks ago. Sorry to hear about your loss of animals down there. Glad to see the weather has straightened up for you all down there! Take care sir!
Thanks for watching. Truly appreciate it.
Nice looking animals. That bull has a heck of frame for 16 months. It'll be nice to see him around three years old to see how he finishes out.
Hello Sir, thank you! I think he’s going to be a good one. At least his genetics say he will. Who knows. Haha. Thanks.
Hi Scott, we had a 300 cow herd and started using Simmental bulls (AI) in the mid 70’s then went to Limousin in the 80’s. Simmental made a big improvement genetic wise in our herd. You’re gonna love your purchase.
Calving ease was one thing we always put a priority on when choosing our AI Bull choices
Thanks for watching. I totally agree. We focus on calving ease as our first priority.
Congratulations on pushing forward that Hass to be devastating losing that many babies at once I’ve never had that happen I buy year and a half old bulls and they service 25 had no problem.
Thanks for watching. I’m hoping he can handle 15 to 20.
The weather is insane! It got to 70 here today, last week it was nearly -20
I agree, it’s been gorgeous the last couple of days. Texas weather.
I have a white face simm/Angus bull he was a embryo. His dad is HOC broker. Low birth weight calfs I have never pulled a calf. I bought 2 red registered simmital cows. I also have Angus cows.
Thanks for watching. Sounds like a great bull and herd.
Way to press forward and keep your head up. I ended up losing 1 new calf during the storm. I contacted my local FSA to see if there's any help for these kinds of situations. They do offer a Livestock Indemnity Program through Disaster Assistance but man they ask for a lot of paperwork. It may be worthwhile for you since you lost 5 calves. If I'm reading it right they offer $163.15 per documented lost calf.
Hello Sir. Thank you. I’m not going to fall into the pity trap, this will make me stronger. Yes, I looked into the FSA Info, you are correct. It’s not a lot of $, but I’ll take it over nothing. I’ll use it to offset the cost of the pairs I just purchased. Sorry to hear about your loss. Really sucks. But what can you do?
Yes, it is a shame that you are offing the cows that lost their calves to the cold. You must have gotten a good deal on the two cow/calf pair and Bull.
Hello Mike, We are constantly culling and upgrading a few cows every year. Depending on age, genetics, calving history, etc.
It’s a hard job but someone has to do it. Great looking bull calf and cows.
Do you cow have a barn or shelter? Are you selling cows that lost calves because you don’t want to wait or because you think they aren’t good mothers?
Hello, regarding the cows that we are going to sell. Couple of different factors, One is a 3 yr old that has now lost two calves, cutting my loss. A couple others are commercial cows and selling to pay for the registered pairs. Upgrading the herd.
@@HeritageFarmsTexas I'm glad you're making lemonade of the lemons.
I was wondering how ya weathered the storm?
Hello sir, Texas as a whole was not prepared for this. Unfortunately I learned a lot, but the school of hard knocks was very expensive. Appreciate you asking. The CZcams community is very strong. Thank you.
