Awesome and smart farming
What is your average daily gain on these cattle?
There's a lot to learn here
For 5 months those steers are out on pasture
Looks like the dining hall at a sorority.
How do you prevent all that hay catching fire?
Uh I can't really properly answer this question, the reason hay catches fire is the microbes inside the bales, this is more commonly know as fermentation and the way ranchers and us keep this process from occurring is low moisture levels when stacking after harvest, basically allowing enough dry time
Simple answer. Make sure your hay is dry before baling and storing away. Hay that is baled wet will heat up and will start on fire
Cows poop and piss on everything including the hay and food.
Megan's a big girlie, nice toys too.

You complete cut her off during conversation whats happening when they come in. Dewormer, parasites and growth…..what??? Growth implant??? Answers, please!
Disgraceful never see grass 3rd world etics
Alan Irish Kelly All beef cattle spend the majority of their lives on pasture. The feedlot is just a few months and they are outdoors and well fed. Why is the be all end all of animal welfare for you people having their only food source underfoot to trample and poop on? Intestinal parasites are a huge and often fatal issue in pastured animals and many chemical dewormers exist to combat this.
alan, you're a moron. there is no grass for 6-7 months. it's called winter.
What do you mean. Your bigotedness makes you ignorant. In third world countries that's where cows actually see grass 365 days a year. Come to South Africa and Zimbabwe I'll show you. Our cows don't sleep in barns or eat hay just grass 365 days a year. Good day sir
@@GrumpyTinashenot every place has grass for 365 days a year. Winter covered grass with inedible snow. Unless they are fed gay or grain the cows with die. I don’t expect you to know that though.
Look in the feed bunks...they are full of grass or seed of grass.
A waste of limited feed, water, land and other rescources. Comfortably Unaware # Dr Richard Oppenlander
I'm afraid this comment isn't understandable, I don't at all get your point
