How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a TH-cam 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.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
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.
Nothing better than having chilled out cattle . I’ve been around crazy and unpredictable cattle . So much harder handling them and very unnerving.
Really enjoy ur videos 🤝 brings me back to my farming days on dads farm . Thank u both for sharing ur farming lives 👍🏻
Mom to the rescue on that one huh. Better give her a big hug and a thank you haha.
It is cool to see how well you like and treat your animals. They seem to reciprocate.
Respect to all farmers
Glad to see you’re expanding your herd. Best of luck to you this year👍🏼
Man I don't know what's worse, ice or the mess left over when the ice melts. Great video!
I'd vote for the mess the cows leave behind... ;)
Do yourself a favor and get some rubber matting on the trailer floor and a few bags of barn calcite. Calcite for traction and to put on the ground where you unload to give better footing for your animals.
Gee, that cow transfer and feeding goes SO much easier in Farm Simulator 19. . . . a lot less mud, too! ;-)
Thanks for sharing guys..
great Ryan for building your herd up best of luck for 2019
Great looking cattle thanks for sharing
BANGS tags. Look great, thank you Ryan.
Enjoyed your last two videos very much. Thank you for sharing, and God Bless from Phoenix.
Hope you have an great year, awesome video!!
Hope spring comes for you soon!
Always nice to keep something for extra traction in your vehicle. I have a deal of kitty litter in mine just in case.
Nice addition to your herd. Good luck
You did good Ryan, they are nice looking cows. I also like the way you treat them.
Zip ties through and around wheel. Works everytime
13:00 man that sky looks nice!!!
Looks like your going to have a nice herd this year, Ryan.
Wow what a great group.
Great vid. Love the sense of humor. Best of luck to ya
Grant bunch of cattle good luck Ryan 👍🚜
Love the new cows .they are like a combine.
Than you for this very nice video!! We have like 85 cows in the Netherlands.
Good job boys keep up the good work
“Sugar, Spice, and everything nice.” Love it.
Love farming and ur channel
Ryan Travis yaw can keep the snow lol were just started some field work
Boy do I ever miss that feeling, with cattle and calving
Great video keep up the good job
Nice herd man congrats! #WorldsOkayestFarmer
Nothing better than happy cows!
Good looking cows! Good job..
"Creepy" made me laugh out loud. Loved the inserted text. Great work team Kuster.
Cows are fascinating
Good lookin cattle. Pretty soon you will be getting a cattle trailer for big red.
Man that’s really a nice group of cattle you bought Ryan!!
Very nice looking cows
I love cows and pigs good eats!you are very good person R
I love you videos keep up the good work
Love the channel just started watching the channel but I am already almost addicted!😂 But all and all have a great day!
Cows up north are better at ice and slippery situations then they are down here in Texas!! Those hopped out of a slick trailer onto ice like figure skaters!!
Great video!!!
This guy can make a heck of a video.Thx.Dude!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video
Still a good looking here of animals, you should be proud, great video
You should throw some crusher stone down it will help with keeping the mud a bit lower and dust your cattle will also not be sliding around that much and if you can get hold of conveyor belt strips throw that down in your trailer keep the cattle from falling around and sliding during transport
Nice to see my brother made it into the vid
Great looking group, Ryan. I hope you go over the numbers in terms of the increased quantities of hay, feed corn, and fodder that you'll need to keep them happy and healthy and the acreage of alfalfa necessary to supply that. Nice investment strategy!
You should have a bag of kitty litter .it works great if you need traction on ice.8 always carried a 50 pound bag in my semi in the winter
I keep several pails of pea gravel handy in winter, rather than salt. I want traction, not melting.
The rock salt I keep separate for melting the brick walks and the steps. I don't like using too-much salt since the snow/ice doesn't usually last that long, ...but my walk at the front door is in shadow on the north-side of the house and NEVER gets any Sun.
That is a pretty good hit looking herd of cattle Ryan that should give you a pretty good jump and youngsters, spring hopefully you have a good year and like you I like my cow's to be chilled-out
Great video and nice addition to your herd. Some time could you please maybe do a video tour of the barn at your place? Love barns like that.
Sugar, spice, and everything nice, but mostly salt, to melt the ice. Great video Ryan!
A ramp on the back of your cattle trailer would make it easier to load and unload livestock (which I am sure you would know) and easier for you guys too!
Travis is the hero of this video would slide up for the team Ryan those are some nice looking cows and heifers.
Love your vid ryan
MOM For the Win! She's the real MVP !
Send it was what I was thinking of too
Numbers video would be a great video to have out there for the just starting beef farmers!
been 45 yrs. plus when I last stood ankle deep in cow manure, never thought twice about it….now I'd possible tip toe threw it …guess the farming life has left me…find looking cattle your purchasing ….enjoying your videos
Hey Ryan nice truck
when we cant get out of our drive way we use barn lime. if you put some in front and behind of the tires you get right out.
great video
I agree with beef cattle, grain prices aren't going anywhere unless there is a drought or flood. It would be nice to have that small grain cart with an auger that your seed rep uses to haul feed with instead of buckets. All it would take is a nasty fall to put you in medical debt. Also I know you don't like to lease vehicles but it could be a one time thing to get the skidsteer without becoming over extended. Even if you own something you may not get what it's worth in a down market and with a lease you'd be getting a new vehicle with a warranty.
"cattle are kind of like a combine" 🤣 yup, best thing I've heard today, pretty true if you think of it, just a very different type of chaff out of the back end 😊
My 18 Silverado had the same tires when I got it they were useless in snow definitely not suitable for winter in Canada lol I replaced them with BFG KO2’s I find them great
This fall I replaced my factory tires with the same thing, my gas milage went down but the BFG KO2 did excellent in snow and off road.
Good evening Ryan, thank you for the video, please why not put a little straw down so that the cows wouldn't slip on the frozen ground!! Because if there was a broken leg!!! It would sure be worse. 👍😎🇬🇧.
Nice looking cattle. Tame enough to work with. Nice video Ryan....
Nice docile animals, ice makes for a difficult day. My dad would have my hide for not wearing overshoes in the crap. Hah! Great plan for the year / more livestock to grow the program. Cheers!
👍 You did better than me! Wasted all day in the sale barn and went home with a empty trailer. I learned a lot by watching though. Maybe next time! Keep on keeping on! Love the videos.
3:00 Just a suggestion...I use cat litter instead of salt. Cat litter provides excellent traction. The issue I have with salt is that it simply burns its way south only to refreeze during the night which, turns into a highly polished surface the next day!
Nice animals
Those little metal tags are probably registration of Brucillosous (BANGS) Testing...
They are for tracking cattle. It is a nation wide system, every state has its own number. Every cow that goes through a sale barn gets one.
Put a rubber mat at the back of the trailer to keep the cows from slipping.
Ryan time for winter tires for the truck. :)
Hi Ryan great looking cows, congrats! Have you ever thought about building a suckler cow shed? Best wishes Jeremy
13:59. Fix that wall. Please. LOL
That’s pretty cool you can do that with a cow
its warming up in Cornell. our driveway is a pond right now
Lol cattle are kinda like a combine. Nice looking cattle
The red ones will do a better job then LOL
You need a spray on bed liner in that nice truck Ryan
We need to start a sand/salt barrel campaign for the HFW door yard🙂 We don't want anybody getting hurt! Nice animals BTW.
Nice job, Ryan. Are the new cows Angus purebred or crossbred?
You nade good choices on purchases looks like. Calm like you like them. Thought surely Travis would slip the red head in the trailer.
I was thinking the same thing
I always keep a bag of kitty litter in my vehicle during the winter for situations like the one you had slipping on ice in the truck. . It is a cheep way to get some traction in those situations.
Ryan now since you have a semi now all you need is a cattle trailer for the semi
I would like to see a finance video on cattle. My wife and I have talked about raising cattle in the future.
tire chains! I've owned my new-to-me pickup for eight days and I already mounted the chains twice. Cheapest insurance you can carry in your vehicle.
I think it’s time for spring because of oh no @2:14
Carry cat litter with you. Its cheaper. Can spread more and get better traction. Old truck i learned ontop of laying chains under the tires
This was a great video I didn't know you could use spice when you get stuck on ice that is a good tip to remember.
I dont know a lot about cattle but after this video it seems they dont like to walk on snow and ice.
It seemed like to me that the cow wasn't trying to escape I think the cows feet was sliding on the snow and ice I could be wrong though
I love the gmc
I can see what you are going to get next for your tractor lorry unit
I laughed when travis fell but at the same time I hope he was ok :)
They look nice Ryan. Saying hi from duluth, mn. Are you getting a lot of rain?
Nice head of cattle
Mom to the rescue lol. Do you have locking front and rear diff on your truck, Ryan?
