Spring Schedule
Our schedule may very, but expect a new video every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday!
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.
Came here cause I was behind you at Starbucks in Dubuque and seen your sign on your truck 🤘🏼 my son will enjoy watching your videos as I will be showing him your channel!
Can’t go wrong with buying bulls from Sonne Farms. High quality Angus
I was going to say the same thing.
Yeah, lots of real nice claves dropping there recently.
But before getting another bull he should've culled out the cow they suspect that injured his other bull
@@jtschwinghammer they haven't figured out who the guilty cow is
Came here to post this!
I never regret subscribing to this channel !!
Never get tired of seeing that gmc truck sad to see ur g pops trailer go but at least ur not scraping it and ur extending its life good luck with the bull and finding another one
Sonne Farms in Mount Vernon, South Dakota.
When you were hooking the trailer up, rocket was looking at it like don't screw up Ryan. Hope you have good luck with these bulls
Two vids in a week?! What luxury!
At 17:08, it looks like that tarp above your truck is about to give birth to a huge mess in your shop
Great video maybe we will see one of Ryan going to get a bull out of state in his new trailer
Thanks again, Ryan. I'm looking so forward to all of you farmers on my favorite Farming video channels to start 2021's turning dirt!
When Travis opens the the trailer door and Rocket sees the bull, he's like, I'm outta here.
way outta here!
Can't wait to see the new trailer, this one has served you well but for as much cattle as you guys move its definitely time for an update. Nice bull you got there! May be more than you wanted to pay, but it certainly looks like you got your money's worth at the very least! Goodluck on finding a second one, I'd love to see a follow up on whatever you end up doing for a second. Thanks for the update Ryan! Great video as always!
Thanks for sharing Ryan 🚜🌽👍
I was waiting for county music singer John Michael Montgomery come out an sing Sold. 😂.

Hey Ryan thanks for the video, hope you have good luck with the bull he is really good looking. I hope you can find a second bull you really need another one.👍
Hi Ryan just a tip for you when you buy in new stock you should keep them away from the other stock for a couple of weeks just to make sure they are not not carrying any illness so they do not pass them on to any other stock
Real nice looking bull!!
Good luck with Your new bull Ryan, hopefully He will do the business:):)
Cool video,very interesting.
Good looking bull
Good luck with the bulls
Nice looking young bull
Nice looking bull. They are hot items. Just got a new bull (red angus) on Monday from a producer I've bought my last 4 from . I had picked him out in Dec. but with weather and conflicts I didn't get him until now. He said it's a good thing I picked him out then. He is out of animals with people calling from all over the state to please hold what he had left they take them sight unseen. Be careful out there we need you.
Your truck looks clean
Nice looking bull
Nice lookin bull u got. Hope u have good luck with him.
Cool video 😊
That is a nice looking, solid animal
That's pretty funny at the end there 😄 you should call that bull moto moto since you threw that song in there lol
good looking bull good video man
Nice bull.
Great video nice looking bull and you have plenty of time to find another one. Does your dad still have a bull for his herd?
I was at auction and didnt even realize you bought a bull. Pharo Cattle Company in Cheyenne Wells Colorado sells some awesome bulls.
We use to drive through a town that was so small by the time you realize you are in a town you see the resume speed sign. We use to call the town Resume Speed Arkansas.
Nice video and bull! Crazy how much they go for. Maybe just eat the old one?
woodhill farms up by viroqua,wisc usually have 2 or 300 certified angus bulls on hand for sale.check them out on the web.
great he seems to be a good looking bull
awsome video ryan farm anamals can be costly espesally cows there lots of money for sure i hope you get a second cow cause it will help you out alot for sure in the long run thumbs up and shared
Why are all the livestock auction Buildings the same. Yours there looks like the 3 I’ve been in here in Central Illinois
Good luck I hope the bull makes it through the season with all ball's going full in straight a head 😂
Cows that are great at kicking, that kick is often their first line of defense. Mark all the unbread cows. then with one of those long rods they used at auction try and come up behind and see which cow has that kick reaction. Grew up on a dairy farm, one cow we nicked named "kicker" she would let you have it as soon as she thought you were in range.
Need to head to Sonne Farms.
Hope this bull will be better than the last one👍😉
Ryan, "Sonne Farms"!
I would have him tested before you turn him out with your cows. I've had a new bull test bad right off the bat. It is cheap insurance.
@@johnhaas2523 doesn't matter. The places we buy bulls test them. There a few things that can happen from the time they test to when you turn out. The main problem is droplets on the sperm. An immature bull can have droplets and are chalked up to being immature and will shed them. If they don't shed them by 14 to 16 months, they never will. The droplets won't let the sperm enter the egg and fertilize it. Also they can loose mobility and can have sperm just plain die. We have gone through this before. It pays to test again. The bull should have a first season guarantee.
Looks like he has some nice length to him. At 30 mama cows, consider leasing a couple of bulls and going to a breeding season. There's a lot of advantages to it.
Someone is gonna get a nice trailer
Rocket loves rides
That's a nice bull ..I'm still saying for your second bull try a black Hereford or a black beef master bull or a sim/Angus or sim\bra composite composites composite bulls all listed above will hold up better then a Angus bull these days
I haven't been following along with what's been going on with the stock trailer, but if it has sentimental value, I'd recommend rebuilding it rather than replacing. That's my plan when I have a little more money. I had a professional fab and paint shop quote me about $4k to rebuild mine. Much, much cheaper than a new trailer; seems like they are pushing $15k now, which is nuts. Plus those steel trailers are so much heavier and tougher than the aluminum trailers that are built nowadays. They aren't built like they used to.
10:28 perfect sponsor view :)
Those bulls at that sale were quite impressive. I liked them. I'm not usually impressed by Angus as I'm like Santa Gertrudis and Hereford breeds .lately l have been liking really good Angus though.
If your open cows are open next year you might be dealing with Trich. Had a neighbor a few years ago that had a bull with Trich and he had like 250 cows out of 600 that were open. It was also concerning that your bull couldn't extend when the vet was testing it. 25 years raising cattle, never saw a bull get kicked trying to breed.
i just bough from a local farm a 4 year old red Angus with new born twin calves, her 2nd calving, i going to keep the bull as a bull to bread my black heifers. and a 3 year black Angus that should pop in the coming month, i hope longer as it dam cold here year and a few feet of snow yet, we lost a few feet up to a week ago, as it was above freezing for 2 weeks. cant go to any auctions here unless i want to pay for a hotel for 14 days before the auction, then lock my self to the farm for 14 day when i return, was the same last year too. no auction ever in Ont. have to travel WEST 6 hours to MB. this farm had a guy out in MB BUY 25 pg cows and had them shipped in, $1500 for the black and 2k for the red to add to my guys..
You should check out Sonne Farms . He is a youtuber also. Would bring in some new blood in your herd.
I would of picked the Entice Bull hahaha we have some of his calves here man they are nice.
Ironic this pops up. It’s 11pm in Nebraska right now. I just sold my old trailer on the phone and put my name on a rebuilt steel trailer and this pops up
2006 24’ feather lite steel
nice looking bull though , do you ever put rings in them ?
Have you bought or sold anything from equity in monroe
👍
Get a bull from mitchell's up by boscobel
Here's hoping you have better luck with this one. 3rd time is the charm...hopefully.
5 views, 21 likes is quite impressive!!
Have you considered using ABS to breed your cows. You can choose stems from very good bulls at a good price.
The other half of that is. Unless you set the cows up to all breed the same time roughly. You have e to be there to watch them to see when they are in heat and having all the farm work to do just makes sense to run bulls
At the moment here (UK) a lot of the markets are working a drop and go policy as they are trying to limit the numbers in. I'm not even sure if they had a breeding sale last year as they trying to limit the numbers to just buyers that are serious about bidding.
Last year there was a lot of talk that this year and last year the price would be terrible due to Brexit but lamb and cull ewe wise it has been up. Though the beef and store cattle side had been appalling but then it has been getting bad the last 5-10 years other than the occasional rise.
There may be pressure from governments deciding meat is not the way of the future, at least non naturally raised meats.
@@larrybe2900 We were stuck between a rock and a hard place one side put had a vocal vegan as there prospective DEFRA head on the other side we had a PM married to and friends with a vocal advocates for the reintroduction of apex predators and animals not seen in the country for between 200 and 2000 years.
17:00 minute mark... What's the plastic holding up over your GMC? 500 lbs. of melted snow? :-)
Only buy bulls from producers that are reputable, and do breeding soundness exams shortly before purchase. My supplier, a retired vet, tests all bulls he sells. He says it’s not uncommon for 10% of his bulls not pass and have to be culled. Most failed bulls would breed small herds, but don’t meet minimum standards. Before finding him I purchased a bull with defective sperm, no tails to swim. Bred 1 of 22 in herd.
Nice bull.is the old one going to fill your freezer or be sold yo be made into beef
I need a trailer
Steak, it's what's for dinner.
If it wouldn’t of been for the two Australian Shepherd’s I’d be dead right now
Did Sloan pay for the sign placement? 😂
If someone buys it will it be cleaned or is that an extra charge?
The way it happened it was 2 o’clock in the morning I had went out to check the cows and the water trough was over running and I was working on the water trough and he got it behind me and I didn’t know it and it was all over with
Does that bull have a little head, or is it an optical illusion? He seems spunky, but easy to work.
Those auctioneers are rip off artists . They tell you they have a bid for $3250 and want $3500 from you and then when you say no they say that you bought it for $3000 .
It can be frustrating but it also works both ways when you're sell they will try and get the best possible price some times it can be to raise it up to the reserve other times it may be the seller. We have had issues when selling fatstock where buyers collude not to bid against one another so we have bid on our own animals the worst case you bring them home which is better than letting them go for less than you're happy with. Likewise when buying like Ryan you've got to have a firm price in mind at what you're willing to pay. It will likely be different for different animals as you may be more willing to pay more for one than another but it is something to stick by along with your thoughts of an animal.
not really, you have to know there selling strategy they are there to make a buck or two.. you have to watch at pay attention, it hard to under stand them, but as long as you watch for hands
There's a saying here about buying a bull that goes :the day you buy is the day you sell.
Com'on Ryan, you got to spend money to make money!🤠 what percentage of non farmers do you think watch your videos?
Less than half. Most of my viewers are Farmers like myself
Non farmer here and I love to watch farming videos.
I'm a pseudo-farmer. I'm a maple producer in Upstate New York.
That guys good but goddam my heads battered
Ryan how it going buddy Melbourne Australia, ring fellow youtube sonnet farms, he’s got quality Angus pal
Who won the shirt giveaway from last first planting last year I might have missed it
Is there a significant cost difference for buying and feeding 2 bulls to do the job naturally or just having your cows artificially inceminated by a vet with purchased biological material from good breed stock?
I was wondering the same
Why dont u just ai urself. I dont know what its like in america but in ireland u can just take a couple day course and do it urself. Works well for us.
@@corkfarmer2035 What is the rough cost per cow to do that yourself? Are you willing to share that?
It varies enormously dpeending on bull and breed but the stuff u need to start it would be around 100 euros (excluding spetm straws and liquid nitrogen) but i make it worthwile by doing it on contract for bigger farmers in the area. It pays for itself with veriety also because if u have a cow that struggles to calf you can put her with a straw from a bull that is known to breed a smaller calf. And much higher rate of cows in calf, 100% pretty muvh every year. Sorry couldnt give a better cost but straws and liquid nitrogen vary wildly with the area that u live in.
Did they try to get you to raise your bid!?
How much for the trailer? I'm looking for one if the price is right.
