Regarding your pastures. In Scotland we have a saying. If its not broken then don’t fix it 😊 enjoying your vids, Jon. The wife is called Karen? My regards to the fine lady
@CraigyFarm thanks. All the way from Scotland thanks for being here. How are things over there? The cows are her full time job. Every day move them to a new paddock, inspect everyone for health..
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 Things are cold here, we did not really have a summer. In fact, I would say last winter didn't end :) I shouldn't complain, I opened my eyes this morning to another day of life :)
@@CraigyFarm ha yep. You woke up this morning Having this conversation with a couple other guys that the news will tell you for the year we're at close to average tell you how many growing units were behind
You heard about the young bull and the old bull laying on the hill overlooking a nice group of cows. Young bull says to old bull, "Hey pops, let's run down the hill and breed one of those cows." Old bull looks at young bull and says, "No son, let's walk down and breed them all." My compliments on a fine herd of cows. To me there is more to working with livestock than just understanding basic animal husbandry. There is an important piece of having understanding of and for the animals in your charge. Its a sign of a good stockman when you can walk amongst your livestock and not have them move out of fear but move when you ask them to. Last fall my neighbor had a dozen market weight black Angus steers get out. Those things were wild animals. It took five of us on horseback along with dogs to drive them out in the open to rope them. We were in the saddle 9 hours and covered about 30 miles. Those things wanted no part of humanity.
@chrisbertrand3989 ha! USDA doesn't know Mn has agriculture north of I 90. Never seen so many seconds. If they actually become something that could really bump yield.
@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 rocks and cows, seeing the same thing here in the good areas low ground was hurt pretty bad this spring wettest may/june on record, split N seemed to help it recover better than neighbors fall anhydrous
The cows are just looking drop dead gorgeous
@@AlextheDutchDairyfarmer thank you very much
As always, another great one
Does your bull have the proper equipment implemented? I wasn't seeing any "Wide Load" or "Long Load" signs anywhere....
That's the Gentlest Angus Bull ever filmed on Video. Especially a Black......

@@danw6014a thinking joke!
Thanks.
Wild animals don't work.
You have nice cows Jon. I'd seriously consider one of your calves as a bull. Orchard grass can make beautiful fall pasture.
@@farawayfarm2520 let us get testing done. Then we know what we are selling.
Great video.
How big is your herd, Jon?
@@CraigyFarm we have around 30 ladies for breeding
Stop showing all those 2nd ears its going to drive the price lower !!
