Just found your channel. I think I have went back and watched almost every video! Great videos. Middle & West TN cow-calf guy here. Keep up the good work, and stay safe this winter!
@ my wife is from far northwest TN. Not far from the Mississippi river. We run cows there with my father in law. We live where I was raised, about 50 miles east of Nashville. My time spent in west TN has really made me value Missouri cattle country.
I like the way you used your chute door to load. I have a heavy panel with a wheel on the bottom that swings out. Now after watching your video I have an alternative with my arrowquip. Be safe!
I'm curious as to why you sell off only the calves versus raising them to full growth and then to market as mature cows. As always, thanks for taking us along.
@@douglasburch2320 I’m not set up, facility wise, to keep them to maturity. One needs separate pens and pastures to prevent them from being bred too young. This system seems to work best for me.
Generally speaking about cows.. you get rid of all the heifers and bulls. In other words you’re not trying to get bigger, you’re trying to stay the same size❤ eventually aren’t you worried about the older cow’s dying ❤and if you’re not keeping back fresh heifers ❤your heard will get smaller ❤you got some pretty good red angus cows❤
@@briangrammer898I think you sort of answered your own question. He sells feeder (or stocker) calves that another operation will bring closer to, or all the way to finish weight. No one willingly lets old cows die on their property. You’ll start noticing signs as they get older or just whenever they become less desirable: Like not breeding back, arthritic hips and feet, poor body condition, frequent fence jumpers, etc. Those cows get culled, probably yearly or as needed, one or two at a time. Jerry would have to respond to you about how he replaces cull cows. Or maybe as he ages, he will purge his herd slowly.
@@cancermonkey7334hello! Are you the one who asked Jerry how I film this? It was a long time ago you asked, but we couldn’t remember who it was that asked. If you are, I do all the filming with iPhone 15 pro and all the editing with a free app for my iphone called iMovie.
Seems a shame to send all those heifers to the stockyard. You could most likely sale them straight off your farm to an individual for replacements for a premium (especially with your genetics) and still have them picked up on day yall sort. Always better to be a price maker than a price taker at the barn…

@@Evan.Davenport Thanks again-Comments from fellow cattlemen are more appreciated!

I hope there are young men and women interested in learning the skills from these cowboys. I am certain it isn't easy to train horses either.
@@rmiller8000 I share your hope!
❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ really like the cows❤
@@briangrammer898 Thanks! Everything’s better with some cows in it!
@@JERRYCROWNOVER red angus? Where did the black angus with white Hereford face come from
@@briangrammer898 They are older ones, left over from when I had mostly black cows.
Thank you, appreciate you sharing

I have done that several times over the past few years. The opportunity just didn't present itself this year. Thanks for watching!
I assume it makes more money to sell unweaned calves.
@@arnoldjohnson3317 I’ve done it both ways and it’s a wash for me, either way.
