Managing 3,500 beef cattle per year is an impressive feat! It’s incredible to see the level of care, expertise, and efficiency required to run such a large-scale operation while maintaining quality and sustainability. Truly inspiring work!
A lot of producers put forth this extreme level of effort, only to have it flushed down the toilet by the processors. What I personally do, is organic dairy, as well as partnering with a larger 5000 head conventional dairy, which provides this type of genetics via embryo transfer, but I have to get them off my land by the time they hit 800-850 lbs, I start offloading them in batches, starting at 400 lbs, because my acreage is multi purpose. It does produce organic, no till row crops. Those heavy weights are too hard on the land. Most of my buyers are farmer feeders, and we do provide them a guaranteed buy back price once finished weights are achieved. If they want that, and we use the CBT / options market to hedge everybody, at every step of the process. This has been successful at keeping our processing throughput well above the minimum needed to be economically feasable.
They could pick up some easy gain and feed efficiency by grinding or rolling their corn. Looks to me that was whole corn in the feed bunk. Wet grinding the fruit culls would also prevent bunk sorting and likely improve gain. We have seen excellent results from feeding other fruit culls when finishing cattle
Holy crap 35 bucks a lb. for ribeye? Props to them if they can get it but I am never paying that for something I'm pooping out a few hours later.... I buy them about ten a lb and have my own dry ager.
Do you need to clean out the feed throughs 0ften. The feed they do not eat must go bad fast and rot in the bottom. Here in Florida cows get a lot of produce, tomatoes and oranges.
When you run and operation like this,,, You will ALWAYS want to cut and age your own BEEF. Never send to a BEER processor... They screw the producers at every turn with no KY Lube.
I am not a fan of the academic research of meat flavors. In my experience all of their research is funded by large agro-industrial companies such as cargill, tyson etc. Try 100% grass fed. I don't like corn fed, tastes like it has been pre-processed. Ditto for cornish cross broilers (chickens). Cornish can barely survive to normal maturity age (20 weeks). They will usually die of diabetes/heart attack conditions. Healthier critters create healthier meat. BOO academic "flavor" research. Their funding cannot be trusted.
I don't think you know what you're talking about. For the last 70yrs, I have had my share of grass fed and grain fed. Grain fed has always been a better cut of meat. (particularly fed a ration of rolled corn, cotton seed hulls, and ground milo, and molasses). I'm just saying!

Excellent programme. Kudos
What great video and good seeing people feeding food scraps to the cattle instead of going to the land fill🇳🇿
Regenerating energy from plants is such a great idea. LIKE... 👍
Thanks for visiting
Beautiful quality beef
As a youngster in West Virginia every farm had Martin boxes
You can't beat the taste!

I am an Arab looking for work as a shepherd on a cow farm. Are there job opportunities? I have experience in raising calves.

Гарно. Вітання з України
Yeah we grass feed our angus and dry age them for 21 days. Are you worried about pestisides in all that veg waste?

What kind of broilers do you like?
