I love how Rocket just lays there not caring as you try to unhook the trailer lol
Such disconnect.. You treat dogs with such loves and baby cow like blah. Human the worst creatures of all.. I'm not a Peta person. I'm a Texan that Grew with all with Animals.
Ryan, you seem totally wore out or mind on something important, take care...
In the auctioneers defense, he didn't have much of a crowd, to really get warmed up to.
you have more followers than most football stadiums in united states hold !!! congratulations really enjoy your adventures.
The auction wasn't the best place to buy my calves, only 1 out of the three we bought survived. We gave them medicated milk replacer 2 times a day. Gave them their shot of vitamin D, but they came down with the scours. That's when everything turned around. And I lost everything I put towards them.
Your comment is a common one. Sale barns are tough for calves they pick up every bug there. The other thing is you don't know if the previous owner made sure they got colostrum. Without it in adequate quantities you can be sure of problems, Try to find a local farm that will sell them to you off the farm. Best of luck to you.
A wise farmer told me.. a hungry calf is a live calf. Two times a day is fine. any more will cause problems.
Scott Viers I appreciate it, I'm done with auction calves.
Josh Walman what did you do for them when they had scours? Lots of calves get scours including my bucket calf, I gave him a pill stuck it up his butt with a little too/ gadget. He was all better
Scott Viers hey mate, great comment you make. I hear some deny the calf ANY colostrum, as they use that for cooking certain foods, and obviously don't get colostrum all the time.
what shots you give your new calves from sales barn?
That was the worst auctineer I have ever heard
Zachary Saurini better than you
How do y'all split everything? (Work load, profit, etc.)
How do your calves do at the sale barn when they're ready to go for beef? I got 3 angus/holsein cross calves in April. Just curious what I can expect.
I wish the sales barns by me were that quiet, I might actually use them. There's always more than 100 people each time I head out that way.
Hey my Friend not many farming channels with no cussing in them or almost naked girls in them. Thank you!
How is rocket so calm?
Only been at that sale barn a few times!
Does Travis scare everyone off? Seems like there is barely anyone there in your videos
You just made a calf sandwich with hay as the buns
that a lot of cash for a dairy bull calf, I buy all I can get right from the farmer, the market is very poor for them as every one want grade A angus' beef, I pay any were from $0 to $100. no more then that, back in 2006 and 07 they were selling for $400 to $600 each, I would not buy any, I tried breading the heifers I got from them as the farmer don't want them if there born twins with a bull, do to they may not go into heat, but I get a hit an miss, witch is ok, they go into heat every 28 day and I will get a heat maybe 6 times a year witch when the price on them go high at least I can keep building, but the price have been at a great low for years now do to the market, many I get free
What’s a bottle calf?.
Judging by some of the prices I heard at the auction, I understand why Travis has been hesitant to buy bottle calves. I guess I'll see you and them in a few months.
Great vid
Great video and lovely calves
I know this is a lot of work shooting and editing. And U tube has cut $. But, I'm learning so much following your farms and what is mostly a mystery how food get to my table. And the equipment! Thank you Ryan et all for feeding, showing/teaching me and giving me conversation material to share my with my neighbors and friends.

don't chain the calfs
Jrod Dillard The fuck? Why? That's like saying "Don't leash your dogs".
Bottle calves. Man does that bring back some very old memories. They like to killed us every time they saw us with the bottles!
lol
Hey Ryan, are Holstein the predominant breed in your neck of the woods?
Ever think about cutting back the weeds around the area where you park the trailer? Or, spraying them with Roundup
I know what it's like feeding a bottle calf but I don't understand how you can buy all bottle calfs? Do you not breed them at some point?
Gotta come and see what Rocket is up to. He's such a good boy...... all chilled out in the truck. I think he needs to ride shotgun with you guys.
My grandparents live a couple towns away from you its called Cassville.
Why didn't you guys take your truck today
Hey Ryan, are you going to the Farm Science Reveiw?
HillJack FSR in ohio?
Isaac Leeds yep
I should start raising bottle calves.
what town was the salebarn in because I live in wauzeka and I'm a farmer
How farms work
You should get a few carts for the hay and baleage the saw dust
Ryan why buy bottle calves? Cheaper?
can travis grow side burns?
i think Ryan wears that shirt every video lol
Love the dogs. I have never seen the buyers side at a cow sale.
great video me and my dad are going to buy cattle on saturday
unless
I know should ask Travis but do u guys do a follow up vaccination with bovine shield?
yes
You dont give pmh once nasel and no Bose
I thought u didn't do dairy any more
They don't, these are boys ;) Which are useless to dairy farmers, so they sell them so others can raise them for beef (=meat).
They look tasty already. Yum.
Rocket Looks Hot an Tired and bored
thanks for explaining me the auction
Wtf? 125 dollars?
What is the breed of the dog
I love this video, please keep making videos
Hi I live in Burlington Wisconsin

What shots are needed?
What do you do with these holsteins? Do they also go tho slaughter when they are old enough or are you guys planning on milking them in a few years. (sorry for bad englisch that's becouse i'm dutch)
Happy to feature this video on /r/animalindustry
i'll bet you'll edit though.
What breed is Rocket? Very impressed with how well he listens to you. Thanks for a glimpse of your lives.
Charles Clemens golden retriever
Thanks, beautiful dog and so well behaved.
Going high
I want one
Are you ever going to use your other TH-cam account?
+Brendan Yoda Probably not, this one keeps me busy enough as it is.

Really dumb selling baby calves by the pound. Everybody has to keep guessing, "now how much would I be paying for that calf?" at the current bid.
How would you sell them?
Sell them by the head like you would sell a piece of merchandise that way people know how much they are giving as the auctioneer is selling the animal. It's up to you how you want to sell em but that is certainly the way I would do it. Maybe everybody else is smarter than me and can figure it in their heads but that's the way I would sell baby calves at least by the head.
Andrew Yoder Then you’re not factoring in weight, which plays a big role in calf health and age of the animal
Factor that in with your eyes when you 're bidding on it and you at least know instantly what You 're paying for it. You can sell em how you want. That's up to you. Just giving my opinion.
Andrew Yoder That’s usually how person to person transactions go. We aim for calves around 100# anyway, so whatever the bid is usually what the cost of the calf is
Why didn't you use your truck
Didn't see the point for a load of calves that aren't even mine.
Are you going to record the farm day ?
Dalton Reed I have my own channel called Working on Farms and I got permission to record while at the farm day.
ok thanks
do you have any Ayrshire calves? I have a small herd so I was wondering.
Were we live it's 2000$ per calf
Early squad
Love how you treat your animals. Looking forward to meeting you all too
What part of short chaining babys to a pole do you LOVE ?
Pretty rocket it stoned out of his mind every day all day
Where is your ice cooler to put that vaccine in????????? Sign on my vets refrig. door says, Don't open door till you know what product you want, so the cold temp doesn't raise in the refridge. I use Baytril too. You need to put them in another building or another farm, if you think that will prevent a disease spread, by just separate space stall.
love this video
Poor calves just rip away from there mums !!
The mothers really don’t care like humans do. I know they try to humanize cattle on TH-cam videos, but they don’t care for their calves like humans.
Are you telling me that mother cows don't care about there babies!? Wtf!! They do time and time again you see mother's cows screaming for the babies when dairy farmers take them away. And the moo for days for there babies. So THEY DO CARE!!
karra naomi Certainly not like humans do. Of course they call for their calves. What they never tell you in any videos about cattle is that they simply act like their calf never existed after a short period of separation. Heck, I took a calf out of her pen yesterday and the mom called once then walked away.
Wrong! I have seen what really happens. Seen the cruelty what goes on. So don't say mother cows don't care.
karra naomi Of course they care. But not like humans do. It’s really funny the lack of context you see just about everywhere on it. People want farmers to leave the calves alone, but don’t care if that means the mother kills her calf every other year.
Their cute wonder if there going to be on my McDonalds quarter pounder in a couple years
csx68 fs15 I've seen you before on YT

Can I have a shoutout I'm a huge fan
Shoving and chaining a cow up is called animal abuse or cruelty. Love your channel but you ruined my day
more like nudging them along, I don't think animal abusers would bother petting them after they get them to go where they need to go , as far as chaining them up for vaccination im guessing it's so the animal doesn't freak out and hurt itself.
How Farms Work I am sorry for the loss of your Mother dying from Alzheimer's. But why is that so sad to lose your Mother? All of these animals never even see their Mothers! And it's a known fact that eating meat and dairy causes Alzheimer's/Dementia, cardiovascular disease, cancer. ....My mother and father were huge meat eaters. My father died of a abdominal aneurysm and a very weak heart and my mother died the same year in 2015 of Alzheimer's. However, when my parents started me on meats, I would chew and chew and run to the washroom to spit the meat out. I just had this profound knowledge of animal cruelty....There is so much clinical data to support my claims. Meat is full of chemicals, bad fats and a plant based diet is the most healthy! When you say you lost your Mother, please think of the countless animals that are stolen from their Mothers at birth every second of every day! There is NO Difference! A mother loves his/her own child more than herself! And by raping her, impregnating her, she is hurt and cries each time she is forced to produce an offspring......smh, smh in disgust!!!
Animals Are Our Angels did you seriously just say that. Yeah I get it animal cruelty is bad. But you’re a piece of shit for comparing his mother to a COW!
That is so crazy when people compare animals to humans!!! I'm very kind to my animals but my animals are not anywhere close the value as a human being in my eyes or in Gods eyes!!!
Animals Are Our Angels WTF? How fucking dare you make a statement like that! That's bad, even from a vegan standpoint! (or maybe not!) I swear, I'll never understand why you lot do this kind of thing!
A M hey there, yeah, totally agree with you there. That one was BAD, even for a vegan. Sure must be a piece of shit alright!!!
that wrong u know as well
