Rarely, do you see sale barns going out of business because of lack of profitability. Everything is stacked against the small operators. Very educational video. Great job.
very informative, you did okay but I was wishing for more. Thanks for your honesty, hope you do better next time, love you mate .you did put a lot of work into those animals, stay safe and good luck next time. Hugs
Always enjoyed your videos. Hope to see more, but you have to make a living to. You're a good young man. Thank you for working, when a lot aren"t, although they maybe could. Wish you the best!
Isaac, I fully enjoyed this. The people saying to figure your labor are wrong. You only HAVE to figure out labor if that is a n expense that you are paying someone else to do. You made a profit each year so your experiment was a success. Also, if they want a fair cost analysis vs profit, you'd have to include your expenses for gopro's and profits received from TH-cam. Essentially, you were paid twice for your efforts. All in all, it's really difficult to put a price on something that made you feel pretty damned good, right? Phenomenal analysis overall and I would do this every year if I was in a position to be able to raise hogs and bottle calves. Thank you for being so honest about profit and expenses.
Regular hourly jobs have to account for vacation sick & holiday pay insurance etc. Years ago at a job everything was expended out for regular 40 hour weekly pay so it cost the company less per hour for time & a halve overtime. Of course cheap bosses never took this into account. At the phone comoany years ago while performing a 3 year switchover it was cheaper to have men work 57 hours a week ( 17 hours a week OT ) then to hire more help.
Awesome to hear you made money! Moving forward, beef cattle sounds like a good plan. Hope the sheep come through. Are you going to raise pigs again? Your car is cute hahaha stole the vlog when I first saw it’s shadow and you said the cat jumped on your lap hahaha.
Very informative video. At least you seem happy with what you were doing. You have a great attiude and seem pretty smart about what you do. Just wondering what kind of full time job you do.(Not too specific-I respect your privacy).
I’m going for my first two bottle calves this week. Hope I can save them. Is it generally a big risk? I’m going for a strong one even if it’s more- they are going 15$ each here….
Good video to start with sheep I wood section off five 1acre paddocks then start with 10 ewes and a ram then sell your ram lambs and runt and invest in more ewes and invest year ones money in buying 5-10 new ewes a year to go which your exiting ewes and home raised ewe lambs in 3-4 years you will have a mob of 50 ewes if you keep up this plan for first 3 years buy year 4 you should be able to keep all your profits and just focus on that years ewe lambs growing for replacement .also buy the best ram you can afford especially year 2 and 3 as you will have more ewes and it will be more crucial year one its not a huge deal but buy a good looking one that will complement your ewes ..
Super late to this video - we watch our calves sell in February of this year and they put "short" on one of our calves that weighed similar to the rest. Nothing wrong with him, they just said "short". We got ripped off, you most likely got ripped off. I later heard of it happening to a few other producers at the same barn. It is a bit unfortunate.
It all depends on your cost per lb of gain. With high corn prices you might be better off selling at a smaller weight and getting more $ per lb than selling at 600lbs. Cuz it may cost you more to get to 600lbs and you might not profit as much. You’ve got to do the math and check your local prices at the sale barn. Who knows, you might be better keeping them till 900lbs
I think that is great and awesome I’m so proud of you and wish we could be friends and be able to message you at least hopefully we can meet to sometime bud

THANK YOU very much for honestly sharing this info. It is really helpful for non-cattle ranchers to understand the process, the costs, etc.

This is a great video to help people understand how farming works. I appreciate all you do.
Thanks for taking me along for this year. I've enjoyed the vids.
Thanks for sharing your Income and expenses in raising Bottle Calves. The cat sure likes you and thanks for showing the end clip.
Enjoyed the video! Thanks for the honesty.

Great video. Thank you for sharing the profit & loss numbers, that information pulls the whole process together for us.

Thinking about bottle calfs soon
really beautiful video Isaac i love it
And I didn't hear any of the mileage for moving feed. Or the taxes? Thanks for all the work and sharing
Will you check why that calf was sold so low? Glad you made money, By the way, nice cat! Thanks for the video! 👍
Glad it was still worth it. Think you got ripped off with that one steer though. Good luck with your job. Keep making videos though.
What milk replacer are you using? We bought 9 40lb bags for 3 calves to weaning.
So how do I get one of those sweatshirts lol? My little farm startup (veggie) has suffered every imaginable setback
How long did you have these calves and how much grain were u feeding per day
10+
WHAT TYPE OF SALE DO YOU TAKE CROSSES TO BEER OR DAIRY
💯
I know people who would buy that sweatshirt; love ya; thank you
What u do for work if u don’t mind me asking
What breeds were most of these?
When did you wean them, how long did you have them?
I’m going for my first two bottle calves this week. Hope I can save them. Is it generally a big risk? I’m going for a strong one even if it’s more- they are going 15$ each here….
yay palpation nation! barn kitty there knows a GooD thing... nice work &i appreci'8 you tonZzz

joseph Melson, thats ewextatic plan
Will feeding them only hay or alfalfa give you a bigger profit even if you have to keep them a little longer?

Hello, I have a question. In how long did you make this money?
I need that hoodie. How do I acquire one?
I want one as well
Get into sheep already!!!
can you ship them to nicaragua central america ?
I'd like to know how old you sell calves. What Average Daily Gain do you get?
What’s generally the best weight to sell them at. Last year I did around 600 but I can see ur going much lower??
It all depends on your cost per lb of gain. With high corn prices you might be better off selling at a smaller weight and getting more $ per lb than selling at 600lbs.

You should do goats! Profitability is alot higher per acre
At the end of the video, there is a bird singing. Does anybody know what kind of bird that is?
What type of cow 🐄 did you have.
you should of waited until now to sell them why the price is better
Haha if u figured in your labor cost it would u would be in the red so fast some times.
The auctioneer sometimes I’ll screwed some people and help out some people
Wondering of that single was injured at the lot...
I think you got hit with how high corn/grain is selling. I see people selling off there beef because they can make more sell there corn.
and you have manure to thats fertilizer to figure in what you learnt education priceless whats all that worth
Beef cows make more money
U need get kiko meat goats
Joplin sale barn
I think that is great and awesome I’m so proud of you and wish we could be friends and be able to message you at least hopefully we can meet to sometime bud
