Matt, I really enjoy your videos, your humor and your cowboy poetry. But there is one thing I caught in this video that concerns me a little! You called that Holstein cow "purty"!! I figure you just fell for them big brown eyes and long lashes!😂😂😂
Any thoughts or plans to sell some beef direct to consumer to keep more $$$$ for yourselves. After Cari retires from teaching, she could be in charge of a website to sell meat & you could have a building with lots of freezer’s. You also could take beef to processor &customers could buy beef by 1/4, 1/2, or whole &pay you direct plus they pay processor
Big dairies are contracted right with the packers and weekly they have cattle trailers picking them up and shipping them straight to Green Bay or long prairie mn
In New Zealand we send the culls to the freezing works, ( to be killed) then we get paid on the dead weight Or if we sell at the yards, they will be bought by works buyers, on live weight, but they work together the buyers from different companies, and rip us off, it should be illegal, but apparently it isnt
The prices are insane, and sorry to say, but price higher by almost double in 6 years, can not continue. The consumers are not getting the increase in wages anywhere near that.
Bad cows are just that Bad cows a they need to go 👍A Matt bought several cows last year to replace culls .. Heifers are a long wait to get a calf to sale a They can have trouble calving and some will just turn out bad …
Matt, another great video of a rancher’s life in this ever changing world!

Couple of those cows will sure pay for an upgraded baler. 🤣👍🍻. Good thing prices are up, everything else is too.
Sassypants really likes your hot bolt Matt!😂😂😂

I forgot about those places where you leave your stuff, and no one will take it.

did you get a new mustache or just a darker one?
Use the jb weld
Almost every one of the calves slipped coming off the truck

It will drop it goes in cycles once it gets super high it will go super low.

Why don't you keep your heifers to breed from
