I don’t think your crazy at all. Many points here
1) easy calving for heifers
2) increase in consumption of grass only fed beef
3) price of grain going through the roof
4) diversity of your herd is a good idea
I wish you the best of luck with it. Keep us posted on how things go
Makes sense to me. Seems like you have a good head on your shoulders.
He is a sturdy and handsome fella.
Crazy... Like a fox! Lowlines were specifically bred for grass fed performance. You are ahead of the curve.
We bought lowlines when starting out with beef cattle. We chose them because they are more feed-efficient, easier to handle, and you can put more cows per acre. From what I’ve read, if you run the numbers for pounds of (finished) beef per acre, you get more from the lowlines, and with less wear and tear on your pasture. Those calves are born small, but vigorous and grow quick.
Smaller Angus and Hereford cattle were the norm for years when I was growing up and then everybody seemed to want bigger cattle, bigger is not neccesarily better. If I had a place I would go with the smaller cattle.
soy beans were new & different decades ago too! Much success!
Greetings from Ohio! Enjoyed the video and the music was perfect.... No doubt you'll catch some flack for embracing change...stick to your goals.
New bull is a fine looking fellah and the dear heifers will appreciate the easier calving.....Thanks for sharing your journey with us...
Well now, he looks like a playful new pal to have around. I’m sure, like you, he will enjoy his new home. It’s not the size of beast, it’s the proficiency and efficiency in the results.
I commend you for taking a longterm view and thinking through your options to make it happen. I'm betting that you are right and will do well.
I don't think you are crazy - I think you are very smart! I wish you the best!
Best logic. That’s pretty much what we do in the dairy business for our heifers. We mix with a smaller beef breed and kill two birds.. we get some decent freezer stock and we don’t risk busting a heifer
Definitely justify. Greg Judy advocates smaller cows, bulls. Less money on feed and like you said you can have more cows per acre.
I think you have a good strategy. Good video.
Smart move. Shows u have a vision for what will happen in the market place
Good luck with the new bull. He looks real good nice lines
Great decision, your one smart guys always thinking ahead, Hope this works out for you, your always ahead of the game. Loves you man, wishing you all the best in your new breed. He is so beautiful, Take care hugs.
I'm using an aberdeen bull and I get offers to buy him all the time. We've had some nice calves come out of our Charbray-Angus cross heifers. I recently sold a registered hereford bull for 2k, when the buyer came to pick him up he was practically begging to buy my aberdeen instead. Good luck with yours, they really arent that small. They dont explode in size/growth till about the 2 year mark and get their bull features. The neck on mine has just recently exploded giving him a nice full look.
Good to hear! Yeah I’m hoping he starts to fill out the rest of the way this year.
Good job. It's all about pounds per acre, not pounds per cow. Good luck on your journey.
yup, you are on the right track of thinking,, dont pay no attention to all them nay-sayers,, smaller cows will bring you more profit in the long run then those giant cows will,, keep your chin up ,, once people know you have those grass genetic cows you will have sales for seed stock as well as beef/ meat
Do your thing! Crazy =profitable.
GO For it!!
Good move. And for what it is worth. I think he's a gorgeous smaller bull.
Fantastic breed great temperament
Nice content. Thanks for the sharing your insight.
Good for you. Thank you for sharing,
Agree with you on getting your cow size down and I am a big fan of making life easier on the heifers. Grass-fed is going to grow but don’t see the feedlots going away. Best wishes with your bull! Hope the sellers back him for you.
I don’t see feedlots going away any time soon. But I can see the majority of beef in stores being grass fed in 30 years.
You should do a video on how you mix your milk formula for bottle calves
Brilliant idea and some one who on top of his game. By making the move..
Good luck from the UK
What a handsome hunk! And so calm. Spectacularly chunky too. :-) Brilliant way to safely get calves out of your heifers.
Ive been looking into buying dexters for the same reason nothing wrong with grass feed beef.
Handsome little black bull. He will do fine... all good.
It makes enough sense to me(non-farmer in SE WI) that I subscribed even though this is the only video of yours that I've watched. TH-cam algorithms for the win this time....
You are very wise, farming is changing. Grass fed less intensive , it works. Aberdeen Angus breed are excellent choice , they are easy to fatten on a grass fed diet . I have worked that way for many years , till I retired. Environmental friendly and easy to handle excellent choice. 🏴🇬🇧
Awesome video ...nice bull.
My family wants to have a farm and I just found your channel. I have learned a lot from your videos.
That is awesome!
Well sir, he is a beauty. And being great for heifers is really good. But, he is a beauty in confirmation in my estimation. Good job.
Hope The Bull does well for you. You might try dumping vinegar down their top line on the cattle that you add to your herd. That works well for us when adding new cattle to our herd. Thank you for sharing.
We have a low-line dexterable and he throws Calves roughly the same size and a regular Dexter at weaning.
I have a couple of low line Angus cows (Ko Angus Australia genetics) and now have a KO Angus bull. Have found them to generally produce a smaller calf at birth but they hit their 400kg - 450kg slaughter weight at around the 18 month to 2 year mark generally depends on if it's a drought year or not and in our area in Australia they do generally fetch close to the top sale prices mainly due to perceived quality of the meat ( Angus Australia has marketed the breeds well). Not true about being able to birth a breached calf have had to pull all the ones we've had (2 this year). But generally they make fairly easy cows to keep just handle them regularly.
I see what your doing 😏, that lowline is going to produce the perfect grass feed beef. Lowlines are awesome ruminate sire's.
Smart decision I think 👍👍🤠
A fine looking bull, good luck with him
Your crazy like a fox! Good video. Thanks
I like how u exam all angles before u make a business decision
Small cattle is how they make cheeseburger sliders...
haha
I watched heaps of farming shows. Yours is by far my favourite 😍
I’m from NZ and we have the new bull you bought ! Breeds strong, meaty steers , so good job, you 👍 Looks like you have some Hereford mix with your red/white face calves🤔
Thank you!!!
Great looking bull and a good plan. If he passes the grass fed meat built on, you should do great.
We have one. Good bull throws some pretty calves.
My aunt somehow owned two Angus bulls, she called them 'Black Gold' back in the late 60's.
Came for the bull, stayed for the nut drop!
Good luck with that
so really beautiful video i love it
Good luck. I'm a Grass fed believer .
Idk, we had a bunch of guys with lowlines about 10 years back. Not one is so in business. Small calves are great for calving ease but are also more likely to die if harsh weather hits so plan on calving later. There are plenty of angus sires out there that are producing 60-70lb calves on average.
Good idea. Check out Pharo Cattle Company on the efficiencies of smaller framed cattle. I think you’re on the right track. You’re a good thinker on all you do. Best of luck, from another SW MO cattleman.
I’ve been looking at Pharos bulls and a bunch of Kits keynote talks. I’d love to get some of his bulls but they are out of my price range. I actually know the guy that pastures the Missouri Pharo bulls every year. They have some dandies!
I know they are high but perhaps later on. You’re on the right track with smaller frame animals. Greg Judy has the same concept with senepol. There is a registered Low Line Angus breeder in Republic MO. His name is Mark Ramsey. He also owns Ramsey Excavation. You will get it figured out.
He is nice looking bull.
He is beautiful. I thought that is what he was when I saw him :)
Whoa ... that's a mighty fine looking bull ...love angus good luck with him hope he like girls
He looks good
FACTS GREAT
You should look into the fly predator treatment they use for the horses on Makinac Island. You have a very serious fly problem there, that can be taken care of.
Excellent breed
Maybe put a bunch of swallow birdhouse. Should help with the fly load around the cattle.
Seems like a good idea in regards to the bull. I agree with your mindset
We actually have about 80 built but they are not up yet. I think we are a little late to get them put up this year but for sure by next year!
@@FarmandHammer ain’t it what they say. Best time to do something was yesterday!
I have no ideas if it’s too late in your area. But seems like a good ideas none the less.
My friend had that breed over 10 years ago. Quite expensive as I remember.He eventually sold all and moved away. He just moved to Texas
His heifers are gonna be the keeping kind, moderate, fertile, I think you’ll like what type of cows his heifers turn out to be
Angus meat is lovely eating.
Yep I guessed lowline
Good move
I just bought 2 baby bull calfs last night and I have been asking my self if I'm crazy all day today 🙃 my first time buying or being hands on with a cow. My nerves are a train wreck right now.
Nice
Grass fed grass finished is what I would buy for sure. Smart thinking.
I think your on the right track. I'm 74 and all my life I would take wild over beef any day, that being said it was because they fed brose not chemical grain.
I think it’s an interesting choice. One that I have personally been mulling for years. For me it’s more cows per acre and not really the future of grass fed beef I’m worried about. I look forward to seeing the performance of your herd and using that to choose my next bull in a few years.
He's handsome. Cool
Math is on your side, good plan!
Way to choose a bull. Wouldn't have minded less tire change footage though..
All cattle have there place. The only thing I could foresee is a buyers may dock them for being different. That’s why they aren’t popular out here in the short grass. But with your program and proper marketing you should be successful
Idk about a rare breed, maybe for Missouri. And “Aberdeen” even the lowlines are still from the Scotland blood. They’ve been small until they came to the United States and mix breeding and all the other stuff started creating over 1500 pound animals and taller than 44 inches.
bull bought a new human as well
I run full blood - 50% Aberdeen bulls as well as PCC bulls. I run them on full size cows and corrientes. They make short stout calves that weigh up decently.
how do the corriente cross calves do at the salebarn?
@@storminnormanz I sell direct to a feed yard. At the sale barn I had a random group of 250-350# calves bring 550/HD. Not terrible for being mixed heifers and bulls, some miss fit solid colors, couple char cross, and a couple spotted.
@@stkcattleandhay not bad, I've wanted to get some corriente cows to add to my herd and let my angus bull breed them. I figured they'd only bring 75 cents a pound or something
@@storminnormanz Cull Cows bring 50/cwt. That one hurts.
I suggest buying open heifers and give them 6-9mo to settle into your program before breeding or buy pairs so you can confirm that the cow is a producer and has a good bag.
I bred some 30 days after getting them and they did not sync up very well
One of my favorite breeds low line agus
Angus
Are you planning on going with some southpolls??
great to see not all farmers/ranchers/cattle guys are just doing the same old as their grandpa` did for years and years !!
Gregg Judy and "just a few acres farm" with his Dexter cattle - both I`m sure will surely get very excited watching your initiative/progress with a
smaller more efficient breed raised and finished on grass - especially Gregg Judy has been preaching and practicing exactly "the more cows per acre theory"
Gregg Judy has amazed an exceptional fine looking herd on his farms - he might even be way understocked as he run now with 400+ head on 2000+ acres.
For you it`s sure progress from status quo - the entire cattle industry NEED to change and get away from from miles of cornfed cattle in huge dirty polluting smelly feedlots
and farmers NEED to produce food for human consumption and not acres and acres of irrigated corn for animal consumption in confined spaces....
My dad was always slightly ahead of the curve. He was rotationally grazing (moving about every 3 days) in the 80s and has always practiced the more cows per acre theory. He always had smaller framed cattle than anyone around and just said they seemed more efficient. Now that he is slowing down with farming, I’m just trying to take things one step further. His 1100 pound cows have slowly turned into 1150-1200lb cows over the last 15 years so I figured I’d try to bring it back down to 1,100. And I think we need a few more acres to get a better acre to cow ratio so we can graze longer. Though I don’t really plan on finishing a bunch of steers on grass, it might help to have the genetics in case a good market for them opens up. We’ve never grained the cows but I don’t know that we have the grass Finishing genetics for calves. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
They used to be called belt high in Scotland where they originated. Tastiest meat. They used to say that they will thrive on poorer grassland. I hope grass fed beef becomes the norm in the US, it will be a far better carbon foot print as well as healthier meat. It was the US farmers who started the feed lots and intensive feeding, push push pushing the livestock to finish earlier. Meat should also be a privilege, not a right to pig out on, then we just might be a bit healthier. I was brought up on food rationing, it was rare to see a fat person then.
For grass fed beef to be the norm,you need a lot more harvest FACILITIES an bigger barns to hold them.Northern states dont have year round grazing.
@@michaelcorning4857 neither do we in the UK, but we conserve grass for winter feed. Mainly silage, haylage and hay. Still meat from grass.
Yeah well, they always were pretty backwards over there and needed us to bail em out more than once. If you know Jesus, you'll come home to a new planet paradise after the tribulation. If you don't, you'll get to go through the tribulation and never see the new earth. Not fun. Get to know Him today!!
@@JohnVanRuiten nothing to do with being backward sir! We were grateful for the help America gave us in two world wars, but I have to say when America sneezes we catch cold. We now have an obesity problem brought on by American big business ethics.I am guessing you have no idea how serious the state of the planet is. A far bigger threat to human civilisation than wars. In my long lifetime, I have seen drastic changes, so much so that I fear for the future of my grandchildren and am aware that in spite of all the difficulties, I have lived in the best of times.
Changing the tire tho 😩
Hope it works out for you. For far too long the big meat Packers have dictated what is an acceptable breed. This needs to stop. Quality of product is what matters most.
i will tell you half my cows are small the other half medium to large, 9 times out of 10 the small cows wean bigger calves than the large ones. its all about the milk production i think
So he’s five eights Lowline Angus. What is the other three eights? I noticed that he has scurs.
Are you thinking about putting them in the Flint Hills beef program at the processing facility north of Springfield? If you don't know about you should check it out.
Is that the new beef processor in Pleasant Hope Mo?
@@FarmandHammer yes it is I know they have a program for grass fed and finished cattle
Whole market going grass fed…so many don’t do grass fed correct… and I’ll take a corn finished steak any day over grass fed!
I’d agree that corn finished tastes better (my personal preference) but grass fed can taste very comparable if finished correctly and cooked correctly.
My Dad and Brother-in-law run lowline and they love them. They require less feed over the winter because they are smaller. And their wean weights are comparable to standard angus. And as far as i know, a full blood lowline bull should mature around 1200-1500lbs. And cows are around 900-1100. They milk hard and grow good calves on only grass. Good luck with your new bull, they are wonderful heifer bulls.
Thank you! I’m excited to see how the half blood calves will do!
What are you gonna do about all the flies on him?
If your spare is dry rotted don’t you need two new tires?
Yes, I bought 2 new tires!
What is the other 3/8 of the Bull, Jersey?
Nope…just regular angus.
Small Angus was bred so the bodies of beef could hang on the ships decks for export.
Not Aberdeen Angus. Lowline are Lowline...they are excellent carcass animals that are easy fleshing. Super grass cattle.
The new breed association calls them “Aberdeen angus” now. Even though I think the original angus were technically called that. I’ll probably always call them lowline as that’s what I grew up knowing them as. And I’m hoping so!
Smart move , smaller weaned black calfs bring more money. Plus keeping back the heifers you'll start building a grass Finnish herd.
i am SO grateFuLL you have a doubLe axeL on that traiLer &the ²nd wheel held... gr8 wisdom onYouR pLan & truthFuLLy i'd much ratherSee an angus lowline on your heifers rather than your neighbors dexter! *grin keepUp theGr8 work &itHinK theWorLd ofYou iDoiDo!
sorry, what's so rare about angus?
Know you have a New low line Angus bull l would Sell all your other Cows and go and buy Some lowline Augus Cows too go with your new bull really. And See if you could buy 20 to 30 cows . You try and buy them Where you bought your bull from and See if you Could get a deal tho . When buying your new Cows really. You have a really good bull tho nice and clam too .
Cows per acre, yes it's true
