Thanks Trinity your videos never disappoint. This country has never been about equality of outcome but always about equality of opportunity. Successful people fail until they don't. Failure is proof you tried something.
I'm jumping up and down. THIS IS HOW RANCHING SHOULD BE DONE💯❤ ‼️ My first beef husbandry class in college. I knew you have to embrace the business side too. Thank you for showing a successful ways for it to be done in the future. We need more families to step up, buy the ranches before they become residents and bring back the beef industry to and for the public ❤Beautiful, just beautiful 😍
My grandparents farms were shut down in the early 80s. They sold directly to their customers before the internet. It’s such a wonderful thing to see folks making a comeback with American small farming.
Selling direct must be the new thing in Ranching. Just spent some time in Wyoming and noticed so many ranches selling meat direct. I was searching all over for a market that sold Wyoming beef and I couldn’t find one outside of the ranches selling direct. Seems like a good business model though. I wish more ranchers/farmers would do that. As a chef and a family man it’s nice to see exactly where your food is coming from. Even nicer to support your neighbors instead of big markets. Not to mention it keeps product from leaving this country. It would be nice to see Americans eating beef raised by Americans.
I have been starting a ranch from scratch and I can definitely say not having other family members who do it the same old way generationally has been a blessing. In the beginning of my farm journey, I was jealous of my friends that inherited a farm or grew up on a farm. I have many friends who want to transition things and it is just so complicated to convince fathers or uncles to change from the old ways.
When your a farmer or rancher you don’t do it to get rich. It’s in your blood. I used to farm until I was crushed in an atv wreck. I was rounding up my cattle and a sink hole opened up the night before during a storm. My atv fell through and landed up on top of me. I’m in a power wheelchair now. I miss not farming
Spot on. Change is extremely difficult to do with the prior generations. It’s similar to working with having a Commanding General with a different mindset but the same ultimate goal for the farm.
My wife and I want to get into ranching and use my VA benefits!! It would be awesome to join other veterans in the industry and we can lean on each other! It would be cool to have a seminar with other veterans and learn the necessary steps and how to navigate the VA to make things easier and to get mote veterans on board!!! We have the work ethic that is needed for this line of work!!!!
Love the channel man. Love all the people that is still out there that love America and live the ranching/ farming lifestyle. I think it would be a good conversation between you and Joel Salitin at polyface farm in -Virginia. I know y’all are from two different backgrounds but I think it would be a good convo.
My dream is to convert the cow/calf operation to direct marketing and sale to our local community as well as diversify to include other meats, honey, maple syrup, as well as excess produce from the garden. Premium products at prices that are more affordable for our neighbors. As said by others, nobody gets into farming to be rich. It’s the love for the land, animals, and fellow humans.
Growing up I was told oh you can't do that. My reply was Hide and watch. I've always been able to do what I set my mind to. Take the word can't out of your vocabulary, because can't never done anything in it's life... Gday
Honey in the store has gone downhill. Less variety, higher prices and lots of foreign honey that may be adulterated. Try and get USA honey, especially the traceable stuff. I got 60+ pounds of honey in the preps. I've used honey that was 12 - 13 years old. It got darker, but still good. They say honey lasts indefinitely. Don't know about that, but never had an issue with honey other than crystallization. I use old honey in baking. Don't keep honey too cold or it crystallizes. I'm working on getting honey preps to 100+ pounds. But no garbage honey. Google it, lots of adulterated honey being sold as well as adulterated olive oil. Good olive oil should solidify in the fridge. Adulterated olive oil does not solidify fully in the fridge.
Teeth are shot. Only meat I can chew are small ground bison meatballs, small lamb meatballs and ground turkey in soft meatloaf. Ground beef is a little tough for me. Can't eat ground turkey breast, too tough. The meatballs work best if in soups or stews to soften up. The other problem with box store beef is the gov made a law that says foreign beef can be labeled USA as long as it is packed in the USA. I don't want to eat foreign beef. Bison is mainly from the USA or Canada and the lamb I get is labeled 'born, raised and harvested' in the USA. And lamb and bison are grass fed more than commercial beef that is not grass fed.
selling direct once weaned i move my calfs to a seperate farm so my home farm with my breeding stock stays at home and i move those calfs out to save grass
Question trinity, the white on your hat, what is the cause and how do you get it off? I have a Beaver hat that has this and I have no idea how to get it off
@LifeintheWest use dry corn meal. You'll be amazed. Work about a tsp at a time in small circles with your fingers. It will lift all the dirt, sweat, oil etc right up. Just brush off with a soft brush. Please try it.
Buy local, buy American.. yes it's more expensive but worth it.. go to restaurants that are local, farm to table.. so you don't go to McDonald's everyday.. go to your local hamburger stand.. taste the difference.. make a difference.. if "You" don't, who will?
The only farmers and ranchers that are going to survive lost grain demand being filled by other countries. Is to regenerative grass grazing, finish and process for direct retail and wholesale resturants and grocery stores.
Hi I’m really trying to get in to cowboying and I have no experience with it how do I get started and how do I find someone who is willing to train me and teach me the ropes and what can I learn on my own to help get my foot in the door
Really depends on which part of Montana. Blue Grama grass, crested wheat, timothy, Brome, and several others. What’s dominant in one area is not in another.
I get adds for grass fed, grass finished beef on my instagram account and some have been from Montana ranchers. I wonder if I have gotten adds from this company since his wife is on instagram. We have a rancher here in Kansas that we buy locker beef from that raises grass fed, grass finished beef. This rancher comes to a farmers market every other Saturday in Wichita and also sells beef in a health food store. He has been doing this more than 20 years and has a lot of repeat customers
It takes a person doing promotion/marketing to create demand and having the beef sold before it's processed. The issue with this is coming up with a hanging weight price that is mutually agreed upon.
Hey Trinity hit me up I’m interested in starting a farm stand co-op. I would be willing to provide the property and do something like your video and Colorado.I in the great Falls area
Love me my Border Collies you go boys hard work will pay off wish I had done my life years ago but I'll enjoy even if I go broke doing what I love feeding and cring for my livestock and horses..sma beef herd and a few corriente
Bull, you can't do that with a hundred head and you can't hold them forever either. Imports are killing the American ranchers business, foreigners own the big USDA slaughter houses and I quit ranching, I was losing too much money.
Hey man I the light that you have bringing to this darkness. I would like to let you know that I have not been getting push notifications despite being a subscriber to your TH-cam channel. If you don't have a Rumble account then I highly recommend making one and uploading on that platform as well. God bless patriot!
Try to buy grass fed farm meat but at 9.00 @ lbs. I just can’t afford an so good Beef isn’t on table very OFTEN an EAT ALOT OF EGGS AN SALAD,FRUIT MAKE is affordable
WAYGU beef is becoming the top meat besides ANGUS beef! If he had customers in Japan or Korea, he wouldn’t have enough meat to sell them! And they will pay top dollar for the meat! ❤
1st generation ranch buying out 3 ranches and stocking their ranch with 1200 hd of cattle from the get go! Trinity this video is so against what you are promoting and a slap in the face to real Montana ranchers who have been busting their ass their WHOLE life living off this land. Good on them for selling beef! That’s great! But don’t come at us with their 1st generation bull shit! It’s called BIG MONEY. How many hoodies did they have to sell to make enough money to buy 1200 cows their first year of ranching? And please humor us all where they process 5 semi loads of feeder steers at once in the state of Montana?
youre claiming local raised montana beef, website says from uruguay...?????? what the what????? come on trinity.....if you click on ribeye, then choose grass fed finished, see where it's from, just sayin
When I went to the web link to check out the beef offerings, it's not all Mt. Beef from what it looks like, it says some beef is from out of country or state, did you look at beef prices etc? Where it's from? It's what I saw, love what you are doing though bro, getting the truth out.
Only problem with cattle raised in MT, is that their are more cattle than people and it is not the best state for cattle. I really do not care much about the location, I care how they were raised and processed. If it is a cow from the Rockies or a cow from Appalachia processed the same way and the price is the same. I will buy the cow from Appalachia every time, knowing they walk up and down hills all day and are eating grass that is taller than they are with wild clover that is a foot tall, along with all kinds other veggies that are in the fields. In the real world, Fuel should be a real thing. So we should be buying local if they are both processed the same. Life sure will be nice when Ranchers and Farmers are no longer living in tax payers pockets. This will bring back local and quality products. This will take the $$ out of the hands of the guys that do not care if they sell you rotten meat and slim. This said, The massive factory processers must be removed from the tax payers pocket at the same time or even first. They are the biggest part of the problem. I don't know about Y'all, But it sure would be nice seeing the locals making some money in the nation I live in and not people that live in other nations. Half of the hate Americans anyhow. No wonder most the food is poison now days.
At the end of the day they are all the same. Those smaller ranches would do the same if the were one of the big 4. They are just mad they can’t get in how they want. 😂
Thanks Trinity your videos never disappoint. This country has never been about equality of outcome but always about equality of opportunity. Successful people fail until they don't. Failure is proof you tried something.
Amen to that! Great sentiment.
I'm jumping up and down. THIS IS HOW RANCHING SHOULD BE DONE💯❤ ‼️

We need more families to step up, buy the ranches before they become residents and bring back the beef industry to and for the public ❤Beautiful, just beautiful 😍
It needs to be in peoples hands, just for the desease outbreaks but for our health. Beef its whats for dinner❤
My grandparents farms were shut down in the early 80s. They sold directly to their customers before the internet. It’s such a wonderful thing to see folks making a comeback with American small farming.
I’ve been raising my own pasture raised laying hens for a year and I love it

Thank you Trinity for opening up my eyes ~ greatly appreciate your videos . Fact & honesty !
Take care
You are very welcome. Thank you for sharing.

Great information. and I want to thank him for his service.

So work on the business side with a cowboy that has to direct his efforts to the animals. You still can with the help of your people.
Very sorry to hear about your accidents. No matter what anyone says ,God still heals,harts, minds, and body's
Spot on. Change is extremely difficult to do with the prior generations. It’s similar to working with having a Commanding General with a different mindset but the same ultimate goal for the farm.
This is awesome for people
My wife and I want to get into ranching and use my VA benefits!! It would be awesome to join other veterans in the industry and we can lean on each other! It would be cool to have a seminar with other veterans and learn the necessary steps and how to navigate the VA to make things easier and to get mote veterans on board!!! We have the work ethic that is needed for this line of work!!!!
Another GREAT VIDEO!!!
Thank you! 😊
Eating crickets is for fish and birds and Democrats.Thank you for all the info .
Y’all keep it going love it ranch ing is hard and rough but full filling from the heart
I now by most of my meat local. Having a little trouble with obtaining my pork(bacon) local.
Love the channel man. Love all the people that is still out there that love America and live the ranching/ farming lifestyle. I think it would be a good conversation between you and Joel Salitin at polyface farm in -Virginia. I know y’all are from two different backgrounds but I think it would be a good convo.
Certainly worth exploring.
So much truth was just told! Love that video ! Sending up prayers for the success of that ranch!
My dream is to convert the cow/calf operation to direct marketing and sale to our local community as well as diversify to include other meats, honey, maple syrup, as well as excess produce from the garden. Premium products at prices that are more affordable for our neighbors.

This guy is brillant, good work trinity.
This is awesome & fascinating !! Thank you. I fully support local farming/ranching.

Outstanding!
Thanks so much for sharing this ongoing success story!
Keep up the great work. Yes everybody needs to but local BEEF. Thank you for doing this.
You got to think outside the box sometimes. This was great.

Look for beekeeping associations. Buy local. We get honey from a local producer. Raw, unfiltered.
I am impressed that they have been able to develop a retail market consistently that is no small feat
Boys, they're coming even for this humble dream
Yes they are
Teeth are shot. Only meat I can chew are small ground bison meatballs, small lamb meatballs and ground turkey in soft meatloaf. Ground beef is a little tough for me.

selling direct once weaned i move my calfs to a seperate farm so my home farm with my breeding stock stays at home and i move those calfs out to save grass
Great back seat dog..
I love this channel!! You are doing an incredible job of simplifying this for folks like myself
Thank you Trinity for the great video. Keep up the good work.
I wonder if they would be interested in doing regenerative ranching.
Bought some apparel.
One rancher to another. Keep up the great work!
Hey the next time you see him tell him I thank him for his service I'm retired military myself
Question trinity, the white on your hat, what is the cause and how do you get it off? I have a Beaver hat that has this and I have no idea how to get it off
That is horse sweat. I I can’t get it off either. It is time for this hat to take the long road in the sky. 😄
@LifeintheWest use dry corn meal. You'll be amazed. Work about a tsp at a time in small circles with your fingers. It will lift all the dirt, sweat, oil etc right up. Just brush off with a soft brush. Please try it.

It's only more expensive in the short-term but in the long term is way more expensive to not buy American
You’re doing good stuff. Thanks

Great, informative video! Great mindset!👍🤗
TRINITY, WHAT'S THE DOMINANT GRASS SPECIES ON THE MONTANA RANGELAND?
Really depends on which part of Montana. Blue Grama grass, crested wheat, timothy, Brome, and several others. What’s dominant in one area is not in another.
I have an online
Meat business and I was wondering if there is a way I can distribute these Ranchers meat
I get adds for grass fed, grass finished beef on my instagram account and some have been from Montana ranchers. I wonder if I have gotten adds from this company since his wife is on instagram.

We need generational ranchers!
You put out great videos ❤

Great video ❤
that is one hell of a moustache
Hi Trinity ❤ how do I get beef from you please?
I found your products page!
Hey what is the name of this ranch
I don’t think you should be telling a X Navy Seal you can’t do something!
I agree!! 😁
GOD BLESS YOU
Hey Trinity hit me up I’m interested in starting a farm stand co-op. I would be willing to provide the property and do something like your video and Colorado.I in the great Falls area
COSTS ARE HIGH FOR A REASON. SO YOU GOT TO ASK PEOPLE, WHO YOU VOTING FOR IN NOVEMBER?
I tried to join but was not able to. I am canadian and I thought maybe that was why.
Hey Don Shipley bro......
Curious Trinity why you don't ride a mule vs a horse.
I hear mules are less prone to sickness and safer.
My family had government come and take our ranch away no reason no accountability
Love me my Border Collies you go boys hard work will pay off wish I had done my life years ago but I'll enjoy even if I go broke doing what I love feeding and cring for my livestock and horses..sma beef herd and a few corriente

Buy from your local farmer/rancher. I am an ardent capitalist, but I can't stand unfair business practices.

lol what have you ever heard of monopolies troll.
@@j.jacobson let's debate if you can convey yourself respectfully and keep it on topic.
Great video
Y'all need a Producer owned Beef Processing System owned by Cow /Calf Producers,Cattle Feeders ......
