Ready or not, calving starts SOON! | Day in the life of a 28 year old farmer

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- In today's video, we are prepping for the start of calving season 2025, which is rapidly approaching. We need to scrape and clean cattle yards, haul manure, clean the barn out, refresh water fountains, sort the cows due to calve and more.
🔔 Subscribe to @thatfitagvocate for more updates on our farm and calving season journey starting soon. We're just about to get started! From calf birth to raising healthy cattle that become the beef and byproducts you use daily, we share every part of the farming experience, including the tough moments that come with it.
As a farmer's daughter, I’ll take you behind the scenes of what it’s like to be part of this journey and show you the entire journey and all the work that goes into raising and selling beef cattle. From calving season to weaning to shipping cattle to the packer -- you'll see it all throughout the year!
Stay tuned for a new VLOG coming soon! New videos are posted on Tuesday & Thursdays at 4 pm central time. Thanks for watching -- you're awesome!

I enjoyed your DNA sampling video on your heifers. After watching it, I ordered the kit, and did the DNA testing on my heifers. I wasn’t aware we could test commercial animals! My wife and I are cow calf producers. We have some registered Black Angus with the majority of our operation being commercial angus. We’re excited about seeing our results, as well as seeing your video on your heifers. Thanks for sharing.
That’s awesome! You’re gonna love having the data and I can’t wait to hear about it!

Welcome to the channel!
Do you put any lime down in the dirt pens or concrete pads? Gotta love "free" fertilizer lol. Good luck this calving season! My prediction is 12 sets of twins this season...hope they all make it!!
we have not used lime. Haven't had to, yet. There sure was plenty of fertilizer haha! 12?!?! goodness!
@thatfitagvocate thank you for always taking the time to answer
Chad said to say hay
Hiiii!
When you put the rolls of hay in the grinder why don’t you take off the wrap around the rolls, do you sell the cow poop for fertilizer?
I’ll talk about this more next time - but the bales are very tight wound, they go “poof” when unwrapped and the tub grinder catches a lot of the net wrap too.
5:57 where does green smoke comes from😅 and why?
it's hay dust from alfalfa!
How come you don't either run the tractor or the loader to help your dad out
do you think he would want to watch gates or move the cattle? lol
Chad told me to check your page out 🎉🎉🎉
Hey hey!
Hi there! was wondering why you don’t take strings off round bales when you grind them.🤷🏻♂️
It’s net wrap and if we do, the bales go “boom” usually and are really hard to pick up. The tub grinder catches a lot of the net wrap in the bottom too. Not perfect by any means
I notice when your dad was grinding the hay that he doesn't take the netting off. Won't that hurt the cattle if they eat it?
A lot of it is caught in the tub grinder, but generally no we haven’t had an issue. They have a reticulum that catches stuff like that too. It’s not ideal, but the bales don’t stay together to pick up if we take it off
Thanks for info.
Hi from Doss farm's
Hello there!
Is this current situation with no snow ❄️ on the ground? It looks like we headed to a dry season
Yep😅😅😅
I was wondering about the netting when you grind the hay. Does the nylon bother the cows ruman?
A lot of it is caught in the tub grinder, but generally no we have never had an issue. They have a reticulum (chamber of their stomach) that catches stuff like this. It’s not ideal but unwrapping the bales makes them go “poof” so it’s not really feasible either
Chad said to check you out
Hello!!
Do the net come off when u grinding the bales in the machine
Some of it yes
When you grind hay does the machine get rid of the wrap or did you take it off can't tell. Thanks I know nothing about this lol just curious!!!! I'm from Doss. Like watching you guys already thanks
Some of it is caught in the tub grinder. Some is in the ground hay. We can’t u wrap the bales because they go “poof”. It’s not ideal, but it’s what we have to work with right now
What do y'all do with all the cow manure
Natural fertilizer on our crop acres
❤❤❤
Will you explain why you grind hay?
It mixes into our TMR (total mixed ration) of feed easier and we can utilize a mix of hay + cornstalks for feed. It also makes it a little more palatable!
Chad and Rae send me to subscribe. Very interesting channel always like to help farmers big or small such a hard and rewarding job . I used to be a chef for 50 years and without farmers no food for us to cook ! Going through your videos. From sunny Scotland 🏴 😊
Hello! Thanks for saying hi! How awesome
