@mbacowboy I have before, calves will do great once you get the goat to accept them. 1 goat is plenty to raise a calf if she’s from a milking herd and provide some grain for both. Getting one that’s broke to a stanchion is a big plus. Beef breeds will take 2-3 per calf and harder to train
So let me get this straight. You work your tail off raising a product that’s actually good enough to market farm to table, you spend every last dime you have on marketing, you add the infrastructure to cool and ship your product, and @BeefCheckoff demands you pay them?
It’s theft
@laurafarms_ Whoever makes the first pass gets their preference and the spouse gets to deal with it. It’ll even out if your in separate fields I think😂
@vacas_negras Personally I think they’re a cheap chute, but that’s just my opinion. From my experience the neck holders seem to wear out fast and getting a good squeeze is hard. Also the brake for the neck hangs more than it should under pressure and you have to give it a good jerk to open
@dsilvey417 @DustinD1234 Local barn called a reg angus cow a jersey and docked her for a long toe. 17 year old cow with a hell of a life but worth more than that
I’m looking for an owner operator to pull this trailer. Run mostly Midwest, some east and west coast as well, hauling cattle only. Home weekly. DM for more details. RT’s appreciated.
