Nice looking bulls....Just love that some of the cows just came up to you and want attention .

Interesting and informative information about the bulls with no b.s.! Straight forward lecture like a school teacher. Who can be upset with those little darlings looking for some affection from you. Thanks for giving some attention.

well the first bull sure walked out with macho confidence...like here I am and I ready ladies...!!!! lol

I’m an old grandma but I have to say your dimples are adorable! I love how you teach with your videos. Not knowing anything about farming, I appreciate the education. Very interesting. Thank you.

ms. wilson , i would venture to say you could teach that young whipper-snapper a thing or two also !!

Wanted to give you props brother I’ve watched your channel for awhile now. Your work ethic is impressive. Keep up the good work! God bless

I enjoyed keeping Herefords as you say they are so calm. Good luck with their work.

Very informative, good luck with the bulls.

Another enjoyable and most informational video. Good looking bulls for youngsters. I hope they do the job for you.

So I just binged watched your entire channel in 3 days. Absolutely loved it all.

I love working in farm, love your channel. Thanking for showing and sharing brother

I have my first (unintentional) bottle calf and just wanted to thank you for your content! You've helped so much!!! Thank you!

Outdoor farm, great.

good looking boys there!!now get to work, get the calves started.

Looks like you’re on your way to a great spring.

LA300 is a poor choice for anything respiratory. Baytril or nuflor much better choice when caught early. Baytril mixed with draxxin works well for later stage pneumonia

You are correct. I have had really good luck with baytril and draxin in the past, just didn’t have any on hand.

Oh I sure hope the bulls do their job...We been getting swamped with rain here in Indiana..Some of the fields are underwater.. It's a mess 😭 Good Luck with your new bulls 👍

beautiful bull

good looking bulls. hope this time your heifers get pregnant

Good feeding

My father used Hereford bulls on Holstein heifers the calves were smaller than Holstein. 60lbs for a heavy one. Didn't have any paralyzed heifers because of huge Holstein calves. They came out white faced and black bodies, beautiful animals. Your young bulls look awesome. Happy farming.

How do you keep track on which bulls breed with which heifers when you are rotating 3 or 4 bulls?

I think they'll both do their job just fine ! 🐂🐃 Are there extra vitamins for the weaned calves you can give them ? So endearing how they go up to you to say hello. ✌ 👍

Yes all of the calves (and cows) get free choice loose mineral and most of the time a mineral block. So I don’t think the bottle calves that don’t look as good have a mineral deficiency.

What i was always told to put two bulls with same herd and they compete to breed and they get it done faster maybe a food for thought

Some people like doing that, but it seems as if we end up with more bull injuries that way. When there is only one cow in heat, they some times head butt the other bull when he is trying to mount and you end up with broken tools. Just my opinion of course, like I said, everyone has their own preferences!

Is there a video of what you do with there leavings (poop).

I have 7 bottle calves, they got scours. I cleared it up now it seems to be coming back. Is that normal? Do I just start the scour pills again

Wow

Enjoy seeing those calves and very nice bulls... y did you get 2 bulls instead of using one of the bulls from the bull pen!😳

The older Hereford bulls that were in the bull pen were put in with other groups of nature cows. We still aren’t sure what we will do with the angus bull yet.

How do you know when they are in heat?

good job brow....

Did you buy these bulls or rent them? Can you explain a little how many heifers or cows a yearling bull can breed compared to a two year old bull or older? Do you use younger bulls on heifers to increase breeding success or are smaller bulls the choice over older heavier bulls. Thanks.

@FarmandHammer

These bulls were purchased. They will replace a few of our older herd bulls in the next two years. The general rule is that a bull can breed one cow per month of age. So a 12 month old bull should be able to breed 12 cows and an 18 month old should be able to handle 18. The max is around 35-40 for a mature bull. If you have heifers we like to breed them to a bull that has really low birth weights to minimize calving difficulties. That age of the bull doesn’t matter as much as his EPDs (in my opinion).

You should have angus and lineback calves grow good jerseys not so much

How many rats do you have living above with the feed bins ??

You might check them for coccidia as well. This wet weather is hard on babies.

Super hereford. Poland

So just to clarify you go from milk, to milk and feed, to just feed? Or can you take it one step further and go from feed for a few weeks and then nothing but pasture?

I start out with just milk and 3 days in I add calf starter grain. Then after 8 weeks of grain and milk, they get weaned off of milk and are moved to just grain and grass.

yes..not as impressed with bull 2 ..but you never know..🍀

Hope I’m not mistaken but I think I remember you saying a couple videos ago that red doesn’t sell as well as black around you, so I’m a little confused as to why you got 2 Red Bull’s? Won’t they have a tendency to throw red ?

@FarmandHammer

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, I did say that. But in Herefords, the white face is dominant and the red hair color not as much. So when breeding them to homozygous dominant black heifers, the majority of the calves will be black baldies. If you breed a Hereford bull to black angus cows, the majority of them will come out black white face as well.

@FarmandHammer

The reason we don’t buy black Hereford bulls is because they do not have the muscling and build that normal Herefords do. Somehow a lot of muscling was lost when developing black Herefords.

look into getting the babies some minerals sometimes the moms dont get what they need when they are pregnant if it helps look into getting some to put out for the moms

Have you tried giving them(calves-especially poor do-ers)live culture yogurt in their feed? Often, we've found their gut microbiome isn't quite up to what it needs to be, and a simple tub of yogurt is a (very)cheap fix!

Very nice greting from indonesia

Hello sir . Do you sell dairy cows to Morocco

Poor little guys got to act big and tough because he is scared of the heifers.

Why do you separate the heifers from the other cows instead of letting all of them get pregnant together?

@FarmandHammer

4 жыл бұрын

Each bull has different birth weights. Our cows can handle giving birth to larger calves so we put different bulls in with them. For heifers, we want the smallest calf we can just to minimize any calving issues. Small birth weight calves don’t grow as fast and usually don’t grow as big which is another reason whey we don’t put heifer bulls in with cows. Hope that answered it!

@@FarmandHammer You certainly answered my question very well, and thank you very much! I had been wondering about this for quite a while after seeing the separation done on another KZread channel. I didn't want to ask the question then, because I didn't know whether the "channel manager" looked at comments/questions that weren't posted within days of the original channel post. Eventually I saw the separation again, but on another channel, so I asked why rancher separated the heifers from the cows. My disappointing response was merely that he wanted to mate the heifers with different bulls, as if someone asking the question I asked would already know why someone would want to do that. I asked why he wanted to use "special" bulls, and he did not answer. I kept waiting, and finally I saw one of your clips. I asked the question, and this time I received an intelligent response. Thank you again. I wish I could give you more than one thumbs-up.

I understand they're jersery calves but this year these calves will be the worst you've raised so far. I think you're better off selling them right now and not waste your time and money. I say this with a lot of respect
