• 
  @birchfieldfarming2 күн бұрын

  Mostly fescue, some orchard grass, white and red clover, lots of chicory, some dandelion and burdock where there’s compaction. My recommendation is to let whatever is in your seed bank come up naturally and mow or graze it…it’ll only get better!

  You could probably just use that well to help water the fields. If youre dead set on using it to water livestock, the root system for the plants are not going to reach the 100' below the ground to filter anything. You would need to build a surface pond, and pump into the surface pond from the well, then stock the pond with plenty of nitrogen eating plans to filter it out for you.

  So all you need to do to sell the beef by the pound is a usda inspection? Or do you also need a permit?

• 
  @birchfieldfarming2 күн бұрын

  So I was comparing selling quarters and halves vs selling by the lb. It’s illegal to have a beef processed without USDA inspection and sell by the lb. Beyond that, permits and such all depends on state and local regs.

He might have serviced 25 to 50 heifers a year. After we switched to tail painting for heat detection, we got rid of the cleanup bull and any heifer that did not breed in 3 or 4 services. Now with 80 mostly Angus females, they used a sexed ai straw once and then they were put with the 2 Angus bulls after 10 to 14 days.

  Hi Jason, interesting video about processing Mr. Big for meat. You mentioned that it would be better to not keep him so long because of cost and meat quality reduction but doing that he would be at a lot less weight than the 1260 pounds. I like the nice packaging job done by the processor and the 1 lb packages of Ground Beef. It makes it nice for resale and even if customers want just a small amount you have the nice and compact 1 lb packages. When that other Bull came around it was interesting watching Mr. Big's eyes when he heard the other Bull Fussing. Did Sam film the cutting of the hay with the Drone? The views you can get from the drone of cutting a field of Hay and seeing the nice rows and the lush Green fresh cutting is really amazing. Was that Alfalfa, it sure looked like it? Nice way to end the video with you all enjoying some fresh Hamburgers with your freshly processed Bull.

•

  Thanks for watching, Ben! Yeah, again I think that ideal weight and time is about 1100 lbs and finishing off in that 28 to 32 month timeframe. Yes, Sam got the drone shots of hayfield and no that field is actually grass hay with some volunteer clover. It’s good stuff!

  Thanks for the video, how long do the cattles stay in each part before moving them to another one. And how long the grass needs to grow before next rotation. thanks

• 
  @birchfieldfarming6 күн бұрын

  Great questions. Cattle stay for 1 day on each 1/4 acre paddock, but this can vary. Typically grass grows twice as fast in May/June as it does in Aug/Sept, so we have to adjust accordingly. I think one of the best approaches is to figure out how much dry matter forage you have (based on grass height), and figure you need about 3% dry matter forage per animal unit (1000 lbs). Now, don’t take it all or you’ll struggle with regrowth. In hot and dry times, I like to take half leave half. In wetter, better times I’ll be a bit more aggressive. Hope this gives you a starting point!
