Gotta give a BIG THANKS to Gnuse mfg for sticking around till 1:00 on a Sat. so I could buy a new hoist and then taking my phone call on a Sunday with questions. Couldn’t have got it done without them! Family owned. Businesses are the best. Pride it shows.

Done✔️ 2 days we 540 tons of corn silage piled. Been a very good year, plenty of feed for winter!

The 3970 chopper is getting some much needed attention. New bearings and feed rolls. 💨💵🙄

Time to get lots cleaned out.

Waiting on parts… total feed roll rebuild.

Wet distillers makeshift bunker.

Day 18 19# per head TMR DM 66.6% diet

USA is back! 🇺🇸

Doing the deal

Walking pens on the first day of December. 27° hopefully the weather holds for a while longer.

Happy calves on Christmas Eve

Hauled 85 steers to Clarinda Livestock Auction with the help of my wife for the Jan. 2nd sale and then came home and picked out our replacement heifers. Ended up keeping 31 head.

🇺🇸😎

We got weights on all our bred heifers this afternoon, poured them, and separated off the ones that are AI’d. Feb. 5 due date just around the corner. 25 head avg. 1262 lbs Fun fact: 8 were out of 1st calf heifers. Their avg. weight was 1272lbs

Calving season has started. Heifer calf. #Beef

Now at 3. 28° and the sun is shining. Calving season rolls on.

I’m not exactly sure which one’s gonna set off PETERSON PERFORMANCE OCD first the rain caps or the green plow.🤣 but I’m gonna sit back and enjoy the results!

4 year degree is not for everyone. A young kid can put in a little work in high school, with the help of the A+ program and a few scholarships can come out of a two year trade program, debt free and making money day one. 

Got 230 ton of wheat silage chopped & bagged today.

Some February-born heifer calves are from first-calf heifers. The sires of the heifer calves in the videos are High Road, Proclamation, and Built Right.
