- Welcome to Twin Elm Farms! On this channel we show what its like to farm in southern Manitoba, Canada. The farm consists of Kendal, wife Lindsay their kids Hayley, Parker, Jaxon and Brock. Kendal's older brother Darryl, wife Heather, their kids Mackenzie, Dylan, Quin and Ryenne. With our right hand man Pieter. We have other part time help throughout the season, Arch (combine operator) Terry (field work) and Rob (cattle help). We crop corn, soybeans, wheat, oats and canola. We have a cow/calf operation of mostly Simmental and Shorthorn with some other breeds in the mix. Hope you enjoy our content, please subscribe, give it a thumbs up and love hearing comments.
Nice white shorthorn, glad the young ones are pitching in and learning. We have so few young people interested in staying on the farms and ranches
Good job Parker. Great to see you in there. Calves just keep dropping. What a great time of the year. Another harvest! Thanks for the video.
A “BIGGER HAMMER” always comes in handy 🤣💪💪😂😂
Love your videos ❤
Awe nice to see the kids out learning! When I was a kid on a farm in neepawa man area we were there for it all the births of calfs, piglets, colts, hatching chickens, castration, cutting horns off, plucking chickens, working in gardens, hated it at the time but i sure appreciate it now..
The yellow calf meconium?
Ya it's what happens when the calving takes to long
@@TwinElmFarms yep
Well done, guys. Great education and beautiful calves. Fantastic video.
Best way to teach the younger gen is to have them do it and you coaching from the side...learn to do by doing...the 4-H moto, good job.
You are a great patient teacher. It is obvious that Dylan has learned from both of you and retained from your examples. I imagine the rest of the families are doing so as well.
Dylan has the most patience out of all of us... not sure who he gets it from.
I'm a retired cattle veterinarian. For pulling the hips, you should try to turn the calf 90 degrees. That means interchanging the chains between the 2 youngsters and then pull.
Interesting, thank you. It's going to happen again, I'll give this a try.
@@TwinElmFarms Just ask your local vet.
those young guys sure seem to like to work! compliments to them!!
Exert teachable moment , you seem to both automatically build self esteem with your praise and tone. Again your kids benefit from the two of you. Well done pulling those calves today. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see the next generation learning.The new fences and calves look great!
Hi from Quebec, you guys are wonderful. Love your videos.😊
Thank you, glad you enjoy. The black dog (our neighbors dog) which is at our place and in some videos, her name is Daysie
@@TwinElmFarms hahaha 😂
It’s like giving away $300 everytime a heifer calf is born. 🤣👍. Bought some more bred cows today, gonna send my replacement heifers into the sale. I don’t like breeding and calving heifers anyway. Get a calf check quicker too!! 👍
Yep, if only we could have heifer calves that will be replacements.
great video again!!! and realy nice yellow bull
you say 'thats to bigg for a bull to keep, in my opinion'/
why is that? genetics for difficult labor?
High birth weight bulls tend to produce high birth weight calves, lower birth weight bulls tend to produce lower birth weight calves. Same with cows, but at least they tend to have the size themselves to birth large calves if they themselves are large.
What he said👆
Curiosity makes me ask this question: what happened to last year's calf shelters?
They are in the field where we are setting up 4 bigger pens where the calves will go once they are 2 weeks old. We bought 2 more
Do you prefer bull calves or heiffers?
Damn, that cow had a yearling. Does that lift sway in the wind when up all the way?
Lol it was a windy day and I thought i was behind the bin enough. Then a wind gust came and it didn't feel great up there
excellent job!!! A little Charolais showing up in the calf's ancestry?!?
White Shorthorn...
@@Garybob-e9q Ok...Thanks!!
Why plasma cut the opening? I would think a saw would do a more precise job. Am I wrong?
Cause it's easier to build the panel with full lengths and cut it out than to cut and build. You are right with the saw makes a way nicer cut though.
Hey what is the. measurement for the standup panels
30ft
How much did the white calf weigh?
I said it in this video, I believe it was 110
Um where's ur calf puller that took too long bud
Not far away, yep it was high time for that calf to get out.
Why you don't use gloves 🤮🤮
I use them if I need to go in far enough
