Connor,
Really enjoy your videos, Im 28 and am utilizing the family land as a my hobby farm here in NE North Dakota. I got 13 feeder black angus. I want to hear your input on my problem, which is getting better but I want to hear your 2 cents. So when I got them home I let them out onto my first 45 Acre pasture and they just tore off and went to the far side, and upon trying to approach them that night to check in, at about 200 feet away they tore off again and went through my electric 2 wire. 2nd day was the exact same story! 3rd day I called my neighbor (one I bought from) and said this isnt going good, whats the fix?? . So we put in 2 cow/calf pairs. And now day 8, almost all of them are coming up into the yard and respond pretty damn good to a feed bucket. but still room for improvement. So, You had your new ones corralled up for 20 minutes then let them out to the rest. Is that something I should do next year with the new herd is have them corralled so they cant run as I introduce my self and get them familiar with the feed bucket? Or will I just have to keep borrowing some ones momma? or maybe yo have your own way to deal with a roudy bunch??...Sorry for the lengthy one but thats my situation, appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Your not alone with this problem, with this set of heifers I knew they were calmer so I wasn't to worried about them taking off however with our custom grazing cattle it is a totally different situation. with them they spend hours in the corral before they turn out into grass, and when I finally do turn them out to grass they go in a 3-5 acre pen with 4 wire high tensile all the way around them. they don't even know what grass is when they come off the trailer so there is a huge learning curve for them. after about 2-3 weeks they get calmer and learn the whole grazing thing but its a long 2 weeks. They will get used to the electric fence quickly but calming down just takes time. I also sometimes will put some of my mature cows in with the custom grazing cattle for a little while that way I at least have a few leaders in the group when I start with the paddock moving.

They mostly get resold as bred heifers
I dunno about out there but up here in pa just for bottle calfves for red Angus and black Angus it's 800-2000 just for bottle calves at auctions everybody's buying because there's a cattle illness going around and the state or somethings thinking about shutting down out of state hauls to stop the spread its showing up more in dairy breeds then beef breeds but it can show up in beef breeds which sucks cause the auctions have to have a vet check all the cattle at the auctions for this illness. And we are a Angus and Brahma farm in pa.
Bo Ruach Elohim!
Why you don’t talk about the buying process??
Do you resell the heifers as bred heifers or just keep them to add to your cow calf herd?
Most of these will be sold again as breds
