How Farms Work is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
Lol the look on rocket face is priceless lol

Rocket at the beginning,"Oh my better hide" I love Rocket!
Good to know I am not the only one that calls his cows name in a high pitch voice. 😁
I thought that was Ryan's natural pitch and he deepens it for the other videos and parts 😁
Johnny Essick my 4-h steers hate it so much I gave up on doing that lol.

You should go see our Wyoming life from youtube
Seen it.
hi ryan i am from ireland and would love you to come over to see how we farm over here.
Too bad you couldn't go east. You could show me how to harvest rocks?
I definitely want to make it out East sometime.

Always great videos, keep up with the great work!!
What is your plans with fritzsie, and for the heifers bottle calves you buy where do they go , are they sold for beef or as future milking cows?
Like the video Ryan and love Rocket and the Brown calve to , Lovely little blond in the Barn .
i didnt see no blood, were you dreaming.. lol
Glad you are buying Holstein calves helps the dairy farmer.
Are the Golden Retriever herd dogs. Have you ever used Border Collies
you’ve done a breakdown on your profit from crops could you make a video comparing your “profit” between raising bottle calves vs cow calf pairs. like all in costs for both of them. Would be much appreciated!
nice looking calves,, thats a lot and in USD per calf here i been getting them for free to to 30, $40CND, i dont like paying a lot as these calve are born to die, any little sickness and the just dont respond to any treatment, and i dont get them from any action as i would have to drive 6 to 12 hours one way, i get most of mine from one dairy farmer as he calving year round, i do get some from 2 other places but i never mix in the same barn, have 7 going for freezer camp to families and shelters in need in Nov, or Dec, as there 18 months old now, same as all my turkeys and meat birds, i just pick some up Monday and next day they had the shits from all my many years doing this i have come to be leave, this is all from all the stress they under go, first being taken from mom, then moved around the farm from barn to barn then me driving them home a 20 min trip, as it seems most all have the shit when i get them and i buy calf lite II by the case to have on hand for treating this, and it seem each one take a pack 2 times a day for 4 or 6 days and that crap not cheep
Were harvesting in Montana right now garbanzo beans and spring wheat.

I have just come across your videos, like yourself always patching up a fence usually on the neighbours side, or tagging calves.... I’m In Australia, i buy in Holsteins at 50kg for roughly $30 AUD, over a 3 -4 month period i’ll buy in 10 a week and then sell them to a feedlot at 12 weeks who exports them to the USA at 15 months. I wean at roughly 6 weeks of age once they are eating 3kg of high protein calf pellets a day, by 12 weeks they are average weight of 120kg.
In the first 8 weeks , between MEDS n milk , a good guess of a investment do you have -the calf cost ?
well for me i can count on 2 bags of milk replacer 20kg per calf at $76 cnd a bag, and a $100 cnd in meds, shots, de-horning cream, tags, as long as it dont keep getting sick, i dont have any bottle costs as i have never used them, it is faster to spend a short time with them showing how to eat from a pail and in 2 to 33 days there off on there own
The calves you bought look great! They look even better when they are cheap 😂
That’s so nasty why do you lock them up because I have pigs I don’t lock them up and there always outside let them out side .see your cow died no wounded because there I. That silly place because they want to be out side
The question is Who does Fritzy love more? You or Jamie?
Check with Greg Judy Missouri and look at how hes bought 6 farms raising multiple species and regenerating soil. If Monsanto now Bayer glycophaste lawsuits shut down Roundup, it's a proven option to consider and be prepared for the upcoming changes, not to mention if grain prices continue down the drain. Have a safe trip and bring back a red Angus bull calf for your older brother that has genetics for pasture grazing disease resistance. He would be a hell of an interesting upload and is a great guy that saw the light on grain farming. Safe journey.
Wheat harvesting further west as part of your round robin trip following the fair at Boone, IA.
At around the 6 minute mark were you guys talking about farming simulator 19? if so LOL... hope to see some gameplay on one of your channels see how you guys would run a farm when you have infinite money and no laws to work with.
Eating enough water-Ryan Kuster 2018 lol great to see more calves coming into the farm.
Nice to see the barn filling up again. I realize from watching your videos that there's always an element of risk. "Farming is legalized gambling" --Travis. If that's the case, is Fritzie your Ace of Spades?
Road Trip!!! Ryan be extra careful editing that footage, LOL. Have a great time.
In the beginning of the video, rocket "yea that's a little to close for comfort".
Ryan, I'd be a little concerned once you get back with the enthusiasm your little fellow will have to see you. He isn't getting any smaller. BTW, ............are cows tongue kisses sloppy wet? :)
Hahaha this statement is very true. This morning she was all panicked in the barnyard waiting for me.
Typically not their tongues feel like sandpaper licking you
try having a limo heifer thats a year old and every time i go down to all them in from the field they all come running for there share of the grain, but this heifer she will eat for a little wile well i am feeding the turkeys layers and meat birds and as i walk up the hill this heifer comes up behind me and grabs my shirt tail and sucks and chews on it as i walk up the hill, holding me back off and on, she has a good hold, its like an invisible lead rope every day
not when they are young calves, very smooth in fact
First
Love your videos keep up the good work
N'🦁
Rocket looks bored at the sales barn and so does Travis. Good luck with the show
Ur vids r the best. I check UA-cam all the time to see if u have posted. I’m also following u on snap
Around my area bull calves are going for 20 30 bucks

Hi
Hey!
is for horses
YOU need to video on just Rocket. It seems like he goes everywhere with you. A day in the Life of a Farm Dog. Rocket seems to dodge all the Farm equipment and getting into the tractor with you is heart warming to me. Reminds me of my dog Aspen, that dog would do anything me. Sure miss her.
Hot farm girl at bout 4:40....No not the bovine variety
T sirevi kako se prave
88 hours in a rental car driving around no hotel room. Please get a hotel at least once per day and at very least a take a shower.
Why dump the straw on top of the calf and when you guys were loading them you pick up the white on and just dump it on the trailer
I’m in south west nebraska. Would be happy to have you stop by. Some neighbors will probably be chopping forage sorghum could probably go watch that
You should get in contact with Welker farms out of Montana. They also have a popular UA-cam series and are currently harvesting.
Very very good
Enjoyable video!! Day well spent 😀
Number of the girl at the auction plz?!?!?!hehe jk
What was the powder you spread out around the calves? TIA
Is fritzy of pet or just for meat?
If she is a pet would she be apart of your breeding stock?
Looks like good straw, what crop is it from? Straw is hella expensive in the UK right now
bring a tent , many of the small towns in Neb have free or cheap camping in their parks or fairgrounds. strange that calf prices are now back to a normal level.
Have a good trip.. You will be just up the road for FP.. Thanks for the vids!
If you come out to utah we are starting spring wheat harvest on my farm.
Hey Ryan. Your should come down to south west Missouri. We are in planting season in our mid size dairy farm. Would love to have you for a visit
On the way back you should come up for my farm in Greenville Wisconsin.
Welker farms is harvesting spring wheat in Montanna right now.
Those are good looking calves. Looks like one of them wants to follow you. Maybe another pet lol
if you have no necessary this calf. then give me those calf in bd
Love seeing your baby doing so well and listing to you. Love Rocket also! Hope you will do more video on both.
the joys of teaching Rocket how to bid.
Why do you chain your calves into the shed ?
So they don’t spread disease
How Farms Work I see because I know here in the uk we put our calves in small pens rather than I big shed
this just shows if you put some time and effort in a cow ore a calf in this case they can realy become your best friend I saw somebody in school who had a cow who came running to the gate when ever he called for her it was amazing to see the bond they had.
Can you make video to see what you are making on them
Kj
They have been harvesting seed corn up by Boone, they started a few days ago
i must say wisconsin sure does have some very beautiful women
Have u ever been to the farm science thing that is in london ohio
Love your channel it’s awesome I love all the farm work!
I always enjoy watching videos about the calves
More Fritzy videos! Fun seeing them grow up
Taking the calf out for a walk.
Awesome video as always gotta love baby calves and Rocket
If you want you can come out to Southeast Iowa see a turkey farm
Rocket looks like he or she would like to be someplace else
I'm just a Hired Man but you should come up to Eastern North Dakota this fall for sugar beet Harvest I think you'll get a real kick out all the horsepower in one field

Agriculture is dead
Haha, where's the evidence in that? Agriculture runs everyone's lives.
I love the calf that had a black front half but his flanks had tan.
Is that lime you guys put down before the straw when bedding the calves
Ok looked like it we mix lime with our saw dust and straw when we bed our milk cows and dry cows and all of our hefiers
the old stock trailer is getting a bit of rust in her I see
What day are you guys gonna be at the farm show
Your truck has a fifth wheel hitch on it or even the bumper hitch. You should rent a camper then no worries about hotel rooms.
I dunno about that... by the time you pay for a camping space and all that gasoline to drag around a trailer camper behind you, IMHO you're better off just renting a flippin' motel and get it over with... real bed, real shower, real toilet, don't have to clean it up or prep it for road travel when you're done, can go wherever you want in your car not dragging a trailer around behind you...
Later! OL J R :)
Got a big enough trailer for fritzy at 2:40
Well was Fritzey waiting on you?
Hello!!
1:48 taking your new dog for a walk LOL!
If you were to buy cows and get a market would you start dairy farming again?
Never! Enjoying life now.
Are you guys starting diary again
Why do you take them from their mom so early.. and kneeing them around...
The dairies do that, not us. They do it because the mothers produce so much milk that the calves can’t possibly drink it all. To keep their production from declining, they separate them. How else are we supposed to move them, ask nicely?
Rocket your an alright dog
What no return to Fritzy at the end????
Hey man, I love your vids. (mainly here for the machines though)
Probably a stupid question but I know jack about farming so sorry in advance.
Are these for milk or meat?
What kind of calve is a bottle one?
Also english is not my first language so it might be clear for a native speaker but I dont get much of the specialty words you sometimes use :)
Thanks!
They're being raised for meat... "Bottle calves" are calves from dairy cows. Once they have them, they want the cow to produce milk to sell, so they sell the calves. Since they cannot nurse their mother, they are fed milk replacer with bottles until weaning... Then they'll go on pasture and be fed corn until they're big enough to sell for meat animals.
Later! OL J R :)
what do you do to get rid of dead calf?
I just bought a shirt from you guys.
You should go to Weler Farms
How much money this cow?
Red rope they gotten to him goodbye not going to watch this channel no longer
What?
How many dogs do you guys have?
Why are the calves so cute.
get your showers at truckstps
The audio is crisp. Damm
What happens to them?
Frtizy is adorable!
