    Its nice.when the animals are so calm. We ran 80-90 head only but 90% were like pets. Just call and they'd come. Made working with them so easy

    I enjoyed the barn tour I’ve wanted one ever since you guys built it we lost some calves in the blizzards last year so it would have been nice to have something like that to get them out of the weather. Can’t wait till the next one.

      You got it! I’ll share that in the next few weeks as we lower curtains for winter and the lovely snow!

    @NextLevelFarmerDotCom 5 місяців тому +1

    Awesome detailed description of your new barn! Question... Do you notice a better feed efficiency and or daily gain for beef cows in the barn versus your feeding lots with no barn cover from rain or snow?

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  5 місяців тому

      we've noticed a huge increase in daily gain for feeder calves in the barn and cows eat less when in the barn too! especially with winter

    Good looking barn. Do you calve your cows and heifers in February/ March?

    • @thatfitagvocate

      yep! heifers start mid February. Cows in March!

  • @patricknesburg575

    Great tour of your barn, thank you! Starting to see a few more in our area. Have never put a pencil to it, but has to be more cost effective vs pole barn/steel structure. How was it to insure vs standard pole barn? Any issues with that? Thanks again!

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  8 місяців тому +1

      Gladly!! Definitely more budget-ish friendly than steel.. and the benefits of air flow + natural light. I don't think insurance was any issue for us!

    What does a barn like that cost and is it a complete concrete pad or a gravel floor?

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  6 місяців тому +1

      the front feed alley on both sides is concrete + where the waterers are. The rest is a bed pack with clay under

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  4 місяці тому

      It’s not bad at all! We will scoop out some rock & extra cornstalks every 3-4 weeks or so, but not much generally!

    How many pairs do have per pen during calving season?

  • @NoTill1825
    @NoTill1825 8 місяців тому +1

    Calves seem like our rotational grazed calves. Why a barn and all the equipment to wear out vs spring calving out on grass? Looked at the Hoop Beef system, and couldn't justify the cost plus all the equipment upgrades to wear out 250k worth of equipment.

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  8 місяців тому

      We don’t have pasture & can’t find more pasture in the land of crop country.

    • @thatfitagvocate
      @thatfitagvocate  8 місяців тому

      Also… “spring calving” in Minnesota still includes snowstorms.

    • @NoTill1825
      @NoTill1825 8 місяців тому

      @@thatfitagvocate we don't either. Just moved poor producing cropland to pasture and rotate other middle producing cropland to annual mix pastures.
