We had some deja vu this morning after we covered

We had some deja vu this morning after we covered one of our silage piles for the second time! A large gust of wind overnight turned the sheet of plastic into a sail, but it didn't take much wind to send the plastic whipping through the air! Right now, we are a little sparse on the tires this year after another year of yields that are near record-setting. Thankfully, we have some spare tractor weights and railroad ties to get us through the next few weeks as we continue to make a dent in the pile with all of the new cattle we've brought into the feedlot. We should have enough in the next few weeks after rolling back more plastic covering the feed.🛞🌽 #ontheranch #feedlotflub #cornsilage #cattlefeeding #coloradocattlefeeders #coloradoranchers #ranchraisedbeef #beefyoucantrust #knowyourrancher #ranchraisedbeef #buybeefonline

November hasn't been slowing things down for us, so surely we can't be the only ones still in high gear. However, earlier last week, Eric had the privilege of meeting and hosting a team of Ag officials and professionals from the UK. We always love to teach others about our operation and help them better understand some of the various challenges and opportunities we face locally. From Left to Right, Members included Dr. Phil Hadley, the Secretary General of the International Meat Secretariat. Following Eric, David Barton represents the National Farmers Union of the UK as the National Livestock Board. John Royle, who represents the National Farmers Union of the UK as the Chief Livestock Advisor. We hope to welcome you all back soon! 🐂📸 #ranchfieldtrip #ranchtours #coloradobeef #coloradoagriculture #UKagriculture #networkingontheranch #agleadership #fourthgenerationfamilyfarm #knowyourrancher #beefyoucantrust #nationalfarmersunion #internationalmeatsecretariat

We aren't sure who is more excited about our new stock trailer, us or the cattle! Last week, Eric and Kathy decided that it was finally time to add another stock trailer to the fleet, this one made of shiny aluminum! In the last few years, we have done a lot more highway driving with our trailer when it comes time to take cattle into processing. This morning Kirsten and Kathy were checking out just how shiny the interior currently is. Get a good look because it won't stay that way for long! 🚛🐂 #ontheranch #newequipmentontheranch #coloradoranchers #buylocalbeef #beefyoucantrust #ranchraisedbeef #coloradobeef #knowyourrancher #beefshippedyoyourdoor #buybeefonline

We are back in the fields after we finished choppi

We are back in the fields after we finished chopping silage to plant a combination of grazing and cover crops. The mixture of seeds includes Oats, Triticale, Canola, Turnips, Radishes, field peas, and Sorghum Sudan. There are multiple reasons we plant cover crops. Still, the three main benefits to us are the following: Making use of the extended growing season, improving soil health while helping prevent winter erosion, and even being used for carbon sequestration up until the first big freeze. These two pictures were taken only about two weeks apart, but this field is coming along pretty well! 🌾🌿 #ontheranch #covercrops101 #fallontheranch #farming101 #canola #peas #sorghumsudan #coloradoranchers #ranchraisedbeef #pastureraisedcornfinished #beefyoucantrust

🎃 Rise and shine, everyone, it's Halloween! This morning was incredibly foggy, a perfect backdrop for some Halloween magic in the feedlot! The mist gave everything an eerie glow; you could barely see the loader and feed trucks starting the morning chores! We couldn't have asked for a spookier scene from the cattle all shrouded in that fog. It's these unique moments that make ranch life so special! The cattle aren't too keen on dressing up, but we tried our best to get them in the spooky spirit, thanks to some help from some digital stickers! 👻 What Halloween adventures are you planning for today? Share your spooky stories below! 🐮✨ #halloweenontheranch #foggymorning #spookyseasonontheranch #coloradohalloween #coloradoranchers #coloradobeef #beefyoucantrust #spookybeef #spookycows #buybeefonline #knowyourrancher #scaredycow

It's been a race against time and Mother Nature this week as we push to get the last of the triticale planted before the water is turned out of the ditch next week! Triticale is a versatile, drought-resistant crop that fits perfectly into our rotation. Timing is everything — especially when it comes to making the most of our natural resources. Hopefully, we can push off a deeper freeze this evening and give the crop just a little more time to establish before it reemerges in the Spring. 🚜🌾

To finish up the week and celebrate earlage harves

To finish up the week and celebrate earlage harvest being over, we got to cover all of the earlage piles to ensure they begin their fermentation process and to limit the amount of mold that grows. While this project isn't a fan favorite around the ranch, it is a necessity to making sure we get the most out of the feed we put up for our cattle. As we were waiting for the loader to bring us more tires, Eric and Berrie had a great time "playing in the sandbox" talking about the benefits of feeding earlage.

Tis the season of getting calves into the feedlot!

Tis the season of getting calves into the feedlot! It is weaning time for many ranchers in our part of the state, which means we are starting to get calves in from small ranchers in our area. Once we get the calves unloaded, counted and sorted based on their sex, we weigh the calves so we have a starting weight as they enter the feedlot. Knowing this helps us know how much feed they should be consuming and helps us track them as they continue to grow. While it is nice to see the feedlot start filling up again, the calves bawling for a week can get a little tiring to listen to!

It never fails that during harvest season we end up in the shop trying to patch equipment together long enough to finish up cutting. We had to take a short break from earlage harvest to fix not only the cutter, but also one of our harvest trucks. While we are sure that Eric and Jeff are quite capable of getting the chopper up and running in no time, we are glad Sis is there to supervise them and make sure they stay on task!
