We start with the calves at home, then unload at the sale barn and show the morning routine at the market. Along the way, Michelle explains how a livestock market works, what cattle buyers look for, and how calves are sorted, weighed, and prepared for the sale. You’ll notice Henry isn’t with Michelle at the sale barn — and there’s a good reason. Our water lines froze and busted, and Henry stayed home to fix that awful mess. That’s part of farming: sometimes the work at home doesn’t stop just because it’s sale day. Michelle takes you along while Henry handles the emergency repairs back at the farm. You’ll see calves walk across the scales, watch the sale ring in action, listen to the auctioneer, and then watch our calves sell. After the sale, we show how calves are unloaded and handled behind the scenes. At the end of the video, Michelle breaks down the real cost of raising calves, including: Daily care and labor Feed, hay, grain, and vaccinations Overhead expenses like taxes, insurance, fencing, equipment, water, and land Unexpected costs such as frozen water lines, drought damage, and emergency repairs Seasonal challenges in winter and extreme heat And the true profit per calf after all expenses This video is perfect for new farmers, women farmers, young farmers, and anyone curious about how cattle farming really works.
