Winter has set in here in West-central Minnesota. 🥶 Today on the YouTube channel, Jonathan shares some thoughts and observations on different winter feeding strategies.

What's your favorite way to feed your ruminant livestock in the winter and why?

🐐Goats for Brush Control 🐐
Need help managing brush, buckthorn, or other invasive plants this summer? Hire our goats! We're offering two options this season: lease the goats (you care for them, and we provide the fence, goats, and training) or contract us and we'll take care of everything for you.

Goat grazing is becoming the go-to solution for handling some of the worst brush and w**d control jobs. They are the quiet, environmentally friendly alternative to herbicides and machinery. They can handle terrain that machinery cannot, and they don't complain about it. They love this work!

Message me for more details and check out some of their impressive work from last year!

*2024 Calf Crop*

Take a long look at this group of 45 Angus calves from hardworking cows because this is one of the nicest sets of calves we have seen in a long time. This cow herd is managed in a no-nonsense, low-input way. With the genetics of this herd, these calves will finish well in a grass-finishing operation and the heifers will make great moderate sized cows in the future that will earn their keep.

~Sired by Ohlde Cattle and Jauer Dependable Genetics bulls. ~Vaccinated for blackleg and red water.
~Raised on mama’s milk and grass, no creep or grain.
~Trained to poly wire and accustomed to intensive grazing management.

Preference will be given to buyers who take the whole group. Loads will need to be weighed at Tri-County Stockyards in Motley, MN.

2024 Calf Crop

Take a long look at this group of 45 Angus calves from hardworking cows because this is one of the nicest sets of calves we have seen in a long time. Sired by Ohlde Cattle and Jauer Dependable Genetics bulls, this cow herd is managed in a no-nonsense, low-input way. These April/May born calves will be ready to wean in a couple of weeks and will be 475-500 pounds. They have been vaccinated for blackleg and red water.

These calves have been raised on mama’s milk and grass, not a lick of creep or grain. Calves are trained to poly wire and accustomed to intensive grazing management. With the genetics of this herd, these calves will finish well in a grass-finishing operation and the heifers will make great moderate sized cows in the future that will earn their keep.

Owner is willing to negotiate on weaning time, preconditioning, and can potentially start backgrounding these calves. Preference will be given to buyers who take the whole group. Loads will need to be weighed at Tri-County Stockyards in Motley, MN.

> 4WD
> 400 HP Cummins engine
> 24 speed, two range Powersync transmission
> 4 remotes with return flow
> Field cruise and ground radar
> Rear differential
> 520/85r42 hub duals, rubber about 75%

Here is a clean, excellently maintained 8970 with great rubber and life left. Dependable John Deere Powersync transmission has 24 speeds over two ranges. Rear differential lock and return hydraulic flow round out the options on this tractor. Since 2006, the previous life of this machine was on an RDO potato farm where its primary responsibility was pulling trucks out of the mud during harvest season. Many of the hours logged are idle hours. It has been excellently maintained, the only issue since then was a leaking hydraulic hose. Call Jonathan (320)-766-6670 or Luke at with questions!
