How Much Does it Cost To Raise and Butcher a Beef Cow?
What happens here
The farmer introduces the project, explaining his decision to butcher two steers instead of selling them at a cattle sale barn. He highlights the current high prices for cattle and beef. The initial step involves preparing the cattle for transport, which includes guiding them from the pasture into a sturdy cattle trailer. This often requires using a squeeze chute to safely handle the animals before loading them onto the trailer attached to a pickup truck.
Goal: Safely prepare and load steers onto a trailer for transport to the butcher.
