Скачать или смотреть Why I Culled My Most Beautiful Cow The Reality of Farming

She was the most beautiful cow in my herd.

Deep-bodied. Feminine. Calm. The kind of animal you stop and admire in the veld.

Her name was 1801 — and today her story ended.

This video isn’t easy to make. Cow 1801 was culled, not because she was sick or old, but because she was inefficient. In commercial farming, beauty doesn’t pay bills. Performance does.

In this episode I walk you through her full story: her calves, her conception record, body condition, seasons she struggled through — and the cold, necessary decisions that come when numbers matter more than sentiment. I show the records behind the choice, what traits we track, and why disciplined culling is one of the hardest but most important jobs in livestock production.

This is farming without filters.

It’s about respect for animals.
It’s about stewardship of land.
It’s about economics.
It’s about responsibility.

If you farm, this will hit home.
If you don’t, this will open your eyes to the realities behind beef production.

Sometimes the animals we admire the most teach us the toughest lessons.
