The calves have arrived… and with them comes one of the biggest risks in beef farming — a two-year wait to see if it pays off.

In today’s video, we bring in a new batch of calves to Stewart Family Farm and get them settled into their new home. From feeding and bedding to health checks and routine jobs, this is where the long journey begins. Every calf represents an investment of time, money, and work — with no guarantees at the end.

Will they thrive? Will prices hold? In beef farming, you won’t know for two years.

🐄 In this video:

• New calves arriving on the farm
• Settling them in with fresh bedding and feed
• The reality of rearing bought-in calves
• Why finishing cattle is such a long game
• Day-to-day care in the calf sheds

This is real farming — patience, hard work, and plenty of unknowns along the way.

Hope you enjoy, any questions hit me down in the comments below, thanks for watching! G'Luck
