Neat video of cattle porduction in 1955

I just found this neat cattle film/video from 1955.
Cattle video

A blast from the past. Not the way it was done where I grew up. Until 1985 we would fill a flatbed wagon with ear corn by hand (scooping into a new idea elevator) till the wagon was almost busting at the seams. Normally Wednesday, & Saturday every week. Haul it 3 miles to the local mill, & back, & then scoop it by hand into the cattle feeders by hand. When really bad weather hit improvising was essential. During the Blizzard of 78 if I remember right we fed straight corn, & hay to 101 feeder cattle. I vividly remember riding on the tractor (had no cab) while Dad was trying to open a path 1/4 mile back to the hayshed. The snow at one point went up the hood on an IH 666. Got a face full of snow more than once. Couldn't maneuver a wagon. He had a 3000 lbs bale mover with a wood deck would hold about 30 small bales, & He build the 2, or 2.5 foot side boards with stake pockets to haul ear corn. Those were the days.

Very interesting Historical Video, Thanks!

Great to see all the varieties of cattle they had back then. Today it seems all we see are the black ones around here.

Thanks for posting JD Seller.

Really interesting. Bookmarked it as there are numerous others that I want to watch there.

Gee that narrator voice threw me right back into an elementary classroom watching a "filmstrip"... no videos or live-feeds then. (70's not the 50's - but the voice was still the same. LOL)

Nice to see some Herefords.

Thanks a lot for posting this. That is exactly the way it was done when I was growing up in central Kansas, including the cattle trains to Kansas City. Brought back good memories, and I appreciate the post.

Thanks for posting. We had a stock yard in our town where cattle from Texas came in on the train and then pastured in the flint hills. Also went to Kansas City stockyard with my Dad to sell cattle.

Thanks for posting. Brought back many memories of the 50's and 60's. The narrative reminds me of the John Deere Day movie each year which was the highlight of the winter months for a farm boy.
