Blue Mounds Valley Ranch

Helping you make better cattle decisions.

Blue Mounds Valley Ranch is a family-operated cattle ranch in northeast Oklahoma.

This channel is focused on real-world cattle management:
– Stocking rate
– Cow size and profitability
– Feeding and hay decisions
– Breeding and timing
– What actually makes money (and what doesn’t)

Everything here is based on what we’re doing on our ranch — not theory.

If you run cows, are thinking about it, or want to understand it better, you’re in the right place.

Most people think cattle operations fail because of drought, markets, or cattle prices.

Sometimes that’s true.

But many times the pressure starts years earlier with decisions that slowly get the operation out of balance.

Appreciate every one of you watching and commenting.

I just posted a new one today that builds on that idea.

500 subscribers.

For a small ranch in northeast Oklahoma, that’s a pretty big deal.

This place has been in our family since 1960, and getting to share what we’re doing here—and have people actually find value in it—means a lot.

Appreciate every one of you following along.

Sitting here this morning and realized we are only 64 subscribers away from my goal of 500 I set for the channel in January. That was a ONE YEAR goal! I just want to say thank you! I am blown away by the support and engagement in our videos that you all provide. I have no doubt we will hit 500 and beyond soon. If you are gaining value from our content share it, repost it, tell a friend about it and we will hit that 500 number in no time! Have a great day everyone!

Ranch question for everyone:

If you had calves at 475 lbs, would you sell them now or background them for another 200 lbs of gain?

I broke down the numbers in my newest video. Curious what everyone would do.

Sell at 475 or background? There’s $168 per head on the line. What are you doing?

This is an 1890s map of our area.

See “Blue Mounds” circled?

That’s where our ranch name comes from.

Should I do a short video explaining more of the history behind the name?
