The thing I like about this video is when you acknowledge, "we were a little late." None of us will be perfect all the time -- in the feed lot, in the pasture, on the mountain, or in life -- and one of the most important indicators of long-term success is how we react in those moments.
Interesting approach. At my old boss, we always used red hot iron to learn the young ones where to move. After a while, we replaced the hot iron with normal rods and they still avoided them.
Great video and explanation of virtually any cattle situation! As a young man I did a lot of cattle work alone in pastures calving, moving, doctoring etc...... In doing so it taught me how to read cattle and adapt to a situation without forcing to much pressure on the cattle as well as my horse. Later in life in a feed lot situation those experiences gave me the tools and understanding to handle any situation even if that meant throwing out plan A,B and C going straight to D lol... we have all been there! It amazes me to this day how many people that have worked cattle there whole life just don’t get it! Working with another person or 5 People shouldn’t matter! I-think you should keep that by yourself mentality and throw all ego’s aside and get the job done! That is what makes for good cattle and great horses! Just watching this shows me who you are and what your about and in my opinion I would think anyone would be more than lucky to work under you and learn something from it! I know I would be!
This is what most people don’t understand about working a cow because they see the distorted method of the working cow horse competition and they think that is how it is done in the real world lol but unless you want to be fixing fence you have to do it exactly like this. Now if you have a solid sided pen like we use I love the tough pulling ones because I get my horse locked on to the one I want and drop my hand and he does the rest but that takes a lot of time to get a horse that doesn’t push to hard or the cow/ yearling will quit on you, but it’s still a lot of fun when you get a horse that loves picking and pushing and is smart enough to read the animal and set speed accordingly, I have only had two that smart and one is a paint lol you have a good looking horse under you
2:10 the calf in the middle; I get your busy with other calf but I would pulling him next. Again, their black cattle and i understand the principle of pull cattle.
I've heard stories of 4 guys and a loader taking over an hour.... You're right though, If you cant get it out in less than a couple few minutes it ain't worth the stress and hassle on that animal, the rest of the pen. Come back later or wait till tomorrow... Yet people go full bore apeshit yelling and hollering to get out "a really bad footrot" that is really just mildly stifled and best just left alone. They'll cause a big dust cloud, fences will be crunching and creaking, a hundred or more head will need to be sorted off, and when they get 97 whittled off, the "really bad footrot" will just run right on past them back into the pen. Then they'll wonder why them"sTo0Pid" cattle are so darn wily, and why they have AIP's and banged up injured critters....
Sir when you have let her ran back into the cattle that many times I ask you she was making all of her own decisions you then in return are upsetting the whole pen running pound off the whole pen. In your video find a sick one if they are truely sick and if you are ridding a horse that the animal know it's in command of the animal mind which is the horse at a walk not letting the cattle take charge you will not have cattle bouncing off the fence. A sick cow or steer wants the hell out of the pen away from competition then it bring us to what sick cattle is what is your cause have symptoms you are pulling this animals for... Another thing have dill tack on your horse shoe the year around. I sir have been evaluate by some one just like you he told me and my horses had to much confidence to slow the animal never ran by mine horse upsetting the whole pen because they was not showing there ass to the cow.... Then he ask me why I didn't ran the animals when I got them to the open gate I said wy this is not a place for speed it all a bout who is in charge of a safe pull. His comment to me was you and your horse have to much confidence. Then you should tell the people a good pen riding when pulling sick cattle never hear from the vet crew his cattle aren't sick it's because he know what the hell he is doing. Believe me don't be down grading a good working horse with drill tack on the shoe you need to stress speed in the pen which get people hurt and cattle mad which come down you have got two wrong in pen with dumb ass training. Then you are going to said what the do I know say I will come back say sir I don't know everything I am still learning I am a work in progress but I been responsible for 16,000 a day for 8 day's a week had to have my pens rode by the morning put up go homes in the afternoon noon could lose no more than three head a month sometimes ask to ride another 16,000 in the afternoon noon because somebody didn't show up to work still ride under the dead lose of three head in one month taking the heat for that person not showing up. Rode into other guys pens that they let there cattle get away out the gate they could know and dam knew out to get out that just cost me waste time plus it cost the customer money and pounds. Time to teach the pen rider cattle handling skill plus speed kill and a dam good horse is not the cause of the accident it operator air.... Also teach them at the gate what the hell is the parking brakes is on a cow. P.s my job was to pull cattle not to slow down operation that come by good cattle handing skill and the values of a good cow horse taught common sense and that speed will hurt you in slick cattle pens so much more I could say but not a except but bend there done it have lots of data on........
All that matters to the employer is the guys got a hat and a buckle, wearing spurs ;) People make it way too difficult and have no regard for the whole rest of the pen and what they are doing to them nor the time and money saved doing things right and not running pounds off whole pens and risking injury. I'd sooner have no help than bad help on two legs. The industry insists on throwing more monkeys at the problem instead of getting greater apes :) They pay peanuts and wonder why they got monkeys...
You prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@Fox Kellan thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Awesome video. Love the real world, un-edited real view. Perfect demonstration. Thanks fellas!
