Dramatic Catching, Sorting and Big Beef Calf Loading
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The time has come to catch and sort two loads worth of our biggest calves that were weaned this past fall. In three days worth footage, I catch the calves by feeding in the Kubota. Then they are pushed up into the pens where we can sort off the larger ones and knock off the ones that aren't quite up to weight yet. Cattle can become wild and unpredictable when in these situations so the danger factor is always there. We try to handle them as easy as possible to create less stress for these animals. Hope you enjoy!

There is definitely some frustrating times and a lot of hard work but the job gets done one way or another!

Your right
Hi
I'm a new sub .. and I have enjoyed watching your videos ..but its starting to get a little boring watching you work cattle every day .. I liked the one where u cleaned out the spillway .. and cut some hay .. fed a few baby calves .. but you and your dad working cattle every day gets old .. I did see you go find some boards .. in those old barns but never saw what u done with them,, or saw anything you have made for your house,, or any part of the new house,, haven't any maintenance on your equipment,, really not sure if i will stay a subscriber or not .. im from south central wisc ,, and do watch a lot of youtube,, thats how I stumbled upon yourr vids ..
I understand and I agree, it does get old but that’s pretty much what we’re doing right now and super busy with. I don’t even post half the cow working stuff and try to only post the more interesting ones.
I definitely have a ton of good videos planned out when we finish up with the majority of the cattle working. Those are also the videos that are doing the best on my channel. Trust me, I love making videos of the other stuff I just don’t want to start boring people of things like me welding on the feed truck all day yesterday and fabricating a new spout that broke off.
It won’t all be about cattle, hang in there and thanks for watching so far!
Awesome loader
Them heifer’s will getcha
Great video I have been wondering why you haven't posted in awhile.
Another incredible video! Love your creative perspective on everyday farm happenings. Keep em coming 😁. BRW- those cattle get a bit crazy, saw one jump up into the air on the others ones. I see why you get on the upper rail of the fence. Take care.
Thank you! Yes, I always know where the fence is just in case.
Just came across your channel, first time viewing your video and it was a great video. Amazing cattle operation you have going keep up the good work! Subscribing now
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
last video now im all caught up hugsss from Ontario Canada
tammy sarrazin nice! Means I need to get some new videos uploaded soon!
@@TheFarmGuy yuppers
Love your operation and your videos
Just curious, have you guys ever considered hay saver feeders? They are more expensive than traditional bale rings, but the amount of waste reduced is pretty astounding.
Really enjoy your videos. Keep em coming!
Thanks! Well we have all sorts of hay racks/rings and understand how much hay gets wasted with certain types. We’ve talked about it and I’m sure before too long we will be upgrading. Some of them are getting in pretty rough shape.
Been there, done that. Lead, don't chase. That's the hard way.
Create an opening where one animal wants to go through and they all want to go through. Small push from the rear. Don't chase. Open up space for the lead. Work smart, not hard.
Love the sharleys
How much lands you got
Why not use a horse???
I was raised on a cattle ranch in Namibia. The cattle ranged across various camps in 5000 hectares and ate natural grass, only needing some supplementary lucerne if we had severe droughts. They came back to our water points/troughs morning and evening. Roundups for dipping and dosing against ticks and worms was easy (drove them through dipping pits and dosed in the cattle grip. Now and again we would inject against specific diseases, but our cattle farming was waaay less intense than yours.
Cattle panels for sale
You are a good person. . My God keep you 🙏
Excelent.
Bro where is this farm in which country n where plz I maybe would like to visit once
The best video
You can relax when the last truck drives off. Just hope for good prices
Yaa they,re not stupid,,,They know when the trip to Mcdonalds or Wendys is coming so they all run for the hills
I'm glad to have found your channel ♡
The cattle follow you like the Pide Piper - they know all about feeding time. That sure makes an easy way to move a herd.
What a operation ya'll have. I love cows!
Well thank you. I love em too!
Great editing
Personally find it easier to sort on horse back
N the paddocks Luk gud n firm nice 👍🏻
Wow, quick reflexes there climbing up on the fence rail! Looked like one of them jumped clear across the top of another calf about the time you got out of their way. Good video! What kind of herding dog is that? He's pretty.
Terri TN thanks! He’s a Blackmouth Cur.
Amazing🚜🚜🚜🚜
Great working pens. Cattle look great also.
does your wife help you out with these videos? I mean like the music for example?...More electronic/dance rather than country aka Keith Urban, Blake Shelton etcv
donny blondy no, she has no part in editing the videos but she will hold a camera or something like every now and then.
@@TheFarmGuy well, behind every hard workin farmer is a good woman!
I just found your channel yesterday and love its content. You do an awesome job editing your video as well, and your shots are beautiful. I was wondering what breed of dog your dog Buster is? I have Great Pyrenees Anatolian cross for livestock gaurdians for goats and sheep, but love the short hair of your dog. I think it is amazing that you have a dog that size herding. I am just starting to test herding abilities of some young dogs that are out out a Great Pyrenees /Anatolian dam and a herding Border Collie sire. They are doing ok, but I might need to cross one more time to the herding to get the instinct I want. I hope to do this with our losing a lot of the size I have gained. Again that's for your great content, I am truely enjoying your videos.
Thank you! Buster is a black mouth cur. They are bred to hunt and work cattle. Very good baying dogs. That might make an awesome cross with the breeds you are referring too.
Great video and I subscribed to your channel! You did a wonderful job of editing your video. What software do you use?
Thanks you! I use Final Cut Pro to edit all of my videos.
@@TheFarmGuy I started using Final Cut Pro about a month ago. Do you recommend any plugins? or tutorials?
@@HedgeAppleAcres Ryan Nangle has some pretty good tutorials on here. mLut by MotionFX is a good color grading plugin that is free and also Alex4D has some good free plugins that are very useful.
@@TheFarmGuy Thanks!
He give only straw to the calves? They win wheigt? In Portugal we give corn silage, and grass silage... Just
No, high protein coastal hay along with other feed. They were on wheat for months also.
It ain’t straw dumb ass it’s hay good lord
You need to invest in a rrained cattle dog instead of having that big guardian looking pup trying to help. Made more work than necessary and hard on cattle being pushed that hard. Beautifil operation you have there.
Deby Zimmerman Thanks. I believe the cattle were going to run no matter what. They are very used to this dog being around them. Buster is a black mouth cur which is bred to be more of a baying dog, not a herder. We didn’t really get him with the intention to be a cow dog.
@@TheFarmGuy thats cool...know nothjng about the Cur breed and having grown up around csttle I know they don't need a resson or excuse to run, especially when and where you don't want them to. The only reason I said anything about the dog is I've seen the trouble a nonherding or untrained fog can do, even if all they do is run outside the fence alongside barkng. I noticed your one cow seriously appeared to be planning on going right over you if you hadnt climbed up that panel. You've got quite a place and it was enjoyable and brought back memories missed watching you doing chores. Thanks for sharing a day of yours with those you don't know.
God bless..Deby
How come no boarder Collies to run ur cattle?
We usually don’t need the help of dogs but that is a good breed for cattle!
Great channel👏🙌
Nre sub great channel
Are they a breed? I just subscribed from Mora New Mexico going to let my friends know about you Channel.
All yours? Or do you condition?
These are calves that we weaned from our own cows.
Nice, usually most condition for others but its impressive there yours
What breed are your dogs
They are black mouth curs!
Are they a herding breed? By the way I'm a new subscriber out here for Mora New Mexico well let my fella wrenches know about your Channel.
Mary Gonzales they are more of a baying breed. Been pretty hard teaching Buster to herd instead of going at their head. Thanks, I do appreciate that!
Born and raised on a beef farm in the mountains of West Virginia. I believe farming runs in my blood and I can see it does in your too. I find your videos to be very realistic and entertaining. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
Wow.. great video... keep up good work!
