Mr Tyler you sir deserve a huge amount of respect from all of us cattle farmers you raise your cattle with so much love an care the way it should be I tell people all the time if asked about getting into the cattle business I always tell them don't get into it for money get into it because you love an want to raise cattle
We had a freemartin calf rejected by the cow, she was a twin. We bottle fed her, she had the same issues as this little guy. She went out with our little herd and did great. She even had 2 calves of her own!
BoyHowdy! Sure takes me back to my youth on a small Ohio farm. I'm 69 today; I left the farm at 19 (entered mil service for 27 yrs and 17 yrs further gov't service), but I still fondly remember bottle feeding those calves. You do a fantastic job, my friend. Lovely family, too! I really look forward to your vids coming out. Thanks.
I would recommend the nipple buckets. Calves are usually really easy to train on them and once they know what's going on they take care of themselves. Huge time saver.
Your calves are beautiful! When I was 13, we had 3 bottle calves and it was my job to feed them. Brings back fond memories. I’m 55 now and still living on the same farm today.
"Better to be sure than sorry" was a fave saying of mother's . Bode well for the heifer you fetched up to the shute to verify her heifer calf was feeding. Well done. My dad was the best dairy farmer I know in my 70 yrs and you Sir are following closely in his footsteps in all areas of farming . You're such a pleasure to follow Farmer Tyler.
FT, you are one busy farmer, two bottle calves and new ones popping out besides! I just have to say you’re the best man for the job, love watching all you do and your beautiful family! God’s blessings!!!❤❤❤❤
I love that that bottle calves have each other’s companionship, even though it’s a lot of work for you and your lovely wife. Thanks for another great video!
I think your Grandpa was a wonderful role model for you....the love and compassion for each and every animal on your ranch. Obviously we know the circle of life but these animals had the best while under your care. Your beautiful kids are learning this from you.
I raised lots of bottle calves, pretty soon they were switched to a nipple bucket. I put big dog collars on them and would tie them to the fence for 10 minutes or so. This kept them from suckling on each other and as soon as they started nibbling on hay I started giving them small amounts of calf starter while still tied. They learned to lead quickly, a good skill to have. Thanks for your great videos, l've been a fan since the beginning!
Watching your cows have calves reminds me of the time when we had 400 head of cattle. 15 bulls only one was Brahma. He was never with the cows usually 1/2 mile away but when calves came 1/2 of them were his. Love the white calves
The bottle calves are so happy to have a friend. The two playing with each other was adorable. I love your wife’s idea of bringing them inside. That is something I would totally do as well.
Very sweet to see the calves, brought me back to my time on our farm, we purchased 3 day old Holstein bulls but never bottle fed..was shown how to pail feed them from the dairy farmer...in this way we could feed all of them with out bottles...we would stand over them facing thier heads then insert our fingers into thier mouth got the sucking going, then gently shoved thier mouth down into the pail with the warm milk replacer..done this for a few feedings they caught on very quick...they would put thier heads into the pail, and immediately start to suck up the milk, eventually they drank thier water the same way...so they had two pails in thier own little stalls...when they finished the milk the pails where pulled and washed ready for the next feeding...but they always had thier water pail...but thank for the video, great to see spring calves once again...we done this back in the 70's and 80's then after that we sold our farm...I am 74 now but still not out of the livestock I own a 16 yr old though bred/ quarter horse gelding , had him since he was a yearling ...so I still buy hay, straw, grain...and clean out his stall and clean him...hope you and your family have a great Easter...
Well, I have to say that this is now my absolute favorite video that you’ve put out so far. I enjoyed everything. I’m so glad the first calf is now not alone. I believe this will improve both of their chances and their health. I am looking forward to seeing more about these calfs. I guess cows having twins isn’t so rare as one might of thought. Actually I was surprised when you said that it’s rare because every year your cows have at least one set of twins if not more. I’m very happy to see this one improve so much, that made me happy. Great that the whole family is helping out. Gotta love it ❤️😃
This is my 2nd time watching!!! I love seeing all the baby calves!! And how adorable are the two bottle calves now! They will grow up to be big buddies❤ One thing for sure, Rivet definitely knew what his job was when you put him with the ladies!!!😘 It's always good getting to see Mrs. FTR and your babies!!!
This absolute favorite video, so glad the first calf is now not alone and has a buddy to play with and both will get some exercise to get stronger. You do a great job with these problems that arise with animals and equipment problems. Have a great day enjoy the sun. More weather coming tomorrow.
The black twin looks like he has short ligaments & tendons from knee to fetlock joints to hoof. It will take him a few days to stretch out & walk on his hooves instead of knuckled over & on his fetlock joints. Sometimes they need to be splinted but most stretch out on their own after 2 to 5 days. Glad the calves have a buddy, the white calf perked up & looked happy to have company. I use to put a bottle between my knees & hold 1 in each hand braced against my thighs & my back & butt planted firmly against the stall wall so I could feed 3 calves at a time. I had them bucket trained at about 3 weeks old.
That is one of my favorite videos! Lots of things happening, and fun to see all the new calves. The final scene was certainly proof (as if we needed it!) that cows are social animals. That was heartening and endearing to see.
Those two bottle babies are adorable. I was in tears watching them playing and knowing they had been lonely. People don't realize how much cattle need companionship, from babies on up.
It's so apparent that you (& your family!) love and care for your animals... especially for those calves where you'll go to any length to ensure they thrive. Knowing & appreciating your long days of hard work, the fact that you're willing to add videoing what you do to the workload and share it with the world is beyond tenacity & fortitude! ❤You must love what you're doing!❤
I can’t say it enough what a wonderful farmer you are those cows are all taken care of so very well I’m sure they never want to leave it was wonderful to see your kids and your lovely wife taking care of the cows as well thank you for a great lesson in farming can’t get enough!
Tyler, there's camp chords that you could watch outside from your house you can watch it in the inside of your barn. Mother with calf if nurse or not😮 They're not expensive 🤔 anymore $30 dollars. We enjoy watching your videos ❤
When all the cows realize theirs a foster parent on the farm then that's when you'll be in trouble. 🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy the ride never a dull day on a farm always a new surprise waiting for you when you wake up, it keeps you busy, blessed and thankful everyday.❤
Just started watching your videos, this one and the one before really calming. Something about this video watching the calf take the bottle with selenium salt was magical. Thank you and your family and god bless you. needless to say, I've subscribed.
OMGoodness, life on the ranch can be challenging. Two sweet little calves bottle fed it's good to see the black one begin to thrive. I'm assuming his front legs will be straight soon? I laughed at the white one running around in the pen! Babies are so cute.
My grandfather always kept calves born on holidays and birthdays of family members. His herd was amazing. He called and they came, he very rarely had to go get them or move them manually. He usually just opened gates and called. 49 cows plus calves, 2 bulls. Oddly named Big Richard and Lil Richard. Hahaha 😂 I didn't get the joke until I was in my late teens.
Such a precious baby. Its so much fun to watch the babies discover what to do. It would be very smart to keep then for a day or two just to be safe. ❤️😉
Loved LOVED this!! Can’t help but wonder how many have dropped since this😂😂 good to see the fam helping out and looks like talk are having fun too❤❤ big responsibilities having two bottle calves!🥴 you have any more and the kids may have to start holding a bottle🤣😂😂❤🙌🏻 great job!!
I am sorry you had to have a second bottle calf but really it ended up being a blessing. Brie, I love the name Smokey and I agree with one of the other viewers that the black one should be named Bandit! If their bulls maybe you could hand raise them to be sold as very gentle bulls to another farmer who wants one. Great video. We all love seeing Brie and the kids.
These videos are extremely informative. Tyler thanks for do8ng these. The information about the kinds of complications that could happen, it makes me lean toward not trying to do what you are doing. Thanks Tyler. I can't explain how much I appreciate these calving videos.
Definitely my favorite video that you've ever posted. Very awesome. The calves together was an instant game changer for both of them. Very very cool. 💯❤️
That was a great video! 👍👍 great job to you and the family on stepping in there for them bottle calves! Looking like a regular lil nursery. You started out 1 down now your up one! Right on! God Bless Bull Lucero USMC
You can clearly see how much you care about your animals. The whole family participates in this. What is so nice to see is that as much as possible happens naturally. Quite a difference from dairy cows. I don't eat meat myself, but this is nice to look at. ❤
Thinking ahead. That Temporary Squeeze chute worked and saved a lot of problems. I hope I can think ahead as well as you. Thanks for teaching me good reasoning.
Today is the first time I watched your videos. Having a white & black outlet calves. I'm in love with them. I'll keep watching. I also watch all The Doss farms videos😊
Maybe you should get a few trail cameras to help view these wonderful animals. So nice to see the calves try to play. Having a buddy will help them immensely. Thank you..
When I was a kid, feeding the bottle calves was the littler kids job. The older kids and the adults did the milking, feeding and cleaning, after. The littlest kids, would feed the chickens and collect eggs with mom, collect the milk that was going to the hoyse, and than help mom make breakfast, normally with the help of one of the 2 oldest kids(they help both keep an eye on the little and act as a go-for, or take over the stove work). But the bottles we red the calves with, was normally taken from those milked first, which were the best producers, because they would take the most time and we're the most uncomfortable from the full utters.
Is it a first time mom? I love watching you're channel, i lived on a farm few years ago n i loved it, Youre good at what you do 👏 My Irish grandmother always said Hunger is good sauce😂
The little white calf looked so happy to just have a friend!
Mr Tyler you sir deserve a huge amount of respect from all of us cattle farmers you raise your cattle with so much love an care the way it should be I tell people all the time if asked about getting into the cattle business I always tell them don't get into it for money get into it because you love an want to raise cattle
I'm new to watching your channel. It's wonderful to see how blessed your herd is so blessed to have you raising them!
The two bottle calves together just made my day. Thank you for sharing Tyler.
We had a freemartin calf rejected by the cow, she was a twin. We bottle fed her, she had the same issues as this little guy. She went out with our little herd and did great. She even had 2 calves of her own!

Thank you for your service. Happy birthday fellow Ohioan.
Nice comments, Happy Birthday 🎉.
Happy Birthday Bill. mine was yesterday.
@billb4631 Happy Birthday!! Thank you for your support and kind words!
Animal husbandry at its finest. It’s great to see healthy calves.
I would recommend the nipple buckets. Calves are usually really easy to train on them and once they know what's going on they take care of themselves. Huge time saver.

You are a Good Herdsman. Alway play on the side of caution for the success of the herd.
Rivet sure seems like your highest producer in stud services lol. He has many babies. Go Rivet!!!
Riveters babies are bad ass
I think your Grandpa was a wonderful role model for you....the love and compassion for each and every animal on your ranch. Obviously we know the circle of life but these animals had the best while under your care. Your beautiful kids are learning this from you.
Listening to Mrs. FTR's last words.....I think your in trouble Tyler.......LOL Great job on the FTR today! Can't believe how your kids are growing!!
😂😂🙌🏻🤪
I raised lots of bottle calves, pretty soon they were switched to a nipple bucket. I put big dog collars on them and would tie them to the fence for 10 minutes or so.

He must of been working night shift 😂
Smokey and Bandit❤ I am here for this!!
Two sets of twins in a season is nuts!
I just love the golden calves!
This may be the best video you've done.
Those 2 bottle babies together are so 🥰 cute!
💖💖💖💖💖💖 Those 2 calves, together, were absolutely darling. Makes my heart smile.
Glad bottle baby doing good. Rivet was busy...love the colors. Little Bull was doing his job too.
Good job, I like the idea that you becoming such an expert helping these poor babies, 👍👏👏👏👏
So cute watching the two play. You guys are so lucky.
There you go, setting up the backup squeeze chute is paying off in spades!
The bottle calves are so happy to have a friend. The two playing with each other was adorable. I love your wife’s idea of bringing them inside. That is something I would totally do as well.
Seeing those calves play is priceless. I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow together.

That calf feeding was just so cute!
Watched your video on May 5. I am a retired cattle rancher and I would say that you are doing an excellent job.

So many surprises this calving season! Enjoy seeing the bottle calves together and doing so well.
Thank you for showing us this feeding time. God bless you and your family.
Great video! I really admire your patience, kindness, and concern for those little calves.

They will grow up to be big buddies❤ One thing for sure, Rivet definitely knew what his job was when you put him with the ladies!!!😘 It's always good getting to see Mrs. FTR and your babies!!!
I just love this time of year. My wife and I just sit out in the evenings and watch our baby lambs run and play.
Now that is the life! Better that than TV.
Your a great farmer so caring and loving
This absolute favorite video, so glad the first calf is now not alone and has a buddy to play with and both will get some exercise to get stronger. You do a great job with these problems that arise with animals and equipment problems. Have a great day enjoy the sun. More weather coming tomorrow.

Funny how it worked out…your calves will do so much better having each other. Bottle calves are so much work, but glad you got it worked out!
You’re the best. It’s obvious with your experience and love of animals these babies will grow strong and healthy.

Thank you for explaining the cause of sterility in twin heifer calves. I’m learning.
Today is the first time I watched your videos. Having a white & black outlet calves. I'm in love with them. I'll keep watching. I also watch all The Doss farms videos😊

I just found your channel . You children are so cute. I like how the little girl repeats everything to her brother. Looking forward to more videos.
I love seeing the calves jumping around! 😊
It’s great when things turn out , great job !
You’ve made a good little Momma, Dad! Glad you have help tho. Sometimes you need Two Mamma’s!
Awesome video, your family teamwork is spoton! Thanks for sharing.
Is it a first time mom? I love watching you're channel, i lived on a farm few years ago n i loved it, Youre good at what you do 👏 My Irish grandmother always said Hunger is good sauce😂
