@@MichElle-zc9tu 'Never knew farmers work so damn hard' Well I hope you read the next quote and take it to heart. It is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. You would have seemed less dumb if you yelled I am a dumbass while driving with the windows down in a blizzard.
Glad you could tell all that without ever meeting him. And with more certainty than the farmer who works with him. Or are you under the impression that all bulls have the same personality? It's like you are giving a choice as to how you want to seem stupid, and the only thing consistent with any interpretation of your words is that you are, in fact, stupid.
when my daughter was a little girl, whenever we would drive by the farm, I would say, "Thank you cows for all the nice things" and it did not take her long to say it as well. Then we would list the things that cows gave us and it was a good way to teach her, and a lot of fun too. My daughter is now 51 and I am...old! I say now, "Thank you cows AND farmers for all the nice things!"
My mom helped me raise a Hereford bull, when I was young, as a 4H project and we named him Bosco. Bosco was always sweet and gentle even when being playful. My early grades elementary school was on the far side of our pasture. I used to ride Bosco to school and he was always at the pasture fence when school let out so I could ride him home. He lived a long and happy life and passed away at 28 years of age.
My PopPop who owns a dairy farm now used to ride a bull to school when he was a young child! Awesome you did it too. :) I have a few cows myself and while I do not ride them, I have found their personality similar to dogs--very friendly animals. Just need to be careful with them since they aren't always mindful of their size.
That is such a warm story of farm life. Our cattle, horses were on the other side, AND FOR SURE, THAT MEAN BULL OF THE NEIGHBORS, with LONG LONG HORNS WASN’T GOING TO HELP US OUT. When we crossed that field you better be watching for him because for sure he was looking for you. If that had been my children there is no way I would have ever, ever let my kids go across a field where a mean, mean bull was waiting for you. Unbelievable what parents used to let their children do. I once jumped out of a hayloft with an umbrella thanking it was a parachute! It wasn’t! Although I was about 75 pounds it hurt my ankles. Children today have no idea what it’s like to experience such educational fun and a learning experience.
He's not getting rough at all. He's a big boy with a big appetite, and he's celebrating a new delivery of hay with an industrial grade head-scratching. If the bull was getting rough, the man would have got mowed down for telling him to stop it. And, the bull's body language is relaxed and friendly, but excited.
I think he needs to get some of those big brushes you can get for cattle. They look like big scrub brushes mounted on the side of the barn or on a stand in the middle of the pasture. Cows and bulls jove them! They scratch their heads, backs, sides, faces, and bums on them. It makes them very happy.
No way. He's saying "Look ladies, he was driving off but I stopped him and got food" and they are saying. "Ohhh Big Business you are the mostest." I bet there were calves in the making that night. Go boy....
Thanks for doing this! My ancestral home is a farm in the south of France where we have been living and farming since 1400. My grandfather moved to Canada and homesteaded at the turn of the century. Now I am the second generation removed from the land. Your video allowed me to reconnect a little bit.
well when the civil war comes and US breaks into two countries this will be seen more in the red states, meanwhile in the blue states they'll be rioting over toilet paper
Meh, if 2 men could do the work of a hundred and the other 98 could still be happy then that would be enough for me. Let's just break up the large companies and keep moving forward.
Most families can’t afford the land or equipment, so how do “we” bring it back? Many families had hundreds of acres they eventually could hang on too because the overhead cost outpaced the profit margin.
How do “we” bring it back? Most families can’t afford the land or equipment. A great number of families had to give up their land because the overhead cost is so much higher than the profit margin. It’s a sad reality.
I love how the dog was keeping an eye on the bull and the tractor. At 1:58, when the tractor started advancing, the dog moved the bull out of the way. ACD's are some of the smartest dogs!
He's probably just trying to give that big chunk of hay the "business." Cows do it too. I kinda think it's domination/excitement sort of reaction when food arrives, or, something interesting enters their space.
I have a drove of free ranging hogs and one two year old bull in Northeastern Washington State. I also have three little dogs (Boston Terrier, American Pitbull Terrier and Australian Shepherd mix) who keep the hogs and the bull at Bay. There is nothing more thrilling than watching these dogs read my mind when I get frustrated at feed time and instinctively go to work! The dog's weigh no more than fifty pounds, but they will latch on to the nearest hog at the flank, or the scrotum, and won't let go until I say "Leave it!" They have the herding instinct of the Australian Shepherd, with the tenacity of a Boston and the Pitbull! It's hilarious, and very helpful to me! Love those working dogs!
Grew up in Northern Minnesota, on a small farm where we raised Herefords. You have some nice cattle! Thanks for sharing & bringing back lots of memories of our Herefords. We rarely see them here . Blessings from NW Florida!
I wonder how many he goes through a year. One thing i was shocked about my farmer buddy is how unattached he is to his dogs. I inquired and he explained they lose one every year or so, usually by getting run over by the tractor. Harsh but it makes sense.
@@The-Dom mmm. I think he was pulling your leg, farmers make a habit of that. YES, they are unattached to their dogs, but that is because the dog is just another of the farm tools. Farm dogs are so quick, so aware of things that happen normally around farms, it would be unusual for them to be hit imo. I personally never heard of a farm dog getting run over by a tractor, and I worked in a district with at least thirty dairy farms in it, most had two dogs. YES, they get run over on occasion, but it is because of how farmers and farm hands drive on the country roads, the only dogs I remember being run over, were run over because they ran out on to the road barking at the traffic, and I remember one being flattened by a mail truck.
I noticed the dog, too. He kept a wary side-eye on the bull as he was "monitoring" his boss. And, yes, they get run over. Not all farm dogs are the same with regard to paying attention.
I remember when the herds of black Angus cattle would go nuts over bales of hay dropped off in the snow. This video is such a warm reminder of the farm.
Aww. What a playful, adorable set you’ve got! That bull is a sweet one still. Enjoy him, while you can. When they turn mean, you’ll know it. Love your dog too!
Thanks for sharing - such fun to watch them exhibit "happy" behavior and rubbing his face on that bale - wow! Beautiful cattle - thanks for sharing! May God continue to bless you and yours.
I just love Herfords !! You got nice looking young bull. They are so calm and peaceful. You can pets out of them. We did. There like dogs. Wanting attention all the time.
this reminds of videos of cows enjoying a huge brush suspended where they can use it. They seem top enjoy a good scratch. Super video, well caught.... fascinating.
Thank you Lord for giving us the Farmers .Thanks to all of them The hard work they do for us to eat. May the Lord be with all of you continuelly without God and Farmers we would have anything Thanks for the late hours and some tough times. I appreciate all Farmers again, Thank you for a Job Well Done.❤❤
Big Dogies!! I love herfords. We used to have a Giant Herford Bull. He was almost too long & big to cut up like that but I'm sure he could have. We kept having new calves. He was just so gentle. His head was bigger than me but he would lay there with his head on my leg and let me rub his head. 😏 I always kept my other leg tucked, ready to push off and run, just in case, but he was always gentle and sweet.
I would have loved to live like you folks, I know it's not always gravy but the satisfaction I'd get from raising and caring and loving all those animals would be so satisfying and it's a great place to raise your family in such a healthy environment, I appreciate these videos for I like seeing the cows the donkeys the dogs
He's not angry, he's happy. He's nuzzling the hay with his head. A Hereford bull with a full set of horns nuzzled me when I was ten. He was happy to see me every day because I brought him his grain. I've never forgotten Donomo Gem. Happy memories!
that's what I was thinking, man, that's one itchy bull! (and frisky, but the itchy, it'd be nice to help him out with that imo) and they sure do love those scratchers when you put them in...
No.. Have you ever been around cows? They're always trying to scratch their heads, it's rather obvious. Of course he stopped once it's removed because he's scratching his head on the netting.
Awwww well he's thinking the grub is here!! Let's get a move on!!! Looks like they're all hungry!!! Thank you for this video i love seeing ranch life and and all the hard work that goes in to it which y'all make seem so easy cause you love what you do!! Thank you for your hard work that in turn feeds is❤❤❤❤.
It can be kinda aggravating when the cattle won’t let you do what needs to be done. Sometimes they can be a little tame & just won’t get out of the way. Thank you for this video & I hope that you are having a good day.
I use to visit my uncle on the farm when I was young. I just loved handing his cows a cob of corn and watching them eat. He had Charolais and had a brute of a bull that was named Big Rock. Beautiful animal but was intimidating. We never dared go into the enclosure with out my uncle. It was always a good time on the farm. You have some beauties also. Brings back good memories.
Our Hereford bull was such a sweetheart. The Charolais was dangerous, mean just like all the other diary bulls. My dad bring them in at night and his pitchfork raised just in case he charged.
My buddy had a small Hereford farm, Bull purchased from Penn State Univ. agriculture program, good lineage. BUT I SWEAR, that bull had a sense of humor, nose ring trained, very social, never once ever scared around him. loved that Bull One day, my buddy has him on about a 20 foot lead, on nose ring...we needed to so this, as to take him from lower pasture to upper, required going through an Alfalfa field, we would have never got him out, without lead, but he would trot up behind my buddy, gently put the flat of his head, rt under my buddy's but and gently toss him about 2 feet in air, to end of lead, and did this the whole way through pasture, like he hurrying him up, after all, the upper pasture, WAS the breeding pasture, lol the bull, in winter, he so gentle you could leave in his barn pen, while cleaned, but he would maneuver you, so he was broadside to you, with wall behind you and just lean over, with just enough pressure, to pin you, trapping you, until you gave him a good scratchin', I swear, when he had you pinned, you could feel him laughing, but again, never once ever felt threatened by him
I’m from Scotland, up near the Isle of Skye, and own shorthorn cattle. We’ve only got a small herd of 13 and in the summer they go off into the hills to graze. We have to go up into the hills every day to check on them and sometimes we’ll bring them some cobs or carrots as a treat. One day I was at the bottom of a fairly steep bit of hill and I was calling our girls and I heard them calling and after a while it got closer……then the ground started vibrating! The girls were so happy and excited that they were running down the hill at speed and I near shat myself as they were actually jumping and twisting while running. I thought I was gonna get flattened but they all managed to stop and then did their usual nuzzling me wanting a pet while they ate their treats! If you don’t know their body language I guess it can look like they’re going mental or charging, but they’re just excited and it’s adorable!
@@Highland_Moo It’s great to hear from you, quite a picture of a far away, beautiful landscape appeared in my mind as I read your comment. I too can really read the cows body language usually. This video was early on in my relationship with the bull but I eventually figured him out. I hope you check out some of our other videos. Keep the comments coming.👍
My god, they're beautiful, cows are funny, not sure what's in that roll that make them go nuts, thx for the vid, entertaining, good job shooting the video, daughter😊
Look good, hay Good They bored Bulls built up, resistens over time So if you are irritated, or even violent They get you, so you behave calm Carrying, and always food, And never kids around, or turist ❤
Maybe he's just itchy? Ever see those cow itcher contraption thingies I see them setting up in the stalls or whatever? Maybe the hay when its all bundled up like that, has this certain grit that this bull likes? merely a thought from a non farmer here. Anyhow, great video from your farm and thank you! Subscribed!
Loved your video. Your daughter is doing a great job. I agree with many of the comments about the bull just being a bit frisky. Of course that could change in an instant. I grew up on a farm with Black Angus and a couple of mixed cows that had been raised from calves and were very tame. We could walk up to their calves and play with them as much as we wanted and they didn't care (not so with the Angus calves). What your video reminded me of was that the two pet cows just loved to have their forehead scratched. We would grab them around the neck with one arm and with the other hand double up our fist and rub our knuckles up and down their foreheads. They just loved it. Your bull looks like he would enjoy it also. Well maybe! LOL
Yes, you’re right he does love a good head scratching and is not some crazed beast. Many earlier comments wanted me to get rid of him but he actually is quite calm! He likes grass clippings and garden veggies at the fence line and that’s when we see what a softy he is!
Farmers, Cowboys, they are all hot!!! I’m sure that goes for the women too!!! Wish I had the strength, grit and fortitude as the amazing humans!!! So grateful for your videos!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great cattle, great stuff your feeding. Yep. Been their. I've noticed that the cows ain't bothered. What Mr. Bull is doing us claiming the bale. Just showing off to his cows.
My father raised registered polled Herefords; I showed them a few times when I was kid. I still miss them,, but it was such hard work.. Such a beautiful animals, and my Dad's cattle were very healthy. Have always wanted to go to Hereford.
This so vool to watch! Im learning alot about farmong and how you takw care of the livestock. Theyre so cute yhe eay they do their happy dance for that hay yum yum 😋
I did tree work for years and we would dump our wood chips in the cow fields and boy did they go crazy rolling all over the place on them.never knew why they liked it so much
@@frankieelder3210 I should have realized.were I'm from black bears use the telephone poles to scratch back.they also claw the hell out of them like a cat.
I think he's just goofin with! He just looks frisky and playful to me. Even a couple of the girls was hopping around. Hedidnt seem aggressive at all,just being being dorky! When you hollered at him hopped to! No real aggression apparent to me. Nice video. I started working for farmers in 09 and we had registered red Angus. I loved the bulls,they were all sweet tempered and so playful they were like 2500 pound puppies! Miss them,not the cows though! Them broads didn't like me!
If your bull was in a bad mood you think that you'd have lasted long if you got off the tractor? I think he's fooling around and asserting his place in the herd, as well as having a scratch.
I grew up on a farm also we raised only Herefords for the freezer I personally think it’s the best tasting and the hereford bull’s were always so calm and docile not like some of our Holstein’s which you never turned your back on them. Nice cattle you have there.
He isn’t angry, he just wants to play and have a scratch. What a cute bull, he is gorgeous.Good video :)
His nickname might be Scratcho.

No way. He's saying "Look ladies, he was driving off but I stopped him and got food" and they are saying. "Ohhh Big Business you are the mostest." I bet there were calves in the making that night. Go boy....
He’s a happy boy and excited to get his food. You have a healthy, happy and very nice looking herd. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
He's not angry just anxious to get some new feed. If he was ticked he would destroy your lite feeders. Cheers, Billy in B.C., Canada

They are delicious too❤

The dog started off excited and then the bull and other cattle were excited and playful. Everyone looked happy and content
Dog to bull: "Okay. Enough messin' around. Move so the tractor can get through."
Bull: "Okay. I'll mooooooove."
So appreciative for the hard work, risk, and determination of those who are engaged in agriculture.
I can't help noticing you have a happy and obedient herd! Much love to you and your family from Los Angeles!

Not a pure Heeler AT ALL. Obviously half something else.
Ha Ha, didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing it out. The Bull is about 50 times his size, but the dog is like 'Hey, get out of the way!'.
The Bull would move regardless, a cow with a calf is far more likely to charge than a bull ever will.
It is so nice to see the farm animals enjoying something in their life!
Beautiful cattle 😍 The bull’s having fun. He’s excited 😊
I thnk he's smart enough to recognize there's webbing outside the hay and he's trying to remove it.
@@mscir not necessarily, I’ve seen other bulls do that on accessible hay!!! 🤪

Absolutely right! Scratch his head!
Awww we had a Hereford bull on our family farm here in the UK when I was a child, loved him! He was such a gentleman as long as he was fed 😆
aren't we all happy when we are well fed.

Not sure if you already have one but it looks like a big round brush on a pole in the paddock might be enjoyed by your herd - especially the bull!
that's what I was thinking, man, that's one itchy bull! (and frisky, but the itchy, it'd be nice to help him out with that imo) and they sure do love those scratchers when you put them in...
You got it! Bully there isn't angry, he's jealous and wants that bail to himself, the gorgeous beast!
bull just showing who is the BOSS by trying to open the round for his pals, love the cows and love that bull... OK you're the Boss ya big softy
Clever Bull, he's excited and also trying to rub the bale wrap off - to get to the hay. He stops doing it once it's removed.
No.. Have you ever been around cows? They're always trying to scratch their heads, it's rather obvious. Of course he stopped once it's removed because he's scratching his head on the netting.

Our Hereford bull was such a sweetheart. The Charolais was dangerous, mean just like all the other diary bulls. My dad bring them in at night and his pitchfork raised just in case he charged.
Clifford The Big Red Dog!
Bulls love to wrestle with anything their size or larger. Nice looking cattle. Well kept.
Awesome looking bull !! We had one like him that would push a 1070 Case tractor side ways when putting a bale in. He was a mess.
My buddy had a small Hereford farm, Bull purchased from Penn State Univ. agriculture program, good lineage.
BUT I SWEAR, that bull had a sense of humor, nose ring trained, very social, never once ever scared around him. loved that Bull
One day, my buddy has him on about a 20 foot lead, on nose ring...we needed to so this, as to take him from lower pasture to upper, required going through an Alfalfa field, we would have never got him out, without lead, but he would trot up behind my buddy, gently put the flat of his head, rt under my buddy's but and gently toss him about 2 feet in air, to end of lead, and did this the whole way through pasture, like he hurrying him up, after all, the upper pasture, WAS the breeding pasture, lol
the bull, in winter, he so gentle you could leave in his barn pen, while cleaned, but he would maneuver you, so he was broadside to you, with wall behind you and just lean over, with just enough pressure, to pin you, trapping you, until you gave him a good scratchin', I swear, when he had you pinned, you could feel him laughing, but again, never once ever felt threatened by him
What a beautiful bull pole herfords are gorgeous cattle
They look very happy,good job man much respect.
Awe he's just having some fun, you can see he is happy and frisky, likes to play lol he's cute. I've lived and worked on farms, see it before lol
They were so Happy! They made me happy! They wanted to scratch against something. Great video Happy cattle.
Love that working dog. Apparently the bull knows the dog won't take any BULL!!
I’m from Scotland, up near the Isle of Skye, and own shorthorn cattle. We’ve only got a small herd of 13 and in the summer they go off into the hills to graze. We have to go up into the hills every day to check on them and sometimes we’ll bring them some cobs or carrots as a treat. One day I was at the bottom of a fairly steep bit of hill and I was calling our girls and I heard them calling and after a while it got closer……then the ground started vibrating! The girls were so happy and excited that they were running down the hill at speed and I near shat myself as they were actually jumping and twisting while running. I thought I was gonna get flattened but they all managed to stop and then did their usual nuzzling me wanting a pet while they ate their treats! If you don’t know their body language I guess it can look like they’re going mental or charging, but they’re just excited and it’s adorable!
@@Highland_Moo It’s great to hear from you, quite a picture of a far away, beautiful landscape appeared in my mind as I read your comment. I too can really read the cows body language usually. This video was early on in my relationship with the bull but I eventually figured him out. I hope you check out some of our other videos. Keep the comments coming.👍
Look how happy they are 🥰
My god, they're beautiful, cows are funny, not sure what's in that roll that make them go nuts, thx for the vid, entertaining, good job shooting the video, daughter😊
I can see how city people watch this an think farming must be the life. It’s not just put out one bale a day then go to the house
Don't forget bruises, broken ribs, bites, kicks, etc, and coming home covered in mud and "fertilizer" and...etc...
❤ im educated
Farm
Recommend that, they not waiting for food
And some, lines of before you drive in
And, they joyful, playing
Look good, hay Good
They bored
Bulls built up, resistens over time
So if you are irritated, or even violent
They get you, so you behave calm
Carrying, and always food,
And never kids around, or turist ❤
Entire ground: *Hay*
Cow: Feed me some proper hay!
Maybe he's just itchy? Ever see those cow itcher contraption thingies I see them setting up in the stalls or whatever? Maybe the hay when its all bundled up like that, has this certain grit that this bull likes? merely a thought from a non farmer here. Anyhow, great video from your farm and thank you! Subscribed!
Yes, he's just scratching and feeling good.
He isn't angry, he is so happy and excited!!! So, he gets goofy!
Loved your video. Your daughter is doing a great job.
I agree with many of the comments about the bull just being a bit frisky. Of course that could change in an instant. I grew up on a farm with Black Angus and a couple of mixed cows that had been raised from calves and were very tame. We could walk up to their calves and play with them as much as we wanted and they didn't care (not so with the Angus calves). What your video reminded me of was that the two pet cows just loved to have their forehead scratched. We would grab them around the neck with one arm and with the other hand double up our fist and rub our knuckles up and down their foreheads. They just loved it. Your bull looks like he would enjoy it also. Well maybe! LOL
Yes, you’re right he does love a good head scratching and is not some crazed beast. Many earlier comments wanted me to get rid of him but he actually is quite calm! He likes grass clippings and garden veggies at the fence line and that’s when we see what a softy he is!
Those are some happy cows, and bull. 😊
Your cattle are looking really well.
Thank you for sharing.
The real boss is that well fed Kelpie!
Your heeler is in heaven.
Great camera work, and the music was a good fit too.
Thank you for this video. I hope we can make the bale wrapping out of jute or hemp so it biodegrades and isn't a plastic problem.
Our herfords bull was anxiety mischief he was beautiful too
Farmers, Cowboys, they are all hot!!! I’m sure that goes for the women too!!! Wish I had the strength, grit and fortitude as the amazing humans!!! So grateful for your videos!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I love Herefords! My favourite breed of cattle!
Beautiful Animals you have sir.
Just playing, he's in a good mood
Yes God bless all you hard working farmers ❤🙏✝️😇 we sure appreciate you big time!
I'm impressed with your herd, obvious they get good care.
Some fine looking livestock. Nice and clean and well kept.
Great cattle, great stuff your feeding. Yep. Been their. I've noticed that the cows ain't bothered. What Mr. Bull is doing us claiming the bale. Just showing off to his cows.
They are all so frisky.
Bin wear?
Isn’t he just loving a good head rub? Very good filming!
The bull is just being a bull. Just getting excited at feeding time. Most of them do that
Loyal ol' hound dog follows his master everywhere.
Having spent many years living in Hereford, where this breed comes from, they do this quite often. It's just itchy head, he's having a scratch. 😏
That's just the way us Hereford boys behave lol
My father raised registered polled Herefords; I showed them a few times when I was kid. I still miss them,, but it was such hard work.. Such a beautiful animals, and my Dad's cattle were very healthy. Have always wanted to go to Hereford.
This so vool to watch! Im learning alot about farmong and how you takw care of the livestock. Theyre so cute yhe eay they do their happy dance for that hay yum yum 😋
I did tree work for years and we would dump our wood chips in the cow fields and boy did they go crazy rolling all over the place on them.never knew why they liked it so much
Scratch that itch, just like you scratching your back against a telephone pole.
@@frankieelder3210 I should have realized.were I'm from black bears use the telephone poles to scratch back.they also claw the hell out of them like a cat.
rand quadrozzi Roger that.
Love Hereford bulls. Handsome guys. Thank you.
I think he's just goofin with! He just looks frisky and playful to me. Even a couple of the girls was hopping around. Hedidnt seem aggressive at all,just being being dorky! When you hollered at him hopped to! No real aggression apparent to me.
Nice video. I started working for farmers in 09 and we had registered red Angus. I loved the bulls,they were all sweet tempered and so playful they were like 2500 pound puppies! Miss them,not the cows though! Them broads didn't like me!
If your bull was in a bad mood you think that you'd have lasted long if you got off the tractor? I think he's fooling around and asserting his place in the herd, as well as having a scratch.
read your own comment again...
I know book learnin is mighty hard for yall yokels
… was he trying to help you out and get the wrap off for the ladies ? … what a gent 😂👍🏼
I grew up on a farm also we raised only Herefords for the freezer I personally think it’s the best tasting and the hereford bull’s were always so calm and docile not like some of our Holstein’s which you never turned your back on them. Nice cattle you have there.
I love how the dog is supervising everyone. 🤣🤣🤣
god bless all of the farmers.it's not an easy job!!
😊😊 Good Morning 🙏 🌄 from Port Hueneme, CA. I do enjoy watching your show.
@@teresabalogh8440 Good morning to you. Thanks for watching.
