    I grew up on a dairy when I was a teenager and early 20’s. In my early 40’s my foot started hurting so I went to the foot doctor and he said where I broke my foot did not heal back correctly. I said I’ve never broken that foot and he said I’ve broken it twice. I know how much a full grown Holstein weighs when she standing on top of your foot so I felt your pain. Thanks for your vids, I drink my morning coffee with them.

    Great video-good way to start the new year!
    Folks who’ve never worked with 1500 lb animals don’t realize how dangerous even a docile-looking animal can be. A cow with a mind of its own is a formidable critter.
    I never got kicked by a cow, but I got my foot stepped on by a horse. All it takes is once to learn to not let your mind wander when working with big animals!

    As a country boy I grew up milking. One of the first things I learned was, “ A cow has to cock it leg to kick you.” Literally a cow’s leg Must travel forward to kick backwards. Still I received numerous kicks through the years. I just always hoped it would be by the Hoover and not the dew claw. Those dew claws can and do skin you upp, often through a pair of jeans.

  • @royaltutranch

    I love how calm you are around the cattle. A tough skill for some to learn. My 2 cents? Life’s too short for big wild cows. If they can’t be trusted in a pasture, get rid of em. Buy some smaller, more gentle replacements. 1000lbs is plenty big enough for a cow.

I need to invest in a nicer handling setup like you’ve got. I recently moved about 50 beef cows 1000 miles. I sold all the girls with a bad attitude and those hard on fences before the move.

    Fence breakers and mean cows go to our winter pasture, the sale yard. Cattle are just like us, for the most part pretty docile but crowd their personal space or make them go where they don't know where they are going, they can become very dangerous. The number 20 shown is like one of our calm cows as we have had cows hit the squeeze chute so hard, we worried about the welds holding.
