Philippians 4:6 - "Worry about nothing, pray about everything. Ask God for what you need, and thank him for all he has given you."
An old rancher once told me: If you have livestock, you also have deadstock.
Paul Jefferson Ain’t that the damn truth
So true
So true. :(
It was still a rescue mission. Got to save the mama. She’ll live to have more in the future. You did the best you could have done.
Definitely heartbreaking. My daughter and son-in-law lost 2 newborn calves during that horrible artic storm. One died right after birth. The other one lived for 2 days. He couldn't stand to nurse because both hind legs were turned a little at the hooves. They tube feed him in the house by the fireplace to keep him warm until the vet's office opened. The vet gave him 5 different meds and he was looking better. They made him brace supports for both hind legs so he could stand. They tried to get him up to nurse and he passed away. It was a very sad time for all of the family. To make it worse both mamas were calling and crying for their dead babies. They didn't understand the calves passed away and were trying to find their babies. Man, it's hard to even talk about it.
Losing a baby calf hurts. Been there, done that. It’s good you have your health and support for each other. Our two sons lost their lives, and that took the heart out of farming. God was there, in our lowest times. Keep praying
When I was young my grandpa had a cow in labor and a bad storm was coming so he had my brothers and sister help look for her. He was so worried about that cow. We found her the next day in a swollen creek with the calf half out of her but she had drowned and the calf was dead too. Man I will never ever forget that horrible scene and my grandpa crying.
Hard to experience and I’m so sorry for you and the cow and calf.
I grew up on a family farm and, every time there was stock loss, it would really bother me. That's when my Grandpap John would always say 'we tried our best but when the going gets tough, the tough get going...buck it up lad because life goes on.' Hats off to both of you for doing what you could do with a tough situation! Stay safe - be well.
It really sucks when you lose a calf, cow, bull, especially a dog. But these things happen and you tried your best. Sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. It usually takes us a day or two to get over the loss as animals are living creatures and we care for them. Sorry for your loss.
To me that is one of the saddest things to deal with is losing a calf. Lost one recently to a flash flood. You grieve over it, take care of it and move on.
So sorry about the calf. Anyone who thinks that farmers are heartless are themselves heartless.
Agreed
Absolutely
Even human beings have stillborns now and then... always sad... You guys did your best and you saved mama... good job!
You and your dad have such a great relationship ❤️
They really do! You can feel the love ❤
Sorry for the loss guys, but your loss provided valuable information for all of us, so there is a positive side to it. On the flip side, our farm had it’s first calf born today.👍🏻 thanks for sharing
Hey NCOG! Congrats on Lila's baby. Is he able to nurse yet? Good to see other UA-cam people supporting one another. ✌️❤️
Thanks guys!
Vegas Gurl ! You bet, I just found this channel, and enjoy it.
Yes they both figured it out. Nursing calf and protective momma👍🏻. Be watching, he got a great name! 😂😉
To see how farmers grieve their losses is an experience we all need to see.
Your cattle are cared for better than many children. Sad
My uncle raised cattle for all his life. Every year it seemd he lost a calf or two died its a sad fact , lots of times he got twins and was able to pair one to one that lost hers.
Your Dad is quite the character.
“Boss, boss de plane, de plane !” That comment is from the show : Fantacy Island ! It came on right after the Love Boat show. I watched it all the time when I was a kid !
Beef prices at the store are up
Cattle market prices still aren't.
Something needs to give to the farmers.
The packing plants and buyers are killing us but lining pockets buy your meat from the rancher instead ove the store
@Weaver Cattle Company thears no doubt about it the packing plants totally control the market but the ? Is how many pople know that when I tell them thear dumbfounded and thear trying to do the same thing in the goat market as well best advice I can give is get dept free so you can control your own destiny and not half to answer to a bank they got a lot to do with the mess ass well I'm luck I who no money told the buyers to stick hoping get stuff sold off the place instead ove sale barn or buyer
That’s why we buy from a butcher who buys local or raise our own, would love to have one of sonne farms angus claves unfortunately logistically it would not be feasible
Buy direct. There are plenty of good reputable farms around to do this for all your needs. Meat, dairy, poultry, veggies, etc. buy direct! Save the farms. It may cost you more but in the end it’ll save your health, so isn’t it worth the costs?
Sorry for the loss of the calf. Stay safe in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully we all will be able to put this behind us soon
Sorry about that guys. Cole Love how dad helps you with narration ! 👍👍
Sorry about the loss of the calf,hopefully the cow will do OK.You and your dad really do take good care of your cattle-I can see that by the way they look.
Always great to hear from you Frank!
You said it bothers you for quite awhile, that’s why it’s called animal HUSBANDRY.
I am from South Dakota but have been in California the last 30yrs. Been watching all the farmers on youtube since were on quarantine. Not only do you feed us now you are my main entertainment. What can't farmers do !! THANK YOU !! May God bless your planting season
It’s always worth it to watch to the very end!!! Loved it!!!
You and your Dad are PRICELESS! May your days be brighter and your farm continue to prosper, THANK YOU for providing for us🐄🐄👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Gents, You did what was needed to do. Stay strong together ! Warm greetings
I love how you have so many cattle yet each and every one matters 💜
I am sorry that happened. Losing animals is always a hard thing. I hope things get better for you all. Prayers for you and your farm.
Those of us who have raised livestock, have all been there. Sad, but, life has to go on. I had to have my dear corgi dog put to sleep last week, i tried everything with his vet, but, it was of no use, he had been with me for 12 years.Hope things get better for you all.
Farming ain't for the weak, and that's for sure.
Brian and Cole, great video. People who have never been involved in Agriculture have no idea what you guys go through. I think our dad did a great job talking about staying safe and healthy during this difficult situation we're in. Take care & God Bless you guys!
And these, so called "animal rights" activists, say that OUR farmers don't love their animals. They need to be there watching you push a calf back in, if to do nothing else, but to save the life of the mother. How many lives have the two of you saved, being there to help mother nature. Man is also an animal on this planet. We're just as much part of this ecosystem as these cows are. They're here to save us, just as much as we're here to save them.
When i was growing up my mom was able to look out the kitchen window and give us a call if we were in the field if a cow needed help. We had cb radios before cell phones. Dad had 60 cows. I bet in 50 years she saved an entire calf crop if you added them all together. She was 100% invested in the farm. She was the finest farm wife I ever knew. Cleaned farrowing crates every day so we could stay in field.
@@briansonne814 You, me, and your parents know the truth. Whether the others want to admit or not, it doesn't change the truth.
@@anderleof Hold my beer..
@@anderleof but also if they survive birth they are cared for and treated with respect until that happens. Believe me when i am trying to save a calf i am not thinking about the money.
I have just started to watch your videos. Sorry about the calf. At least you saved the mama. It is good that you show what it is like on a working farm. Life is not always sunshine and roses.
Understood you guys are the professionals and I’m glad you share all aspects of the farming life good and bad.
Thanks 👍
Thank you for all you do. It takes special people to do what you do. Most think their meat and milk come from the store, but it comes from the farmers who work 24/7 in all kinds of weather. Your hero’s too!
Your family is blessed to have your father showing you the best way to live. Oh thanks for the videos I love them. Your father reminds me of my father bless his soul🙏
God bless you for having a heart for all your animals xxx
Brothers in arms!
The most valuable thing you two have is character. That's why I watch you videos first.
Prayers for you and your family for the loss of the calf. I was so sadden at the time you and your dad were working on her but all in all she will have more.
:( I'm so sorry, tremendous loss for the ranch. Hope Mama does well after all of this.
You make some really good videos. My uncle is a farmer/rancher in Willow Lake, SD and my dad and I raise cattle in north Texas. I can tell you without a doubt ranching is a lot easier in TX but it takes a lot more land to make a living here.
Sorry to hear you lost the calf, but Mom is safe and healthy. This is farming. Love you guys. 🥰♥️💞🌽
So sorry for your loss of calf.🌹Thank you for sharing and explaining.
Great video. Thanks for sharing the ups and downs of farming.
I like how you guys farm with compassion. Death is always ugly with an animal or people. God bless you guys.
Farmers have real wisdom because they manage life in a way that makes them see The Creator more clearly...
?
Your father is hilarious!!!! I'm so glad he is in the video's more often. Good job fellows. Thank you for what you do.
I love watching your videos. Educational, informative, fun, interesting, important, and human. I feel like I missed something in life by not ever having lived or worked on a farm!!
I'm very sorry for your loss, truly. It's so obvious that y'all care for the animals in your care, over and above what they mean in $.
You do everything you can to keep them healthy and happy, and it shows.
Mental health of farmers and ranchers is sadly something not taken in the concern it needs to be. I'm proud of y'all for saying that things touch you emotionally, and that it takes time...
It is good to explain this to people who don't know the sorrow farmers go through. So many people think it is easy. You breed the cow and it has a baby and that is all there is too it. But sometimes it will go bad and people know that there are losses in life and you are explaining the pain you have seeing the baby die and trying to help momma deal with it also. Best of life to you.
Losing a calf is tough, but not as tough as losing a family member. We lost Mark Carriker from the "Homemade Everything" UA-cam channel last week to cancer. He was active on UA-cam until the bitter end and it was heart breaking watching him taking his fate like a real man. Keep you head up, they'll be more calves that need your help and you know more now than you did before!
Sorry about the calf, thank God the mom is ok and didn't end up with a uterine tear or worse. Hope you find a baby for her. Watch out for dem planes boss 🙂, I loved that show!.
Sorry about the calf. Any loss is hard. I’m glad you have each other to lean on in good times and bad.
On another note I’m really enjoying your videos and seeing the relationship that you share. Stay well.
Sorry for the calf. Glad mama is ok. You guys work well together!
Sorry about the loss of the baby calf. Hopefully you will find a calf for mom to raise. Father and son make a good team. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
So Sad. Hope things better in the coming months! God bless y'all.
You and your dad have big hearts and good senses of humor. Sorry for the loss and thanks for sharing even the bad parts of farming.
Ranching is not all sunshine and horseback. We feel for your loss - been there done that. Better days ahead - hope and pray!
Sadly were you have livestock you have daedstock my gramps always said. Sadly its true. You boys did all you could for the heifer and her calve. You care and look after your stock and you can't do no more. Thanks for sharing the good with the bad a real farming life. Great video
It happens. Hope the mom pulls through. You did your best.
You did what you could. We had a few stillborns and feet back- we learned how to reposition feet and pull the calf - easier to get three hands/arms inside a holstein! Prayer helps- we prayed a lot with calving and we’ll be praying for you and your farm.
So sorry for the loss of the calf. She looked like a beauty...you'll have more for sure....! Your hearts are in the right place. 💕✋ keep on keeping on.
Sorry about your loss
So sorry for the loss of one of the babies. 😟
Brian and Cole, We’ve dealt with that too, it’s tough and it sucks. Thanks for keeping it real though.
Sorry for your loss. My only experience of hard births was a foal that was stuck. It had a Blue tongue, but as soon as we pulled her out she was Lively and kneighed. Next thing was to rescue The excausted mare. We always gives The foals Milk in a bottle so they get up on their feet quicker. The Umbilical cord shall transfer The plasma for at least 5-10 min. On humans they CUT it and Steals The blood wich gives The baby strength and a start of The Immunesystem. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoy your channel. What a blessing to be able to work with your Dad! He’s a funny guy!
Sad times do occur on the farm, and we do appreciate for all the hardwork farmers do for our food source.
One thing I like about these UA-cam videos is that these are real life stories, and 80 percent of my TV time goes to watching UA-cam videos. Hollywood movies have lost my interest to real life videos from farmers.
Thanks!
but u guys saved the mom so she can have more,u and dad do great together.u do the best u can and take good care of them. God bless🙏🙏
I feel you pain. I'm so sorry 😔
So sorry that's heart breaking so sad for you hope another one has twins like you said god bless
So sorry guys. Thanks for sharing all the reality…
If the hair is starting to slip it usually means the calf has been dead for over 24hrs.
When you see cleanings before a water bag it's an emergency. The calf has started to detach from the buttons (codaleadens) wich supplies oxygen.
Always sucks loosing a calf.
Keep up the good work fellas and thank you for the videos. You educate lots of people about this important industry.
Great video man. Good luck with everything
Thanks Max!
Frank breech is butt first.....my husband a d I LOVE your episodes!! He lost his dad in 2013 unexpectedly and he was close to his dad too but his dad was MUCH quieter & introverted but a heart of gold!!
Sorry about losing the calf. Hopefully mom will be ok. Prayers are with you guys. Please be safe in these tough times. God bless all you great farmers,
We been dealing with scours in our calves, trying to keep em all alive and healthy. Love your videos, you edit them great, like the different angles and cut from scene to scene. Real work on your farm with some humor! Good stuff.
that is sad, Glad she had you around to help,, she could have died also,, great framers,,
You guys are too funny. “Don’t you knock!” 😂
love and prayers on your loss.hopefully you will get twins to make up,stay safe and love you ,see you at the next video Hugs
God bless you guys. Thanks for sharing. these are things in real life people should be aware of. Stay well friends.
Angus cows are pretty smart. We had one cow drop a calf in a timber pasture. The the cow placed the calf in a burnt out area (all black ash) and it was very hard to find the calf. We considered Angus cows with a calf was always more of a danger than angus bulls.
Sorry for your loss, Much Love As Always!!!
Brian and Cole thanks for sharing this and letting us see your humanity. Cole I'm glad the raccoons were not up there. My mother's attic was destroyed by a family of raccoons.
Sorry to hear that
I’m so sorry for everything today!! I hope the cow recovers well! I know you guys will make sure that she is as comfortable as can be! Poor thing!! 💗💗💗
Even though the loss of a calf, like you said, it could of been worse. You guys make a great team and can talk things out. But most of all we are here with you. God bless
We've been there and it hurts like hell. We always want them.all to live.😪
I imagine when you see things like that that it does upset you I am glad you made the video so people can see cattle farming is not easy thanks for the video 👍🇺🇸
So sad to lose a calf from a first time mom, we had that last year it’s sad take care cole!🚜🌽🐄🐂
The air flight hand signals 😂 great relationship your dad and you have, hope that stays around longer than the mud
The plane! Just started watching you guys. I have learned a lot already, having grown up in the city. Love the way you work together. Dad you have the same good taste in music as I do!
That’s part of farming it sucks. Sorry for your loss. 😢love the channel. ❤
Sorry Cole and pops. Hope the other mamas don’t have as many issues. Glad to hear you save the old Girl though.
You guys did a real good job with this video for what you had to work with. Life on a farm can try the best of us. Appreciate you showing the good with bad.! I enjoyed listening to your father speak. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Very sorry to hear of your loss!
Life is tough but us farmers are tougher and we will always carry on, we all have sad times on the farm and it's easy to get bogged down in the sad stuff but you just have to keep on moving forwards, you saved the heifer anyway and that's the best outcome you could of had in the situation
So sorry for your loss. Poor momma cow.
Im so sorry for the loss of the calf..I can see that you guys are good people..You are also the hardest working folks around. My parents and grandparents were all farmers or grew up on farms..I heard all their farm stories when I was kid..I am a city girl and would be lost on a farm...God bless you folks
It's always good to get those heifers walking for food or water ,gets the baby moving into the right position for calving ease ....I find it helps
I love your Dad!! What a guy!!
