I worked for 4 winters backgrounding calves for a friend of mine so when you have a video like this it sure makes me think of times gone by. Paul from Alberta Canada.
It goes against everything everyone says about checking while or right after the feed wagons gone by, but I find more sick ones after they've had a couple hours to eat. They're way more relaxed and if you can get a better look at more of them. Lots of early sick ones will still go to the feed wagon, so let them and get em after.
@@lthorsemanship8150 I'll agree with that. The "easy" to spot one's show up while the feed wagon is Rollin, but you're right, a guy that spends time when they're relaxed in the pen will dang sure find them a bit earlier! Happy to have you watching!
Good video! I continue to enjoy your content, Luke seems interested in working with you and I believe you two make a good pair. Be safe on your current job!
@chadlake3590 on good years the high desert can give some really nice calves. Some deserts produce better calves than others, for sure. In this video, the black calves were outside on the desert as pairs, and the red calves were inside on pasture as pairs.
Hey, first off, continue to really enjoy watching your channel. Second, thank you for sharing your faith through the Bible verses, etc you share! Lastly, if you don’t mind me asking, what size/dimensions are your pens? I’m thinking about building a small feedlot and am wondering how big to make my pens. Thank you, BLESSINGS!!!
@@dancallister8314 you're welcome dan!! When I get back home from day working this week, I'll have a conversation with my boss about pen size. Either I'll reply to this comment with my answers or I'll make part of a video about it for you.
@@giovanimunoz7575 each calf acts a little different when healing up from footrot. She healed up a bit slower than I expected. She still has a slight limp as of a few days ago, but feels good enough to run and be goofy with the other heifers in the pen. There's alot of factors as to when we would retreat her. Usually they start improving within the first week, some come along alot faster than others. If there was no improvement after a few weeks, we'd look into a 2nd treatment. As with so many things in cattle "it depends"
Great video bro thanks for sharing .

Thanks Woodrow!
Good day today, got some fun stuff for you to watch.
Those are some nice sets of calves...wasnt expecting to see that in that country.
@chadlake3590 Nevada has a lot of things people don't expect. But we kinda like it that way, the state won't become over populated.
@@roobucknevada4749 i just thought a lot of the cattle in big high desert country wouldnt wean off that even and in that condition.

how long would you wait to doctor the calf with foot rot again if she didn’t get better ?

My wife and I did the same thing. Let the car idle and the kids will just sleep. Turn the car off and they would instantly wake up. And…..Amen
