Today I am getting the last of the groundwork done on the hayfield and deciding which cows are going on the cull list. Business Inquires- Farmer_tyler@hotmail.com
We had a bottle calf, it was the only cow that ever became a pet. It got to live all its years on the farm and had several calves. When she died, she got buried verses butchered. The only cow I ever remember us doing that with. Yet, she would come to her name, we could ride her, and was more like a giant dog than a cow.
@@farmertylerranch4399 I think bottle calf ought to be a keeper too, Tyler, he's just like a puppy dog (well, almost)! And he needs a good name too, whatcha think?
Tyler I admire and enjoy how you follow some time tested principles of public speaking: Tellum what you’re gonna tellum; Tellum; and Tell them what you told them! (Introduction, Presentation, Review) Keep up the great videos. Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Great video of a Ford Truck 👍 Ford Tractor👍 and a New Holland Tractor👍 putting in some work. Now that's how you make great UA-cam videos Thanks for sharing. Have a great week stay safe and have fun with the old Ford Tractor back on the ranch ready for work.
It’s called a middle buster. You can Google them and find some cheap ones for $200 so look and the money you saved and probably got a better quality implement.
very simiar but smaller then our fire plows in Florida, our plows have large wheels and plow is larger, makes a good fire line, dont forget to take the mean one, was the bottle calf the one with bad eyes, he looks great
It’s always hard to get rid of the old cows that have been on your farm for so many years. My grandpa would keep some until they were around 20 years old or so. You can easily get attached to them.
Yeah Jay you got that right. I have to remind myself sometimes that this is a business and these things have to be done. But you’re right it is definitely sad sometimes
Glad to see your bottle baby is doing good. Do you raise your own replacement heifers or do you buy them to add new bloodlines? My grandparents used to live in bakerfield i remeber going out there at christmas time ans all the rain. Amd my cousin wanting to go to the mountains to play in the snow lol. Hows mrs tyler and your baby? Thanks for sharing tyler.
We sent our first cull cow down the road this year; it was an easy decision for the fact only a quarter of her udder worked which led to a bawling baby and also for the fact she tried to take my husband out.
Thanks for the update! You know, the do make udder supports for cows! Haha! I always found the planting seasons in Northern California interesting. I was at the CG Training Center near Petaluma a while back during late fall and all the local dairies were busy planting grass. Thanks for sharing!
Nifty plow you made there. Works great! Sorry to hear your numbers are done. That's how it goes sometimes. But, they'll come back up. Every time I see that tractor working I smile. 🙂
It is always enjoyable to see how the bottle calf is doing. He's an appealing little guy. Unfortunate about the cull cows, but such is the way of farming.
Looks so warm there.... thanks for the videos love the drone footage. Please consider restraining your dogs in the back of the truck. I know you think your dogs wouldn’t jump out but dogs do that every day. Just takes the right motivation.
Definitely a DITCHER, neat implement U built with spare parts. Drone footage wins again sir! Culling animals from the herd, a must do 4 any farmer/rancher. Easier 2 remove a potential problem cow than doctor in the future. Good explanation of UR choices...👍👍👍
@@boathead22000 Believe culled animals will go to sale barn (stockyard) 4 sale, FTR has 4 steers fattening 4 slaughter Jan/Feb time frame per earlier video...
its always hard to cull cows, you think did I do the right thing?my friends have a small gentle mans farm and they raise Herfords, and they had to cull one of their cows she only has 2 teats and the last calf died ,she told me this morning Amanda was shipped, and her husband was crying, its hard on him treats his cow like children, well have a good week hugs
If you could find a used Powder River or Priefert that wasn’t beat up too bad that would be good. I’ve heard decent things about the Tarter squeeze at Tractor Supply. That’s probably the cheapest you’ll find for a new one. Blake on the channel called “Smalltown Farmer” has a Tarter you might ask him about it
Farmer Tyler...I'd rather cull the wild one ….not the big-bag cow or the lame one, Maybe, it's the Nurse in me. This was the one part of farming that I really disliked and felt sad..... :(
Every time I see cow or bull hooves I think of "The Hoof Guy" or whatever from Scotland. He repairs them not a vet but damn near needs to help the cows out of suffering. He basically is a professional "Hoof Trimmer". There have been some GNARLY SICK infected ones though. Barf. :P And I still watch them. ;)
Don't feel bad, hubby bought one, ear tag #3, as opposed to ear tag # 2 who became 2da, my bb handle atvthe time was 2 dapoint, so was known as 2da, so #3 became 3da...freda! He bought her at 150 in calf...that calf obviously paidFOR her, she was more than a little ornery..but, she "discovered" i had a habit of carrying a bucketbof alfalfa cubes(broken into flakes and black oil sunflower seeds : BOSS) so came, very quickly to be a pet and would come when called, even from the back pasture(2 50 acre pastures, bull ran with the cows, no entrance allowed!) But freda, coming to her name would get TREATS! And lived for another 2 years because of that, she was so old, her front teeth had worn down beneath the gum line! So she was probably well over 20...either way, alway threw fantastic calves, kept every heifer she dropped after i came on the scene, hasn't regretted a single one. Her last pregnancy for him she dropped a heifer, we celebrated, an hour later she laid down and pushed out a bull calf. I cried. But there are still two daughters and 3 grandaughters carryingbon her legacy in the herd. Mostly of being overly protective for the first 8 hours. 😘😉 she'd chase anyone around anything anywhere until she settled into feeling comfortable about her new baby. Made tagging and initial inoculations, interesting. Until certain "menfolk" realized that waiting for that newborn to get his first drink and mamma to get him cleaned off wasn't going to harm anyone. THEN they could safely go in snd get his tags attached, give him his inoculations and band him, if it WAS a him...do whatever recordkeeping was necessary from outside the pen afterwards...and mamma would happily chew her cud. No more dodging around poles while momma tried to send them over the fence... a little patience and understanding goes a long way to getting the job done. And is often mich healthier!
I didn't hear you call the bottle calf by name ? I bet Mrs. FTR has a name for it ,lol I'm waiting on ya to break out the steel guitar and do a riff of Van Halen or something, lol your getting pretty good on that guitar!!😉👍
Yeah no name yet. Someone thought I was calling him “Bottle Cap” so hey that might work! I’ll start working on an acoustic version of Eruption for ya! Haha thanks!
@@MRSFTR Lol, I had a good inkling you'd have a name for (calf) MC 😉 ,my wife has pretty much name all of our cow's and calves, now me , I'll call um by name or number, lol 😉
You might want to check out 'The Hoof GP'. Graeme Parker knows his stuff and has an online course available. He has sorted out a lot of foot problems for farmers. You need some tools but not necessarily a mobile crush as yours will do for your animals. Of course, if you get reasonable at it that could be another income stream.
I do not understand why you said that the Ford does not have a hydraulic pump. It should have on in the belly of the tractor and that works the 3 point hitch. It is what makes it go up and down. If you need an auxiliary valve there is a hit you can add to the top late to do that. If you are having trouble hooking the 3 point to the tractor hook the left arm first then adjust the right arm with the crank handle and attach it . Lastly hook up the top link and adjust accordingly. Hope this helps you out.
I know you have to "break eggs to make an omelet", but geeze louise, we just finished watching you smooth out the field only to run a bunch of ruts into it!! LOLOLOLOL
When will you plant the hay field? After the first rain? Didn't your lil bottle calf have pink eye? He looks pretty good. We have a pasture pet too..LOL......Nice ditcher...seems to really do the job. They are saying more wind this week....Really like the drone footage.
Thanks Robert I’m hoping the weekend after Thanksgiving to get it planted we’ll see. Yes he did have pinkeye I think he healed up pretty good. So that was you in the silver Tacoma?
@@farmertylerranch4399 That's what I remember as a boy growing up. I had cows earlier, but sold them all when we built this house...didn't want to have to worry about them as we were so busy. Got these as young heifers in 2007 after finishing the house. All are still doing good, we have our second bull since 2007, a full black angus
I've got it that you are in Northern California but what river is that that's adjacent to your operation and also what town is near by. Like you said you like to know where the vids you are watching come from. :)
Hi, I'm a new subscriber from Australia like your work. It would be helpful if you numbered your videos I've been binge-watching and it's obvious that they are out of order. Just saying.
I keep thinking about the valves on the Ford Tractor. It’s fairly common for older engines that mostly ran on the gasoline-that didn’t have the modern detergent additives-to have intake valve deposits. Fortunately, if the valves are not burned, they can be cleaned by just running with modern “top tier” gasoline. I won’t plug any brand, but stay away from “bargain brands”. That’s one of the ways they cut costs: not using the costly package of modern additives, especially detergents. Just a thought...

The only cow I ever remember us doing that with. Yet, she would come to her name, we could ride her, and was more like a giant dog than a cow.
It’s kind of looking like ours might become a pet as well!

Ok, I’m not tired of watching cows be fed. Very interesting plow. Good chat.

Haha that’s a good way to put it thanks Tim!
poor #29, a bad foot took her out of the game. Awe, the bottle calf is super friendly!

Thanks Cora, yes the bottle calf did have pinkeye but he has made a full recovery
It was nice to see Bottle Calf and ole Hank!❤🐎 Looked like Maggie and the Lab liked their ride on the wagon!

Yeah Jay you got that right. I have to remind myself sometimes that this is a business and these things have to be done. But you’re right it is definitely sad sometimes
I’ve got one of those v-plows in my barn. I was told the previous farmer used it for planting his potato rows.
Glad to see your bottle baby is doing good. Do you raise your own replacement heifers or do you buy them to add new bloodlines? My grandparents used to live in bakerfield i remeber going out there at christmas time ans all the rain. Amd my cousin wanting to go to the mountains to play in the snow lol. Hows mrs tyler and your baby? Thanks for sharing tyler.
Thanks Kory. Yes we raise our own here on the ranch. The only new genetics come from bulls. Everyone is doing good!
I always enjoy watching. Are you allowed to pump from the river in drought times?
Thanks Virginia! No there’s really no way to pump out of the river in that field.
We sent our first cull cow down the road this year; it was an easy decision for the fact only a quarter of her udder worked which led to a bawling baby and also for the fact she tried to take my husband out.
Yep that makes it much easier!
Thanks for the update! You know, the do make udder supports for cows! Haha! I always found the planting seasons in Northern California interesting. I was at the CG Training Center near Petaluma a while back during late fall and all the local dairies were busy planting grass. Thanks for sharing!
Haha maybe I need to look into that, probably get some phone calls from the neighbors!
Nifty plow you made there. Works great! Sorry to hear your numbers are done. That's how it goes sometimes. But, they'll come back up.
Every time I see that tractor working I smile. 🙂
Thanks Paulla!
I guess it's mooooving dar for those cows. Ouch. LOL Thanks for sharing.
Good to see the bottle calf. Yep cow with attitude have to go eventually. Good video.
It is always enjoyable to see how the bottle calf is doing. He's an appealing little guy.
Unfortunate about the cull cows, but such is the way of farming.
I think it's called a middle buster.
Everything seems to be looking good at the ranch and the hayfield.
Looks so warm there.... thanks for the videos love the drone footage. Please consider restraining your dogs in the back of the truck. I know you think your dogs wouldn’t jump out but dogs do that every day. Just takes the right motivation.
Thanks Shelly I appreciate the concern!
Where I live in southeast Colorado, we call that a Ditch "A"!
As always enjoy your videos very happy the battlefield calf is doing good In staying at the ranch
Plan the work, work the plan brother😀guaitar work becoming more fluid, good job!
Thanks Brian!
She need to go.
Definitely a DITCHER, neat implement U built with spare parts. Drone footage wins again sir! Culling animals from the herd, a must do 4 any farmer/rancher. Easier 2 remove a potential problem cow than doctor in the future. Good explanation of UR choices...👍👍👍
Thanks Allan you said just right!
Tyler, will the 2 culls be sold at a stock yard or will they be butchered for your own consumption ?
@@boathead22000 Believe culled animals will go to sale barn (stockyard) 4 sale, FTR has 4 steers fattening 4 slaughter Jan/Feb time frame per earlier video...
Coal Cow? What do you mean by that? I know it's cull the herd. But I don't know the meaning of "Coal" in this reference
It’s “Cull Cow” as in, a cow that is being culled (removed and sold) from the herd. Sorry for the confusion!
its always hard to cull cows, you think did I do the right thing?my friends have a small gentle mans farm and they raise Herfords, and they had to cull one of their cows she only has 2 teats and the last calf died ,she told me this morning Amanda was shipped, and her husband was crying, its hard on him treats his cow like children, well have a good week hugs
Love this video! Love seeing your cows and horse! I never get tired seeing your animals!
Single bottom plow / or potato plow. I'd call it a ditch plow lol. PS. thank god no one wants to send me to the butcher for hanging low lol
Hahahaha!
Can you recommend a squeeze chute that is economical and works well for a small farm?
If you could find a used Powder River or Priefert that wasn’t beat up too bad that would be good. I’ve heard decent things about the Tarter squeeze at Tractor Supply. That’s probably the cheapest you’ll find for a new one. Blake on the channel called “Smalltown Farmer” has a Tarter you might ask him about it
Call it your trough plow
sorry guys ya gotta go so new life will bring better numbers hugssssss from Ontario Canada
Thanks Tammy!
Did you look at her foot to see if it's her hoof? Are the numbers down because of the ones that got sick?
Yes I’ve looked her over pretty close. It’s something internal. And yes it’s because of the ones we lost this summer
Farmer Tyler...I'd rather cull the wild one ….not the big-bag cow or the lame one, Maybe, it's the Nurse in me. This was the one part of farming that I really disliked and felt sad..... :(
Yes I don’t like culling but it’s necessary. I know you understand
@@farmertylerranch4399 Yes Farmer Tyler, I do understand...it's a necessary process.... :)

Might wanna start retaining some calves or your gonna run outta cows. Lol
