Odd Problems We Had on The Ranch in January and Questions for Our Viewers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2024
- It’s been an abnormally warm January this year. In this video I take the time to discuss some of the problems that warm weather can bring to the ranch. Also we are looking for a little bit of feedback from our viewers about a few questions we have.
Film what you want. I am learning to homestead, so I watch a variety of content like yours and FTR. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the comment! I’ll try and keep them coming
It's your channel do as you see fit. I like all content. Especially the welding and fabrication side of it.
Great job cattle looking great.
Yes it's not the greatest when it thaws and freezes.
Thanks! I do have a couple welding projects I’d like to get done once things warm up a bit.
You do what YOU want with your videos. This is your channel. I did like seeing you working with your little boy. It's hard for me to comprehend the cold and snow that you and your livestock have to endure. I'm in Southern Middle Tennessee. Two weeks ago we had 8 inches of snow that hung around for 8 days. That was 8 days of sub freezing temps. It was rough. Our land is not flat like yours. We have hills and hollows and acres and acres of trees. Now it's been raining for days and is staying in the 50s and low 60s both day and night. That's Tennessee for you. I do find that your calf shelters are a wonderful idea. Do all ranchers in your area use them?
A lot of ranchers in our area seem to have calf shelters. Some of the bigger ranchers have buildings they calve in also. Thanks for the comment! Hopefully things aren’t getting too muddy for you guys over there!
I enjoy your videos- I watch them to get an insight on the daily life of farmers so even if they seem repetitive, they are still entertaining. Please continue to do what you are doing.....if you are able to put out more content great........if not, we appreciate your efforts all the same.
👍🏼
Thanks! It’s good to hear that so many are so understanding!
Things I would be interested in seeing, Video ideas. A look around your outbuildings and how you use them, some history of your family and how long your family has been in the area. maybe show us some of the equipment you use and how it works, It would be interesting to know more about the livestock how long you generally keep each animal before they go to market maybe more info on the feeds ect, why you choose a certain breed over another. I appreciate your videos and one a week is great.
Thanks Dave in Utah
Thanks Dave! Those are all great ideas. I’ve been really interested in doing a video on our family history and how we got to ranch here. Some history of the area would be interesting too.
As a rancher with kids and a full time job Bryan I'd say your one good quality video a week is solid. You're the hardest working guy on UA-cam so adding more to the plate I think would be to much. Just my 2 cents but you do you! Your videos are better and better each time and love all the details and mad respect for all you do while being a Dad and filming it all. ESPECIALLY while calving in a white out in Jan!!! Those of us that live in the cold know how motivated you gotta be to get up at all times of the night to tend to calves and filming it all is impressive. So keep up the good work and with time more followers will catch on and then get enough people watching maybe you can lighten the load with your other job and just ranch and film. I personally love building and fabricating so watching you make things around the ranch is awesome and lots of ideas are born watching a lot of these channels. Watching your son climb fences and hang out with Dad is and be a ranch kid is a kick too! Love the channel! Take care and good luck with calving!
Thanks for the detailed comment! I appreciate all the compliments also haha. That’s the dream, to be able to just ranch full
time and I’ve hoped UA-cam could help me get there! I know I will love looking back on these videos one day and seeing my young kids in them, it’s almost like a family journal. Once again thanks for the comment!
I love your daily life videos, and some more trucking videos would be nice..keep doing what you are doing..
Thanks for the feedback!
Love the channel. Love watching care of the cows.
I’m glad you are enjoying the channel so far!
Put out the content you want. I enjoy seeing you work calves and cow. I really enjoy all the scenery with all three snow. We don’t get that much snow here in SE Missouri so I enjoy the snow. I’d like to see you doing more fabrication in your shop. I’m an Ag teacher, we make cattle panels, hay bale feeders, etc in our HS Ag classes so I really enjoy watching others fabricate.
I enjoy the content more than getting the perfect shot when filming. If you put out two a week, I know it still takes a lot of time, but I’ll watch even if the “quality” of filming is down.
That being said it’s your channel and I’ll still watch whatever you do. 👍
Thanks for all the feedback! I do have a couple of shop projects I’d like to get started on once it warms up a bit. Our shop isn’t heated so my ambition to be out there welding alot isn’t too high in the winter. Since we’ve started calving all that’s taken a back seat anyway. Thanks for the comment!
Morning Bryan and Ellis! I agree with reading the comments below, keep your own course! I look forward to and enjoy whatever you post. Great to see you over 10K subscribers! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Bob! I always appreciate your encouragement! It was exciting to hit that milestone! On to the next one!
I do look for your videos but i also realize how much time it takes to make a good one. I appreciate the way you include Ellis and the situations you find yourself in and the remedies for them. That thawing stuff can become a problem for sure, going through it once in March usually is headache enough never mind twice or three times a year. Winters back here certainly aren't near what they use to be so far as cold and snow goes. I never minded the cold at least it tightened everything up for a spell you knew mud season had to come sooner or later but you delt with it then as the old timers say it is what is deal with it. LoL Stay safe take care
Thanks for the comment George! I agree about the cold. I’d rather it be cold and snowy rather than wet and muddy. Things have cooled back down this week and we’ve started getting more snow. Good to hear from you!
I like the videos you have been doing. Only thing I would suggest is more of the stuff like today's plowing and getting that truck and trailer ready or how you keep things going there on the ranch. Number wise I am like you quality over quantity. Perhaps work on a special one combining the backend jobs of keeping the ranch going and dump it in every month or so. But even there I would say keep your original video types to the quality they are as a priority. Either way just know we like what you are already doing we are just interested in knowing more of the efforts behind what you are showing us.
Thanks for the comment! You gave me plenty of good ideas! Thanks for the support also
As far as I'm concerned don't change anything!! It's all good!! God Bless!!
Thanks!
I’m here for your content on your schedule.
Thanks for feedback!
great video as always love watching your stuff
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed our videos so far!
I love seeing all those calves….. With the winter thaw it’s really quite a job to keep the cows dry…Great videos…
When things start melting it brings up all sorts of other challenges. We are finally starting to warm here so things are getting really sloppy now. Thanks for watching!
Enjoying your videos watching here in Somerset UK. As a cattle breeder myself I am interested in the economics of your operation, how you sell your cattle and when. How you deal with predators.( we don’t have any cattle predators here) and what problems you have and how you deal with them. Please keep them coming.
Thanks for all the feedback! We are lucky so far we don’t have too many predators to worry about either. We do have alot of coyotes around but they seem to leave us alone for the most part. When we go up on the forest in the summer there are chances to have encounters with wolves and bears but they haven’t been much of a problem here on our range permits yet.
Love the vids brother do what you can do we all understand I’ll watch whatever you put out
Thanks for your input! Happy to hear you enjoy our videos!
Maybe you've already done this, but I think people would love to hear your story. Tell us why you get up day after day doing the same routine chores. Why do you do what you do instead of sitting in a cubicle? Why continue putting up with all the snow? Also what goals do you have for the farm? Would you ever branch out to other livestock? What do you make of the economy and the future of beef consumption for the next generation? It would be interesting to hear your take on all the hot topics that other ranchers and homesteaders are commenting on, or even a "reaction" style video of you watching more popular videos. Some of those guys are so phony and you are so authentic that it would be interesting to get your take on things.
I think you probably put a lot of those answers into your other videos, but I think you would get some good feedback on a video about you and your family if you decided to share those things.
Like so many others have said, do what you want and the virtual audience will show up. These are just ideas, if you like any of them try it out and we will all be along for the ride.
Thanks for all the ideas Taylor! I like quite a few of them. You definitely threw alot of them out there. Hope you guys enjoy your beef!
I think you are doing great. I changed my UA-cam deal a couple of months ago. Used to be Chris Evans guns horses ranching. I have split it into 2 channels badlands ballistics for gun reviews and 10 cow ranch for ranching content. I have been trying to do 2 videos a week on both channels. I feel the same as you this time of year is pretty much the same stuff day to day. Keep up the good work Good luck with calving season
Thanks! Trying to do 2 videos a week per channel would be really tough!
The problem is coming up with something interesting on the ranch side. Yes we feed cows everyday and other small things not really worthy of a video. I might still try 2 videos a week on the guns channel. I have lots of gun projects. It is more time consuming than a guy realizes . @@LuthiRanchWY
I agree! It takes up alot more time than you would think. Between all the videoing and editing it can easily be another part time job.
Great video Bryan
Thank you!
It is your channel and I watch because it’s your day to day activities, not mine. I grew up on a ranch but your geography and weather is so different from ours, I like to see the variation across the USA.
I don’t like the background music unless it’s a channel with a drone but again, your channel!
Watching son plow/shovel snow was nice! I’m going to enjoy him a whole lot more in 2-3 years when he’s in the middle of everything. My helper is now 22 and I miss the days of him helping me!
Will the slough clearing this early help minimize spring flooding?
Hey Wayne! Thanks for all the feedback, I do appreciate it! If it stays warm like it has and we have a gradual warm up this spring we shouldn’t have to worry too much about flooding. What gets us is when it goes from 30 degrees to 60 degrees in a week haha
Comment disappeared or was...
I used a bombardier with a blade and other attachments.
If you had one you would see how useful the unit is and a great asset to the farm life. I'd never be with out one.
When you say bombardier what do you mean? I mostly only know bombardier as a brand that make recreational vehicles like 4 wheelers and snow mobiles
Been enjoying your content. Your work is very hard and you are still able to give us good camera angles and excellent editing. It’s an extra effort, that’s for sure. For me, I got pulled into your channel because I am an amateur metal fabricator. I get into the mechanical aspects of your operation. I am also fascinated by the science and art of cattle ranching. What is your support structure like? How and where do you source your feed, hardware, parts, and other resources to run the ranch? Your family history would be an interesting topic as well. Keep up the great work and hope you are able to prosper and grow.
Thank you! All great ideas and topics to touch on!
Do what ever u want 1 or 2 . Don't burn yourself out though. I like all the videos. I like what ever is going on . So keep up with what you're doing. Todd
Thanks Todd! I appreciate the feedback! From reading most of these comments I think I’m going to stick to 1 video a week. On a special occasion or I have something really interesting to show I might do 2. Hope you are doing well!
I'd say with one video a week, try not to over fill your plate. Enjoy the up days. Using the truck and gooseneck to bring hay up is a great idea.
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback!
I like the way you are doing them, maybe a little longer wouldn't hurt.
Great feedback! Thank you!
Do what you want we are still going to watch you for get about all them trolls ❤
Thanks! The guy that commented was nice enough about it and was half joking but it just got me thinking. That’s why I posed the question. Thanks for the support!
Need to built some more panels n maybe start figuring out where the new equipment barn will be so u donot have to push more snow gee 40 degrees n it's melting n refreshing please donot get stuck
I would love to build another equipment/hay shed we could use one! That would make for an interesting video!
I'm new here and I find your videos great 👍🏻🥃
Thank you! I’m glad you’ve enjoyed our videos so far!
Please video anything you can buy its so interesting how people ranch in those conditions.
Thanks for the feedback!
Looks like you got some snow and your boy was working hard. Wish my grand kid would help like that. Dont give him a phone anytime soon.. Your doing good with the videos.
Thanks! I hope I can teach him to be a hard worker. I’m not sure how to go about teaching him that besides bringing him with me and giving him some responsibility.
👍🙏💪
Thanks!
Nice one 🙂
Alot of snow on the farm, and looking clear on the hills 💦
Any chance of a trucking run ?
Do you still have your w900 ?
How many workshop jobs are you running at the moment ?
Hoping you get a dji soon !
Maybe a little of yourselves at a restaurant one evening.
Anyway, more is good, and thank you.
Thanks Scott! I actually don’t have my W9 anymore. I sold it earlier this summer. I had a hard time keeping it on the road and had a lot of break downs with it. A drone is on the top of my list for the next investment for the channel! I don’t have and shop projects going on at the moment. I do have some I’d like start on once it warms up though!
Would like to see more back-flips, chickens on shoulders, and cooking of steaks.
Haha I can probably do some more chicken on shoulders and cooking steaks. We will have to see about the backflips though haha
I think one a week is good. Less work for you and it's just good watching your day to day activities
Thanks for the feed back!
Your amount of videos is fine. Don't have to change due to one person's complaint.
Thanks for the feedback. I shouldn’t have really called it a complaint. I think he was half joking when he said it. Just got me thinking, that’s why I posed the question. Did you get all the rain I heard parts of the west coast were getting?
Yes we did. We got 4 inches over 2 days, but the wind was the worst I've ever experienced. Up to 55mph. The power company said it was the worst damage in our history for blown down power poles and trees into power lines. Half our county was without power, and several grocery stores had to disposes all their refrigerated and frozen. . Luckily ours was only out 1 hour.@@LuthiRanchWY
Yeah, you got too many other things to do than have to post more often. You are a super Dad, Husband, and Rancher, plus truck driver. @@LuthiRanchWY
Haha well thanks for the compliment! I definitely feel like I’ve got plenty going on. Sorry to hear about all the destruction you guys got. I’ve heard a lot of people say the wind was horrible! Hopefully you didn’t receive too much damage.
1 a week is fine if things are happening and you have content for 2 drop a extra mabe some footage that is not time sensitive can be used later when you are to busy to get out a video. You still need a skidloader 😊
I would love a skid loader! I would love alot new things haha! I think the first thing on my list would be a nice loader tractor with a cab on it. It’s hard to justify it though when the Deutz still runs so well.
