- Welcome to Tick Creek Ranch. This channel
was created to show the daily ins and outs of
life on a small ranch. We are a family of eight,
our lifestyle has taken us from the deserts of
Idaho to the wilds of Alaska and back to the
lower 48. We followed our dreams and finally
settled in the Ozark's of Missouri. We have
owned and operated our own businesses. over
the years, ranging from carpentry and
excavation to commercial and residential landscape. The children and ourselves have
developed a passion for learning new skills
which include leather work, welding and
fabricating, carpentry, plumbing, electrical,
roofing, painting, equipment operation, timber
sawing, blacksmithing, horseshoeing, flatwork
and concrete, timber framing, cattle ranching,
horse training, and many more. Please follow
along on this journey as we build our new
home and delve into the ways of regenerative
ranching. So stick around and watch us create
our dream using old world construction
techniques and style reminiscent of an era
gone by. Thank you and enjoy the journey.

Long feet? Slip a tail?? Not sure what any of that means but i wish your family the best of luck!
Those are all side effects from Fescue Toxicosis. It’s a poisonous alkaloid produced by the endophyte (internal fungus) associated with Tall Fescue. It’s terrible stuff if not managed for properly. If the grass is grazed too short the animals will ingest higher amounts of the toxic endophyte. Especially considering it concentrates in the lower parts of the plant. It’s a tough, productive and resilient grass that has many challenges
Interesting about the cow that calved on the coldest day of the year. We had a 1st time mama not bag up or show any signs but calved on the coldest day of the year and the calf was small. I was wondering if the cold stress made her calve early. Compared to the calf that was born a week before I’d say she was about 2 weeks early
Did the calf survive? Seems the cold stress makes them drop a calf. It’s too common to be coincidental imho. We have friends that are 5th generation rancher with 4000 head and 115,000 acres that commonly experience the same phenomenon. They swear to it. Coldest day= frozen calf on the ground. No bueno
Very interesting! We only have a small farm so I found her right after being born and brought her in to dry off before putting her back out to mama and all is well 👍🏼
