Thanks for these great videos. After my wife retires, we’re wanting to buy a ranch and get back into the cattle business. Thanks for keeping my interest piqued.
Your channel come up on my feed . Wow this is tough country. And what did you say over a hundred. Cows wanted the shade of the trees . Prity country .but to hot . Thanks for the scenery .
Greetings Folks: Your videos are wonderful! I’ve had a small 45 acre place in Hesperus, (pasture & woods)between Durango and Mancos since 1997. Neighbors lease the pasture and run a few pairs in the spring and fall.. Retired now, I photograph ranches; Colorado, Montana, Wyoming Northern Cal, Oregon, Idaho. I love it and enjoy meeting many wonderful ranch families and I’ve made many long time friends. Familiar with Monticello, Blanding, Fry Canyon, La Sal, Dove Creek , Pleasant View areas and much more. In the early 1980’s my company built the first reach of the Dove Creek Canal. My present day photos end up in Range Magazine, Progressive Cattle, Cattle Mag and a few others. I’ve been looking for forever to find a cow outfit in SE Utah I might be able to photograph. All of my ranch contacts in Colorado & New Mexico are in the Dolores, Hesperus and Farmington areas. Tonight I stumbled onto your wonderful 1880 Drifters channel. Would there be a way I could reach out connect with you folks? I have a website dedicated to Working Ranches that gets frequent traffic. Thank You, again. Your You Tube Channel and videos are perfect!
Another excellent video Jacks family i can see why you have such good horses when a horse gets used as much and as often as yours do they can’t help but be good 👍
I've never seen this kind of dog used for working cattle! First time on your channel, I'm definitely going to poke around and see if I can find out more about them!
The yellow dogs are black mouth curr and the Black and red dog is Catahoula. The Curr's are super good dogs. Great with people and family. They love to work and love their job.
I done that running through the brush on foot after Brahma Cows and a bull that hadn't been touched in 5 years rightt next to the King Ranch. On the far Northeast area of the King Ranch. They tried helicopter and shooting rat shot at the cows to try to get them in the open. That didn't work, we went in on foot, that didn't work. Many close calls. Went and got the horses. What we ended up doin is living out there and riding on full moon nights and we rotated out in day. We kept the cows off water. When they got desperate they would come out of the brush to try and drink and we got a chance to get a rope on them. We would throw them and tie them. Then bring the trailer in and pull them in. Did herd a few into the pens which was in one corner of the place. We caight a calf and put a bell on it to allow us to hear where they were. When we caught that calf sgain it only had splotches of hair on it following it's momma though the brush. Lots of work but a great time.
Your not kidding! we actually have one, but I did not carry it with me because of how far I had to ride in. But I will next time!!!! Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching, it is pretty simple we are not great trainers, but we have a few commands we use and then the dog naturally does the rest. We have a command to hunt and find cattle and then we have a command to get back or come back. These dogs naturally want to find and hold cattle up, we just have to teach them when to do that and when to get back and allow the cattle to move out. For us, this type of dog works best because of our big country, we love our dogs and it is super fun to watch them work. They naturally go to the head and stop, then bunch the cows. They will hold them in a tight bunch until we get there. I have had them hold cattle for over an hour before while I was trying to get to them. We will do more videos explaining how they work,
Very interesting. I love to watch ranch work. Question: What is the strap I see across the back over the shoulder and in front of a few of you? I can't see enough of it to tell.
The only way I know is to start them with dogs who know who to move stock. Of all the dogs I used over the years the best were terrier Labrador crosses. Makes for a very sturdy dedicated dog who will mind when working. They want nothing more that to please the boss. Find someone local who works dogs other than Border Collies. Those dogs will hardly be patient enough to teach a green dog and can run the legs right off anything but another Collie. Maybe cattle feed sales folks will know who uses dogs, especially if they deliver cattle feed to the farm/ranch. Good luck with your dog, Mine made a world of difference moving cows or horses.
Thanks for watching. Well, he knows what to do and has a lot of ability we just need to work with him and knowing the basic commands we use, which are pretty simple. We have a command to hunt cattle, and a command to come back or get back and allow the cattle to move. You could not see it in the video, but that dog winded those three pair and took off on a line, before we ever hit their tracks. So he has what it takes to make a great dog, he seems to get better every time we take him out.
Thank you for watching, our two yellow dogs are Black mouth Cur and the Black and red dog is a Catahoula. These dogs are head dogs and naturally hunt and hold up cattle. They are not heal or drive dogs. They really help us find and hold cattle in big country. The reason we use this type of dog is because in big country that is full of trees, cows can get away from you. Especially if they do it once or twice they learn to just run off and we can not keep up with them in the trees. So we have gone to this type of dog to keep our cows gathered up and allow us to push them.
It’s interesting to see other folks in the western US using these types of dogs. I have been around a bunch of them in the south east US but out west not too much. Y’all’s UA-cam videos are really good!!!⚓️
Hold dogs ? For holding them in the brush??😂 crawl in there on your hands and knees, pet them a few times,, put a rope around their pointy horns and lead um out. Don’t forget to give them a treat!! 😂😂
Don't really agree with that. I worked 2 big Black and Tan coon hounds with cross bred terrier/Labs to move cattle and horses out of dense forest. I know coon hounds will run far and wide on a scent but I think mine stayed with the moving herd because they lived full time with the terrier lab crosses, in the house and in the work. They were raised from pups with the terrier labs, maybe that helped. They stayed silent until finding the stock then bayed those beautiful tones. I only used one at a time when moving stock so no one got any crazy ideas.
What an ignorant political comment. Cows wander where they want regardless of public or private land. I appreciate the hard work of these folks and enjoy the content.
Who can afford to lose cattle for 2 years and nobody says, hey anybody know who's cows are down on the river. One Navaho said no I haven't seen any cows as he spit out a big Ole steak bone.😅
I like what you folks are doing putting this content on here for us to watch so thanks for this upload. Good luck.
Thank you! We appreciate it
Thanks for these great videos. After my wife retires, we’re wanting to buy a ranch and get back into the cattle business. Thanks for keeping my interest piqued.
Just awesome! Thank you for sharing these dogs, what they do and why they are such an integral part of "working". Keep the working in the working dog!
Thanks for sharing the video of some beautiful country!
Your channel come up on my feed .
Wow this is tough country. And what did you say over a hundred.
Cows wanted the shade of the trees .
Prity country .but to hot .

“Cowboy” running through the brush on foot, very cute!!😅

You need some coacher cattle to bring those cows out of that riverbed

New subscriber. Really enjoyed your video. I’ve never experienced this lifestyle so I’m living vicariously through videos like yours.
What a great video! So did you ever find the bull?
Thank you, No we did not, we are completely stumped! We know he is there but could not find a fresh track.
Gee A Good old Drone would save you hours of work .Finding them thar Critters
Your not kidding! we actually have one, but I did not carry it with me because of how far I had to ride in. But I will next time!!!! Thanks for watching
Packing an outback coat or slicker is a smart idea. One never knows when a storm may blow in. Great video.
Thank you for watching, and yes we love those rain coats, been a life saver!
I'd love to be able to join you sometime and learn how you use your dogs to work cattle
Thanks for watching, it is pretty simple we are not great trainers, but we have a few commands we use and then the dog naturally does the rest.

The Colorado cows are never where they are supposed to be! They are a full time job🙂
I'll tell you what, I am wore out with these cows. I have never had this much trouble keeping cows in, in my life!!! Thanks for watching
Can a raft be used on the river, to transport cows and calves out? Good luck.
Very interesting. I love to watch ranch work. Question: What is the strap I see across the back over the shoulder and in front of a few of you? I can't see enough of it to tell.
That nice work if you can get it
do they allow you to use drone's I know certain states have rules about that
How do y’all teach them dogs to hold up cows I’ve got a Catahoula cur cross I’m trying to start on our cows but I’m pretty new to dogs
The only way I know is to start them with dogs who know who to move stock. Of all the dogs I used over the years the best were terrier Labrador crosses. Makes for a very sturdy dedicated dog who will mind when working. They want nothing more that to please the boss. Find someone local who works dogs other than Border Collies.

I'm curious about the breed mixture of your dogs?
Is that the virgin river?
“Cowboy” running through the brush on foot, very cute!!. That nice work if you can get it.
There’s a road right there?
I use the same type dogs when I go pen cows
love em, thanks for watching
Bay them and drive them out with the dogs.
👍👍
Pond or stock tank.
👍
are those black mouth curr dogs sir
Another question: which ranch is this?
Where do you get your holster for your cameras
thanks for watching, we made them. We have tried several designs, but kind of like this one the best.
They look reliable. Can you sho a closer view. Tks
yes, will do@@dennisdomingos1283
That’s called busting brush
Sometimes I think we are the ones getting busted!!!! That brush is tough stuff. Thanks for watching
"missing" for a couple of years? sounds more like "got free grazing" if the owner didn't retrieve them
8,13 hows the black and tan dog working out????
Thanks for watching. Well, he knows what to do and has a lot of ability we just need to work with him and knowing the basic commands we use, which are pretty simple. We have a command to hunt cattle, and a command to come back or get back and allow the cattle to move. You could not see it in the video, but that dog winded those three pair and took off on a line, before we ever hit their tracks. So he has what it takes to make a great dog, he seems to get better every time we take him out.
seems like a nice dog@@shawnjack8092
poor fences
good black mouth currs in action...can't be beat..
Truth 100%
Your dogs don't look like the typical heeler or aussie shep cattle dogs just wonder what type of dog you're using to help work the cattle?
Thank you for watching, our two yellow dogs are Black mouth Cur and the Black and red dog is a Catahoula. These dogs are head dogs and naturally hunt and hold up cattle.

Thank you for the knowledge on the Dogg's .very interesting.

What The What? Come on!
Bay dogs are not cow dogs
Don't really agree with that. I worked 2 big Black and Tan coon hounds with cross bred terrier/Labs to move cattle and horses out of dense forest. I know coon hounds will run far and wide on a scent but I think mine stayed with the moving herd because they lived full time with the terrier lab crosses, in the house and in the work.

Time for shutting down grazing rights on public land. Haven't seen my cattle in 2 years is just pure lazy BS.
What an ignorant political comment. Cows wander where they want regardless of public or private land. I appreciate the hard work of these folks and enjoy the content.
That land needs to be grazed because wild animals used to outnumber what their populations are now
Who can afford to lose cattle for 2 years and nobody says, hey anybody know who's cows are down on the river. One Navaho said no I haven't seen any cows as he spit out a big Ole steak bone.😅
Obviously a eastern cOWbOY things different out west!
Not eastern anything. Raised on a ranch that taking responsibility for you animals is priority.@@ericbuck7045
Taste like hamburger hahahaha hahahaha
