Calving Difficulties On A Cold Frosty Morning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лют 2024
- With us starting to calve earlier than usual this winter it seems like we have been having to watch our new born calves pretty close. Sub Zero temperatures, blizzards, and deep snow have been some of the problems we have faced. In this video we have a new born calf that is struggling to stand and nurse. We use the tools we have at our disposal to try and give it a good start to life.
Cold weather and calving don't Mix.
Thanks for sharing your chores around the farm
You are welcome! You definitely have to put in alot more work and be me observant with the cold weather calving.
Sounds like your work load is about to step up! LOL. Everyone looks good, your vigilance is a primary reason for that Bryan! Good Job! Good Post!
Thank Bob! Seems like I’ve been having to put in more work than normal this year. I’m happy with how things are going though, we’ve been having a lot of success so far with the calving. I’ve been trying to keep up with Tyler’s videos as it looks like you guys are still getting plenty of moisture. Hope you are doing well!
I like your videos. Do to health reasons I had to stop raising cattle so its nice watching someone else living the life.
Sorry to hear about your health problems. I’m glad you have enjoyed our videos though. I’ll try and keep them coming
Congrats on another beautiful calf.
Thanks! It’s always a good feeling to get another calf up and going!
Great, another calf 👍🏻🥃
It’s always a good feeling to get one more up and going!
Good luck calving Bryan
Thank you!
Good job Bryan. Must be hard for the new born calves with cold weather. They survive that they will survive anything.
The cold is tough on them. If you can just make sure they get up/ dried off and get some colostrum in them they do surprisingly well
Hey cooooows! Love it! Good video sir
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
You are definitely putting some miles on that calf warmer this year! Glad to see that other calf responded well to those splints. Looks like winter is resuming it's course after the extended thaw.
That warmer is probably the best calving tool investment I have ever made. That warm weather sure made a mess of things there for a bit. We got a decent amount of snow last week when those storms came through. I bet over a foot in all. Hope you guys are doing great and enjoying your beef!
@@LuthiRanchWY I finally made some burgers last night and they were delicious! Hoping to finally do some steaks this weekend.
Glad to hear!
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy seeing new healthy calves
That’s one of my favorite sights also, once the calves get a little older and you start having gangs of them running around together
Great landscape shots, that frost and sun was awesome I even had my wife watching it and she's an amateur photographer who takes super shots also. That calf warmer is getting a workout that's a good option for sure. I like the way you only leave them in there for an hour or so get that colostrum down em and get em back outside I just think it's better for the mom and the calf. It's a very good calf routine and it shows in the healthy vigor of your calves. Great to see another great video stay safe and take care
Thanks George! I’ve had to use that warmer a lot more than normal it seems like this year. I agree with you, I like getting the calf back out to there mother as fast as possible. I’m glad to hear you enjoy the scenery shots! It’s such a pretty area it’s pretty easy to do haha. Hope you and your family are doing great!
Glad I found your channel….. I love the compassion that you have for your cows and calves…..Great video…
Thanks! I’m glad you found us too! What lead you to our channel?
@@LuthiRanchWY I love the farm and ranching videos….calving and working cattle….Im a farmer daughter and have always been on the farm..I’ve loved the life since I was little kid..The best life….
In Illinois all our snow melted and ground is solid frost is mostly gone except for top inch overnight. We feed on crop ground so excess material is tilled in. Great job with videoing loved the frosty morning shots. We almost always use half bag on colostrum. Good calving
I think that’s going to start to be my new practice, just using half a bag of colostrum. Unless the calf is really struggling. Is it a little early for your guys snow to melt or is this about normal for you?
when we were raising cattle we would tag the bull calves in the right ear and heifers in the left. made a convenient quick identifier.
That’s a great idea! I think I would have a hard time remembering to do it now since I’ve gotten into the habit of tagging them all in the right ear.
Great video Bryan
Thanks 👍
Glad the calves are popping out n doing good.have u tried to run a disk or chisel thru your bedding area in the spring or summer sometimes u can do that and have a great pasture again.its been the mildest Feb I can remember here this week we will be in the high 70 lower 80 for a few days n 60 fir the high the rest of the week please stay warm n u are doing a great job
So u can laugh had to mow around the house to weeds n rye was getting real tall so now to spray winter weeds 75 today
Haha it’s crazy to even think about mowing a lawn right now. I bet we have over 2 feet of snow right now on the ground. Temps have still been pretty mild though. With running your disk or chisel through the bedding would it ball up on you a lot? What would you say your average temperatures for this time of year are there?
@LuthiRanchWY we are way above the average February temps usually colder in February my disk is a heavy offset n it has scrapers to fight plugging
It helps chop it n mixes soil in it what town do u live by I want to put it in my weather watch I think u said afton on one video
Anyway keep up the excellent job u are doing n stay warm
Thank you! I use the AccuWeather app and I’m in Freedom, Wyoming
Got it added your 10 day high 38 ours is 83 n wichita falls texas enjoy the moisture n good luck on the calving
❤ great job
Thank you!
Hi Bryan, I bet it is “hard work digging in the dirt” when it’s that cold!😂
We got to 70 Thursday but yesterday didn’t make it above freezing. Supposed to get warmer again this week.
Haha it’s a song they sing on one of the kid shows Ellis likes. I was able to catch Lyndsey singing it haha. That’s crazy to hear about your temperature swings you have down there. We’ve gotten alot of snow over the last week, probably around another foot. Hope you and your family are doing great!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
