Can I just ask you why think it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to torture animals like this? And don’t use any economic excuses please.
Can you answer a question for me? Do you have any kind of pets? And to answer your question, I think how I raise my animals is totally torture free. I will say there are some farmers that are cruel but that is not most of us. I give them vaccines just as people vaccinate their children and babies to look out for their future health. And I band them because I would like to see you walk into a pen full of bulls and come out without an injury. There are just some things city people will never understand simply because they have not been around farm animals enough to know. And I would be happy to have a conversation about things because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as soon as it shifts from a debate to a hateful argument ✌️I’m out.
On The Farm yes I have pets. Why is that? Your calves aren’t your pets so that is completely irrelevant. I don’t understand how you can think that banding does not cause any suffering. As a male, do you really think this wouldn’t hurt? You chose to bring them into this world by forcibly impregnating their mothers and then you use “well city folk have no idea about how dangerous bulls are” this is why I watch all these farming videos on UA-cam so thanks for the education.
And treating them “humanely”, do you think that there is anything wrong with sending them to slaughter when they are perfectly fine and healthy animals but are having their lives taken from them against their will?. Do you ever feel bad or any guilt when you take them to the sale yard knowing full well what the end result will be after rearing them?
My reason for asking if you have pets is because, assuming you have cats or dogs, they are probably spayed and neutered because pet owners that do not spay or neuter are considered “irresponsible”. And sure they are asleep while the procedure happens but they are in extreme discomfort afterwards mostly due to the stitches and getting part of their body cut out. So you caused extreme pain on the animals that are part of the family. And as a male, obviously there is would be pain, but after they lose circulation their balls become totally numb and after two or three days they can’t feel them at all.
Obviously it’s not fun taking them to the sales barn when their time comes because I have spent 2 hours with them every single day and watched them grow up. There are even a few of them that I would call “pets” but they also have to go. They are going to be used for meat which is obvious so all I can do is raise them to the best of my ability and give them the best life they could have before they are sent off. It is just part of the circle of life, people are omnivores and that’s a fact people cannot argue, it is how our digestive system is set up. Sure people can now live on a vegan diet, but they have to take supplements to get the same things meat eaters get from meat. I’m sure you could talk about the supplements you have to take, honestly I am will admit I am not well informed on that topic. And no, I am NOT against vegans, it is their choice and they can eat whatever they would like, but I also expect vegans to respect my choice to eat meat. That doesn’t mean they can’t try to change my mind, and the same goes for meat eaters.
I totally agree with you, this person clearly has no experience of agriculture and relies on rigged evidence she found on some page on the internet. Keep up the good work.
Curvy Vegan...just another name for FAT SALAD EATER
Thank You Farmers! Both Agricultural and Livestock! And not just here in America but all over the World!
You've chosen a career & lifestyle that is often not truly appreciated! You make our food and the Big Rig Truckers bring it to us!!
They are all getting so big! Looking great. Nice job Issac... 🐮. Loved the close up of the calf. Adorable. The dog and cat was sweet too.
I love that you have such a great temper, it shows in how your calves trust you.
They pup and kitty is cute. Thanks for the video, always love them.
Yes low stress is always the best for calves,I had a black lab and cat that were best friends they used to play and sleep together,great video
Omg. The dog and cat shots are so adorable
Another great video. Keep up the good work. I know its alot of work but glad to see you doing it to saving calfs.
wow another great one,love the kitty and dog cuddling,Nice to see family pulling together,wish I was closer Id help everyday,hugs good friend.
Thank you for your vids bro really appreciate them! About to start a little heard myself wish me luck.
Worth the watch just to see the dog and cat. Aw factor 100!
TosanaRain wow how disconnected are you? So the dog and cat are cute but the calves aren’t and that makes it ok to castrate them without pain relief. You’re a whack job.
@@CV_411 shut up kid
@@CV_411 u clearly have no ranching experience
Here in our small town in Texas the dairy bands all the bulls at birth. Occasionally every once in a while 1 will pop off and we reband as soon as we notice it but pretty much everyone of them is done.
That paddock fence system make the work pretty stressless, great video. Cheers.
My dad did put a lot of time into building it and getting it all set up and it works great!
Looks good. One suggestion, when I am banding in the cold, I put the bag of bands in my pocket to keep them warm so they don’t break. Otherwise, I’ll put a couple in my mouth for a bit and before I use them, I dry them off in my sleeve. Good looking calves.
Yesssssssss you posted!!!
And I’m first
Myles Whale watching calf castration excites you? Um ok
Curvey Vegan no I’m just happy he posted 😂
Oh, man! I wish I had your equipment on my off grid homestead. I am saving for a head gate. One day! Until then, I have to tie them to a post and hobble the rear end. Not fun for a 5 ft tall, 62 year old woman. God bless, Vivian Ann on the side of the mountain in northeast Tennessee
2LadyHomesteaders Hodge for the love of god retire already.
@@CV_411 ...wish I could, but then I would be awful hungry. Off-grid growing 90% of our food. Thanks for the concern.
Really beautiful video i like it so mutch
You know the knot on the big calf’s leg get you some pure honey put that on there and wrap it with coban and check it in a week all that swelling will go down or be gone can do the same with cuts as well.
interesting video.
are you on your school's dairy challenge team? we just had the midwest competition last week. also i'm impressed with how clean those calves are!!
lol, i guess i was referring to the first group though haha
Great video! Do you get them already dehorned or do you do that off camera? If you dehorn what method do you use?
We only had 3 that had horns and we dehorned them when they were younger. We just use the horn cutters and pull out the artery. They are all half beef calves so the rest were naturally polled.
I always cut, because i mostly sell my cattle in auction and is easier for buyer to see that they are cut, band can leave a testicle inside if not done correctly and buyers are more skeptical about it so is easier and more profitable for me to cut.
Use a 5/8" needle . You won't have pull the skin out.
Well, that production was missing the names of the helpers making a guest appearance in this episode.
Issac...as himself;
Cowhand #1...???; and,
Cowhand #2...???
Very interesting and informative video ...but where are your gloves.. !!! Awe ❤kitty and doggy❤
I probably should have been wearing gloves but I always think they get in the way. Thank you!
Hey man I like your videos I am learning a lot from you I am new at this I just got one bottle calf that he turns two months in a week.
At what age you give them their first shot
Anytime after two months of age. I normally wait till about 3 months for their first round of vaccine and then wait another month or two for their second round.
What brand of jacket is that your wearing ?
What do you use for feeding you calves?
I have some calf’s of my own about 400 lbs about what ratio of pellets and corn do to suggest?? Thanks very useful videos!!
I do not have a specific ratio. I just buy a feed from the feed store in bulk. For calves you will want the protein at 10-16%. When they get close to 500lbs 8% protein feed works fine. For young calves the more pellets there are the better, you don’t want a lot of grain dust because it can cause some respiratory issues. Hope that kind of helped!
On The Farm thanks yes that helps I’m kinda new to this but you kids got me started on my own cows so thanks again👍🏼
Sorry kinda not kids
Dads they forget
you use same needle for every head?
I think those poopy cows had some retriever in their dna and they are drawn to moisture 😂
oi that tuyet voi.
looks like a big farm - but don`t see many cows other than the calf's he raises - anyone know how big acres or how many cows the dad has ?
My dad has about 175 momma cows sometimes a little more and a little less. My dad just runs the farm on the side and I help him out and pay rent since I run my 8 cows and bottle calves on the place. Hope that answered it!

What state are you in
Do you have you keep any of the calves for breeding
I kept 18 heifers out of this group and they should be bred. They will be pretty checked in a few months and then I’ll see how they do as mothers. If I like how they do as cows, then I may keep a few more back out of my current group. This first group is just a test 👍
3rd comment
The injections are they under the skin are in the muscle.
Dude, WD-40 works OK on ice-locked gates, etc.
Why castrations?
First view
Calves are very weak and hungry. People take care. They are innocent.
