Building a Catch Pen for Loading Out Cows | Engels Coach Shop

[@ralphcline6930]

I have followed this channel since the borax wagons , and you sir , are the most industrious person i have ever seen. I'm almost certain that the missus makes you a hearty breakfast. Lol , thanks to both of you.

[@Garth2011]

I'm feeling cold just watching. Looks to be a great idea especially for a cows first time being herded into a trailer and stable. Job well done.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for taking us along on this ride today Dave. Ranchers work is never done but lot's of fun when it comes together as you planned. Looks good, and things are still able to thaw out for a while. Stay safe and keep up the fun around there. Fred.

Nice view of the sunny blue sky. Gate assembly looks like it will do the job!

[@pauls4708]

I have witessed the strength of these boys. We were dehorning some younger steers. We had one agitated one where we tried to chain him to a post. we didnt have a nose ring and he just pulled a big post straight out of the ground. I hope he doesnt lean on your panels or gate too much!

[@mayforddavis9291]

Never ending chores. God Bless You and Mrs. Engels.

Dave, I spent last weekend in Death Valley, and on my way home I stopped by Harmony Borax Works to see the 20 mule team wagons in person. They have weathered excellently, and are looking really old. They fit right in with the rest of the interpretive center.

[@flywayhome8903]

Once again thanks for the video.

[@mfreund15448]

Happy Tuesday Dave and Diane!!

[@danpatch4751]

Nice set up Dave, the cold weather is always an obstacle it seems but you always work around it. Nice gate setup.

[@daniellarrivee-ic3lg]

Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

Gates look great!❤

My kids had charlaois 4H cows. We had to make the catch pen 6' tall and made from 2" upset tubing. those farm store gates were just a hurdle that they jumped on, bent them down to walk across height. We had a 18' wide 8' across cattle guard made out of 4 & 7/8 drill stem. One young bull learned that he could jump 8' and get out in the crops. One of the kids would go put a rope on the halter we kept on him and lead him back behind the Honda big red and through the wide walk through door on the barn. He sure was graceful when he jumped that cattle guard. We kept getting calls that we had big Charlaois cows out. I had an Oil Well power unit repair near home and when I ducked in to refill my jug with tea, I saw one of those cows being harrassed by one of the horses so it simply jumped over a standard cattle fence and of course, 2 or 5 would decide to jump the fence. The horses left that week.

Big tools save a lot of time, I'd still be waiting on my bandsaw.

[@arnhemseptember2009]

We had 3 inches of snow at 26F here last friday in Holland, and no longer used to that, a large part of the country ended up in a complete standstill. And on sunday a record braking 60F again...

[@robertvirtue]

Great Job Dave.

[@davidchisham]

I can relate to cold weather and cattle water. We used to cut ice on ponds. Happy Thanksgiving Dave and Diane

[@dianeengel4155]

Same to you.

[@MNHealey]

Happy Thanksgiving from Minnesota! 🎉

[@nomis3045]

Happy Tuesday 😀

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Dave

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Guys

[@danaowen9014]

I had to put on a jacket just to watch your cold video 😂

[@Myrune1]

Everything is a hammer! I approve.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 to you, your family, friends and subscribers 🦃🥂

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

You have a beautiful ranch

[@jdcamc]

Howdy, Dave! Stay warm!

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

Excellent . Thank you

[@railroad9000]

Dave, Happy Thankgiving to both of you!

[@dianeengel4155]

Same to you.

[@thirzapeevey2395]

Red calf going to freezer camp? Well done as always. I'm glad you didn't hit your cold hands with the hammer. It always hurts worse when your hands are cold.

[@patmancrowley8509]

Always interesting.

[@garthbutton699]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family🤗😎🤗😎

[@dianeengel4155]

Same to you.

[@ahenrytheninth]

Good fresh cut on that post. That's why we have chainsaws. Appreciate you

[@bobblossom2713]

As Rodney said, a truck is a lot like a woman, on a cold, cold winter morning, they won't turn over for you.

[@Whipple1]

That’s funny, right there. Whipple

[@WarblesOnALot]

​​@@Whipple1 G"day, A trifle risque though... Dave grew up among the Mennonites, not as strict as the Amish...; but jocularity regarding Human Reproduction might not be necessarily appreciated. Dave's missus (Dianne) appears to patrol his Comment Threads. I would not choose to "joke" like this, in "mixed company" among anyone who takes their Theology Seriously... Dave says very little about such matters..., but as a lapsed Presbyterian from age-6, then sent for almost 6 years to two Catholic Boarding-Schools... One thing I noticed is that, among the Faithful...; Jokes invoking references to Sexual Inuendos Only "go over tolerably well" in all male/all/female company. And, y'see, YT Threads are Unisexual By their very Nature... So, for whatever it may be worth...; Pull your Head in..., If y'd take a Fool's Advice... Just(ifiably ?) sayin' Such is life, Live a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

[@gordbaker896]

Rare to see so many gates and no Binder Twine!

[@tomswindler64]

Nice 👍👍👍😎😎😎

Cows wondered off for breakfast at your local Howard Johnsons

[@ditzydoo4378]

HW and Powder River panels will get the job done every time. ^~^ but it may be time to put the battery minder on old faithful. 0~o

[@suzisaintjames]

I know nothing about cold weather... why do you throw the ice out of the trough? Sending lots of love 💕 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourself and each other 😷

[@dianeengel4155]

The cows can't get to the water underneath until you break the ice in top.

[@paulhylton9503]

Aww a couple inches we got over a foot last week in northeast Pennsylvania but we don’t have the sub zero temps you get this early in the year

[@timeflysintheshop]

Did you use a chain saw to slice off part of the far post to give enough clearance for the panel to fit between the posts?

[@dianeengel4155]

No

[@timeflysintheshop]

@dianeengel4155 Drawknife? 😉😊

[@RobertFay]

*- Bubbling water never freezes. That is how hydro dams keep their spillways free of ice at minus 36 below zero.* *- A solar cells running a fish tank bubbler will keep your water tub free of ice.*

[@SusanPearce_H]

In Australia, we have precisely the opposite problems with H2O. Often, artesian bore water is boiling.

[@jjohnson2553]

Dave I thought you were using the big tank inside the structure for winter watering. Did something happen and I missed it?

[@dianeengel4155]

It's been warm enough we've been able to use the other tank.

[@patrickshannon4854]

I’m a city boy so forgive what may sound like like stupid questions. How are you handling your cattle? I’m assuming that since you are building loading facilities, the cattle are going somewhere. Are they going to a local butcher who will slaughter, process & package the meat? Will they also provide freezer accommodations, or will you pick up the lot & freeze it yourself.

[@dianeengel4155]

The steer is going to the butcher soon. We have a freezer, and our son,who we will share with, has one, too.

[@merlepatterson]

Have you considered installing a tall post with a 3 or 4 hundred watt solar panel with a heater coil to put in the water bin?

[@leaningr]

Hey Dave, what is the depth of the frost line up there?

[@dianeengel4155]

6 feet

[@nigelheffernan3857]

Dave could you not run an underground hose from the 1000 gallon tank to the smaller tank and add a ball cock so you only have to refill the big tank every so often i know its not ideal for winter

[@TM15R]

Any chance you could add a little salt to the water? Animals like to use salt licks???

[@bradbeasley7669]

🥶🥶👍👍

[@amateuranth2796]

Im curious why not drill a well on the property instead of hauling water seems like it would save time and money in the long run

[@azroger7526]

Good video. But... What happened to the 12,000 or so gallon tank in the big insulated building with heater tape on the outflow pipe and a hydrant down by the cows? This hauling water from home seems like a step backwards. Just sayin'.
