Bull Catching at Doongan Station. Kimberleys, Western Australia

I had a job catching bulls in the Kimberleys of Western Australia. This is a little of what I got up to.

[@bobschwaller5293]

Only crazy Australian cowboys would watch a John Wayne movie called Hatari and decide to try it. That's some really cool video. Keep them coming. That cow catcher on the jeep is especially inventive. Make a bolt on kit and sell that on line

[@Babarflower]

Aussies are great farmers. Love you

[@SpeedOfThought]

great video guys! Looks like a lot of work

[@grahamhawthorn7205]

These lads are not a few sandwiches short of a picnic. They are the full picnic short ! I have never seen such insanity. Lol. Respect to you.

[@jonathanpriebefiddler3654]

Alec's so right; note the armour on the Toyota Landcruisers' front & sides. They're all trucked to an Abbatoir. Check out the winching them onto the freight trucks; they won't go 'follow the leader' like domestic cattle.

[@amm019]

That device that catches the bulls reminds me SO much like the ones used to catch the dinosaurs in the second Jurassic Park movie :)

[@muimui1277]

,你老友

[@Neceros]

That is where they got the idea for the trucks in Jurassic Park.

[@bortis7]

Hi Alec.....if people only new what its like to live in the kimberley western australia they wouldnt ask have these questions haha....even most australians dont understand the logistics off living in such a remote area. Hope this finds you well. Tracey and John Doongan Station

[@motoputz3201]

shoot ...mad max ain't got nothin' on these dudes. that is some crazy ranching

[@rayfordhickman3087]

thats a good idea who ever came up with that jeep cow catcher🐃💲👍👍👍

Holy cow it's like something on Jurassic Park

[@valdomirojesus9935]

sensacional. ! ! ! austríacos traduz para eles . manda um recado .Brasil

[@celticwinter09]

Alec, how is that bull catcher engineered? Is it run off the engine or independently? I could see a use for it here in southern Arizona. Thanks!

[@AlecL]

celticwinter09 it's run independent. The older catchers use a winch motor to drive a chain to the arm. The newer ones use a hydraulic motor directly onto the arm. The hydraulic pump is run off the battery.

[@JoeKing67.]

Where's the cowboy when you need one!

[@lindaandrews9245]

How many trees do the drivers bash into before they learn to avoid them? Great video, thanks for posting.

[@joseleshil]

Good technique....and driving skill too....!!!

[@mrgoob76]

i swear the Aussies are just as crazy and hardcore as Slavic people in Eastern Europe... this looks something right out of Jurassic park

[@henrykrol698]

I would only hope that some day you will come out from under you'r rock and be properly acquainted with the SLAVIC people.

[@ArimaKihe1]

It's like something out of that 80's cartoon Dinoriders. Now all you need to do is put a brain box them so they will do your bidding :-)

[@albertatrucker332]

Hi just wondering what king of hydraulic system are you using?

[@parallel299]

It's a bidda bit of this bit of that one of one custom made I bet

[@giuh_]

Reminds me of Hatari for some reason

[@gtoal3891]

Cattle look good and not one blade grass. What they can do with the helicopter is wild

Very cool, are those wild bull

[@FPSoutback]

You bloody way over there now?

[@AlecL]

I was over in NT and WA last mustering season.

[@neeruarora7790]

Full of adventures.

[@edwarddeitch8886]

I'm amazed that after all these centuries of cattle ranching they still have horned cattle herds. Just about every ranch in America has naturally polled herds. So much better for all concerned including the cattle.

[@bushratbeachbum]

Most bulls caught are wild bulls. Free money if you have the balls and the equipment to catch them. No manicures out bush.

[@donnajones6306]

that was some mighty good driving,hard work too. I hope they paid you good for it.Im a widow and never planning on marrying again, but darn you've got my heart beating fast. That's just by the way you were driving. Is there a Ms. Alex by any way? Get 'em cowboy! ! !...

[@AlecL]

Donna Jones haha thanks Donna. I’ve never had anyone say that before 😂 I usually just drive people up the wall 🤪

[@noelscammell9280]

What's up bruzzz

[@jtjtrs8806]

you should show the hole process

[@AlecL]

What you saw is pretty much all I could film. As soon as the bull was caught I had to go to work

[@Missymoo156]

Hey mate are u still working there ? Im always on the lookout for bucking bulls and the majority in that video were good types. Darwin based.

[@bobcrutch8905]

Awesome driving mate...awesome bulls too...some people get all the good jobs! =D..ya lucky bugger

[@AlecL]

bob crutch you're not wrong, best job I've ever had!!

[@oby-1607]

Wow, I got 5 head I can't get out of my field. Now I know what to do with my truck to get them.

Reminded me of "Jurassic Park: The Lost World".

never been catching bulls. would love to try it one day though. this looks like so much fun out there! im down in nsw i have got cattle but not many. i have like 7 heifers and 12 steers

[@udaychary5112]

Driving in woods with that speed is very great... Hats off for driving.

[@johnnyrotten6191]

Absolutely fucking amazing.....

[@Neceros]

That's awesome. Are these wild or escaped?

[@gaborendre545]

Car and copter? How expensive the bull meat there?

[@chrisrobinson2563]

Gábor Endre more so to get them out so they don’t breed with the cows mate and the stations bulls can sire more calves and better quality

[@lebnanlove8726]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@asmadimadi5194]

Good job

[@robertorafaelkuhl3596]

What´s happened with the horses and rope?

[@AlecL]

Roberto Rafael Kuhl there is 2 million acres there and not a huge number of bulls. A horse wouldn't catch near as many in a day as vehicles and helicopters. Horses and ropes has been tried in the past, just end up killing horses

[@deirdreward3452]

Thats cool as hell but what do you do adter you catch them?

[@hernanifreitas2784]

Man, man, i just love wachting these videos, don't you never crash with the trees?

[@MrThenry1988]

ta check with a lasso.

[@backpack1469]

[@frankfrazierjr.3216]

Pretty cool. But it's a lot more fun with a horse and ropes.

[@Ragnar6000]

But not practical on a 2 million acre size station(ranch)

[@bigolface]

Any chance you guys work for IngEN?

[@AlecL]

+Robert Encinas Never heard of them

[@bigolface]

Sorry, it was a Jurrasic Park reference. There is a part in the movie where they are catching the dinos in a similar fashion as you guys are catching the bulls. Cool vid BTW.

[@MsPeterpansen]

Are these young 1-year bulls that never saw a jeep or helicopter in the wild before? It must feel like WW3 for them ;-) Great video!

[@AlecL]

The bulls are all wild and haven't seen people in around 7 years. Yeah it would have been a shock! haha

[@MsPeterpansen]

Clovis are you some kind of SJW? These bulls sure have the best life compared to mass herding in european stables where they never see daylight. And the way they are hunted is "funny" - Whats better? Shot them in the head?

[@renarddubois940]

Malte Blättermann The intersectional tard SJWs loathe me.. I am vegan and most SJWs hate vegans because they remind them that they are incomparably privileged.. Basically for those intersectional craps, you can fight for a cause as long as you don't say shit on the other causes but as a vegan, you need to target mankind as the perpetrator and not just straight white males like they would like us to do.. BTW to respond to your argument, being happy isn't a reason to get killed..

[@MsPeterpansen]

Clovis H Ok.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

AWESOME footage!! I bet they taste delicious being all organic and natural! What do you do with them?

[@AlecL]

Thanks :) Once we had enough bulls to fill a road train they were sold and they'd go into meat pies, bulls aren't the best eating but the cows were some of the best meat I've ever eaten.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

Alec L - Is there somewhere I can get some of that cow meat? I`m in Perth.

[@AlecL]

It wouldnt be easy as most goes into meat pies, so I'm not sure to be honest.

[@ToxicVaccines_HivHoax]

Alec L - I could come up there on a road trip and catch one myself??

[@AlecL]

KZbinSearch ToxicVaccines ToxicFuoride, HIV Hoax contact the station manager. You never know, you could be allowed :) I don't have their contact details

[@SuperLocoloco69]

wtf? dont you et flat tires?

looks like the same device the sluater house uses to render the body's of animals

[@donnajones6306]

The man I was married to passed away 8 years ago and then I said I would not marry unless they could shoot and drive better than me. I do not know how good your aim is, but I wouldn't want your be chasing me in that vehicle! I drive a1992 Chevy Cheyenne 2500 and it can move. But of all the places in the world I would like to visit and that would be down under. But tell your sweetheart no worries,I'll be staying here at my place in Canon,(aka big gun) Georgia Been a pleasure to talk and see that video! Take care

[@ricusmate]

Is it too hot for dogs? Not that you need them in the open but what do you do when they get into thicker trees? Flush them with the chopper?

[@lisarochwarg4707]

I wonder if any bull has sharply veered away at the last moment, again and again...

[@abelvaleriano7785]

😳😳😳WOW!!!

[@hmoobneejthoob]

Ok

[@lindentr3374]

I like the synergy of this management system...when the cattle have eaten all the pasture they have to be shipped out. The only time you can catch them to ship them out is when they have eaten all the undergrowth...WOW is that perfect pasture control or what?

[@Meerkatmatt2]

It's seasonal up there, once the wet season comes, it grows back front the root, as since the grass stops growing in the dry season, there is a finite supply of grass for the entire dry season which can be over grazed.

[@tonyloechte9994]

Two bulls with in a hundred meters. Bloody good work.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

That is a slick method.

[@cbkenison]

what do you do with them once caught?

[@AlecL]

The horns are tipped then they're loaded onto a truck and taken to the main yards. Once there is enough in the yards the road train comes and takes them to the meat works. They're destined for meat pies etc.

[@kerigaugh2024]

+Alec L maybe you should be meat pie

[@RIPntr1]

Brahman bulls were introduced to this property in 1972. they were put over purchased Fossil Downs breeders. Doongan/Mitchell River was two leases held by Amex Corporation. a US mining Co, that held the various bauxite leases there. properties were managed by consultants AACM.

[@mfreund15448]

+Keri Gaugh You can tell it is a dry land, if they were let to do as they wanted there would be starvation. The land simply cannot support all they would produce.

Whats is that of a Bull breed ?

[@AlecL]

They're a mix of shorthorn and Brahman. All wild

[@eltorobravo7571]

Ok and what is the Name of this breed line ?

[@AlecL]

+Morales Lorenzo the Bulls have been wild here for at least 15 years on an area of 2 million acres. So it's just a mixture of shorthorn and brahman

¿No resulta más ágil y menos estresante con caballos? Usando cuerdas y demás, como en los viejos tiempos.

[@DiegoSaldanaD]
