Calf Gets Loose on the Interstate…

[@jacksak]

It's real good to see that when you have problems like the calf or broken four-wheeler you all handle it calmly with a kind of good humor... no excessive drama. As I've said before, it just makes for more natural, realistic and entertaining videos.

[@sleepranch]

Well thanks Jack!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Glad u got your calf back with the herd

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job seeding Carson

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck finding your calf and getting him back with your herd

[@denisedenomme361]

No easy task when they don’t cooperate. You two seem to work and get along so well together.👍❤️😂

[@scottraven1721]

You could feel your relief in having that calf back with the herd. Excellent video Carson Thank you for your effort Cheers

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Scott!

[@stevenjenkinson8958]

Thanks for the adventure. Glad you didn't have to shoot the four wheeler 😂

[@sleepranch]

😂luckily four wheelers recover from a broken leg better than cows or horses

[@ellisritz7654]

Can't believe I missed this video! Good one, Thanks Carson. That last shed you found was a dandy!!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Ellis!

[@rspranchinmontana]

Literally, my heart rate skyrocketed and I felt instant panic just by reading the title of this video!! 😂 Few things can cause instant reactions like this but the words, "cows are out," will do it every time. Add in the word interstate or highway? Yup. Instant panic. So happy everything worked out. Hubby and I are beginning to think we might have to juggle snow storms through the whole summer season the way it seems to be going up here! Dang! Planting or working out on equip. in that weather is brutal.

[@nebraskafarmer9015]

I had the same reaction! I've looked for a few animals in the middle of the night and it ain't fun. I've also tried roping an animal from the back of a four-wheeler and the back of a pickup. It's harder than it sounds.

[@rspranchinmontana]

@@nebraskafarmer9015 oh yeah it is harder to rope when you're not on a horse that can keep moving with the beast being roped AND have that solid roping horn to dally onto to get locked in. Ive watched some others on KZbin trying to rope from a 4 wheeler and I I just cringe and want to hide my head... guess I dont want to see the impending wreck. Ha Ha!!!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks RSP, glad you could share in our concern! Haha hope you guys are doing well!

[@badgerpa9]

Glad you caught little diablo, hope the calf learned to stay in. Never a fun call to get. Fun video I was hoping you would get it roped with Jacque helping. Stay safe and healthy.

[@sleepranch]

I was hoping so too Badger Pa! Stay safe and healthy as well!

[@margaretporkolab7166]

He went all night not eating now he will have MilkShake. Night time is the worst for animals to out. Glad everything went will in the morning. That is I nice mix for your fields. It will replenish you ground when turned over in the spring for a new crop. The soil looks so nice. Great video. Thank you. God Bless. .

[@sleepranch]

Thank you Margaret!

[@GEOsustainable]

Love every video you post. Great content. Great crew. Great family. And you really care about your animals, good hearted folks. Make them longer? They are very entertaining.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you! That really means a lot!

[@terryhobdy5727]

Well I'm glad you got the calf back in. It's always something going on when we have cattle

[@sleepranch]

That’s true, thanks Terry!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Appreciate your great attitude in spite of a runaway calf and broken 4-wheeler! Great Video!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Delton!

[@monique_weaktopeak]

I know what's wrong with it!! It ain't got no gass in it 🤣🤣 So nice to watch these videos. Jaques is my brother. I miss him soooooo much!!! 🥲

[@sleepranch]

😂😂 Nice to hear from you Monique! I’ve heard a lot of good things about you and I can tell Jaques is very fond of his sister. I look forward to meeting you someday!

[@monique_weaktopeak]

[@michaelmcguire3983]

Wow…. They can be a pain sometimes!!!! Thinking about him getting into the road after dark makes it hard relax 😞I’m sure not much rest for you. Thanks for taking us along. Be safe

[@sleepranch]

Thanks for coming Michael, ya it could have been bad but glad it wasn’t. Take care!

[@evelynescalona6077]

Ohhh that looks so cold!!!

[@lynnalohaaloha9439]

That's so crazy. I heard it snowed in Wyoming yesterday and it wasn't even in the forecast. We are hitting 100 today and 103 with a big drought. Glad you got the calf in. Man that looked cold.

[@sleepranch]

Wow that sounds warm for May! I hope you guys get out of the drought, thank you Lynn!

[@kevincarder5350]

great video. You and Jaques make a good team.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Kevin!

[@kenparham5747]

Man that brings back a few memories. Nothing like trying to wrangle livestock in the dark.

[@sleepranch]

No kidding Ken!

[@JockMacHH]

Glad it workout for you and the calve, thanks for sharing

[@sleepranch]

Thanks John!

[@leighcowley9869]

We use to take cows on the US forest. A main road went right through the middle of it. One side was spring pasture and the other was summer. There was thirty five miles of let down fence. During the fall they always were ready to go home. Most of the time we did okay but there were times they hit the main road and we had to g get them in. Some got hit

[@sleepranch]

I don’t doubt that Leigh, it’s hard to control what cows do and they still have a mind of their own as you know!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Carson

[@sleepranch]

Thanks a lot Kevin!

[@davidwhales1499]

A good job well done, regards from England

[@sleepranch]

Thanks David, take care!

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Years ago wife left the gate open and we had 13 calves out on I-275! State Police knocked on the door at midnight! Fortunately they were still on the bottle! So we loaded several bottles that did the trick! Not fun at all! I remember one year we lost several hundred acres of corn due to snow on Memorial Day!

[@sleepranch]

Wow I’m glad you guys got them back in! Doesn’t sounds like fun at all!

[@davidkimmel4216]

I have had cows on inter state. Not fun ours did not end well. Thank the Lord yours ended well. You fell so helpless when it happens.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks David, I’m sorry it didn’t end well for you guys

[@benburns5995]

Glad you were able to get the Calf back to safety. It is good that the mother was there to help keep the calf calmer. If a accident were to happen on the interstate would be be liable, as the calf owner, to pay for damages?

[@badgerpa9]

If you hit an animal with a vehicle deer, cattle dog, etc you are at fault. No difference than if it was a person you need to be in control of your vehicle.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Ben, I don’t think we’d be liable. We’ve had cattle get hit oh the highways in the hills before but the I believe the law requires drivers to drive “defensively” so ranchers are pretty protected!

[@kennywilhite2092]

It sux when get a call in the middle of the night and the cops say hey there’s a cow standing in middle of the 4 lane And man. I want to come deer hunting

[@sleepranch]

Haha it does suck Kenny!

[@akoilady9097]

That was scary for all kinds of reasons! His mama probably had some words for him!!!

[@sleepranch]

Yes I think so!

[@LordoftheOzarks]

Always something with young cattle. We had a 9 month old purebred bull calf get his head stuck between a chained gate and the post the other day while we were in town at my daughters dance recital. He eventually choked himself I reckon. Came home to him hanging there dead as a doornail. Very not cool.

[@sleepranch]

Man that’s a bummer, if something can go wrong it seems that it will.

[@jeffmorrissette3205]

Hey Carson, Holy shed hunting when your doing other things,that was impressive and you had a couple really nice one's. I've got about 200 whitetales running around my ranch and I usually find one shed! Lol If you take that calf to your forest service lease your probably going to be up there in December again rounding him up,it just seems once they know they can crawl through the fence they always do it. Just curious what your seeding rate is for a drier climate?

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Jeff! You’re probably right about the calf haha we were putting somewhere between 12 to 15 pounds of seed per acre for the alfalfa!

[@deborahlewis5964]

Dang calf..... he apparently knows where he is is going...There's always one trouble maker...He must be related to the "Jumper" cow that you had... Can't believe that calf was away from his mom all night... bet he sure was hungry when he found her...... Hope he doesn't make a practice of doing that again....Next time he may not be as lucky....So glad he didn't cause a accident....Hope your 4 wheeler won't be hard to fix... Anyway hope your day goes better....Talk soon...Have a great day!!

[@sleepranch]

They must be related! 😂I hope he doesn’t make a habit of it either. Take care Deb!

[@charlieorm7358]

Nice Work!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Charlie!

[@guybever8935]

Kind of hard seeing the calf in the dark. Enjoyed the video. How many acres did you plant.

[@sleepranch]

Ya it was hard to see! That field was about 100 acres

[@tomcardinal1199]

That calf was just trying to get to the rest area.

[@sleepranch]

😂

U should get a strong flashlight.

Forgot to mention thanks to Jaques as well

[@evelynescalona6077]

What do you think about when you are out there working. I bet you can't remember. It is just like working in the garden, I never remember what I was thinking about.

[@sleepranch]

Good question! I can’t remember either haha probably anything and everything like you do in the garden!

[@marcopolo5365]

Where that dam horse go?
