Calving Takes Off!

Our ranch is located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where my family settled and started ranching in 1883.
I work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, and my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town. We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.

Congratulations on your brand new Son. He TOO looks like your Dad. Both your boys look exactly alike! Very handsome little guys. The business lives on for many many more years to come. Dinner looks amazing Mom.

[@harveypenner2386]

Those Angus cows are amazing mothers and their calves are always the first ones up and sucking. I have calved out many different breeds but Angus cows always rise to the top when it comes to maternal traits! Love these videos!

[@southtexashay777]

South Texas Cattle and Hay, would like to say Blessings to all of your viewers.

[@michaelwood5327]

That one little heifer was sure bawling you out. What a fine bunch of cows with healthy babies. Thanks so much for sharing 😊. Love Angus. We always raised a pair of them as bottle babies when I was a kid. God Bless.

[@coltenkilgore1617]

[@nathancarlson6005]

We have used internasel vaccine for 3 yrs and has been very effective with phenomena in our Calfs good Luck to you in you calving season

[@marlinyohn8982]

What a great video. Calving season is a tough time of the year, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing that new calf up on its feet and getting its first drink.

[@MaryannDeming]

That is one cute baby. Thank you for sharing your day.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Glad to see all is going as It should. Its always a good day when all goes well. God bless your family.

[@aliciasmith3440]

Glad you guys think like me., never lost a calf by helping, but have lost calf’s by thinking going to be okay and waiting.

[@JP-bv7bf]

My favourite time of year is watching all the new life coming into this world. Love your Videos. God bless 🇨🇦

[@genewileyopa]

Good Family operation. Lots of little calves running around. Fun to watch. Little guy looks like he's growing. Lord Bless you Thanks for sharing

[@kenj7222]

Love calving season. Great time of the year!

[@benburns5995]

Great video, wow, a lot of new calves to take care of. Would have been good to have about 15 hungry cats to take care of all those mice under the feed bags.

[@scottraven1721]

Very exciting activities on the farm right now, with all concerned. Good to be busy, and very soon, spring will be there. Looking forward to the rest of the season, and more adventures. Thank you very much for this channel, and God bless Cheers

[@jospike1470]

Good evening from Muscat, Oman. Great seeing some grass and not snow covered rolling hills. Hope that the calving goes well this season....thank you for the video

[@dwl3016]

This makes me wish I could still be doing cattle ranching, most enjoyable time & work in my life (liked what I was doing most everyday). Am now old and just watch.

[@southtexashay777]

Great to hear that it's a trouble free calving season. Blessings guys keep safe!!!.

[@rossjermey7688]

Great work. Chuckled at that heifer, with all the dry bedding you put out she plunked that baby out in the dirt. Never fails. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Calving going well here as well. Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@dwightharber4873]

Excellent video Carson. It's always a blessing when a heifer or cow has her calf unassisted

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Great education for those who’ve not been through this process! Awesome video ! They chicken stir fry looks fantastic!

[@johnlookabill8495]

Awesome video. Calving was always my favorite time of year. Well birthing and hatching season for all the animals on the farm. Love seeing new life. Y’all are such caring ranchers. Love seeing your mom out there with you guys. Such an amazing lady. Silas looking so big and happy and of course Demaris is gorgeous as always. Tell her as an older guy living alone her stir fry looked amazing. God bless you all. Your brother in Christ.

[@ManuelMartinez-wv7he]

Awesome video again! Great to see your family working together all the time

[@kenparham5747]

Silas was smelling Moms cooking, thats why he was awake still! Hehe Glad you guys are doing well bud and God bless!

[@thereseburton1414]

Wow that's alot of milk mouths. That last one is the cutest. God bless

[@kevincarder5350]

Another great video. It was nice to see your mom in the video. Hope the weather stays nice for calving. Look forward to your next video.

[@franny607]

Your son looks Just like you💕

[@kevinvanpelt5302]

17:08 Thank you for sharing your life with us. Calving time is a busy time for you so taking the time to teach the world about ranching is generous of you. I am glad the weather seems to be cooperative too. My neighbor in Arizona ranched around the Firesteel Timber Lake area of northcentral SD. Your part of the state is somewhat different topographically but being able to see the differences is striking. He didn’t have nearly the turkey problem that you do. So, take these words of encouragement and keep doing what you have done your whole life. I know it can and has been difficult at times for you and your family but without your family and the generations of hard work to get here those of us who enjoy beef would suffer. People need to know what it takes to put that steak on the plate. God bless you, your family, and that ranch. May all of you prosper in your endeavors.

[@patriciawarner1274]

Another great video, Damaris cooking up a storm and Silas hasn’t missed a meal! 😉

[@jonpittman9173]

I enjoyed the video. Love to see all the calves.

[@hankelrod7315]

Couple yrs ago I spent hours pulling a difficult calf in the mud & snow & finally got calf drinking & went into house for supper & coffee. Went back out & found mama choked to death on placenta. From now on I remove them when I can

[@ellisritz7654]

I'm always amazed how some heifers don't take to their calves, great video, a jack russle work make short work of those mice.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Love all the babies and your little guy too 💙

[@davidklassen3159]

I wish u guys a good calving season. We just started to so I know it can be stressful and fun at the same time

[@debbiephillips1123]

Got to say you and your sweet family have become my new KZbin favorite! You are the first youtubers that I have actually gone back and watched every single video and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one! I love watching and learning about the life of your ranching family and seeing the stunning scenery of every season up there in South Dakota as well as watching all the horse and cow interactions. Your sense of humor and your down to earth explaining of what's happening just really brings happiness to my day! Really do enjoy your videos! May the Lord continue to bless you all!

[@williampickett3938]

Amazing process

Along with other things good for Mammas in the plancenta is oxytocin with stimulates the uterus to clamp down and prevents post partum bleeding.

[@silasstedman7801]

Another Silas!

[@csrlivestock7080]

Carson, how great it is to have seasonal calving, I know it keeps you busy but the advantages outweigh the work. Unfortunately we are not seasonal calving, would like to some day. Because of our climate our females bush calve and it not until we do a round of mustering that we get the cows and calves in. Some cales could be 6 months old by that time. We usually do two rounds a year to pick up all the calves and brand them. Seasonal calving would be a big advantage no winter calves or cows carrying calves through winter. Thanks again good luck with your calving.

[@sleepranch]

Very interesting Glen! I understand why you do it that way though! If I don’t get you a list of our health products by March shoot me a reminder!

[@badgerpa9]

I am heading over for dinner, lol. Nice bunch of calves. Hope you and family stay safe and healthy.

[@ruthashcraft6679]
