Cattle Drive on a Horse with a Frozen Ear - ( Real Montana Ranch Work! )

[@LaylaGuiducattu-lv2cc]

Hats off to all you hard working cow girls and cow boys.

[@sunshine_water5139]

There should be a rancher appreciation day🤠👏🇺🇸. Thanks Trinity for the videos, and I hope that leg heals quick.

[@brianvandever143]

I wish my grandfather could've lived long enough to have watched your channel it would have added years to his life. now it's my turn, Thank you!!!

[@1111dolittle]

This ranching should have been on top 10 most dangerous jobs . Like the bearing sea crabbers. You all rate right up with them I believe 👍👍👍

[@lindahermstad5375]

Absolutly love this! Man,you are an excellent horseman Wonderful cowboy those border collies are doing a great job

[@daveronald7788]

I wish my father was alive to see your channel. He was a city slicker who always had a love for horses and ranch life

[@gconn190]

I have a sense I am a cowboy at heart. In no way do I think it is easy work, but it's an occupation that calls to you. I enjoy all the noises, views, other people, dogs, everything about a ranch. Thank you for the vicarious time I may spend with you, please thank all the people who do not want to be on film for their forbearance.

[@JEL66]

I think I was a cowgirl in another life.. lol I just love watching all this!! Thank you for sharing!! 🌺💫💫💫

[@thehunt85]

Same for me !

[@janaunvoyles4293]

I subscribed to the channel today. I'm a 100% bonified flatlander city girl from So Cal. I've heard of cattle drives from history class in school. I moved to NW Wyo. in 06. This "ride along" video has taught me as much if not more about what cattle drives must have been like than I was taught in school imagining this for days on end in this terrane must have been grueling. I know that this was just a short hop, but I feel that it was much the same way, using the same techniques, a100 years ago. Thank you for the education. For doing what you do every day for someone who knows nothing about this life/lifestyle. It was amazing and I am fascinated.

[@LifeintheWest]

Thank you for subscribing. I am glad you enjoyed it. I have some other longer cattle drives on my channel as well. One thing those old time cowboys had to contend with that we really don't is that those Texas Longhorn cattle were very wild. I don't think I would have been man enough to herd those things. :).

[@Hy-Brasil]

i gotta say what impressed me the most about you just now is that you care enough about your kid to not let him risk his life on a possibly soured horse. my dad KNOWINGLY brought home a wreck, a real son of a gun with a reputation of running off, rubbing off and rearing until you FELL off... he was one of those race cart horses - i forget the breed.. but he was a failure because his hind hooves would clip the backs of his front hooves when he ran. he even washed out of show jumping because his knees couldn't hold up. and the attitude went for DAYS. That was our Christmas present though, me and my two little sisters. we were maybe 8 years up to 10... i already had a fear of horses because my MOM bought a killer that would go out of her way to stomp on anything small enough. she trampled me one day when i was only four years old. i didn't want anything to do with a horse. so naturally my dad got us the wonderdummy. i was old enough to be game but too ignorant to ride a horse like that. i never saw my dad get on him, he never rode with us. he would occasionally shout some information from across the field and trim his hooves and that was it. the most he did was show us how to get the saddle on him and tighten it (and yep that included kicking the horse in the gut....) That horse threw us in the dirt regularly, when he wasn't running off or trying to rub you off on a fence. He threw me into a tree once - after he spooked and bolted... almost broke my neck and shoulder. and yes i was totally alone in the woods. some nice lady happened to see my horse standing on the side of the road by himself and stopped to check it out. she found wandering around like a lost jew looking for Jesus at the edge of the woods where he threw me.. i think i was maybe 12 years old at the time. i was in extreme pain and could hardly breathe. all i knew to do was try to walk home. i knew better than to wait for anyone to come find me! So yeah ...i guess it just amazes and astounds me when i see fathers actually being fathers. I shouldn't be surprised at my own dad. his own dad was a piece of work. he probably learned everything the hard way himself, - which leaves me asking why have a father at all if that's how they're going to raise you? but at lease HE got him a much smaller horse! not some fifteen hand monster that could smell weakness. it's one thing to fall off and get back on... it's another to give your kid a dangerous animal with a reputation. maybe he had insurance claims on us... i'll never know. i did learn from it though.... when i got my kids their pony - wild as a jack rabbit - we all worked with him. he's turned out to be a damned nice ride - it's just too bad they outgrew him. Instead of selling him we got him a part time job doing pony rides. the little fart actually loves kids. He's eight years old and never once given me a reason to worry. Only works a few times out of the year but any kid can catch him and ride. he's never fresh or jumpy. takes a lot to spook him. If you want your kids to have a future with horses.... you kinda need to participate. that's all i'm saying. So Thank you for doing that for your son. nice to see good fathers are still around.

[@sarahporter9541]

Thanks Trinity!!! All your help is part of my hubby's family. You all are true Montanans...and if more people worked as hard as you do...there would be far less out of staters arriving..😂..God bless you!

[@bq1428]

Love you videos. I was born on a dairy farm but my family moved away so o like watching to see what i missed even if c this isn't dairy. Thank you❤️🐄👍

[@terryes1872]

Hope you heal up without any problems, I know what it's like. Got kick myself last year, ended up with a blood clot and laid up for 3 weeks, just getting old and slow I guess.

[@chamisanell3499]

Goodness Trinity how did I miss this so long ago? Love your master class. You live the life we imagine.

[@maryseeker7590]

One of my favorite videos of all time! Surely there is another way of life than what we have been living!!

[@anitahmg]

I saw you first on Peter’s channel. Love that you take us on how it really is ranching and living in Montana.

[@jimmyrhodes1808]

Good video, Trinity.

[@judyvance314]

I love your channel, Trinity. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into this. Very much appreciated.

[@AmbersDaintyBush]

My mare has rounded ears from frostbite before I got her. She looks like a Teddy bear. People told me to send her to the glue factory. It took me a year as it was my first green horse and I did it without any time constraints, but I finally got her to love ear rubs and then to put a halter on. Now she is loyal and curious and I just love her and will never sell her

[@lynnwilliams8295]

She sounds like a sweetheart and she’s very lucky to have you.

[@chaz4471]

Heaven ❤!!!! Thanks for letting me ride again ❤

[@kathybell7407]

Hello from Washington State🇺🇸 Watching your videos takes me to a place I could never imagined !!!! I’ve always been a cowgirl at heart and love watching your videos! Sorry you were kicked!! Hope it’s healed now…… On to the next video …… Kathy

[@ronwatson4902]

I hope you have an outstanding payday. I'll eat all the beef I can to help you out. Thanks Cowboy!

[@smokedem333]

Gotta love ranching! Thanks for all you do!!

[@mollytremblay1396]

I have very little true knowledge of ranching or farming but have worked with ranchers and farmers in my past health care career. I always found them to be honest, hardworking, respectful individuals. Your videos give me a glimpse into the ranches life. TV shows are for entertainment be it ranching, hospitals, police, etc. Those shows rarely are true to form. Thanks for the education.

[@austineight996]

Being from the Midwest The closest I have come to watching cowboys is watching Grit most every night after my day is finished. After watching this great channel I see not much has changed from the old west. I definitely have a new appreciation for the Ranchers/cowboys that make it all possible to put a steak on the table after a hard days work. I would love to see long cattle drive in person someday. I am getting a good education watching this channel.

[@LifeintheWest]

Thank you Austin! Glad I am able to share this with others.

[@modocroughstock5700]

I certainly respect your comment "These are real cowboys!" There's a lot of cowboys Then there's"real cowboys " I'm merely practicing

[@xevsetter1201]

Thank you for sharing what you do I love seeing where our meat comes from and I love working with horses as well so that's why I watch.

[@adelineparinduri]

Finally I figured out where you mostly put your camera on. Your head 🤠 This episode is really good. Full of action. In awe with Jenny Lee 🥰 She rocks! Thanks for your hard work and sharing it with us. Blessings from AB.

The horse trying to pull the whole beam off just made me giggle I do the same move,when it’s grocery day,but I wanna watch Disney instead 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

[@anthonybrooks861]

Love the longer videos just sitting back mug of coffee and watching a great video thank you

[@maryg3143]

I'm glad you're leg wasn't broken by that kick. I've never seen the inside of a cattle trailer before, nor seen cattle loaded. Thank you!

[@kellyhawk822]

As always a great video. I always enjoyed working cattle on the farm

[@scottmoore8228]

Thanks for taking us with you on this ! Great video !

Whew! That little horse had nooo idea how interesting her day was getting! 😆 Definitely had the rough edges smoothed and attitude re-alligned.

[@chriswatchingponies9877]

'''Moooo ! Moooo ! Mooo !'' Beautiful. And that little pony must have slept really well when she got home. :))

Loved this trinity. I watch on tv see a whole lot more than the phone. I was going to ask about the horse whisperer as where it was made was sheep and lush green. But understand now. Hope your leg is better. Jenny lee she’s some woman. Thanks enjoyed. Very much 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Thanks for this video. I've always wondered what the inside of a cattle truck was like. Pretty horse your son rides.

[@Cwgrlup]

They drive by you in urban highways all the time when they’re shipped to feedlots and slaughter. Open your eyes.

[@Ksweetpea]

Loading those bulls remind me of helping my step-dad load buffalo. I was always on the rope to close the trailer door as they ran down the loading alley. We never got directly in the alley with them, they're too fast and spin like a reining horse 😂

[@rodolforudygarcia3513]

Great videos. Salutes from Chihuahua, Northern Mexico 👍

[@glendacisneros982]

Great video! I liked seeing you in your shadow in the first part of the video when you was running the horse 🐴 I like hearing you and the others ( talking) to them to get them where you want them to go. Great cow dogs also. They look out for each other...I noticed at one point that one of the cows or bulls was acting like it was going to charge one of the dogs...the other dog came right in the fend off the cow. That's pretty interesting in what you shared with us regarding part of Montana being a desert!!!! 🌵 catus in Montana!!!! Very interesting! A lot of us are learning news things about our diverse country...I LOVE! Thanks again Trinity for another great video! Keep n coming! The city girl from Cowtown Kansas city, Mo!

Awww yes : this brings back memories of my family shipping calves to be sold from the herd we use to have on our family land up in Franklin Co. Ark. on the Mulberry River- we use to raise Angus breed stock ti cattle ranchers just where u are in Montana- the cattle are gone now and there's only hay being grown on the land

[@SetkoM420]

Great video trinity....keep up the great work...love the everyday ranch stuff...would sure like to see a vid of you guys going up on a pack trip somewhere...lot to learn about packin in the back country.....thanks for your efforts.....its not that easy to make a good video !!

[@telecasteroil]

Your Sons Hourse is so beautiful!

[@iswatman]

I think you are spot on about them not wanting to go down the alley. You had the whole remuda standing over there and they could feel it.

[@lynnwilliams8295]

I am so impressed with all that ranchers do. Extremely hard work that seems to never stop. I’ve ridden horses but the second time I had a bad experience (not the horses fault it was me as an inexperienced rider and the owners for not really working with them like they should (IMO) I was just thinking how scared I would be around those large cows and then T gets his leg injury. I think I’ll just stick to watching these amazing videos. I’m sure it’s a hard life but a very rewarding one. God bless you and your family

[@margaretthatcher6828]

You got lucky Trinity...we got 6 inches of snow here in Virginia City. Thanks for the vid.

[@terrythornock6468]

Yes Sir, Mr. Trinity, as always, I sure did enjoy this video, like all your others I’ve been lucky enough to see!!!!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

Came over from Peter's channel. I enjoyed that 👍🏻

[@tiagomateiro]

Love your videos man. And nice music at the end. God bless 👊🏼

[@dougbourdo2589]

Another Great, Interesting video Trinity. Thankfully that leg injury wasn't worse. Compartment injury to the lower legs can be very bad. Be well Sir.

[@quickdeuce]

Wonder how many people noticed the dogs working. These two dogs know their job, case in point @20:52 watch that cow lower her head and go after one of the dogs then watch the other dog break away from Ginny and join in to get that ornery cow to change it's mind and rejoin the group. Too cool how the dogs have each other's back isn't it :)

[@jeromeknasinski3862]

Heal quickly my friend. Great video.

[@unitedlutheranchurch5147]

Am I crazy for liking the sounds of saddling a horse, and sitting in one when leather rubs against leather? Thanks for the video! Looks like a lot of teamwork to do the job right.

[@seanathanbeanathan]

Not at all!

[@lynnwilliams8295]

No not at all. When you hear that sound you can almost smell the leather.

Good job Top Hands ! I sure do miss the fall round up. Was always kind of your report card for all you did since calving. Best part was finally a PAY CHECK ! Sittin' here rootin ya on eating my new Wagbars ! They're great !

[@benjaminpbarrett7607]

Gotta keep them horses "lined out" ! I rode several that had "lost" their manners and had to be "lined out" to keep them on that working track. Keep up these great videos. Appreciate your time.

[@JD-gj2rj]

Aloha 🤙 Mahalo for the video! Sorry you got kicked. I noticed you did the cowboy thing by NOT crying out in pain ,screaming, cussing and hospital trip like us city folk! Maybe the cows think your big rattlesnakes with that paddle. So glad you didn't use a shock pole or something because you would of gotten blown up with crappy comments LOL, as those people go get their steaks at the store or restaurant! I've seen you cooking your steaks! The just fit on the grill and I bet they taste way different! Be Safe🤙🏄

[@BlueHeelerOutdoors]

hey trinity I like your channel a lot I've been subscribed for a while

[@BrendaBodwin]

Love it. Great edit. You cut out all of the boring, sit and wait time, when you got ahead of the heard. 😁👍 High Desert Plains country. Glad you told people how baren it actually is. But, its much easier to move heards on, than mountain country. Yeah buddy, you took a kick. Sorry that happened to ya. I imagine, your used to it, like the rest of us, but it still hurts like heck, when it happens. We didn't send calves to market, from here in the west, this year. Just some in the Eastern states. We did move some from the west to the east. I guess were sitting on beef for a minute. We have so much hay from the Michigan & Tennessee properties, again, this year. With so much feed, there's no reason to let them go. We sent a couple car loads of hay west by rail. The rest, we are all hauling a trailor load with us, as we travel back and forth. S trip we'd make anyway, so we arent dumping a bunch into fuel, to move the hay out here. Averaging an extra $60 in fuel per trip, which is nothing. The trips takes a little longer, but wirth it. Love those 2000lb bales of "Johnny Hay".

Fascinating, loved watching this video, thanks.

[@robertschmidt9032]

Thanks, Trinity, for the video. You got lucky the two bulls (aka land walruses as we used to call them) did not start a fight with each other. When we move cows many times even if the bulls were together for the summer. They would screw around and fight. Sometimes they are dorks

my top 3 things I wanted to be in life were farmer, trucker/logger, and cowboy. so far my only hurdle is a cowboy. kinda hard in Maine for cowboys.

[@davidbuben3262]

I'm 65 now and semi retired. I had 4 and got 'em all. Commercial fisherman, Alaska logger, Cowboy(Montana, and Wyoming) and Farmer with also accidental trucker, hauling oversized farm equipment on a lowbed. Did a lot of fur trapping in between seasons. To wrap up my career, I spent 15 years on the last logging railroad in the United States. Wasn't on my list, but one of the best jobs ever. What a ride.

[@OneStepHomestead]

@@davidbuben3262 definitely sounds like a fun life. where is the last logging railroad? Maine has the eagle lake railroad but it's been down for many years.... its just ghost trains in the middle of the woods now. mother nature has gobbled up most of its track

Isnt that corralled herd of horses called a remuda? Well Idk, I spent my young years reading Western Horsemen mags like crazy, here in the east. lol

[@lorijudd2151]

I am pretty sure you've answered this question, probably a few times, but I've just started watching your channel, so I'll ask. All that manure ... Does that benefit the range land? If you were to stop running your cattle on a stretch of range for a year, would you see an increase in grasses on that land because of the cattle? Or does grazing cattle on a stretch of range have any effect? I really can't imagine a negative outcome, considering they move a lot.

[@terryqueen3233]

Well those cows are pretty loud with all of their moos going on. I guess that's a sound of discontent. I wish you would show how to settle a horse especially the main tie. I had horses back in the seventies but I'm wondering if I still remember how to set a saddle. Anyway thanks for the video I always like watching these and don't forget to stay vigilant. PS in the beginning of this video you were putting a saddle on a horse but you really couldn't see how you were tying it or I can't even remember what it's called anymore. Since the 1970s I have slept several times so I'm not sure if I have forgotten how to put a saddle on. Just a thought

[@danziegner]

Hey, if you don’t mind, as you galloped along on the horse your body camera showed good stability. Could you describe your camera rig? Thanks

[@FantomWireBrian]

I talked to some emergency responders that have to get through range country fast and I asked what kind of horses do you ride ❓They laughed and said big four stroke dirt bikes 😜❗
