Cattle Ranching In The Desert. First Calf Is Born.

This week we hauled cows from lime ridge, up on top of the moki dugway, come along and see the cool road that takes us to the top. One of the most scenic roads in the world. First calf was born and we continue our winter work as we prepare for spring time. Pray for rain! thanks for watching.

Great video once again! Beautiful country

[@marilynbridges8697]

❤🎉 Thanks for another great video..!! Rhonda is adorable and at one point you said you needed her to "Help me" lol -- help me Rhonda ...😁 The scenery is breathtaking and it's so peaceful just watching and hearing y'all moving the cattle.. appreciate it very much..🙂🐂🐴🤠🙏🇺🇲❤️

[@fleetskipper1810]

Help Me Rhonda indeed! Love it.

[@RossGreville-es4xj]

@@fleetskipper1810 Rhonda, you look so fine... All together now!

[@petermorse9928]

``A lot of miles on horse back this week . the country is beautiful great video thanks

[@fleetskipper1810]

Incredible video this week. Not that they always aren’t great, but this one was almost like watching a movie to see how it came out. That area where you got the last four cows from is deceptively rough, like you said. That little calf did a good job. Poor buddy. It’s a good thing that you all went up there on the day that you did because who knows how long he would have made it with a mama who hadn’t had any water. You do such a great job and such a hard job. Oh, and thank you so much for the thorough explanation about the difference between the types of dogs you use and why. Now I know, I won’t forget. Thank you.

[@RussellLittman-bl4fm]

I really like the way Rhonda works. It's what I hope my dogs will do.

[@susanstone3588]

Words cannot express how much I enjoy your videos. I'm old and an arm chair cowgirl now but I worked on ranches for years here in Montana and had some outstanding working dogs on sheep and cattle both. You're a good stockman. And If I didn't live in Montana I'd love to have spent more time in Utah, especially in the areas where you run cows, I've traveled through and camped in many areas of your country.

[@shawnjack8092]

Thank you for your comments and thanks for watching. God Bless

[@JDerr-y4q]

Love your channel so thankful a great show good job

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

I always enjoy seeing those new baby calves! Mine won't start until the last week of March. Hopefully a sniff of spring will be in the air by then. Thx for the saddle update! Best wishes Shawn. Thx for the shows.

[@fay-g6h]

Really enjoy the beautiful scenery!!

[@pamelaremel7477]

Hope the 2 cows make it through! That calf is adorable & Glade IS an excellent horse for hauling the extra weight! He's got a good mind. Enjoyed the ride-along & thank you as always !

[@timothyboyd5548]

Except for the 2 cows you had to haul, the rest look really good. Good body score. They do well in the desert. You take good care of them.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Cattle collected and transported. Mission accomplished, until next week.🙂 Nice save with the calf. Thanks for having us along. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@alberthuffman638]

Thank you for all the videos. I tell everyone about them.

[@olcowcatcher671]

As always good horses great dogs good views and fat cattle love your videos. Stay safe.

[@cindyglastetter1045]

Great video again! Love watching Rhonda work. We drove the Dugway a couple of years ago in our Chevy Traverse and it was fun but don’t think it would be fun pulling a trailer full of cattle! Have a great week!

[@donvivian7999]

Good dog Ronda. Good dog

[@scottc3165]

Another great video. I appreciate the way Mark let that colt work with his head down. A lot of people might keep them closer. Love these videos.

[@ericfleury2948]

Awesome video love the content

[@wolfeyessouls7965]

What a great week..That little calf was a tough trooper. Good start to the calving season. I think everything is off. My goats had thier babies in November. They aren't supposed to have them til Jan Feb. Don't know if it has to do with magnetic shifts or weather mods. But it's something different all over I'm seeing..They must have gone up to a safe spot from predators to have the baby...Good pony Glade❤..

[@KenJohnston-ci9kn]

You have such massive pastures. How many acres do you have for your ranch? You always seem to be moving some cows to better feed. Time consuming but shows you are a good Stewart of the land.

[@art-is-lazy4509]

God damn, y'all. That road y'all went on sure was sketchy, but beautiful. Mexican hat rock is amazing. Mark sure is handy, Canada will be a cool change.

[@scottc3165]

Mark, sending prayers for your mission. Have fun!

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Great ride today with the 1880 Drifters ✅

[@icnfxit]

Good video all the way around👍

[@ianhamilton6092]

Mark, pack all the clothes you own and plan to buy some when you get here. Today is 5 degrees and that is the high for the next ten days. We are 90 miles from Winnipeg and spent yesterday moving snow out of corrals , 4ft deep. Your desert looks pretty inviting. Good video , hope your cows are fine.

[@ShainCaldwell]

I really like the saddle part! 🤩

[@dieselduce]

Very nice always.

[@AnneBellaHansen]

Hello

[@handyandy8269]

As usual....awesome content.

[@josephbaker7457]

Nothing better than new calves

[@wd.6254]

Enjoy the video very much beautiful scenery as always was wondering how the hay field is coming along

[@KenBurrell-h1z]

Congratulations to Mark! I served my mission in the Canada Winnipeg Mission in 1977-1979. He will have a great experience. Ken Burrell

[@shawnjack8092]

Soooo Cool! Thanks

[@douglaswilliams4735]

You need a cow trained dog, and dog trained cows. Looks like a pretty good start on both.

[@cindiallain8542]

Hello Cowboys! I should check out the dog that doesn’t bark. Mine bark all the time. lol at one time I had a Sheltie. She was forever herding the kiddos and the table legs. lol beautiful country, I don’t think I would want to ride or drive that road tho. Do you ever see arrow heads while you are riding around? Beautiful sunset. Would make a perfect jigsaw puzzle. lol what a good Mama tho. A couple of steps and she stops and waits for baby. Baby is having an awfully hard time. Couldn’t you put the calf up with you and the Mama would follow you? Thirsty cows. I asked that question before you did it. Too much work to erase. lol what a great video. So interesting about the saddle. I’ve really enjoyed learning about this. So interesting today. I hope y’all have a great week. Thank you

[@shawnjack8092]

Thank you Cindi, we sure appreciate you comments. have a great week

[@jbrittain4605]

You're getting work done with your dog, that's the main objective. She's doing good. I think you're missing out on her greatest instinct, which is to balance and bring the stock to you, this accomplishes 2 things your in front picking the trail and bringing stock to you makes them gentle. Again your dog do what works for you.

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Yes you can train and breed dogs that do both, in NZ we call them a handy dog

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@veragamsky1734]

WHOOOA.......too high. I have always had a problem with heights and when you show that edge of the plateau it actually makes my stomach turn, or feels that way. It's beautiful country. Did you make all the saddles your family uses? What about the bridles?

[@shawnjack8092]

Yes, I did make all our saddles and head stalls. I love making gear!!! Thanks for watching

[@kytyllen9109]

Did you say what happened to the two sick cows? Loved the video ss usual. That trip driving on the Dugway? scared me and I'm not even there! Scared of heights😮 Thanks❤

[@shawnjack8092]

We took the 2 cows into town and are trying to figure out what is going on with them. The vet thinks it is something they ate??? unfortunately they are not getting any better

[@tycox2444]

I always hit the Like Thumbs Up button. Why do you guys do Pasture Rotation? This is a really long video. Do you guys prefer to use Roping, Split or Mecate reins? Are you guys going to get some shirts with your Logo on it? Are guys going to get some stickers of your Logo? What is a Permit for your Ranch, what does that mean? When does Calving officially start on your Ranch? The cattle look good and healthy.

[@SamuelHouston-ns8bm]

Great video. Where you able to figure out why the two cow's are sickly

[@ranchlifelogic1991]

We haven’t seen your sorrel colt much. Do you still have him and how is he progressing?

[@shawnjack8092]

Hi, thanks for asking about him. He is actually with a trainer. We just did not have time to start all three colts and to keep them going, so we sent him to a friend of ours that starts horses. We will keep you posted on how he is doing.

[@terrykoch1250]

have you ever tried using donkeys? Don't know if they work for cattle but as you probably know they work great on sheep.

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

What stops the cows from messing up your solar panels ?

[@shawnjack8092]

Well we have to keep fence around them or they will break them all up. This is a brand new well and we put the fence up after we unloaded the cows. Thanks for watching

[@henrycolby4473]

Wild cowboys make wild cows. You guys are my kind. If you have time watch a video of broncs and docs. Good grief

[@charliepeppard]

How come you didn't have your dog with you all of the days?

[@shawnjack8092]

Great question, when I have several people going, I don't usually take dogs, because it is hard to have dogs work with lots of people if that makes sense. on the last day, when we found that calf, I decided to leave her in the trailer when I saw that cow off by herself, I figured she might have a calf and dogs and calves make the cows nervous. Thanks for watching

[@kayrushton1108]

Hi guys thanks for the great videos. We’ve bred and worked dogs on large places in Australia for 30 years. On one property my husband and we did all the mustering of cattle on our own, we would walk up to 500 head just the 2 of us with the dogs. Best way to work cattle, we had to do a lot of cattle education with the dogs so the cattle don’t fight with the dogs and understand what the dogs wanted. 🇦🇺
