Cow and Calf Working - Got a Little ROWDY!

We work our first set of cows and calves for the year. I show you our process of how we sort cows from calves and then work the calves. The wide alley way on this setup makes for some tough work pushing the calves up to the chute. That made for some close calls!
Any questions or comments, let me know!

Love your pen setup. Great video, thanks for taking the time to share.

[@janmunson1654]

nobody knows how hard this work is, unless you been there. You make it look so easy but it is not.... I have been there and done this. I apreciate all the work you do.. Love your videos.

[@brockjomant2047]

Great video. Miss working cattle. I used to work on dairy farm and loved every minute of it. Been on grain farm for almost 18 years watching your videos make me miss working cattle. Great videos.

[@juliaparrott7602]

I loved that last mom CEARLY knowing her calf wasn't there, and then ran along the fence when she saw her calf. That was so hurt warming.

[@none_yabitch9199]

You can’t come between calf and mom unless you want all hell to break loose

Handy looking set of yards.

[@Linguinirotinibertucci]

good job. your cows are healthy and happy.

[@senzOwnzal]

Good job, might take some panels to stick in that alley to take up room so they can’t turn on you.

[@Parmleystockdogs]

Really cool working station! I know the feeling between getting kicked in the chute or ran over lol

Good video. Seems like your facility works well. We run cattle in central Oklahoma and don’t have great luck with cattle panel - seems like your center reinforcement pipe helps a lot.

[@elovvor1]

Will you do a video explaining how you built your working pen sometime? Is that just a heavy gauge bull panel welded onto oil pipe? Enjoy the videos. Thanks

i like to watch how you work your cameras ,,, you do a great job .. with them ,, I sure wish I could visit your farm and hang out with ya for a day or 2 ... I luv animals ..

[@charlesgould2168]

Cows and calves look well.

[@garyhunter6030]

I used a portable fence to move calves down to the chute. I welded together two horizontal pipes to four vertical pipes and used the contraption to push the calf into the shute. Worked great and you dont get kicked.. Just thought I would pass that on to you.

[@TheFarmGuy]

Something like that would be nice and I’m sure would work really well!

[@FarmerJim123]

The yard is a good setup for loading and it is the right size for the amount of cattle yee have

[@sd90mac61]

Boy that's a pretty dang intense job you got there, with you running down the shoot, and climb up out on to the walkway and start over again, my gosh and them animals suddenly change directions, you got to STAY FULL ALERT FOR SUDDEN TURN AROUNDS or you'll get trampled😱😵 I don't know about you but after a workout like this, but I'm READY to hit WHATABURGER !!!!!!!!!! Lol😁🤠 ALWAYS BE CAREFULL, 👍 TAKE CARE THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WITH ME. 👍

[@mtncow100]

Awesome footage. You need some heelers out there to help! And about 50,000 calories per day!

[@emmabubbert3305]

Wow

[@bidenisnotthewinner2118]

I will never forget one of my first time working cow and calf. I was running them up the shoot for a shot and a blue die dewormer, that is applied in the back just above the hips. So we're getting down to the end with no problems,but of course there had to be on Bitc# in the group. I have a buzzer but I don't like using them if I don't have to. But this was a acception so I give her a attention getter. Well when I did that she lunged forward but then at the same time had come back. Okay so when her hips come back I had picked up the buzzer in my finger was still on the trigger and it happened to tap just right on her hips and throw a spark and it lit the blue dewormer on fire in that count instantly started burning with flames. I was in such shock I've never seen anything like it my boss was jumping around with a shirt off yelling something and I didn't know so I take off running because where are you going I said get the grill . But really I was in such shock I think I was just walking away because didn't want to watch a cow burn alive. She's okay though calf's name is sparky and mama's name is fire. #farmstrugle.

@@TheFarmGuy Yes,Sir I know both places very well, I've haul cattle out of both and El Reno. Really I been everywhere man, lol.... That's a old song

[@99iwaena]

Maybe a good manageable piece of plywood would've been easier to block the calfs from turning around in the chute, growing up on a ranch that was my job for the entire summer months of branding. Plus, there was no need of cattle-prods, especially when the alley chute was shorter down to the calf-squeezer station. Thanks for sharing I enjoy watching different cattle operations amongst the ranches in the US and aboard.

[@TheFarmGuy]

Yes there’s no doubt that it could be improved. An adjustable alley like we have back at home would be idea. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

totally love the torn jeans on you. keep up the good work and look more badass more often ;-)

What happen to calves after sorting them?

[@TheFarmGuy]

This was in the summer so they get turned back out to their moms and then in the fall we bring them back in until they are ready to be turned out on wheat pasture for the winter.

[@dingdong0596]

You mean by bringing them back in is that you sort the calves and then put them into a pen, right?

Do all the genealogist in your area a favor and please wash headstones and do shadings of the surface of the headstones for history sake or let some genealogists know and I bet they would do it. I bet if you sweep all the leaves away you’ll find a lot of people buried there. Sometimes headstones are the only record some people have of there family with correct dates and where some of their family died and where they were buried. And your right it will be lost to the ages if someone doesn’t do it. If i didn’t live cross the country I would come help to do it. Thanks for listening. Love your videos.
