Cows Give Us The Slip/ Finding Old Springs/ Drifting Cows South/ Hat Give Away

Had a great week. The snow is finally starting to fall and feel a little more like winter. Drifted cows south to get them to calving pastures. We found an old spring developed by some hard working cowboys. We have a hat giveaway going on over on Instagram @1880drifters. Be expecting more give aways with some cool stuff in upcoming videos

I am always impressed what good shape your cattle are in. Thanks for showing the ruins, very neat!

[@pamelaremel7477]

What a treat to see the beautiful scenery! Hope the cow that got hit made it through.

[@ronaldblair7321]

Shaun i loved this video there was so much that went into it made it very interesting but your videos are always interesting cool little cowboy riding that 2 year old colt looked like he had him going good. I’m still amazed at all the beautiful scenery.

Great show my Friend. We have the same problem with cattle holding up but up here it's the willows that give us the grief. They stop in them and they are hidden. You almost have to crawl to get in there to try and flush them out. I really like seeing those old building ruins in the rocks. I find that sort of thing so interesting. Packing those colts and taking them along sure teaches them a lot. Thanks for sharing your adventures! I really enjoy the shows!

[@1880cowboys]

Hey, thanks Take Care

[@cindiallain8542]

I’m catching up on all I’ve never seen. I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures

[@robertromero3314]

Enjoy cattle drives with all kids they are having blast, keep up the good work Yall

[@josephjohnson7063]

Great videos. I love that country. You're very lucky people.

[@karlenethornton6590]

You are so lucky, you differently run you cows in God's country. Colts are really doing well, good job. I was lucky to get to cowboy on the Gamble Ranch in Nevada. Its a love in your heart to to do a job horseback. Don't know if you ever get the feeling that you know your on ground that no one else has set foot on!!!

[@1880cowboys]

Hey, thank you for watching, You nailed it. That is hard to explain to people who have never experienced it. Yes, I feel that way a lot. There are places here that you just know very few people have ever stepped foot on, and yet if feels familiar!!! being horseback is incredibly special and I have moments everyday where I feel so blessed to be there.

[@blackdiamond7708]

❤🎉 Wow cool to get the young horses out on the range.🐴 What was that gnarly brush mess holy cow!! I know Dusty of Cross Timbers Bison is spraying and burning to try to reduce the awful blackberry overgrowth that's taking over some pastures. Terrible stuff and out of control. You put in lots of miles and cows are looking good. You'd think all that wandering would make them too skinny lol. They are really good at surviving and thriving!! 🐂 Another fascinating movie, thanks for your videos!! 😊🤠😍❤️🐎🐄🙂

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, thank you for watching. The brush along that river is called Tamarisk. It is terrible and we would love to burn that stuff, but we are on BLM land and would have to go through their Land Improvement process, which takes several years. (slow government) But it might be worth the wait. Also just an interesting note, we have been doing selective breeding for the past 20 years, getting cows that have the ability to live on this type of range land. It is fun to see them improving a little every year. Take care

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Good show. Thanks for sharing. That rough country, raises some fine cattle. 👍👍👏🇺🇲

[@noeleenegan7679]

I really enjoy your wonderful videos. I come from Meath in Ireland. Green fields and mostly flat landscape. We have Belted Galloway cattle. Mostly low sized, suited to marshy land.

[@williamgeorge3154]

Very awesome video really enjoyed it . Thank you for showing us the cool country and all the ruins very awesome . That thick brush was brutal 👍

[@denisebair9542]

The cows sure know how to hide! The views are incredible! Thank you for sharing them!

[@crispinaske8293]

I have seen injuries like that to your cow hit by the car in the past, she looks to me as if she has been what we would call "pulled" at the hip joint. Peace and quiet with good grub at hand for awhile should do it , but it will take time, also if you could manage to give her some anti -inflammatory stuff now and again, it would do her a power of good.

[@1880cowboys]

Great suggestion, will do!!! Thank you

[@johnhill1363]

Beautiful country you ranch in. Always enjoy your channel.Good luck with the colts.

[@ranchlifelogic1991]

I have a young cow that broke her leg just below her stifle and walked similar to yours. She healed up on her own after about 6 months. I bet she survives. Good luck with her.

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you, I sure hope she pulls through!

[@richardmizen49]

I would imagine for that black-and-white cow that came from a black ball and she threw a red calf last year. It might be interesting to see what her DNA test might show. Thank you for a good show. Thank you for sharing your info about getting into ranching.

1880Drifters to 100,000! #commentforthealgorithm

[@Lucontheman]

BEAUTIFUL country

[@chrisoconnor5880]

I worked on a sheep and cattle station in New Zealand, it had been 30 years since they had a Galloway bull, Angus and Hereford cows, some of the cows , a very low number still had a thin stripe around them, harking back to the Galloway, and their calves always had a thin belt like their mothers, very strong genes in the Belted Galloway

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Footnote to that story, it was only ever the Angus black cows , with the line, the Hereford and Hereford cross never ever had it, just the angus

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, that would make sense. thanks for sharing that, and thanks for watching. take care

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Brahman cattle would thrive in your country

[@billywarpool3625]

Hey drifters glad to see y'all back this week's video was so awesome Mr Baker's going to make a fine law enforcement officer He's got the right personality for it that takes on usual person to be able to do that job but I think he can do it I want to enter the hat giveaway but I don't have Instagram and I don't know how to get it can I just shoot you an email well just let me know like I said videos so good just this week I look forward to the next one in the next member of the drifters I can meet so thank you and God bless your friend Billy

[@1880cowboys]

Hi Billy, great to hear from you my friend. I hope you are well. We would like to send you a few things, so Trason will be reaching out to you over email. Thanks so much for watching, take care and see you next week.

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

Just curious 🤔 what did you do before this?

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, thanks for watching. I have been ranching my whole life, but raising a family, I needed a stable income. I was a Social Worker for the State of Utah. I retired last year after a 30 year career, and now I am able to ranch full time.

[@henrycolby4473]

Can't get them broke if you leave em home

[@larrylewellyn1841]

Who plays your music in the intro?

[@juliocazares5190]

Where you guys are

[@jeffbrooks8288]

I notice you guys don’t carry sidearms. Have you ever run into mountain lions or mean wild bulls that have threatened you? I’ve had several bad encounters out of doors so I never venture out without protection. Just curious why you don’t carry a sidearm or a rifle on your horse?

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, thanks for watching. And you are absolutely right. We always have a gun in the truck and when we can, we are packing! I don't carry everyday, but I should! And yes, we have ran into situations where we needed our sidearm.

[@jeffbrooks8288]

⁠@@1880cowboysI’m glad you’re packing for your own protection. I’ve been attacked by a huge mountain lion and wild dogs while fly fishing in Utah. My oldest son had a wolf encounter in Wyoming when he was fly fishing. Once when backpacking a bull moose took exception with our camping spot and I had to dodge him around a small stand of Aspens for several minutes. Luckily I didn’t have to drop him. Worse than the animal attacks were two completely insane homeless men who didn’t like me fishing in their river. You just never know what you might encounter out of doors. If you’re not already familiar with Underwood Ammo, look into their hardcast bullets that will stop bears. They are available in several calibers. The 10mm has really come into its own in recent years and is a tremendous outdoor caliber. It’s become a favorite of guides in Alaska. Lastly, several holster manufacturers are offering chest holster rigs for most common pistol brands and models. A chest rig solves many of the issues of packing in a seated position. Best wishes!

[@johnjacobs4207]

I got a star on my car and one on my chest. A gun on my hip and the right to arrest. I'm the boss on this highway so watch out where you're going my way I'm the highway patrol. I'll bet a holstein jumped into somebody's pasture of angus 5 generations ago

[@neilsgolfgame]

Wheres more horse training? Please,

[@1880cowboys]

Sorry, we had some snow and it really put a slow down on our training. But we will get one up as soon as we can. Thank you

[@neilsgolfgame]

thanks for the response! Wow.@@1880cowboys

[@blueroanie]

Wish there was a reference to where y’all r at.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, we ranch in south east Utah, in San Juan County. We have a summer grazing permit in South west Colorado which is about 70 miles from here. Thank you for watching. take care

[@blueroanie]

@@1880cowboys ur area is so different than ours. We r n SE Oklahoma, Pushmataha County, Choctaw, County and Mccurtain County. We owned the livestock market n Mccurtain County for the past 20 yrs. Learning the differences is neat.
