Such fun watching your sledge hammer smashing the concrete slabs in slow motion. You got some stinkin' good video work going ✅

[@JDR51]

Perfect timing for putting that seed out with this rain we are getting. 👍

[@bebe1658]

It’s so obvious that you love the life that you are living! So happy for you and your family!

[@timothysimon3687]

Crown Vetch has deep root and Bank calling Properties

[@kazhastell1099]

Good to see the cats are still there great video

[@bobwollard9105]

Glad to see that you had a great day,Tyler. Man, can you swing that hammer. Thor!

[@gregedmand9939]

And... Some video recording worthy of The Slow Mo Guys!

[@suzannesund4595]

Good Morning FTR Family!!! Happy Saturday!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I’m excited to see how your experiment goes!

[@cherylrosalis1948]

That bottle calf is so adorable. Alfalfa does smell good.

[@cherylrosalis1948]

Also, the slow motion is a nice touch.

[@jennifershephard4708]

I have faith in you. Great job today. Littles’ is sure adorable!

[@Ralphcanoeingadventures]

I am amazed to how much work you go through to make your videos. Getting on and off the tractor to set up your camera. I do videos with my canoe. So I know how much work it is. Thank you for working so hard to show us what you do. I watch Pete on his channel. And also Country View Acers. You all work so hard. Thank you so much. Stay safe!

[@marciaolson4878]

Morning FT! Lots of things accomplished today as usual! Have a great weekend! God bless!❤❤❤

[@cherrydowns7745]

The little looks so lonely! Thank you for sharing your ranch life with us!

[@alleyoop916]

Hi Tyler, Love your videos however find myself disappointed when they are shorter like this one. I look forward to watching you and like seeing you work and complete your projects in a video. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@AustinPatterson-q1g]

Thanks for sharing farmer Tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

[@lindakinsey1093]

Good job and use of the materials. Thanks. Have a great wet weekend.

[@williamkeown8252]

If a New Holland filter is 200 I dont want to think what the price would be if you had a John Deere. I worked on several farms when younger and miss working on farm. I enjoy watching your videos and know what you go threw Keep them up

[@rockyrunangusranch-wieszracing]

Hey Dude, speaking of peas. If you ever are able to source peas (cracked or rolled) to feed to your butcher animals, do it, it adds an outstanding flavor. Its my not to secret anymore ingredient in making our beef taste so good. Hope your doing well man take care.

[@lesliegrimming7630]

SlowMo was awesome!!!😁

[@KRoss-k5l]

You can spray MCPA herbicide over the top of peas in your 3-way. I recommend this yearly to a customer about 2 hours south of you in Esparto. Hope this helps. My young son and I enjoy watching your videos in the mornings. It’s nice to see someone in our type of country making videos about the same things we do.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I’ll have to look into that. It sure would be easier to just plant it all at once. Thank you!

[@Julia_Teeker]

That calf is so adorable. He’d probably like to have a name, doncha think? 😂❤

[@Brievel]

That's Littles!

[@Alfred19947]

Enjoyed this one FT. Anxious to see how your experiment turns out. Always good to see Littles. Glad you’re spoiling him with alfalfa. He looks better. Too bad you can’t find some company for him. I really like your fix to that swampy area. Thanks for sharing.

[@donnaml8776]

Great with the slow motion. It’s really cool 😎. Thanks for showing the cat it’s a beauty. Is that the only cat that’s there now? I hope the others are still around. Thanks for sharing!! Hope you and your family are having a nice weekend. Greetings! 👋🏻

[@RodLuzar]

We ranch here in michigan, and we have good success frost seeding red clover in our grass hay fields. Clover makes good feed. I'm not sure if you get any frost, but if you do, this technique works well.

[@maxine7088]

Alfalfa smells heavenly! I remember well the times we mowed the alfalfa fields and loved every minute of it. Some folks may not realize that humans can eat the sprouts. It's very nutritious and taste wonderful. What smells better than a freshly plowed field or a fresh field of cut alfalfa? Nothing in my opinion. I miss the farm so much. I yearn for those days again. But, I went and got old. 😂 That's ok. I'm still on top of the ground and I feel honored for the blessings from the Lord.

[@MillicentAspinet]

Feb. 1, 2025 - Beautiful snow storm in St. Clair County, Michigan! Thanks for the video, Farmer Tyler.

[@shadowlord5574]

I'm also in Michigan, I hope we don't get the snow lol

[@Gods-Elect]

​ sunny here in Grand Rapids Michigan

[@PAHighHopesFarm]

Tyler, time to cut your losses on the calf. Chalk it up to experience. Bottle calves never pan out. Best to sell them as babies. Great channel.

[@toby0395]

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. Yes, there are some that don't work out, but some of the best cattle in my herd were raised as bucket calves.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good to hear your thoughts on improving hay quality and that part of process is networking with your friends. Little seems to like his alfalfa pretty much! The rain is here so glad you got your outside work done! Good update FTR!

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Good morning. Enjoy all that you share. Has the calf grown noticeably since you've separated him? Have a great weekend.

[@RobertKelley-f1b]

Another bussy day on the farm but everything is looking good have a good day.

[@jennifermartinus4929]

Yeah, the barncat still there. 🐈‍⬛ 👍 😊

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

Congrats on getting some clutter tackled.👌 Just a suggestion but you might want to have the rear tires filled with fluid on Big Blue because it will balance out your loads by adding some weight to the rear of the tractor. You'll be glad you did when you start handling 2 round bales at a time on the front forks. You're welcome 😁👍

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah normally that’s the first thing I do to a new tractor but because I have to give this one back I assume they don’t want me to load the tires. Maybe I should check and be sure!

[@thurlowfamilyfarm4628]

Dude; I hope you get to keep that LS; it fits your ranch pretty darn good. Also, it’s awesome that you tried the vetch, it’ll be fun to watch. Annual ryegrass would be awesome too, and it makes good feed.

[@dalejohns2758]

Watching the Calf chomp up the Alfalfa, I realized that Vegan Chomping up the Alfalfa is making my Rib-Eyes, T-Tones Tenderloins, and Burgers. And I love me some breaded and fried Beef Heart slices, and Liver.

[@JPCMETALHOG]

Don't know much about raising cattle, but I do know a little botany and chemistry. I believe vetch contains cyanogenic glycosides and can cause neurologic and dermatitic issues. Not sure of the rate of consumption needed to cause problems, so I can't state if it would be an issue for your herd. Enjoy your videos!

[@mea3665]

That's way to much thinking Tyler now I need a nap !

[@athenarocar]

For the filters list, I take the top of the box for the filter with the numbers and write on the back what vehicle (or equipment) it is for with capacity, put it in a zip lock bag and leave it in the vehicle glove box or in the top of the tool box. All info together in one place. Guess you could also hang the bags on a hook with a binder clip.

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

Hi Tyler what great ideas you have and very successful in accomplishing them ,your pastures look so green,all we have snow and cold,we dream of spring but to far away yet,cat looks happy! Your little calf look’s content beautiful coat he has.Take Care from Ontario🇨🇦

[@jaclynalley809]

I tried some blackeye peas on some newly cleared off pasture in a small area! it really surprised me but the sod is now established and the cows seemed to like it! Im all about experiments....

[@nathanries6598]

I wish I had those slabs of concrete you broke up here in Michigan they are awesome for fixing mud issues. 😂

[@kathrynbraun2073]

The slow mo made me smile.

[@jerrygibs8120]

From Texas Farmer T. Hope your weekend is going well. Blessings and prayers to you and family in Jesus's Mighty Name ☝ 🙏 🙌 💪

[@Therippranch]

This will be fun to see the results!!

[@Gary-y5s]

I planted winter rye once had hairy vetch mixed in it. 45 years later I still have hairy vetch in that field. If it ripens it will reseed itself.

[@westsidesjvalley]

I’ve planted the 3 way with the vetch already in it from Baglietto in Stockton, the first time it didn’t come up and this was right after Blackeye Beans, the next time it grew but I got the same price per ton as my beardless, so we stayed down that path. Feeding your own hay probably would be a better deal growing that. The other mix that I have seen here in the valley is vetch, peas & Faba beans.

[@paulcasefarms9933]

I saw you pouring herbecide and then oil and can I suggest that you turn the jug on its side when possible? That keeps it from glugging so bad and will prevent spillage some. Just goes better in my opinion. always watching from Oklahoma!

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Hi Tyler I’m just checking in ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dylanhockaday9878]

I gat a speeder to go on the back of my atv to over seed when it is wet or what ever I may need found a 100 pound hooper and it works out great

[@nebraskafarmer9015]

Did you worm that bucket calf? I'd use fenbendazole since you can buy the horse wormer paste and use it. I wormed our scrubby looking bucket calves and it made a big difference. Also, get a female cat to go with those toms. They are better mousers and once she starts having kittens you'll always have a plentiful supply of mousers.

[@chrisbernard6811]

You are always thinking ahead and planning. Thanks again for a great video.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Nice work, FTR. Curious to see how the vetch works in building some additional protein into the hay.

[@Pamela-qn1bq]

Ohh I love that precious black calf. Is his name “little man “?😊

[@duotronic6451]

Vetch !!! ❤❤❤

[@freddylove9914]

Thanks for the video Tyler

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

I would have made the oil wait too especially if it costs $200 for filter thank you for the video

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ another interesting and informative episode ❤❤

[@Indigoturtle4581]

I put recipes and instructions of things I use a lot on the inside of my upper kitchen cabinets. Handy for “how many minutes at what temperature?” Similar but different.

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@Evelyn-cy6hw]

May I share with you, Tyler, and our KZbin family here, a very good small family dairy farm channel I am enjoying? It's located in the close-by region where I live. This farm is run on the fundamental concept of making every penny count -- nothing is wasted. Same as FTR's value system. Thanks for letting me make this suggestion! GierokFarms is the channel.

[@gailrowland1672]

❤

[@ZacVaper]

I always rinse my engines...Remove oil, put the oil plug back in, dump a gallon of diesel into the engine, push and push on the vehicle to swish the diesel around, than empty it out...I do it twice and the new oil stays cleaner, longer.

[@toby0395]

Vetch is a good feed and cattle love it, but it can be an absolute nightmare to hay at times.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@denault3985]

Chores have to be done and Tyler completed them.

[@Brievel]

Luthi Ranch shoutout!! 😁

[@ChrisRogers-d1r]

I'm pretty sure the blade of the bucket would break that crete. Then again I probably abuse my LS more than average. We call it our big blue muscles. Over 50 and thankful for our LS.

[@jaclynalley809]

Karson of Ripp Ranch is awesome....

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good morning Tyler from Indiana

[@motor2of7]

What’s really embarrassing is the Wix filter, not the date.😂

[@benchacon4983]

I remember you doing the last oil change 🤣

[@reaskelton4939]

No such thing as a lazy farmer, at least not a successful one. Good on ya Farmer Tyler and family.

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

🥶Thats me watching your video from Canada thinking I wont even see my grass for anther 3 months

[@tophand9571]

I see your truck is back what was wrong to make the check engine light come on.

[@benchacon4983]

I’ve been wondering when you were doing this.

[@roccomammoliti9007]

Hey Tyler hope all is well with u & the family ÷ the cattle. Why didnt u use the buck ofvthe tractor 2 break & pck it up wouldve bn easier brother. Whats going 2 happen 2 the angus calf .

[@TheDrewCharles]

Tyler, what does the vetch seed look like when you hold it in your hand so the camera can view it?

[@jamessparks2691]

Just wondering...when you sold your calves, did you notice mu cc h, if any price difference between the black calves and the charolais colored calves. Here in Missouri black and black-baldy calves bring more money.

[@acmltr]

You can clean the surroundings by burying concrete shards and large stones under the ground.

[@patticartwright7027]

Anger management

[@jackdawg4579]

it is unusual to see machinery with oil changes based on date, usually based on engine hours.

[@mikebickerton7356]

Will sanfoin grow I your area? Lots of positive qualities.

[@allanpeters4403]

One of the barn cats is still there - lol

[@bobmoroney3643]

Even your penmanship is good.

[@IvyTurnbull-wn5wn]

impressive, slow shot sledge hammer

[@patobrien1060]

Just to quote "Just a few acres farm"........I used to think I was Indecisive......now, I am not too sure......

[@bhensel100]

Why didn't you keep the concrete pad to park a piece of equipment on ?

[@BKMay-wx7os]

How about red clover it also puts nitrogen back in the soil.

[@marywilkins9813]

Who needs a gym membership when you have old concrete slabs to break up! Might need some salve on your shoulders tonight...

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Can someone tell me where did the bottle calf come from

[@kathrynphillips9344]

The peas also add nitrogen thru its roots. Right?

[@karenschuster9831]

Hi, who's hat you wearing, meaning what is the insignia mean?

[@alanclark6761]

Careful, Alfalfa has a tendency to cause bloat in cattle.

[@debbietanner7395]

How many baby calves just 1 so farm??

[@genevieveanderson6033]

💖💖💖💖💖

[@ShainCaldwell]

The only thing I hate about these videos is the end.

[@EutenBonn]

How big are your ranch

[@misty4782]

🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏 $200 for a filter???? Holy smoly.

[@JBlow-ip7hf]

How bout using 🍀 as a nitrogen fixer

[@311Bob]

see your trucks back, what was wrong with it ? don't leave us hanging?

[@nathanries6598]

So with that tractors and forks why not just put down a little sand first then drop the dabs on it and finish up around it. Not bashing your thought processes just looking for insight. You remind me of my small setup only bigger and better.
