Bottle Calf Update! Taking the Next Step

[@woodsharon22]

He's so happy having his bottle with his little tail wagging , bless him

[@l.mcmanus3983]

Almost 6 years later and he still comes to say hi to you, no bottle needed. Buddy is so sweet.

[@Saratonin34]

He is so quiet for a bottle fed calf. All the calves I have fed have always been vocal and they weren't on their own. What a good little man.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Pretty animals outside and you are a great farmer that do your job and checking on everything. You have a great family . I love your videos and continue your good work. Thanks for sharing

I totally volunteer for caring for the baby calf LOL 🤣❤️🐮 sooo cute

[@simonsantander248]

HE WILL BE FINE.....!!! JUST DONT GIVE HIM A CREDIT CARD...

[@dhansel4835]

Boy this bring back memories. We have had cows that for one reason or another we had to take the new born calf from her and bottle feed it. If a cow doesn't get her calf back within 3 days she will reject it. She won't let it suck and hook it away. That is when you have to bottle feed it. We used the Purina powered milk formula. I remember one calf we bottle fed. It would go with the heard all the way to the back pasture about 2 1/2 miles from the house. About 2:00PM each day the calf would break away from the heard and head to the house. You could he it bellow, hanging it's head across the fence. That was when I would get a bottle ready and feed it. I remember one day the calf sucked the bottle dry in about a minute. I went over to the water faucet and filled the bottle up with water. The calf sucked it down again. I filled the bottle up again and the calf figured it out that wasn't milk and shook it's head. I got a good laugh from that. Living on a ranch is a lot of fun. You can go fishing, ride horses and go hunting. I moved to Houston and when I tell these city people the stories they just listen in unbelief.

[@davidsandral.4886]

Im a new subscriber to your channel and all i have to say that you explain everything so well and this reminds me when i used to go to my dad's farm and help him with his cattle you are very fortunate best of wishes to you and your Family

Yes he’s doing great and he is very friendly to this day! Thank you!

[@todphillips3935]

I love this video. Good stuff. I raise bottle calves. I have one Angus bull for next year. I’d love to get a Hereford bull later.

[@rockyrunangusranch-wieszracing]

They grow up so fast... haha he sure has gotten big that's for sure. I'm sure looking forward to the greenery around here. You have a good looking family man, I think you might be right on its time for him to be in the pasture haha that was great. Good video sir. Have a great day.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Brenton yeah he’s good size especially for a twin but he was born pretty big too so I don’t take all the credit. Yeah when the calf is coming in the house it’s time to go be with the other cows!! Thanks again!

Ya might get lucky and his mom takes him on. Congrats on the Sub count. Seem to grow every time I watch a video.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Worm Hole I think you’re right he’ll make one of those cows adopt him sooner or later. Subs have taken off here recently it’s been awesome! Not sure what happened but happy it did!

[@DennysCountryLife]

That went well! He looks good like a good healthy boy. I'm sure your wife will be happy with one less chore in the morning!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Chris. Yeah I don’t think she’ll miss feeding him but I think she might miss having him here. He’s doing good out there though I like to think she understands he’s better off out there with his own kind then he was alone in our backyard! Take it easy man!

[@tammykroll5459]

[@kmsfarms9011]

Looks like he’s grown well in a month. He may figure out to sneak up on the opposite side of another calf nursing a cow and rob a little milk. I’ve had them do that. He’ll be happy to be with the herd

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah I bet he will too! That’s funny I was thinking the same thing. He’ll probably make one of those cows adopt him, he’s pretty persistent when he’s hungry! Thanks Kmsfarms

Proud poppa Tyler!!! You & Mrs. did good job with the bootle baby. The little cowgirl will mess her buddie. Maybe old momma cow that was so interested will allow the calf to suck.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Alan. Yeah I’m sure he’ll start nursing one of them once he figures out who will let him! Thanks again!

[@howardbenoit7474]

oh my god the baby look just like you---sorry mom ha god bless your family,and tell your wife she's beautiful ha Howard

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Curious to hear and see what happens next with this bottle calf.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Well I’m hoping he just kind of joins up with the herd and naturally weans himself off me. It will go a lot smoother if one of the cows out there “adopts” him. We shall see...

[@billreal76]

What is that plaque on the home barn wall with the American flags beside it?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Oh that’s not a plaque, it’s a bar sign! It says “Polly want a cocktail?”

[@crazylvlady]

Just curious, will one of the other cows maybe let him nurse? That bald face red cow looked as if she wanted to adopt him. Hopefully we get an update on him soon! Enjoying your channel.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I had hoped so but it never happened

[@brettcope9752]

Tyler, that cow disrespected you by literally pissing all over your comments.

[@miriambertram2448]

Late to farmer Tyler bottle boy now family member 😊

[@be421]

Out of all the years I’ve been on our farm we’ve never had a set of twins. Maybe this year will be a first!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I still don’t know if it’s good or bad! But you’re right some people never get them. Just depends if it’s in your gene pool. Thanks Brandon!

[@GoodOlBoy1976]

I think you did a great job with him. We tried to do the same thing with a calf and turned it out with the other cows just like you did and the first cow she walked up to tried to kick her. Dad said we can do it so he took her to the sell barn the next day.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks! Got to do what you got to do right?

[@elizabethw1362]

Question - Does his tail wagging mean the same thing as when a dog wags his tail? Thanks.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

That’s a good question Elizabeth I’m not really sure. I will say he only does it at times when I assume he is very content so maybe?

[@JazzyWestBeauty]

Is that a special formula for baby cows or is it the same as dried up milk? WOuld it be safe to give a baby cow whole milk from the store? just wondering.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yes this is a special formula designed specifically for calves. I suppose you could give them whole milk but it wouldn’t be very cost effective and difficult to store the quantity you would need to have on hand. Good question! Thank you

[@annebell7274]

I was wondering if his Mother and his twin are in this same field ? I can't remember the number of the Cow. 🌹🌹💟💟🌹🌹

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

little off topic but what are you using for a camera?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

iPhone 8. It’s was really windy so that’s why the audio isn’t the greatest, assuming that’s why you’re asking? Might be time to get a real camera

[@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754]

didn't even notice wind noise. when your wife and baby were at the chair you put a grey fluffy thing like a mic to the baby. looked like the same grey hair that others use for mics. don't think my camera is holding me back but wouldn't mind doing something better?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Oh yeah I did buy a mic for the phone, main reason was, ironically, to help reduce wind noise! So I guess it’s working somewhat. If it’s really windy the mic still makes a “crackly” noise that I can hear in a few clips but overall it does help. Just search “iPhone microphone “ or “cell phone microphone “ on Amazon if you want one. They’re pretty cheap

[@smileyliz]

He sure is cute was funny seeing him in the house lol

[@farmertylerranch4399]

[@callsignshamrock7010]

It would be a satisfying video if you cleaned your trailer

[@highstandards6226]

They're wondering "where's YOUR MOMMA?!"

[@tobycoulthard7187]

A good thing to do with a calf like that is next time you get a dead calf or pull a dead calf is skin that dead calf and put it on your poddy calf. Then put your calf with the dead calf's skin on it in a yard with the heifer that lost her calf. The heifer will smell the skin and think its hers and then accept it. The action of a calf drinking from the heifer shrinks the uteris and helps expel the after birth as well as relieves her full udder. You may have to put her in the crush (chute) the first time and make sure the calf drinks.. I tie the skin on with a few strings similar to a horse rug. Leave the skin on the calf for a couple of days then take it off and the heifer will raise that like its her own.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Toby!

[@brandeissports3436]

[@henryhenry903]

We had a black angus bull that right up until we had to send him to the cause he was getting old when you would show up with a trailer he would come running and if you opened the gate he would get in cause he knew it meant breeding time lol

[@farmertylerranch4399]

That’s kind of what we always say, bulls are by far the easiest to get in a trailer because they know it means greener grass or fresh cows!

[@henryhenry903]

Farmer Tyler Ranch that’s right unless it’s a shorthorn lol we have had 4 different ones and they were good for two or three years and then they thought they were to big for your horse to move lol they all learnt to respect a horse though

[@irishwes]

What breed are your cows? angus? hereford?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yes. They are a cross of both. I used a Hereford bull last year so many of the calves came out looking that way! Thanks Wesley

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thank you so much BTO! Yeah she was just relaxing there at the table and when she heard me start talking to the camera she got this look like, “do NOT film me!” Haha! Yeah I was just a little bit disappointed I’ll admit! I don’t know if he’ll stay tamed down like that or not. Guess it will depend on if we go out and pet him in a regular basis. Thanks again BTO!

[@tobycoulthard7187]

Another thing I do with these calves is buy a dairy cow and foster them onto her. Most dairy cow will take a stray calf and they always have enough milk. I've had four calves on one cow several times over the year., Then just join her with the rest of the mob in the spring and she can have her own calf or if you don't want to, sell her and get your money back. The whole exercise has then cost nothing to rear your calf.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Hadn’t really considered that before thanks Toby!
