Last Cow Sales of the Year and Answering Some FAQ’s

[@robert5109]

This video was a HOOT!!!! Donkey's with a job, That's more than we can say for most of the people in this country.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

There’s a difference between pets and livestock. Not everyone ‘gets’ that. Another enjoyable, informative video.

[@karenladwig3856]

Good information

[@python3574]

I'd describe a relationship with livestock as similar to a business relationship. You go to work every day and see all the same people, you know them, you interact with them, and have a "business" relationship with them, and that's about it. If a co-worker leaves, you think about it, maybe feel a little bit of a temporary loss, but move on very easily. IMO, it's exactly the same with livestock.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

That’s a great comparison!

[@ardurbin2]

I know some viewers want you to keep every animal, P/L says that is not possible. Good video/explanation! 👍💪🙏

[@Hoosier60]

Was somewhat aware of the goats, but wasn’t aware of the donkeys. Thanks, for sharing their leaving the farm. My Dad disallowed naming farm animals, informed us that only pets were named, and it was a strict discipline. As I got older, I understood what he was teaching us…the farm is a business, and the farm animals were our livelihood.

[@grantboucher2696]

you looked funny running with the camera . you have a real job? Man of many talents!

[@robkent6321]

Great content yet again. My philosophy on my farm is if you look after your cows, they will look after you! Yes if you care for your animals for years like we do, you do feel bad when you have to ship them when they get old or unproductive. My wife teases me when I keep a good cow that has lost her calf that I’m running “ The second chance Ranch!, “ but in the end it is a business and you need to treat it like one.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

First, hi to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too. Cows got you running track after them.

[@johnking8679]

Thanks for explaining the difference between farm animals and pets. Not always an easy decision, especially if you have children involved in the daily farming activities !!

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

We watch your vids as a family here in Ky you sir are a great family man thanks brother for the clean vids

[@inthejcurve7968]

Paul Harvey’s “So God Made A Farmer” I think does an amazing job of explaining a farmers connection to the land and the animals.

[@anneoreilly4900]

I just found you and I’m watching the past few months of videos. Thanks for answering questions and doing a great job of explaining yourself and the jobs.

[@terrysmith3422]

Just recently found your channel, very informative, your compassion for animals and life is admirable. I grew up around animals, miss the farm life. Thank you for taking me back to those memories. Happy Holidays!

[@pattylcravatta]

Two Cows 🐄 going to the Sale Auction! Cows#23 and #38! Good Exercise! Poor #38! Older Cow! #23! Late Calving! Happy Cows 🐄! Loading the two cows 🐄! Good-bye, girls! Good Morning, Callie! Enjoy the ride!

[@bjohme2237]

Another good video. Your ranch, landscape and techniques remind me so much of my grandparents farm in Nebraska. I loved how you climbed the fence and went behind the second cow to bring her forward, and also checking the lead up to the trailer, ala Temple Grandin. Great cattle handling. I'd like an update on your chickens you hatched sometime!

[@marciaolson4878]

Your management and considerations for all aspects is comforting. I enjoy your expertise and knowledge that it takes to run a successful farm! Really informative vid, thanks for sharing. God bless!

[@robertlemoine3500]

Very well done Tyler, Thankyou

[@janetdupree6353]

Qustion: your new baby. Details, please. I get it with the animals and getting attached to them. My kids were all in 4H. It certainly helped when they focused on what they would do with money they earned a the fair. Plus, since they were raising animals as their 4H projects, they had to keep records of all their expenses giving them the understanding of agricultural as a means of income. It was a terrific learning experience.

[@newlife8610]

Yes, please do tell how baby & mom is doing??

[@CurrentChoices]

Fascinating context!

[@karenschuster9831]

Interesting inf regarding the rice patties. Don't blame the county for not allowing the burning anymore, that is totally understandable. Things you learn on your Channel is always fun. Cali is getting so big. Keep up the great work. A viewer from Massachusetts.

[@timadams2042]

Great camera work Tyler! Appreciate the drone shot first thing in the morning while loading the cows. It shows that you care about providing everything you can to your channel.

[@davidnikodym4672]

Another great video, we raise registered Texas Longhorn Cattle. We have to sell about 30-40 cattle a year to keep our numbers where they need to be. It is never easy, and the reasons to part with any given animal are complex. In our case, for someone to buy a good animal someone has to sell a good animal. Additionally, I think of animals on the ranch as employees, bad employees have to go and good employees get to stay. I always enjoy your videos.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Those of us who follow the FTR channel and are in this business, understand the complicated processes that must be achieved to makes there operations sustainable. Culling the herd is just one, an essential one. Always good to hear your perspective. Oh we do have a pasture pet also....She didn't start that way but she will be on this ranch until she sets out on her final journey. As always Tyler, a good video.

[@T_157-40]

Never thought of a donkey as a waiter serving food and drinks. What a party idea if you own a ranch!

[@robynmorris7945]

Tyler you did it again !!! Flying and driving at the same time…I should clarify, flying and backing up the stock trailer at the same time…amazing. I certainly agree with your cull cow choices, plus 23 was a little bit of a high head. Thanks for letting us know that the next door rice paddies is a heaven for the migratory birds; there are not many “safe areas” on the way south and then north. Another great video, hope the wind and rain don’t cause you any problems.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Robyn!

[@lorrieannesilvey474]

Great video. I remember the lessons taught to me at our farm. We raised food animals too. I did learn to walk that fine line. My thinking was to give them the best life possible before their time to go. Worked out pretty well.

[@194853DodgeTrucks]

I don't eat my own cattle, I eat cattle from some place else. Its just how I do it. I sell Bulls too, so its nice to know a lot of my Bulls are roaming the earth somewhere else. But if a rancher says he's never made a friend with one of his cattle, he'd be lyin'. You have Buddy, I have Bubba. lol Its been a year supporting the channel thru Patreon! Think I'll have some pizza and raise a glass to one of my favorite youtubers! Keep up the good work!

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Calli wants to be with you all the time. Loved at end how she knew you were just going to talk so she decided to take a nap. Love that neighbors allow birds a safe place. They are such fun to watch. Great video and much info to learn. Enjoy your evening.

[@travispoole5656]

Any videos with hay field updates? Always interested to see how it’s going, especially now that you’ve changed up the mix!

[@131dyana]

Thank you for sharing with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@barbcoleus]

You treat the animals with kindness and respect while they are on your farm.

[@randybutler4772]

Thank you for sharing.

[@panko97]

Great video! If people paid our feed bills this year they would understand why we thin the herd.

[@danowil227]

Your camera shots are great. Thanks for taking the extra time to do that. Especially the drone shots.

[@LordoftheOzarks]

I gotta say...I have never wanted a drink-donkey until now. Thats genius 😂

[@Leonard-1983]

Great setup well done! Love the Videos, keep up the great work!

[@donnaml8776]

Great video! It doesn’t or wouldn’t make any sense to keep ALL the animals, plus it wouldn’t be a healthy farm or business. It would become stagnant. Of course, you care for the ones you have until they have to go. I believe you have a very healthy outlook and you have a healthy farm which means buying and selling and using some for meat meaning FOOD! Thanks for telling us about the rice farm, that was really interesting and how creative of them to allow their farm to help the wild. Which also (to me anyway) shows that their farm is healthy because if they were loaded with chemicals the foul wouldn’t be able to use their flooded fields. I could be wrong about that, but anyway it’s still really cool and nice they don’t open it up to hunters. I have lived in areas that were farmland and these were open to hunters and it’s scary 😟 because you can hear them shooting in the background and that’s not a problem, what I was really afraid of was the idiot who went trigger happy and shot at everything, anywhere. Always wondered if a stray bullet would come whizzing by my head. Thanks for taking the time to answer question. Quite interesting to see you running with the camera. It’s cannot be easy doing both working and videoing. Well, I wish you well. Very interesting video. Greets and best wishes to you and your family. 👋🏻

[@woodsharon22]

Very interesting video

You are the guy with keys of the Mansion ! (cows are lucky)

[@centermid7mb]

The donkey turned into a bartender. I've known some of those. Such a deal!

[@tedlahm5740]

Always interested in the WHY. The way we learn. More information please. Harvesting the animal. Sold to where please? Slaughter house or an intermediary?

[@Rdrake1413]

Agree with your choice of cull cows. The condition of the one cow was pretty poor. Makes it easier when your cows all calve at the same time.

[@KYKAYAKER274ey1]

Over the years we had 2 die of old age we just couldn’t kill them they gave so many calves but was cool

[@toddcaskey9984]

My question is , does your hay get wet with all the holes in the roof? Lol great job keep them coming . I definitely look forward to seeing your videos. Todd

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haha!

[@PatricesProjects]

I do recall the donkeys biting at each other. I totally get why you decided to give away and sell the animals. I must have missed the episode where you gave the goats away.

[@georgedavidson1221]

That's the first time I've ever heard of a donkey leaving a ranch to become a bartender!

[@philippinesunriseanexpatvi5459]

Good video and good info

[@DennysCountryLife]

It feels great to get rid of animals sometimes. We had goats for a bit. It was while it lasted, but other than being entertaining to watch from time to time, there was no point in having them around. I glad it was uneventful for you! Hopefully you fetch a good buck for the bred cow. She looked good

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Chris! Yeah goats are no fun and very few redeeming qualities if you ask me!

[@kkeenan536]

Where do you have to go to auction? I’ve been outa livestock for quite awhile but I think Denio’s is no longer doing animals (just flea market), & I took goats to Galt and got drop calves at Elkgrove. City’s grown up so much in all those areas I’m just wondering how far you have to go

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Galt is the closest one now

[@gurubhat2403]

Did you raise any chicken or Turkey sever? Any plans>

[@TN-Land-Manager]

Did your truck come with the fifth wheel attachment or did you put it on? I’m in the market for a truck due to a growing family and wanted your opinion on yours? I’m not settled on any make or model.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I had to put the gooseneck hitch in myself. Honestly there are things I like about the truck but I can’t recommend an 05-22 super duty due to the death wobble issues they have. Ram trucks can get it too but doesn’t seem as prevalent. I think my next truck will be a Chevy as Independent front ends (like what’s on the Chevy) don’t get it

[@sabrinamccaughan2271]

What happened to the little blind calf

[@jennifershephard6638]

I understand what your saying, except Buddy! He stays right?

[@lorineidtinytoadplot744]

The cows that live on your ranch have a pretty good life. In fact I would much rather buy meat raised the way you do than the, ' industrial meat processors '. Just basic no nonsense farming.
