[@loismiller2830]

Ant doing a reach around. You never know what you will get on this channel. I really enjoy all your content!

[@andrewrobinson2869]

Very Good work there Ant , finally got hold of the bull by the balls , it was interesting, and entertaining at the same time . Thanks to all , love the channel , we need to get more people interested as I am sure when they eventually find this channel they will be hooked like I am. Regards Andy

Great video, good to have this sort of content to show people what the day in the life of a primary producer on a pastoral lease is like.

[@974-48]

Great vid, good team work, great system you have. Jasmine I hope those cattle do not turn left heading out of the restraining 'gate' 😮all a bit tricky ... I remember when Mardie, (Jack's maternal great grandmother) came up to our yards with morning tea, fell over in the middle of the yard, flat out in the cow mud .. she laughed & laughed .. lucky the house was not 2 plus hours away... funny as it turned out ... I'd be better off at helping Lou...😂

[@michaelroden7823]

Wonderful insight to how it's done and what is done on a large property. Well done Ant for " having a go". Not something that every one could or would do. Done it with lambs a couple of times but cattle are a whole different beast. Keep the vids coming

[@roberthocking9138]

From 25 y.ears as a stock agent, I agree, the closer you get your body behind them, the less distance they have to wind up with the kick, I speak from experience of 3 broken ribs when I was a young fella 😁. I must say for remote station cattle they were very calm compared to some I’ve handled. Nice action video

[@claudiodippolito5686]

Outstanding well done Oldboy for hanging in there. I’d love to do the same thing one day. Keep up the great work. Young jack’s lucky to have you around.

[@tbasty]

That’s a really nice crush/loading race setup 👍🏻

[@michaeldallimore8590]

Never seen that process. Good to see how it is handled. Another educational video, thanks to all for making this. Not sure how I would handle a 500kg (?) animal coming at me.

[@annettehewitson6426]

Poor ant ,it take me back when I was a green horn ,back in the 70,s

[@nedkelly1827]

Great video Jack , I like your portable loading race and crush set up .Did you guys put that together as a semi unit ?

[@duncanm6589]

Great video Jack, Ant, Jasmine and your Dad. Certainly all hands to the pump. Very impressive set of portable yards. Seeing it in operation it looks like someone’s put a lot of thought into everything and how it all works and to make it robust. Even though the gates blocked off at the water point, is there a chance there still may be a few cattle that have not come in?

[@jack_out_the_back]

Yes there are a few that haven't come in this time, especially when there is so much surface water and the weather is cool. We actually had to drive through water to get to these yards. We do get all of them though, through successive trapping days and trapping at optimum times, using the information gathered from our cameras. 😊

[@Fanie-js5dx]

I just love australia

[@ross3282]

So you have got cattle 😂 first I’ve seen

[@aidanreilly520]

A head scoop on the cattle crush would be very useful?

[@yossarianbombardier6823]

Those cattle ?? Shorthorns?? Droughtmasters?? Fresians?? Great video on how to see it done...Ants a bit timid with the stock, that Carlton draught will toughen him up if it doesn't kill him. Just kidding about the fresians.... Cheers, great stuff.

[@jack_out_the_back]

Nailed it! Shorthorn base with a droughtmaster infusions. Further down we have an infusion of Hereford (on the spinnifex country) and right down the south there is a bit of Santa Gertruidis.

[@haiyoushui6566]

That looks fun

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

What is the sheep tag for ?

[@jack_out_the_back]

We use them for indicating that they have been vetted that year. As opposed to bang tailing. We will be changing over to the NLIS once we have a smoother operating system for recording.

[@Ifyouarehurtnointentwasapplied]

Sweet

[@Mizone505]

Quiet cattle for station cattle. Gotta start somewhere ant

[@jack_out_the_back]

A lot of years have gone into getting them quite, the first two years were wild. He's doing well!

[@patmushan2032]

Nice video! What is the purpose of the mouth tool insert?

[@jack_out_the_back]

The Easy Boss E tool is designed to calm the animal by imitating chewing their cud, which draws their attention, distracting them from other things going on. Basically calms them down. Can also use it for mouthing the animal to check age.

[@patmushan2032]

@@jack_out_the_back Nice, very cool idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@DavidGrassSr]

There's alot of movement at a cattle, you sure half to be alert at all times, those animals will hurt you .. Never been at one but i sure do love watching the pro's kick those cow's Ass . Be safe ya'll , See Ya

[@williamsmith5514]

Jack I found on you-tube that the Arabians process for human consumption approx 3 million camels every year . They also breed them for milk production . What is the chance of sending Australian representatives to the Arabian state to talk about West Australian live Export . Further more invite them to build their on abattoir out your way . They have a preference for Halal method of processing !

[@jack_out_the_back]

It's been tried before, unfortunately they do not want to pay a reasonable price for them (less than pet meat value) There has been talk of it happening soon though. And there will be camel meat at the Perth wine and food festival this year!

[@bigunone]

Jack "I don't know why you're giving him so much advise because it takes away do much comedic value!" 🤔🤔😁😁🤣 No branding?

[@jack_out_the_back]

No branding, we have the ear mark and the EID tag, plus the VID and the sheep tag. That should make it clear as to who's cattle they are 😊

[@warrenbreeze4426]

I was out middle NSW with a distant family member. and local president of the Country Woman's Ass, where she express her opinion very strongly on some subject, one man started to get a bit upset [ Townie ] An old man put his hand upon his knee, and told him that, yesterday she gieldered six racehorses, after the meeting, he heard the owner thank her, country ladies have lots of skills.

[@einfelder8262]

You can say that again

[@darylsmyth434]

I wonder what she had for lunch 😊

[@Juscody]

old boy is asking reasonable questions, jack is being a smartarse... dont you just want to glass a smartarse.

[@richardbraybon3245]

very harsh introduction to ant i once was sub contracting on killarny downs QLD and they were doing the same thing not for me we were workin in other areas on the station could not see myself doing that constantly

[@snafu22]

work experience on a farm or cattle station should be compulsory for every student in australia. get their heads out of instagram and tik tok and learn some things about life and the realities of the real world.

[@jack_out_the_back]

I suggested to the education minister of WA that student teachers should do a placement on a cattle station so that it would broaden their education as well as provide remote people with an opportunity for some relief on the education of the children if they can't afford/justify a governess.

[@richardrogers7339]

I like your portable crush . Do you get many cleanskins?

[@jack_out_the_back]

No, not really, the oldest we would get is around 18 months, as we have been using self mustering yards since we purchased the property there aren't many animas that haven’t ent been through the yards.

[@giterdunpete]

Ant thinks TOO much......which prevents him looking listening and most importantly ANTICIPATING.

[@Juscody]

scratch that last comment i think they are all smartarses. nothing worse than a woman like that.
