Your right. I was raised on a small farm. People don't know and most don't want to. They would rather believe your are a bad person. Keep doing what you do. Some of us know.

[@TheFarmGuy]

You are correct, thank you!

[@rogerfuhr8067]

I’ve ran Santa Gertudis, Beefmasters, and crosses. I believe the Angus were the craziest in the pens. I have used kids, dogs, and horses to get them up for working. Finally wised up and use a feed bucket. That works best for me. Always enjoy your videos.

[@longoemmer1413]

I like your comment "not telling you how your doin this right or doin this wrong, just showing you how we do it" very humble.

[@tammybaker8577]

You are right. Every farmer does their own thing. If people get offended, then that's on them. I love your videos.

Thank you!

He sure has some good pens to work them in, and he needs them too. I had a dog about as good as his. His favorite spot was in the middle of the gate. I had a couple of cows that would fight you when they had a baby. Old Butch would go check out the baby calf and when the cow chased him, he came right to me with the cow close behind. I had to crawl a fence a time or two.

[@ddoc7117]

Agreed, invest in a really well trained cattle dog to handle cattle with temperment like theirs. That dog (buster) should stay at the house.

[@educatorally3875]

Poor Buster. He's trying. Practice makes perfect....just gonna be a big headache in the meantime. Hopefully he learns quickly. (This comment is coming from someone who knows absolutely nothing about cattle or working dogs. lol )

Just started watching you , loving the videos. To heck with the folks that didn't like the abscessed tail, I love watching stuff like that .

Another excellent video Colton. Actually I think this was one of your best. I've been hurt twice in my life by cattle and they were both braham crosses but they are top of the line as mama cows. Watch your back and be safe

[@Pambo101]

Maybe if you ever get time ... you could take Buster in to someone that trains herding dogs and the two of you could learn basic signals and commands. Buster could be a big help with a little direction. Anything you can do to make it easier on yourself. Not a hater.

[@kaylynn143]

I agree. Buster understands what needs to happen, but maybe not how best to do it. Herding is hard to learn, imo.

Enjoy your videos you explain exactly what you're doing they're never boring you're one hard-working guy

[@mountainblokemoments]

Is there a reason you don’t have a drafting gate on your race leading up to the crush? In my experience makes sorting cattle a whole lot easier and once the cattle know which way they are going they just keep heading that way. Better than putting them in a pen then trying to get them to go back the way they came. Just curious, you keep doing you but I reckon you could make the whole experience easier on yourself.

[@coyroberts8356]

You know I was going to catch this one .

[@2910dd]

as far as being reliable in breeding back...is the Braford or the Brangus your best cattle for your farm...this is a city guy who works in the hospital who lives the adventures thru you (asking this question)...

[@TheFarmGuy]

That’s a good question! They are all pretty reliable in breeding back. As far as which makes the best calf is a good debate. This year we’ve had some good calves come off the brangus/angus cross cows with the charolais bulls. The Hereford bulls on the other brangus produced some pretty nice calves as well so it’s really tough to say! Lol thanks for watching.

[@leighcowley9869]

I hear ya. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to carry a new born calf a half mile in the snow because it was frozen. I would put every cow in a corral I thought was going to calve and get three or four on the outside that didn’t show any signs. I remember one time I was calving where I had no calving shed. Just my fifth wheel. Had the cow calving in the corral not in the straw but in the mud. It was a blizzard. The cow was a mean one and she had the calf right next to the fence. Every time I would try to get the calf she would charge stomping the calf. So I was yelling and screaming at her and she took off to the other side of the corral. Seizing my chance I jump in picked the calf up. She was already on her way back. I had a portable feed bunk in the middle that I ran too. I was in that bunk for about twenty minutes when she went on the other side. I had the calf and ran in the mud leaving my boots there. Got the calf in the trailer. I got around back to the bunk and got my boots. I had open the front side door of the trailer and she chased me into the trailer. Went out the side door and locked it and then closed the rear door. I hated that cow but she would raise the biggest calves.

[@TheFarmGuy]

Stories like this that people don’t see! I truly understand. After all that work it makes you feel a little good inside for what you’ve done. Risking our well-being for theirs. Gotta love it 👍

It gets dangerous when you work cattle, especially mavericks in pens. I've had a two year old bull chase me around after it got up from being Branded and ear tagged And I've had my foot stepped on by them running by me. Be safe out in those pens. Sure don't want them trampling you in a area you can't get out of.

[@levinance970]

What kinda bull you putting on them F1's to get black and white calves? Im pretty impressed with buster too. I've had a black mouth or 2 they didn't mind near as good as him. Is he half border collie?

[@eddiebeealiff2534]

When they turn & look at you, with that stare, you know that they are unpredictable, have ever thought, in your mind "I glad those momma's aren't meat eaters"? I recall have a old cow that looks like those do, when she had a calf, she was dangerous to be with in 100 yards of...she would horn in on ya at the bat of an eye

[@korbi9595]

Can give you just a little hint? If you try get them calfs running on to the trailer in that chut, don't try to push them by standing behind them. The easiest way to get them running is to just walk against the direction they are supposed to go (walk from head to tail). By walking along them calfs they will take off on their own. Try it out and it will make life a little easier. But otherwise very nice video, pretty exciting to watch.

[@derekwilliamson7024]

I'd drop that damn dog of at the shelter. Been doing this four decades and never seen a dog once that wouldn't get the cattle so riled up its hard to control them. For instance you take a dog in your pasture that doesn't belong to you, and watch it barking at your herd like that and lunging at your cows, you put it down on the spot. The dog belongs to you , oh... now everything is ok... It does no good to tell a Rancher this because it is the same way people are about politics, they have no good reason for it they just have them because they like dogs. Nothing against dogs, I just keep their asses away from cattle. I get ear cattle tend to be a little crazy, but if every time I gather cattle this was the way it went, I think I would start trying to figure out why. I'm not solely basing this on this video, I've seen this prevalent in other videos of his and I hate it for them.

Wait you mean its not always sunny 70 degrees only rains in the stock tanks and the cows ALWAYS understand English

There is a lot to be said about how they are raised and worked as young cattle and how you go about working with them. If you want to see how Brahmans can be on a shoestring budget check out a couple of my cattle working videos.

My DILOVE is incredible!! And, that's coming from a MOTHER IN LAW!lol. She's a HS Ag. teacher & FFA sponsor!! Anyway, when I say their daughter is 'smart,' I don't mean just counting to ten or knowing her colors!lol. This child can IDENTIFY PLANTS!! DISSECT A PIG UTERUS!! lmao. Anyway, a few weeks ago, she was being a turd & got in trouble, or my DILOVE told her NO about something! She told my DIL that she was 'being mean,' so she was gonna lock herself in her bedroom for the rest of the night!! My DIL asked her how she planned to eat supper!! She said "Well, you'll just order it online, push a button, then TA-DAA! IT'LL SHOW UP AT MY DOOR!!" lmao. So, apparently, getting a burger is NOT as HARD as you all make it out to be!!lol.
