Getting Ahead in the Shop and a Herd Update

[@yvonnechristmas2616]

❤FTR, you are the most creative farmer/rancher on u-tube. Your skills are amazing. You could build a space ship. You know the saying " when pigs fly "? You could make that happen, I swear ! It's always a pleasure to watch you, I personaly wish your video's were longer.🏆🥇

[@jerrygibs8120]

Wasn't there a movie made about that,?"ASTRONAUT FARMER". Maybe a sequel🤔...I'd watch it if FTR was the star.

[@kimhuggins4812]

I 100% agree with you Yvonne 😊

[@anneoreilly4900]

I’ve enjoyed the videos getting longer as the years go by. Love every minute.

[@jackieconnor6845]

Totally agree 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻xx

[@TheTlangdon]

I live in NC. The storm devastated a lot of areas around me. It’s nice to watch Farmer Tyler going through his day getting things done. It takes my mind off the chaos. The pigs will enjoy the new feeder!

[@lucygreen888]

So sorry about what you guys are going through.

[@HollyAZ]

Best wishes for better days ahead.

[@capuchinfriarsusa]

Can't get over how chill your cattle are.

[@lhenneman6447]

That’s by design. Select the calm ones, not the crazies.

[@markschumacher7408]

It is good to see Buddy. Everyone should have a 1500 pound pet.

[@thomaskeil1437]

I think Grandpa would approve.

[@JC-uq5gi]

I know I'm not the only one that feels this way, but it's pretty remarkable what you're accomplishing Tyler. Strong work young fella. You're really getting everything tightened up to suit your needs. It's been a lot of fun to watch, and you're still my favorite creator. I look forward to every video. Thank you for your efforts. All the best to you guys.

[@RoBA7]

I also just love watching the cows grazing or moving around. No need for big happenings, just see them doing their thing. Cows are great and yours look awesome!

[@davidcooke8825]

Such a lovely video. Really appreciate how much you pack into these. Even that tiny bit at the end where Callie is goofing around❤

[@kwtoyman]

The way you feed your herd certainly has influenced how gentle they are. The more often you give them hay the less waste there is, and like with rotational grazing, when they see you in the field they are wondering, “What’s Tyler doing…..when he comes around good things happen “ Good job on the pig feeder…..your not just a craftsman, your an ARTIST 🤠

[@jenniferbrown8557]

I don't normally comment on the videos but I just wanted to say that I really like and appreciate the diversity of the content you put out, my husband is a full time farmer and I just love watching him work around our farm so I can understand and appreciate all the different projects and improvements you do on your farm/ranch...I hope you have a blessed day! 😊

[@BarbaraPage_aboutMe]

I really enjoy you interacting with the cattle.

[@elizabethrogers1152]

Me too!

[@billreal76]

Always enjoy watching you do your farm chores and fabricating your projects.

[@denault3985]

The plans always change, Tyler's motto. Great job on the pig feeder, can't wait to see it completed!

[@pennynealeigh6557]

What 's the plan to fill the pig feeder?

[@lindacbenson4400]

One thing I don't think Tyler addressed was the large openings on the ends of the skids. Seems like an open invitation to wasps!

[@denault3985]

I agree, hope Tyler caps the openings.

[@joycefoose2049]

Callie sure does love you

[@liljoeii6091]

That's got to be the sturdiest pig feeder that will last a long time thank you for the video

[@shellymb]

I have struggled with bearing removal ... I bet many viewers will relate to this!

[@4gottenShadow]

Loved seeing the herd and watching you interact with them. Those calves were watching you the whole time. 😂

[@melodeecurtis2999]

Tyler, the pig feeder looks great!!! You are one hard worker and you do an excellent job in everything you do! The herd looks great and I love that you can pet the bulls! Great content as always! Sending love from Utah🥰

[@williamokeeffe9874]

Animals know when a person is kind

[@kevinschroeder3889]

I was rewatching one of your older videos. Your fence in the cattle yard was in pretty rough shape. Now it looks great. All that hard work paid off nicely. Atta boy FTR

[@robertphillips2659]

It is fun watching you build custom things for the animals. That, to me, is part of the fun of raising animals /livestock is the innovation. Can't wait to see you build a bail roler

[@ardurbin2]

Calm cattle are keepers, no crazies allowed in FTR herd.

[@melaniedavis2526]

I've really enjoyed watching your videos! Love how your cows are named and they just seem to know who you are and they love that!! You're such a caring person with your animals! Also, I really like how your pig feeder is turning out. You've really done a fabulous job! Lucky pigs! Can't wait to see them eating from it! Thank you for sharing.

[@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426]

My grandaddy had a herd of around 30 pasture pets when I was growing up. All of them loved scratches 💙💙💙

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Great progress on the Shop tasks. Love the up close and personal look at the herd.

[@spb81]

Little Boy is such an amazing looking bull.

[@reginaghee3768]

Always love seeing Buddy. With the issue you have there with wasps, are you planning on closing the holes on the pig feeder pipe skids? You do an awesome job by yourself, Tyler. Watching you is constantly a pleasure.

[@jennifershephard4708]

It’s always nice to see the animals especially Buddy! The mascot or ambassador of FTR. The pig feeder looks great excited to see it painted. You’ve said you don’t like to paint but painting the feeder will protect it as you know plus it will make it look nice. Calli looks happy!

[@maureembjork6511]

Pasture pets bring you to a happy place. They work for you so you should be treating them well. Weening myasthenia 2 babies as we speak. Nit sure how long this will take but they are doing well .

[@michellecook3302]

Everyone want a little love. Cant leave anyone out! LOLOL! I always learn something watching you. Thanks a bunch

[@jmat5857]

I appreciate all of the safety equipment you use or wear when you are working with your tools. Great example.

[@genevieveanderson6033]

💖💖💖💖💖 My 2 cents on the pig feeder is that you should mark it with your cattle brand after you paint it. It’d be cool to have the LA that’s on your barn and cattle on the feeder as well.

[@lucygreen888]

Pig feeder looks amazing. Great that you can pet some of your livestock. 😊

[@jackieconnor6845]

Tyler…..you are soooooo excellent it’s untrue, I’m always waiting for your videos 😃😃😃😃🥰🥰xx

[@sherrychapman1621]

I enjoyed your video today..I’ve been thinking about Callie.😢 I hope she’s doing ok and you all too🙏♥️..may God bless you all..

[@marciaolson4878]

The pig feeder looks great FT! Seeing the cattle come to you to get a pet just shows how good you are with them! You’re definitely in your element and I’m happy for you as that is really important. Tx for taking us along! ❤❤

[@suzisaintjames]

Re: pig feeder. Didn't you buy that rubber mat that you cut down for the flaps/doors to the feed troughs? 💕🌞🌵😷

[@robertkelley1990]

The pig feeder is comming right along can’t wait to see the finished product have a good day.

[@timsutherland5089]

Better hog feeder than you could buy and for sure will outlast any store bought one

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good progress this past few days. Yes the seasons are changing! Always good to hear your thoughts on herd management and future plans! Good post FTR!

[@cherylkoenig5509]

Robot is gorgeous! And about the pig feeder. You put in your time and welding materials.

[@chrissiemorton4126]

Pretty heifer!!Buddy was just keeping her calm...

[@pawelmatus]

18 is a beautiful cow!!!

[@jeriniksich128]

I always enjoy your videos. It's so calming to watch the things you do.

[@westsidesjvalley]

Once again another nice fab job by FTR

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Good to see all the cattle. Im surprised that Rivet isn't more friendly. Have a great day.

[@BKMay-wx7os]

I wish you would just read my comment about mixing half cornbread and half baking soda together and putting it in a container that they can access,and also keep it dry.

[@danrose3233]

I have run Vermeer and John Deere twin V rakes. I have tried saving money by buying aftermarket teeth at Tractor Supply but have always been greatly disappointed in how long they last. OEM/Vermeer teeth are superior in longevity. Paying a little more up front is worth the time savings of constantly changing teeth when you need to be raking/baling. I am not sure if the same holds true for New Holland but I would guess so.

[@annebell7274]

Big boy Buddy ❤❤❤

[@farmgirl4958]

I always look forward to your videos.

[@justmyopinion80]

Tylerisms Having the right tools makes such a big difference. My goal is to get it done before I butcher the pigs. That is the plan for today, but as yo all know the plan often changes. This is the part that I tell you how I am going to ________________________, but I haven't figured it out yet. When there is food to be had, there is not much that they won't do to get it. Well I have developed a number of pasture pets. I so not know if that is good or bad.

[@JP-jq1qx]

I have had really good luck with my battery powered Tomcat trap, it has gotten about three rats so far. They come to my grill on my porch to investigate and when I see signs of them, I bate the trap with a bit of cooked jJmmie Dean breakfast sausage in the bait area. I think it takes four C cells so buy those as well

[@marilyncapehart663]

Hi Tyler a good rancher and good with your Cattle’s Happy Weekend 10-3-2024👍🏽👍🏽❤️

[@marionsmith1464]

Amazing pig feeder, patent your design

[@mariebreitkreutz7471]

I would suggest that you put a pad on each leg, first to keep them from sinking into the ground, second each should have a hole in them to be staked down to prevent movement and tipped over by 250-300 lb hogs ( been there experienced that)

[@freddylove9914]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO TYLER GREAT JOB 👍

[@USSBB62]

Buddy must have a little Ham in his genetics. Camera Hog !

[@BKMay-wx7os]

It really works and you don't need to worry about cats.

[@KarenHildebrand-g4i]

I think a drain would be nice on the bottom of the pig feeder

[@jamessparks2691]

My brother picked out replacement heifers. At 12mos old 2 of these heifers calved 1 day apart. No assistance needed. They are raising their calves. They rebred at 14 mos old. It can happen. Keep the videos coming.

[@hackatak]

Another great video. I am surprised at the 90-day breeding season, leaving the bull with the herd for this long. This just extends the calving season making it less manageable. A 60-65 day breeding season will allow for up to 3 menstrual cycles for healthy mother cows, if they aren't bred in that window, then they need to be on the cull list. Secondly, a 60-day calving season also leads to a more uniform calf crop and consistency within the cows as to focusing on those that reproduce within a specific window of time. Fertility is the single most important trait in any herd and that is where majority of producers focus first to maintain profitability and productivity.

[@kathrynbraun2073]

Great workmanship! Fun to follow along.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

Will you cap the pipe skids? Those pipes will make a great home for wasps. I am impressed; when you build something, it will last a lifetime.

[@joannthompson765]

Thanks for sharing.

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks love the way you manage your videos! I watch more utube than I should probably. Your videos just meld to gather satisfyingly. 😊

[@briangrammer898]

Another great ❤VIDEO ❤can’t wait to see calving season start ❤

[@thomasheaney2087]

Thanks

If anyone could do this you could, Your a jack of all trades,l am so proud of you', your no2 grand ma

[@shawnh8754]

It's nice when you get that infrastructure in place.

[@jackieconnor6845]

Love it already 🥰🥰🥰xx

“Culled” = “Freezer Camp” LOL😂😂😂

[@KathrynCarbone-u7v]

I like ALL your content!

Your intros are among the best I watch! New dog???

[@karenhampton-v9s]

Another great video! Very informative!! Always looking forward to your next video!!

[@elizabethrogers1152]

Buddy🥰

[@philipeyraud5316]

dont forget to put caps on the skids.

[@coyroberts8356]

That shop floor is noice!!!😮

[@leahallen2984]

Every day is a school day on FTR!

[@AustinPatterson-q1g]

Cattle look good farmer Tyler ranch

[@elliottgatehouse6568]

Why didn't you plug the holes in the pig rails on the bottom Don't want to leave wasp spots.

[@dibell3662]

What do the calf’s look like that came from Little Boy and Bismarck Moms? Just curious if they look really good also. Got a chuckle from pink eyes ring around the eye. Are you going to plug up the ends on the pig feeder piles or not cause they will be in the mud🐝🐍? Thanks for another great video I so look forward to them. ❤️🙏🏼🦋

[@SteveCollins-z6t]

Pigs are funny!! Be Safe

[@ruthbrown2186]

The legs is a good place for bees and wasp

[@gailrowland1672]

❤

[@dmark6699]

Good Mourning from Washington state.

[@grantboucher9342]

i always like your thoughts on individual cows

[@rickycarwile3591]

I think you should seal the pipe they will fill with mud and water

[@lindakinsey1093]

Good job on the pig feeder. The pig tried to get up when you fed but had to many on top of him to make it. Pig pile. lol thanks.

[@thomasburton5843]

The pig will use the skids as a step to reach the food. At least 2 sides will have a step

[@JohnWinsemius]

Put caps on the skids ........ keeps the wasps out of the skids

[@thetundra]

I was thinking the same!

[@cajunnathan4586]

That Pig Feeder will work wonderful for the next set of pigs. Ha Ha!

[@cajunnathan4586]

The Cat (opossum, skunk, raccoon) is definitely clean out the Cat Food Pan

[@AirplanBuilds2]

keep up the god work bro

[@mariebreitkreutz7471]

See the runners better idea than my suggestion

[@micah06v8]

One thing I'm curious about with those pipes skids not being capped off. Considering the problems you have with wasps, isn't that just going to be a wasp super hidey hole? If that happens your pigs won't get near the feeder because they'll get stung.

[@duanejohnson334]

Maybe cap the ends of pipe, that sit on the ground, to keep mice or rodents out

[@johnzink3309]

Thx
