Hauling Horses Into Perkins Point/ Family Day On The Desert/ Babies Are Hitting The Ground

We had a great week as usual. It’s starting to warm up and spring is in the air (finally) we hauled horses into Perkins point this week and moved cows further down to help get them away from the water trough and find rock water. We also took the whole family to the desert on Saturday and had a great time.

Those drone shots of the canyons and the indian dwellings are so cool those grandkids are so fortunate to get to be raised in that environment what a heritage 👍

[@1880cowboys]

Hey Ronald, great to hear from you. Thanks, we are truly blessed!!! have a great week

[@nathanwebb2176]

These videos are part of our Sunday routine now. Love seeing all of the home country

[@1880cowboys]

Hey Nate, Thanks be talking to you soon

[@Lucontheman]

Watching Drifters Sunday evening after the days work is one of the highlights of our week . When moving cattle and things go as planned is always a blessing.

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you, we sure appreciate your comments. thanks for watching have a great week

[@user-jg2fx5rn1q]

I love how you take time to explore. Thank you for showing us all your cool finds. I love your channel.

[@justacatsmith6260]

people are missing the best videos on youtube !!! outstanding work !!! cant wait for the next one !!

[@noeleenegan7679]

Really enjoy watching your family enjoying themselves. I am amazed watching where you farm, I come from Ireland where the farm fields are fenced and have green grass.

[@stevenrafters7817]

We used to use stock racks alot down here in northern Arizona but you don't see them much at all anymore. I really appreciate the way you fellas work and take care of your cattle. Thanks for the new video

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you Steve, have a great week

[@timothyboyd5548]

Love your videos

[@cindiacostner1171]

Loved this video! Brought back memories of when I was just a kid Dad and I loading our horses into the back of the pickup to go to various rented pastures to check the cattle. Always had to find a low spot to back the pickup into to load and unload the horses. No 4WD or trailers in those days. We enjoy watching the “real” Cowboy way of quietly handling and caring for the cattle. Keep up the good work!!

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

Great show fellas! Stock racks are all we used for years. I think we got our first stock trailer in 91 or 92. Alot of ranchers had been using trailers for quite a few years by then. We used to shake our heads. Everyone with a dozen cows had a trailer and we had the second biggest herd in the country and couldn't afford one. At our peak we turned 1350 head out in the summer to graze. Cows, calves, and yearlings. Lots of work, lots of riding. Thx for the show! I look forward to it every week.

[@gail8494]

Are there any predators that would be a problem to the cattle? Great video thanks.

[@1880cowboys]

Yes, coyotes. But not very often, we lost two calves las year. This time of year, when calves first hit the ground is the worst.

[@messengercreekexotics]

Nothing like hauling with a rack in the back of the truck. And sale barns and other places were set up for it as well. It’s not used anymore but my vet clinic still has a double loading chute. One for semi trucks and one for pickups. Just have to be prepared for the swaying when critters shift around. Thanks for sharing.

[@openrangedrifter1953]

Reminds me of one of the opening scenes in the movie “Hud”.

[@1880cowboys]

Ya, it took me a minute to settle in to the horses moving around, but once they got the hang of it, they did not hardly move!!!

[@mynameisearl598]

you need to invent a saddle with a baby carrier so they can sleep on the open range those rocks are cool

[@1880cowboys]

Yes we do!!! Take care

[@braxtonbowring]

I freaking love your first gen! I always Love to see and hear how the dogs work, it would be a tough life without our good ol dogs!!

[@1880cowboys]

The first gen is my favorite for sure😂 you’re not wrong. They are worth their weight in gold

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Thanks for the ride along Shawn and company. Things oughta start greening up soon . Y’all have had some good rains too up there. Love the beautiful country up there. Have a blessed week folks.

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks Dale, We usually start to get some Green in the middle of March, so we are holding on to the dry grass for now.

[@terrykoch1250]

Great video, well they're all great'. Thanks Live in Tehachapi California, you may know where that is.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, I have heard of it, but never been there. Thanks for watching

[@johnjacobs4207]

beautiful Photography and area. I love to ride a young horse in the cedars. During the week a video of a boy demonstrating a one rein stop came up. I think they were in Australia. See if you can find it. In 1975 I pulled up at squaw valley in my 65 ford 1/2 ton with my mare in the back. One person said "you came all the way from Utah in that"? Thanks for all the good video's

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks John, we appreciate your comments.

[@blackdiamond7708]

❤🎉 Another scenic well produced movie 🎥 from 1880 Drifters!! 😁❤️ It's impressive how y'all keep track of cows, corrals, water, fences, roads, trails, schedules, food, health and age status... Just like in our deep forests in the North of my state (Wisconsin), I'd be lost within five minutes of being in that desert country lol. It all looks alike!! 😅 I'm glad you found the cows that needed your help and thank you for doing so, and for your terrific videos!! ♥️🐄🐂🇺🇸☺️🙏😍🙂

[@TwistinTops1]

I love your videos and the beautiful country you all get to ride every day. Keep up the great work! Blessings 💜

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks we appreciate you watching! have a great week

[@cindiallain8542]

The cows are thinking. It’s about time you get here. Now they feel ok let’s lead the cowboy out. lol I can’t give you advice I know nothing about this. I’m guessing you live close by? I haven’t seen a video that shows where you live and maybe you don’t show it. 🤷 3 down 3 to go. I’m guessing folks on the highway are used to seeing cows out on the road. Sure is beautiful country you are showing us. I’m really glad you aren’t out there on your own. I was going to ask that later. Cool bridge reminds me of some of the Cars movie. I have kids. It was fun to watch, thank you

[@williamgeorge3154]

I really enjoy watching your videos every Sunday very cool. That was so awesome watching you haul the two horses on the pickup and how calm they were so amazing 👍

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks William, those horses are solid and thank heavens they took it all in stride. Take care

[@susanstone3588]

What breed are the dogs, I'm a bit familiar with "hold 'em" dogs but have had more experience with herding dogs, have had some good ones. I love when you talk about the horses, dogs, and family. The beautiful country speaks for itself.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, 2 of them are black mouth cur and one is Catahoula. The new little female we just got is cur, Catahoula, and blue Lacy. Thanks for watching, have a great week.

[@kevingarner4818]

Hello from Illinois I really enjoy watching your videos. We had cattle about 10 years back. Sold out regretted every minute of it and now starting to get back in it for those deals where you sell cheap and buy high kinda thing My wife and I would love to come visit you and your family sometime. If you allow that!!! May God continue with blessings to you and your family

[@shawngordon1563]

your video's are always interesting I have had to help save cattle a few times here in Arizona because people leave gates open on leased land and wonder why all the gates are locked I was raised with the modo if the Gate is open leave it open and if it closed close it after you go through some people don't have common sense now a days

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks Shawn, the people we get in our area are pretty good for the most part, but most do not understand why they should leave a gate the way they found it. Sure can cause problems. Thanks for watching

[@josephbaker7457]

I wait for every Sunday afternoon for your video. It just makes my week.

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks Joseph, we love to hear that, take care

[@vanveen8472]

another beautiful video, all I had back in the day was a Rack to haul horses, nice to see them still used

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks, me too, I almost forgot what they were like. It sure was fun to go back to the old way for a few miles.

[@icnfxit]

Nice video

[@mikiekirby8126]

Hey guys my name is Mike and I live in alabama I love your videos I look forward to Sunday night to watch and see what you are up to but in Alabama we have grass knee high 8 months out of the year and it is amazing to me how well Cows and horses do out in the desert eating what looks like weeds to me but it is working good for you. You do a great job with the videos keep them coming

[@1880cowboys]

Hey Mike, thanks for watching. Just a little different than Alabama, we have to have hundreds of acres to support one cow ha ha. cows eat lots of brush. Take care

[@johnmulder4121]

Just started watching your video s, very interesting, I will continue watching them 😊 Michigan.

[@1880cowboys]

thank you John, we look forward to hearing from you

[@sjeffreyw]

Very well behaved cows

[@1880cowboys]

[@janetcutler9539]

Your channel just came into my KZbin feed and I'm happy to subscribe and help grow your channel because it's hard work on farms/ranches and I'm happy to be involved to grow your channel. God bless.

[@williecosgrove]

16,50 Pack them in TIGHT ,easier manage them👍

[@user-ej8dc7rs7k]

Use to have a slide in rack and put two horses in and head up Logan canyon to move cows. One time we were going up to mud flats and it had rained and the road was slick. We were just a boogying and right where the the worse place was the tail gate came down and the rack slid out with the two horses. They were just standing there until we came back for them.

[@1880cowboys]

ha ha, oh boy that would be a sight! Love Logan, went to school there. What a great place.

[@reeannarobertson]

Adorable family 🥰😘❤. Those babies cow 🐄 are adorable 🥰. Your family is amazing. God bless you and your family.

[@user-ey7li7vy3e]

I live in ky enjoy how you run cows out there versus here grass is usually not a problem here and your cows always look fat and slick again enjoy your videos

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you for watching. Take care

[@susanl3064]

You make such fascinating videos, especially like the end of this one. Can you explain what the doors and windows in the rocks are called and was used for? Also, do the overhanging rock formations that hide them have a specific name? What type of rock is it, shale? Would love some history about the things you capture in your videos. Thanks so much.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, thanks for watching. These places that we find are the remnants of an ancient people that once inhabited this area. They vanished about 600 years ago. No one really knows why they left, but what is left of their dwellings are all over. They are believed to be Anasazi Native Americans. The rock that they are built in is Sand Stone.

[@RussellLittman-bl4fm]

I ranch in Canada. The only thing a get to ride every day is the tractor hauling feed. Would much rather be on my horse trailing cows on winter range we you . Really enjoy getting to see how you ranch down there. Thanks

[@pamelaremel7477]

Yet another excellent video! Such beautiful country & love seeing the kids out in nature. Blessings have a great next week!///Hey we still use these in South Texas, mostly goats & pigs. You'll see the occasional cow or bull. If it works, do it!

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks for watching, I almost forgot how to load those horses ha ha, but it came back after a few miles. It was pretty cool to put that truck to use again.

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

Thank you guys for putting out these videos every Sunday we look forward to watching them every Sunday ❣️ Quick Question Jayden finish his state patrolman test yet?

[@1880cowboys]

Yes he did, his is on the hire list and waiting for an offer. It will take several months for him to hear where he may go. Thanks for watching, have a great week

[@denisebair9542]

Wow! The horses did great! I remember, back in the day, I knew a lot of people that trailered their horses in the back of a pickup truck! Horses did great! You guys are awesome! How is the new horse working out?

[@1880cowboys]

Hi Denise, thanks for watching and thanks for your comments. He is really turning out good. We have put him right to work and he is just getting better every time out. We are very hopeful about this horse. Take care

[@maryduncan618]

Wow ! I just love it when you explore and share w/ us the really beautiful and breath taking land you ride through! Thank you !

[@doeshires7520]

What a lovely family you have😇I look forward each Sunday to your video with keen anticipation - you never disappoint👍Super video work and great music choices too - nice to see the world you live in! ❤

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comments. Take care

[@helenmeyer8343]

I really enjoy these videos. Look forward to seeing what is going on on the plains...... is that what it is called? the plains?

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, thanks for watching. I am not sure what the correct name is, we just call it the desert or winter range.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲

[@Dinoxt12]

Sure like the Bay Roan...good looker.

[@AnnaMaddux-xf4dz]

Jayden keep that smile 😃 kids are so cute 😍 so are those new calves. Sceneries as always awesome and those caves were cool

[@1880cowboys]

Thanks Anna, have a great week

[@duncancd5375]

How did you make out with the herford with hung up placenta. Can be a real problem short of a vet. Thanks so much for posting your videos. I really enjoy them.

[@1880cowboys]

We brought her in and cleaned her out, then gave her a shot of antibiotic and she is doing fine. Thanks for watching

[@openrangedrifter1953]

Shaun, I took note of the dry lot fencing at headquarters. Any problems with the 4 x 4 welded wire. I need to install some new horse fencing and was leaning towards twisted wire no barbs maybe 5 strands high. Any thoughts? Really appreciate your channel. Yours and Painted Desert Ranch are at the top of my list.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, I have not had problems yet, but I worry about a horse putting a foot through it. My preference would be the smooth twist wire. I put that welded wire there because I had some hay and grain on the other side. but really don't like to use it. Good luck with your project. We love Painted Desert Ranch, we talk to them often. Great people!!! Thanks for watching, take care

[@thomasosburn833]

Just curious, do you have any problems with predators? Good video.

[@1880cowboys]

Not very often, but we have lost calves to coyotes. those little calves are really vulnerable this time of year.

[@user-qh7ee2cx1w]

LOVE THE BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO

[@henrycolby4473]

Enj0y it as long as youcan

[@1880cowboys]

Yes sir! we are blessed for sure

[@henrycolby4473]

Sometimes one look at a dog a d ack off she will go right to the calf

[@chrisoconnor5880]

What’s your average rainfall per year, where I live in South Australia, it’s about 8 inches a year, where I farmed in New Zealand it was 30 inches

[@1880cowboys]

Our average is 10 inches of water between snow and rain a year. Thank you for watching

[@rickyhayes8206]

Does the rock water dry up in the summer?

[@1880cowboys]

Yes it does, when it warms up, it will all go away with in a few weeks. Unless we get consistent storms. So we put cows out on it to take advantage of feed in that area while we can. Thanks for watching
