How I Work 40 Cows by Myself!

[@craigjones1939]

I've watched a bunch of your videos, but never commented. Tyler, your peaceful demeanor and gentle ways are what keep me coming back. You also really know your stuff and I enjoy watching your farming and welding, etc. Keep it up, man!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Craig I really appreciate that!

[@ericathomsen1996]

Thank you for all the hard work you do. Setting up multiple angles for us to see. I greatly appreciate you time and effort. Love you channel.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I appreciate that!

🤣 #19 in the chute "My goodness drama queen!" I love how you said that to her!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

You been doing a excellent job with those healthy animals and beautiful ranch. Your lovely family, keep up the good work. Happy Holidays to the Farmer Tyler Ranch I enjoy all of your videos. I see you didn't have any trouble,I can't believe that ,maybe with your number twenty .

[@crslyrn]

Nice to see the process of caring for the cows & sorting them out for the winter pasture. I still tend to get a little nervous watching work the cows by yourself. Especially when working them to the shoot. As always, thanks for sharing & stay safe.

[@missmamtube]

Shalom! Hello Farmer Tyler, I really enjoy learning from your experience and knowledge as a Rancher. I always share your videos with my son and grandsons so that they may gleem from you. I also wanted to mention that you really have great camera techniques and you are a great director. Thank you and your wife so very much and blessings to you and yours!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thank you so much!

[@jjcactusandsucculents-open2156]

Great video! Stay safe! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@cherryfarms2135]

This is a great video for anyone learning to handle cattle... slow, calm, no yelling, no shocker. We preg checked 45 last night in 1hour and 20 min. Had 1 bad group of cows that slowed us down. Always a good day when no one gets hurt!

[@timadams2042]

Good job Tyler! Thanks for the video.

[@dustinsmith1076]

Recently just started uploading my own videos, your channel popped up as suggested. Glad it did, enjoying your content. Thanks for sharing it!

[@koryleague8833]

Great video tyler. I think the key to wprming cows especially by yourself is patients. Nothing makes wprking cows go south is that one guy thats starts yelling and screaming and getting whip happy. Thanks for sharing

[@gregorycross612]

So very very true Kory!

[@ardurbin2]

Work your animals slow & easy, it pays in the long run!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

That is so true Kory. I guess that’s why I prefer to work them either alone, with my wife, or with one particular friend of mine who totally gets that concept.

[@sebbomar]

How many cows do you have on average

[@debannas4567]

Hank you Tyler for answering questions! Enjoy your videos!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Another great video. I’ve had to work cattle myself as well. At least you have a nice facility to work them in. Can be a little dangerous in that thick mud. Good job.

[@triciaadamson2285]

Thanks for taking us along with you today, Great video, your cows for the majority are all pretty calm and handle easily but you are pretty calm around them as well. Have a great day & God Bless.

[@gregorycross612]

Very good observation Tricia. Being calm and patient makes a lot of difference in how the herd reacts to you. Good job Tyler, another good video.

[@triciaadamson2285]

@@gregorycross612 yes sir, Tyler always is like this when he is working with his stock, he never uses a shock wand either, always treats them with respect as well. He will go far this year on Subs because of that. have a great day. ~God Bless~

[@levikleinsasser9067]

Keep up the great work . Love how you handle your cows nice n calm

[@beerandon101]

Another great video bud! Nice work!

[@l5farm209]

Great work! You make it look easy, im sure editing helps a bit too. Again well done sir!

[@karenzepeta6473]

You make that look so easy love your handling system

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

I grew up on a dairy when I was a teenager and early 20’s. In my early 40’s my foot started hurting so I went to the foot doctor and he said where I broke my foot did not heal back correctly. I said I’ve never broken that foot and he said I’ve broken it twice. I know how much a full grown Holstein weighs when she standing on top of your foot so I felt your pain. Thanks for your vids, I drink my morning coffee with them.

[@jeangibson5680]

It's funny how the cows notice the camera! Great video Tyler!

[@donaldmack7213]

You have a very nice set up for handling cattle! It provides safety for you and the cattle! I enjoy your videos!

[@dwightharber4873]

Excellent video Tyler. Cow's have their own personality and their attitude can change on a whim. You may work cattle and all goes great no issues then the next time you work them it's like dang what else is going to go wrong.

[@janiceaucoin1435]

Your camera skills are appreciated, FTR. Great job all around.

[@j.r.5882]

Cool video, and YES , if I got kick in stomach from one of those cows, I too would remember it the rest of my life and it would never happen again !!! Thanks again for your time and video !!

[@brockjomant2047]

You definitely make it look easy working cows by yourself. But it helps how patience u are. You know the pressure point of cattle very well. Don't need to tell and carry on like a wild man to work cattle. Great videos.

[@joewrosenthal00]

Great video-good way to start the new year! Folks who’ve never worked with 1500 lb animals don’t realize how dangerous even a docile-looking animal can be. A cow with a mind of its own is a formidable critter. I never got kicked by a cow, but I got my foot stepped on by a horse. All it takes is once to learn to not let your mind wander when working with big animals!

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

joewrosenthal00 My 60 pound Pygmy goat buck almost did me in one day during our “getting to know you” phase.

[@fbryce1ify]

I got knocked over and rolled by one!!! Probably lucky to be alive.

[@FarmerHunt]

Every herd has that number 20 cow. Was working a group a few weeks ago and turned around in the pen. Wasn’t real close to the cows but one decided to ease on over to me and kicked me in the leg. Luckily it was in the muscle and wasn’t a solid shot. Keep up the good work!

[@nancyrauch2644]

Farmer Tyler...I absolutely enjoyed this video ! I like how you talk to them and show extraordinary patience...Thank you so much for sharing ! :)

It's amazing how much strength the cows have when they try to push trough the Shute when closing.

Job well done 👍 Mr.. Tyler.. always like your videos.. video like 👍...

[@williamtyson4307]

Good job Tyler.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Tyler , looks like your Grand father had a pretty good set up going to handle these beasts. You certainly learned how to handle them I’m sure from him. Good job .

[@robertsimmons3556]

WOW....40 by yourself...and the mud...You definitely are organized...Clearly not your first time..LOL This was definitely a full day for you, starting in the fog and sunny when you finished. Great job Tyler!! Was wondering when you bring them back from the winter pastures, do you have corrals or use panels...Help? You definitely know your herd behavior...I guess you always remember the problem kids....I sure do...lol You take good care of your cows Tyler!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Bob yeah the winter pasture has a little corral system there that I use with a loading chute

[@tedsykora1858]

Nice set up. I recently got an old squeeze chute and repaired it for my use. Now I get to sort of copy your setup to get them in the chute by myself. I only have 10 cows on my hobby farm but it is going to be a lot easier and safer in the future

[@farmertylerranch4399]

You will never regret having safe workable corrals!

[@brandeissports3436]

👍. Well done!

[@sashcraft51]

I was helping you. Loved the vlog.

[@maverick1060]

That setup you have sure is worth its weight in gold.

[@keithmartin1627]

As a country boy I grew up milking. One of the first things I learned was, “ A cow has to cock it leg to kick you.” Literally a cow’s leg Must travel forward to kick backwards. Still I received numerous kicks through the years. I just always hoped it would be by the Hoover and not the dew claw. Those dew claws can and do skin you upp, often through a pair of jeans. Another Great video Tyler, keep them coming.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Good morning to Farmer Tyler Ranch 😊,I see how wet it is. Like you said them cows will go through that mud fast. If I try I will fall and get stuck they will run over me. I hope it don't happen to you. They are healthy and pretty,with all that good beef.

Good, entertaining video

[@btowannab9232]

Really liked the aerial view towards the end...gives me some ideas how to build something similar.. I think you built your tub and chute system didn't you? Any video of it ? Thanks again FTR!!👏👍

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks BTO yes I did build it but that was just before my KZbin career started! Too bad too, that would have given me a ton of videos. Corral design is tough! I planned that out for over a year and there’s already a few things that I want to change!

[@feliccasampson5376]

Hi, Tyler Yes #20 very tough. The one behind #20 know joke. You look like u really enjoy working with those cows please be careful. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your day. Be Blessed

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Felicca!

[@royaltutranch]

I love how calm you are around the cattle. A tough skill for some to learn. My 2 cents? Life’s too short for big wild cows. If they can’t be trusted in a pasture, get rid of em. Buy some smaller, more gentle replacements. 1000lbs is plenty big enough for a cow.

[@lisasilva9816]

Great video, we are actually neighbors just south of you in galt,

[@blakeangusfarm3787]

Tyler, just subscribed to your channel. Great video, just curious if you have a drone could you get a shot of your corral, round pen and head gate setup from above? It looks like a pretty easygoing setup, especially for the cows. Thanks

[@farming4g]

#19 LOL! Can relate, always a few in the herd that you can't please no matter what you do!

[@AutoCrete]

With exception of the mud in the pen your setup beats what we had to death. Got kicked by a brown swiss at a dairy I worked at. I took to pre milk cleaning her from the next stall with a metal pipe barn loft support between her foot and my body. She tried for a really hard kick that made the pipe ring. That cow did limp a few days but never tried to kick me again.

[@TheSoutholive]

Good job man. We are going to building a new sortpen soon

[@phillipjones3342]

Well done buddy thanks for the video proven techniques work best

[@annebell7274]

A job very well done. Gee Whizz that black cow was angry. Ive never hears or seen an angry grunt from a Cow before. 🚜🌷🚜

[@servihomestead4324]

It's cool how you know some of the cows individually.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Especially the bad ones haha!

[@1LostDude]

A friend got kicked in the thigh by a 6 to 9 mos old calf and the doctors told him he was LUCKY, it just bruised the femur. It took 6 mos to heal from that. We thought for sure his leg was shattered. I can't say I blame you for the flash backs....lol Keep up the good work!

[@cecilmckinley9452]

Nice job good video

[@PaullaWells]

Number 29 cracks me up! She was steaming even before it was her turn in the shoot. LOL And she sure would have rammed you hard if she wasn't stuck. Mean ole bitty she is.

[@GerraldFarms]

Glad you got your phone back going. I like your setup. Did you build your tub? The cows look good. Have a good one

[@ardurbin2]

Yes Tyler built the tub, in an earlier video, Corral Tour, Upcoming projects you can C more. The tub got me hooked on FTR.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Jacky me too! Yes I built the tub with a Harbor Freight tube roller to get the radius on the tube. It was a lot of work but came out really nice. Smooth bends!

[@BadHairdayKimmie]

Looks like your pen could use a scrape to get the abundant manure out and then a few loads of DG to build it up.

[@brendasas8440]

🐮At least it wasn't below the belt😄👍glad your ok

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haha my thoughts exactly!

[@robert5109]

Always like your videos, great camera work lots of different shots. Nice working chute for small to medium size farms or ranches. I like how you explain what and why you do what you are doing. Keep em up.

[@davidgay2679]

Awesome video, really enjoyed it, we're looking to improve our head catch situation, what brand is yours, really seems to work well

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Mine is a Powder River. Thanks David!

[@dayspringfarm5904]

Awesome vid. What kind of setup would you recommend for a small farm, under 6 cattle. Just a head gate or is the squeeze chute a necessity? Thanks

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Dayspring Farm. I really like having a full squeeze chute but you can do a lot with a GOOD head gate.

[@jordanesch9557]

wow that's some great looking grass for January, mine are under several inches of snow! where is your ranch?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

We’re up here in Northern California. No snow here!

[@100clagman]

Great video, nice chute

[@SophieMorris0317]

I also work cows by myself. Loading gets my heart pumping, too. I always seem to have one turn around and try to come back on me. Then it’s a game of “chicken” to see who turns first. I need to invest in a nicer handling setup like you’ve got. I recently moved about 50 beef cows 1000 miles. I sold all the girls with a bad attitude and those hard on fences before the move.

[@marilyncapehart663]

Thanks Tyler 6-20-2022👍🏽👍🏽😊

[@suzisaintjames]

You showed the going in and the during of the shoot, but I still can't figure out how you got some cows in the trailer and not others. ❤🌅🌵

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Yeah that didn’t really make it on camera. Out of the chute there is a gate that either puts them out to the corral when open or sends them to the trailer if it’s closed. It’s all temporary now hope to build it permanent soon

[@suzisaintjames]

@@farmertylerranch4399, I think I saw that gate in the drone footage at the end, but it would have been clearer if the trailer was still parked there. 💜🌞🌵 P.s. if it works don't fix it!

[@gramsfam]

Great video! What kind of chute is that? We are looking to build a handling system like that.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

It’s a Powder River. Thank you Jeff!

[@oby-1607]

Fence breakers and mean cows go to our winter pasture, the sale yard. Cattle are just like us, for the most part pretty docile but crowd their personal space or make them go where they don't know where they are going, they can become very dangerous. The number 20 shown is like one of our calm cows as we have had cows hit the squeeze chute so hard, we worried about the welds holding.

[@duddude107]

As someone just getting started with cattle, I'm curious - how many hours a day of your time (on average) do these 40 cows take up? I'm getting 15 next week and still have a full time job, although I work from home and have pretty flexible hours.

[@genesnyder2985]

Never kicked by a cow but when I was a kid I worked with horses and 1 kick is all it takes never forget

[@ardurbin2]

As my Dad use to say about being kicked by a cow/horse, "That will knock some sense in your silly head"

[@weavaman2216]

I used to help my Brother in law every summer and spring with his cows. They were Angus and sometimes a little mean. It seemed that they would always look at what the other was doing and if it was good they would do the opposite. If bad they would join in the mayhem. And brother you didn't want to mess with a calf while mom was around.

[@donaldmack7213]

We had Herefords. Nice gentle, but always got pinkeye. Started cross breeding to angus. Got rid of the pinkeye, but they had a temper and would fight!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Sounds about right!

[@treshawnd.weatherspoon2153]

I live in Sac near Rio Linda I would like to come work and learn some stuff.

Cows can turn on anyone in a heartbeat

[@woodsharon22]

Does the branding hurt the cows or bulls ? I would have thought they would have come up with something different by now like a chip maybe . I've never like branding

[@randaljohnson9177]

Tyler I see the water that is right beside you. Do you think it keeps your wet and muddy?

[@bobg.3206]

You should explain that you have to do the branding before the pour-on wormer. Most wormers are flammable. You shouldn't use a hot-shot and pour-on together either.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Ha I actually had a clip on that but I cut it out to save time!

[@bobg.3206]

@@farmertylerranch4399, I enjoyed your video. I think most of us know. You work your cattle nice and easy. I'm that way as well. I don't see the point in making them dread their next trip to the pens. I know guys that will recruit six people to work as many cows as you did by yourself, I guess thinking it will get done quicker. The owner rams eight in the tub and to save time they apply the pour-on there. I've never seen any wormer fires at the pens, but I have seen a couple Vets jump out of their skin when someone gets a hold of a hot-shot.

[@PatricesProjects]

It looked like overall, everything went pretty smoothly, at least from my angle over here. How many cows did you keep back?

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thanks Patrice! Yeah it wasn’t too bad. 20 went to the new pasture and 15 stayed here. So I guess the title is wrong, should have said 35 cows not 40
