I'm so glad Buddy is staying. You are a kind and caring cattleman taking such good and extra care of your cows. Yay

[@elizabethrogers1152]

It's about time Buddy got some 'air time' 🐂,I miss seeing him😍. Hope Mrs Tyler and the baby is doing fine

Buddy got hit by a car. You can see the whole story if you go back through the archive.

[@nursebunny7420]

Thank you for being so kind to your animals. Not like most farmers, I have been around. I am an old 77-year-old lady and have done almost everything from fertilizing Christmas trees to being a volunteer firefighter to a chemical dependency nurse. Your grandpa would be so proud of you. I applaud you. Your wife and daughter are so lucky to have you. Great series and hope it will continue to be the best. I have always wondered why some farmers can be so cruel. These are intelligent critters and deserve to be treated well. Thanks again Bunny from Ocean Shores, Wa

[@mariusweber4990]

Videos like this are great, how culling is decided is really interesting since that's something us non-farmers don't usually see!

[@bamanola3191]

Great video as always Tyler, try mixing a few drops of dishwashing soap mix with water stir until you gets suds for the Wasps . The suds takes the oxygen out of the air and it kills the wasps on contact. A lot cheaper than wasps spray

[@janetdupree6353]

That was a great video. It was loaded with lots of thoughts behind your decisions and your follow through on those choices. Thanks for consistently sharing your vast knowledge. It is so obvious how much you love raising cattle. Your channel is high on my list of favorites. I also love Sandi Brock’s channel. She and her are from Canada and work together on their Shepherd Creek Farm growing grain (mostly Mark) and raising market lambs (mostly Sandi). Another one of my favorites on KZbin is Eric from10the Generation (Dairy) farm. He and his dad work together. Their relationship is heart warming teamwork.

[@stevem5302]

I just landed on your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos. I'm not a farmer and very far from it. But I have to say, for someone who runs a ranch by himself you have a great attitude. You are not afraid to just jump into work whether you have done it or not Really commendable. Your work never ends and you never complain about it. Love your videos and have learned a lot. Keep em coming!

[@virginiareid5336]

Always interesting to see you work the cattle by yourself.

[@Hoosier60]

Thought you were going to break an ankle when you stepped off the walkway onto that block! Never tried the powder. We use the spray and antibiotic injection. Hadn’t heard of using salt on pinkeye…not sure I could do it either. I complain myself when I get salty sweat in my eyes on a hot day! Excellent culling explanation for the cows going to market.

[@nursebunny7420]

He said it worked on cats and dogs also great news

[@chadjensen861]

Great videos!, I ranch here in SD…I know neighbors have had vets come and take a culture of their pink eyed cattle and the vet makes a vaccine going off that eye culture results, they said it’s turned things around for them

Yes I’ve heard of them doing that. Wonder what they charge?

[@jeremystrand6813]

@@farmertylerranch4399 hey Tyler, last I knew, Swinging Udders Vet (near Galt/Lodi) works with UCD to make vaccine derived from cultures taken in our local area. I've not used that vaccine personally but have good luck with pink eye vaccines like Moraxella 8, Vision 20/20, or Ocugard.

Just one little comment because I really understand your situation as a one man band,but early detection and treatment is the name of the game with Pinkeye !If treated early enough with Antibiotics maybe some powder and a patch over the eye you never would know she ever had it!Great Video keep them rolling in!!🐄🐖🐓🐩

Good reasoning and tough decisions, that s Ranching. Bottle calf is looking great. Thanks Tyler from the southern shores of Georgian Bay.

[@granthammond7617]

Best shovel to dig those thistles out is a transplant shovel. The blade is narrower than a spade shovel, and is designed to go down, and as much of the root as possible. (Sold at TSCs ,and plant suppliers)

If you wanna spot stray your weeds get like a windex bottle and mix ur round up and with the jug in 1 hand and a rubber glove on the other to spot spray that’s what we do with the clover in our certified alfalfa crops works great we used to spade the cover out but the spray bottle works way easyer and faster

Another good video, after treating the animal we often use tag glue and denim to patch the infected eye to keep the flies off it and less pain for the animal by keeping the light out too. Good to get some cash flow going from the culls!

Thanks Tyler, as usual, another great video! Cull cow $’s were up in my area so hope that is the case for your market too. The cows looked really good, fat and sassy, good luck at the sale yard.

[@gregedmand9939]

The only problem with using the shotgun approach with 3 different antibiotics to treat a single infection, is that you're increasing the bacteria resistance factors. Not usually a wise decision unless you are dealing with a major complex infection.

Hey Tyler, I use a stand up weeder by Fiskars. It pulls out the whole root and is so much easier to use. Especially on thistles. It is my favorite tool.

[@farmertylerranch4399]

I’ll have to look that up thank you!

[@tommyparks4473]

Here in Kentucky la 200 doesn't work at all with our new strain. I use Draxxin. Five bucks a cc but 10 would do that cow. It last for up to two weeks and works quickly. That cow needed doctoring a few days earlier. Draxxin has worked very good for me so far. 👍

I’ve started putting iodine crystals in my powdered minerals last few years we’ve had lots of cases of pink eye since I started using the crystals so far hasn’t been an issue it also prevents foot rot.

[@tammynunn5691]

Take you an old pair of jeans and cut a 8 by 8 in square and in the center of it put the powder Puffer powder about a quarter inch deep and the size of a quarter take some penicillin and mixed with it about probably 4 cc's, take the same glue that the livestock Yeardley uses on the tags on their back and put around the perimeter of the jeans material and put that over the bad eye and leave it there time will take it off the medicine will heal the eye and the sunlight will not continue to damage it or irritated la200 is great but you have to give it like every 2 or 3 days for 3 days Ford to do probably any good and you should keep the cow up separate from the herd she will spread it period and try to catch it earlier if you see an eye on the cow that looks different than the other eye it will look usually a little glassy or just lazy then trade it for the pink eye because that's what it's going to be you can count on it

Don't feel bad..thats a trailer load of problems gone down the road.

If you spray the thistles with Grayzon or 2-4D it will kill only the thistles/weeds and not effect the grass around it.

Would it help prevent the good eye from getting infected if you sprayed it while she was in the chute

[@lucasbailey619]

Do you ever think about selling them as freezer beef? That's what we try to do as strictly as possible. Gives us secure price and we make more on every single one we butcher and sell versus live on the hoof

[@bhensel100]

On that thistle you pulled out with your shovel.... Wouldn't you be better off carting those plants out of the pasture and throwing them on your garbage pile. If it has flowers, then seeds do develope and leaving them in the pasture will allow them to propagate.....only my opinion....

[@storminnormanz]

i dont know if i should tell this but i put the nfz puffer in with the pinkeye spray bottle and if i see a eye start to water just spray them in the pasture while im driving the truck through the cows. i figure it cant hurt. i really wanna try the salt but i do know if you wait till the eye is past the runny stage it would do some damage and hurt. but would it hurt worse than having bad pinkeye? who knows

[@benscott1204]

I like to put la 200 right in there eye when possible and a shot. Have you tried grazon on your thistles?
