Inside a Real Montana Ranch - What's it REALLY Like??

[@sugaree2011]

OMG! I love this. It's a true homegrown documentary. No BS or product placement. No Exaggerated lifestyle. It's just " This is real deal for us cowboy rancher types". A true American story of the Westward Expansion and settlements that are still thriving centuries later. You all have my upmost respect. Hats off to all who do this.

[@jackpinnell3204]

this video lessens the trouble I have with beef prices in the store. Man....that's a LOT of work!!! AND dangerous too!

[@dinsch]

This can´t be real. I saw this documentation on the Yellowstone Dutton Ranch the other day. There was way more action. Here, no trouble with neighbors or indians and no gunfights - must be fake...

[@jamesyates5191]

My wife’s family owns a cattle ranch in Northern California and this is so typical of a day in the life of a cattle rancher. Thanks Trinity and your doing a service showing this. The head rancher says that if he wins the lottery he will ranch until the money is gone and keep right on ranching. It’s about a way of life.

[@LifeintheWest]

That’s it. It’s the lifestyle that is so amazing, although very stressful. It’s definitely not the money that drives them.

[@maxcorder2211]

I live in Somers, MT. Years ago I was invited to hunt on a ranch on the East side. We slept in an old log cabin and had our meals in the ranch house. It was a wonderful hunt and experience, and we filled our tags for deer, elk and black bear. The rancher and his wife were in their late 60’s. Their kids had moved to California for jobs. A few years before, there had been drought and their hay wasn’t sufficient to feed through the winter. So, they had to sell some of their herd and mortgage the ranch to feed the remaining cattle. The year before we were there it happened again. Now their herd was smaller and they had more debt. They couldn’t service the debt and some outsider had bought their debt and was foreclosing. Though the rancher had been born on the ranch and inherited it, they were going to move to high country in California to manage a ranch. Their ranch was a beautiful place.

[@teresamariner4238]

@@maxcorder2211 sad. Property was probably subdivided and sold for housing, removing it forever from the ability to create food for the masses. For so many its a beautiful and amazing lifestyle, others it's just about the almighty dollar. Sad, seems it would be better to at least allow them to do their ranch work as much as possible, maybe getting them some unpaid interns to learn the ropes, helping to turn it back into a productive ranch for maybe some other family in the future. My husband used to have a saying, it's better to make a slow dime than a fast nickel, but most want that fast nickel every time with no compassion, understanding, or care for anyone else.

[@maxcorder2211]

@@teresamariner4238 I don’t know how it worked out. It was about 25 years ago. The ranch was 8,000 acres near Choteau, MT and next to a ranch owned by the Boone & Crockett Club. Montana is going down the tubes from a tremendous influx of people who are clueless about the Montana way of life.

[@danhooper1056]

your all wonderful. appreciate your hard work.

[@MissKitty944]

Yes, this is real life! On more than one occasion I would have come home after my second shift job as a nursing assistant, and there's a new born calf in the bath tub as the cow rejected it, 30 below and no cow to take it as she lost her calf. Sometimes we had to feed it. I smile inside when people tell me that their dream is to be a rancher or farmer. They have NO IDEA! 24/7, no time off and a vacation (?). What's that?

[@richardmiller3919]

[@reidadams4277]

I've become addicted to watching these ranching videos. What i've come to understand is you have to be born into this and just plain like your life. Also, the meat i buy is just way to cheap for all the work that goes into it. Course i buy my beef whole or half and use a local farmer and local locker to keep my prices down. My addiction started with Anchor Brand Ranch. A family in Nevada raising cattle in a desert. Wonderful family. Tough job. I come from a farming background. Too many offspring and land prices keep climbing and little by little everyone went to work in factories and such. The land was sold and the family farm is gone. That's the history of most farms in this area. You have to get big to survive.

[@valeriehudson7276]

Trinity, really good timing & feel with you comments. Love the big open horizon views. Ist time for me to see a cow underpass. Keep making these. I am laid up with brand new knee & MCL.

[@4englishlies875]

Very eye opening, I knew some of this as I did help out when you get kid then moved to the city. I have good memories from way back then... great video

[@anamaria2053]

Fascinating! My father grew up on a ranch in Eastern Cuba, in the foothills and plains. He started working at a very young age and shared a few stories of rising before the crack of dawn, mounting a horse and getting out there to mend fences and rassel cattle. It was definitely a hard life. That and the fact that I love Montana (when it’s not blistering cold) probably explains my fascination with your videos. Someday I think it would be fascinating for you to discuss the difference between cattle ranching in Montana and other parts of the country and also to compare with other parts the world, such as Argentina, which, of course, is also famous for its beef. Thank you! I enjoyed this video a great deal.

[@johndunbar2393]

I grew up in rural Kansas, but never really did any ranching, or farming, until I was an adult. The rancher I worked for, always joked around and gave me crap when I'd be a bit hyper aware while tagging calves. He was laying it on pretty thick one weekend about me bailing when a momma came a bit close and she was spicy. The next week, she rolled him up and put him in the hospital for a couple days. 1200 lb or so animals, are no joke.

[@LifeintheWest]

That is for sure. People get killed or injured by the fiesty cows more than people think.

This video was good as well as informative. About the dry milk replacer: you might try stirring it vigorously with a whisk or a stir stick ( like a painter). It might help the calf drink more of that formula.

Absolutely loved this video. Having been raised on a farm in the 1950's and '60's in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, ranching in the wide open plains of Montana has always been in my mind a wonderful, albeit' HARD way to make a living. Thank GOD for our Montana ranchers 'cause without them America as well as other parts of our World would get pretty doggoned hungry for beef. Vegans who claim to be vegan and don't really understand the literal definition of vegan depend upon America's Montana ranchers too. As Trinity explained in another video,, there are many, many thing 'so called vegans' use in their everyday life that comes from Montana beef cattle - they just don't know it. So,, before those who would diss Montana ranchers,, watch videos like these Trinity shares and understand that without these brave, mostly underpaid Montana ranchers and their families love for their ranch and their way of life - we'd be sunk! GOD BLESS all you ranchers,, behind the scenes we LOVE YOU!

[@haileyardis3789]

The babies are ADORABLE! A while ago I found a baby cow in my great grandmas pasture. He was really dehydrated and not in good shape at all. We took him up to the field at my Mawmaw’s house and brought momma too. We bottle fed boots milk (momma wouldn’t let him sick and I’m thinking she was also clogged up) but was barely getting a half of bottle at a time. He couldn’t walk well at all unless someone was holding his back end up. The second day I could tell he was getting tired. We think he was starting to have seizures. His head would go all the way back and his eyes were cloudy. He would keep going up and down with his front leg. This all happened while he was laying down. He couldn’t comprehend how to walk anymore(with help). Even drinking 1/4 of the bottle was so hard for him. We didn’t want to make him suffer and we all knew it was time. Momma had let us mess with him up until this point. She charged at us and we knew that was her way of saying my baby is done. I didn’t blame momma for getting upset, that’s her baby. She was not a tame cow you can go up and pet and mess with so the fact that she trusted us to take care of boots means a lot. Sadly boots had to be put down. That was my first time experiencing a loss of a calf and it broke my heart for that baby and momma. I know he’s not in pain anymore so that does bring some comfort. It was so sad to think of momma coming back to where her baby last was and him not being there. When boots was alive and would holler all night. She didn’t know why her baby couldn’t get up. We all tried hard but out little baby boy didn’t make it
