Introducing The Bottle Calves to the Cow Herd

[@maxinerose2096]

Love how Buddy came right up to the calves. Smokie knew where his breakfast comes from.

[@gregedmand9939]

Buddy was definitely thinking: "Have you got a bottle for me, for old time's sake?"

[@prarieborn6458]

LOL Littlel guys came right back home!! They looked around for you and said hey! he ditched us, lets go find our bottles! They are so darn cute.❤

[@Regina-ov7yi]

Had to laugh when Smokey was closing in on your left flank as you tried to sneak away! Like a toddler at daycare when Mommy is trying to get to work. Its precious either one.

[@Wolfpug]

It is so sweet how Buddy just came right up to the babies & introduced himself to them. Once the babies stay over there, I am sure "Uncle Buddy" will be a great babysitter! Your daughter sure does love helping with the calves. Great Job today!

[@troyb6128]

Make the mount for the scale head tilt back towards the head gate and mount it at the entry gate. Can see it from anywhere working the chute

[@jimnaz5267]

your humane treatment of all the livestock is commendable. I enjoy all your vids. Thank you for sharing.

[@scottjones1368]

With that post you pulled over if it doesn’t stay plumb, try pulling it over past plumb, so when it settles back a touch it will settle back to plumb. Love your videos mate watching from Australia, never miss a video

[@billb4631]

Speaking as an old military veteran, you n Mrs. are truly an inspiration to the up n coming generation. I thank you two for your efforts. God bless!

[@nadinelataille7462]

Good idea, Dusty Baker, (CTB) lost a calf a couple years ago after the calf got stuck in a much smaller gap. Glad it’s fixed for you and a potential calf”s sake. ❤

[@paulamurzin867]

The calves are so precious.

[@sandib4234]

🥰

[@VanDeWitt-u4y]

You’re doing an amazing job!, It’s great seeing your family in the videos ❤ Keep up the great videos FTR and Family 😊

[@barbarabrand190]

I've raised a lot of bottle babies. It never surprises me how resilient they can be....or attached.

[@elizabethrogers1152]

Thanks!

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Thank you so much!

[@tina.clafferty]

I love how you can tell Buddy remembers!💜

[@toriwolf5978]

Oh so excited another video yay❤ love going around the ranch with you Tyler lol so much fun ……omg the calves are so cute ! Love the kids helping feed them so so sweet…..

[@juliehenry5353]

I loved how Buddy was the first to great the calves -

[@kzoll3546]

Not noticing that loose bolt on the headgate🎉 Now that's what I call Service 😊

[@Sandy-is7wc]

That post has a lot of character! I so enjoy watching you repair/reuse things. 🐮

[@SusanGarcia-r2g]

What an excellent day! Always great to see the whole crew. I live smack dab in the middle of a big city and I have not a single use for a come along winch but boy, I really want one! What an amazing tool.

[@janbuchmiller150]

Absolutely love your videos! You're so kind to all of your animals. Love seeing your family, the kiddos are adorable. The only thing I know about cattle, etc is the meat section at Jewel (Chicagoland grocery store) but can't get enough of your videos. Good luck I n all you do. Your bond with Buddy is the best. Callie and Bellie are great assistants.

[@stonermeister]

Your backseat crew puts a smile on our faces every time!!

[@leannkennedy6568]

They were looking pretty cute sitting back there.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Well all in all, a great day on the FTR! A couple of hiccups but the sun is shining and you have a plan! Great to see the entire FTR family on the job!! Can't believe how the kids are growing!!

[@beckygreathouse2660]

…And got a fence post plumbed straight. Oh happy day!

[@anneoreilly4900]

100% on the little jobs

[@Lynn-ux4zc]

Buddy is my favorite. Thanks for showing him.

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Buddy wanted to let them know everything was going to be ok. Tyler you still sound a bit under the weather. Hope you get fully well soon. Have a great evening.

[@lindakinsey1093]

Thanks FTR. Glad you are feeling better. Nice to see family.

[@karenr67]

Good fix. Maybe put a brace between post and building

[@marciaolson4878]

Morning FT! So happy you’re feeling better, working when you’re not feeling well it’s understood we all can’t remember some things, but I think you did just fine on last vid. So fun to see the bottle calves playing in the bigger pasture! God’s blessings!❤❤❤

[@snipe757]

Funny to see big ol' Buddy lumbering up to meet the newcomers. He sure does seem to remember his days as a bottle calf! It almost looked like he was hoping for a bit of a bottle. It's always fun to see what he's up to.

[@suzannesund4595]

My favorite line today: “Kitchen’s Closed” ❤ You’re a gem !! So glad I found your channel ❤

[@JDR51]

Buddy is like the mayor of the pasture

[@barbaralong3693]

I'm so happy that Buddy was the first to go check out the babies!

[@troyb6128]

At cattle prices right now those yearling weights are impressive

[@marilyncapehart663]

Cute Names., your sounding better hope you are feeling better 5-2-2024❤Nice to see the Family

[@reginaghee3768]

Love seeing Buddy. I'm amazed he is so huge. Always nice to see Cali and Belli. Thanks for straightening that post. It was making me crazy. lol

[@DianaStuckert]

Mr Tyler, your a good guy. Thanks for sharing your ranch with me 😊

[@ChrisTessmer]

"Smokey and Littles can use your ArrowQuip chute." That was so adorable, your kids are natural farmers.

[@debhart2996]

Glad you are feeling better.

[@DnA2100]

There are no little dumb jobs on the farm. As far as I can see you have a plan and a purpose for your actions. Some are funny but igneous! I genuinely love your videos. Please keep them coming!

[@sweetteil1081]

I sure do love your bottle babies. On your squeeze chute, you don’t want to add anything onto it, that requires drilling holes, because that will null a void your warranty. Having it connected to the alley way like you first showed I think would be perfect.

[@territn8871]

Watching sweet Buddy immediately come to the bottle calves nearly brought a tear to my eyes! Makes you wonder if he had flashbacks to when he was a little boy like they are and dependent on you as their "adopted mama"!🥰 I like to think that maybe Buddy will take them "under his wing" and be their protector as they acclimate into the herd!❤

[@carolyost6733]

Glad u r feeling more like yourself . Another video lunch date with Hubby. We always get excited when we can have lunch and watch your video.

[@donnaml8776]

It was good to see Brie, Maci and Matt. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Good to see Cali and Bellie, too. I thought it was so cute that Buddy came right up to them. It’s funny I didn’t think of him thinking about the bottle. I was thinking that he knew what they felt like not having their mom. Maybe it was both. But it just goes to show how well you take care of all you animals that they remember your caring.

[@michellecook3302]

Smokey was like "dont leave meeeeee!" Soooo funny!

[@cajunnathan4586]

Talk about a Great Manufacturer (Arrow Quip) that one of their engineers were watching your channel and spotted something to help you They must have one of the Best Cattle Chutes made because I see many Ranchers have them.

[@kathleenkarsten5739]

It’s so sad when they don’t have a mother to attach to. It really gets my heart. They are so little and don’t know anything! Thank God they have each other. 🥰 You really do a tremendous job! Thank you for sharing. ✌️

[@GrantTravels23]

Older cows will babysit them. If you watch cattle on a daily basis, you'll see them take turns between coming to feed and other cows feeding their calves. Plus if their milk bag is sore (full) they will become a milk machine open to anyone 😅

[@maryruss9349]

It was sooo cute that Buddy come right up to Smokie n Littles , I glad your feeling better .

[@judishaffer9654]

Favorite no. 1 ranch to watch. Great job😊

[@deehalpern8988]

I had to laugh out loud at Smoky running after you. 😅

[@davidcooke8825]

Just a brilliant episode! Thank you

[@manleybrittain1296]

I can't believe those calves found their way back to you!

[@ezinatx]

Those folks suggesting genetic testing for parentage have a great idea! And the price per animal is pretty reasonable too. As for the bottle feeders, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or both stealing sips off of unsuspecting cows...

[@debhart2996]

I was thinking the same thing. Cool, if a cow would simply 'let' them!

[@DOMINIKPAULSEN]

Those babies are to smart,( Smokey told Littles he was starting to get hungry, so they decided to go find MOM ).😂Bless their ❤💜

[@denisahill1323]

Goodness! My first time watching your amazing videos, and suddenly, Im doing a marathon of them. Thank you.

[@jacquelineharper-simmons12]

I always close my eyes when he ear tags them😊

[@farmgirl4958]

It puts a smile on my face watching the bottle calves:)

[@unclerob617]

Hold the bolt and turn the nut. Hopefully one or a few of your cows will allow the bottle calves to nurse. It's not unusual to see momma cows nursing calves that aren't theirs, it happens. Sometimes cows will even let other mature cattle nurse (Shorthorn esp) and almost impossible to break the bad habits. I sure am jealous of your lifestyle there Tyler. Your awesome little family and critters and all the hard work. I'm sure you realize how lucky you are to live this way ... good job 👍👍

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Good that the bottle calves are with the rest of the herd now even though it might make feeding them a little more difficult. They certainly know where their meal is coming from! Another great day on the ranch.

[@aliciasmith3440]

Yes, I’ve had twins, and always help the cow.

[@jaclynalley809]

Another beautiful day on Farmer Tyler Ranch!

[@jamessparks2691]

Uncle Buddy. Doing a good job, being a good uncle

[@commununityconsultant6029]

Good job - a little effort with no extra costs fixes the problems ❤️🐮

[@kayefainges5167]

I Love Smokey. He so cute. We introduced a Charolais Bull to our herd and he’s turning out a lot of calves that colour and almost white. They are sooooo cute.

[@coltsjason]

Buddy is like a big kid

[@allysonh6410]

So glad to see you’re feeling better. I could def tell you weren’t feeling good at all❤ As others have said, it was Adorable when Buddy came over and welcomed them🥰 Loved seeing the family!! Take care y’all!! See you next time! Great job!!

[@GrantTravels23]

My dad would always turn them out hungry and come back in a couple hrs and see if they were "magically" full. Your cows will babysit feed them if they are motivated enough to go looking for milk. Any cow who has a sore bag will help 😂

[@denault3985]

Congratulations on the gate fix, looks like Buddy and the babies are living the happy life!

[@hattiecolley54]

Keep Pushing Tyler. No matter what u Rock. As the Foundation gets dryer, I am sure it would be o.k. Feel better, there is Always something to do. Great Work.

[@cathleenmcmahan8794]

Very sweet; 😊littles and smokey 😊

[@cohomesource]

Good morning! We always look forward to your content. Sorry to hear that you were feeling sick the other day but yeah we also noticed about the weights LOL. Anyway hope you are well and we are very inspired by you

[@sherrychapman1621]

Cute family!! Great job on the post and gate..😊

[@egrace3738]

Solid observation and analysis on ear tagging the bottle calves. I've got good evidence now if I ever needed it!

[@billkenosky3825]

Two things, I like your first idea about the scale head and two that was kool that buddy was the first one there.thanks and get well soon.

[@billreal76]

Another quality video, Tyler. Love seeing your family involved.

[@kathrynbraun2073]

I love that Arrowquip followed-up with you

[@freddking4389]

Great video again Tyler. Thanks for taking us along.

[@reaskelton4939]

Your cattle are doing well. Pretty awesome move on Budddys part. Good job FTR

[@sashcraft51]

Farmers and their trials. ❤❤

[@heathermcgrath7236]

Thank you for your time and the education!

[@patriciabeyer8029]

Good morning. Glad you're feeling better.

[@invictaone8514]

What a great video! I love watching you work lol. I have so much respect for farmers and ranchers you guys are the salt of the earth. It’s beautiful to behold. Makes my day. ♥️

[@virginianelson7349]

Good Thursday morning from CA. Love watching. 😊

[@jackieconnor6845]

Another wonderful episode 😉😉😉x

[@brendawilliams7836]

The calves are like big puppies following you around!

[@lynnoberdier5002]

Really do enjoy all of your videos. Look forward to seeing them.

[@UncleBoKnows]

Buddy is a beautiful Hereford. It's my dream to retire to a small Hereford ranch in a valley in NC or Virginia. IDC what anyone says about the market value of non-black cows. Quality Hereford bulls and cows should always be in demand for better genetics in any breeding operation, Imo.

[@jaclynalley809]

I agree! Herefords are great

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Fed 3 at once. Cow had triplets. Bought milk from a dairy farm for awhile. Calves are looking great

[@GrantTravels23]

The black ones head went up when u tagged 😅. They feel it either way its just these 2 are used to u. My dad would explain it as long term its helping them because he knows who's the mother in case there are problems down the line. The tags we used also controlled flies. He would also say if it wasn't for him putting that bull into the pasture, the Calf wouldn't exist anyway so he owes him a ear tag 😂

[@joeowens9742]

I think Buddy wanted a bottle. Maybe put a 2X4 brace between the gate post and the barn.

[@deborahpetschel5633]

Good morning!! They are so darn cute. Can't wait to see them meet the herd!

[@altawarren7334]

Will their mama recognize them? Let’s hope those babies get bigger quick!

[@freddylove9914]

Buddy is happy

[@darwinapala960]

Love watching your videos. Fond memories of growing up on a cattle ranch in Texas

[@VickiLyons-g4y]

Loved the video FTR! Well done.🙂🌻☮️

[@robynmorris7945]

Tyler, sure is tough being “Mom” out in the pasture 😆🤪😊

[@robertkelley1990]

Good job on the post and the calf’s are looking happy to be with the heard hope u feel better soon.

[@roxanner8]

I really enjoy learning stuff from you

[@kennyfrees2189]

Hey Tyler, how bout you run a 2x6 brace from the top of the post to the corner of your hay barn to hold it in place.

[@richardperry9095]

Another satisfying day on Ranch.

[@coltsjason]

You should start a paid community even if you don't add many perks I think we could support your ranch more just an idea

[@patriciagrande311]

Such a beautiful looking Lab. She is says it all for the breed. My Gilbert would be in love with her.

[@jlgordey]

Oh that brings back memories. Loved bottled feeding.
