Life in the Pens Sorting Savage Cattle!

Carrying over from the last video, we get finally get the calves to the sorting pens. Now it's a big cluster of sorting Braford steers, heifers, black baldies, and the ones that will be leaving. Having to make about 4 different splits made for a lot of sorting and restless cattle. I tried doing my best putting it all together, it got a little wild at times!

Not wild but spirited!!

Cut 'em out, ride 'em in Ride 'em in, cut 'em out Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide Thanks for the video Colton! Truly fascinating to see the work you do - so different from my day-to-day. Yep, this is an excellent video - right up there with any PBS documentary :-) You have a real talent for shooting, editing and over all composition (inter-titles, fade-ins and outs, music, etc.)

[@TheFarmGuy]

Ah thank you! This was a really tough one with all the different shots and angles as well as trying to make high frame rate GoPro footage look as good as I can. Cloudy, rainy, and the sun coming out made for so many different color imbalances but hey, I tried! Thanks again.

One of the reasons I like working cattle is, they are surprisingly agile. So much so that I can be kinda nerve racking.

This was an awesome video could’ve use more Buster in it but thanks for the action. Keep them coming when you get the time I know what you do isn’t easy.

Beautiful cattle. I grew up with all black angus and raise all red angus now (so pretty uninteresting on the color spectrum). IDK if I would trade though, mine are pretty mild mannered lol. Very nice video!

Life in the pen

[@oilhammer04]

My siblings and I had some brahman calves when we were young. My steer would sail over the fence every time we were ready to send him to the sale, so he was three years old by the time we were able to send him off to the sale barn. I don't care for cattle that have wildness in their genes.

[@yomadass408]

I got a f1 heifer too and she asks just like yours😂 she was on a bottle

A herd of cattle can be made tame or wild depending on how you handle them

[@coyroberts8356]

[@coyroberts8356]

There are some old boys down here in Florida. Have some corral wrecking bulls I’m sure they will ship your dad two or three of them. Fine wicked crazy Bremmer both! Will boost your herd!! Lol. 😉

[@gypsybaxty4327]

So the strips are what you would call brindle marking?

[@evansandlin6325]

Just curious do you cross with Brahman to get the larger frame, does their hardiness do better in your area, or one of those family type traditions you like having on the farm? Or maybe a little of all 3?

[@TheFarmGuy]

They can handle the heat really well and yeah, the larger frame means they hardly ever have trouble calving. They make for some really good cows to raise a calf.

[@oscarmontes4066]

Do the Brahman cattle do better than the Angus cross? Sure look a whole lot bigger

I'm just wondering why you run Brahman crosses. Is it because they calve easier? I'm not knocking anything you are doing. I'm just curious.

Haven't you heard of a drafting race, one run through and the jobs done. It would take all year if you had to draught a couple of thousand head of properly wild cattle like they have to on Australian cattle stations. Why have all the feeders and troughs in the working yards, it's a good way to injure yourself or the cattle. Probably need a better set of yards.

[@TheFarmGuy]

Why do I never see videos of wild cattle in these drafting circles or whatever? It would take a long time no matter what you’re using when you have a 3-4 way split

[@scottmcintosh3304]

@@bulterify I knew you were in AUS. Everyone from there will say they do it better lol. The reason this looks like a mess is because we had so many splits. Making a two way cut goes fast and easy but you throw in some high headed crosses and it makes it a little tougher.
