LX Ranch: Roundup and Sorting Spring Roundup 2005

[@chuckstermcdaddy4170]

I loved sorting cows, branding the calves, castrating the bull calves, worming, etc. Those are some nice, well trained geldings.

[@vineswillneverdie3229]

I love the sound of herds lowing and and ranchers shouting, ahhh so soothing! And yes I'm weird no need to tell me

[@shannonchase9948]

Damn thats a good bunch of mama cows! Blocky ass calves no doubt too..

[@DustyReinsStories]

Largely due to 125 years of land management and competent ranch hands.

[@종준이-r7g]

[@МехриШепетяк]

До чего. увлекательное и веселое занятие

[@mogauthier1000]

Really amazing to watch you all work together and individually with your horses. How do the babies find their momma’s when they are all grouped like that?

[@DustyReinsStories]

The mommas are much better at keeping track of their babies than the other way around. When a group is moving the babies get into the interior of the herd or group for protection from predators or getting lost. Those which wind up on the perimeter sometimes lose track of mom and run back to find her. That is why the outriders are always on the outside of the herd in order to create a visual barrier and bring back the runaways. The means of keeping track of each other consists of sight, smell, and vocal recognition. The West Texas wind can affect the last two considerably.

[@martycrowell5974]

better get diesel on those Cholla cactus's

[@DustyReinsStories]

Yes, those cacti can be a problem if left unmanaged along with numerous other invasive plants on the High Plains.

[@markmathews6876]

can't believe they haven't got any dogs

[@tomcooley3778]

No dogs when you’re sorting with cows and calves. You can have some dam big wrecks when the mommas go to chasing the dogs protecting their babies.

[@theresapetekiewicz1788]

I can't imagine spending all day out in the hot sun wearing long sleeves and having to deal with biting flies and other insects not to mention having to listen to the cows mooing non-stop all day everyday. And then having to deal with the smell of cow manure all day long. Between the dust, the dirt, the heat, the bugs and the smell it takes a very committed person to want to be a cowboy. Not to mention riding in a hard leather saddle for hours on end.

[@DustyReinsStories]

Long sleeves, chaps, wild-rags, high-top boots, and a wide brim hat were lifesavers from insects, rattlesnakes, cacti, mesquite thorns, dust, and sunburn. Time-proven gear for working long hours outdoors in all sorts of weather conditions.

[@kirkmcknight113]

@@DustyReinsStories Yes sir, people want to take off the protection and are far more miserable than those in long sleeves. Spent most of my career as an oilfield welder and long sleeves, long pants, knee pads if were are down in the dirt and stickers, high top steel toes for the same reason as y'all. Leather gloves with long cuffs depending on what your welding on. Only thing I miss is the wide brim hat. Welding caps don't give a lot of protection. I really enjoyed the entire thing from the drive to culling the bulls and seperating the calves. I know there is a lot more to do but y'all seem to have a real handle on that. Figured out easing the cows along and not pressing them, seemed to get them to move smoother. Thanks for sharing this video!!

[@DustyReinsStories]

Translate for us?

[@YOYO-ew8mp]

Aren't those calves too young to be taken away from their mothers?

[@DustyReinsStories]

The separation is only until after all the cattle have been treated for flys. Stocker calves will be gathered at a later time after weaning age. This video takes place before the calves have been branded and doctored.

[@eliasmaldonado5344]

[@magnusqwerty]

How boring, compared to Spanish cattle.

[@DustyReinsStories]

And a bit easier on life and limb for the cowpunchers who are supporting their families. But boring? Not for me.
