Moving Cows Into Comb / Explanation Of What These Cows Eat During The Winter.

This week was a busy one. We worked all week on moving cows across the permit to the lowest possible pasture. We rode lots of miles and also we explain what the cows eat down in this desolate desert!

[@stevenrafters7817]

Great country you guys are working

[@heidijorgensenbegeot7]

Love the ML bit - my favorite snaffle!

[@gail8494]

The view from your office chair (saddle) is breathtaking. Thank you for the wonderful video.

[@williamgeorge3154]

I always enjoy the videos always very cool watching you move cattle by horse back the country is so neat. Glad you kind of explained what grasses the cattle eat very interesting 👍

[@thomasosburn833]

You showed me something new, salting a bit. I use a D ring snaffle bit that is made of sweet iron with copper inlays. I find that this combination keeps the horse's mouth moist, and the taste is favorable to the horses. Great video again, thanks.

[@alejandrosanchez6683]

Mexican mouth piece, the best to keep horses salivating. In the state of Jalisco I’ve seen horsemen putting salt 🧂 on new bits for new horses. Then it’s music them horses salivating and playing with the cricket of the mouthpiece.

[@thecamocowboyoutdoors5693]

That sure is some big looking country. It always looked to me like there really wasn't much to eat but your cattle seem to be finding enough. They always look to be in good shape. Really enjoyed the show my Friend. Thanks for another great video. See you next week!

[@duncancd5375]

Always enjoy your videos. Great way to pass time when you’re retired. Thank you for sharing

[@openrangedrifter1953]

I found your use of the missing link snaffle interesting as I use the missing link snaffle developed and sold by Pat Puckett. It incorporates an audible cricket like the old siester half breeds.Different design in the two missing link snaffles same purpose.

[@1880cowboys]

Hi, Thanks for watching. We have been using these bits for the past couple of years and we love them. Also a Pat Puckett fan.

[@handyandy8269]

Great video.....We have cattle in Wisconsin ....and right now ...before any snow.... they are on corn stalk residue...& lick tubs much like your tubs... thank you for discribing what your cows eat on the desert...very interesting for us Northlanders..

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you for watching. We have been back there a few time and were blown away by how green and beautiful it was. Different country for sure.

[@ronaldblair7321]

Very informative video love the way you explain things for us seeing what a cows diet consists of was very interesting it just blows my mind how you can make it through a winter without having to feed them hay

[@gerardjohnson2106]

You have some good looking cattle, fat and slick. Difference in yours and our Kentucky cattle is ours have green tails because we use cows per acre.🤠 Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👏🇺🇲

[@ShelbyHume]

Watching from Kentucky as well and was thinking the same thing! 2 acres might be too much per cow. Super interesting to see the differences

[@johnjacobs4207]

I ALWAYS put my hackamore on first then the snaffle bit on over it that way I can use the principle of bend with the hackamore then only have to touch his mouth when I need some extra help like when I am starting a stallion. The traditional vaquero method is to use the principle of bend off the nose then after a few years carry the spade with the hackamore for a few more years. I am amazed at how the spade automatically gives you vertical flexion. Remember Clinton says lateral flexion is the key to vertical flexion. So don't worry about neck reining ever. When you get into the spade use your legs for direction. Use the principle of bend to teach backing while in the hackamore.

Hi! Your channel was suggested by you tube. I enjoy farm animals and learning about them. I’m not a farmer nor a rancher. Just simply someone who likes animals. I’ll be subbing to you and check you out for awhile. Thank you for the video.

[@petermorse9928]

best one yet

[@1880cowboys]

Thank you

[@ShelbyHume]

Thank you for another great week! (Any hooded sweatshirts available? I also tried to check the website for hats but looks like it might be down? I know you all are busy so no worries if you don’t have time to answer)

[@1880cowboys]

We are working on getting the KZbin store set up as we speak! The website is no longer so that’s probably why there was no answer. We will let everyone know when the store is up and ready. Thanks

[@ShelbyHume]

@@1880cowboys wow! Thank you for taking the time to respond! Looking forward to sporting some gear while riding in Kentucky :-)

[@shawngordon1563]

i was wondering what you do with cows that parish do you just take notation on the ear number and leave them or do you have to remove them

[@tomfey5296]

I’ve been amazed at the condition of your cows in that sparse country.

[@chrisoconnor5880]

Have you got a bit of Murray Grey in some of those cows

[@1880cowboys]

Hey, thanks for watching. Not that I know of mostly Angus and Herford cross cattle. But they are cross bred, so not sure what is in some of their Blood lines

[@chrisoconnor5880]

@@1880cowboys at the beginning of the video, moving the cows to the comb, it looks like a dull grey cow, looks very like a Murray grey, which is an Australian breed, I’m a New Zealander but living in Australia, spent 7 years on a 1000 sq Mike property in Queensland, which ran Brahman cattle

[@1880cowboys]

I can not even imagine the size of that operation. Must have been amazing. @@chrisoconnor5880

[@Lucontheman]

Are there prairie dogs in that country? Thought there might since there are Badgers there.

[@1880cowboys]

Not down where we saw this Badger, but there are these ground mice and that is what they are after. We ride across areas that look like a bomb went off where a Badger has dug a hundred holes!!!

[@tomburbridge1114]

Salting a bit !! Why are the good ideas that work always so simple that you wonder why you hadn't thought of it.

[@dalewadsworth5703]

Enjoyed the ride along with you and the crew . You referred to the area you are moving them to as The Comb …. ? I know of the Cockscomb is this what you mean

[@sjeffreyw]

You must run the herd south end of the Ute mountain on east side. I used to live in Cortez, have a friend that works a herd up north of Blanding.

[@EdwardEdmonds-u4c]

How many cows do you have?

[@Lucontheman]

Thank you for taking time to answer my questions about the forage. Had a friend that had cattle in Arizona desert, said they kept a few old cattle to teach new cattle what to eat. Thank you again. Look forward Sunday videos

[@1880cowboys]

Hey thank you for watching, and that is exactly what we do. We let those old cows train up the young ones. Have a great week

[@rhondab9792]

Love your channel ❤️ Very informative on horses, cattle and high semi-arid desert country. Look forward to every episode.

[@blackdiamond7708]

❤🎉😮 Wow another outstanding movie 🎥!! I can't believe how fat, shiny, and healthy your cows look!! 🐂❤️🐎 EXACTLY as you said it, I was thinking to myself, they sure are noticably quiet when there's no calves involved. 😂 🤣😅 It was so interesting to learn how and what they live on as they cover the vast territory... (China, keep out dang it!😡) Thanks for your videos. 🐂🐎❤️💖🎄🙏🧑‍🎄⭐😍🤗🙂

[@1880cowboys]

thank you for watching, and yes they are quiet. I think that is why I love the winter country so much, because it is incredibly peaceful! Take care and have a good week
