It very simple, "Why do we keep Buddy? Because we love him!" 🥰

[@bobbieg3220]

Tyler you are not only a great rancher but a compassionate one also. Good for you. I remember when you found Buddy and his/your journey. I love watching you and the whole gang. Best creator on KZbin hands down!!

[@normaled462]

I recently discovered FTR. I am hooked already and watch for new videos. He reminds me of my favorite KZbinr Cody on @WhittAcresHomestesd

[@nadeenflynn9673]

LOVE this episode! Therapy steer, cow companion, FTR mascot. Whatever his job is, we love him!

[@jeanhecker4533]

Every team needs a mascot and that’s the way I see Buddy. He was the lucky twin. 😊

[@bevakathedementedraccoon]

I've always had a soft spot for Buddy. He's just so friendly and looks like he was born that way lol. Thanks for putting his whole story together for us!

[@gthomsen180]

Don't forget Buddy's role as a companion to other animals in situations where they would otherwise be alone.

[@jonathonsprott]

Yes, very true.

[@daynaswan427]

You said that Buddy didn't have a purpose. I have been watching your channel as long as you have been here, and I have to disagree with you about this. Remember the time Buddy helped you with keeping the Bismarck Bull company when he was very young? Remember when Buddy helped with other young calves. Seems like Buddy has been your solution to more than one cow society issue over the years. He is your pet, he helps the farm, he is just wonderful in my eyes. And I am proud of you for remembering now, just how helpful he has been and will continue to be........😊

[@anitalandry3223]

Buddy is such a nice boy it's very easy to love him. Thanks for the walk down memory lane 🥰

[@cindymackay-musso8317]

What a lovely story. So nice to see compassion in farming. Not only with Buddy but with your entire hard.

[@DOMINIKPAULSEN]

I totally agree, you might need strong hands to be a farmer/rancher but also you have to be caring and compassionate, in Tyler's case, he's just a softy with a big heart! That's why I watch his channel.

[@ren-odell]

Therapy Steer... I LOVE that!!!! Thanx for the Buddy story

[@libbylauderdale1382]

It's hard to believe that I have been watching you for more than 5 years. Buddy is famous! He is loved by you guys and by all your subscribers.

[@darlenemackamul7008]

Sandi Brock is a Canadian KZbinr who has a flock of sheep she calls her golden girls. They are too old to reproduce and she’s attached to them also. Glad Buddy is enjoying a wonderful life with you and your family.

[@paulamurzin867]

I’m subscribed to Sandi Brock …Sheepishly Me, too. She’s a wonderful, caring farmer as well.

[@katherinekelly5380]

I watch Sandi too - the Golden Girls rule ! Farming is tough and I’m sure it’s nice to see a friendly face who is happy to see you - pets make the good days better, and the bad days easier to bear

[@cherylrosalis1948]

Yall leave Buddy (the therapy steer) alone! He is doing a fine job exactly where he is.❤❤❤

[@josephgail204]

Buddy is a sweet gentle giant.

[@dennishayes65]

Glad to hear you are going to keep Buddy to his end. Thanks Tyler.

[@allanpeters4403]

I remember when you found Buddy and I thought then that it was divine intervention that you found him in time figuring out what had happened. You are a very good rancher, but an even better person!! We all love Buddy!!!!

[@davidk7324]

Well done, Tyler. You perfectly designed this message to your subscribers. Thank you.

[@maureensmith4005]

Accept it Tyler you just love him as much as we all do 😅

[@cheriholladay4303]

He is the ambassador of the ranch!!!! I remember him becoming the bottle calf!!!!

[@johnnydale6515]

Buddy is our BUD

[@josephgottschalk641]

Nice to have an emotional support Hereford!

[@dianemotley]

How about Buddy on a T=shirt? It certainly would sell :)

[@annemerino788]

Already the proud owner of a Farmer Tyler t-shirt (Christmas gift from my son), I would definitely love to add an official Buddy t-shirt!

[@janiceaucoin1435]

It doesn't seem like Buddy should be five already. Handsome boy.❤

[@traceyhacking7109]

I LOVED this story on Buddy!!

[@snipe757]

Been watching this channel since before Buddy. He became a favorite, with his friendly, gentle demeanor. and it's amazing to realize he's been around for five years! IIRC he hit that growth spurt around the time the cattle mineral was switched to the good Redmond stuff. Prior to that, he was small and his coat was a dry orange color, but then he grew massive and his coat changed to the classic Hereford red. I'm so glad to hear he'll have a home for life, and the best possible home at that. He's a cool guy and it's always fun to see him in the videos.

[@christopherbrosz5003]

Gowing up we had a discarded twin steer named "Norman". Named him after the calf in "City Slickers". His mother had stepped on him and we nursed him back to health.

[@kevingordon7426]

Your wife and kids love him. That is the key. Thanks for the update. Buddy is good for all of us.

[@laurieweideman9607]

You’re an excellent story teller.

[@janbuchmiller150]

Buddy is doing a great job just being Buddy!!

[@HelpMeRhonda62]

I always noticed how well you treat the animals. If you didn’t treat them humanely I wouldn’t watch. I’ve been watching since you took Buddy into your home. I just can’t believe that’s been 5 years ago.

[@leepechin2764]

😢, have to admit I shed a tear, Buddy is just "special " glad he's there! God bless you all!

[@reginaghee3768]

This was fantastic. Thank you for taking time out to make this and giving us an in-depth look at one of the reasons we're FTR fans and specifically Buddy fans. I've been here since before you found Buddy and am delighted to have been taken down memory lane, not that I needed to be shown. Buddy is one thing I look for in all of your videos. This was an awesome way for me to start my day online. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but your personality and spirit is perfect for being a content creator. I look forward to every post you make and truly cannot imagine not having you as a part of my regular online experience. A special shout out and thank you to Bree and Macy for being part of the reason Buddy is a permanent part of FTR.

[@randycharest4507]

❤😊 yes it is a good idea

[@randycharest4507]

I always ended up with 2 bottle calves a year❤😊

[@randycharest4507]

I always ended up with 2 bottle caĺfs each year

[@denault3985]

Buddy reminds me of a dog by wagging his tail...He's so mellow!

[@mjinfl967]

Favorite video of all time! I can’t believe it’s been five years. I became a subscriber because of buddy and I still love him to this day.❤

[@marciaolson4878]

We do love him and remember his beginning very well, he’s part of the farm for sure! So happy he’s yours for the rest of his life! I’m so happy you did, he’s a good boy!!!! Don’t listen to the naysayers, you have to have a heart to understand! He’s a keeper!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@suzannesund4595]

I can’t believe I’m crying. It’s so refreshing to see how you treat not only Buddy but your entire herd along with all your other animals . . . I’m so touched by your compassion. Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤

[@carlamullenberg1029]

It was great to see Buddy grow up from the little guy laying in the middle of the pasture to your Therapy Steer. Everyone does need a Buddy just as much as Buddy needed your family. Hereford cattle will always have a place in my heart as does Buddy.

[@JbirdL2233]

Yay, Buddy. Thank you, you are a great rancher. ❤

[@jerrycopley9325]

Every now and then :) Thank you for saving Buddy

[@shlomotenenberg]

Buddy is a real star in your story, he adds another flavour to the farm

[@g.satterfield9422]

Buddy is a part of the family and he is good for the soul

[@deniseellenburg649]

Big hearts for animals says good things about your family!!

[@annemerino788]

Farmer Tyler -- you continue to exemplify the very best in ranching life. Have loved Buddy since you first found him and have been so gratified that you and your family have made him a beloved pasture ornament. Thank you for putting together his story!

[@truddle1]

LOVE "upgraded from livestock to pet"!

[@theresateegarden9147]

I remember when buddy got his first bottle! He has became a beautiful boy!

[@Redmapleleaf113]

Your Buddy "story" is why we love you, Tyler!

[@terryl7874]

In this world we experience so much violence and sadness, it is nice to see a heart warming story. Give Buddy a head rub for all of us.

[@danbentsen]

Thanks for the Buddy story, now I know! Thanks for the watch

[@martibarrow8127]

Buddy is one lucky steer! Thanks for showing us that farmers have big hearts❣

[@loucampbell7442]

You've made my day. Buddy is definitely a special boy. He is so cute. ❤ I totally agree. He is definitely an emotional support animal.

[@sharonhooks9071]

I couldn’t love this more!❤

[@teresadasilva8773]

Love Buddy..I have watched him from birth..

[@mjinfl967]

Whenever you show the herd, I try to spot buddy. He’s a treasure.🎉

[@ntandazotapellosogoni6306]

My favourite episode before I watch it.

[@frannieb9486]

I have a Buddy at our farm, his name is Willie. His mom died at his birth so I raised him….like yours he will live his days here……love your channel.

[@leahallen2984]

We all need a Buddy! I would have a hard time saying good bye to him as he is a good looking boy.

[@coracobb3917]

Emotional Support animal 🎉 way to go Buddy!

[@Evelyn-cy6hw]

Buddy is a living memory and testament to your beloved friend Max. Until this video, I didn't realize that is how you rushed Buddy home. He might have perished otherwise.

[@macharim]

Never had a therapy steer but one of the farms I worked at had a therapy cow and it was great. This was a dairy farm and having one old pet cow made my job so much easier. She was too old to be the leader of the herd but cows will follow when one starts moving. She always knew where to go, came when I called and followed where I led. Moving pastures or getting them back to be milked was easy when all I had to do was call her and didn't have to push the herd.

[@glojk4315]

Love the video on Buddy. We have black angus and about 7 years ago , we had a calf born, his mother wouldn’t own him. After many bottle feedings, and a banding, he is now my gentle giant , steer, known as JR. He is about a foot taller than all the others, so he is easy to pick out at the trough. I wish I could include a picture. Keep up the good work.

[@gpeer]

Buddy is FTR mascot! 5 years …has it been that long! I recall Buddy was born during Covid! He is a survivor!

[@denise.kohler50]

So glad he is still there. Love Buddy❤️

[@patriciabeyer8029]

Buddy is sweet. And gentle!! ❤

[@fayebeckstead1622]

I was waiting patiently for you to say: "We just love Buddy"! That's what makes your channel so enjoyable it's so family oriented. God Bless!

[@markschumacher7408]

I love your back story on Buddy. Thanks for filling us in.

[@maxine7088]

I remember Buddy's story very well. He was so cute and still is. I've been watching this channel from the beginning, and I've never been disappointed in the content, nor have I ever once thought of you, FT, as any kind of farmer/rancher other than excellent at everything you do. That includes taking good care of all of your animals. I really don't see how anyone has the nerve to criticize you. You're the best!

[@bertusgrobler2146]

From Pretoria, South Africa. I thoroughly enjoyed your telling of Buddy's history. I hope he gives you many more years of joy. 😅

[@Olderthantime-ic]

Best story today. Every farmer needs a buddy!

[@chrisbernard6811]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I think a therapy steer is perfect. You never know how he may bring calm to some of the other cattle too.

[@brendaspooner9518]

ranchers and farmer all have many Buddies through out the years.

[@marissashelley2362]

Buddy's purpose is to bring a smile to many faces & peace & happiness to the FTR!!! 😊❤❤😊

[@toriwolf5978]

We love you Tyler and always look forward to another video ❤please don’t listen to the negative comments they are probably sitting on their couch not doing anything productive in their life lol just do what you do best being farmer Tyler ranch following you around doing your everyday chores we love it please keep those videos coming ❤❤❤❤

[@billkenosky3825]

[@robynmorris2408]

I love it!!!! Buddy the THERAPY steer. Such a great name for today days “age”.

[@RumMonkeyable]

We love Buddy. So, so glad you kept and have Buddy. Therapy steer? Naw, just sweet Buddy! ❤😍🥰

[@CrazyKatRancher]

We were Blessed, our Big Momma was very protective of her twins. (Our 1st calves) Angel and Hope. 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️They are pets also. One day Maybe they’ll be purposeful and provide for us. For now, we love on them and they provide love. Love. Buddy. ❤🎉🐄 We are in Los Banos, not too far from you Tyler 👍

[@scottbalak7123]

I have a fainting goat that's only job is to be cute and keep the bull company during his off time.

[@HawkStorm87]

Buddy is a companion steer, and family farm pet. As a kid we had a “buddy”. He has grown so much, this video was his off to college. ❤ it, Blessed week and see you next time.

[@suzanne529]

We all love Buddy!

[@timsutherland5089]

I remember well you rearing Buddy. You are a great person and cattleman

[@melodeecurtis2999]

I’m pretty sure every farmer has a “Buddy” especially if they have kids 😊 I Love the compassion you have for all your cattle. They bring your family financial stability entertainment and joy and with that I feel you have to have compassion and you are definitely proof of that! Yep Buddy is your ESA 😂😂😂

[@debbietanner7395]

Awe he is so calm he is king of the herd

[@billb3487]

Thanks for sharing your big pet with us. I know Buddy will have a wonderful home forever

[@maureembjork6511]

Bastille my heart. That is why I have 8 pet cows. He is a sweety n worth keeping.

[@reaskelton4939]

We ran cattle but for a short while in the middle, ran some sheep and I get real attached to a bum lamb, which in the end got tore up by a pack of dogs. Broke my heart. Glad Buddys story has a better ending. And for sure; it does show the humanity.

[@alexanderc3467]

these animals sacrifice everything for us, their entire lives they serve us. with that being said they deserve the best treatment man can offer, this is how we honor them and their sacrifice.

[@ImpHalla66]

Makes for good talking at the PUB - "I've got a 1600 pound pet - beat that"

[@robertkelley1990]

People spend thousands of dollars on there pets but Buddy just gets his share of feed and that’s not much plus yall love him well worth the feed have a good weekend.

[@azsinger49]

Buddy is one beautiful animal. His eyes say it all. Thanks for keeping him.

[@cathymartine803]

Buddy!!! I am so glad you kept him!!!

[@24bidy]

Buddy was the lucky twin. We love him!.

[@annebell7274]

Buddy is priceless. He's a pet. He's such a good boy. He's just a huge lump of love ❤❤❤❤❤ Therapy steer 👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯❤️

[@jg2480]

Buddy's job on the farm is to be the mascot

[@Darla-kf1jp]

Buddy does have a job. You have put him with young bulls for a companion 😂

[@streetrodder2846]

Heartwarming story.... 👍

[@davidbaillie2087]

Love this. A lot of cattle operations have a Buddy and he does provide something important too. With his calm demeanor and size he helps calm the herd down just by how he reacts to you. He always comes up right away and the other cows/calves see him not moving away and as herd animals they also don't react negatively.

[@dma9646]

Buddy is a perfect emotional support pet. You like him!

[@kathrynphillips9344]

Buddy is like a therapy animal. Lol.
