Ranching Isn’t Always Fun.

[@joshhorvat8247]

Nice to see someone show the good and bad of calving/ranching. Impressed with how you and your dad just take everything in stride.

[@paullohrentz1170]

Phoebe for baby calf. Silas was in a great mood. Love to see little ones happy

[@ronnielambert1260]

Petunia. That would be a great name for her calf

[@blujen1642]

Petunia came to mind. Penelope n Petunia have a nice ring. Silas is growing fast! More Blessings Lord, lotsa more

[@lsucody3687]

The way everyone on this channel speaks and treats each other is so beautiful. What I would give to have been raised in a place like this, raise kids here modern society destroyed this.

[@inarainyplace]

Her name could be Miranda. 😊

[@cindybott5037]

Ranching can be rewarding and wearing on your soul and your body. Loosing calves is always tough .tugs at your heart strings. I’ll think you should name her Gretchen.

[@kathleenjohnson6800]

Wow!!! Silas is so adorable and growing so fast!! There is nothing more precious than a baby's giggle or babble!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@thereseburton1414]

Silas is so cute talking to mama and dada. Those calves depending on yall and you give them such care. God bless

[@robertdouglas4130]

So sad to loose a calve, hopefully the mom will take the orphan calf. I have to agree, love it when Damaris and Silas make an appearance 😊

[@Heisstrong]

Name her 'Dakota'. Your handsome little bull calf, Silas, is growing so fast. He will be jabbering away, before you know it! Blessings to the Sleep family!

[@pdrphil8159]

Your baby is a happy guy... They have their moments , but I remember my kids at that age . I loved it.

[@Darlak1023]

And Silas is growing up so fast! And such a cutie 😊

[@Marilyn12346]

Penelope’s baby “Punky” 🐄 Nice to see your lovely wife and precious son Silas, growing like a weed 🥰. Hopefully y’all get a break on the weather 😊

[@badgerpa9]

Penelope in Greek story was made beautiful by Athena, Penelope's Mother was Perioboea. (Not sure on the spelling) A young lady I knew growing up named Penelope went by Nel, her mother was Pearl, she had a sister Peony. My Mother often named calves after real families she knew. If you know a Penelope that had a daughter you could consider that name. I hope your weather warms and you all stay safe and healthy. Silas is adorable, he will grow up fast.

[@Pam_Doddridge]

Penelope’s daughter was Xanthe.

[@badgerpa9]

@@Pam_Doddridge Yes I was only remembering her son Telemachus (sp)

[@gail2616]

The most beautiful music God has gifted you, the sound of a baby! Warms anyone’s heart! ❤. I thought of the Odyssey when I heard Penelope for the first time, so how about Calypso, who was the nymph, or Athena?

[@barbrinderer7696]

Love seeing Silas starting to talk. Name Penelope's calf Penny. Sounds like a good name to me!

[@firecaptaintom]

Good on you for showing everything about the calf that didn't make it. 🤞on the adoption.

[@saratewksbury958]

Thank you for letting us tag along on some of your daily ranching adventures! I thoroughly enjoy it! I'm throwing the name "Juniper" out there for Penelope's calf's name!!

[@fredperry1020]

Good to see Silas growing so much. And talking

[@cristinamilligan3416]

tallula ---good name-- leaping water --from native american all that snow is like leaping water ...love the real life enjoy the videos thanks for sharing

[@yvonneadams5377]

Silas is so cute and growing like a weed. Love his chubby little cheeks. "Hope" for Penelope's baby.

[@donnapadgett6583]

Silas is adorable and has lots to say. God bless 🙏 😊

[@dibell3662]

That BEAUTIFUL baby greeting just made my day! Thank you for sharing your blessings with us. ❤️🙏😂

[@bobogilvie4472]

It looks like YOU TWO are sure enjoying that young man. Many more coming in the next few years.

[@carolmiland9665]

Love seeing your son trying to talk. So cute and a happy baby. Sorry you lost that calf but hopefully that momma will take to the new one. Good to see you all..take care

[@Carole2Kittens]

It was so fun to see Silas babling as if he had great stuff to tell his Mom and Dad. I really appreciate how conscientious you all are in the care of your cattle. Giving needed care to struggling newborns and reassuring their Moms.💖🐃

[@HM-0410]

I think Aria would be a good name. It’s off Game of Thrones. She is a strong young lady and the calf looks like she is gonna be a strong heifer. Great video.

[@deborahpetschel5633]

Sweet boy 💙 And I love that you pair calves and cows together and when they are successful pairings. Interesting to learn about skinning a calve to help with that transition . 🙂

[@whiteface5055]

I just read that if you can collect the embryonic fluid or soak it up with a towel, it is helpful to get some on the substitute calf. I also read embryonic fluid from any cow will do. I haven't tried it, but it makes sence.

[@claymonson1918]

Petunia seems fitting. I enjoy everything about your channel, I wish I would have found it sooner

[@mardellscott6335]

Nice to see your sweet family thank you for sharing your life with us. Blessings from Mississippi

[@nancytitus3117]

Oh my Silas us adorable

[@evelynescalona6077]

Super video! Silas is just the cutest . He is growing so fast. Mother Nature can quit sending the snow. We are ready for Spring. We are suppose to get another 5" today. It is snowing now. Hugs to Damaris .

[@denisedenomme361]

Silas is so cute. Love to see him ,growing up so fast.👍❤️🇨🇦

[@mousefarm]

My farm is also very concerned at times of cold. I will move them into the farm.

[@1959dixie]

Petunia. Love watching y’all

[@jraley0303]

Love watching your videos!! You’re so attentive to the baby calves! You have a beautiful family! Many blessings to all of you! ❤

[@lorimcmahon2573]

Penelope’s babies name is Nellie. Silas is adorable. Thanks for sharing.💜

[@dwightharber4873]

Carson it's by God's grace that phenelope baby is alive and healthy. Grace is a good name. As always I enjoy your videos

[@davidkimmel4216]

What a Wonderful Way to Start a New Day 😊😊😊😊

[@ellisritz7654]

Can't wait to see if she took to the calf, great video.

[@ElizabethCox-es2ic]

For your new calf, I am entering the name of Christina from the movie Penelope. That is the name of the actress who played the Penelope character. She is really a good looking calf. I grew up on a cattle ranch near Sheridan Wyoming and love to see you and your Dad, especially your Dad, during calving season. It reminds me of my life from 60 years ago. Calving hasn't changed that much in that time frame. Calves come the same way and moms still get protective. And the weather still gets crazy on an unknown schedule.

[@ecobouwen]

How wonderful how natural you farm!

[@Angelwolf495]

Penny sounds good 😊😊😊

[@kathysmith4261]

Penelopies baby Petunia. Silus is so adorable

[@jeannewhaley9922]

So many babies, thanks for sharing. Name her Daisy. :)

[@joannielsen8502]

Wow being very vocal and a happy little boy, he likely will say DaDa first. Lol

[@hiltonmclaurin]

Penelopita is my name suggestion. Love y'alls videos. My wife loves your new baby.

[@johnvickiegasco5403]

Good morning Sleep Ranch. I think she looks like a Daisy.

[@amytemplin4034]

Another great budeo. We love to watch you & your family. Calf namrs: Patsy or Willow.

[@ryanperdue-wc9gc]

Josie would be a good name! Great videos!

[@SunGlass1989]

Good Morning I love to watch your videos, and you are a Beautiful Family working hard it's rewarding for sure, name her Canvas.

[@eddy4112]

New calf.....Sleepy !!

[@destryburnett5842]

So blessed when you get to this time of the winter and you still have plenty hay. God is good

[@donnaparrish7638]

Oh my goodness baby Silas is changing again and growing way too fast! I love to hear him laugh, he's so precious! Good job you two. Since Penny is short for Penelope so you've got to name the calf Jenny. You have some great looking calves Carson. Hi Dimaris! Thanks for sharing!

[@brucerleech]

Thank you very much

[@dowellisham3437]

It is sad to see another calf lost. Your dad is right, there will be more before it is over. Winter is rough, but it will be over soon. The highlight of the show for my wife and me is seeing Damaris and Silas. Your videos are always great and very educational. However, they are really special when you include family. When I was little, my mom called me "Sugarfoot". I think that would be a great name for Penelope's calf. Ya'll take care.

[@blossomquisno9187]

Have to hook calf up until her milk starts to pass thru then she will take it, takes 2-3 days

[@letzhititoutdoors8303]

Another great video! Melodie or melody the calf.

[@jimdewitt5798]

Thankyou. For the video

[@Emgen]

Congrats - off to a great start.

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

The full circle of life on Sleep ranch. Thanks for sharing.

[@plowboy6636]

Penelope and Precious, now that’s nice. What a winter for you and family. We had no winter go figure. Get payback next season. Have a good day

[@leannyK]

Awww! Silas is getting so big and jibbering😊 Name the calf contest. Pippy. 😬 Must be frustrating to lose a calf that would of been healthy. I lost my 30 year old mare 2 days ago. 🥺 We were together for 23 years. I am now without a horse. First time in 51 years. It's been a good run. 😌

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank you for sharing both the good and bad about calving. Great job 😊😊😊

[@rickhoward5135]

Sure enjoy your Videos my wife came up with the name Sweet pea Have a good one

[@taggunter975]

Awesome job y'all

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Adorable couple.

[@rhondag8128]

Posey is a beautiful name for a beautiful calf. Silas is so handsome, he will be talking soon.

[@ThePlantagn]

Great video

[@Darlak1023]

I think 'Cutie Pie' would be an awesome name for Penelope's calf 😊

[@donnaparrish7638]

Oh my goodness baby Silas is changing again and growing way too fast! Since Penny is short for Penelope so you've got to name the calf Jenny. You have some great looking calves Carson. Hi Dimaris! Thanks for sharing!

[@destryburnett5842]

You as parents are only hearing what you want to. It didn't sound like Mom or Dad 😂. He is really growing. Good to see him feeling better.

[@mehanic]

Great video, great work

[@rspranchinmontana]

That scream SIlas gave you is often how I great the day when its another whiteout blizzard awaiting my first look at morning. Hahahaha! Hes just so cute! I think Penelope's calf should be named Blossom because its soon to be Spring and here's hoping the snows stop and the flower blossoms begin!! We've still just got never ending snow up here. Most of us old timers are saying that this is by far the deepest snows we have ever had up here. Hope all the calving keeps moving along well for you and tell Damaris that I DO need a new hat.... ha ha ha!

[@whoaracehorse670]

Call her Snowy 😃

[@donnasuehoward4020]

How about Penny for Penelope's calf? The cold y'all endure WOW! And I thought Florida weather was crazy.

[@jamizimmerman8501]

Precious should be her name. So cute!

[@Juniordryglo]

Adorable baby boy!

[@kurtcuffle5275]

I like the name Naomi for the calf!!

[@janicecoxharrell8570]

Your baby is so precious!! Makes you want to just squeeze him. You know he is going to say Dada first!!

[@dalewadsworth5703]

First the new calf’s name Carson….Penny Sorry about the loss of the other one but that kind of stuff happens. But still a bummer. Nope winter is not over yet but hopefully the snow will help with moisture for spring and summer grass. How many head of cattle total do ya’l have . I may have missed the number from earlier trying to figure how many calves you are expecting to get . Silas is as cute as a speckled pup and growing like a weed. Be blessed

[@randy6650]

The baby is precious

[@williampickett3938]

You all doing a great 👍 job

[@kathywifall6844]

Silas---happy buddy! GOD BLESS, I am so sick of this Minnesota weather also. Spring will come, but how much more snow do we have to deal with? Over 6 inches in my area in less than a week. Nickle for Penelope's baby. The calves are adorable, who doesn't like BABIES! I love how you are able to help another calf, even how sad it is to lose one, but skin out the new born you lost, and allow a different calf to become a "adopted" baby. Good for Mama and the adoptee. Truly GOD BLESS all your caretaking.

[@vickimiller537]

Man it is cold there don't envy you in snow country lived in it most of my life feed cows and horses hard keep in hay and mixed feed.. bottle calf are hard feed in the winter half to get up early heat the water for milk . Bottle were half cold by time you got to. barn. Last bottle at ten at night

[@shirleymoore4885]

New Subscriber from Pennsylvania supposed to be getting snow here today ready for spring & I'm sure you are too! Love Silas smile he's going to be a big boy and as for Penelopes calf call her Panda and Damaris such a great mom & I did try your Dutch pancake with apple filling so good👍

[@deltonwatts9726]

My wife suggested the name Oreo for the calf! Sounds like a winner to me. Thanks for sharing the cold calving season!

[@terryhobdy5727]

I enjoyed the video.its always sad to lose a calf but that's part of it.on the little heifer I would name it Katie.

[@Evando610]

Name the calf Penny. Love watching you guys.

[@benburns5995]

Great video clip of Silas, looks like he is happy and healthy. I have a little cousin by the name of Penelope Alpha so maybe Alpha would be a good name of the Heifer Calf. The 2 names sounds good together. Hope the rest of the calving season goes well.

[@WestCoastPrepperRN]

I think the new calf should be called "Petunia"...in anticipation that Spring will come soon and Old Man Winter will release his grip!!!!🌺 It's been snowing pretty much daily here in the foothills of the Cascades in Western Oregon, but it doesn't stick around long as the temps get up to the 40's during the day. I love watching your channel! I raise Black Angus/British White cross and Black Angus/Shorthorn cross. I'm a VERY small grass fed/finish cow/calf farm.🐄🐂 Blessings!!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@ralphbennett4286]

I like the name Winter for that little calf.

[@wallyyuriy8912]

Skinning the dead one works everytime here as well

[@TJF8]

The new calf could be named "Princess"

[@rachelpotter6545]

I love your channel and for Penelope's calf you should name her Phoebe

[@brendapurpura1129]

Poppy. He's adorable

[@vinceriedl5606]

You can name the calf “Mable”. One of my favorite Holsteins we had years ago was named Mable.

[@marigene8265]

Penelope's calf looks like a Jazzie for sure!

[@coleensmith3544]

Sweet Heart for the calf
