Rounding Up a Lone Bull in the Mountains

Hey everyone, My name is Carson Sleep and I am a 6th generation rancher on the Sleep Ranch.
Our ranch is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota where my family settled and started ranching in 1883. I started this channel to show how a working ranch operates and to document our everyday activities. My goal is to have fun and to bridge part of the ever growing gap between American Beef producers and consumers.
Join me as I learn more about raising cattle, caring for the land and working/operating equipment!

Give him a thumbs up people, he is a nice young man sharing his story about another crazy bull and you know you enjoyed the video. Give him a thumbs up and a comment if for no other reason than to feed the algorithm.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks for this, I really appreciate it!

"It sounds good, theoretically, but will probably be worse than that", has just become my new mantra. Priceless.

[@jacksak]

This is one of the most interesting videos I've seen on KZbin in my 8 years of watching videos here.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you Jack!

[@norbertlackenbauer294]

Thank you for showing us what you do, how you do it and why you do it.

[@bobjoncas2814]

GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE AND WARM...

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Bob, you too!

[@Tiger-Heart]

You boys need a pretty little cow to lure that bull! LOL Loved seeing the countryside in snow, and thank God for a good horse.

[@FiremedicGross]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@sleepranch]

Thanks!

[@kwil6648]

Just found your channel, I'm surprised you only have 5K in subs. The channel looks like a gem.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you very much!

Good video. Hope you get him next time.

Thanks Diane!

Wow what an adventure!

What a chase! Thanks for the video...looking forward to the next!

Thanks Delton!

So nice to see a channel up North in the Midwest working cows with horses. ♥️ I feel like everything is out West or down South. Love to see it! Thank you.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Mariah!

[@suzyQ1999]

What a hard job you all have! But beautiful country and living this lifestyle seems enviable to this city old lady. Thanks for taking me along... so exciting!😊❤

[@atticuskilby515]

It may be time for a big mid-winter barbecue. This bull has a mind of his own. Thanks for sharing a long, hard, day.

[@sleepranch]

You may be right! Thanks Atticus!

[@michaelmcguire3983]

Like someone else mentioned two or three good stock dogs would make a world of difference. Also like someone else said “no injuries counts as a victory “. Stay safe ! Tell your father that his knowledge is valued so he needs to let us hear what he’s saying 😉. Experience counts!!! One small cattle mans opinion

[@sleepranch]

Sounds good Michael! Thank you!

[@terryhattaway9168]

I’m afraid the snow would be too deep for your dog idea. I’m thinking things were going great until the guy ran past the bull😖 maybe a couple more horses might have worked then. Hell I’m in South Texas with cow pens! That’s how we roll lol

[@dennisholst4322]

@@terryhattaway9168 at least you can find a level place to check oil

[@janetvanvoorst9680]

I was going to say when rounding up cattle or stubborn heifers/ bulls, stock dogs can save you a Ton of time!!

Thanks for feeding us, Carson. God bless you guys ...

[@chuckstermcdaddy4170]

As a flatland cowboy, I really appreciate what you guys go thru.

Wow, what a great video. Those horses you have are so well trained and beautiful. Sorry for you and your dad that you didn't get the bull after all that effort. At least you still had a smile on your face at the end of the video. Really enjoyed this video and will Subscribe for more.

Thanks Sarah!

[@elainesimpson2774]

A long hard day for all of you and I am sure the horses were so tired. You will get the bull. You all worked so hard to get him. Hope you have a restful evening. Beautiful country!

[@sleepranch]

Thank you Elaine!

[@oldscout2514]

You need to buy a bull from a man here in Tennessee, Willow Oak Ranch. He promises that his bulls have best disposition, calm, easy to handle. He has big website. Check him out. Been on TV, handle the bulls anywhere. Surprising how well mannered his bulls are. They still get job done.

[@reptile9272]

Meanwhile, I'm stuck in an office :'( Thanks for sharing this breath of real life. Cheers from France ;)

[@jacksak]

Exactly right... "real life".

[@sleepranch]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@philipcarr92]

Carson, that sure is beautiful country. Take up some cows to your friends place. Leave them & the trailer in a pen for a few days. Hopefully the bull will realise he's a herd animal & he'll get used to the trailer. Best of luck. Great video once again, many thanks!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Philip! I think we’re going to try something like that!

[@donniegray5735]

Love the cattle and horse videos

Thanks Donnie!

I just heard you speaking to Chad Doss from Adler Farms. Thank you for giving him the information about pine needles and his cow. You have a great and interesting channel and keep up the great work that you do. Congratulations on the recent birth of your son. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Seems like your dad should've had the camera. Catching a bull like that is challenging to say the least. You'll get him! The views at 15:20 was BEAUTIFUL!! My first video of yours to watch for me. Here goes part two.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Dwayne! Yeah he should have!

[@marypatten9655]

Love your videos. My mom was born and raised on a farm/ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota on the Belfush river. Not sure i spelled it right. She taught school for a while in Sturgis where she ment and married my dad. A Wyoming rancher way back before WWII. Anyway. Love your videos. Cattle are a bunch of work. That is for sure. My husband and me, still have one old mare on our small place out in the California sun. . Keep the videos coming. Yes suscribed and shared. God bless

[@sleepranch]

Those are awesome memories Mary, thanks for watching the video! Take care and God Bless!

[@lynnalohaaloha9439]

Enjoyed going on this adventure with you! That one would become hamburger for sure. Those horses got a workout that day. Looking at that snow and thankful our temps will get to the 70s for the first time this year.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Lynn, 70 degrees sounds very nice right now!

[@charleswolf279]

Beautiful country! Now I know why when my brother and l decided to slow down our farming that we chose to have no livestock, as the day never goes as planned. I am wore out watching you in the deep snow. Keep the videos coming.

I think you all should sale him for hamburger to the farmer. He can feed his family. The nose hair is looking good grow the rest of it . It's worth the heat for your face in the winter. From Stephen in North Carolina, God's speed.

I grew up on a ranch in North Texas many moons ago (I'll be 78 in January, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise). Some things are the same nowadays and some things are way different. Good looking operation you got there. Chad at Adler Farms sent me, by the way.

I am new here, I like watching the animals.

[@RiDankulous]

That's beautiful country! I could go to such an area in the summer. I am in Arizona though and will probably stay for money savings and using less gas doing my part for the environment. Arizona has some mountainous terrain and I went up high, probably 6000 feet, in winter so it was like there but I stayed inside. Any change of environment can be refreshing, no matter where one is living even such a beautiful place. :-)

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Joe, enjoy your time in Arizona!
