We used a hook like that bent out of a wire clothes hanger to catch chickens with! Someone was smart up sizing it!!!

Silas is so cute ❣️ my grandma always said that a baby was growing when they had the hiccups ! 🥰

[@rspranchinmontana]

Morning Sleep Ranch! 👋 Im just now catching up with your video because we have had severe winds, snow and no electricity so that meant no internet. But, even though its still snowing today, at least the powers back and I can catch up with you all. Lifting some extra prayers your way and to the Sonne Farms friends too. You guys all stay safe during the current blizzards heading your way. Lifting some extra prayers for you and all the cattle too.

[@kenparham5747]

Man all that hard work to roll that hay nice and neat and you destroy it in a few minutes. Hehehe, love to see those smiles from Silas!

[@MySORRELL]

THANKS!

[@pdrphil8159]

Handsome baby ...

[@Farmlife-Northland-qe8jw]

Always like the drone footage of cows getting fed. great video Carson

[@johnjohnson65]

I got the NDE horizontal feed wagon. They are built for stout. Good wagon.

[@patrickklinger8015]

That's a beautiful view you have there

[@badgerpa9]

Your little blue in his house was very cute watching you play with Silas who is also cute. The feed wagon would be nice if they figured out a way to keep the leaves and protein in the wagon other than hosing down the mixer as it is going. All of the dust is protein blowing away, somebody smarter than me will figure that out someday. That wagon sure made short work of the bale. Your pup sure seems to be watching everything going on around him. My mother had a Jack Russell that when it was his bed time he would go in his kennel pull the door shut and give little barks until someone covered his kennel with a blanket, in the morning he would go out and pull the blanket off. We have had many that liked their kennels at least partially covered more like a dugout to them I guess. Your calf run looks great for running the little guys in, hope it works well without many modifications. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.

[@taggunter975]

You got turn the baby gator lose so the cows can say hello to him nothing like having fun hahahaha

Hi.That blue healer going to be working overtime soon enough.

[@jeffmorrissette3205]

Hey Carson, How the heck are you doing? It's taken me all winter to catch up on videos. That NDE is a good machine and made short work of that bale, I was impressed. Yes I agree with you that winter needs to go away, it snowed again yesterday April 1 it's just getting old and things are getting behind for work. Your little puppy is a nice addition to the family. I'm glad you and the family are doing well. Take care and stay safe my friend.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks man! Hope you guys are doing well!

[@donnapadgett6583]

Silas is adorable 😍. Beautiful smile 😍. Cool new machinery. Ya'll be safe and God bless 😊

Always look forward to a video from sleep ranch

[@robinmcfadden3909]

I always like to see how you mix the feed so this new feeder looks like it will be a game changer. Really nice drone shots. Nice work on the calf chute. Cute ending. Silas is really growing. Angus and he will have lots of fun together. Thanks for the good video.

[@kimmontgomery54]

Awww cuteness overload in the end! And the new pup just wants to play with the funny looking ones in the field! 😂 Love and blessings from this old Bama girl!❤❤❤

[@terryhobdy5727]

I enjoyed the video.the mixer looks good.looks like the calf alley will work out good.and lil Silas smile is worth a million bucks 👍

[@donnaparrish7638]

That’s some great drone footage over the cows Carson. That chute you built will go a long way saving time and work. Far better than branding on the ground. Good job! The baby’s smile is precious. Thanks for your hard work and showing off the grinder and as always for taking us along.

[@deborahlewis5964]

I love the new bale buster/mixer wagon…… It’s great to see the upgrade….much needed!!!! Great video Carson….

[@lsucody3687]

How long will that giant pile of cow food last? What’s all in it? How does rain and snow affect it? Sorry for all the questions just very interesting to me

[@landrycoy5397]

It’s usually just ground up hay

[@sleepranch]

Great question! Yep it was just a pile of ground hay that we mix with corn and distillers grain, it should last us a month or 6 weeks!

[@ecpantel]

Silas is getting big! And he sure puts that big smile on when he sees Daddy. Great views of the cattle, and Angus sure wants to get out there and work those calves LOL. God Bless and stay safe in the storm.

Aww! Your son is adorable! How old is he now? He looks about the same age as my youngest granddaughter, she will be 6 months on the 6th of April. She gets the hiccups a lot too. I think they bother us more than her though. 😊

He’s four months! I bet you enjoy your granddaughter!

[@dwightharber4873]

Carson I know y'all keep replacement heifers, but the heifers you don't keep do you take them to the sale barn or put them in with the steers to grow out.?

[@sleepranch]

Great question Dwight! We’ve done both and it depends on the year with what we decide to do, how the cow market looks versus the market cattle prices!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you

[@yvonneadams5377]

That looks great, another toy for grown men.😜 Just be careful around that alfalfa dust, I have a cousin who developed COPD from breathing it. He ended up needing a lung transplant. Keep healthy and safe. Love the ranch and all the people there. Every time I see you pull string off the feed bags it reminds me of my kids always needing string for something so when ever I opened a bag that had string on it I would roll it up on a ball and save it. Just say'n you've got a little one and may just need some string.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you!

[@josephmelson7591]

That was a cool mixer I love how fast it chewed up that round bale .. that's a nice calf alley you made but you have horses why don't you rope them calves and drag them to the fire it sucks that more and More old traditions like that are dying today used to be everyone in there community got together and helped everyone Brand and vaccinate and castrate there calves in every State no need for calf chutes the USA as a whole the and ranching community in general was alot less divided then tho to I still see some ranches doing it today but not many..

Hey Seanzy! Yeah we do use that stuff and it’s great! I’ll work on some poetry for ya haha

[@marykaywohlert9228]

Again love your videos. I didn’t realize how big your feedlot is how long do you feed them out? Why are your salt blocks blue?

[@sleepranch]

Thank you! Is just an iodized cobalt salt lick which I believe the cobalt makes it blue, very good licks for cattle! We usually just feed to about 850 lbs!

What are the blue blocks at the mineral feeder

[@sleepranch]

They are salt licks!

[@coltenkilgore1617]

What kind of block salt is that never saw any that color

[@sleepranch]

It’s iodized cobalt salt licks, very good lick for cattle!

[@barbjarvi6543]

What’s the reason for chopping up the hay?

Easier to mix a mixed ration for the cattle with corn and distillers grain

[@matteager7415]

That's right, in Montana a purported verbal agreement can supersede the brand papers/title to the cattle. I was shocked by this. Even when you show proof someone else filled out and signed an illegal Bill of Sale. Even when you call the livestock investigator and tell them a con man has changed the naming on the cattle and beef at slaughter. Even after the con man lies to the livestock investigator on the whereabouts of some of the cattle. Be careful in Montana, if you agree to let someone feed your cattle to hopefully sell later, they can take the cattle kill/sell all of them. The brand department will say it's civil at best. No support. Even though their own department issued the brand papers listing you as the owner. That has always been solid title to the cattle. Not anymore. It's really interesting when Idaho state brand inspectors take away approximately 23hd from the same character for all kinds of questionable things. Montana still doesn't care. Montana has the smoking gun evidence, but they don't care. Its awful..First time in history the brand department stood behind someone other than the owner. I don't think they want anyone else to know that all the cattle slipped through their inspections at the small slaughter house. Be careful buying cattle in Montana. Heart breaking. It's the real yellowstone up there. Crazy story if you knew the whole thing.
