Tiger Stripes Never Make it Easy

Time to wean the calves from the braford cows. It never goes too smooth but a lot of hey's and ya's in this one.

Try feeding them in the corral for a month before weaning day. Arkansas Po Producers do it like that.

[@arnulfoaguirrejr3060]

yep, I had to work mine alone a lot and I'd just bring em all in with cubes a few times a month, so they got used to going in working corrals.

[@barbarabrand190]

I have a small herd that I manage solo. At 67 it can present some challenges. I herd the cows and the bull with a $30 tapered. Not to shock them with, but the noxious noise is a game changer.

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

I think they follow a feed bucket or sack easier then they drive. Just one way to do it. They always know when a trap is set. Good to have "swinging" gates vs "draggin" gates at a pen.

[@dwightharber4873]

Tiger Stripes are excellent mothers but half ass crazy when you corral them.

[@loisblais3431]

What an impressive herd! Your calves are so healthy, chunky and ready to go! That’s a lot of ground work to get them all separated. Those are some gnarly cows for sure, wouldn’t be standing in front of them any time soon. Lol I like your corral set up, it’s good and sturdy. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care, be safe. 🇨🇦

[@thepitpatrol]

They don't make it easy but they are hustlers and survivors.

[@oletasepulvado7800]

I really enjoy your videos. They remind me of when my parents had cows and I had to help with them.

[@oletasepulvado7800]

I live in Sherman so how far am I from your farm

[@TheFarmGuy]

@@oletasepulvado7800 within an hour so pretty close! I hit up Sherman all the time.

[@oletasepulvado7800]

I saw where it said Collinsville and another said Gordonsville so I was just wondering. I go through Collinsville when I go to my daughter's

[@robertspringer4019]

I think a couple well trained dogs would be a great investment.

[@Debbywithy]

Where are your horses?? Isn’t that hard just chasing them on foot?

[@jacobguitreau6454]

I use dogs on mine

[@cicibradley2809]

Slappy time! Dang good looking herd.

[@mikew732]

Those tiger stripes will make an old man out of ya fast but what a nice calf they have raised. Good job working them crazy mommas...

[@martinmarsola6477]

A tough job corralling those cattle. But you always get it done! 👍🇺🇸

[@thetxfarmkid]

Good vid, you’ve got some mean cattle there.

[@ronniewalker2881]

good to see you man

[@charlottemoore8652]

I love your videos

[@sunsetfarm8517]

Nice video, keep them coming. I always enjoy them.

[@wheezie923]

Great video!

[@jimmycurran5355]

Enjoyed the video.

[@randybutler4772]

Nice looking calves. Sired by a good bull.

[@tymaze2539]

Long time buddy Ty Maze here I see you got some help with wild cattle, good deal. Name of the game is to be safe, I know that type of cattle very well, they are NO JOKE. Hey took time out, but be back to hauling cattle first of March. Well I'll keep watching videos take care there bud. Ty Maze TEXAS CATTLEMEN TRANSPORT

[@mellewedin8221]

It's like challenge and game to them,lol.

[@ZZZBULL]

Yeah Buddy got some Brahma Mama in them.Why my pen look the way they do.😂🤣😁

[@paulgregory6233]

Try and get a border collie dog and work with cattle as much as you can it’s worth two men good stock of calves

[@ashleygriewe6894]

Would never have then on my ranch

[@kellymulcahy450]

Good morning

[@Bjj827]

Handsome animals.

[@amyk1164]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnharrison2255]

Eaay does it

[@davidcopling1442]

Definitely enjoy the videos, don't care to sort to many stripes. But have to do it some times. Just wondering, how is the wire attached to the pipes on your corral. I assume you weren't able to weld it, but was curious. I need to make a fairly good size gathering trap and your set-up intrigues me. Thanks and God Bless

[@TheFarmGuy]

They are indeed welded on there. We added the heavy panel wire later on. It was just pipe and cable in spots with with some thinner gauge wiring. Can’t be having that with how rowdy they get lol.

[@davidcopling1442]

@@TheFarmGuy I appreciate the information sir, thanks.

[@wheezie923]

Buster ❣❣❣

[@jimpustejovsky3655]

The Tiger strips make great mamas buy I was one happy camper when the last one left our farm Lol. We run black angus now with Charlious bulls. Your calves look great.

[@Buff_Dave_Oprtr]

They just LOOK the type that'd make a good 🥩!

[@jasonvarney9686]

I have several pieces of advise to help you if you’re open to suggestion, and neither require a horse or dogs. Hit me up if interested, suggestions are free, and I can explain to you how we calmed 100 head in the field and made working them way easier.

[@joehall2092]

AND THATS HOW THIS SHIT GETS DONE ✔

[@curtisowens4588]

Buster did good this time. I enjoyed the video. Your broth Has to learn but he seems like a hard working man. Introduce him one day soon.

[@TheFarmGuy]

Thank you, I definitely will.

[@Sanurn_ishere]

Why or they so wild OMG

[@TheFarmGuy]

They don’t like being penned up!

[@ad1011000]

Lol buster send me your resume asap!! I could use a good ranch manager

[@JohnRobertson-zk1mb]

What type of bull do y'all have I know it's a Charolais for this is a Hutchinson bull

[@maxpalmer514]

Damn! Still ranching the hard way, I see. Ever watch Greg Judy's YT channel or anything on Joel Salatin?

[@johnjacobs4207]

Nice pens Did you weld them?

[@TheFarmGuy]

These pens were already here when we got the place. We did add better gates and panels on the existing ones though.

[@oletasepulvado7800]

Have you made any videos lately

[@TheFarmGuy]

I’ve been stuck in Mexico. Got a good one in the making though and should be ready a few days after I get back!

[@joseescobedo1361]

Y’all need a good horse or a couple of cur dogs to mess with them crazy F-1 mommas

[@2countrytv948]

If you ever need some help, let me know

[@Tower230]

It seems y’all have several different herds of varying breeds. Is there a reason you don’t focus on one breed or uniform calf crop?

[@TheFarmGuy]

We raise some as replacements and others for beef. No particular reason I guess.

[@mountainblockmoments]

Your on a hiding to nothing once they know they can get around you. Couple good kelpie dogs would save you from doing all that running. Nice batch of calves though. I would be culling a few of those “difficult” ones, would make your life a lot easier and losing those couple most of the others would probably settle a fair bit easier. Good on you for having a crack though, easy to knock others and you look to have a fair wing of cattle👍🏼👍🏼 so you probably been doing it a while.

[@helencline5768]

Need four wheeler…

[@kalebclark8210]

Y’all are spoiling those cows

[@joshuahernandez2867]

Nice Char calves. Do you ever have a problem with the cows jumping fences looking for their calves after you separate unweaned?

[@TheFarmGuy]

Thanks. No, never seem to have that issue.

[@Durango214]

All that cattle and acres and no horses!!!!!!!

[@Durango214]

They sure would be helpful

[@jimevenson6956]

These cattle always seem so wild and flighty. Is there a reason you keep these instead of Angus, or other breeds? Is it better beef? Just curious.

[@TheFarmGuy]

They are really good momma cows. Very tough. They are pretty docile in the pasture. It’s only when they get penned up so only happens a couple times of year which isn’t too big of a deal when you know what to expect!

[@c6farms952]

I understand the good mama’s and being tough but still not worth getting hurt over

[@briantbarker3854]

@@TheFarmGuy cant beat a brindle momma , a lil squirrely, but wont find a any cow that needs less constant attention. turn em out and they hold their own.

[@bigmoneytex1986]

horses make life easier hand 3,000 to 5,000 good ranch pony

[@jeffbrooks8288]

I understand the allure of the tiger stripes, but gentle cattle are so much more enjoyable to manage. I wouldn’t blame you for putting them in a freezer and moving to some other breed thats much easier to handle. Too many people get hurt by wild cows. It’s not worth it. You do have a beautiful herd. Just not one I’d want to mess with. At 62, I wouldn’t even consider cattle like that. Best wishes. I honor you as ranchers. I hope that none of you get trampled by those big tigers.

[@festuscox]

Good video. A little feed makes things work better. May I ask why u fool with the crazy cows? To many good ones to fool with that.

[@TheFarmGuy]

We really only have to deal with them a couple times a year so it’s not too bad and I’m used to them. Keeps things from getting boring I guess!

[@joehairston4159]

One look at the calves tells you why he has them. Here in South/central Texas, their known as the “Queens of the cow country “!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Need some good dogs

[@ranaedownard-wooden857]

U need some good horses & a good dog so much easier.

[@thomashostetter7052]

Forget the wing fence and get a dog and good horse.

[@tiffneydurbin4914]

First

[@tedsteele8548]

Why would anybody keep cattle like that

Do these spooks settle down in a feedlot?

Raised cattle 40years why would anybody keep cattle like that

[@bulterify]

Design your yards better. It’s pathetic

[@jamespenner8410]

Chill bro. It’s not just as easy as building brand new setups

[@bulterify]

@@jamespenner8410 I know that new yards that cost a lot. I didn’t say to buy new yards, you can alter the yards with currents yards.
