You did what any farmer would have done for your cow. I have watched enough of other farmers in this circumstance to know you did well. Life isn't perfect and you are correct, you saved your cow. You are a good farmer.

[@frankbeavers7226]

Thank you for your honesty and realism. Life on a cattle ranch, as you portray, is an ever changing challenge! Love your channel and I watch every episode. Please keep up the great work!

[@bubbasmooth2060]

Sorry for your loss of the calf. Will you keep 33 or send her to market. Not a farmer, just wondering if this is a one off thing or is 33 deficient for future calving.

[@timlaubscher1495]

Job well done.

[@stephaniewilson3955]

KZbin will demonitise this video just because it is not pretty. Thank you for having the courage to show the bad times as well as the good. You were right to handle the problem yourself. The longer that dead calf stayed in the cow the worst for her.

The reason I like Tyler's vlog, is that you get to see all the things involved in running a ranch. The good & the nots so nice. Just the way real farm life is. Most of the people who didn't stay to watch this video, are the ones who can't face life's problems. I realize there were those who just couldn't watch, and I understand that, but for those that will complain or nit pick, go watch a cooking show, we'll all be better off! Thanks again, Tyler, for showing ranching as it really is.

Tyler you did a nice job helping the mother cow to get rid of the dead baby cow inside of her. You are a hero, not just for the mother cow but for all of us. You are a farmer, you are the backbone of our society. You provide us the milk from your cow, the meat we eat, and many more. We should be very thankful for all you do. Thank you again, Tyler.

[@donkndave7811]

One thing for sure.... if you have livestock then you will eventually have deadstock. This is life on the farm. Thanks for showing us the reality of raising cattle.

[@DP-fg3dv]

"If you have livestock, get ready for deadstock." That's my line! 😂 It's what I told my boys when the wanted to have their own cows

[@melissaw6446]

I'm new to your videos, but I grew up with cattle ranchers in my family. What impressed me is your obvious sympathy and care for your animals. You lost a calf, but you saved a cow. That's a win. One thing I've learned about you tube and arm chair critics...it doesn't matter what you do, someone is going to try a critique it. Keep up the obvious good work!

[@kimcwhite6509]

Thank you Tyler for showing everything. I'm not a rancher, but I lived on a ranch years ago & found cows having trouble & helping the rancher pull the calf. It has to be done. My area has a veterinarian shortage too with no ranch calls. It takes 6 months & $500. + to get a female cat spay. My granddaughters have horses & I'm thankful none have colicked needing a ranch call. Unfortunately they would die waiting unless we took action, got them walking & had some RX meds. This comment is for the naysayers. Non ranchers have a hard time understanding that to do nothing or wait hours is worse. Sorry for your loss💙

[@caroledney3919]

Good job, FTR! I find it amazing how you stay calm and talk through with explanations & expectations, all the while talking quietly to the mama. Your patience & abilities are first class! Thank you for sharing with those of us who are clueless with ranching and the hard decisions, especially when “working in the dark”! Great vlog! 😻

[@MrTommyboy68]

Tyler, PLEASE stop beating yourself up. Ignore the arm chair quarter backs. They know NOTHING about being a farmer and all of the things you do is from a combination of "on the job experience" and schooling. You do a remarkable job every day and as you said, not everything is a success. Keep up the great work and keeping us up to date on your farming.

@@robbiecail77 This was started from years ago when I was a kid for people who think they know everything.

[@Flower3394]

I watched "Cross Timbers Bison". This happened to one of his female buffalo. Where she had a leg sticken out. But couldnt deliver the calf. By the time he noticed a leg sticking out. He called the vet. The vet informed him. He needed to get the calf out asap. Or the momma would die. He got the momma buffalo in the chute. He reached to grab the leg to pull. But the calf was in advanced decomp. The smell was awful. Hed walked away gagging and throwing up. It fell apart on him. He got the leg out and some other parts. He ended up giving the momma large dose of antibiotics and meds to trigger her to expel the calf out. She cant be bred again because of all that. I think what you did Tyler was the right decision.

[@MacFinn-wp2vn]

I watched the same video. Ranching ain't pretty, sometimes.

[@abc-coleaks-info3180]

A friend of mine went through a similar situation but the vet did that pull, 3-days after he called! In that time he had two other pulls he did himself both successful with one alive and one not. He has downsized his herd now for a few years but at that time he had over a hundred head. That vet never came back and he had to find another. Even when you call a vet, you don’t know how good they are. He also ended up losing the heifer from the vet pull.

[@customlioness7372]

Yeah I seen that one also! I was really worried about that bison because he wasn't sure he got everything but she lived, definitely nail bitter for me!!

Lol. I have had that same discussion with mine. She kept saying how they weren't the best parents. I told her that my brother and I were trouble makers and we had our butts whipped many times. Many of those times we deserved it and sometimes we didn't. However, there were times that we got away with stuff that we should have been whipped for, so it all equaled out.

It's a very high adrenaline enducing experience during calving season when things start to go wrong and you are just trying to save a baby and or mom! Never 2nd guess yourself. You are amazing and have great instincts.

[@janevannote2947]

Kudo’s to you for doing what needed to be done, doing it and then posting the video. You were even thoughtful enough to let folks know in advance that it would be difficult to watch (as you’ve done previously with abscesses). Anyone who has followed you for any length of time sees how much you care. When you stop to talk to or pet the dogs, when you bottle feed a calf, and lest we forget Buddy! Even your initial remark when the ordeal was over demonstrated your care when you said how sorry you were to the poor momma. I don’t profess to know a whole lot about what you do, but having been hanging around for 80+ years has taught me a few things about people, and you are definitely one of the good ones! Bless you and yours. ❤️🙏

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Nice to see a Rancher that is willing to post things that don't always go right. While not a "failure" of yours for any reason the fact that you stuck with it and saved the Mom is honorable. Hopefully this was the "one off" and the remainder of your calving season goes smoothly. Sorry for the loss....even one is too many.

[@tomstitt3449]

If you have any negative comments then they don’t really understand what farmers have to do. It’s not all rosy driving tractors and having fun. Life doesn’t work that way. Good honest video, and here is one who actually appreciates you having the courage to show the downside to your life. 👏👍

Takes me back when I was 16 and no one was home I used a post hole pulley to pull a calf I was lucky the calf survived

[@territn8871]

Good job Tyler! Clearly that cow needed your help. Can't imagine someone having a negative comment about how this all transpired. When you raise livestock, these things sometimes happen. The calf was stillborn and you just saved a cow's life because she would have died if it weren't for your knowledge on how to get the dead calf out...and fast. Thanks for saving her life!👍

[@barryelizando4597]

That was heart breaking. I hope mama cow recovers. You really care about your animals and it shows.

[@russellwall1964]

I’m not a farmer, but I’ve been around cattle most of my adult life. You absolutely did the right thing - you saved your cow and did so in the safest and kindest way. It’s part of life with livestock (as you said) and it’s good for folks to see moments like this and how you choose to handle them. No criticism here, Tyler - you did well.

[@JulieEnslow]

By the time you knew you had a problem - as you never saw her in labor - it was too late to do anything else except lose the cow. Since that was even worse than the outcome - you did the best that could have been done. I was fine until you told her you were sorry. That was the sweetest thing ever, it touched my heart but left a bruise. Hope you had something you could give her to deal with the physical pain and loss. If I were your grandmother - I'd be so proud of you. That's how I know your grandfather would feel the same way.

You did very well Tyler. Saving the cow is #1. She’ll most likely breed back next year. Losing a calf isn’t easy but if you lose the cow, you lost it, the current calf and any future calves she would have had. You made the best decision in those circumstances.

That was the most difficult assisted cow delivery I've ever watched. God Bless you FTR, you saved Mamma just like nature tries to do.
