Turning Bulls in with the Cows!

-Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.
To God be the Glory

Damaris really seems excited about the garden. That is great. Always enjoy seeing cattle doing cattle things. Have been watching for less than a year so I am looking forward to turning the cattle out on the leases.

[@charleskittler4330]

Time for bulls to make it happen 👍❤️🐂

[@ellisritz7654]

Rain is such a game changer for many things, gld you got a good one. Happy to see the garden growing. Drone shots were really good.

[@jospike1470]

From your drone shot....amazing how they choose to follow the same paths/trails - very visible from above.

[@johnhughes2113]

Loved the drone shot, perfect music track. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 take care all.

[@reubenmiller30]

Glad you got plenty of rain! You’ll be bailin hay before you know it.

[@bohammarberg4072]

Good morning! 🌹🌹🌹

[@deltonwatts9726]

You certainly did have a great rain. We'll be anxious to see the crops, both in the fields and garden. Great video! Thanks.

[@mattswitenki3945]

Stone barn looks like barns from back in the day in the U.K !

[@cristinamilligan3416]

super cool shots of the cattle out ❤❤❤❤❤

[@verdagarner5112]

Great video love your your little one, he so adorable.

[@scottraven1721]

man, that is some really excellent photography in this clip. And really interesting story of how the decisions are made, and so, thank you very much. God bless.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Good looking bunch of bulls. All seam to have a great temperament.

[@harveypenner2386]

Great video! love the "spaghetti western" (re:old Clint Eastwood movies) type of music... Glad you're getting the rain you need!! God bless you!!!

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Harvey! God Bless!

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You

[@robertdouglas4130]

I love the music selection with the drone footage 😀

[@michaelmcguire3983]

Wow, it looks like you got some really good moisture skin pretty dry around the country. Take care my friend.

[@sleepranch]

We’re very thankful for it, hope you’re doing well Michael!

[@kathysmith4261]

I love your videos. Silus and Angus are growing fast.

[@jonpittman7374]

Beautifull country. Nice bulls also.

[@coyroberts8356]

Thanks 😊

[@lynnalohaaloha9439]

Damaris looks like she is doing really good with her garden. Rain sure helped. The bulls are looking good. Sweet Silas looks like he is still teething

[@sleepranch]

She is doing great! Hope you are doing well to Lynn!

[@nesandhiller5323]

Amazing what a good rain can do! Happy to hear you got a good one. Blessed to receive a good one down here too.

[@sleepranch]

Glad to hear that!

[@tthomestead2763]

She needs fencing around her garden to keep the dog from running on it and kill her plants after she's done so much work on it. 😊

[@sleepranch]

Yes she does! Haha

[@tonyforrester5072]

What a day to be a bull😏😉😁

[@cherrydowns7745]

Reminds me of the movie "The dirty dozen" When the squad was rewarded with a truckload of ladies! ROL

[@sleepranch]

😂

[@cherrydowns7745]

What a beautiful herd of bulls!

[@seanzyw.2603]

Mornin brother! Nice shot of the birds and the bees this morning there, cowboy. Haha 😮 hope all is well with the family brother. Thanks for keeping us updated on that little Sojourner.

[@sleepranch]

Will do! Thank man! Haha hope you’re well!

[@donnaparrish7638]

Beautiful drone footage again Carson of some really gorgeous land. The bulls didn’t seem so sure of themselves going into the trailer but comping out their hormones started kicking in and they knew exactly why they were there. Nature, I love it. Hi Damaris, it’s always good to see you and baby Silas. Your garden is going to be so pretty and beneficial to your family. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks. Thank God for the rain. Our panhandle finally got some substantial rains after 248 days without a drop. Over here on the east side got some soaking too. Prayers continue going up for rain for crops and grasses for the animals. Thanks for your and the family’s work helping to feed folks across the land. I’m thankful for all of you who do. And thanks for sharing.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you Donna! That is a long time without rain, I’m glad they finally got some! Hope you are doing well, God Bless!

[@kevincarder5350]

Always enjoy the drone footage. Silas must be getting ready to cut some teeth. Happy for the rain you're getting. Hopefully that will make a lot of hay for you this summer.

[@rhondafloyd1728]

I love to see the beautiful landscapes that is such a beautiful place

[@taggunter975]

Awesome job and a blue heeler being a blue heeler hahahaha

[@izzy1949]

[@sleepranch]

[@kenparham5747]

Angus just wants some attn.. When Silas gets bigger, they are gonna be a pair! Glad you guys got a good rain and God bless!

[@sleepranch]

They will be a good pair haha take care Ken!

[@kurtarehart6349]

Wow that be so fun to check cows with drone !!! a good bull joke: a young bull and an old bull come over hill and there are a bunch of cows at bottom the young bull says lets run down there, breed a few of them the old bull says i am going to walk down breed them all ...LOL !

[@sleepranch]

😂😂

[@dalewadsworth5703]

WOW ! Every thing looks so green and alive. Even the bulls liked the rain . So glad ya’l are getting some . We have also been getting 😂substantial amounts of moisture . Hope it keeps up for us both . Praying for blessings

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Dale, God Bless!

[@benburns5995]

Wow, congratulations on the 431,000 views on this video.

[@lachlanandrews3596]

You can tell that those boys really like the ladies just like I do. 😂😂

[@lachlanandrews3596]

You guys sound like a good family. I hope you’re doing well in life and may God bless you all!

[@embreyd4e686]

You know why gardeners make the best dj's?? Its because they turnip the beets 😂

[@sleepranch]

😂

[@badgerpa9]

Angus is acting just like a blue. Love it, he just wants to be part of the family. I hope you have a great year for your cattle. I love the rolling land, your own Kettle Moraine area. Plant a little extra lettuce outside of the garden fence and you may get a nice rabbit. I hope you all stay safe and healthy.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Badger Pa! Will do, hope you stay safe and healthy as well!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Beautiful ranch. Great video. God Bless.

[@sleepranch]

Thanks Becky, take Care!

[@joannielsen8502]

Morning, so nice to see Damaris busy and you having the baby for a change, I guess Silas has some teeth coming in?

[@sleepranch]

His teeth are getting close! Haha

[@Marilyn12346]

Thanks for another cool video Carson, Blessings 🙏

[@ladyryan902]

Luv the stone work on the silo/ barn. Nice ranch

[@terryhobdy5727]

I enjoyed the video. Im happy that you got rain.

[@farrukhiqbal1767]

[@brucerleech]

Thanks a lot I really enjoy the video

[@randy6650]

Awesome video ❤😊

[@justinmills8084]

You live in some beautiful country.

[@rmlestes]

Thanks

[@diegosoler8848]

Hi! I'm curious how much time it takes to move the bull into the cow's paddock. thank you for explaining everything in such detail!

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

Cow breeding 101! Lol

[@hankbraff1135]

We need some on our place, no decent rain for sometime now, hopefully we will get some soon, theres nothing like the sound of rain on a tin roof th make a farmwer happy, great vid enjoyed this one.

[@sleepranch]

Thank you! I hope you guys get some rain!

[@thomaskeil1437]

With newly bought and recently leased bulls, how do you determine sociability with people working with them. I imagine the bulls have reputations provided by sellers and leasing agents.

[@sleepranch]

Mostly just by trial and error! We will get to know them over the next few months and see what they are like!

[@Ronald-hx6zn]

Love the stone work on the silo and barn from what year?

[@sleepranch]

Built in 1917!

[@marydanen5220]

God's blessings💖

[@abdulsaki9701]

Rain rain come again and again after the sun...

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

Sure hope we get some rain up here in quappelle Saskatchewan

[@sleepranch]

I hope you guys do too!

[@tonyserbousek8367]

So when i was really young and I’d go out in the pasture with my dad to check cattle, if the bull was breeding, my dad just told me they were dancing. He said after seeing that happen a half dozen times checking cows, i came home and told my mom “that bull really likes to dance a lot”. SHe had no idea what i was talking about at first lol

[@sleepranch]

😂that’s funny!

[@williammatzek4660]

We got an inch a week for the last couple weeks.

[@sleepranch]

Awesome!

[@Berternakdidesa]

Hello from bali Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@justinmills8084]

Fence in at least twice as much as your wife wants to garden. Then you only need to build it once.

[@patriciawarner1274]

Nope, nope YES!

[@dalevig8118]

I have deep roots in western South Dakota. It's great to see this.

[@chudamani46]

Big form ❤ 0:24

[@kerstin.jitschin5861]

I like natural breeding ❤

[@janetlutter9925]

What does it cost to lease a bull? We need rain bad here in kimball send some our way

[@sleepranch]

I’ll try to send some! Haha it’s $1500

[@Florida239]

I didn’t know the success rate was so low when you AI cattle…also that stone silo and barn is beautiful how old is it ? 🙏🇺🇸

[@sleepranch]

It was built in 1917!

[@NeoNeoSufi]

The background music is superb. Can anyone share the link?

[@sleepranch]

Thanks! Yep anyone can!

[@fabriceenjalbert4538]

🇫🇷 If not confidential approximative cost to lease a bull vs buying it ? I doubt we have such a service in Europe .. Great video as allways God bless

[@sleepranch]

Thank you! It cost $1500 for the year! Take care and God Bless!

[@ClassicNathan]

There was a "King of the Hill" episode where Hank tells Bobby, "My dad took me to the stockyard to teach me about the birds and the bees. And taxes."

How many bulls do you use altogether including lease bulls?

[@sleepranch]

I think around 25

Hi

[@thereseburton1414]

Time to pay the rent.

[@zimmermanfarms9158]

What kind of bull is the one with horns ?

[@sleepranch]

He’s Sim/Angus but may have a touch of something else in him

[@denisedenomme361]

👍🇨🇦

[@dennismaley4232]

Can you tell me why cattle have to follow the same trail all the time

[@sleepranch]

I’m not sure, they are just creatures of habit!

Speak up dad

Don't need this. Kinky
