I think Sniper wants to return to where his grandparents came from it's a lot warmer there. Blue Healers were first bred here in Australia, the say that the yellow spots in the corner of their eyebrow is a throwback to their Dingo heritage. Many years ago we bred Blue Healers to work our cattle but now we have Red Kelpies as they are better travellers. The Blue Healer is a good yard up dog when you might have some stubborn cattle, my daughter in law has Snipers twin brother, he is her guard dog and playmate won't leave her side. Interesting what you mentioned about the calving temperature where -12 is better than above zero. We have finally received some welcome rain, not enough to fill dams but good grass rain. Hope you have a safe winter coming into you calving time, from memory your stud cows should be soon followed by you commercial cows. I see a few sleepless nights for you with little help since the boys are away. Stay safe and here is to a good successful calving.

Sniper doesn't mind the cold, at -40 he would probably wouldn't mind a vacation. The first blue heelers in Canada came to my home town when a Veterinarian imported them after spending his winter bronc riding in Australia. I'll sleep when I'm dead so I don't need it now. lol

[@sclivestock5943]

Thanks for taking us along doing chores. Best of luck with the calving. We should be starting in about a week. Take care. Scott.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I hope things go good for you

[@garywest8901]

This summer I came off my horse when I was day working got a concussion had amnesia and still branded 600calves that day because I love it.

[@randolphlearning5255]

Good one,nice to see the baby's on the ground, or should I say straw. Best of luck with your health.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

thank you

[@mikenicholson2548]

I know your pain here in Kalispell Montana snow warm wet mud cold snow warm. It's been a pain. Glad for a mellow winter but to much weather swings.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

yup you would know all about it , my neighbor to the south

[@randymaylowski2485]

Well if or when it comes down to it, it's better to have a calf that's chilly then having a calf that's freezing, but that's my opinion. Not trying to sound nosey, but do you feed just plain dry green hay? Cuz us framers usually don't give our cows grain they just have good quality hay and they still get content, sometimes fat depends on how much you give then...lol but inerways I was just asking. So good video. Last but not least sorry to hear about your dad hope he's doing well.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Right now everything is eating corn silage, when more cows are calved out I will start feeding some hay everyday.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Our forecast isn't very appealing, 34 above on Wednesday then 0 for the high on Thursday! Talk about a shock to the system!

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Our forecast has changed to stay nice but last night we were 0F when it wasn't supposed to be

[@kopenhagenkid]

Would u buy a bale shredder if the price was right

[@AndersonCattleCo]

yes

[@scroggshorsetraining7889]

Cool video. Get it coool. Your cows sure look good and seem to be very content. You stay at em man. Spring almost here.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

cows are living the dream

[@mannylangstraatlangstraatf6134]

Looking good, wish we had the problem of thawing at this point lol

[@SouthSaskFarmer1]

Send it this way lol!

[@AndersonCattleCo]

you bet

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

Ain't that how it always goes with calving....when it's cold they drop like flies and when it's warm nothing happens

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I think they do it on purpose

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

I absolutely loved watching the chores please do more like this. New friend Ruthie

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I probably will do more vids with chores

[@kopenhagenkid]

Good luck calving

[@AndersonCattleCo]

thanks

[@Amaranthian450]

With the amount of straw your using for bedding alone I think you could make a payment on a nice bale shedder?

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Maybe but you have to have money to make the payments and I don't

[@steveminer8341]

Gee, your heifers are carrying good condition. They look great. You're doing something right.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

thanks

[@straightpipeacres6365]

Was it that heifer that had the twin bull calves?

[@AndersonCattleCo]

nope Wyatt had a purebred cow have the twins but first she stole the heifers calf. Locked the cow up down at the steel corral and she was doing ok with her calves then Tuesday morning I found she had killed them both.

[@alexschoenberg448]

I like my May / June calving. I don't care to mess with them in the cold and storms.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

If I owned my grass I would calve in May.

[@Theblindfarmer]

Move to far south then you be fighting mud all winter I’d like some frozen ground those bunk feeders get cheaper every year the first 2 I ever bought in 2010 are still in good shape the 5 I bought 3 years ago the liners are all to pieces

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I'm thinking Hawaii , no winter feeding just rotate pastures. lol

[@Theblindfarmer]

AndersonCattleCo. Lol I did see a 100 acre farm for sale there it was pretty cheap $7000000 is all

[@sowerscattleco3484]

Suppose to have 8 inches the next day or too, just hope the wind doesn’t blow

[@AndersonCattleCo]

The wind is the wild card, wind sucks and can turn a good day bad and a bad day worse.

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Boy alot of straw gets covered. Boy if you & I had sniper lungs, we would be in good shape. Anyways good luck & Thanks for now

[@AndersonCattleCo]

so true

[@modsquad8817]

Have you ever had to put a cow down? I had too the other day felt bad cause she had a 2 month old calf. The cow was 14+ years of age. She was from 3 bulls ago. Not my cow. and when she was in better condition I tried telling grandma to sell her but noooo "she can have calfs 2x a year" I said "bull sh*t" Sure enough. 12/11/19 she had her 2nd calf for 2019 sadly saturday she was dying. Couldnt get her to lift head. The prior 3 weeks she was on alfalfa hay. I think that's why she lasted 3 more weeks.

[@modsquad8817]

Tbh it's what ever. It happens once a blue moon. Hopefully grandma will hear me out next sale day and I see an old cow with not to good looking of a bag and body condition.

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I have had to put a few cows down over the years

[@troyremmers6792]

What kinda of cows are they

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Red angus

[@garynutbrown9211]

Did you go for your stress test yet?

[@AndersonCattleCo]

yes but they forgot to tell me not to take a heart pill they started on me so it took a vey long time to get my hear rate high enough to test.
