Whether It’s A Good Idea Or Not…We Bought Some More Cows!

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Thanks for sharing the purchase of cows and what it took to get ready for them. Now you will have get another calf warmer 😄👍

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha that crossed my mind too. I know I could have used an extra one this year a time or two.

[@Brievel]

Hope the new additions are blessings to you and your herd! I love hearing the redwinged blackbirds in everyone's videos. Been without a car for a few years now so can't get out to the rice fields where they hang out around here. Their song brings back such good memories.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

That’s probably something I take for granted around here being able to hear the birds all the time.

[@robertsimmons3556]

I'm sure you thought long and hard on buying these girls given their history. Looks like you have a good plan for quarantine, they all look good on screen. You are always busy Bryan! Good luck with you new plan, Spring is almost here! Good update!

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks! I did think awhile on this one and it seemed like a good way to keep growing my herd. It always makes a guy a little nervous though buying when prices are so high. Hope you are doing good!

[@robertsimmons3556]

@@LuthiRanchWY Thanks Bryan! I know what you mean about prices! If I can find the last local sale barn prices I will send a copy to you. All looks good on Luthi Ranch! Keep up the good work!

[@onebigteddybear]

Jared looks like a savvy cattle hauler

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Probably not many better

[@wayner806]

Bryan! I enjoy your videos and have learned a lot about your operation but I’ve got to disagree with you on the comment you made about a ‘nice spring day’ while you were shoveling snow and wearing a coat! That ain’t spring!!!! 😂 Cows looked pretty good and seemed calm for just coming of the trailer. Hope it’s s good buy for you. When truck pulled back on the highway, I ‘honked’ about 2 seconds before he actually did. I thought that was funny. His Pete sure sounded good driving away. Look forward to next week’s video.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha I guess it’s all about perspective when it comes to the weather. When it’s only 85 degrees here this summer and hear me complaining about the heat you can laugh and tell me that’s not hot. Jared has a nice set up for sure! Hope you are doing well!

[@Ad_venture666]

Looks like a good deal 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing Bryan.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks for watching!

[@beckygreathouse2660]

I noticed that you are able to shovel that water onto the snow W ONE HAND and film w the other hand Incredible! Sounds like a reasonable plan to grow ur herd. That semi was a double decker. Wow!

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha I guess a guy can develop unique skills when your trying to record everything.

[@toddmuehleip9250]

Nice building to feed them in . Is that left over from dairy production days? Will you be able to produce enough hay to feed all the cows next winter?

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Yes, that Quonset is where we used to keep all of the milk cows. I used to calve my cows in it when I had a smaller herd but as I’ve kept growing my herd it would have been a lot of work trying to keep it clean so I’ve since moved to calving the way I do now outside. I’ve been thinking about moving the cows through there as they calve though for their first couple days then kicking them back out. It would take alittle more time and effort on my part. I hope to have enough hay for next winter.

[@motel581]

Good luck with the new cows- good time to have to stock up on hay!

[@LuthiRanchWY]

That’s the big project for this summer is making sure I have plenty of hay.

[@Charles12509]

Hello from Washington state, it’s a muddy mess here too…definitely hate the mud…very interesting video…I drove tanker truck so that Jake was music to my ears…

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha I loved hearing that truck also. Jared has a nice set up. I kept some of the clips of the truck a little long hoping someone else would enjoy the sound of the truck also!

[@sclivestock5943]

Nice looking group of gals you picked up. I would love a group like that if I could get more ground to run them on here in central Alberta. You still have a lot of snow. Our snow is basically gone. Rain coming this week.Best of luck and have a great week

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thank you! I’ve been really happy with them so far! We are out of the snow now and it’s been wet and rainy this week. I’m getting close to being caught up on videos but I’m still a couple weeks behind. Good luck with the rain this week!

[@darylgilbert3494]

Good lookin bunch of cows. All the best with them.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thank you!

[@naptime1900]

Dad used to call them cow Pattie’s. You could skim the top off of them with a front loader to make trails.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha we call them cow patties also sometimes.

[@Purplepinkmom]

Wow, more cows 🐄. What a blessing

[@LuthiRanchWY]

A blessing or a curse haha we will have to wait and see if it was the right decision.

[@Purplepinkmom]

@LuthiRanchWY Have faith Brother.

[@dougallmcmillan8970]

You are a non-stop worker. I can only wish layabouts would follow your example. The world would be a better place.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@scottraven1721]

Another great video 🙂 Thank you

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks! Hope you are doing good

[@toddcaskey9984]

#27 I am I was busy from 06:00 to 8 pm had my kids come over and help me for my birthday gift. Great job

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha well happy belated birthday! Good to have family close by!

[@OrinBeavers]

I was excited for you and your family i live here around Eldorado ks start of the Flint hills cattle country we live about 8 miles from a big sell Barn and got 5 more sell Barnes with in 50 miles of us and most of the cows have been going to slaughter because no rain and no Grass and hay in short supply and very high so very nice to see you and your family saving some i am very excited for more videos coming i found your channel when you was having trouble with the elk and have went back and watched almost all of your videos so keep them videos coming and I will give them all a 👍👍🇺🇲

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks for the support! That was a rough winter last year when we were fighting all those elk. It’s been a relief having the elk fence in and not having to deal with them this winter. Sorry to hear about the lack of rain in your area. Hopefully you get some moisture soon!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Nice looking new cows Bryan

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thank you, I thought so too!

[@buckreynolds7475]

Yeah but it will make the grass grow when it warmers up

[@LuthiRanchWY]

It will definitely be nice and green around here once it warms up.

[@georgestorey8945]

Great video Bryan when we moved cattle felt the same butterfly's LoL usually everything worked out good though. Those new cows did seem pretty calm to me that's a good thing. Keeping it short today kinda in uncharted waters for my wife and me. Stay safe and take care always a good time watching the videos that Jake did sound nice. Think Pink

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thanks! I’ve been really happy with the that group of cows so far. Jared had a nice truck for sure.

[@Sonoma_Coast]

Wow, non-stop work. How many hours a week ranching and how many driving freight? I imagine you do 8 hours a day driving job then about 6 hours ranching?

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Every week is different but yes on a busy day where I have to work on the truck I’m usually driving 8-10 hours then 3-4 hours doing chores on the ranch when I get home. More hours if we are in the middle of hay season or have a big project going on. I’m definitely never bored haha. Has the weather changed for you guys yet?

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Seems like a rough go with the weather so far this year for you.

[@TimothySkutnik]

Where are you located? How many cows do you run, and what breeds?

[@LuthiRanchWY]

We are located in Western Wyoming, USA. We mostly run black angus, red angus and some Hereford mixes. My wife and I have 100 cows

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Bryan

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Thank you!

[@rancher35]

Just curious what made these cows worth $200-$300 above cull cow prices?

[@rescuecow90]

I would’ve said just above cull price was fair.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Paying a little above cull price might have not been worth it for some but I thought these cows were worth the little extra money for a couple reasons. 1. Their young age 2-4 years old with only 3 or 4 being over 3 years old 2. I knew where they were coming from and the type of operation they ran, they were raised on that ranch and were nice calm cows 3. The ranch they were raised on focus on genetics, they live in a similar environment to ours so they focus on genetics that thrive grazing in areas between 7-9000 ft in elevation. Our ranch sits at 6,000 ft elevation and our summer range is up in the 7,000-9,000 ft elevation range. I guess we will have to wait until this fall and see if it was a good deal or not when we see what bred cows cost and if I saved money doing it this way.

[@derekadams729]

Hope that works out ok for you Luthi.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I hope so too!

[@WYORancher307]

Always a good idea :)

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Haha I sure hope so!

[@skeon67]

Sold 3 calves yesterday all about 500lbs. average 2.80 lb, not bad.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Hopefully the prices stay good for this fall also

[@missouritraveler6401]

Nice bunch of stock cows. I hope when You buy some replacement bulls they are not sway back, pot bellied, short tailed, with their tail head higher than their forehead, overfat, rinky dinks. I was a Registered Angus Breeder for 23yrs and some of these so called carcass bulls make me sick to look at. It takes more than high marbeling, big ribeyed bulls with a crest as a yearling as big as 4 year old to make a good set of cows. I would think that You would want a bull that would breed cattle built like the ones You bought. Look forward to Your video's each week.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I bought some pretty nice looking bulls I think to put with them. I’ll have a video with the bulls here in a few weeks. Glad to hear you are excited about our videos! Makes it worth putting in the effort to make them

[@simpleman4224]

Hope it works out for ya!👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I do too!

[@vitaliykramarenko8131]

👍🙏👍

[@LuthiRanchWY]

👍

[@chrisevansgunshorsesranchi699]

Cattle prices are high. Hay prices are low Why wouldn't you want to buy more cows?? Good luck

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Hay prices are low lucky you. Not here in this part of the world.

[@LuthiRanchWY]

Just makes a guy nervous when the cow prices are so high. I think it’s natural to think things are going to tank right after you buy haha. Either way they are a nice looking bunch of cows and I’ve been happy with them.

[@raymooney6506]

Gee you have ice n snow n we have rattlesnakes coming out of their dens different worlds

[@LuthiRanchWY]

I can’t deal with snakes, even the little water and garder snakes we have around here scare me haha.

[@raymooney6506]

@LuthiRanchWY u deal with ice snow n grumpy cows what are a few snakes n wild hogs have ate a bunch of them have a great Sunday may the lord bless yall
