For all those men out there that faint during the birth of their children, let’s just give cattle men a big thumbs up for being specialists in birthing. Nothing fazes them, shoulder deep, covered in birth , blood and poop. I admire their expertise and hands on dedication. Good job.

[@ElizabethCox-es2ic]

I really appreciate that your children are so involved with the work on the farm. It is great that they have their own cattle.

[@jeannerogers7085]

Ah, the ranch refrain, "Close that gate!"

[@rickkneeshaw6337]

Another busy day for you guys, hopefully that last track to change works out tomorrow. Mystery Daddy? LOL!! Enjoyed your video.

Peter is such a great hired man good worker

[@gail8494]

Great job with the tracks!

[@haroldharberson161]

I really enjoy your videos I'm watching you from Slaughters Ky Thank You

[@conniesingh4760]

I agree! Great videos! Watching from NM, USA

[@TwinElmFarms]

Glad to hear, always cool hearing where people are watching from.

[@roxannaweaver2155]

I knew there was a reason I don't have a farm/ranch. I'm worn out just watching this.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Very enjoyable video

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

Guys, I like your building. All that natural light instead of dark even with artificial light. I am sure this helps when working the animals and good for the people as well. Good job!

[@TwinElmFarms]

We love it. Wejust wish we would have made the pony walls at least one foot higher.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

Congratulations on your 100th calves, best wishes with continuous success, hello Peter....you're awesome!

[@TwinElmFarms]

Lol I'll let Pieter know.

[@alisciamarotta3888]

@@TwinElmFarms thank you....sorry for the misspelling Pieter.... must be France Canadian, eh

[@TwinElmFarms]

@alisciamarotta3888 lol no worries, he is Dutch. He is the only Pieter I know that spells it like that

[@shooster5884]

No water for the cows in the pens?

[@kepnjem]

The cow and the heifer are probably wanting a long drink. 😢

[@jamessparks2691]

Really enjoying your videos. Used to have Shorthorn cows. Loved thier color, especially the white roads. Great dispositions. Sadly, around here everyone has been brain washed, if they're not black, they're not any good. They bring considerably less, if they're not black. Again, enjoy your vodeos.

[@TwinElmFarms]

Thanks, glad your enjoying the videos. I feel your thoughts regarding black cattle. I'm loving our shorthorn simmental cross.

[@Cricket2731]

If the calf is being sold for meat, what does it matter what color its hair is? After all, all meat is red!

[@TwinElmFarms]

@Cricket2731 in my opinion/ understanding, the color of hair doesn't mean the meat tastes better. But for some reason black calves bring more money at auction.

@@TwinElmFarms, it's a fad???

[@59snitt]

That is a sweet lookin heifer ❤

[@stevecobb7844]

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I dont know much about Canada, I didnt expect to see so much level ground.

[@TwinElmFarms]

It's very flat from my yard 80 miles east and south,

[@russellcrowell5857]

nice looking stud cow

[@darrylentz2866]

What are the demensions of your calving pens??

[@TwinElmFarms]

10ft by 10ft

[@tf7274]

Yesterday I had a cow push out a calf like when you step on a McDonald's ketchup packet.... We paid big bucks for an easy calving bull, but this is getting ridiculous.

[@TwinElmFarms]

To small? Or what are you saying is ridiculous?

[@tf7274]

@@TwinElmFarms We did a bunch of pulling last year to start...this year we haven't needed to yet. But we're only 10 out of 79...hope it continues.

[@TwinElmFarms]

Hope it continues for you. We have helped 15 percent this year and besides the c section ones, (which were both bought) most pulls have been pretty easy.

[@marig6184]

Why valve outside?

[@TwinElmFarms]

When the temperature is decent and the calves don't freeze, outside has more air movement, fresher air.

[@elizabethtoledo30]

Do u keep the boy baby's also?

[@TwinElmFarms]

Only if the kids use it for 4H or we keep as a bull.

[@elizabethtoledo30]

@@TwinElmFarms And if not do they get killed

[@TwinElmFarms]

@elizabethtoledo30 we sell them at a livestock auction and the buyer will bring them to finishing weight.

[@elizabethtoledo30]

@Twin Elm Farms now I understood thanks 🙏

[@lisahymel4917]

The mama cow that you pulled her calf out and the mama went down for a few minutes. Why in the hell did you kick her??!!! You just pulled a big calf out of her she needed a few minutes to compose herself. I wish she would’ve kicked you until you fell on the ground! Take better care of your animals!JS

[@stevecobb7844]

Even though you hate to disturb an animal that is lying down, it's the only way to see if it is ok. The cow has to be able to get up. How else do you check that? From the videos I have watched, I think these people take very good care of their animals.

[@elizabethtoledo30]

It's very small I wouldn't want to be in that either

[@TwinElmFarms]

We only keep them in a pen until they have bonded with their calf or until calf is ready to go outside.

[@thesingleequestrian413]

Some heifers hormones get them a little to excited with their babies and they might need to be separated or the calf could get hurt. Stalling them for a bit is no big deal.

[@SJP33]

they dont have to kick the mothers when they lay down, or push the calf to hurry it up or separate from its mum, all money making speed i shant watch another video, the 1st 20 mins was enough

[@sarahorton9670]

I really agree it's really sad to be honest

[@jademoon5996]

Totally agree. My family raised angus and we never abused our animals.

[@lisahymel4917]

I just said about the same thing!
