- Hey everyone, My name is Carson Sleep and I am a 6th generation rancher on the Sleep Ranch.
Our ranch is located in the Black Hills of South Dakota where my family settled and started ranching in 1883. I started this channel to show how a working ranch operates and to document our everyday activities. My goal is to have fun and to bridge part of the ever growing gap between American Beef producers and consumers.
Join me as I learn more about raising cattle, caring for the land and working/operating equipment!

Enjoying all your videos.... Ok so I'm binge watching.... also watching your subscribers going up... so cool.... Thanks for sharing Carson.... Love the content... Love & Peace
Thanks for watching them Pinky, I really appreciate it! Love and peace!
That's a lot of bull! Congratulations on your 6 month anniversary! It's so good to see cowboys and cowgirls on horseback!
Carson you have the best personality and I just believe you will become a TH-cam star one day along with your beautiful sweet wife and family! So enjoy your videos!!!
My gosh! Look at that view!
Great team work between you and your dad in bringing that Bull home. He was not happy but you succeeded in the end.
Carson, like it or not; that cold air will prove beneficial for you're jaw. A 93° day in July; you'd be feelin'' it that much more.
Glad you got him down he is a good looking bull. Beautiful scenery there.
What beautiful country. Good grief. And Miss Demaris is so sweet. Now is a good time in your lives to start using tooth products from The Calcium Institute.
Wow. Neat old milk truck I saw for a split second!
Beautiful life and Beautiful family! Y’all are TRULY BLESSED!!! I I’ve your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Robin, happy thanksgiving!
Like your videos.
Something I learned is if you can round up a cow who knows the role, grab her, and that bull will follow her out of the hills and back in to the corrals.
Thank you! That’s a great idea!
We have an older cow that we use for just that purpose. Shes an amazing help!
You boys need an Australian stock whip. Makes driving cattle so much easier .
What a team. All in a days work, eh guys. Well done. Keep safe. Keep well.
Thank you Leslie, you too!
Love watching you and your wife riding and getting cattle round up
Thanks Robert!
Always have odd number of bulls in pasture with cows, that way two are fighting and one is breeding.
What beautiful country you live in! You are SO LUCKY and very BLESSED ! We lived in Clark S.D. in 1982- 84. Young and dumb and thought I could chase a black bull around. He swung around quick and head butted my horses mid section. I was SO LUCKY my horse didn't go down or buck me off. Learned my lesson! Give the bulls some space and don't annoy them too much.
That’s one stubborn bull!
BEAUTIFUL animals and ranch. Skilled videography. Thank you. Aloha from Hawaii.
Thank you Carolyn!
Sweet congratulations!!!😊
Some of those bulls can be stubborn that’s for sure. Great job getting him where he needed to go. You and your dad seem to get along very well and make a great team. That a lot better than most kids and parents do. Great job on the video coverage.
Congratulations with your wedding anniversary
Thanks Desire!
Nice to see your wife in your video Carson
She’s prettier to watch than I am;)
I miss those days but would be having me some working dogs to deal with those wild ones.
Great video Carson
Determination pay off.👍❤️🇨🇦
Just found your site, great videos. Beautiful country and great-looking cattle. Michigan

Would love to do this looks amazing 🥰 would love to to come to the USA 🇺🇸 for a holiday as well
You are welcome anytime!
Jane, do it! I wanted to go to Germany; glad I did. I took my German Shepherd there for a month; for training. Everything turned out just the way I wanted it to. Great trip.
Good luck finding your bull
good looking group of bulls
Thanks Brent!
Hi Carson,
I just came across your channel and love what I see. Only watching a couple of videos tells me that I'm here to stay and look forward to more content. I can tell you're a humble, hard-working young man. I grew up on a small farm in southern Utah and have always owned horses so can relate to some of your experiences. We also leased a cattle ranch and had a permit on the nearby mountain range. I really enjoyed that lifestyle.
Thank you Stan, that means a lot! I bet you have some great stories that would be fun to hear!
@@sleepranch we drive to rapid city every 4th of July a roping. I wonder if we drive through your country
The floor of your stock trailer would last a lot longer if you shoveled out the bs and kept it cleaner. Enjoyed your video
Hi from Manitoba Canada find your videos enjoyable to watch will be looking forward to seeing more
Thank you John! We really appreciate it!
Beautiful scenery on your ride
Wow!
I enjoy your videos I hope you keep making them reminds me of when we. we're running cattle and farming
Thanks Mark, I’m sure you e got some great memories!
Amen!!😊
Dang bull!!!! Time to go home!!!
Bulls can be best buddies in the paddock once you start to move them they want to fight. A dangerous place to be is behind the bull that looses the fight as he doesn't care about you and will run straight over you. Usually a lone bull is a bull that gets picked on by other bulk and doesn't want to be with other bulls. You father and you did a great job getting that lone bull as they can be a problem. Enjoying you channel a lot, only started watching a night or two ago so have been catching up on your vids.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I hope things are going well over there!
Just fun to watch. Thank you!
Thank you Ronald!
great stuff.. thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for checking it out!
He he!😊
Great videos and thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you!
You “lost” your wisdom teeth and yet you are giving us wisdom about acorns versus diamonds. Stay safe
Maybe not the best advice! Haha
Thanks
I just found your channel. Love it and thank you for sharing.
I found your channel by accident.
I have no idea who I'm watching.
A introduction at the top of all your videos would be good .
Thank you agin.. looking forward to the next adventure.
That’s a great idea, thank you!
Our place is 10 miles south of Cheyenne Crossing on 85, near Trailshead Lodge. Is your place near there? Just found your channel and I'm enjoying it very much.
Thank you! Yes we are very close, one of our forest service permits is just south of Cheyenne crossing!
Lookin for & don't see your, Ranch follow along wherever you go Dog...got to have one somewhere....good video's.
Haha that’s true! Still looking for the right one to get! Thank you!
Get yourself about a 12' bull whip and learn how to use it. Makes life a lot easier.
Or cur dogs
Yeah once horse learns noise the crack of the whip is great moving cattle slow.
A couple questions: When you re-introduce that single bull to the rest of the herd, is he going to have to fight all the other bulls to establish his rung in the pecking order? And, why don't you have dogs to help with the drive and things like rounding up that lone bull?
Wonderful video. My dad grew up in the Black Hills, migrated to the west coast during the depression.
That’s awesome your Dad grew up out here!
Usually our bulls only fight each other if they don’t have enough space to get away from one another. The pasture we have them in now is large enough that they probably won’t bother each other too much.
Dogs can be very unselfish to people who’s cows are used to being worked by them. Our dogs aren’t used to it so when dogs are around the cows chase the dogs and try to trample them. If we slowly introduced using dogs I think it would work and that’s something I want to look into more!
I’m enjoying the videos. How many acres to a animal does it take in your part of the country? Beautiful Merry Christmas and God Bless. I’m just watching this on Dec 25.
Thanks Mark, we run our cows on forest service permits in the Black Hills during the summer. In those pastures we have anywhere from 160-85 acres per cow. That is a set and determined by the forest service. In the foothills where we are headquartered it’s about 20-25 acres per animal! Thanks for the question! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Carson, someone with a good eye has been buying the ranch's bulls. Are you able to find them local or do you have to swing a bigger net? Phenotype only or do EPD's get factored in?
Thank you! We buy from all over the state of South Dakota and have gotten some from ND, NE, MN and WY as well! We put a large focus on EPD’s as well as phenotype!
@@sleepranch from what I'm able to see of your cattle in the videos, I'm not surprised at your use of EPD's. They are nice. There are enough Angus bulls available each year that you can pretty much shop til you find exactly what you're looking for.
You should get a drone
Did you find the last bull?
We did!
Had a neighbor years ago got worked over by a holstein bull! Damn near killed him!
Yikes! Sounds like a bad deal!
@@sleepranch it was! Broke darn near every bone in his body!
Is that old milk truck in background?
Ya I think it was a milk truck or something like that!
Looks like you guys don’t ride very often! You should treat it like bear dogs, at least have one person on a horse that knows what he’s doing. It probably would’ve went a lot quicker.
Is your dad a good sport about your youtubing while working?
Yes he is, I think he thinks it’s funny. I try not to let it get in the way of working too much!
Can you use a drone to find them?
We’ve tried in the past but it was hard to see cows hiding under trees. It’s something we should try again though!
LOL! actually, for a lot of us ladies, the way to our hearts is not diamonds or acorns, its COWS! buy us really nice COWS! ha ha ha!!
Hahaha cows are a gift that keeps on giving!
@@sleepranch YES! lol! well, and horses. You can always give us good horses!
I think I'd get me a drown to find them dowgies.
Ya, I think we will look into getting one! Thanks!
Love the channel. It's just plain real. Good luck bro. If I didn't have 1 foot in the grave, I'd work for room and board.

Thanks for sharing Karen!
Great video! You need to clean out your trailer....just saying.
Thanks John, I know haha
Nothing no worse than a bull going the way you want the it turns on you especially when your on foot .
That’s the truth Larry!
🤔🤔🤫😒🤔🤔
How about a future video on artificial insemination instead of using the bulls?
Great idea Glen!
Ah, that’s so cute at 6 months of marriage. Your so cute…. Waite till you buy her something practical at 10 years of marriage like a complete tool box for home use with nothing but quality tools and see how cute you are. 20 years later my ex still brings it up….. not the reason for the divorce I hope.
Trump!!!😊
Why don't you guys use Dogs?
Mainly because my grandpa has been around and he hates dogs. He isn’t involved as much anymore so we’re really looking into some! Do you have any breeds you recommend for our operation seeing how and where we do things?
good job guys I love watching your videos
Thank you Phil!
Carson, like it or not; that cold air will prove beneficial for you're jaw. A 93° day in July; you'd be feelin'' it that much more.
That’s probably true Brendan!
