Morning Tyler! As Always I Luv watching u Bella and Calli do ur thing on the Ranch. Ur Cows Trust u to take care of them. I am glad u got that out of his Eye. Must have been so much Pain. Thank u so much for Always doing such a great job, Keep it Pushing!
Hoping that those geese just keep moving on! That steer’s eye has got to be feeling better now. Amazed that you didn’t have to halter him. Another productive day on FTR.
Looks like Callie was leading Belly to the finish line..LOL Living in the Flyway like you do, well its got to be a chronic issue. Hope your efforts will help. The steer will do well, good pickup! Good update FTR!!
Your practice pieces would make fantastic garden or yard art! Also, can you do a video on the different types of welding and what each is used for? Inquiring minds would like to know! 😉
Hi Mr Farmer Tyler ranch,I hope that the animal eye is getting better. We are getting a lot of rain over here in England.Good luck, and God bless with your farming from across the pond in Great Britain
❤video ❤ like always I enjoyed hanging out with you ❤ till the next time❤ looking forward to calving ❤have a great day ❤ their is always next year for the geese ❤
Always taking good care of all that is in your care. You can tell by how even the cows respond to you that they trust you. Hope that tape will scare the geese 🪿 away. It was nice getting a bit longer than a short video (yesterday) in between videos. Thanks for sharing your day. Hope you enjoyed your dinner 🥘 Looking forward to next time.
Have you watch some Tig (GTAW) videos to pickup some pointers? There's two styles one is with a super Large Cup which allows the welder to walk the cup in bigger swats, the other is the smaller cups like what you were using it allows you to make close weaves for strength. In welding school we had to accomplish walking the butt end of a small green glass Coke bottle walking & rolling the bottle just slightly side to side making very small progressions forward on a wooden board (2x6 2x8 )in order to qualify to try with the Tig Torch (Tig Rig). The butt of the bottle would leave weave marks on the wood for the welding instructor to know when you had perfected the weave. You can remove the Tungsten from your Tig Torch and go practice walking the cup on a board side to side keeping your weave to about 1/4" wide weave to start. When you watch videos of Tig welding you will see the tungsten go side to side but I say watch the cup action bc he's WALKING THE CUP (weaving the Tig Rig) to get the tungsten to go side to side. Also mount your 4-1/2" grinder face up in a vise and lock it in (squeeze). Crank your grinder up & lock the trigger. Then put your tunsten in a drill and lock the jags around the tungsten and pull the drill trigger while holding a slight angle and Spin Sharpen you Tungsten with a long angle against the grinder. I use to sharpen both end of a piece of Tungsten so that when one end got dull I'd take it out turn it around to the other sharpened end and go back to work. A sharpened tungsten makes a prettier weld. When Tig welding don't touch your tungsten in the weld puddle or you'll get tungsten intrusion in your weld. I Tig welded a many years.
I've seen another farmer have a collar on the cows neck and when he had to do anything around the head , he'd use the collar to tie off the head to keep it from moving to administer meds or possibly tend to their eye. The grass looks so green there. I love the rain
Tyler, it looks like your experiment with the wood chips in the corral really did help reduce the mud in the corral. Do you plan to do more application?
I used to live just south of Washington DC… Canada geese are thick in that area too and they’re such a nuisance!… there’s a couple of companies that offer a service where they use german shepherd type dogs that have been trained to worry the geese but not harm them. Once they have been in that area several times, the geese remember that and all the management team has to do is post a black silhouette type sign (sort of like a scarecrow). The geese aren’t so much of a problem once they’ve been worried like that… maybe your dogs could “volunteer” to help keep the geese less of a scourge in your fields. 🤔
Just takes practice Buddy. Got to get use to using two hands. The closer you can get the cuts the less rod you will have to use. I use to do alot of sanitary welds in the produce industry.
There was a guy who used to bring a couple of dogs out to a small airport near where I lived in Michigan. We were in the flight path of the Canadian Geese as they headed south for the winter. It was always a mess, we dreaded it. Well, I liked watching the guy at the airport have his dogs chase the geese away from the landing zone for the planes. He made some decent money from the Airport making it safer for the planes to land, the whole area was cleaner as well with the geese not settling into the area like they had before. He added more dogs to his team too. I know there was an Australian Cattle Dog, One had Border Collie in him, one was an Irish Setter, a bird dog,hunter, and the youngest one was a Lab. You could train your dogs but that takes time. You are already short on time. Just thought I'd mention it.
Shot in the dark, but could you get a depredation permit. I know here we can go directly through USDA for a migratory bird out of season permit for EXACTLY the reasons you’ve stated. We have a huge issue with geese totally wrecking early spring planting and pastures.
No problem here hearing you very well in the wind you must have an excellent microphone!One more thing I would like to address,think about some gizmo to put on the front of your head gate that controls the head,it is quite a big deal if you had something there,much safer for you!Great video can’t wait for next one!🐕🐖🐄🐓
I took Welding as an elective at (I went for Equine studies ) my friend Kate and I were the only women in the class - we had a blast learning the different types - I did better with Oxyacetyline - ended up with a B for the semester 😊😊
Canada Geese are great table fare. Snow geese are more plentiful but they are somewhat smaller. Canada Geese are grass feeders. They can diminish a field in no time when their numbers are large. Hopefully they migrate further north like in Canada. Some geese stay here all winter as long as they have open waters. They are also called honkers. Take care.
You've got polite steers. They don't talk with their mouths full. I started off learning to stick weld, then learned Mig. Tig welding is by far the easiest welding to learn and makes the prettiest welds.
Your wife would really be pleased if you were to put your practice welding in a prominent place in the living room. Just think, you are now an artist !
@@cassandranealn3575 not to practice Cassandra, just to bring in his beautiful artwork and set it up where you could enjoy it and show off to all your friends !
Perhaps mount your random chunks of welded/practice metal on a base (trophy like) and put FTR or whatever makes you happy… Somewhere on the awesome looking metal and… A product can be shipped to loyal viewers! - - The chunk you showed at 15:25'ish! :-)
Good morning. I am sure you could make a carbide gun, the same as they use to scare birds from the fruit orchards in Australia. Good luck with your geese control.
I will be doing the same thing as you Tyler practicing my tig welding I never did anything like that other than the old school gas welding and it's kind of the same way except you use an arc instead of a flame tip so but easier said than done but I mainly would like to get good at it so that I could do aluminum which is really tougher than steel so anyway you are you get it figured out then tell me all the secrets and then I can use it when I go and do mine thanks Tyler or I should say doc Tyler good job on the old steer there
Here where I live there is a guy that has dogs to scare off the geese. He goes around different places like golf courses that hire his dogs. His dogs even can smell bed bugs.
You need to give away your practice piece with A random person who bought something from you. It will boost your sale and someone will be stoked. Don’t forget to sign it. :)
Little wind mill will do the trick. Had the geese on my yard coming from the lake . Tried the tape work for awhile but the wind mill did the trick local feed store watch your videos all the time stay dry
Man ! I hate round bail feeders. Rings of trampled grass in my pasture unproductive for a couple years I feed my bails between trees in my woods and I have expanded my pasture by more than an acre. I also like to drop bails in thick brush cows stomp down the brush and then I get grass instead of bush.
Wind is actually a blessing from God. Without the wind we would not have enough oxygen to live. Oxygen comes from the leaves of the trees. When there's no leaves on the trees the wind brings oxygen from other parts of the earth so we have enough oxygen in the air at all times. This shows the great wisdom of our creator.
You are the best! That steer must feel so much better. 🥰
I just know that your Grandpa is smiling down on you very proudly 😊
You need to get a big inflatable waving gumby guys lol
Beautiful country!
Ah, so green...looking beautiful in Northern California.
You are so patient. And so observant to pick up the problem fast.
Hello Tyler enjoyed your video. Have a great day.
Love hanging out with you on the ranch.👍👍💚
Morning Tyler! As Always I Luv watching u Bella and Calli do ur thing on the Ranch. Ur Cows Trust u to take care of them. I am glad u got that out of his Eye. Must have been so much Pain. Thank u so much for Always doing such a great job, Keep it Pushing!
Hoping that those geese just keep moving on! That steer’s eye has got to be feeling better now. Amazed that you didn’t have to halter him. Another productive day on FTR.
Callie and Belli are leading their best lives. They do love to run and it is a blast watching them sprint in front of the side-by-side. Good Girls!!!
Spray a color on the mature steers ear tags. Those running dogs are a pleasure to watch. The dark one does purty good for a young one!
I like geese, too, as Christmas dinner 😊
One day I'd like to see Callie driving the side by side with Belly navigating and you running ahead at 25mph 😂
It would be fun to see Calli and Belli keeping the geese away.
I sure hope it stops raining soon for you guys thank you for the video
Looks like Callie was leading Belly to the finish line..LOL Living in the Flyway like you do, well its got to be a chronic issue. Hope your efforts will help. The steer will do well, good pickup! Good update FTR!!
G'day FTR from Australia .........................
Your practice pieces would make fantastic garden or yard art!
Also, can you do a video on the different types of welding and what each is used for? Inquiring minds would like to know! 😉
Tx for helping the steer feel better! Great vid FT! Praying for some much needed sunshine!!!! God’s blessings!❤❤❤
Hi Mr Farmer Tyler ranch,I hope that the animal eye is getting better. We are getting a lot of rain over here in England.Good luck, and God bless with your farming from across the pond in Great Britain
ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO TYLER 😊
❤video ❤ like always I enjoyed hanging out with you ❤ till the next time❤ looking forward to calving ❤have a great day ❤ their is always next year for the geese ❤
You have to be knowledgeable in so many areas and have to be a hard worker 365.
You know Tyler, I'll bet you could sell your welding practice pieces as souvenirs.
Now you’re talking! Tig welding…..my favorite!
Always taking good care of all that is in your care.
You can tell by how even the cows respond to you that they trust you.
Hope that tape will scare the geese 🪿 away.
It was nice getting a bit longer than a short video (yesterday) in between videos. Thanks for sharing your day.
Hope you enjoyed your dinner 🥘 Looking forward to next time.
Ouch! My eyes started tearing up while imagining what that foxtail must have felt like. 😢
Great dedication T!
Good morning Tyler. Drive a T-post in the inside of the feeder, that should keep it in place. Glad you got some moisture.
Several t-posts would be needed.
I have use one for years never had an issue, but two will work as well.@@stephaniewilson3955
That's what Jason over at Cog Hill Farm uses to keep his steer from moving the hay ring. He uses two t-post.😊
I use one so it can rotate and builds compost around it, and use it to grow Dragon Fruits in large lick bucket pots.@@jacqueline-fc8wb

When I saw the size of the foxtail, I felt so sorry for the steer I hope there aren't any more in the hay.
Great video Mr Tyler 👍🏽 😀. See ya in the next🤠🐄🐕
Looking forward to seeing some green grass in Virginia
I'm with you 100%. Hate the wind!
This was a great video lots of variety
Invest in a halter and then that could help stabilizing the steers head around so you can safely work on it.
I've seen another farmer have a collar on the cows neck and when he had to do anything around the head , he'd use the collar to tie off the head to keep it from moving to administer meds or possibly tend to their eye. The grass looks so green there. I love the rain
Damn snow geese… Tyler the taller grass only keeps them away.
Tyler, it looks like your experiment with the wood chips in the corral really did help reduce the mud in the corral. Do you plan to do more application?
An old Indian once said. "If you want to catch Salmon, you have to THINK LIKE A SALMON". I really agree you have the Goose problem down.
Really enjoying the videos, thanks for posting. Keep them coming.

What is the difference in tig welding and rod welding? Thanks for all your videos and hope your steer is feeling better!
Another great time to have lunch watching you.
Working in the wind is the pits ! Agree totally. But at least you've got hoodie weather out there.
Can you further explain TIG welding? I don’t know what the difference is. Thanks !! Geese goose Geese…fly away home
The woodchip in the corral has certainly reduced the pug. from New Zealand
Just takes practice Buddy. Got to get use to using two hands. The closer you can get the cuts the less rod you will have to use. I use to do alot of sanitary welds in the produce industry.
Great job, Tyler. I feel the same on the wind. But I hate rain too though lol it’s dreary
Be thankful for both the rain and the wind for without them we could not live.
Next year get your tags and be ready for the geese and work on the and fill your freezer. Lol

Great video man! Cali to New York! Got lots to film for ya 🤣👍🫡
Thx
I live in Middletown Ca and we here got in 3 days 7 half inches, and still raining off and on.
Ugh! 😮 stay safe friend!
Shot in the dark, but could you get a depredation permit. I know here we can go directly through USDA for a migratory bird out of season permit for EXACTLY the reasons you’ve stated. We have a huge issue with geese totally wrecking early spring planting and pastures.
Have you considered a propane scare cannon. It would require an investment up front but you will not have to worry about geese again
I’d like to see you weld up a head restraint on your squeeze chute. Look at the “Prefert” *sp. brand. Not sure how you say/spell it.
No problem here hearing you very well in the wind you must have an excellent microphone!One more thing I would like to address,think about some gizmo to put on the front of your head gate that controls the head,it is quite a big deal if you had something there,much safer for you!Great video can’t wait for next one!🐕🐖🐄🐓

Random chunks welded together equals yard art.

If my husband practiced his welding in my living room I wouldn't be happy at all.
@@cassandranealn3575 not to practice Cassandra, just to bring in his beautiful artwork and set it up where you could enjoy it and show off to all your friends !

Geese can clean up the grass quickly.
Tyler, check out the Rawhide Portable Coral made in Abilene, Ks. Great for sorting.
Good morning. I am sure you could make a carbide gun, the same as they use to scare birds from the fruit orchards in Australia. Good luck with your geese control.
Random pieces equal modern art. 😂😂😂😂
Tires around those sprinkler risers will help mitigate breakage.
I will be doing the same thing as you Tyler practicing my tig welding I never did anything like that other than the old school gas welding and it's kind of the same way except you use an arc instead of a flame tip so but easier said than done but I mainly would like to get good at it so that I could do aluminum which is really tougher than steel so anyway you are you get it figured out then tell me all the secrets and then I can use it when I go and do mine thanks Tyler or I should say doc Tyler good job on the old steer there
In a rare comment, very wholesome. I used to be a welder. Who's Rod? 😂❤
Might try adding Computer CD's to the bird tape... larger flash off those CD Disk...

wonder if one of those bird propane cannons would help you out
It’s so green and pretty.
Will you check up on that steer that had a fox tail in his eye?❤
Little wind mill will do the trick. Had the geese on my yard coming from the lake . Tried the tape work for awhile but the wind mill did the trick local feed store watch your videos all the time stay dry
Conservation light goose permits are pretty easily granted in most states
Hey, I wonder when you are going to get that tractor put back together 😊

Hi Tyler you still sound stuffy 2-22-2024, Feel better ❤. What’s a fox tail a piece of hay
A foxtail is a type of grass
Practice walking the cup with your tig, you'll be stacking dimes in no time
👍😎
could you steak down the feeders so it can’t be moved so easily
Wind is actually a blessing from God. Without the wind we would not have enough oxygen to live. Oxygen comes from the leaves of the trees. When there's no leaves on the trees the wind brings oxygen from other parts of the earth so we have enough oxygen in the air at all times. This shows the great wisdom of our creator.
can you still get carbide guns? they used to be very affective against birds raiding crops when i was a young fella.
👍👍❤🐂
There’s a reason why all the farmers around me give permission out to the goose hunters.
💖💖💖💖💖
You can always use a fake swann to keep your geese away. Or even a pie tin.
Try fireworks to scare off the birds
I have seen businesses put out plastic white swans on their property and geese will absolutely not go near them..
Snows not in season out there?
Hawk or owl statues? A border collie?
I tried my best to solve your geese situation this year with limited time, but struck out the one time I got out last season. 😢
You should think about a air cannon to scare the geese alway
A cardboard coyote works great
Wind blows.
