  • -Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
    I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
    We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.
    To God be the Glory

    Hey Bubs! You’re growing! With his mama’s smarts, daddy’s common sense, both of their work ethics and that cuteness, the boy is gonna go far! Whataface!
    The cows were trying to get in out of the wind I betcha’, bulls too. The draws are a good place to do that. Angus the cow dog’s got more energy than Public Service Company! He’s a dandy.
    Hope you guys have got better weather coming up soon. Stay safe, stay warm. Thanks for working to feed us all and taking us with you Carson.

    Your bulls are gorgeous 😍! No wonder you have so many nice calves. 👍 Speaking of beauty-Silas has a very pretty Mum. Glad the thumb nail was not as critical as I thought when I saw it 🙃. Don't mean to make light of your concerns just happy all the cattle were present and accounted for after all. That puppy could be named wiggles. I think even his toenails are wiggling. SO CUTE! Silas thanks for the smile even though you haven't been feeling well 😇. I had a great time at your ranch today. 🤠🐃🐕👶👨‍👩‍👦

    Oh my gosh!! When will the snow ever stop. In Northern Ontario they are getting another hit. They have about 3 - 4' on the ground. Our snow is all gone and we are having thunderstorms today. I am sure we will have a little snow another day. Silas is really growing. I think he is near 5 mths old. Glad you found the cows that were hiding. Hugs for Damaris . Thanks for another great video. Take care of Angus. He is full of fun.

    Nature is amazing all of them look the same. Imagine a one year old human baby having moms that were twins the baby would have no clue which one is his mom but cows 100 moms 100 identical babies yet they always find each other

      They tell each other apart by smell. That’s why he puts the carcass of dead calves onto the orphans, so the mother will accept it.

    Would giving the red cow some cake or high quality hay while in the head gate relax her more enabling the calf to nurse more calmly atmosphere ?

  • @carolwilliams8971
    @carolwilliams8971 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! I loved seeing the family. The mat that your son was on at the end is the same exact one my granddaughter Emily has! Now that i know how old he is i am having a lot of fun guessing what is next for him based on what Emily is doing now. She is about 2 months older than him. She is eating cereal (rice) now and has just started eating the baby mum mum rice teething wafers.
    God bless you and your family! I hope your weather clears up soon.

    I use O No More to graft calves. It's a powder developed in Nebraska. I used to skin calves but it seemed I was always having to head catch cow and get em sucking. Never had a cow not take it and it's a lot less work. 👍

  • @Marilyn12346
    @Marilyn12346 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Had tears well up when those cows saw the feed and went running to it🥹 Angus I imagine is chewing everything in sight, , , patience! Sweet to see Mama Damaras and Silas, suppose he’s cutting some teeth too. Thanks for another Sleep Ranch episode 🤗❤️

    Silas is growing and looking cute . So is the pup. Did y’all get to see the litter of the pups. Heelers are born pure white . Then change like Angus is. Looks as if he is going to be dark bluish color. His ears should point straight upwards soon . Let us know how he handles thunderstorms and lightning.

      @sleepranch  ปีที่แล้ว

      Every operation is very different! I think they keep there cattle in barns but if we did that our cattle would be incredibly unhealthy and unhappy. Ours are bred for harsh weather conditions, big western country and resilience to predators. To keep them in a barn would be inhumane. Like keeping a person in a tiny padded room. But what they do works best for them and what we do works best for us!

    Those used calf-hides sure don't smell too good! Calves always seem real happy to be rid of it. Been wondering if the ranchers in SD like fried wild turkey w/gravy as much as MO ranchers do? About the only thing better is a grilled steak!
