How to Sort Young Calves off Cows - the Easy Way

Learn a beginner-friendly method of sorting calves off cows. We demonstrate the process and then illustrate mistakes (and fixes) that will help you the first time you try. We use footage of ourselves sorting our Registered South Poll Cattle with voice-over commentary by Stockman JR Jones explaining the process. He also talks you through step-by-step what he is thinking as he uses Effective Stockmanship to pull out two cows and a bull from the group of sorted calves.
This is the 2nd episode of our new series, Hoof & Hide LLC's Herd Hints. In this series, we will be answering questions people send us and sharing tips and tricks we have learned and use on our ranch. We will be covering such topics including: grass-fed cattle; intensive rotational grazing; effective stockmanship; and insider tips on South Poll cattle.

It's really nice to see calves moved smoothly and smartly, without all the jumping around and causing panic and doing things the hard way. Much less stress on everyone, nice job.

Done something similar hanging a panel across a gate at the end of our chute. Calves can walk under and cows go out the chute. Made life a lot easier since we done this!

Sounds like a great idea! Would love to see a video of it if you care to share.
