Its great to see the advancement from my early days in dairy farming; That the farmers/ranchers concerns regarding the health of the cattle, both bulls and cows, is stìll top priority. It's not hard to see why the oppspring of animal farmers have a healthy knowledge of ALL aspects of farm animals and their health & reproduction when it's kept within the normal scheme of things. I'm happy for you and Damaris to be raising a family on the farm/ranch. It truly is a much healthier environment to raise kids in and to continue to add those generations of knowledge to the world's food supply. The videosca yearbold but everything you cover is still relevant today. May the Ranch and Multi-generations of the Sleep Ranch continue to grow and be blessed by our living & loving Creator and Redeemer Almighty God the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.

Dang cow! The things those bossies get into. People haven't a clue how that steak and hamburger gets on your plate. Thank you for sharing your daily events in raising cattle!
Wow! Sure have learned a lot about what it takes to get that beef I love to my plate! Really had no idea of the work, medical, science, vaccines and I sure didn't know STDs could be a problem in animals! Very interesting!
Science has come a long way. It is wonder of how much I didn't know. We use to say. that bull was shooting blanks. No cow is back bulling. Thank you for a educational video. You and your family plus helpers have a wonderful Easter weekend. From Ontario Canada 🐰🙏
Very interesting, never realized that bulls got so much done on their reproductive tract. I hope they all test "clean" and make lots of healthy calves for your ranch!
Happy Easter! Thank you for sharing this process with us. Crazy how that mama cow got her leg stuck like that. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Happy Easter! I hope all your bulls are healthy and fertile to make many more healthy babies! And you’re going to sell the Great Houdini?! He’s probably wondering how to get out of that. If any could, it’d be Houdini. Thanks Sleep family for raising food and for sharing Carson.
In case someone did not understand that is 34 centimeters not inches or the bull would not walk very easy. Good education about the care for your livestock for non farmers but also the people that think farmers are rich because of what they pay at the store; it is good for them to see you have many expenses in a year to keep a healthy herd. So many 10 year old jokes about plumbing and things but this is not an Andrew Dice Clay show. Seems like Houdini has the other bulls under control, he must be happier having others around now. Hope you guys stay safe and healthy.
We consumers of steak, as well as other beef products, have no idea what goes into producing our favorite main course. This is fascinating. A question I have here is ... How often do you have steak for dinner? Or other beef products?
Hope you Carson had a good Easter weekend. We ended up getting 3 inches of wet snow and you know what they say if you get precip on Easter Sunday you get precip the next 6 Sundays after and it's pretty much trueas I have been following that wise tell when my GPA told me.
Hi Carson, watching your video reminded me we better get our bulls done. How many bulls do you run? When you started to put the bulls together up in the hillls there was a bull to your right, he looked a good sort. Unfortunately the camera did not allow me a good look. The scrotal size we like to see 36 to 40 for a good working age bull. We don't like to buy bulls less than 34, does though depend on their age. I hope there is part 2 to this video. Have a great Easter, when I wrote this we were only a couple of hours until the grandkids get their Easter eggs, then they will be a couple of days high on chocolate. 🍫🍫 . From Down Under
Do you ever keep some of new crop bull calves as bulls or do you castrate all bull calves ? Do you trade yearling or two year old bulls with any neighbors to bring in different genetics? Where do you get your bulls from ?
Great questions Paul, we don’t keep any of our Bull calves but we are flirting with the idea of buying some registered Simmental or Angus cows and then raising bulls for ourselves. We get our bulls from a variety of different places, a few more known places are the Thomas’s in Oneida, SD, Jorgensen land and Cattle and Amdahl Angus
The most common way we would get and STD in our herd would be if an infected cow or Bull from a neighbors herd got in with ours when the cows are out on summer pasture. Or if we bought cows that were carriers of the disease!
@@sleepranch, Thank you for replying, this is Interesting, can you vaccinate against some of these STDs, and what are they, a herpes virus, spirochetes or bacterial infection? I find animal medicine fascinating.
Brrrrrr…… just seeing and hearing how cold you are out in the cold wind….Makes me want to throw another blanket in and more pellets in the pellet stove…. Have a great day.. Try to stay warm….
The clap is syphilis, after you have it untreated for years you need to clap hard and push to have a bowel movement. The clap is the old prison term for it prior to having treatment to stop venereal diseases. It is not all STDs.
“The Clap” is not syphilis, it’s gonorrhea. You had to clap down hard on the penis to break up and expel the pus in the urethra so that you could urinate.

I really like the fact you show all the aspects of ranching, another good video.
Thanks Ellis!

Never realized that Bulls were tested so extensively for reproduction, very interesting. Have a great Easter weekend as well.
Thanks Ben!
Very interesting, never realized that bulls got so much done on their reproductive tract. I hope they all test "clean" and make lots of healthy calves for your ranch!
Thank you Kenni!
Very interesting video. Learned a lot about this process. I've heard of trich but didn't know the process of testing and fertility.
Thank you Stan!
Yes in deed, a real good video... thanks...
Thanks Jack!
Great camera work Dad.

Thanks Badger! 34 inches would be quite impressive haha that is very true though! I hope you had a great Easter!
Interesting, well done thanks. Work through.
Thank you Tudd!
As a nurse my first thought is why aren't they wearing gloves?
Very informative video! Happy Easter to you and your lovely family!
Thank you Deb, happy Easter you you and yours as well!
Happy Easter. Glad the cow didn’t have a leg injury. Like all livestock if they can find a place to get injured it will happen
That’s true David, thank you and Happy Easter!

Definitely learned about bulls n process of testing thanks
Thanks for watching!
# rusty load… lol great video, keep it up!
Thanks Bryan!

Hope you had a great Easter too Robert, I’m glad you guys got some moisture! I hope that that old saying is true!

Thanks CSR, we have about 20 bulls! I hope you had a great Easter and that you enjoyed your time with the grandkids!
Enjoyed the video. Does your vet palpate the bull? And does he use dye on the sample to help with the morphology analysis?
Great video
Thanks Ezra!

Interesting lol ...Happy Easter
Thanks! Happy Easter!
When I had my bulls semen tested and std tested I always had to give them a cigarette afterwards. Lololo
😂😂that’s great!
I’m new here where is your ranch
Welcome Barb! We are located in the northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/Wyoming border
Thanks!
I’m in Florida love ranching videos. I don’t know why, I’m 80 :)
How do the bulls get STDs? Do the cows /heifers contribute to this?
The most common way we would get and STD in our herd would be if an infected cow or Bull from a neighbors herd got in with ours when the cows are out on summer pasture. Or if we bought cows that were carriers of the disease!
@@sleepranch, Thank you for replying, this is Interesting, can you vaccinate against some of these STDs, and what are they, a herpes virus, spirochetes or bacterial infection? I find animal medicine fascinating.
Interesting.👍❤️🇨🇦
What are the blue blocks that you are putting out?
They are actually Blocks of Salt that the cattle lick on!
We’ll put our white plain salt or red TM salt but hadn’t seen the blue ones.
Where are you located im from kimball sd
Awesome! We’re west of Spearfish on the Wyoming border
How many bulls do you have
About 20!
Is this your old homestead
Yep it is! I’ll have to do a tour
Brrrrrr…… just seeing and hearing how cold you are out in the cold wind….Makes me want to throw another blanket in and more pellets in the pellet stove…. Have a great day.. Try to stay warm….
I bet that was nice! Thanks Deb, I hope you had a great Easter!
Why not call it " The Clap" That is what we use to call STD
