- 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.

I do not know about the neighbor that tagged your heifer but there are always people that work harder to be deceitful than if they worked honest. When I was young one of our neighbors was caught stealing cattle and went to prison for it. Little man looks to be growing fast, cute smile. I hope Damaris is doing well. Stay safe and healthy.
Nice looking heifers Carson
Winston seems like a good cattle horse....
Thanks for the morning acknowledgment of God is good and the blessings he gives.....
Great video Carson
Oi ❤️👍👍
Nice looking calves Carson
Back in 1973 there was a beef shortage or so they claimed, we caught rustlers a few times ! They even backed a semi up to our loading chute at 2 am! Truck radiator got shot up! Nowadays here in Arizona several have been caught stealing cattle! Stealing someone’s branded animal is strictly dealt with!
Amen to that
Thanks for sharing interesting how the blind calf follows others is it by smell or noise
❤🎉😊 I just love seeing little precious Silas, he is beyond adorable. You are all such a beautiful family to watch, and now with another on the way. I know God is smiling upon you all. We love seeing your nice big herd, and are so appreciative of all your hard work. Please know that you bless us all with your videos. Thank you. 😊❤️⭐🥰😍
two teethies and preggers Mom! Way to go!!!
Thanks for another peek into your lives....
Another great roundup finished
I'm always impressed that you get all your cows back from your summer pastures, considering the vast area that you graze them in!! Great video! God Bless!!
Beautiful day to work looks like. God bless
Thanks Carson!😊
Silas has the cutest smile😊😊
Fantastic 😊😊😊
Great video! Silas is just adorable. He certainly knows his daddy. He gives you the the biggest smiles. You live I. God’s beautiful country.
As always thanks for the video. That smile from Silas when he saw you, was just great! So glad that Damaris is doing well. God Bless you all.
Thanks for sharing another day on the ranch

Thank You Thank You. For taking the time to visit with use when working the cattle. 👍👍👍
Good morning. 😊
Glad to see the blind ones doing good. I’ve been wondering about him
Winston looks like he is doing really well. Crazy mix up with the heifer and the tag. It all worked out though. Good to see Damaris is doing well as well as cute Silas
Great looking calves. Have a great week.
Heifers everywhere! How is the temperature ? We are at freezing at time of writing. Some freezing rain earlier this morning. Scenery is still beautiful. I Love the sky. Silas and Darmaris are beautiful . Lucky you. Hugs for both.
I do enjoy watching you work your cattle ❣️ Silas has the cutest smile 😊 nice to see Demaris looking so beautiful ! Looks like this pregnancy is agreeing with her. ❤
Well, that went pretty easy for a change!
I’m glad you found them all. Nice to see your family again.👍❤️🇨🇦
So happy for you on number 2 child. Congratulations!
Cattle look good.i enjoyed the video.
Enjoyed watching the video guy's 😊
Haha Angus really wanted to help!
Good luck rounding up your heifers
It looks like you’re leaving the grass in good shape. Good stewardship.
Great to see all the heifer’s looking good . Plus the ones heading to the feed lot are fat and sassy after the summer in the high country.
How is Trump doing? Was wondering where Angus was and then he showed up at the loading pens. That young-an is looking good and growing. How far along is the wife. Have a blessed weekend Carson.
I really enjoy all of your videos. Thank you for taking us along.
Haw old are the heifer s?
Verry nice loking...
Love to watch the cattle being moved to a winter pasture. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Carson, must feel good to have the calves sorted off. It is hard to believe that is just a few short months you will be starting the calving season all over again. Hope everything goes smoothly with you expecting baby # 2 during your busy season.
Hi Carson, lovely to see your smiley pregnant wife and your son Silas,who def knows who his Daddy is LOL. What a blessing they are to you and the family at large. Def a day to Thank God for His abundant generosity towards us who love Him and know Him as Lord and Saviour. Great few days to sort the cows and calves. As you said ,its a natural process for all milk -fed offspring . Even humans have to wean the babies eventually off Mum or bottle. They're good strong healthy animals you've fetched back to winter pastures. So grateful for you sharing your vids on ranch life , brings back so many happy memories of my early years, as it will do for your li'l ones eventually. It's great that Demaris is willing and able to still be a part of ranch life, now those unpleasant early weeks are past. May the blessings continue as you serve Him faithfully and share His love to the lost in this fallen world. From an Auski Nan, with much love and prayers for y'all 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👍👌✌️👏🇺🇸 GIDDY UP 🐎🐴🐂
Good to see you and your son and wife. Glad all are doing well. When is the new baby due and is it a boy or girl? I don't remember. Take care. Much love to you all
Where is the guy that was helping you on the ranch? Jak I think his name was?
He was in this video.
Thanks
them calves do good as long as you don't change their environment with the others those are the ones we butchered for our self they smell and feel the other calves and get around good
What will you do with the blind calf? How & when did you realize it was blind?
Congratulations on your next child.
Yes, God is good.
What do those calves weigh at weaning? They look huge
PS, do you guys ever ride watch over the herd at night any more??
Probably had some Rockies helping with the branding. Just never seen your brand.
You’ll know you have a cow cross the highway she’s trapped over there. I seen her on 90 going over to Wyoming tonight. 11(13) She was looking for the other cows
What did you do with the calf that the neighbor claimed
What do you think caused the calf to be blind in both eyes?
Several years ago brand inspectors in South Dakota called and I had a cow and a calf the southeast area of Ellsworth Air Force Base this guy got scared and let the brand inspectors know that we had we got our cow n calf back just tell me that my family used to run livestock@ Cement Ridge and I think several times because the cattle in the area I was told that they would go down to your probably your grandfather's their West Spearfish to get cattle the wouldn't stay with the rest of cattle in same pasture around Cement Ridge n Tinton Mine
Hope Trump is doing better bud and know you guys are glad to get them girls home! God Bless!
What will happen to the blind calf?
do you lutalyse the heifers when you wean them ?
Addressing weaning the way you did... very smart! Acknowledge it, comment briefly with logic & move on. 👍 Your family check-ins each video are pretty sweet. Silas is growing like a weed.
Ypu have traned the pup well
How many cow and heifers do you calve out a year
If you miss tag 327 from the replacement heifer lot, you will know where she is. :)
Now the crying starts….weaning the babies……but they aren’t babies anymore….. Oh well it only lasts for a few days…. Those moms weren’t milking much anyway. ❤❤
Cowboys in a saddle. It is still real
Awesome video ..why don't you ride the horse and flag and load the trailer that way ???? Oh well your getting your exercise but that's Best thing for a young or a new horse is work work work and saves you all the extra steps..
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
❤️🙋♂️👍
when you sell a branded cow or heifer how does someone add them to their herd and prove that they own them.
The one that blind take him to the house and feed him out
handling cows is not done with a wand
What ever happened to right and wrong? I guess maybe things should go back to the ways in the 1800's. Rustlers were hung and left there hanging as an example. Worked for them and so maybe needs to be looked at again. If somebody went after our horses a warning shot will be heard. A friend with milking cows once fired a warning shot over the heads of deer hunters and Jane could have nailed them quite easily with that 30-06. She was mad as heck.
Nice heifers. You should look at cattle visions when you select your semen for this years breeding season. check out the bull named WF Eldon CED of 20 Top 1%. I know the owner. You have a good operation.
What year was it you had that nasty blizzard in September that killed all the cattle?
How is Trump doing, i noticed you were not rideing him?
😅😅😅g😅😮
