- In this video we run down to the winter pasture and check on the cows. Because of the drought, I am trying to decide if I need to reduce numbers or if I can somehow make it with what we have. After that it’s time to move this years bottle calf back to the herd and see if he can fit in!

He is precious. He would make a grand pet. Don't give up
That little blind calf is so sweet! I would keep him as a pet. His sweetness would save his life!❤
Your compassion for all of your animals is amazing, it is so genuine! Each and every animal you have and have had has had a wonderful life in your care.
Oh my gosh he's so lovely has a gorgeous little face .
You've really looked after him . And callie loves him
Are there any animal rescue sanctuarys in your area? Perhaps they would take him in and give him a forever home. He is just so adorable and I think a lot of us viewers have fallen in love with him. Thank you for taking extra special care of him ❤
Farmer Tyler....The bottle calf is so beautiful and gentle. I pray the Vet has something to help him. Human beings get along well if they're blind. I'm making a huge bet he will too ! Please don't make him leave....Sincerely, Nancy 😭
Your such a compassionate farmer.God Bless you and your precious family.
When you were talking about the calf laying down your dog came behind you and was carrying a very large stick that was cute
I know I seen that
yep I seen that also that's cute he was ready to play throw the stick Daddy😊😅
I saw that!! Too cute!!
Some stick she had was cute
Your critical, compassionate approach to challenges is wonderful.
I love the shot of your doggie in the background dragging that huge branch.
Your great to hang in there for this little guy.
Tyler, so far a miracle has happened! The little calf is still alive. And looking back to the first day of its life the possibility of him just living was questionable.
The calf is growing, it’s breathing is much better, it holds its head up and you can tell that it hears. It can stand and walk, all things it could not originally do.
It’s eating and growing and seems to be enjoying life.
Your time, patience, love and prayers have made all that possible. Please don’t give up on him. I would like to suggest that we start a bottle calf fund so your compassionate, caring viewers can donate for its care. Medication, vet bills etc.
A final note, Callie was adorable in the background pulling that large branch around. She is so cute.
Thanks again for another great video.
Prayers from Indiana for everyone on the farm.
When your pup drags the tree in at 11:50 was funny.
That is great that you are taking all the time you have to take care of that lil calf ! Loved watching your dog love ❤️ on the calf !
Gosh I hope the vet had something good to say. I'm rooting for this calf.... Please don't make us wait too long FT!!!
It’s so sweet to watch the adults greeting the little one. ❤️🐄❤️ TFS
Good morning to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too. Great job as always with the cute calves,awe your dog loves and care for the calf. So amazing and thanks for sharing. Everyone have a great and bless day. 😄😄
He sure is healthy! You’ve taken great care of the him( calf..)😊
This episode has me in more suspense than the movie Jaws did in 1976.
Glad your back, you have some beautiful calves. Look forward to what the vet has to say, Cali sure likes him!!
Cliffhanger! I enjoyed the camera angles today, especially the little guy in the trailer.
I look forward to your next update on the little guy! He's adorable as ever but that only goes so far on the farm. You have gone above and beyond in your care for him and he seems to be a survivor!! I hope the vet is able to give you some direction as to his future!!! Stay safe! Best wishes from Kentucky!
Cali sure is comforting to that calf. I am glad he is doing ok in the corral other than his vision. Look forward to hearing what the vet says.
It's nice to see you take so much time with the calf
That's a mighty big stick your dog is carrying!
So elated to see that you stuck with him . He is adorable !!! Bless your heart for giving him a chance. He's an old soul and very gentle. It was also beautiful to see him communicating with another calf and how welcoming they were. Y ou've come this far with him and the healing process .This is what hope is. There's a space in his heart for love , like other calves but his way , and I can tell he is loving life even through some adversity. Sending Blessings 💕🐄🙋♀️
You got to love Tyler. He is the best farmer we can wish for.
Great to see you back with more videos. I sure hope this little calf makes it. It would be sad to think he’ll be blind forever. I’ll pray for him.
Good to see your first post after going full time ! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hope little calf can make it through!!
Enjoy your family vacation. Looking forward to more content.
Congratulations. I love watching.
He’s still alive! He’s a Blessing from God! Angels have been really watching over this little Guy! Standing on his own! Mama! Calling! Callie love the Calve! Someone is going to adopt this little guy! I’m thinking 🤔 that this guy may have a little sight! His Hearing is taking more responsibility for the little calve! Thank-you for all your love and care!
Hang in there, Tyler !!
You’ve devoted more time and effort to that calf than many stockmen would, and I applaud you for that. You’re going to have some tough decisions, and no matter what way it goes, I know you’ve done your best. It will be interesting to hear what happens with the vet visit.
Thank you I appreciate that!

Pup in the background got to me. Makes me miss my bloodhound so much. She was a goofball that found all the weird stuff to play with and never ran off regardless of her instincts. Fuck cancer. She was 6 and got riddled with it. Hardest thing I've had to do was put her down.
Said that story before in these comments. You've got a tough job working with animals
Look at dog in the back with the 10ft branch….. how awesome 😉😭
You're doing a great job with the little calf and I admire how much of a chance you have been giving him. I wish I lived near you so that I would have been able to help you. We all respect whatever decision you make, one way or the other
Thank you Amanda
Your husbandry skills are amazing
Keeping fingers crossed for the little calf! Tough decision indeed. 🙁
I’ve been anxiously waiting for an update on the the little guy🥰 Hope everything turns out for the best.
YOU ARE ONE PATIENT MAN. YOUR KIDS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE A DAD LIKE YOU, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY BECOME TEENAGERS. YOU ARE A MAN OF SECOND CHANCES. KUDOS TO YOU! SO THANKFUL FOR YOUR PATIENCE INDEED. WHATEVER DECISIONS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE. A MAN OF INTEGRITY!
Will be an interesting diagnosis. Look forward to hearing the details. Will be a major decision, for you, depending upon that diagnosis. Hope you and your family are having a great time on your family vacation.
The baby calf is still living he's alive ? wow he's a strong little guy I'm hoping for the best,😁👍🏼💕 @ 4:04 that baby calf is adorable🤗
poor baby calf, I can't wait to see what the vet says, I know it could go either way but at least your trying. Thank you for still holding on and giving the calf hope Mr.Tyler I appreciate it.
You are an awesome farmer/rancher, if there wasn't any other proof the simple fact that you haven't given up on that calf yet would be enough for me. You probably already have turned it off, but just in case, don't forget to turn off that heat lamp in the livestock trailer, LOL.
Incredible how much work you've put into this calf. My hat's off to you. I hope y'all had a great time on your vacation
Nice to see you care so much about your animals
Hope you have a great time off with your family.
Ohh, a cliff hanger. He’s such a sweet calf, I hope he gains some sight.
👁 👁.
Hope you had a great time with family and friends while you were away.
Looking forward to hear what happened at the vet. It’s a good idea to go to the vet.
Has your family harvested the walnuts yet? Yesterday I came across the video by Mrs. FTR from a couple years ago at walnut harvest. I enjoyed it.
That Calf’s eyelashes r so cute!
Glad the calf is doing well. We just got done dealing with a first time heifer having swollen teats making nursing for the calf difficult. Congrats on ranching full time man, definitely wish I could be doing it all the time.
You have a lot of cows and calefs you have good videos
and he is such a beautiful little calf.
Calli has made friends with your bottle calf. She also was wanting you to throw that limb for her.
New calf in pasture is so cute.
Are you missing the drive to work?
Hope you get much needed rain.
Have a great afternoon and evening.
Saw you on hidden heights and keeping it Dutch videos at Redmond expo!! Got really excited because you 3 are some of my FAVORITE channels to follow❤️❤️
Thanks Deb it was a fun trip. My video will be up soon!
👍 It has never been so, that somehow it was not. What will be, it will be. God Bless.
💪💪💪❤️😄 hope he makes it !
Good update. Hope the Vet has some magic in there medicine bag.
What a nice greeting party for the little blind calf. I guess Callie was dragging that huge stick around thinking it was supposed to be the drum roll stick😆. Last Monday we got 30 rain drops and again today it looks like we might get 40 drops…doesn’t to much to make the grass grow. You are so lucky to have a pump to irrigate. The ACID (Anderson, Cottonwood Irrigation District) has sent out letters stating that there will be NO water available this year, first time this has ever happened. Good luck with the vet appointment, will be waiting for the results. Thanks for a great video with terrific camera angels.
Thanks 😊
Poor thing. I hope and pray he gets better.
Hey Tyler, we sure missed you last week! if the price for beef is high go for it.
Thank you for sharing your tries with the blind calf, what else can be done Tyler? I'll wait to hear what the Vet says
Nice to see you back
Just hope and pray the baby gets well and be a healthy animal.
Hi I like your videos
You're giving him the best possible chance, Tyler. It's all you can do. Hoping for the best!
good video I know you will do the right thing
Love
Hoping for the best Tyler 🤞🙏
Tyler please post more often lov yur videos.ty
Doing a great job appreciate the honesty hopefully it will work out
Fingers crossed for the calf Tyler
New name for the show Full Time Farmer Tyler Ranch!!
I wish you all the luck in the world but it is what it is good luck can’t wait to see the next video about him
Hello think I would do things a little different with that calf but my time and your time are different so it goes on to your schedule. Have a great day and hopefully you're successful with him
it was in the Redmond mine
I hope you guys get rain soon you got some pretty calves and the drought looks hard on you guys I hope you guys can still bale hay but the darn drought is killing grass and different stuff thanks for sharing the video
I had a calf with bad vision that improved over several months. Feed him out and put him in the freezer. Keep posted about calf progress.
Hey Tyler I used to haul cattle years ago and I hold the blind steer there that was penned with another steer or half of what it was and that thing followed that heifer around always had his chin on her rump and when I got down to Augusta she got off the trailer before him and I had to go down into the trailer and bring him out With my hand on his chin under his chunder his chin so with saying that I wouldn't give up hope that was a nice looking steer that was blind
Thanks Tyler 6-9-2022👍🏽👍🏽
Well that was quite a cliffhanger! I can’t imagine how difficult these decisions must be for you.
don't give up on the little guy
I have a blind cow and she doing really good she got a new baby girl calve on the side I have her and her baby in a pan by herself
thx
I have had blind calves before. They will do just find if kept in the same place. Once they learn where everything is. They were around 1300# when we butchered them.
Had several blind cows threw the years they pretty much settle in and follow the herd pastor are all turning green can't wait even tho will be calving in in about 3 weeks got 2 hare sheep left to go got ram in with my other ladies we have had 15 Inch of rain past 3 weeks not been fun
Hey Tyler, big fan here! I was wondering if you could do a video of how you have your rotational grazing setup. I know you did a video before just wondering if you still do it.
Introduce the young calf to Buddy. Maybe Buddy will help him learn a thing or two.
Can we keep him Dad? Can we?! PLEASE ???!!! Listen, we KNOW the ins n’ out of ranching just from watching your videos if not from our own experiences… so, we get all sentimental and fall in love with these guys… even the ones that are bigger and follow you around… I myself, never realised how much personality cows do have… sorry, we fall in love with them…OH! I was thinking, maybe as a distraction ? When you go to check a baby with a protective mom? Maybe a bucket with a bit of something tasty in it like sweet mix? Or some other kind of grain? May be a trade off for enough time to take care of or check the calf… jus’ sayin’… respectfully, Sue☮️♥️⭐️🙋♀️‼️
I can't believe a 31 acre ranch, that your grandma owns, you can make a good living on? I hope you can. You have a talent with your welding, I think you should do design work. I like the effort. Your parents have a working orchard so your future is bright.
The calf is a concern and you are doing what you can. Have you had a conversation with your vet? Have you looked into a couple of sanctuary places if it looks like life on the farm is not in his future? I know you are doing your best and it is very hard making the decisions you have to make.
I be taking 50 old cows didnt get breed on Thursday morning they had calves last year I be taking them to the sale barn Wednesday morning 50 calves that’s why I keep 500 heifers back and they have bulls on them right now
Can he learn to adapt? Maybe he needs time to let his other senses kick in and to become part of the herd. Perhaps in the cow world, not being able to see well has negative implications that i do not know about. Well, u r certainly doing what u can and i appreciate that u r connecting with the vet. Thank u for the update.
Can you ask a vet about the eye problem to see what they may think it is? Loved your dog and the humongous stick lol
There is a TH-cam channel called Rae's Ranch and Rescue. She just bought an emu baby that's blind in one eye. Maybe she would be interested in taking the calf? She's with Adler Farms family
First, I know I am late to this party. Second, you gave this baby the best chance he could have had. Lastly, he is freaking cute!
I do have a question, how much does he weigh in this video?
Sounds silly but I would like to share my experience. I raised meat goats for 7 years and had kids several time gone through pink eyes and developed while spot in the eye. Tried vet recommended advices and seemed didn’t work well as expected. Then I started with 5 drops of organic apple cider vinegar mixed in a coffee cup of clean water and applied 8 to 10 drops once a day. I noticed the white spot gone completely in five days and vision was back. I am not a vet, sorry just couldn’t wait to share my success. As I said , it worked well for goats. No idea on calves.
Hey there Tyler, I hope you're all well and good!
The calf certainly looks better, but he doesn't really act any better, so whatever you decide, I'm confident it will be in his best interest.
Apparently you don't pregnancy check your cows, which is unquestionably money well spent, and should become a part of your annual routine. Had you done this last fall, you wouldn't have 8-9 months worth of feed invested in an open cow (s) which is a losing proposition.
I hope y'all have a good one, and I'm anxious to see what the Vet says, but I'm afraid it's not going to be what you want to hear. 🐂 👍 🇺🇸
Do not sell your heifers, that could possibly be bred. Alot of bred cows are going to auction because they ran out of feed. There is going to be a shortage of mamma cows and beef for the next 4 to 5 years.
If you can find a cow that might adopt him. You may try belling a heifer. To be a audible clue. To where the feed bunk and other cattle are
