    Thanks for keeping Number 13 and her calf. Sounds like a great solution (especially since you explained the different feed types for the animal in the different stages of life!) We love a happy ending and look forward to updates, even if it's just to say they're doing well! 💜🌞🌵😷

    Farmer Tyler,
    Love how you talk to your cows.
    If i was a cow, i would want to live on your ranch. Tossing down hay brings back many memories of tosding down hay and straw from the hay mow . Take care Mr., Mrs. And Baby FTR.

    Good job successfully weaning the calves. Brings back memories when I was younger growing up on the farm. Your explanations for each process helps those that have never experienced the challenges of this process or those who don't understand why it's done. You have a good looking set of calves to fatten up for market.

    You're the best separator of cattle I've ever seen.....I can herd them all...lucky for me it's a small herd...everyone is just going thru the squeeze chute to be separated there for loading...even if we have to back the truck up...in and out...it's still a brute force method of mechanical separation.

      The bars are there so they can’t jump through and they are at an angle because it discourages them from pulling hay out on the ground. The angle I use is 30 degrees, seems to work!

    Once the calves are weaned off their mommas, is there any risk of these bred back cows becoming too fat on a strictly hay/pasture diet that would make the calves they’re carrying too big and potentially create calving problems in the spring?

    Hi from Namibia. We have a device here called a "neusring", directly translates to nose-ring that fits to the nose of the calf to be weaned. As the calf tries to suckle, the spikes on the nose-ring irritate the soft under parts of the cow and she moves away. This discourages the calf from suckling, but the cow is still there, her comforting presence reducing the weaning stress on both the calf and the mother. Hit me up buddy.
