My brother used to have a herd of cattle including four bulls. He had explained to me the pecking order thing but I had never seen it in action. One day I was at the farm and all four bulls were lounging in a corral when my brother was opening a gate to let them out to pasture. The boss bull was a MASSIVE Hereford bull with huge down-curved horns; he was at the peak of his strength and power. When my brother opened the gate all four bulls knew what that meant and began moving toward the gate. One of the younger bulls was nearest the gate and began walking through. Suddenly, he remembered his place in the pecking order, slammed on the brakes, backed up, and stood deferentially with his head lowered to allow the big Hereford bull to pass, and then he followed at a respectful distance.
Nature is Amazing.
And we still hold on to the belief that animals aren't intelligent. I believe they are more intelligent that we think.
@@esmeraldagreen1992 they are intelligent. they just think differently than us. we had a special evolution in the brain that was a blessing and a curse. we can think things out that arent even in front of us or we havent experienced ourselves. we can plan things out days years in advance. but a curse comes with that too. animals get over loss rather quickly where a human will mourn the loss of their child for the rest of their lives etc. pretty amazing.
@@esmeraldagreen1992 Im not sure who told you this but it's obviously not true. Humans who say that are just intentionally being ignorant,or just ignorant
@@65stang98 That isn't evolution. That's intelligent design.
I am blown away how you moved this herd. You didn't even corral them from behind, they followed you!! They yapping and strolling along BEHIND YOU in and out barns ,in 1 gate out another and just happy and healthy. I am amazed !! I am not a farmer or even vet just a nurse, but I can see the trust they have for you. I love seeing farmers taking a personal caring touch while respecting the animal and thankful for the nurishment they provide for us.
Le plus triste dans l affaire est que plus grande est l affection des bovins Enver l homme plus grande est la trahison Enver ces bêtes pour les tuer dans des abbatoirs infames
Man, this guy's gonna help a ton of people understand what farm life's like. Still utterly fascinating to see how you approach cattle ranching, looking forward to see more.
One could say... udderly
@@annakuch9108 cow pun
It's captivating.
Thanks for sharing your livestock dynamics. I truly enjoy animal husbandry and your gift for behavior sience
I've never seen or heard a man having a lengthy conversation before. I love the fact that he is so comfortable with you, and that the heard came a runnin' when you called. Titus, what a character!
The end is so cute with you consoling him. It is like him saying, “but dad it is just not fair”
He needs his boo boo taken care of and some treats from dad, lol😥
But dad plans to eat you soon 😂
Give him some cows
@@william7427He had and will have again in the breeding season as told in vid
Omg I love Ordon! I love how he was telling you all about his hurt feelings 😂 I also want to say I appreciate how you watched over them while establishing their new pecking order . I do the same with all of my animals (feathered, equine, bovine etc .) gorgeous bulls!
Who cares if she missed the part about him leaving for a couple hours.!!! Wth? Are you perfect? Ever think that maybe she had to do something and missed that part.?
When you get time give me a call thanks I love you
Lslkkem!mxllf
U can tell that’s his favorite and wanted to cry 😢 but held it together
with a red lump over hishead lmao
It's amazing to see how affectionate those bulls are toward you! They come up to you in a passive, almost submissive way that I didn't know bulls were capable of. Thanks for teaching us all of this stuff, Pete.
animals are not dumb they have social abilities like humans. they do it just like us a peaking order with one boss.
Bulls try to pass gates but dont manage to do it and when they see him opening it and passing it they are like " wow he must be super strong and dangerous" and they start respecting him. Animals have a good sense of hierarchy
There is a peaking order all the way from the cows down to the calves. There are usually three groups, cows, bulls and the calves. Just as a sidenote, cows are technically over bulls.
As for them respecting a human, it is the social interaction that they respect, and they learn the person or persons they respect also help them. It takes quite a while to be respected by a herd, but if you get the respect of the head cow, they will follow you anywhere.
Seeing Ordin crying out at the end made my heart break. There's always next year, man!
Nobody likes a BRONZE
Man was bawling 😭
When he wins they need to shout RKO RKO RKO

It is a pleasure to see people like yourself being so dedicated and enthusiastic about what you do.
Loved the part where you had a small talk with Titus. A lot of people call us crazy, but only we and our animals know.
Bro your pfp 💀
I absolutely love how natural and stress free your cattles are. I think you are very good at what you do and your animal welfare is spectacular.
Jmmlmmmmmmm

@@vernonfrance2974 establishing dominance and fighting for mating rights are quite natural boi. there is no democrazy in animal world
took the words out of my mouth.

I found this whole episode (like I do with most of them!) so profoundly peaceful and natural. Your attitude and wisdom comes through brilliantly. You do the American small farmer such justice! I admire you sir!
I’m vegan myself but if every each cattle can live like this, until the one bad day, you can eat meat. They live in a good environment, huge fields, free roaming, eating real grass under the real sun, good for both animals and the environment.
A vegan I finally agree with 😂😂
@@user-he8xb5od8lI second that!
This is how meat should be raised, so much healthier for the animals and in turn, humans. We have to get away from the factory farms. They do have excellent slaughter facilities though that are very humane. Well, most. Raising animals how they were meant to live is better for ALL involved. Plus done right it can help with the environment.
The cows will only go inside in the winter because they all way about a ton and would damage the fields
I’m a vegan as well and I approve this message!!
Love it !! Thank you for sharing, you and your animals are so so sweet. Love the way you talk to them and they love you back. Ordin OMG crying and upset and you consoling him is amazing and beautiful, only animals lovers can understand that!!
Brings back memories. Growing up, my dad separated all the bulls in one pasture. Sometimes, it was the one near our house. I always liked watching the bulls.
Hello 👋 Sarah. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I am Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem to a real country girl
I just found this video and let me tell you, I am hooked! This was amazing. To watch Titus accept affection from a human and then watch his strength and power just reaffirms that these guys are gentle giants when treated with care and respect.
Now off I go to binge watch the rest of your videos.
Never thought I'd say a bull beast is cute, but Titus chattering to you as you walked, that is real cute.
Man, he was really upset. He will be ok in a few hours. Thanks Pete for sharing your videos. I really enjoy watching from South Texas.
No, he won't be ok. That's why they put so much into the fight, it really matters. Way more than any interview or date will matter to you.
Ordains last call back tells Titan your day is coming. Thanks for sharing, Iowa is watching
Incredibly cool to see the social structure of a group of animals so clearly as this. Love how in tune you are with your herd. Thanks for the videos Pete!
So interesting to see the pecking order of cattle. Thank you for very patiently explaining to us city folks. You are living in paradise with nature, family and animals. "Come on Cattle " should be put on a t-shirt.
Hello 👋 Nancy. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I am Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem to a real country girl
Poor Ordon was like "I can't believe you put me through this, again... I'm so mad at you"
Great video, as always
@@vernonfrance2974 actually, there is need for it, it's called pecking order. Pete expended it well in the video. With any animals at the farm you will experience this, even more so during breeding season.
@@vernonfrance2974 They don't have any way to injure each other.
your relationship with the cattle is amazing. nice to see how much they trust you.
Poor Orden. I wish his luck could change so he doesn’t have to weep. It almost seemed as if he was kicking himself in the butt for what happened. That’s awesome, you patting him and showing him companionship regardless. That moved me. It was a very dramatic scene, but I’m glad he got it out of system. Good luck next year Orden! 😎😁😍
OMGosh I laughed so hard at Ordon’s grumbling, poor guy. I really enjoy how you interact with your cattle.
Hi Pete. The pastures look good. The cattle look really healthy. Thank you for the " battle of the bulls" video.
My Dad told me a story about my Grandfather and how he was critiqued by the community for sitting and just watching his cattle graise the field. But now I hear Pete says how mentally relaxing this exercise is. My Grandfather suffered extreme financial stress during the depression and so this exercise probably really helped him. Yet in the community he was thought of as lazy for just sitting and watching his herd of cattle graze. But my Great Grand father was thought to be lazy as he drove the team of horses around the community delivering Christian tracts.and encouraging everyone to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour and be saved. Amazing as God viewed both men with the highest respect for their lazy appearances to worldly man.
Keeping it real!
I love how the cows are so sweet,tame,happy and calm
And that they allow u to pet them
You are such a wonderful bovine parent! Thank you for being so patient with the little ones and being so supportive to everybody. Lovely farm too! Thanks for the pasture lessons : )
That was a great explanation and demonstration of how animals work it out. I felt real bad for the big guy there. He has a lot of heart. So do you.
That's how humans work it out too but in today's world... 🤷
@@vernonfrance2974 except it is... Go read actual history instead of your bubbled SJW History. I guess we never needed to do anything about Hitler and his regime. He would of just said "oh let everyone live in peace"...lol you really got me there. 😂
It took rightous men to tear down that savage regime and restore order. Fight for dominance is part of life.
@@vernonfrance2974 cool story bro. You going to go into the ghettos and tell criminals to do peace and love? Compromise? They fight over turff all the time. Let me know when you've achieved that, I'll consider your approach that living things don't need to work it out this way.
I'm being serious. It's one thing to talk about it. Let me know when you have acheived it. We can have that convo then.
@@masterxiong7368 you sound slow
Comparing cows too criminals someone’s hurt and triggered why so ?
I’ve always found animal behavior fascinating. This was a very enjoyable video! I appreciate the relationship you have with your animals. Ordin bellowing his frustration and disappointment to you was so touching.
Thank you, that was fascinating for a city girl. You’re such a compassionate owner, I loved watching your interaction with your bulls.
Fascinating!! I always love the cattle videos, listening to Patty first thing. The big guy sulking in the big field by himself, kinda sad. He just needed some space for awhile. LOL. Love his ❤ great video!
A while? His entire life's happiness and health depends on winning those contests. It's as if you not only lost your job, but you became homeless. Probably worse even. It's like you are homeless and forced to live next to a billionaire.
As a fellow 'Titus', I've been growing to really look forward to this specific battle each year. Excited to see if my namesake can keep the title each year.
This, yes this is what makes me happy! I’d be out sitting in the field with the cows if I could. But, for now I’m so happy that you’re giving me my happy place! Thank you. 😍✌🏼
I love how cows have a human like quality about them. They vocalize their feelings and socialize like us. He was really telling you how sad he was at the end.😂😂😂
I can really appreciate how you checked on the bulls. You're a good farm daddy! Love from SC!
Daddy? O-O
Always makes me nervous being around one bull, let alone two! My great grandfather lost a leg from an Angus bull pushing him into a gate.
My homeboy Larry has a black angus bull that is the size of a small bus. He’s very gentle though - unlike his last bull. He was ornery - but delicious, as it turns out. 🥩
Bull can be sweet
Haha like Dr Pol's saying "Never turn your back to an Angus!"
Thats why all my bulls never see they're 2nd birthday all killed at 21 months, can never trust a bull
@@calftobeefwexfordpaul1482 😭😭😭😭 poor boy and some bull’s are nice my nan had a sister her daughter and a bull got along and he let her give him pat and would never hurt her
Your understanding and connection with the herd and their trust in you is a beautiful thing to watch.
What's the best steak doneness?
@@pcmatt9831 definitely medium-rare
This is so fascinating to watch. Thank you so much for explaining. I've seen calves born but never how it all begins. He was so upset and glad you came to console him. I believe cows can think and respond to love. and defeat.
Was really rooting for orden this year. Tough break, but life goes on.
First thing I see when I click on the video. Lol thanks alot
@@KlineFarmchannel dang spoiler....I hate when that happens .
Yeah man don't comment the outcome on the video not cool
@@Luckingsworth dont read the comments first.
@@Luckingsworth I actually read the comments in videos I don't want to watch fully to find out the outcome..
I sure enjoyed watching the two bulls, couldn't help myself I found it funny as heck. Poor Ordon
Love your relationship with your cattle herd !!! May your pastures always be green and your herd always healthy. Stay safe and healthy Sir. Thank you for sharing your farm with us.
Thanks for explaining the process of dominance. So interesting. And seeing the cows jostle for position. Love all gets worked out.
This was awesome to watch. The commentary was amazing. I loved the “oh there’s a crisis poop, gotta get rid of some of that extra weight”. That was hilarious. I feel bad for Orton, but it’s amazing to see how sweet and affectionate he is with you even knowing he has such strength. He’ll get him next time! ❤️
I’m from Chicago, I live in a small town now and I find myself asking a lot of questions to farmers about farm life. I’m not going to lie I be curious and be completely amazed on how farmers know so much about animals.
The knowledge is passed down brother
@@jamfamily4287 🤝🏿
Thank you Pete! Just the pasture rotation was awesome, but the pecking order was so naturally clear! Thanks again!
That was wonderful. I really enjoyed your interaction with your animals and the relationship that all of you have.
That's some good homegrown entertainment right there!
I really like watching your videos and how much you care for your animals. Have a great rest of your Thursday.
glad that ordon have you there to consult him after losing an important battle.
They are cute bulls, what a beautiful farm and wonderful owner ☺️🥰
The way you feel for your animals is just awesome! It’s clear you love what you do and who you are!
@@vernonfrance2974 I said he loves what he does.
@@vernonfrance2974 That’s what bulls do. Not sure why you blame him.
I sure do appreciate your videos. I enjoy coming along with you for your chores. Farming seems to be a wholesome life style. Many people are suffering with stresses and anxiety now a days, for me it’s relaxing to hang out with Pete. Do what you gotta do and I’ll be here for your next video when you feel like putting it out.
Thanks for your efforts.
Love that you tell what's happening especially for someone like me who knows zero, but learning
Titus reminds me of my Dexter bull so much.
Hey Deep South (Danny and Wanda)!!! I love when I see a channel I follow supporting another channel I love and follow. 👍🏻👋🏻❤
Pete you do a great job with the cattle.
Thanks for sharing Pete. I feel bad for Orton but I understand. You have a special relationship with your animals. That’s nice to see.
Nice to see good wholesome videos. Thx for sharing your time with your herd for us to watch.
I love your relationship with these animals!!!
I am still amazed how docile and friendly these two bulls are. Having grown up around dairy/beef farms where there were occasional bulls of Holstein and some French breeds, the warning was always out to be ever so cautious around them. Your two guys act much more different.
Because he actually cares for his cattle unlike other people and you see that in their behavior.
@@Metalmaxm yeah, that's what I think too. They get handled pretty often too, that might also make a huge difference.
This is probably a "Safety Sam" sort of comment, but my grandparents often used to say "You have to be cautious around the gentle bulls".
@@jazzerbyte its called common sense
very impressive show, you are really good at this all you presented to us. Enjoy the beautiful nature.
You are right about rain fall Pete. My meadow has never been this lush for the 30 years that I have owned it. My wife and I traveled through rural areas in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Co. in western NYS. yesterday. I have never seen the fields so brilliant green and thick as they are this fall. It has been a great year for grazing cattle and making hay. Thank you for the interesting video and coverage of the bull fight.
This just popped up in my youtube recommends; it's absolutely adorable how they talk back to you!
Great video. i love seeing the interactions between you and the cows and see how it works!
I love the sound of cows on new pasture. That crunch, crunch, crunch is extremely satisfying to me.
Ditto
Great show. Great commentary. Keep up the good farming content Pete!
Very informative video with the complete explanation and empathy for the brown bull. Thank you, enjoyed this.
Love, love, love watching those bulls, cows, and babies!
Great video Pete. Love the commentary and can tell you really care for your livestock. Two thumbs up!!!
This man is a Real cattle farmer, ive never seen one like him he bonds with his heard, knows them ,they have a peaceful life he makes them feel love as all animals feel emotionally and can express it i love cows, really enjoyed watching this ,😊
Too bad humans are seemingly forgetting these life lessons.
Great video. I don’t know why I’m so fascinated with cows. If I was rich and retired, I’d love to have a working cattle farm.
I love the way you allow Nature to run it's course. Fighting bulls need this fight! Poor ol Ordan, I feel for him. It's no different than two men doing the same thing to establish their place in society. Don't think so?, just watch men when they meet, they immediately size each other up looking for strengths and weaknesses. Even their handshake, the dominant one will have his hand on top.
My family came here from Germany through the mid 1800s - early 1900s & were farming families in Wisconsin. I've always had much respect for farming families and what they actually do to feed the country. You remind me of much of my distant family, who are now passed...
Keep up the amazing work!
Love this guy. He's the Jay Leno of cow farming! Here's a noble man that knows his cows, knows his grass, knows his farm. Salut, young feller. Live long and prosper, lad! Wish I had a kid like this. Really.
lol aww i love it how they come running when you call them :) they obviously trust you and know that you care for them. So cool to see.
Thanks Pete! Your videos bring inner peace, in turbulent time!
I love how the cows just stand there and watch they don’t even care about Pete like he’s one of them
Another very enjoyable video to begin my day. Thanks Pete.
I loved this & I love how you obviously have a friendship with your cattle x& care about them. Poor old Orden. Great video
Such an informative video. That was really cool to watch up close. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Pete, I’ve been looking forward to the bull battle video since I started following your channel this year - I love watching the herd dynamics and it’s an especially interesting because you give us a blow by blow description, quite literally. You allow Orden to sire offspring just like Titus so I don’t feel too sorry for him - in nature he might not get that opportunity.
really enjoy ALL your videos/content so much! Thanks for sharing! A big hello from South Africa!
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I felt like I lived on a farm today. And poor Ortan looked and sounded like me when I lose a Chess Match.
Really enjoyed your commentary and so relaxed.
Just found your site and love it already. Look forward to seeing more videos. Spending day watching all your older vlogs. Poor guy I know his pain. LoL
Crisis poop! lol love this channel! You always make me laugh!
Them talking too you is so funny, across the field and having all different personalities😂
Interesting. Awww with the going and trying to comfort him at the end. Thanks for posting.
Idea for next year...
Titus x Ordan on a time lapse, plus benny hill music.
Awww Ordin, he went off sulking by himself😔 it's ok Ordin give it a few days you'll be ok fella💕
Crisis Poop!! I love it. Pete, I'm really enjoying your stuff.
I love watching how docile ur bulls are with u. I always wanted to have my own cattle. And watching ur video teaches me so much more about cattle. Hopefully one day i could have my own cattle the way u have urs.
It shows that you love what you do. Awesome to see how cattle works with you.
I LOVE your videos! keep doing what your doing! your making my day amazing and other peoples day amazing too
That was very entertaining, glad in the end the cows all got along. Thanks for sharing!!
I half expect to hear Leonard Bernstein's score to West side story here with the tussling of the "gangs" Lol!
Most excellent!
Peace on your doorstep!
Wow, I’m glad I happened onto your videos. I’m a former dairy farmer and I really miss it. I do so love your videos and I love your cows and bulls. Poor Orden, i feel bad for him. But as you said, there can only be one boss. Even our dairy cows had a boss, unfortunately she was mean.
Hello 👋 Abbygirl. How are you doing? Hope you're fine. I am Zack Hudson and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem to a real country girl
Great insight on the bulls, thanks Pete!
Lol. Love how you showed your cows personalities. I had no idea they were so interesting, personable and moody lol. That was very cool.
You have a handsome herd. Love the way they come when you call. First time watching, thanks for sharing.
