- -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.

THANKS!
Birth is an amazing miracle.
What about when they kill them?
Love this ❤️
I love calving season!!!!
Good explanation on preventative medications and infection precautions! Smart heifer breeding program to help prevent birthing complications. The information that you provide in your videos can help other ranchers learn what works and why. Good video.
Also is so great for those of us that don’t ranch understand what all goes into the meat that is on our tables. Thank you❤❤❤
Risk of death from cancer, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, kidney disease, liver disease and lung disease all increase with the amount of meat consumed. - National Cancer Institute
925 million humans (1 in 9) suffer from hunger, yet 80 billion unnaturally bred animals on farms are given enough human edible food that could support 4 billion humans directly. -University of Minnesota
Animal agriculture uses 83% of global farmland and only provides 18% of global calories. When we switch to a plant based food system, we can restore/reforest 76% of global farmland AND be able to feed all humans. -journal Science
@leviahimsa beef is plant based food! Cattle are herbivores, not carnivores. Studies can be manipulated to a desired conclusion. As the Bible tells us, anything to excess is not good. I'll keep eating my plant based meat. Thank you.
@@thomasosburn833 An animal eating plants, does not make consuming their body parts plant based. Do you think animal abuse is wrong?
Anecdotes and denial are subjective, and unable to be independently verified. Scientific evidence is objective and can be independently verified.
The only diet ever scientifically shown to reverse our leading cause of human death (Cardiovascular Disease kills 33% of humans), with 99.4% success, is a *Whole Food Plant Based* diet. -Esselstyn, journal Family Practice
A plant based diet is healthful, nutritionally adequate, and provides health benefits *for all stages of life, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes, in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, including cancer, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. - American Nutrition and Dietetic Association *World's largest group of nutrition professionals*
Randomized crossover trial to compare the effect of consuming plant-based meat to "organic grass-fed" animal meat shows plant-based meat causes 1) significant drop in TMAO levels (which is associated with heart failure, kidney failure, and atherosclerosis), 2) significant drop in cholesterol, 3) significant drop in weight (with equal calorie intake). - Stanford
I love calving!!! Great job Carson!!
The miracle of life is always great to see.
Wow! that's a workout, great job!
Thanks
Looks like a beautiful day there for Treating the herd . But the weather will change before your all done . 😊
I loved 26:02.. calf walks up to camera and says, "You're not filming me!!!"...... I laughed out loud at that..........
Great Video!!!
Better to calve in 50 degree weather than 2 foot of snow and 20 below. Hope all goes well this season
Love watching the video. They are all so cute .👍❤️🇨🇦
We use Corriente bulls on our fist calf heifers. In 5 years I can count on one hand the number that we have helped. "Bare arm'n it".....that will break you from chewing your finger nails. Ran out of OB sleeves and had to AI a cow "one time". I buy them by the case now.
I am glad you are having nice weather for calving. Things run so much smother when it is. This video shows just how much work goes into calving first-time calvers. Keep up the good job.
Great video, always exciting when start calving !!!
And so it begins😊
Perfect example Carson why we need lotta big pockets. Great video of what it takes to be a rancher/cowboy. Prayers for the upcoming birth of the new baby and the mom. Have a blessed week up there.
Thanks for always sharing what you do on the ranch. I si enjoy it. Hope all is well.with you and your family. Take care ❤
Thank for sharing. Again another awesome video . I hope all is well with the family. May god bless you.
😮❤😊 congratulations mamas and ranchers 🎉
Love seeing all the new calves. Keeping you busy. Hope this calving season goes great with no problems.
Look at those babies they look like the future. ❤ Happy Valentine's to you and Demaris. God bless
Really good video Carson. It looks like you are getting some nice weather for calving. I had to laugh when you said day care is closed. Thanks for sharing your life!
It’s amazing how fast those little guys can be just after they’re born and up and walking!!

Thank you for sharing this miracle with us.
God bless you and your family. 🙋🏻♀️♥️🇺🇸
Another interesting day at the ranch. That calf puller sure helps out a bunch. Sometimes that can be quit the proses pulling them. Thank for sharing
Amazing that South Dakota has basically the same temperature as North Florida today.
Good job I’m showing everybody how to pool the baby you could tell it wasn’t your first time. Good job love watching your channel. Keep up the good Contant.
I know one heifer that's going to be at the sale barn
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CARSON 😊
Those heifers are in beautiful shape. I do the same regimen on my newborns but also give them calf optimizer gel. Looks like good weather for calving as well.
Nice Video ...
Nice looking calves. 😊❤
God is Great. The calves are beautiful.
Good morning from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else
It's 1835pm Wednesday ❤❤
Watching from Michigan.Thanks for sharing your work!
Great video!! I love seeing the calves. I remember my grandpa pulling by his hands many decades ago.
I love watching your life style and the gentle care you give to your animald
I’d suggest building a windbreak type of fence in that big heifer pen to create a better angle when bring individual heifers in from the group. They always seem to give a guy trouble if they are high headed or being pushed out of the group by themselves.
I like it that it sounds everything you are giving them is natural. Good info for non-rancher Hinesville Georgia
Ideal weather to start the season.
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊
That was a busy day. Lots more to come
I deliver feed to a large cow calf farm an they medicate new borns the same way you do . They have very good luck with new borns .
Good morning from Orillia, Ontario
Beautiful video Thanks
The calves are sweet.🎉
Thanks for sharing
Love it
Thanks 😊
Thanks for the calving video. Always good. Blessings.
Looks like you are having great weather for calving! Good luck my friend
thanks for sharing.. get looking bunch of calves... always a joy to see new born calves
be glad they aren't horses you have 10 to 15 minutes after the mare start or you have a deal foal you have to pull them all by hand çows are so much easier we ran cows and mares
Thanks for showing us how you deal with it all. If I remember correctly, last year it was snowing and the calfs were very cold.
Will you deliver your own baby ? Your so good at it❤
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Yipppeeee!I have calving videos to watch before we start our own calving in beginning of April. Nice looking babies! Congratulations my friend. Now comes the very loooong days and nights and days of round the clock work right? But I just love when the calves arrive. Hope everything goes smooth as silk!
Carson calving has started off well for you, hope the rest goes well. Like you were like to put a easy calving bull with our first calf heifers. We have recently been using Brangus Bulls, where we get our Brangus bulls from have used a lot of US seed stock. Our herd is mostly Brahman females, once they have their first calf we then use Charolais Bulls, these crossbred calves do well and are very popular here in Australia. Keep safe
Do you keep records of the moms who need help with birthing from year to year? Could this be a trait to wean out of herd?
O man I’ve been there. Lol Easier to move the rest of the heard away from the crazy one.
They get so confused
❤🎉😮 Oh Carson this video is award worthy!! The camera work, the lighting.. you explaining everything... The live birth was so awesome, beautiful barn, and you're a great daddy!! 😍😁🐂🙂
I enjoyed it so much, God is good. Thanks for your videos and I hope you all are doing well!! (New baby yet?) 😊♥️⭐🙏☺️
Pretty crazy those little black calves are bringing $8 a pound at sale barns here in upstate NY. Crossed on dairy not even purebred. Hope you video tagging that wild ones calf I know there a pain but they’re the best mommas
Since it's calving season and if you have time, could you do a calf being born in a "short"? Maybe create a few over the next 3-4 weeks?
What an awesome video It's so nice to see the start of you're Calvin season You're so amazing the way you handle you're cows and seeing you pull the calve was awesome I hope all you're Calvin goes well for you with lots of health calves
Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one
Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮
Mornin Carson, I have a question for you: Why did Jesus fold his garment when he left the tomb?
Stay Christ curious y'all😊
I use OB STRAPS INSTEAD OF CHAINS
Carsen just thinking if your using that area quite often for pulling calves with that portable device why not set up a fixed comalong point to the wall to pull the calves just a thought
Tell them girls to hurry before they geoengineer another freeze.
About how many calf do ya'll lose
hello, you always talk about your cows, but what about your land? what practice do you have? do you bring importance to the earth? THANKS
What become of your colt have see you doing anything with him.?
Hi Sr.How are you doing?I really appreciate your work.if i want to do something like that,how could help me please?
11:18 you didn't spray it with iodine
You guys have a bunch of cows. How many total do you have and how many take care of them.
What's your dog's name?
You should set up a live camera on the cows waiting to birth you would be surprised how many people will watch.
This was a first for me. Job well done. Enjoyed this video.
be glad they aren't horses you have 10 to 15 minutes after the mare start or you have a deal foal you have to pull them all by hand çows are so much easier we ran cows and mares
