I just noticed how much extra time and effort you make to film these videos! Thank you for sharing what’s going on each day on Farmer Tyler Ranch. It snowed last night ~ Lake Norman NC
Yes you must walk a lot of extra miles setting up your camera, walking back to pick up the camera, Thanks for doing it . we really enjoy your day to day chores
I have often thought about the amount of time you spend placing your cameras in just the right spot ? It's gotta be at least one hour, or two, each day - gotta be a bit of a pain - EVERY day !! Hopefully, UTube compensates you adequately, or you probably wouldn't do it ?
He doesn't have to do it every day. It doesn't take long to gather enough video to follow a half hr of video. It's the editing that is so very time consuming. Its justbl8ke those who go on about hard this or that person works etc etc but being a solo farmer has always been a hugely demanding occupation. Those filming their work day to post on YT are doing so as a business venture. It's often tedious but it's def a decent way of making a living. Exercise is the epitome of farming whether they film it or not. Those unfamiliar with farm life should be greatly blessed by such YT videos. @@johnking8679
I love hearing that old 8N start up. The stories it could tell! All the livestock seem very content. Must be the year of the rodents! We’ve noticed a lot of activity too.
Tyler here is a thought for your barn sides buy thick tarps and make it to were you can roll them up durring the summer and pull them down during the winter that would be more economical what do you think.
Enjoyable video. As said in Forrest Gump, FTR videos are like a box of chocolates. Never know what you’re going to get. Have eager anticipation for each new post.
I am gonna have to visit a shelter for a barn cat too. Last time I saw mine was Memorial Day. She was 14. needless to say, this is the first time I have seen mice in years. They are awful.
Hello tyler, I was reading more about baking soda killing rats and I as I read deeper into it I found that potato flakes is recommended as potato flakes will also expand and puff up in a rat stomach along with a baking soda. The resulting expansion inside the red stomach as rats cannot burp is it supposed to multiply the mortality rate. Your use of the baking soda got me curious so I looked it up online and a couple different places and found out that information. Here's hoping you have a great day.
Good morning from central Indiana. Love hearing about your new plans for the bull pen and the barn. The ranch looks great and getting better every season. Calli is a sweetheart for sure and for certain. Have a wonderful week.
Those rodents would freak me right out!! 🤣🤣 🫣 Not Callie! She's not only looking after you she's looking for those rodents too! 🤣 Callie's a keeper!! ✅ I think some barn cats would be good in so many ways. That's it!!! Barn cats it is! I just love that BEAUTIFUL blue sky!! It's ABSOLUTELY beautiful! I also like how you cleaned things up too! Looks really good! Loved that string weed trimmer thing. I'm a cleaner upper person so cleaning up looks good to me. Thank you FTR for sharing. So nice to watch videos that are good & you learn from them as well. At least I do. I really look forward to your videos!! I believe your Grandfather would be so proud of you & how you've kept his ranch up so nice! Love that it's kept in the family! Taking care of your farm animals like you do! I'm sure he did too! Good job!! 👏👏
Heres a thought: why don’t you sell the heavy bucket to someone that can use it. Then find some barn wood ( a tear down) to purchase for the side of your barn. It will look old and aesthetically pleasing from the road.
I'm amazed at all the hard work you do on your farm to care for the animals. I want a cat but i'm to lazy to change a litter box! I gew up in the city so watching your videos puts me in a whole new world. Very entertaining. Can't wait to see a final solution to the critters and new barn CATS!
Believe me we were using conventional bait to try to get rid of them when we had a problem we had bait stations all over the place. I was buying a big bucket every week. They were so bad when I fed my chickens in the morning , if I didn't stand there they would come out and run all the full grown chickens off the feeder in broad daylight. Until we started using the mix it took a little while but they are all gone now. You might need to put alittle more baking soda in your mix. Make the baking soda a little more than half.AND be patient. Everybody else I've talked in to trying it ithas worked for them too.
‘Cali Cold Start” now THATS FUNNY! It was 8 (That’s EIGHT!!!) degrees here yesterday! It’s so cold, My TPMS System light (Tire pressure monitor) just won’t even reset anymore!
Wish i lived closer. There are about 20 feral cats in my trailer park that roam freely. Id be glad for you to come get them all. Saw smokey and that calf is for sure little next to the others. Another project that i see happening quickly, bull pin gate. So enjoy your videos. Have a great day.
About siding the hay barn. If it were me, I would make sure the posts are secure and the beams are not rotted. But I would hold off on siding it because that would limit your options and the cost may not make sense. Buy a slightly used LS tractor first.
If you have a problem reading the information on embossed items. Clean the Debris off and take a piece of Board Chalk and run it over the embossed part to reveal the information beneath. Hope that helps someone.
I don't think you'll ever know if the rat bait worked or not. But not because whether or not it worked or not but because of the amount of mice that live in your hay. When you move a bale half a dozen of them come out. I always get my hay a long ways away from my home and my working shop. Gotta Love Hawks and barn cats. And where I'm from you would get snakes because of the amount of mice
Aussie version of your rodent bait is icing sugar (I think y’all call it powdered sugar) and cement Works a bloody treat and there’s no smell of dead animals cos the cement dries the body out 😊
On my Grandpa’s 1958 international loader tractor, we were able to take the pump apart and have the faces machined flat again, put it back together and had good pressure. Idk if that can be done with yours.
Tyler it may pay to check new pumps they may be a lot stronger than you think. Maybe strong enough to use the blue bucket. But the cost may not justify it.
I would like to suggest a way in which you could check how effective your "rodent bait" may be. If you could obtain some mice as "temporary pets" (whether from a pet shop, or if you have some way of catching a few alive), you could keep them in a small enclosure and feed them. If the bait is effective, these pets may not last for a long time. Best of luck!!
I noticed you stand your bales onend. We were told that allows water in and mold grows. Just forwarding info as to why we don't. May i ask if you habe had any issues with the hay?😊
With all you have to do cleaning up always go to the bottom of the list, and who ever gets to the bottom of their list, at least I don't. Great to just devote to specific time and makes a good video.
Tyler mate don't you ever fancy building yourself a shed to put your cows in for the winter you can build a telegraph pole shed it was just a suggestion as if you decide to put your calves in the shed it would save you a lot of time and money travelling to this steer pasture you could put the heifers in one side and the bullocks in the other side mate
And I never found any dead rats anywhere they were just gone..and anytime we see evidence of a new one in any of the buildings I put out a fresh batch of mix and in a little while thier gone.And we don't have any cats in our barns or buildings. I'm highly allergic to them. Best thing we ever found I wouldn't take the time to tell you this if it hadn't worked so well for us . I'm still so glad my husband found out about it off the internet. It's so nice not having to spend all that money on that bait. And to not half to worry about those nasty little VARMINTS.
Do a little research on poisons. A lot of them are weight-based meaning it only takes two or three pellets to kill a mouse but of a cat eats that dead mouse it won't hurt it. Might find some. That's what we use.
I'm a big fan, but Cats? I have had cats and visiting cats for 50 yrs! the rule of thumb literally is if they come and you feed them they're yours! So you could get a "herd" of them, as kittens" or adults. On other farm vlogs many owners literally have a large group of barn/storage shed cats to control all the varmints.
After about 4 weeks of soda mix, you should see almost all rodent activities stop or be severely curtailed. I would still leave it out after all activities have stopped because they can move in from all over.
Baking soda or what ever your using ain’t guna work lol ur nuts get some actual mouse bait or like you said some barn cats and feed them instead of the rodents like your doing now nothing deters a rodent better then a predator
I love Callie! She is always so busy looking after her farm. Investigating, sniffing, searching. She is wonderful.
Really love seeing the blue sky, sunshine and green grass ! FTR is king of cool camera angles !
Calli always checks out the place where you pick up a bale. I think more barn cats will turn out to be the best solution.
Thanks for sharing farmer Tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

That Calli is a smart dog, she knows how to get out of your way. 🐕👍😊
I love hearing that old 8N start up. The stories it could tell! All the livestock seem very content. Must be the year of the rodents! We’ve noticed a lot of activity too.
Here too!
Good update FTR. All looks in order!
Tyler here is a thought for your barn sides buy thick tarps and make it to were you can roll them up durring the summer and pull them down during the winter that would be more economical what do you think.
I find it amazing how only one person you can do all this work on the 🚜 farm 🚜 😂😊
It's been done for many years on many farms.
Just like women have done for many years in many homes
Thanks for all the difference angles with the camera's
Just love all the chores I use to hate and would love to go back just to smells and that feeling tht I’ve fed the cows.
Enjoyable video. As said in Forrest Gump, FTR videos are like a box of chocolates. Never know what you’re going to get. Have eager anticipation for each new post.

You and the dog got a lot done today. Thanks for taking us with you. God bless.

I truly appreciate all time and hard work you put in making and sharing these videos. Have a wonderful evening Tyler
FT, have a great week.
I love that old tractor. If I had a bigger a bigger yard I'd want one as a yard ornament. Like a boat propellar I saw once but better.
Good morning from central Indiana. Love hearing about your new plans for the bull pen and the barn. The ranch looks great and getting better every season. Calli is a sweetheart for sure and for certain. Have a wonderful week.
favorite channel
Great video! Nice cleanup! I love a good before and after:)
Good morning. You have a great day 💞
Back in the day we used to put water in the back tires. It helps stabilize the tractor.
Try putting a bowl of water near the bait, you have to have some liquids to make it work

Cover that outside edge of hay with Visqueen! Thanks for all the fun camera work 👍 love to see grampa’s tractor at work 👍👏🇺🇸
There isn't a more permanent storage site... Than the one you park things in "temporarily".
Heres a thought: why don’t you sell the heavy bucket to someone that can use it. Then find some barn wood ( a tear down) to purchase for the side of your barn. It will look old and aesthetically pleasing from the road.
Love the videos. I learn a great deal to help my ranch. Rodents are always a challenge.
Thx
Those calves are growing big. You have a good payday coming.
Yep-“Welcome to, ‘Callie Tyler Ranch’”!!
Thanks
Oh, the sounds of soggy and squishy mud and followed by a bit of mooing.
Many thoughts of the future by Farmer Tyler today...

HI good morning Tyler from Indiana
I live in Plainfield Indiana. Sure is a small world.
@@jennifershephard4708 is that southern Indiana
Barn cats are a good idea!
Or a Terrier are wonderful ratters dog.
Needed the corn with plaster of Paris so when they drink the water it hardens inside play or concrete you know works the best
Geraldton is 23 Celsius today and most days and cloudy , no rain . Women folk would know Princess is doing well with me
Thinking outloud is what it do all the time....
About siding the hay barn. If it were me, I would make sure the posts are secure and the beams are not rotted. But I would hold off on siding it because that would limit your options and the cost may not make sense. Buy a slightly used LS tractor first.

Every single farm/ranch can't throw away twine. You never know lol
Tyler I think the ratio is 2-1 you need for your bait. 2 parts of baking soda to 1 part cornmeal. Best wishes, D
Cold in Jonesboro ga 20miles from Atlanta, no snow yet.
I was told plaster of paris and icing sugar works quick
I like this idea. Plaster of Paris would solidify much more quickly than cement.
I was wondering how much hay per head of cattle you go through during the winter months? Thank you and my family and I love watching you!!!!
I don't think you'll ever know if the rat bait worked or not. But not because whether or not it worked or not but because of the amount of mice that live in your hay. When you move a bale half a dozen of them come out. I always get my hay a long ways away from my home and my working shop. Gotta Love Hawks and barn cats. And where I'm from you would get snakes because of the amount of mice
Hope you don’t find many rodents but love to see the barn cats at work
Aussie version of your rodent bait is icing sugar (I think y’all call it powdered sugar) and cement Works a bloody treat and there’s no smell of dead animals cos the cement dries the body out 😊
Smart. Take from sides first. Then more room for storing other items.
On my Grandpa’s 1958 international loader tractor, we were able to take the pump apart and have the faces machined flat again, put it back together and had good pressure. Idk if that can be done with yours.
Tyler it may pay to check new pumps they may be a lot stronger than you think. Maybe strong enough to use the blue bucket. But the cost may not justify it.
Just be patient it will work its not instantaneous. You have to give it time. Itt takes time for all of them to eat it.
For the pump try Rocklin Hydraulics on Granite dr.
I like surplus center for hydraulics. Not sure of gpm but Id guess 3-5. If you did 1 turn and measured output in cc would get close.
I would like to suggest a way in which you could check how effective your "rodent bait" may be. If you could obtain some mice as "temporary pets" (whether from a pet shop, or if you have some way of catching a few alive), you could keep them in a small enclosure and feed them. If the bait is effective, these pets may not last for a long time. Best of luck!!
Barn cats - yes!
I noticed you stand your bales onend. We were told that allows water in and mold grows. Just forwarding info as to why we don't. May i ask if you habe had any issues with the hay?😊
With all you have to do cleaning up always go to the bottom of the list, and who ever gets to the bottom of their list, at least I don't. Great to just devote to specific time and makes a good video.
Try Surplus Center In Lincoln NE for the hydraulic pump and lots of other stuff. Be safe out there we need you.
No rest for the wicked 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Tyler mate don't you ever fancy building yourself a shed to put your cows in for the winter you can build a telegraph pole shed it was just a suggestion as if you decide to put your calves in the shed it would save you a lot of time and money travelling to this steer pasture you could put the heifers in one side and the bullocks in the other side mate
That would be awfully gross and harder to manage.
And I never found any dead rats anywhere they were just gone..and anytime we see evidence of a new one in any of the buildings I put out a fresh batch of mix and in a little while thier gone.And we don't have any cats in our barns or buildings.

How many HP is the John Deere tractor you use?
What's the difference between farm, steer pasture, ranch and house? Are any colocated? Thanks.
Do you think that using gravel might cause hoof issues that you haven’t had?
You can just take a picture of that part plate with your phone, and then enhance it. The info will pop right out at you.
"supposedly" mice can't pass gas and the baking soda gives them gas. I have never had the mixture work for me.
Thanks for a great video
I'm a big fan, but Cats? I have had cats and visiting cats for 50 yrs! the rule of thumb literally is if they come and you feed them they're yours! So you could get a "herd" of them, as kittens" or adults. On other farm vlogs many owners literally have a large group of barn/storage shed cats to control all the varmints.
I tried that rat bait last year for about three months.I just have a house and it did nothing to get rid of mice and rats. Good luck.
Best bet is adopting a mating pair of cats and you'll be in business with cats in no time 😂
Owosso or Steiner tractor parts is who I use
any chance you can use the pump off the "project" tractor that is in your shop as a temporary fix?
After about 4 weeks of soda mix, you should see almost all rodent activities stop or be severely curtailed.
I would still leave it out after all activities have stopped because they can move in from all over.
plaster of paris, flour and powdered sugar....
They just can't wait can they are acting like that they haven't eaten in awhile that cattle for sure
👍👍❤🐂
I am wondering if rodents from the field aren't being attracted into the barn.
not enough baking soda
John not Tamara!!
Question: Rodents, what about the Good Nature Traps? Will they no longer keep up with the increase in rodent population?
Hi Tyler are you growing your hair long just wondering
Not sure how tall that is but fence pickets are cheap wood
And the conventional bait wasn't working they were eating it like candy and thier numbers just kept increasing.
Your just a Trashy Guy! LOL 🤪
You will NEVER be able to keep a cat to stick around, if you don't get them fixed first. Be smart and not stubborn.
use the wife s tooth brush
Baking soda or what ever your using ain’t guna work lol ur nuts get some actual mouse bait or like you said some barn cats and feed them instead of the rodents like your doing now nothing deters a rodent better then a predator
Can someone tell me where the other dog went? Did I miss an episode?
She got hit by a car and passed away. Super sad for everybody.
Tragically hit by a car on the frontage road.
Unfortunately she got hit by a car abd did not survive.
