    Tyler you are not only a great rancher but a compassionate one also. Good for you. I remember when you found Buddy and his/your journey. I love watching you and the whole gang. Best creator on TH-cam hands down!!

    You said that Buddy didn't have a purpose. I have been watching your channel as long as you have been here, and I have to disagree with you about this.
    Remember the time Buddy helped you with keeping the Bismarck Bull company when he was very young? Remember when Buddy helped with other young calves. Seems like Buddy has been your solution to more than one cow society issue over the years. He is your pet, he helps the farm, he is just wonderful in my eyes. And I am proud of you for remembering now, just how helpful he has been and will continue to be........😊

      I totally agree, you might need strong hands to be a farmer/rancher but also you have to be caring and compassionate, in Tyler's case, he's just a softy with a big heart! That's why I watch his channel.

    This was fantastic. Thank you for taking time out to make this and giving us an in-depth look at one of the reasons we're FTR fans and specifically Buddy fans. I've been here since before you found Buddy and am delighted to have been taken down memory lane, not that I needed to be shown. Buddy is one thing I look for in all of your videos. This was an awesome way for me to start my day online. I'm not sure if you're aware of this but your personality and spirit is perfect for being a content creator. I look forward to every post you make and truly cannot imagine not having you as a part of my regular online experience. A special shout out and thank you to Bree and Macy for being part of the reason Buddy is a permanent part of FTR.

    Never had a therapy steer but one of the farms I worked at had a therapy cow and it was great. This was a dairy farm and having one old pet cow made my job so much easier. She was too old to be the leader of the herd but cows will follow when one starts moving. She always knew where to go, came when I called and followed where I led. Moving pastures or getting them back to be milked was easy when all I had to do was call her and didn't have to push the herd.

    I remember Buddy's story very well. He was so cute and still is. I've been watching this channel from the beginning, and I've never been disappointed in the content, nor have I ever once thought of you, FT, as any kind of farmer/rancher other than excellent at everything you do. That includes taking good care of all of your animals. I really don't see how anyone has the nerve to criticize you. You're the best!

  • @snipe757
    @snipe757 26 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    Been watching this channel since before Buddy. He became a favorite, with his friendly, gentle demeanor. and it's amazing to realize he's been around for five years! IIRC he hit that growth spurt around the time the cattle mineral was switched to the good Redmond stuff. Prior to that, he was small and his coat was a dry orange color, but then he grew massive and his coat changed to the classic Hereford red. I'm so glad to hear he'll have a home for life, and the best possible home at that. He's a cool guy and it's always fun to see him in the videos.

    Love the video on Buddy. We have black angus and about 7 years ago , we had a calf born, his mother wouldn’t own him. After many bottle feedings, and a banding, he is now my gentle giant , steer, known as JR. He is about a foot taller than all the others, so he is easy to pick out at the trough. I wish I could include a picture. Keep up the good work.

    We have a cow that is now the pet. When we took over the ranch, we decided to sell half the herd. We only had about 25 head at the time. We couldn't find one of the cows while we were loading the trailer. We got the trailer loaded and gone, then we found out she was out dropping a calf. This is when our first experience of a new heifer calf happened. My granddaughter named her Milky, because she would try to suck milk from every cow and not just her mother. She was the first calf that we could get close enough to pet. She is old enough now where she has already had a couple of calves herself, but we still treat her different, because she lets us pet her. Although she is getting a little meaner now and bucks her head at us when we try to pet her, but she still gives in at times.

  • @davidbaillie2087
    @davidbaillie2087 28 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

    Love this. A lot of cattle operations have a Buddy and he does provide something important too. With his calm demeanor and size he helps calm the herd down just by how he reacts to you.
    He always comes up right away and the other cows/calves see him not moving away and as herd animals they also don't react negatively.

  • @aprilsherry1616

    Great video Tyler! We also have a Buddy, but her name is Annie. She was born in September of 2019. She was not a twin, but her mother didn’t want her. In fact, she tried to hurt Annie. So we took her and she was our first bottle calf experience. She is also very calm and comes to us, likes petting, etc. Annie thought for the longest time that she wasn’t a cow and wouldn’t assimilate with them. Fast forward….Annie does have a job on our farm. She has proven to be a good mother. She will be here to live out her life. Thanks again. We love your channel! Keep up the good work.
