I am 70 years old and have but few heroes. My dad being one of them, I now find myself adding one more and that is Mr. FT you are such a hands-on type of guy and farm like my grandfather did. If it is broken, fix it with what resources, you have available. I wish there was something I could do for you. I would like to see more of the misses and the kids. I would be proud to say that you were my son. I wish you and the family only the best stay safe and keep farming. one more thing I am sure that your grandfather is watching over you with a big smile and can hear him say that's my grandson!

Exactly! I’m 64, my dad would be 103 if he was still alive. He could only ever afford a few cattle at a time and made his living in a welding and repair shop. He was a lot like you, Tyler, and he would have loved watching your channel. He taught me all he knew like which side of the post the wire goes on and why. Stuff I consider common sense and most people have no idea.

Hi. My mother was a "hands on" person, "Jack of all trades". She too would have enjoyed watching him.

You continue to show the way small operators are best at husbandry , the small things make animals lives better!

Big boy Rivet sure did love the new scratching post! That was so funny watching him do that while all the other cows were standing there waiting in line to try out their new scratcher!😄 The new fly sprayer looks like it's a huge success!👌 Have a good weekend Tyler!

Great idea for the cow scratchier! I'd imagine there will be quite the rush to find 'retired' street sweeper brushes. It's too bad you can't sell tickets to use it.

Nothing like a good back scratch, great job Tyler. I'm sure the herd is happy

Like how you try to answer our questions and it just makes us ask more for you to answer. Thanks. Looking good. Stay as cool as you can this weekend as the HOT is coming back for a few days.

It's funny to see how much the dog and cows like to interact.

What a nice thing to do for your cattle. Next bull you get should be called “Street-sweeper”!

I just adore Rivitor! He is such a character, and I really don't think he has a mean bone in his body! I can't wait to see next year's calf crop!!!!

Me too,he's such a handsome bull

Again--so kind to your animals--AND the fly spray ! Wow---how brilliant of you---lucky cows...

Tom Pemberton swears by the scratch brush for his cows. Your cows/bulls will love it. 👍👍👍💯💯💯

Great video Tyler, lots of smiles with this one, Callie checking in with the cows and Rivetter on the scratch post 😄

Cow heaven is a scratcher post. Thank you for sharing. Love that bull, he has a personality. He is a nice looking bull. Checking out your dog and tractor. Is there anything in this world more loyal than a man's dog?!!!

Especially, Callie who follows Tyler so faithfully !!

You are very clever! I think it’s great that you repurposed that instead of it just being thrown away. Rivoter was really getting into it!

You are Amazing at everything you do, you show your Cattle more love then most., keep doing what you’re doing because your Cattle love you 8-7-2023👍🏽👍🏽❤️

Love the street brushes, should last longer than the ones at feed stores.

Love the scratch brush pole. Spear those posts instead of carrying yourself. Have an awesome weekend.

Cattle brushes are the #1 saver of farm infrastructure! Most things that get broken seem to come from animals scratching themselves on them. You can go simple with post mounted ones, in ground mounts, all the way up to the powered ones used in bigger dairies. Whatever the type, cow's will line up for their turn to rub away mud, manure and itchy fly bites.

Trick for pulling out fence posts: drill a block onto the post low enough to get a bottle jack under then jack it up

What a good idea to reuse a street sweeper brush. Cattle seemed to love it. WTG

I had seen someone else use a brush for their cows and had wondered about you using one for your cattle. It was so funny watching the cows watching Riveter use it. They were like, “👁️ 👁️ What are you doing?!! Hey, that’s really cool. I want a try!!!” Lol. It sure looks hot there. I enjoy seeing Cali getting along with the cattle. I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!

This brush project is quite a big one. Chuckled as I thought of petsmart and what I bring home for kitty, this is a rancher’ s toy version for extremely strong, heavy herd behavior. Eager to see how it holds up❤️

You show innovation, use of what you have and very good mechanical ability. Continuing to watch and learn with you.

U r so Creative Tyler. Way to go. Riveter Spearheaded the desire of the Cows for the new post. That is great, glad to see it and thank u for sharing!

Stick a few range cubes into the brush. The more they rub the more cubes will fall out. It will get them started on the brush.

I love it! The blue Christmas Tree is a success! Awesome to see you doing things that make your cows lives better! Love it! Who would not want a big back scratcher.

Every time you use that old tractor I’m amazed how much life is still in it. Cows are so funny, curious one minutes, skittish the next. I bet they’ve all given the new scratcher a whirl by now. Great day on FTR.

I call that old tractor (The Beast) LoL it's very Stout....

That was a very satisfying video to watch! Happy that the cows have a feel-good spot to scratch, and that so many nasty flies are dead dead dead!

Great to see the fly volume on the ground!! Even if the brush gets knocked over they will still love it, it will be the new corral toy! Good post FTR!

@johnking8679

If they do knock it over, I think it's a brilliant idea to use that brush and I would reinstall it for future use !! It sure has very stiff bristles for the cattle to rub on !!

Or Tyler will have to put up a steel and concrete post. He can do it. I have faith

First of all greetings and successes Tyler, I want to congratulate you on this channel, it’s my favorite and I really enjoy seeing everything that happens in your day to day! I will like to congratulate you also because although English isn’t my mother language, I can understand almost entirely what you say since you modulate and your explanation of what you do are clear and simple. I hope you continue to accumulate successes, your videos are very entertaining and educational in many cases! Greetings from Panama 🇵🇦 God bless you!

Glad to see the cattle are finally warming up to the fly sprayer. I've seen one guy in Vermont use large sheets of fly paper wrapped around a barrel or trash can in his field. It is VERY effective for him and his cattle don't seem to bother it.

The guys and ladies I follow on KZread that have diary cows. Just love the cow brush

Riveter, you’re such a handsome moulin..? Charlois? I really enjoy Tyler, how you make use of what you have on the ranch instead of running to town to buy new. More people need to be like you are❣️❣️❣️ I totally love your channel on dish is my talk to KZread channels to watch♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Those scratching posts are marvellous aren’t they.

I think Riveter is in love with his new toys, but still loves the girls.

We have been using those rubs for years in Eastern WA, They work great and the bulls really love them.

Yes! I was thinking of a car wash brush type thing for the cows to scratch on hanging on a tree. Street sweeper broom on a post is just the berries (as my grandma would say).

OH MY, dead fly burial ground. What a lovely sight😅. Riviter is a very good “demo” bull..the cattle say Thanks dad !!

Your the one and only guy I know that has a blue totem pole in his feed lot, your going to have bus loads of people stopping by to get selfies standing by it, great idea though,in less than a years tractor supply will probably have them for sale.

Great idea putting up the “cattle scratcher”. Your cattle, once they try it, will love it! Then you’ll have a line of cattle waiting to use it! 👍👍

You have a place for everything!! You are totally amazing and that was so kewl to see the bull use it . I also saw Callie licking a cow and the cow licking her!

I love how the other cows where looking what rivet did😂❤

Each dead fly is one more that won't reproduce!! BTW l really like your ''this is what we're going to talk about today'' intro.

Tyler you're one helluva man ! Appreciate your sharing young fella.

That sweeper post looks like it’s going to get a lot of use.

Dish soap and water is a stable for me around here. So useful for nuisance bugs

Just had to use a reciprocating saw to cut some treated post too. Broke the pull string on my chain saw.

Makes a great scratching post for a few years until the bristles start falling out

I could watch cows scratching on the brush all day!

Ooowww 110K subscribers and growing!!! YAY 🎉

FTR, congratulations on hitting 110k subscribers mark.‼️‼️

Great job and I love the blue X-Mss tree lol it is going to work great for the cows. Thanks for sharing and Have a nice safe day!!

Always pleased to follow your compassions, your intelligence and your ambition‼️

Good Morning, Tyler and Callie! Finish dissembling the Fence! Revet likes the Scratching Post! Great Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Outstanding day, There's a whole lot of scratching going on.

How cool and they so appreciated your effort...your bull and cows love you!

Your grandpa would be so proud of you.

Thanks for sharing. God bless.

awesome, and yes - it looks like a Christmas tree

Nice use of the street sweeper brush the fly sprayer looks like it is doing its job thanks for sharing Tyler

Good job with the scratching post, but I can't wait to see Rivetor's calves and of course when his steers go off to harvest.

Great video! Couple things. That would make some back scratcher if you get an itch and can't reach it. Also those posts that are rotten you should have a family bon fire some cool eve. And your family can roast hot dogs and make smores.

Like always you put your brain to the rest and that back scratcher things amazing the bull is proof. Good job.

I had a friend who was a mechanic for the city decades ago and I could get these sweeper brushes for free. I would get 3 of them a couple times a year. I started doing exactly this with them. Cows use them, but horses LOVE them which is great because a cow will scratch on a fence but a horse will *lean* on fences causing them to fall over. Even goats will scratch on them. BTW, the different colors represent different coarseness of the bristles and they last years

You made the day count. Very good use for brush. Good watch

Great video loved watching every bit of it. I got the biggest kick out of Rivet on the scratch Pole, I think that's going to be a real big success! 🌞🌻

14:34 haha! That’s GREAT 😂❤ And Callie looking up at Riveter at the end❤too cute!!

love the intros, great editing

Life = small, satisfying projects and a few large ones (fencing project). Thanks for showing us your ranch improvements: big n small, FTR. I agree with another commenter there will be a rush on brushes! I’m certainly sharing the idea with Bjornn Black Angus in Idaho - my sisters small herd.

Awesome job with the scratching post. They will love it

Awesome idea Cows are really like it Thank you for the video

Look at the brisket out on that bull wow😊

The cows must be so much happier without all the flies making them miserable! Great idea!!!!

Lot's of Happy Happy 🐂🐃🐄

It looking nicer already. And good idea for a cattle rub. Smart. That fly spray is doing the job no harmful chemicals.

Ha, a scratching post...feels so good!

Excellent video as always!

Riviter: " No BS ladies...this really works!!!". 😂

If you use sand instead your post won 't rot. And will hold up like concrete. Construction co 20 years then engineering. My dad put sand on some of his post and concrete on the rest. After 30 years the post in sand are still strong. We had to replace poles with concrete water sets and rots the post in time. Just a thought for you to give it a try if you want. Just food for thought.

Good job guys

Another great video

Great idea there Tyler they will enjoy the heck out of it

Farmer tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

Pile some dry loose sand around the base of that scratching post and it should drop into the space created when the cows push on the post. Or hammer in 2 x 2 wegdes to tighten the hole.

OH THAT BULL!!!!

I think the cows were wondering what the heck you were doing lol❤❤❤❤

Great idea! Your cattle will enjoy thier rub. I was thinking while you were installing, you may have to dig around it and concrete around it. The cows will be hard on it too. Another great video, keep 'em coming.

You’re living my dream Tyler It’s a real pleasure watching your channel

Good afternoon Tyler

One thing leads to another, good job Love your family

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

Enjoyed watching the video Tyler

Great video as usual the brush will do a great job for the cows .

I put at lest 3 in the area. Pu.t post vary deep in the ground with cement. the heavy rains that we've been having loosened up the poles. they will fight over the brush.

Nice job on the fly sprayer :) maybe if you have a piece of heavy duty pipe (oil pipe lol ) you could put one in the ground and put a flat plate welded to hold that brush up :) always enjoy your videos!

Thank you for sharing.

I watch a channel, in addition to yours, called Cross Timber Bison out of Oklahoma. Most of the bison have ratty looking fur. I am going to share your idea with them. Bison are curious like cows so I think they will love it!

Morning FT! I’ve never seen a cow rub like that. It’s very cool. I’m hoping they get to enjoying it, it’s a good idea tho. As always enjoy watching your vids. And dead flies are a great plus! God bless!❤❤

So your grandad already had a Natural Fly Spray !

Thanks for sharing farmer tyler ranch I enjoyed the video and I hope you have a great weekend
