I never realized how beautiful the desert could be until I started watching your videos! The breathtaking view, the beautiful flowers & the vastness of the desert are kind of spellbinding! I hope the cows stay where they belong better than they did last year in Colorado. You guys did a lot of fence fixing up there🥴 Thank you for another awesome video & the work that you put in to share your lives with us. God Bless

Excellent recap! Some of those “roads” you drive on are scary! So glad I found your channel. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Gail, see you next week

God is so good look at all the beauty in the land he made. ❤😊

Wild cow alfalfa, learned something new about desert feed. I never get tired of the desert blooms. Surprisingly stunning every one...keep educating us on desert feeds. So much more to learn...❤

Please do!

Shawn & 1880 Drifter’s loved toe video today. The recap of the winter made shiver at the snow rides. Can only imagine what it felt like that day. My biggest regret since my bout with COVID in 2020 is it put me on O2 24/7. It took away the wife and our plans of traveling back up to Utah. We can’t go like we wanted and planned at retirement. But I am so blessed to still be here and we both thank God for it. Sorry! It is so beautiful up there and I love all of your posts. Have a blessed week ❤️❤️❤️

Heading to greener pastures! I will say that I really like that desert country. It's so different from any of the areas around here. That desert has so much baron land and yet there is beauty in it. Thx for all the great videos, fellas! Sure do enjoy them. Take care.

Good tribute Colorado here we come there’s just something about breathing that high mountain Colorado fresh air.

Wonderful as always! Great music, super videos and lovely to share your family moments , thank you all❤️

I looked up the plant you asked about and it is called roundleaf buffaloberry. It is a species of bullberry. Apparently it has berries on it that early settlers would make a sauce with to put on buffalo meat! It only grows on the Colorado Plateau.

That is crazy, saddle tramp also identified it. That is the first time I have heard of that plant. Thanks for looking that up for us, and thanks for watching.

Those plants appear to be a kind of buffalo berry. Thank you for the video.

Having grown up in a multigenerational family of farmers and cattlemen, I’m always interested to know the origin stories of how you and your family got into the cattle business? I bet everyone would enjoy the details. Thanks in advance!

Great Video...except cleaning the cow...that gives me smell vision from doing it myself...LOL !!! Love the GREAT Views !!!

If you cannot find all your cows how do you know whether or not a predator has eaten it? The desert is really a pretty place. Love the intense colors of the flowers. Thank you for showing us the flowers and everything else the desert has.At least the one you use. So now what do you get to do? Take a well deserved vacation?

Hi Helen, I wish we could, but we start right in out in Colorado. We will explain more about that next week in our video. We keep very close books on our cows. We know that we are out 5 cows, that are still on the desert. We will be looking for them starting tomorrow. Most of the time we find them, but sometimes we don't. It is not very often that we have a Predator kill a cow, most of the time it is sickness or old age. But we don't rest until we find them all. Thanks, see you next week

Boy I'd miss the desert area too it's so Beautiful 😍 Enjoyed all the scenery plant 🥰

Been enjoying your videos enjoyed this one but don't leave us hanging with nothing for the whole summer LOL looking for the next week's video what goes on around the ranch

We are jumping right in out in Colorado, so it won't slow down any. This week we are going to try to find some of our missing cows. We have a lead on one of them that is a chronic runner, so I am taking dogs in the morning to see if we can get her. So hopefully next week will be a great video. Thanks for watching

Long live cowboys and the lifestyle! We love you! 🤠❤️

The Paint horse really stands out on your videos. Do you guys ever butcher one of your cows to eat? Jaden the calf wrestler. You guys could get a muffler for your mics to help cut down on the wind when you guys are filming. Do you guys breed your horses? Do you guys do horse training as well, like Colt Starting and things after the horse is started?

Hey Ty, good to hear from you. Hope your surviving the heat down there. We do raise our own beef to eat. We have several feeder steers each year. We do have mics but it is such a pain to wear them all the time, that we just leave them home!!! We get most of our Colts from Black Diamond Ranch. Kenny Black has a top notch breeding program and we love his horses. We are always riding colts and have 2 that we are starting now. Take care

Hi Noah, we tag them when we brand them. In order for us to get a brand inspection to go into Colorado, everything has to be branded and Tagged. Thanks for watching.

Hope you guys have a great summer in Colorado. How many mother cow do you guys run? As much fence as you fix in Colorado I have a tool that is the best for repairing fence I have ever used , called Texas fence fixer, think it would help you .
