That was the best blooper reel ever!
diatomaceous earth is what we've used for 30+ years to treat all the animals on the ranch. We apply with a hand duster for our smaller critters, & use a python dust bag hung near the water trough for our cattle and mules. Old Montana secret that works every year.

I use DE on all my animals, and in feed for a natural wormer. It works great. Plus people can use it to, but if you have used it that long you already know that. 👍🏼

@MikeBarnes I love DE, I recently discovered my goats have lice and purchased a de product from Amazon for farm and animals so I have applied this on them. I’m still not seeing results. How long does it take?

Andrea I put DE on the ground where the goats are. I wanted to see how well it worked on keeping them wormed. My vet has been a vet for over 50 yrs. I took samples for him to test from everyone of the goats. He said in all the time being a vet he had never seen animals completely free of parasites. I’m sold on DE.

Well deffinetley a part of having a hurd of cows animals in general but your doing great sir you take care Godbless and stay safe
Your music never gets old!!! Stoney Ridge Faaaarm!!! lmao
Get used street sweeper brushes the big back plastic ones then stick a post in the ground leave enough sticking up to side the brush over vertical. Spray Garlic and onion in a liquid form soak garlic and onions in warm water them blend it up strain then spray on. If it didn’t work at least you got a head start in marinating them.
Great video Josh! Keep em coming!
It's been a good week for vlogs!
I have contracted scabies from cattle simply by walking around a trough. My cattle dog got it too. It is very hard to eradicate. Scabies is a mite. It takes pyrethrins to get rid of it. And ivermectin tablets help too.
Great video Stoneyman we love watching your videos buddy god bless you and your family

Thanks for the information on the infestation and several options for treatment. That cracked me up when you were talking to the cows 😂😂 Take care Whooo!
Rather than have them scratch against something hard, look into getting a cattle brush for each of your fields. You can get them mounted to a pole driven into the ground or with a swivel that lets the cows get to those hard to reach spots.

Good video nice looking cattle take care
Enjoyed the video as always. I used neem oil last winter but I put it on after the herd was infested. This winter I plan to apply it sooner. I used a spray bottle and just walk through the herd spraying. I don't recommend spraying their faces though. Funny how atv's attract the cows, I have the same problem. Ever seen a cows unscrew the lid on a bottle of iodine with their tongue? lol
Thank you, thank you thank you, for your knowledge 👍
Great video Josh 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO!
Hi..... Thank you 🏡🎥👍👍👍
The blooper reel was my favorite!!!!!
Interesting. I’ve also heard that rotating pastures helps with the parasites in general by letting them die off, basically they go through a lifecycle or two with nothing in the pasture and die off.
I had horses, usually used a spray on and if they lost some hair I rubbed bacon grease on the area and it grew right back!
I’ve used Neem oil on my vegetable gardens for years
If you have ever seen Tom Pemberton on KZread they got brushes for their cows that the farm uses for their cows. Great info about the brushes.
Now there’s one Mr. Suburbanite here never heard of. Lesson learned.
Josh your cows seem to be calm around you as were mine. I would spray them down as I walked around them for lice. In the summer I would also spray them to keep the flies off of them. Isn't farming great? 😂
Thanks Josh... you have me scratching. lol
Never heard the word holistic before in my life

Take a good care of cows, you are lucky because you are in around them .
Good info. I am not sure about neem oil on the stump, but I guess we'll see...it won't hurt. To my knowledge the neem oil needs to make contact with the pest and I can't see enough transference from the stump to the animal to be effective, but I don't know. Being that lice have a 3 - 6 week life cycle, you will need to do multiple treatments of neem oil, DE, etc to catch through the cycles. But yes, the first rains and warmer temperatures will remove the problem. AND....LOL on the blooper reel!
I never new this thanks for the information Josh. Just curious how many cows do you have now?

Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and always learning something new from you but you forgot to mention there was one more remedy diatomaceous Earth that's the one
It's normal and it's best to address it with what the vet recomends to get rid of them.
Eprinex drench in February will make sure you don't have a lice problem, it also will stay on in the rain, and take care of internal parasites. It does mean you have to run your cattle through the chute.
We see lice in the winter. Nice cattle!
We used to use used motor oil which has sulfur in it
The blooper reel 😂
I will be posting my first video on my channel later today. I had to call some of my roosters. If you want to check it out.
I'd spray the areas with mineral oil. I know swabbing a cat's ear get rid of ear mites. Lice and mites don't like mineral oil. Neither do the worms that get into the silks of the corn husks👍

Great bloopers C'mon!!
Did the vet prescribed topical (solution/shampoo/dusting powder form) permethrin or its derivatives, malathion, piperonyl butoxide, or carbaril (carbaryl) for lice?
My vet says it is a bad winter for lice, they live in the bedding also and since animals bed down more in winter they have more lice, plus they have that long coat of fur for the lice to hide in.
Very informative video. do you have problem with ticks on your livestock !! if so how do you treat it.!! Thank you in advance #stoneyridgefarmer

Yep most farmer just thing they are shedding there winter coats off because that’s normally when you catch em but I always just let them work there own magic never really seen it get bad enough where it’s a big problem but your correct it stunts them guys just the stress of itching not really sure why.....and the ending that’s one reason I don’t have the patience for videoing 😂 you have 100 things to get done and not enough time and when you do have time to video something happens I gave up I have videos just never put em together because of lack of time and Mother Nature never ever wants to cooperate
STONEY RIDGE I have a question concerning curing hams. My dad and I are going to try our hand at it. I have ordered curing salt to use on the hams for 6 weeks like your video suggested. We are going to use plastic bins and put the salted hams in them and inside an old refrigerator for six weeks. My dad had a question about drainage from the bins??? As in should he drill holes in bins for blood and moisture to drain??? Or maybe put a good layer of salt on the bottom to catch the blood and moisture???
@StoneyRidgeFarmer
3 жыл бұрын
You'd be better suited to put them in wooden boxes ...not plastic bins. It's best to have them outside in the cool or cold so you get some temp fluxuation, I would not do it in a fridge...typically the hams stay in the salt in the coldest part of a Virginia winter....daytime 40 degrees...nighttime below freezing for only about 2-3 weeks in the salt

Lice and their host has evolved along with each other to the point where most lice species can only live on a particular animal, that animal goes extinct & usually so does that specie of lice. Humans are rare mammals having bodies mostly hairless that we can have Two different species of lice living on different areas. Head lice and pubic lice (often called "Crabs").
Wonder what would happen if you threw out a big canvas ball for them to play with. We only had a few cows growing up but the cows and horses both seemed to enjoy playing with it, eventually it will get tore up. Gma and Gpa would get them a new one every year or two, or hide it for a while and give it back to them and the LOVED it. If you run across one Josh, maybe toss it out and see if they mess with it....? It was cheap entertainment for us kids lol.

We had a few tires that someone put next to a brush pile. Those tires got scattered all over the field. I’m not sure where they ended up. Cattle are more playful that they look.
Borax
We have an infestation of jerkworms. The live under our gravel driveways and “jerk” the gravel down. They are worse when it’s been as wet as it has been.
The only thing I didn't hear you say is 'treat all your cows with the insecticide once.' Then isolate and treat any additions to your herd before you allow them to touch your already treated herd. Kill the lice once. And then do not allow reinfection by outside animals by treating them before you allow them into your already treated herd.
WooooooooooooHeeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeeee!!!Alright!!!!🤗

Love your channel. Have watched several. 7:26 A little disappointed with this one. Don't know how to put this politely. But would you mimic a Black or Gay man to his face? This is a public forum, and not all of your subscribers use sunscreen in the summertime. It matters little what your intentions were. Try telling your wife she's overreacting. More importantly, you've brought up the subject of race unnecessarily. Racism is a contentious issue most often left out of polite conversation. Racism does exist, and it's no card game. What you think about others matters a lot to you and the person you hold misconceptions about. It affects many decisions you make sometimes on a daily basis. Your misconceptions may cause you to hire the wrong person, sell your house for less than its worth, pay too much for your next home, or vote for policies that are not in your best interest. One day, you may feel guilt for the people you've hurt, whether it was intentional or not. Sorry, most of my family is conservative, and in some ways, I am too. So I know how you may feel about this feedback. PS, how are your cadmium levels?
Love the outtakes!
