this video lessens the trouble I have with beef prices in the store. Man....that's a LOT of work!!! AND dangerous too!

Yes, this is real life! On more than one occasion I would have come home after my second shift job as a nursing assistant, and there's a new born calf in the bath tub as the cow rejected it, 30 below and no cow to take it as she lost her calf. Sometimes we had to feed it. I smile inside when people tell me that their dream is to be a rancher or farmer. They have NO IDEA! 24/7, no time off and a vacation (?). What's that?

My wife’s family owns a cattle ranch in Northern California and this is so typical of a day in the life of a cattle rancher. Thanks Trinity and your doing a service showing this. The head rancher says that if he wins the lottery he will ranch until the money is gone and keep right on ranching. It’s about a way of life.

I live in Somers, MT. Years ago I was invited to hunt on a ranch on the East side. We slept in an old log cabin and had our meals in the ranch house. It was a wonderful hunt and experience, and we filled our tags for deer, elk and black bear. The rancher and his wife were in their late 60’s. Their kids had moved to California for jobs. A few years before, there had been drought and their hay wasn’t sufficient to feed through the winter. So, they had to sell some of their herd and mortgage the ranch to feed the remaining cattle. The year before we were there it happened again. Now their herd was smaller and they had more debt. They couldn’t service the debt and some outsider had bought their debt and was foreclosing. Though the rancher had been born on the ranch and inherited it, they were going to move to high country in California to manage a ranch. Their ranch was a beautiful place.

For so many its a beautiful and amazing lifestyle, others it's just about the almighty dollar. Sad, seems it would be better to at least allow them to do their ranch work as much as possible, maybe getting them some unpaid interns to learn the ropes, helping to turn it back into a productive ranch for maybe some other family in the future. My husband used to have a saying, it's better to make a slow dime than a fast nickel, but most want that fast nickel every time with no compassion, understanding, or care for anyone else.

Good, hard-working people. I had spent 3 years up in Montana while in the military, drove many miles around the state and never really knew just what was happening on all that land. Total respect for ranchers!

I've become addicted to watching these ranching videos. What i've come to understand is you have to be born into this and just plain like your life. Also, the meat i buy is just way to cheap for all the work that goes into it. Course i buy my beef whole or half and use a local farmer and local locker to keep my prices down. My addiction started with Anchor Brand Ranch. A family in Nevada raising cattle in a desert. Wonderful family. Tough job. I come from a farming background. Too many offspring and land prices keep climbing and little by little everyone went to work in factories and such. The land was sold and the family farm is gone. That's the history of most farms in this area. You have to get big to survive.

Love the attitude and work ethic of the wife.

I grew up in rural Kansas, but never really did any ranching, or farming, until I was an adult. The rancher I worked for, always joked around and gave me crap when I'd be a bit hyper aware while tagging calves. He was laying it on pretty thick one weekend about me bailing when a momma came a bit close and she was spicy. The next week, she rolled him up and put him in the hospital for a couple days. 1200 lb or so animals, are no joke.

The babies are ADORABLE! A while ago I found a baby cow in my great grandmas pasture. He was really dehydrated and not in good shape at all. We took him up to the field at my Mawmaw’s house and brought momma too. We bottle fed boots milk (momma wouldn’t let him sick and I’m thinking she was also clogged up) but was barely getting a half of bottle at a time. He couldn’t walk well at all unless someone was holding his back end up. The second day I could tell he was getting tired. We think he was starting to have seizures. His head would go all the way back and his eyes were cloudy. He would keep going up and down with his front leg. This all happened while he was laying down. He couldn’t comprehend how to walk anymore(with help). Even drinking 1/4 of the bottle was so hard for him. We didn’t want to make him suffer and we all knew it was time. Momma had let us mess with him up until this point. She charged at us and we knew that was her way of saying my baby is done. I didn’t blame momma for getting upset, that’s her baby. She was not a tame cow you can go up and pet and mess with so the fact that she trusted us to take care of boots means a lot. Sadly boots had to be put down. That was my first time experiencing a loss of a calf and it broke my heart for that baby and momma. I know he’s not in pain anymore so that does bring some comfort. It was so sad to think of momma coming back to where her baby last was and him not being there. When boots was alive and would holler all night. She didn’t know why her baby couldn’t get up. We all tried hard but out little baby boy didn’t make it

Hey this is pretty cool! I'm from the Great Falls area, worked in construction and ranching all my life. Good to see hard working locals! Keep it up!

Fascinating! My father grew up on a ranch in Eastern Cuba, in the foothills and plains. He started working at a very young age and shared a few stories of rising before the crack of dawn, mounting a horse and getting out there to mend fences and rassel cattle. It was definitely a hard life. That and the fact that I love Montana (when it’s not blistering cold) probably explains my fascination with your videos. Someday I think it would be fascinating for you to discuss the difference between cattle ranching in Montana and other parts of the country and also to compare with other parts the world, such as Argentina, which, of course, is also famous for its beef. Thank you! I enjoyed this video a great deal.

Really cool to see this. The work ethic on these folks is incredible. Farmers too. Its stuff most of us never have to think about but I'm thankful for the work y'all do. Thank you! 👍

I live in Boston in an inner city neighborhood. The rancher's way of life so intrigues me. God bless America!

This video was good as well as informative. About the dry milk replacer: you might try stirring it vigorously with a whisk or a stir stick ( like a painter). It might help the calf drink more of that formula.

Fantastic documentary! Truly demonstrates the devotion that entails with ranching

Love your videos - very educational.

Excellent video Sir!!!!

For City/town folk unaware, this prob looks romantic, fun, etc, but the conditions in this vid were ideal. It's not uncomfortable cold, no steam out of their mouths, not hot enough for flies or dust, not raining, slipping/trudging/driving around in mud, leaning up against wet/muddy cattle. Perfect weather. Re castration etc, there's also drenching for intestinal parasites, all these processes also happen with lambs (sheep), but they also have their tails shortened (docked). Hay is double the price than here in Western Australia (ouch).

Thank you, video was awesome. Would appreciate if you can do a tour of the ranch houses in montana. I saw one in the background in the first five minutes of the video.

Absolutely loved this video. Having been raised on a farm in the 1950's and '60's in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, ranching in the wide open plains of Montana has always been in my mind a wonderful, albeit' HARD way to make a living. Thank GOD for our Montana ranchers 'cause without them America as well as other parts of our World would get pretty doggoned hungry for beef. Vegans who claim to be vegan and don't really understand the literal definition of vegan depend upon America's Montana ranchers too. As Trinity explained in another video,, there are many, many thing 'so called vegans' use in their everyday life that comes from Montana beef cattle - they just don't know it. So,, before those who would diss Montana ranchers,, watch videos like these Trinity shares and understand that without these brave, mostly underpaid Montana ranchers and their families love for their ranch and their way of life - we'd be sunk! GOD BLESS all you ranchers,, behind the scenes we LOVE YOU!

Love the video!! Love the baldies.

God bless your families ! May God bring blessing upon your land and cattle. I mean it when I say this- praying for the farmers and their land and that God would restore the wealth for their faithfulness and hard work. You are blessings to millions. May God bless that back in multitudes. Glory to Jesus. Saying hello all the way from PA! Very grateful for the men and women on the ranch. God bless you all in Jesus mighty name.

Sometimes I catch these videos where a rancher will be dealing with a calf with an angry mom. His horse comes to his aid. Placing itself between the mom and the rancher and occasionally kicking out to drive her back a bit. First one I saw I couldn't believe it. I can't imagine going up against a mom cow with just a bat. I suppose though the calf will be well looked after with a mom like that though.

I guess every ranch is different, I haven't had a cow calf at night for as long as I can remember. Don't know if it's coincidence but I like it that way

This has always been my dream job. i was very briefly in FFA before we moved away so i never got to actually show the calf i was assigned. my high school had a class called Animal Biotech which was basically.... all of this lol catfish that we raised in ponds and a few pigs.. the "science of farming" ...and it was my first class of the day! i was in heaven. however the kids who sat next to me the rest of the day were probably in hell because there were many times I was dragged through cow shit or had slobber or some other smelly substance stuck to my shoe. There were a lot of opportunities to skip the entire day because I was always game to volunteer when it was time to do anything on the Ag Farm. I helped treat pink eye in the herd, spend a whole day cleaning fish for some FFA cookout (before I became a member) went on field trips to other farms including a hunting plantation (all those fancy bird dogs and pine forests!) i even stared a bull and his herd down when they were trying to escape..... i was sooooo thankful to God and all his angels that bull didn't call my bluff! i guess he thought i was crazier than he was if i was "brave" or stupid enough to stand in his way! And when I wasn't spending my school hours doing that I was spending my personal time and weekends riding horses or helping the landlord with his cattle or hunting or fishing. So many good times that just didn't last long enough. I was having way too much fun playing at being a rancher to get into trouble like all my friends...... I only have three cows at the moment... or actually i have a bull, a cow and their calf - who is now a steer. and goats, sheep, pigs etc. but wow i would love to work on a ranch like this. i wouldnt have to be paid. just throw a piece of steak in my direction at the end of the day and i'd be happy. My "farm" is big enough to sustain my family. i just wish I had two or three others like me who were as passionate. this stuff isn't easy to do on your own. i can hang barbwire and use a chainsaw.... i've learned that as long as you have good gates and fences one person can keep cows. but i'm disappointed that my family doesn't care. lol i bet i could sneak off to montana and start working on a ranch and not even be missed by anyone out here! I see and hear their worry. so many ungrateful mouths to feed, so much wasted unappreciated food.. so many greedy agencies skimming the cream off the top. those people don't realize the abundance we have in this country.

This was awesome the rancher and his wife nothing but respect
