Turning Bulls in with the Cows!

-Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.
To God be the Glory

    Damaris really seems excited about the garden. That is great. Always enjoy seeing cattle doing cattle things. Have been watching for less than a year so I am looking forward to turning the cattle out on the leases.

    Beautiful drone footage again Carson of some really gorgeous land. The bulls didn’t seem so sure of themselves going into the trailer but comping out their hormones started kicking in and they knew exactly why they were there. Nature, I love it. Hi Damaris, it’s always good to see you and baby Silas. Your garden is going to be so pretty and beneficial to your family. Can’t wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks. Thank God for the rain. Our panhandle finally got some substantial rains after 248 days without a drop. Over here on the east side got some soaking too. Prayers continue going up for rain for crops and grasses for the animals. Thanks for your and the family’s work helping to feed folks across the land. I’m thankful for all of you who do. And thanks for sharing.

    So when i was really young and I’d go out in the pasture with my dad to check cattle, if the bull was breeding, my dad just told me they were dancing. He said after seeing that happen a half dozen times checking cows, i came home and told my mom “that bull really likes to dance a lot”. SHe had no idea what i was talking about at first lol

    With newly bought and recently leased bulls, how do you determine sociability with people working with them. I imagine the bulls have reputations provided by sellers and leasing agents.
