Weaning calves - "Kinda like people used to do with their kids." Hilarious!

that was my fav part of this video as well! I love my kids but they know well and hear often that I'm counting down the days till they are 18! They think it is funny but I know they will all be ready to move out by the time they are 18-22!

Hi I'm Karnataka, India I moved from Bengaluru city to a remote village here 3 years ago. I own a family cow, jersey and her heifer. I have been watching your videos since a couple of weeks now. I love your farm, love that it's built as per requirement and not very heavy investment like other farms that I have seen on KZread. Here in India cattle are reared only for dairy and there is no beef industry as such because cow slaughter is illegal here. So dairy is just a side hustle or a hobby for a few people like me.

I love the brockle faces! The brave bossy cow at 2.55 was great, she wanted back OUT! I bet weaning day is always quite loud.

That comment of being surprised how many cow noticed and looked at the camera surprise ME. Growing up milking cows the old fashioned way I was surprised on how few noticed it. Cats have nothing on a cow's curiosity!

Thank you yes mine works pretty good but part of it is the cows know how it works too, the older ones anyway. Just remember when sorting, cows naturally want to go back out the way they came in. Sometimes you can use that to your advantage. Good luck tomorrow and thanks for watching!

Thank you Brendan! That’s what I shoot for

My uncle always weaned by the sign. When the sign was in the heel it was calf weaning time. And to be honest there was a lot less bawling than another guy I knew who said. The sign was right when he had time. But 50-60 bawling cows and calves could get on your nerves if you had barn duty during that time.

The dust made me cough!

Great Video Tyler! Thank you for sharing. Blessings my friend

I am bad about watching over again, Better than watching news , It’s like being there, Thanks

I recommend gate training your cows it makes separating cows and calves much easier. It doesn't take long when you gate train them every time you feed them.

Can you explain gate training

Great vid. I don't know why, but my kids really enjoyed this one. When you mentioned that the cows kept noticing the camera, every time a cow would look at the camera my kids would laugh like crazy. Our cows once refused to go through a gate that they grew up around simply because the wheel was broken. I couldn't make them budge till I fixed it. I often wonder who's in charge...cows, kids, me...?

Thank you David! I get help with the bigger jobs but have to be able to do a lot by myself too. Thanks for watching!

I had once saw a video of wiening when calves had a small plastic piece in their nose so they could not nurse for a few days and separating cows and calves was effortless and not at all traumatic . None of the cows and calves cried. That is the way I would do it if I had cattle again.

they want to be the star of the show lol

Really enjoy everything you do, but the music really hurts . I usually mute and use cc

Do Weaning nose rings work for the stubborn cases??..

This may be a stupid question Tyler but why would a vet castrate a calf when they could put on the elastic instead? You do it the best way in my opinion.

@farmertylerranch4399

4 жыл бұрын

Not a stupid question at all. It’s actually a widely debated topic as to which way is better. I think they cut because it’s fast and 100% reliable. I like banding better myself

@keithmartin1627

My vet cuts. I once asked why? His reply. If I cut I get 100% accuracy, if I band there always a chance they’ve pulled one testicle up into her abdominal and you have a bull not a steer.

I wish your music was not so load, have to turn it down and then back up to hear you. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.

Not really sure. She’s always had a pretty poor body condition yet she always breeds and raises a decent calf. Over the last few years she sadly has been going downhill little by little. If she’s comes up open this year she will be culled. But such is life on the ranch. Thanks for watching!
