  • If you wonder why ranchers take the calves away from the cows when they are only 8 months old, this video will answer that question.
    Separating cows from calves is one of the final steps in a year of Montana Ranching.
    Real cattle ranchers only get paid once per year. That is at shipping time in the fall.
    The calves are weened on the same day they are shipped. It is a stressful but rewarding day in a Montana ranchers life.

    To those who think its mean to separate calves from their moms: It is necessary, the calves are old enough to eat on their own. With winter coming on, the mommas don't need to be using their strength making milk. They need to be in good shape to make it through the winter. Its better for both the cow and the calf, especially in a cold winter climate. If you left them together, the calf is more likely to wind up motherless anyway as the cow may not make it through the winter. As to the separation, they get over it in a few days.

      Yep thats correct. People also have an issue with the tappin the cows on the butt to get/keep em moving. It is literally next to nothing for the animal. They move off pressure. The tapping is more about noise and putting pressure on them. In no way does it hurt the cow. At all.

    My new Favorite CZcams channel it's about real life some never experienced. There's nothing better than the great outdoors and Ranching is not what some think, it's a 24/7 365 day in day out. If you don't think Ranchers like this are the true backbone of America that's OK. Without Ranching we become vegetarian and I don't do no meat for me.

    I know absolutely nothing about cattle or ranching but I LOVE this channel. So glad I found it. There is something so calming and soothing about it. From the cows mooing to the sound a leather saddle makes. In this tech savvy automated world it really is great to go back in time to how our great grandparents lived in the 1800s. The GO PRO or whatever Trinity uses when he’s riding makes you feel like YOU are on the horse. So cool.

    You all make working all those cattle look easy. The first cow we got we were clueless. It was New Year’s Day evening. It was dark cold and raining. Everything was so muddy we couldn’t get our trailer to the pasture so I not having a clue though I would just unload her and the calf and walk her back. She was halter trained after all….. NOT! Lol. She came out of that trailer like greased lightning dragging me behind like nothing. We chased her for miles up and down the main road for hours. She even got hit by a car and never even slowed down. I eventually was able to get the halter rope tied to our suv and then to our tractor to lead her back home. An experience I’ll never forget. We still have the cow.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Here in Australia, we call a ranch like this a ‘cattle station’, and I have worked on a few in my younger years. The first time I was involved in weaning the calves on a property I was working on, the hands I was working with left a a cow and calf in the yard as the last pair to be separated. Then the boss casually, suggested that I move that old cow out of the yard so they could get the calf in the pen with the others. I was a bit green at the time, so I didn’t realise they were setting me up. Apparently this old cow, was notorious for her bad temper, and when I walked toward her waving my arms to try and move her, she just pawed the ground once, and proceeded to send me over the fence. I was pretty careful after that.

    How different is what you're doing to separate them. When we were separating Roosevelt elk (wapiti) we ran herds through a purposely made barn and pushed them them through one by one into a "crush" to also give them any shots, like Ivermectin, etc
    Then the little ones were put in a special field with green alfalfa hay (cut early)
    This, though, is so spectacular. I just love it !
    By the way...

You got nothing on ol' Paul when he come with his semi to move our cattle to the south place. He didn't abide any stragglers did ol' Paul. Load 'em up quick, he did. Called them all sorts of names.

    Some of the ranches stated using the weaning rings in the caves noses. It’s just a temporary plastic ring that slides on, it don’t hurt the calf at all and they can stay with mom till the day before you ship. When the calf attempts to nurse the ring block them from latching a test. Seems to promote better weight retention and the are not bawling all week long. So you actually get to sleep that week or two till they ship.

    I see you’re using paddles to move the cattle. I used to haul cattle out of Montana back in the late 70’s & 80’s and used hotshots to help load them on the semi’s. Don’t they let you use them anymore? Just wondering….

    • @x8liter226
      @x8liter226 Před rokem +1

      The paddles seem more effective when working the bigger groups of cattle and for sorting. For chute work and loading, a hotshot has it's use. These cows get loaded on semis several times a year so they rarely need the motivation to load. And the calves tend to load well too. But hotshots are still allowed.

    Hey Trinity, Are these calves going to an auction house or a grower? Also, another thing are you getting paid per pound or per animal when selling your calves?

    I've seen cattle prods used but what are the orange rattles called? Reminds me of a rattlesnake's rattle.

    I have friends in SD..real cowboys, they do everything on horseback, they don't sort in pens on foot with sticks.
