I'm so glad Buddy is staying. You are a kind and caring cattleman taking such good and extra care of your cows. Yay
It's about time Buddy got some 'air time' 🐂,I miss seeing him😍. Hope Mrs Tyler and the baby is doing fine
Buddy got hit by a car. You can see the whole story if you go back through the archive.
It was such a blessing to see you this morning my favorite CZcamsr... my favorite I'm going to watch this two more times thank you for putting your videos out early in the morning...I sure hope you all get rain soon...hope the wife an baby are doing well... please don't forget the wasps nests... you're not going to like it one day...thanks for your quality videos Tyler...
@@guyapeterson that was Sadie. 😓 Buddy is the pet cow he is petting in the video
@@allysonh6410 Oh, yeah, you're right. I guess I don't remember my FTR episodes so well...
Always interesting to see you work the cattle by yourself.
Thank you for being so kind to your animals. Not like most farmers, I have been around. I am an old 77-year-old lady and have done almost everything from fertilizing Christmas trees to being a volunteer firefighter to a chemical dependency nurse. Your grandpa would be so proud of you. I applaud you. Your wife and daughter are so lucky to have you. Great series and hope it will continue to be the best. I have always wondered why some farmers can be so cruel. These are intelligent critters and deserve to be treated well. Thanks again Bunny from Ocean Shores, Wa
Videos like this are great, how culling is decided is really interesting since that's something us non-farmers don't usually see!
That was a great video. It was loaded with lots of thoughts behind your decisions and your follow through on those choices. Thanks for consistently sharing your vast knowledge. It is so obvious how much you love raising cattle. Your channel is high on my list of favorites. I also love Sandi Brock’s channel. She and her are from Canada and work together on their Shepherd Creek Farm growing grain (mostly Mark) and raising market lambs (mostly Sandi). Another one of my favorites on CZcams is Eric from10the Generation (Dairy) farm. He and his dad work together. Their relationship is heart warming teamwork.
Great video as always Tyler, try mixing a few drops of dishwashing soap mix with water stir until you gets suds for the Wasps . The suds takes the oxygen out of the air and it kills the wasps on contact. A lot cheaper than wasps spray
I just landed on your channel a few weeks ago and have been binge watching your videos. I'm not a farmer and very far from it. But I have to say, for someone who runs a ranch by himself you have a great attitude. You are not afraid to just jump into work whether you have done it or not
Really commendable. Your work never ends and you never complain about it. Love your videos and have learned a lot. Keep em coming!
Hello to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too. I hope the calf eye gets better. You are going to miss them once they leave . 😊 thanks a lot for sharing and everyone stay safe. See you on next Farmer Tyler Ranch
:)
Hello!
Thought you were going to break an ankle when you stepped off the walkway onto that block! Never tried the powder. We use the spray and antibiotic injection. Hadn’t heard of using salt on pinkeye…not sure I could do it either. I complain myself when I get salty sweat in my eyes on a hot day! Excellent culling explanation for the cows going to market.
He said it worked on cats and dogs also great news
Just one little comment because I really understand your situation as a one man band,but early detection and treatment is the name of the game with Pinkeye !If treated early enough with Antibiotics maybe some powder and a patch over the eye you never would know she ever had it!Great Video keep them rolling in!!🐄🐖🐓🐩
Great videos!, I ranch here in SD…I know neighbors have had vets come and take a culture of their pink eyed cattle
and the vet makes a vaccine going off that eye culture results, they said it’s turned things around for them
Yes I’ve heard of them doing that. Wonder what they charge?
@@farmertylerranch4399 hey Tyler, last I knew, Swinging Udders Vet (near Galt/Lodi) works with UCD to make vaccine derived from cultures taken in our local area. I've not used that vaccine personally but have good luck with pink eye vaccines like Moraxella 8, Vision 20/20, or Ocugard.
@@farmertylerranch4399Ranch-Way to much fix it yourself
You are so nice to your cows. That makes me happy.
So now we have the FTR treatment regimen for treatment for bovine pink eye that was freaking awesome
Love your very informative vlogs. Pinkeye is a problem. Thanks for explaining all that. Good stuff to know.
Best shovel to dig those thistles out is a transplant shovel. The blade is narrower than a spade shovel, and is designed to go down, and as much of the root as possible. (Sold at TSCs ,and plant suppliers)
Great video Tyler, Don't forget to take care of those wasp nest, I had to get rid of a nest today also. Stay safe my friend!!
Those cheap cans of wasp spray are great they shoot about 20 feet. I as my kids do keep a can in the car for protection from roaming no goods
Hey I’m glad you know what your doing, you know I’ve seen people who can’t even put an ear tag on the cows ear like are you kidding me I learnt to do that before I was four. Any way keep going on with you perfect work thank you Tyler.😀
Third generation farmer
I appreciate that thank you!
@@farmertylerranch4399 your welcome I’m so glad you saw my comment it’s all a twelve year old could ask for. If it’s ok could you give me a shout out seeing my channel only has a few subscribers?
Nice video Tyler! Your cattle are looking great. Thank you for sharing:-) Stay safe and healthy:-)
Tyler here in Missouri I treat pinkeye with a shot of Draxxin it just takes 10 cc for an 1100 pound cow it will clear them right up i just dart them don’t even have to catch them
What do they charge for Draxxin in Missouri? It’s really expensive here!
@@farmertylerranch4399 it’s about 3.75 per cc
You have to buy it a 100 cc bottle at a time and that’s with a 100 dollar rebate
I worked at a cemetery I used pour a little gasoline or diesel on the eye the thistle when the were close to the ground. Worked great.
Tyler, we are all fans of buddy! Great vid sir!
You videotaped that just fine with what you were dealing with. Good job
Another awesome day with ya, your so kind to your animals. What a great surprise ending..can't wait!!! ..👍😎
I have the answer
Good reasoning and tough decisions, that s Ranching. Bottle calf is looking great. Thanks Tyler from the southern shores of Georgian Bay.
Tyler looks like you have a pet out of one of your cows 😆 lol it's hard not to do .
Darlene from Ohio 🇺🇸❤️
Safety & happyness to you& your family.
Watch to the very end! A puppy is coming!
Buddy repays his debts with love
Yes I suppose!
I would guess most of us have a Pasture Pet or two........ Glad you go the new drone, nice aerial pictures.
Tyler, you can take a bucket of soapy water and throw on the wasp to kill them! Lots more safe than wasp spray and gets them all at once.
I had a huge mama cow that threw big calves.....she died and left a calf that she wouldn't let us tag. We named the calf "No Tags"....she had her growth stunted but I decided to see if we can get her though that first pregnancy.....the extra love she received has kinda made her our version of "buddy" lol.
Buddy's such a handsome lad with a beautiful nature. I miss him too 😔😔🌿🌹🌿
"Hey ima need you to quit talking and come take care of me?!!" 🐂 Lol
If you wanna spot stray your weeds get like a windex bottle and mix ur round up and with the jug in 1 hand and a rubber glove on the other to spot spray that’s what we do with the clover in our certified alfalfa crops works great we used to spade the cover out but the spray bottle works way easyer and faster
Is pink eye contagious for cows like humans? Love how you care for your animals and, number or not, you know every one, pretty cool!
AWE! So nice to see Buddy again! Glad he is a "pet" & is still around. Sorry you had to cull so early, though. God Bless
Great ending Tyler, can't wait. You're going to be happy with that choice 👌
The only problem with using the shotgun approach with 3 different antibiotics to treat a single infection, is that you're increasing the bacteria resistance factors. Not usually a wise decision unless you are dealing with a major complex infection.
Hope you get a good price for the cattle. Always enjoy your videos.
Your videos are so educational for me. Thanks 😊
Glad to see I’m not the only one who sorts cattle on foot by myself
Another good video, after treating the animal we often use tag glue and denim to patch the infected eye to keep the flies off it and less pain for the animal by keeping the light out too.
Good to get some cash flow going from the culls!
Nice, you're getting a new puppy. Hope you get a good fence - I just rescued a great dane; not a good cattle dog but he is a good dog.
A. very good explanation of pink eye..good job .
I was thinking, What no! Not Buddy! Lol
Thanks for sharing. Love watching.
Take you an old pair of jeans and cut a 8 by 8 in square and in the center of it put the powder Puffer powder about a quarter inch deep and the size of a quarter take some penicillin and mixed with it about probably 4 cc's, take the same glue that the livestock Yeardley uses on the tags on their back and put around the perimeter of the jeans material and put that over the bad eye and leave it there time will take it off the medicine will heal the eye and the sunlight will not continue to damage it or irritated la200 is great but you have to give it like every 2 or 3 days for 3 days Ford to do probably any good and you should keep the cow up separate from the herd she will spread it period and try to catch it earlier if you see an eye on the cow that looks different than the other eye it will look usually a little glassy or just lazy then trade it for the pink eye because that's what it's going to be you can count on it
As always, I truly enjoyed your knowledge and sharing. I'm excited for your family on the news.!!
Next video: Arm & Hammer mixed w/water for the wasp stings. Be careful and use a wasp spray from a distance. Like your vids.
Yay! A yellow lab!!!
The cows look great! Hard to see some of them go, but it’s gotta be done. I have to say, I was shocked when it looked like Buddy was going to be one of them. 😂 Great job with culling and eye treatment, Tyler.
Hey did you see they're getting a new puppy?!! 🐶🐕🥰🙌watch the end
@@allysonh6410 Yes! I did see that. 💕🐶
@@nadeenflynn9673 haha! I'm excited. Will be a huge help I think
Great video. Babies and puppies, the chaos ensues. This will be fun to watch.
Yes Farmer Tyler , there is pink eye in the East.
Great job Tyler... now your herd will be stronger
I would love to see the process of the auction after you bring them to market !!!
Here in Kentucky la 200 doesn't work at all with our new strain. I use Draxxin. Five bucks a cc but 10 would do that cow. It last for up to two weeks and works quickly. That cow needed doctoring a few days earlier. Draxxin has worked very good for me so far. 👍
Interesting to see you work your herd.
Ah man! 13. That's a bummer. I see your reasoning though. Hopefully she'll sell to a breeding farm. Glad you kept Hank though! I think I would have cried with that one.
She weighs closer to 1100 than 950, Bro.... but you got her Treated. Hereford Cross brings a lot of good, and unfortunately 1 potentially negative trait.... A anyway, there's 3 things I hate..... Thistles of any Species, whether Bull Thistles or the Musk Thistles.....Red Wasps....and Pinkeye.... Greetings from Arkansas, Ozark Mtns... Saludos desde eSpringdale BuenGente!!!!😉😉😉😉
I have seen spraysome la200 Into the eye also with the shot .
Thank you for sharing your reasoning. Enjoyed the video as usual.
Nice video as always!
There will be a doggy! Good! God Bless FTR.
Great videos and love your music
I’ve started putting iodine crystals in my powdered minerals last few years we’ve had lots of cases of pink eye since I started using the crystals so far hasn’t been an issue it also prevents foot rot.
?
Thanks Tyler, as usual, another great video! Cull cow $’s were up in my area so hope that is the case for your market too. The cows looked really good, fat and sassy, good luck at the sale yard. Had to laugh at the steer trying to stay as a freeloader on the ranch. Congratulations on the upcoming addition to the ranch🤩.
Thank you Robyn!
In the UK we call pink eye , New Forest disease
Selling stock is the hardest part of being a Cowman.
Awe buddy ❤️
Feeling blessed that I havent had to deal with pink eye here in texas.
good looking herd this year
On that thistle you pulled out with your shovel.... Wouldn't you be better off carting those plants out of the pasture and throwing them on your garbage pile. If it has flowers, then seeds do develope and leaving them in the pasture will allow them to propagate.....only my opinion....
Get em Doc! Eaglegards...
Hey Tyler, I use a stand up weeder by Fiskars. It pulls out the whole root and is so much easier to use. Especially on thistles. It is my favorite tool.
I’ll have to look that up thank you!
Always sad, just reality on the ranch. 🙂👍
I’m Mrs Forgetful. So for example if I need to put some wasp spray out by the wasps nest I email myself or you mentioned in this video as soon as you get back to the shop put it the side by side. I forgot what other ideas I had to help me remember stuff
I want to see the Bulls, I hope they do their Job good ✌️
Can you get pink eye from a cow?
Love watching your videos. Take care Farmer Tyler!
The pink eye humans get is different thank goodness!
If you spray the thistles with Grayzon or 2-4D it will kill only the thistles/weeds and not effect the grass around it.
no fair i wanted to see you chase cows lol hugsssssss
# 13 oh nooooooo she is a fighter and Houdini i like her lol
Do you ever think about selling them as freezer beef? That's what we try to do as strictly as possible. Gives us secure price and we make more on every single one we butcher and sell versus live on the hoof
Yeah you can certainly get more for them that way but with cows this age all they are really good for is hamburger and it’s tough to sell that much hamburger!
Yay Hank!!
Don't feel bad..thats a trailer load of problems gone down the road.
Nice video!
Thistle is one of my pet peeves. I stop every time I see some and with my foot I make it look like the scare crow on the Wizard of oz after the monkey scene.
Doesnt kill the root
@@nursebunny7420 but it makes my very happy 😁
11:28 ♥️🙌
Yes seen it tk you
Mate have you used the pink eye spray my mate uses that powder it seems painful i dont see that with the spray sometimes you miss and give them blue eye surrounds but it works its a good way to know what cow youve done
Puppy time
Collect thistles to stop them seeding if they have flowers on.
Just remembered you have mice but never get any barn cats. Just the smell has the mice and rats runnung.
Try dairy dry cow tubes on the eye
Thanks 😊
Did you know that you can get glyphosate gel ,and all you do is use a little roller and roll the plant ,this way nothing else gets covered ,
good job man good video made some good choices
Hey Tayler, my boy just stared a kids you tube can you help share it? The farm life at the Shumakers. Thanks keep making great videos
Buddy has a job......Lead Steer.
Should try splitting your pasture with a hot wire and just slow graze. Use 2-4d lv6. Or pasture pro. I do cut a lot out, but sharpen your spade.
When you show the field with the cow's in it you can see a ridge at equal distance what are they? Looks like most of what cows are going were Angus and now you're herd looks to be
Mostly the brown or white faced I have heard Angus cow's are a little hard to handle sometimes do you find that also
