    I was recently riding the Continental Divide Route on my motorcycle with a good buddy. We found ourselves riding directly into a HUGE storm as it was developing along the horizon. Remembering we had just passed a ranch, we turned around. Dave met is in the driveway and allowed us to seek shelter in his garage / shop building. Dave, thank you so much for your generous hospitality. Meeting you and visiting with you was one of the highlights of our 11-day trip. God bless.

    A Buddy of mine sent this vid to me. He lives in Crowheart, Wyoming. I've been wanting to get out there for years to see for my own eyes the "real" wonder of life before it is gone.
    God Bless the Ranchers of many generations for keeping food on our tables.

    There's a lot of so-called "cowboys" out there, where the closest they've ever been to a cow is standing in line at McDonald's. This is real stuff. Thanks for sharing.

    Here in Alberta,Canada I'm seeing that less people brand their calves than I used to see. The bigger cattle outfits still do but the smaller Mom and Pop outfits not so much. Here we have to use ID tags to identify where cattle came from.

    I'm a 20th generatio Nuevo Mexican. My ancestors were soldiers with Juan de Onate. They drove the first cattle and horses to NM in 1598! They started the first ranches, had the first rodeos, or roundups, and wrote the book on ranching and "cowboying". I was born and raised on a cattle ranch in northern NM. My grandfather and uncles were expert riders and ropers. They could do the figure 8, manganas and piales etc. with 80 to 100 foot ropes! They spoke of the mesteneros and mesteneras in our families in the 16, 17, and early 1800s when there were real Vaqueros! Nobody does that anymore and the media keeps it hidden; especially now with the anti-hispanic movement by the anglos. Too bad! Luciano Martinez

      Northern NM, my ancestors came here in 1598. I forgot to mention the Reata Larga throw. One of my uncles was a master at it; I did it 4 times on a grown animal and quite a few times roping afoot in a corral. It is one of the most difficult throws. Read about it in Joe Moras' book. I am too old to rope and ride any more.

    Ay that castrating methods a bit ruff , couldnt they use the rubber band method ?

    • @MsHillsdale
      @MsHillsdale Před rokem +1

      Many feel castration by knife if more humane. For example: Would you rather lose a finger tip quickly or have it slowly die and slough off. Also banding is less effective. Bands break. Then you're surgically castrating a much larger animal and that's really rough

    How do you protect yourself from the attack of your bulls?

    • @sandandstonemedia9739
      @sandandstonemedia9739  Před 2 lety +1

      You definitely have to watch out because every so often you'll have an angry one, and there are times when you need to jump out of the pen in a hurry. During the round-up however, the bulls are fairly docile as they follow the herd to the pens. The cowboys then separate the cattle and put all of the younger calves in one pen and the bulls in another so the bulls aren't nearby.

  • @myfriendoretheshepherd6618

    Have you Considered planting grasses that will grow in that environment and give nourishment to your cattle? It would be cheaper that bringing in alpha.

    • @GetGritty52525
      @GetGritty52525 Před 5 lety +1

      it is too expensive to do so, as far as i know we live not far from grant county and it looks the same here as it does in grant and we've had to sell out because of the drought and the fact that there really isn't an efficient inexpensive way to grow or feed hay to cattle on a large scale you can do it but some times based on you land its not even worth wasteing the time and money trying, we fed hay to our cows for a little while then it just got to the point where we were spending more money on hay for the cows then they were making for us, twice we have had to sell out

    • @frankedgar6694
      @frankedgar6694 Před 2 lety +2

      I live in Texas. For the last 100 years, folks have brought in grasses. Now something like 90% of the grass you see anywhere in Texas is an invasive and not a native grass. Second, when you get 6-10 inches of rain per year in their high elevation desert, the grass that’s there has survived for a million years. Planting grass wouldn’t be easy in the high desert.
