- It’s farm chore madness every eve at Raventree Ranch. Walk through the chaotic energy of the evening putting our goats, sheep, donkey, alpacas and mini steers in their place at night.
This is the time when we open up the farm to the livestock guardian dogs can better protect all of our farm animals. Our border collie Pete helps in the most comical Pete way.
This is also the time we like to catch footage for our short form videos. We love the intricate and interesting moments and interactions between the animals most miss. We walk through evening chores and show how they resulted in one of our most viral videos ever. 😆
One more reminder that the happiest dogs are the ones doing the job they know is theirs. It may be guarding livestock, it may be pulling sleds, it may be guiding a blind person, or it may be being a couch potato companion to their person. Having a job and doing it makes them happy.
I know this is an old video but what state is this farm in where she doesnt get bad weather very often! It looks beautiful! I'm sick of living in Missouri with blizzards and tornadoes and hail and thunderstorms literally all the time 🙄
@@WhitneyDahlin Google says it is in California.
Your absolutely 💯 right on this. I think anyone thinking of taking on a working dog should research what breed they're bringing into the home. Working dogs are just that, they are not gonna be happy sat in a home all day on their own doing nothing, then the owners are upset when their furniture is chewed to pieces when they get back from work. It's great to see well trained dogs doing a great job and happy doing it.
@@hectorsmommy1717 ughh 😭 the state with the most beautiful weather and the highest cost of living
So very true, Hector's Mommy. True working dogs don't view what they do as a job, it is inherent in them.
Judge is doing his patent “pretend to eat straw so they know I’m one of them”
One of our LGDs eats grain with the goats.
Makes me remember wondering, is this all "fibers are good", has to make you eat dry husks.
Judge still working on befriending the fainting goats is just so wholesome
He's figuring out if he can use that sweet fainting trick to get a sick day from work. Lol
Just found your channel and it is fantastic, I've been binging all your videos.
I had a rescued border collie when I was a teenager, he was found abandoned on a nearby beach.
We rescued him and called him Mac, he was my best friend, albeit after a rocky start where he bit me but I refused to give up on him.
I noticed when we were out on our walks (in the UK countryside where I live), he was obsessed with sheep in the fields. One day he managed to get into the field and bolted towards the sheep, my heart stopped, I just knew a farmer was going to shoot him.
Fortunately I managed to get him after he had cornered all the sheep and was lying down waiting. Once I got him home I noticed he had a much more relaxed and content demeanor, and it gave me an idea.
The next day I took him up to the house of a nearby farmer (I was about 13 at the time), and asked if my dog could have a job on his farm. Obviously the farmer laughed and said "not all sheep dogs can herd sheep", but after some pleading he said "let's see what he's like then".
He took Mac to a field of older ewes and put him through his paces, he was extremely impressed and told me to bring him back the same evening.
After a few weeks of taking my dog to work, and doing some work myself, the farmer offered to buy him from me, and I immediately refused.
After a few days of thinking, and speaking to my parents about what the farmer offered, I came to the conclusion that Mac was happier working on the farm, and eventually let him go.
He worked at that farm for 6 years, until he struggled to keep up with the others. The farmer reached out to me and asked if I wanted to take him back for his retirement years. It was a no-brainer, Mac was home, and he immediately settled with our two other rescues (a mongrel and a greyhound).
He lived for another 5 years, we aren't exactly sure how old he was when he died, but the vet estimated that he was around 15 years old, I'll never forget that wee fella, he was a dog and a half.
You are amazing, & so was your dog. Thanks
🙏🏾❤️🐶
Boy, petrolhead1987, that was a heartwarming story. Thx for sharing
RIP Mac. Sounds like he did a lot of living in his 15yrs
AWESOME STORY! It's always hard to let a pet go, but you did a great thing and then to get him back for retirement is just the icing on the cake.
"But our dogs have ZERO loses" - Yep, them doggos doing a heck of a job!
"Here we work harder, not smarter." That line killed me.
That's how I raised my 3kids❤❤❤
@@alexsummerRain You raise your kids to work harder not smarter? I taught mine to try and work smarter so they don't have to work harder. 😉🙃
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Work smarter, not harder? Have so much fun watching you and your animals. Happy Resurrection day, and God bless everyone.
Now I understand why farmers most of the time get old....they simply live a good happy life surrounded by all these lovely animals. ❤👍👍😍😍
Those dogs are so peaceful until an intruder triggers their defense mode
Being a “freeloader” too funny 🤣😂🥰
I saw a segment on the news many years ago about Fainting goats and that they were used to save the more important sheep. It was so cute to see them fainting when a loud noise was made. A barn door was opened and slammed against the barn, when a bucket was dropped, etc.
Judge is a kind and tender soul
So interesting to see the longer videos showing more of the ranch daily activities. the new dogs are a great addition to Bo and Lily, you really find great ways to showcase their personalities!
I love your videos about your happy life. I adore all critters and watching yours is so much fun.
So, so interesting! And your narration is wonderful. I tell you, I love every single video, every single second.
I bet it's a lot of work but well worth it
I haven’t seen what Pete does, he is always getting in trouble, but I have never seen him working. 😂
Thank you so much for sharing this
These videos of the guard dogs guarding the various farm animals are so refreshing and fun watching; they're so different from the usual ones I watch ❤👍🦙🐂🐈🐕🐐🐑🦃🐔
When I realized how much I love these videos showing a perfect example of mutualistic symbiotic relationships, I just had to subscribe.
It’s amazing I swear she responded before Bo’s first bark was even done, wow
It may APPEAR chaotic but your farm and the animals are a well-tràined force There is inter-species communication. They àll know theirrole and work perfectly together. ❤❤❤❤❤
You betcha, I subscribed to this channel!! Raven 🐦⬛ Tree 🌲 Ranch-ROCKS!! And folks, ring the bell 🛎️ / Thumb’s Up-It, On all, All videos!!
I love it gorgeous dogs all of them and the animals.
I have a border Collie lovely dogs
I can't tell you how much I have come to love your work crew! I look for your videos every day (when I really need to be working)! :)
Thanks for sharing great video judge is going to be huge for a dog as well and Luna cat is fun to watch
I love being able to watch your beautiful dogs and live stock it's just amazing 😍
Love the video 💜
Thank you!
You have an enviable lifestyle,i am actually jealous
Our Teddy looked just like your Judge.♥️♥️
You can really see how massive judge is in this video. He's only 8 months old at that! He's going to be a bruiser when he's done growing, hope to God nothing gets into that ranch then they won't survive!
OMG I had the same thought lol. I can't believe how much hes grown and hes not even a year yet he has so much more growth to do! My favorite part is gonna be when his muscles start filling out man or man he is gonna be a force to be reckoned with.
DO NOT EVER SPEAK NEGATIVE THINGS, WE GET WHAT WE SPEAK.
I’d think he’s gonna stop growing
Judge is identical to a beautiful, giant dog. He was a great Dane x bull mastiff but was a perfect gentleman at all times. I miss him greatly.
amazing LGDs and herd dogs ❤❤❤❤❤ inlove with these angels❤❤❤ im imagining my dogs will be like them 😅😅 oh i love dogs🥰🥰
I recommend Recon cat for all your intelligent needs around the ranch.😂 For a cat Recon cat is a top dog😅😂😊😮
Watching your dogs and your different animals are a highlight to my day.
i love your dogs and your farm!! Thank you for showing us your beautiful dogs in action as well as all the other animals .....oh and pete and recon cat...they are really cool too....cant wait to see more...
JUDGE IS FABULOUS. LOVE ❤️ HIM.
Your guardian group have a grand mixture of personalities . Pete can certainly motor . Great video 👍🇬🇧
I've had Beau and Judge mixed up. Life makes more now. Thank you for the run through
So gratefull you have taken time to talk/teach the rest of us on lgd's.
Lily motivates me so much ❤
I’m becoming so invested in your channel lol I love it!!!!!
I think God is looking down at those animals and smiling.
Agreed
That was fun, first long one I’ve seen. Love those monster dogs!
Thanks for sharing! Really enjoy watching your LGDs in action. Awesome job they do with zero losses 👏👏👏
Thanks they are absolutely amazing!
I love that each, or most animals were named, and that most of them have their own personality. Whenever I see a farm youtuber that showcase each animals' traits, we audience can easily be drawn towards that animal. Whether be it a goat, chickens, turkeys, cats, and dogs
i like how the border collies walk under other the other animals ..
Love love love these videos. The dogs are soooo smart. My favorite channel by far!!! ❤❤😊😊
I love to watch. Bo is so serious. Judge is so sweet but tough. Lily is a bad ass. Luna is a warrior queen. Glad the border collies have such great teachers. ❤
Judge.. what a name.. hes friggin massive! Judge Dredd stamp of approval on the name!
Raventree Ranch - Thank you for posting this video. It's one of the most interesting I've seen. Subscribed. ☑
Sweet Pete. 💚
Love your videos ! Thank you for filming and sharing !❤
They are amazing
Love them all i bounce between Bo and Pete😅 but i think i finally picked a fave: Pete for the win!
Judge eating the hay. Om nom nom. Do the dogs have a special diet to keep them at their best?
They have the best that $ can buy, there is a video on their diet.
Lily the fur missle. She redefines the term gone with the wind.
I love these kinds if dogs - when they have a job
Lilly is intense. Love your channel.
Oh how I miss the farm life. Even cleaning out the pens! Try not to injure yourself! Those goats are characters.
We love y’all! Thank you for sharing this with us. Beautiful animals, beautiful farm ❤
I wish the best for you and your animals. Love from Turkey :)
Oh, Pete is red! That explains a lot. 🤣🤣🤣
The steer was looking at Pete like why are you eating my hay?
LUNA IS SHE THE ONLY CAT, SHE NOT SCARED OF THE BIG DOGS.
Your literally living my dream I’m too poor to ever own truely amazing to see love ur vids xx
Jill says uuuummmm.....mom excuse me I'm Queen Jill not Queen Elizabeth!! So sweet
Thank you for your short documentary on your family it was amazing to watch hope to see more…
Alpacas always have haughty and cute "But WHY?" Looks on their faces. 😍 One giant monching with his goats second, another gently lipping Luna's tail, revered Big Heroes showing tender love to grateful pupperoni Pete ... and racing off to save the day is such a remarkable microcosm. 🕊❣
❤ Boss lady Luna, making an inspection
Ok so where is the calendar? You have so many great moments to choose from! I can't help but see how photogenic all the animals are.
Never a duel day on a working livestock farm. Great dogs.
Love this family of animals. Your dogs are great. Take care.
Your dogs are amazing!!!
I absolutely love your farm animals! My personal favorite is Pete... He is so refreshing to watch. You should consider having farm tours!😂 I would visit alllll the way from Texas! 😊
They do not need CHAOS.
Bo might not approve.
I’m a Pete fan too! I like all of the pack and cats but there’s something special about Pete. ❤
Thank you for explaining.
Love your Doggos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are just amazing! also i love all your animals, my favorites are definitely the donkeys!
Really enjoy your videos as the dogs love doing what they are meant to do. Keep up to hard work!
Would love to see a video on how you process wool. Love the dogs and the protection they give. I grew up with cows and horses, but am curious more on keeping sheep and goats. 😃
I found your channel and loved it immediately I have been sharing with my granddaughter who is 5 she also loves all the animals. Her Daddy, my son, asked what we were watching and he got hooked. He subscribed as I did. Great videos. Your dogs are amazing. Love all your animals but gotta say Lilly, Bo, Judge are very impressive. Love Pete and June too.
Love the videos of the Farm!!! Lilly is a flipping BEAST!!! 👍
Pete is stunning! I love his half mask. Well, all your dogs are stunning!
I love watching your videos 😮 I just found you the other day. I have a lot to watch. ❤😂❤😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
On the farm, I had a black and white border collie Butchy, his mum Sheba and were all well trained herding dogs. Butchy would help me catch gophers as a kid…he lived a good long life.
tell Bo my dog hates the camera too… I get 2 chances for photos and then he starts making judgey faces
LGD zero losses…. Team Avengers! 🫶🏽🫶🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

@@raventreeranchHave you considered my request for 24/7 live cams. Allowing us subscribers to check in on all our friends throughout our day. Especially when we need to feel some love or need to smile or laugh. I hope you will think about it and maybe try one camera and see how many of us are checking in on our friends. Thank you for your time.
It is insane how huge Judge is! :D Love him
I love your life. Looks like happiness.
As a dog lover I really enjoy your channel. Seeing your beautiful Anatolians protect your livestock is a joy. I live near a large field which includes sheep and coyotes. The great Pyrenees that guard them must share some of your dog genes. Please keep sharing your beautiful working dogs with us. ❤❤❤
