You might want to have a piece of heavy wall 1 1/2" square tubing on hand to slide across your squeeze chute just behind the cow or steer. If you have a critter that wants to fight backwards, this stops that. They can't back up at all.
That's a good idea because they will back up and if it's wide enough they will turn around.
@@ronniejenkins4633 The squeeze chute will keep them from turning around but the head gate will not keep them from fighting backwards. The bar snuggly behind their butt will.
@@philstocks7859 That is true 👍 when I say turn around I was talking about before they get to the squeeze shute.
His cows are so tame and gentle because he never treats them like cows that they will all line right up and walk thru it standing perfectly still when he is banding their nuts and giving them earrings then they will walk calmly out of the shoot and back to the pasture they will probably even tell him thanks on the way
Always have them exit to a gift shop
1 year loyalty badge 🐄 complete. Fitting since it’s cattle handling video day! Woooo! ❤️🇺🇸
Looks good👍👍
Have a good evening 🌻🌻🌻
The cow’s probably said “aw chute he,s gonna make us run thru that thing” “Guess we could squeeze thru it” “Well better than that meat saw he bought”
👍Great channel right here folks! God has blessed ya Josh! 🙏👍🇺🇸
Glad to see you finally got some help
That's pretty cool I've never understood how they run the cattle through a shoot like that. Thank you
Awesome. The first SRF video I came across was the pig butchering and salt curing video at your dads. Anticipated a follow up on how the ham turned out that was hung but you had great stuff to keep me occupied. I doubt I’ve seen every video but darn near 99%. I’m forgetful at pounding the like button because I watch through my TV and it takes a few steps to get to the like button and if your not fast enough it goes to the next video. I just wanted to say thank you for creating such great videos that are informative and void of just fill in content. The world needs more Stoney Ridge Farmers and Jason Rhodes, The Fit Farmer and My Wyoming Life as well as countless others. We can’t forget to mention Joel Saladin and Polyface Farm. Thank you for being a steward of the land and this knowledge and information. I pray that your dream expands beyond anything you can imagine. If I get your way I’d like to visit and meet you in person. My work schedule keeps me busy so I’m sure it won’t be soon enough but until then I’ll continue to enjoy your knowledge and great videos through here. I’ll visit the merchant store so I can spread the SRF following in my area. Thank you again. Stew from the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Telluride Colorado.
Morning Josh! I’ve been looking forward to seeing the tarter handling equipment. Thanks for sharing!
Best infomercial ever!
Good-looking Corral. You could use a few of those extra panels to make a wide Alleyway leading into the sweep tub.
Amazing how much new equipment you have. Not cheap!!!
Hey man, your works are full of inspirations, my salute to you.
Now I do want to say that you are going to need a couple of cattlemen , that know what they’re doing
Exactly!!
Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
With the 5 extra panels you it might help to build an alley way to help get the cattle up to the round about. Great informative video thanks
Hello from Minnesota. Pretty cool.
Great video Josh 🇺🇲 WOOOOOO 🇺🇲
Arrowquip products are higher quality with rubber stops so there's no metal banging to freak the cows out.
The Tartar system looks good.
Nice setup!
Nice set up, looks productive. low stress on cattle...
Good morning Josh.
Morning!
Great vid, learned quite a bit!
Greetings from Puerto Rico !
Good stuff, wooooo!
That is a very effective and elegant system that should serve you well for many years to come. Somebody put a lot of thought into this process!
@@tylermallory2504 You're right!, I don't. I just eat them, but think that they should be treated as humanely and as safely as possible by those who do. I'm no mechanic either, but I like my car. So, I don't understand your dislike of this chute system. Please, go ahead... take the plunge... enlighten us. Give us the benefit of your vast experience with bovines, as to why? You just come across as snide and petty..
Use the extra five panels to make a collection pen leading to your sweep area....you will need a smaller pen inside of your big pen to ease the cows into the sweep area...
Glad Tarter helped you out, good to have a good cattle handling system 👍 one step closer to SRF beef 🥩
Good morning Josh, I hope that everything works the way that you are talking, but in my experience when cattle get pinned up there will be some tense moments ,good job showing the set up ,I have looked at tarter system it is a pretty good system good video.
Great point
Pretty cool
Your squeeze has an automatic headgate on it, it can be set to automatically capture cattle.
Is there a gate or catch from the tub area to the lane? If not your tub and lane would have to be totally empty before reloading the tub and have a lot of backing up problems.
Have the cattle graze around it regularly so they are used to seeing it. They will avoid it otherwise.
You hit the nail on the head it ain't gonna be that easy because they won't follow him like they do going to new pasture.
I'll bet they go right in and gobble up the sweet feed I put in there without a problem. Probably expose them for 2 days before running them through the chute
plan is to run them through 2-3 times per year...they'll have a feed trough in there to gobble down some sweet feed
Super cool n super simple
The way it aughta be.
What kind of cows are you running bro?
Is there a way to quieten some of those panels down, they are really loud?
Are the cattle panels made by Tarter also? Thank you.
Josh, have you thought about adding some rubber insulation to knock down on the metal on metal noise? It may help with the cow stress level to reduce the noise level of handling...just a thought.
yep....I thought of it...the cows get used to the noises after a few mins and all is well for sure
What panels do you use in this ?
I bought a TYM35 tractor a few years back. Biggest mistake ever.
How was the beef in your last video
delicious!
Josh,
Attractive system good luck on operation; have you any plan as of yet on which bovine units you will subjugate to process; and when? I hope all that goes well you certainly have put in the ground - leg and lots of hard work looking out your cattle, to give them a nice drink close by their favorite places; my Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. . . . .
I be happy to have a bunch of little doggies; if i do very well I would like a herd of Scottish highland cattle and that will suit me well. excellent beef makeup nice cattle check out their body make up. Hey I worked on a fence repair for Dept of agriculture and fisheries woman's ranch. I was pleasantly surprised how nice these cattle even bulls were, yeah they had to see smell me get fed by me, but after a bit, I could work inside fence line doing trespassers fencing repairs and the bulls would come right up to me, but not hurt me. They came up to interact to get a touch or a sniff or to be scratched or pat, to me this was very surprising too. For a bull that definitely has large offensive horns these were so gentle and inquisitive and just wanted a hand full of grass they couldn't reach or a ear scratch a head rub. I hope your Angus cattle goes as well. Ha ha I do miss the cowboys YEAH like all the movies we loved as a kid though, but you're just one of those singing to those old doggies now, are you not? That be a purdy picture you just sing to your sweetheart cow or your your young calves put them in that enclosure, coral Coral, ha call it a dinner date make it a welcoming oh this is going to be good. Oh I don't know, maybe? Alfalfa or some sweet grain just a fun time what's that guy in Wyoming called when he throws out the alfalfa nuggets and taste the new mom cattle for the animal he wants to influence to come on over be gentle enjoy some good food. I'd like to see that vlog maybe some classical music in the background a black tie and suit for fun make light of it some funny filming oh Betsy your soo purdy you got the biggest brown eyes a wide eye too close up, funny but fun make is laugh but be the straight man. Punch me a like, now you-all leave me a comment if you'd like to see a me singing to the favorite cow or a group of calves , come on y'all just let me know, ham it up a table white cloth over it just walk in quite natural I think it be a hoot. Or not.
Are the Silver panels Tarter brand?
It would be very very difficult to preg check cattle with the chute that you have however they make what's called a palpation cage which sets between the squeeze chute and the alleyway.
An operation of this size probably doesn't need to do preg checks...I'll know in a few months who's calving and who's not most likely
Hey Josh, do you brand your cattle? Thanks from Georgian Bay.
I don't, we use ear tags
No he doesn't because branding them hurts them and he is a low pressure low stress cow guardian
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks
@@Clawson_customs Thanks dady dad
You need to change the entrance to the sweep gate with an alley or pen otherwise it really will not work. Also cattle don’t like straight alley ways, always curve will flow much better. Last word of wisdom chain the side exit of chute or you will get someone hurt when it pops open on accident.
Hi! Do you feed your cows organic food?
Grass with no chemicals or fertilizers is organic my friend. Grain free cattle
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yup, thats what I was Lookin for. Ty 😉
Gonna be fun watching you wrangle those doggies😊
Where can you buy those panels?
most farm stores or watch marketplace for them
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer those looked a little beefier than I had seen before at the local stores
Hello
I know you said calm is best but I would get a kick from seeing you frantically shouting
Wooo
Woooooo
Woooooooo
Go on gurl
Wooooooo weee!
Go on get!
Please ? Just a little
If you’re gonna do this this the way you say you are ......Then you will be way more stressed out by the end of the day than the cows will be .....I ran cows for a couple years .......trust me I know
$$$$ of everything is so bad right now dude!
Why go temporary when you're going permanent in a little while? I'll never have enough $$$ to afford doing it twice.
I'd rather work my cattle with the temp setup...learn what I like and don't like and what works..then build permanent without regret...seems pretty smart to me. Show me a farm without any temp cattle panels brotha....we all use them
Plus being able to relocate the entire pen system is a huge advantage because after awhile with wet weather and constant use the ground will take a beating. Moving to a different location allows regrowth and also portable for other pastures of you cant move the cattle easily
Not a cow to be seen
Uh...cows on the other side of the farm buddy..video tomorrow about that. Why would I have the cattle in the same place that I'm working? Seems like a "not so smart" move...cattle are curious and will tear stuff up brotha
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I know I was really hoping to see the stars of the show 😂 its actually what brought me to your channel back before all this crap we are dealing with today.
Lol... love the commercialization of the channel used to gain sponsorships and demo products.... I'll keep looking for a more realistic everyman system.
This is real...and it's the reality of starting a first generation farm. If you're looking for the pallet farming hippy channel...you may wanna keep scrolling. Kindness is a virtue my friend...attempting to insult me for showing you how I'm building the farm serves no point what so ever other than the satisfaction you get from insulting a stranger.....please be kind....I'm sharing my life with you
