There was an old farmer in my area that used to spend a little down time with his cattle- seeing what they were up to, making sure they looked healthy, etc. Every now and then you need to take time out and smell the roses and maybe even the cattle.
Love it Pete. When I was 15 I got on a neighbors steer as he left the barn and came back on him about 8 in the eve with a small herd of 8 . I became a cow for the whole day seeing how they ranged through the day on 80 acres of field , woods, meadows. Best thing I ever did and remember the whole pattern of their daily habit. Someday I'm going to write a short story.
Reminds me of the times I was a little girl, when we had cattle, I would go out in the pasture and just sit there and watch them just to get some peace from a chaotic family life.
Those cows just love you!! It's so funny seeing them go nose to nose with you. I like the name Chase for 'little one'. Maybe one day he will live up to his name and be the one knocking over your camera.
Rosso could be a good name. It’s red in Italian but I’m sure you already knew that. I’ve been watching your channel for just over a year an enjoy all of your videos no matter the content. FYI it’s your personality an that smile that keeps me watching. I’ve always wanted to work on a farm an about a month ago I found that job. Shame it took almost 40 years to find but I have never had such a pleasurable job. Working with animals an nature doesn’t feel like work to me.
Cinnamon sounds good. Those bulls are the lovingest guys. Doc. yep I remember him. He was privileged to crawl thought the bars to get his own hay. Thanks for sharing. Iowa is watching. 30 degs. this morning with a good frost. :)
Those continuous NOSTRIL BLASTS are the best. You're spot on with the patient approach. Let their curiosity lead them; and it will. Cattle familiar with people movement, smell sounds and touch are so much easier to work. In less than an hour Little Brownie was close. Cows are so cool if you take time to 'read' them. Your cattle are comfortable around you. Very nice herd.
On our farm we named all the animals, except the chickens, well, we did name the rooster. He was mean. All six of us kids knew the animals were for food. I never had any issues with it, until we had to let Julius Caesar go to Butcher. We all cried. Great video 😍
Pete. I wish I could go out with you to pet what cows I could. It is relaxing just to watch you out there and the cows come up to check you out or get petted. Thank you for the good video.
I get the feeling that it’s viewing day at the zoo and YOU are on view! They seem to be quite happy that they can view and interact with the two legged creature that responds to all their bellyaching every day, yup, I even think they are content and happy with the situation at hoof.
I grew up on my grandparents farm, 170 head of just cows. We had one horned cow that looked a lot like Patty, she was wild as a March hare. Very very protective of her calves. You did not get close to her or her calf or she would bulldoze you. But she also was hands down the best momma cow we had. And threw some of the most beautiful calves ever.
I always made friends with our calves growing up and working on other farms. They are a HELL of a lot easier to milk when they freshen. And they are much more friendly and trusting. Thats what you want with your cattle.
I totally Love cows and cattle. I especially Love it when they come up to the camera, smell it then lick their nose. I loved it even more when they came up to you and licked you! That was so beautiful. :-)
I grabbed my fly swatter and wanted to swat that fly on your shoulder. You made good progress with the calf for half day. We had several mean and dangerous steers at one time. I sure don't trust them. Being out in that pasture would be a vacation for me, I loved it.!
Some of us see your herd more like family rather then dollar signs. I think that’s why some of us get confused with you naming them. Personally I believe it’s your farm, your life, your choice! I love this channel to the moon and back. I’m here just apologizing for all of us softies 😘
Love how you bond with your cattle Pete! It makes fora more peaceful life for you and for them. That little red guy IS a pistol.He seems so indifferent unlike most of the other cows. LOVE DOC! He's practically a dog ! Lol ! Anywho...you are open for name suggestions for the little stinker...you have some old fashioned biblical names around for your animals ...of which I'm prone to do too...so I don't have a name referring to the color red...but I like Samson or Asa or Monty....good luck with his name...I know you will pick a great one ! 😀
Great video ... thank you for sharing. It won't be long now as close as he got to you! :) He is a great looking boy ... My vote would be Theo (gift from God), Roane (red-haired) or Rowan (little red one). Thank you Pete, it was relaxing. Loved the cows sniffing the camera.
The cows on our farm was not as friendly as yours. I just love the way you take time to know your bigger animals. I have no problem with you naming the cows.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My parents had a pond that did not hold water. They had the idea that they needed to run some pigs in the bottom to get it to hold water. I spent hours sitting out there trying to get close enough to them to pet them. It was so much fun.
It is so funny the cows seem to look right at the camera as if they knew what it was. Ready for my close up shot DeMille!! My suggestion for the calfs' name is Archie. Like the redhead in the comic series.
Pete, my Wife and I follow several RUclips channels. Your channel is always the first we watch. We enjoy watching your joy of farming and always have something to learn when watching. Today’s video was relaxing and fun to watch. Longue vie à la Ferme de Quelques Acres!
I am stuck indoors due to my allergies right now. So I'm binge watching your videos. That's a really lovely and peaceful video, I love it! Oh dear, some their eyes are so gentle. I've done a little bit of horse whispering and can tell by their eyes how they're feeling that particular moment
I’ve just watched this one year later-I don’t know how I missed such a wonderful video and I’m glad I caught it. Pete you make the most relaxing videos. The respect you give your family and animals is the biggest reason I watch your channel. I see your way of animal husbandry is the best. I am a meat eater but I do not believe that any animal should be mistreated for the time they are alive. I agree that it is ok to name your animals and pet them for their benefit. They have a higher quality of life than any animal that doesn’t get attention. And also any animal that gets to feed on grass is healthier and tastier than those that don’t. I thought store bought eggs were great and the first time I saw an egg that had an orange yolk I thought it was bad. 😂😂 I now know what I’ve been missing. Thank you for another great video.
Hello Pete and Hillary. I know cows are curious so sooner or later he will come up to you. It shows you treat your cattle well there calm around you and that's great. Cattle that are treated well give back the same. I think a good name would be "James". Have a great day.
I always love your videos pete! outdoors and farmlife has the same effect on me as it does you. the city stresses me out and this resets me. thank you 🇨🇦
Pete I enjoyed this day with you and the cattle. I believe it was a good start for your plan on that calf. He was watching the others come to you and that will help his shyness.
Just plain (Red) sounds pretty good to me, very masculine. I wonder how many cattle's I could put on my little acre and a half of desert with plenty of well water. I was thinking sectioning it off into areas where grass can grow, grow areas and eat areas rotating of course
I think you should name him Farmall because he's red like your tractors! Thanks for the relaxing video Pete. I love to see your interactions with your herd.
Call him Red Bull. The energy drink that sneaks up on your affections.
How about "RUSTY" FOR THE LITTLE RED CALF'S NAME?
Yep. Rusty is a great name.
I second this!
Took the name right out of my mouth. That was my first thought too. Rusty just fits
Rusty is indeed a good name
I'm in for Rusty
I think that Rusty would be a good name for the calf.
Rusty is my vote as well. From NH
Only if it’s Rusty Griswald. =)
I was just goubg to write that name down.Rusty
Me and my granddaughter she is 3 love watching your videos she likes all the cows and she runs through the house and saying come on cows come on cows
I love watching your herd. I am a retired dairyman who fondly remembers trying to get through the barn while being mobbed by all the friendly ones.
There was an old farmer in my area that used to spend a little down time with his cattle- seeing what they were up to, making sure they looked healthy, etc. Every now and then you need to take time out and smell the roses and maybe even the cattle.
“Umber” is my vote. It’s his color! Besides, he’s a unique calf, so I figure he should have a unique name! 🙂
love it! the "um" from Umber means "one" in portuguese, also a unique fact about the name
Umberto
Aaaaand...you'll never forget when someone asks "What's it's name?" you'll invariably say "Ummm..." !-)
Love it Pete. When I was 15 I got on a neighbors steer as he left the barn and came back on him about 8 in the eve with a small herd of 8 . I became a cow for the whole day seeing how they ranged through the day on 80 acres of field , woods, meadows. Best thing I ever did and remember the whole pattern of their daily habit. Someday I'm going to write a short story.
Calves are usually naturally curious. I'm always amazed at they will come right up to me even when the cows hang back.
Pete, you do a great job of making me miss my youth. Watching you interact with animals lowers my blood pressure. Thanks for keeping it simple.
Reminds me of the times I was a little girl, when we had cattle, I would go out in the pasture and just sit there and watch them just to get some peace from a chaotic family life.
Those cows just love you!! It's so funny seeing them go nose to nose with you. I like the name Chase for 'little one'. Maybe one day he will live up to his name and be the one knocking over your camera.

Cinnamon sounds good. Those bulls are the lovingest guys. Doc. yep I remember him. He was privileged to crawl thought the bars to get his own hay. Thanks for sharing. Iowa is watching. 30 degs. this morning with a good frost. :)
Pumpkin! i really enjoyed this video this was so nice an relaxing to watch
Damian for the ginger calf just like the great actor in the TV show Billions ;-) Such a great actor and a great role.
Everyone kept coming up to check on you. Like hey Pete are you OK? Lol.
Love time spent with animals, it is so relaxing.
Clifford, as in the big red dog. Thank you for taking the time to make these great videos to share with us.

some of the happiest prettiest cows i've ever seen

Butcher. We all cried. Great video 😍
What a great way to spend part of an afternoon. Cimarron, much like cinnamon
"Black-eye-rings-red-calf" that name really rolls of the tongue with ease.
My 4 yr old daughter says call em pumpkin(pronounced "punkin" The wife says red bull. I say, Lucas. Lol, thanks for takin us along, Pete
Is is fascinating to see their behavior from up close like that! Love it.
Thank you for this time near your cattle.... Now I can see having a cow or two as a pet....
Nice that Doc is trying to help
Great video and information 😊👍 maybe name him pepper since he's red lol
I love your gentleness with your cattle.
Timmy the timid steer. What a cutie.
Pete. I wish I could go out with you to pet what cows I could.
It is relaxing just to watch you out there and the cows come up to check you out or get petted. Thank you for the good video.

well you had a relaxing time trying to make friends with the calf and the other cattle seemed to enjoy your company
I love the sound when they're sniffing the microphone 😁
Thanks for another mellowing experience. Rowdy, for Rowdy Yates...Rawhide..Head em up...
Needed this for my Friday! Have a great weekend Pete
Thank you!
Ginger suits him imo.

You did not get close to her or her calf or she would bulldoze you. But she also was hands down the best momma cow we had. And threw some of the most beautiful calves ever.
My favorite thing about cows has always been their curiosity and inquisitiveness, they're just big, easily startled, pasture puppies.
True testimony as to how much you are loved in the bovine community!
Yes it was relaxing which is good since I am watching it while in labor.
I always made friends with our calves growing up and working on other farms. They are a HELL of a lot easier to milk when they freshen. And they are much more friendly and trusting. Thats what you want with your cattle.
I have always loved how curious they are. They are cute!!!
The care you give you animals is heart warming.❤
Name him Willie after Willie Nelson. He’s the red headed stranger.
I vote for Willie!
Hi Pete, I just love the time and effort you put forth with your animals. Yes, they are our food. Nothing wrong with caring for them too.
Ultra relaxing actually. I didn’t realize how calming making a friend could be!
Great video I’m looking forward to watching the market again have a great Sunday
Nice try...maybe next time. I love how the two big bulls just lumber over to say hi and get their scratches. 🥰👍
I totally Love cows and cattle. I especially Love it when they come up to the camera, smell it then lick their nose. I loved it even more when they came up to you and licked you! That was so beautiful. :-)
Maybe “Clifford” like the big red dog haha! I also like the suggestion for Rusty
I grabbed my fly swatter and wanted to swat that fly on your shoulder. You made good progress with the calf for half day. We had several mean and dangerous steers at one time. I sure don't trust them. Being out in that pasture would be a vacation for me, I loved it.!
I like the name Roux. Give him that Louisiana touch. It will make you thing of a good gumbo. Like your stories.
Some of us see your herd more like family rather then dollar signs. I think that’s why some of us get confused with you naming them. Personally I believe it’s your farm, your life, your choice! I love this channel to the moon and back. I’m here just apologizing for all of us softies 😘

Another great video, Pete. Like watching you interact with the cows. I like the name 'Pappy' for Paprika or 'Cappy' for Capachino 😊 for the calf.
Enjoyed this! “Hobbes,” the orange cat from ‘Calvin & Hobbes.’
.........
Gonna name my first son Calvin lol
Fred...I like Fred. Thx for the calming video Pete.
Great video ... thank you for sharing. It won't be long now as close as he got to you! :) He is a great looking boy ... My vote would be Theo (gift from God), Roane (red-haired) or Rowan (little red one). Thank you Pete, it was relaxing. Loved the cows sniffing the camera.
The cows on our farm was not as friendly as yours. I just love the way you take time to know your bigger animals. I have no problem with you naming the cows.
Enjoy your down time Mr. Pete!
I enjoy how you are personable to your animals
Call the little one H! Thanks for another upload! missed ya those few days you took off.
The little one is cute, for sure. A boy... I'd call him, Bruno. There was a friendly dog in the family called exactly that. Be well.
My vote is that "Rudy" is "ruddy". Good to see you able to take some time to just hang with the herd. Doc is trying to show him the ropes.
This reminds me of when I was a kid. My parents had a pond that did not hold water. They had the idea that they needed to run some pigs in the bottom to get it to hold water.
I spent hours sitting out there trying to get close enough to them to pet them. It was so much fun.
Pete I think Farmall would be a good name for the little red calf !!
I hope I get to see that when it happens. So peaceful watching you around the cattle .
This video was great. After a stressful week, this was relaxing. I actually watched it twice Friday night. Thank you for this.
I kinda like the suggestions of just 'RED'. Time with the cows is always my favorite. They are so curious and like those rubs and scratches for sure.
Chester for the little one . Take care Pete , thanks for sharing your day with us .
I love how the others keep coming to get pets instead of the calf you wanted.
Very relaxing video. Thanks for reminding us. Keep trying with the Little Guy. You'll get there. I really enjoyed the video.
It is so funny the cows seem to look right at the camera as if they knew what it was. Ready for my close up shot DeMille!! My suggestion for the calfs' name is Archie. Like the redhead in the comic series.
We show trust an love, we receive trust an love !
GOD BLESS !!!

Thank you CJ!
The Red Barron. Stealthy, Smart, Quick.
Aw those Camera Cows.
Have a great day Pete. 🐔🚜👍
years ago we used porcelain insulators for corner posts.They can be found at tractor supply. They worked very well. Love your channel!!
I am stuck indoors due to my allergies right now. So I'm binge watching your videos. That's a really lovely and peaceful video, I love it! Oh dear, some their eyes are so gentle. I've done a little bit of horse whispering and can tell by their eyes how they're feeling that particular moment
Give the mom a treat!
I think the calf should be named Suede he’s got such a nice color. Love your time relaxing with the cows. Sandy
Harken was what we named our red colored Bull years ago. That name is actually an Irish name that means deep red.
I’ve just watched this one year later-I don’t know how I missed such a wonderful video and I’m glad I caught it. Pete you make the most relaxing videos. The respect you give your family and animals is the biggest reason I watch your channel. I see your way of animal husbandry is the best.

I love some of the names suggested for the little one. Let me add another suggestion - Snickers.
Enjoying your videos.
I always love your videos pete! outdoors and farmlife has the same effect on me as it does you. the city stresses me out and this resets me. thank you 🇨🇦
I love named animals. We named all of ours even the chickens. My first thought for your Red steer would be Rojo.
Scooter would be a good name for the calf that always scoots away from you Pete!
Pete I enjoyed this day with you and the cattle. I believe it was a good start for your plan on that calf. He was watching the others come to you and that will help his shyness.
Cattle are always fast when they are running towards an open gate or escaped on the road 😂
The good name for that cow Casper be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Just plain (Red) sounds pretty good to me, very masculine.
I wonder how many cattle's I could put on my little acre and a half of desert with plenty of well water. I was thinking sectioning it off into areas where grass can grow, grow areas and eat areas rotating of course
I thought the same.
One goat.
Making friends now ....
Dinner later .....
I think you should name him Farmall because he's red like your tractors! Thanks for the relaxing video Pete. I love to see your interactions with your herd.
5 yr old grandson says his name should be Clifford..... the little red cow ;)
I found time, patience and everyday worked
Looking forward to seeing you win him over. 🙂
Very nice video Pete. I like the name Rusty for the little guy. Be well!
Your bulls are like big friendly dogs.
Rusty
It's really cool to see all the personalities in the herd.
