My dad had 1 rule of many. All animals eat before you do in the morning. You might have to get up earlier if you want to eat and take shower before school. It up to you. 😂😂😂 He meant it too
Yeah, those were the golden years. I’m a little biased based on the nostalgia of my childhood, but 90% of the crap today isn’t country even if they play it on “country “ radio
I totally 100% agree with you on the Country music. We're very lucky here in W Cental Iowa to have an awesome real country music station & I love it. Wish I could hook you up with it. Awesome ranching!! Until next time, take care, be safe & God bless ❤❤
Triped across your site great deal with the calf catcher keeping you safe cows are extreamly protective mothers. And yes classic country music is a must in my working day on my cottage here in Azerbijan lol a Brit living in Azerbijan that love country music crazy or what 😂
Yeah, someone skilled at fabrication could make one very similar. I do like the front and rear access doors and the fold down floor will be nice to use if we ever need to transport one back to the barn.
My 14 year old son and I love watching your channel, if you decide to name your calf’s please consider my sons name Bryce to name one of your baby bulls, he would freak out, thanks keep up the good work
We vaccinate, ear tag and band bull calves day of birth if at all possible. out of 14 todate we have only missed one this year and it was a heifer, i'll catch it up in the barn lane and get it into the catch pen soon maybe. Love the calf catcher, but our place we have a lot of holler's, valleys and wooded areas that would totally not work well in, we do keep our heifers up near the barn and catch pen while they calf out and check them once during the night before bed and early day light. had to assist one about a week ago during daylight hrs, all ways good. Love your video's. gotta be careful they can be on ya before you know it.
Yeah, our terrain sounds pretty similar. We’ll plan to use the calf catcher when we can and when we have to. I have a pretty good idea of which cows will require it and which ones won’t. Lots of ours go into the timber to calve, which is better than in the mud, but we won’t be able to use it on those calves until they bring them out.
I detest the idea that black hair somehow makes a calf worth more. Yeah, we brought in Black Angus bulls years ago, but I’m partial to red. Been in that situation SO many times, trying to tag a calf🤣 Also, I had a Hereford cow with those soda can teats. Had to milk her twice daily, but she was a sweetheart. Could squat right there in the field and milk her. Luck of the draw, I suppose! Glad I found your channel, as you could be me or one of my neighbors here in SE Ohio. Subscribed🙂
Bobby Lee, this may be a stupid question, but does the red Hereford mom with the swelled up utter have mastitis? Looks like it to me and probably why she's not letting baby nurse much.?? Got some sweet little calves and more to come!!!👍
No, she just balloons out on the front two quarters. No inflammation/infection. Definitely not a desirable bag for nursing, but she has always raised a good calf. She’s one we may not want to keep heifers out of because of that trait
That is a sign he is Mechanically inclined. Comes from both parents and from what I read it can’t be fought. Not saying everyone gets better but if you have it then it will come easier to him. Good deal and I like the calf catcher. Don’t know how much one is new but could build one easy especially without the floor deal. Could save your life at some point
Bring on true country music, not the rock. I still buy CD's 'cause I listen to what I want to, not what I have toooooo! OOps, who is playing in the sweet 16?
The market says they must be black if you want maximum returns. Angus-Hereford baldy calves or Brangus-Hereford “super baldies” are very desirable crosses for feeder calves and even replacement heifers. We tinkered with going the registered Hereford route for a bit, but we didn’t have the numbers and check all the boxes to maximize the value there. Our environment here in the south makes the Brahman-influenced calves more efficient as well.
Too bad for the Hereford breed and the Hereford female. The Angus Association did a tremendous Ad campaign. When the meat is on the hook no one can tell the difference, so the Hereford breed that settled the west and was revered for all of it great qualities and traits is being turned into a panda eyed cancelled beef breed. There still is nothing more beautiful than a herd of Hereford cattle in a pasture of green grass any where. Understand that you need the most profit return for your work efforts. Hope you will join the future fight to continue to eat beef. The left wants you to consume imported camel and kangaroo in the future. Stay safe! ❤@@HurricaneCreekFarms
I haven’t cleaned stalls in a while. They usually handle those chores. The horses usually are only stalled long enough for them to eat their grain, so not a lot of cleaning every day.
Don't harm to help fella farmer and subscibe. I'll be starting youtube channel this summer, so far only facebook side. Same kind of farming, just in Portugal
DUMB QUESTION OF THE DAY: Whats that gel you keep speaking of?? I think you said it goes in the mouth! What is it and what does it do? SECOND DUMB QUESTION: Are calfs and sheep similar?? As in.. When sheep are born the farmer has to dunk there umbilical cords with iodine so no infection gets in there! Do you have to do that to your calfs? Sorry i dont know what animals have belly buttons or not!! 🤷🏼🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also got a bone to pick with you Bobby!! I came here almost a year ago to see babies being born and your like half way done calving already and we still havent seen any babies being born yet from like start to finish!! 😭😭😭 You always tell us after the fact! I NEED to see the babies being born Bobby not you telling us after the fact!!! 😂😂😂 I think you should invest in some cameras and put them around your property that way we dont miss every birth anymore! Lol As usual thanks for sharing hun and ill just be over here praying to god we get to see atleast just ONE baby being born before caving season is over!! Lol 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Optimizer calf gel. It is a probiotic, vitamin, and protein gel that helps to prevent scours. We haven't had major scouring issues in the past, but its less than $3/dose and if it prevents one dead calf every 5 years, its worth it. Dipping navels isn't a common practice with cattle, especially calving out on pasture where it is generally less contaminated than calving in a barn or pens. Cattle are definitely much more hardy than sheep. My buddy that previously raised sheep always says they are born, lift up their head, and immediately start looking for a place to die! We've caught a few in the act of calving over the years, but, when things go like they should, it typically happens so fast that you miss it. We'll keep trying!
I retired from a research farm a few years ago. We would feed our first calf heifers in the evening with the idea that they would calve the next morning. It generally worked. Then you may have a chance to get a birth on film.
I’m not sure which ones you are referencing. The cattle are all in ideal body condition for calving and lactation. At this point in the year, they were fed free choice hay & protein lick tubs, along with roughly 3lbs/head/day of 13% mixed ration. They are pretty spoiled.
🤷🏻♂️ some videos are shorter and some are longer. Simply depends on how much content we have for that day/video. Check out the shorts videos if you are limited on time.
Son, you talk way too much. Get some work done and get you talking to all the ones that need to hear you talk. More work and less play make the day go faster.
You’re free to have your opinion and I’m free to make content as I wish. We aim to educate and entertain. Sometimes, that means explaining, in some degree of detail what, how, and why we are doing things. If that’s not your cup of tea, I’m sure you can find more appropriate videos on RUclips. 🤷🏻♂️
Wow ! That girl didn’t want you there ! Bobby lee had to do the two step to stay clear …great move !
Gotta keep your head on a swivel. Fortunately, I’m still just quick enough!

That’s generally our approach as well. Some days we do eat an early breakfast before getting to chores
You aint never been more right in your life. 90s country music is the only country music worth listening to. Great video man
Thank you!
Love your videos and loved your comment on country music I agree with you 💯 %
Thank you!
Bobby you have some Beautiful calf's you have . And I agree with you 90"s Country music is the beast Country ever
Yeah, those were the golden years. I’m a little biased based on the nostalgia of my childhood, but 90% of the crap today isn’t country even if they play it on “country “ radio
You good at getting on any kind of problems with your cattle. Great cattle farming.
Thanks!
@@HurricaneCreekFarms Texas Panhandle something to think about.

I love ur sarcasm. Cows didnt want u bothering their babies.
These two sure didn’t. I know we have a couple more that have yet to calve that’ll be this bad or worse!
I totally 100% agree with you on the Country music. We're very lucky here in W Cental Iowa to have an awesome real country music station & I love it. Wish I could hook you up with it. Awesome ranching!! Until next time, take care, be safe & God bless ❤❤
That’s fantastic! I have to stick to Spotify if I want to listen to the classics!
Yea she was trying to get in your back pocket. Lol. You better give that camera man a raise. He did a good job
he did do a good job. He's a little unsteady with the camera, but he's getting better!
I figured you were getting your new arrowquip squeeze chute. Everyone else on RUclips has gotten one
They look real nice, but we are all set with good working chutes on both farms. I’d consider them if we ever had to replace one of ours
Triped across your site great deal with the calf catcher keeping you safe cows are extreamly protective mothers. And yes classic country music is a must in my working day on my cottage here in Azerbijan lol a Brit living in Azerbijan that love country music crazy or what 😂
That’s awesome! I honestly had to look up Azerbaijan to see exactly where that was. What’s going on in that part of the world?
so wonderful beautiful video Bobby lee so nice to see
Thanks!
You have an interesting channel out of my watching norm. I'll be back ! Pardon me while I slap the button.
Thank you!
I built one almost identical to that a year ago...looks like a copy of mine...I had it on RUclips also.
Yeah, someone skilled at fabrication could make one very similar. I do like the front and rear access doors and the fold down floor will be nice to use if we ever need to transport one back to the barn.
Love your show always ❤
Thank you!
Sometimes we need a good adrenaline rush. Mama cows can sure do it.
Yeah, we are all adrenaline junkies on some level!
My 14 year old son and I love watching your channel, if you decide to name your calf’s please consider my sons name Bryce to name one of your baby bulls, he would freak out, thanks keep up the good work
I can do that. I’m not hoping for a bottle calf, but if we have a bull bottle calf, we’ll do it. Those are usually the only ones with names!
I'm a new subscriber and I really enjoyed your video
Do they build that for a JD, you know we have to be special lol!
We can build any attachment on the unit, let us know what your quick connect is.
Yes, they can accommodate any type of loader-attachment

Thank you! I totally agree on hair color. That Hereford bred back, so we are going to keep her around in spite of me knowing better!

They see themselves in your sunglasses lol and decide to charge the cow. The last cow that got that close to her left barehoofed and pregnant.
Maybe they are attacking the reflection. Sunglasses definitely a common denominator with these ladies all of a sudden being aggressive!
we used to say there's calving in the aire lol
There certainly is!
Roll Tide ... I will keep watching anyway!
It was a good game! We just have to take care of business at South Carolina and can wrap up the title!

Thought not fought
Yeah, with a little fabrication skills, you could make one
GOOD AFTERNOON
Cool thanks 😊
How many rolls of hay do your cattle eat in a day?
Our cowherd was eating about 1.5 to 2 rolls (4x5) every day. That’s 42 mama cows
Oh my goodness that’s also not including the special grains you give them as well right?
That’s an awesome shark cage
You are right
You reckon those two mama's need some medicam? Maybe they had a bit of a rough delivery. 🤷♀️
BE SAFE
Thank you!
cows like thier young
Yes, they do!
Why don't you have a stick with you when you're out there trying to tag Calves

Why aren't you breeding Hereford cows to Hereford bulls?

Let's see videos of girls cleaning out there horse stalls at least. Thought you had 100 percent work ethnic. Or do you do all that too? 😊😊😊😊😊
