Pro Tip, if I may? Drive into the pasture and shut the gate behind you before opening the trailer gate and introducing new cattle. Once I bought a trailer load of new cows from the sale barn. I drove 1/2 mile into my pasture and open the trailer gate to dump the new cows into my existing herd of cattle. The new sale barn cows ignored my old herd and ran straight back down my field road and out the open gate onto the highway. We roped cows for several days after. One cow was seen crossing I-10 twice. A rancher 2 miles north of me caught her with his cows several weeks later. I know you were parked in your gate partially blocking the opening, but be completely safe and back all the way into your pasture and close the fence gate before introducing new stock. Great looking place. Fine cattle.
I am 77 years old and have been around cattle all my life. Never heard of a South Poll. Maybe my problem is being a Texan. You have a nice heard of cattle and a lovely family, good luck with your cattle.
Newest vehicle on the farm is a 2017 my friend...we have no house payment, no car payment and we live simply so we can afford to build this farm. What is a hay buggy? I think you've got us confused with someone else...we live in a 32 year old mobile home worth less than a set of tractor tires lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer I sleep in an open pole barn, moved here fifteen years ago and slept on a 16' open flatbed trailer. A hay buggy is what you have videoed dropping hay, not economical, along bare spots. Google hay buggy. All I have had is drought, drought followed by a spring flood and continued drought.
South Polls are bred to be slick-haired, small-framed cows with emphasis placed on high fertility, longevity, and calm disposition. South Polls are bred to excel on a grass based grazing system.
Ranchers, farmers we love you. You guys are the backbone of this wonderful country and what has made America great. I love the fact that you are breeding the grass feeding cattle so we don't have to feed them grain. blessings on you all. Cheers Pat in New Jersey
It's nice to meet you, friend. That was so amazing to meet the new bull. Your farm is absolutely awesome. I love all of the cows that you have. I really appreciate your sharing them with all of us. I wish you continued success and happiness always!
Grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland and my Mum and Dad's relatives had farms that had Angus beef cattle and Friesian milk cows and we used to spend our summer holidays there. The Angus bull was miniscule compared to the Charolais for the milk cows. 3 a.m. milking? Jeepers!!! Takes me back. Thanks for the throwback memory.
Thanks for letting us take a peek in your day in the life of a farmer. Everyone seems to be nice there and loved your upbeat positive energy! Grass fed beef sounds exciting too. Thank you for sharing!
Always learn so much from You over the years. Just bought 9.6 acrs in Texas mostly pine going to get chickens for eggs and some goats to Handel the brush around the trees. As far as cows it’s to small for them but will have a heffer for the summer as my daughter is in FFA and when she is with me for the summer she does not want to be away from her. Going to get more land where one day I hope to have a small herd.
I loved watching those calves rubbing their neck on the hay unrolling they knew exactly what was happening and was waiting in anticipation lol ! Cows are highly intelligent
Bulls can be very mean and aggressive. My brother got a new bull. He was only a year old so my brother let his guard down and got in the pen with him. The bull charged him and tossed him in the air. Every time my brother tried to get on feet, the bull would toss him in the air again. My brother finally got a hold of the bull's ear and twisted really hard. It distracted the bull long enough for my brother to get on his feet long enough to climb out of the pen. He never went around the bull again without an electric cattle prod.
I've definitely seen mean bulls but also some really nice bulls. But the meanest cows I came across were a heard of Texas Longhorns my grandfather let a neighbor feed on one of pastures. Holy hell, those cows with calves were the meanest I ever seen. They were looking for any and all opportunity to stick you. I was glad when those cows left. Couldn't for a second turn your back.
So happy to hear (grass fed beef) the way cattle should be raised on grass and hay … not the crap the big food is jamming down everyone’s throat grain and wheat! I hope you guys have tons of success with this change…
Nice looking eighteen month old bull. I am happy to see that you are expanding the blood line. I noticed that it seems that the broom straw is going away so it will make for better grass on the pastures.. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Amen!!!
All these beautiful cows, quite, humble, and probably worried about Cheeto. Poor baby is probably confused himself. Poor baby. I bet the girls love him, he is beautiful too. 🐂🐂🐂🐂❤.
That was so funny to see that one cow that has learned that when you unroll a new bail of hay it can get a chin rub as it follows you while you unroll it.
I was hiking in England, where public right of ways go through farms. So I was going through a field, and in the distance I see a bull staring me down. I instantly realize that if I can't reach the stile to get over the fence within 20 seconds I'm a dead man. He takes off and I take off in a race to the stile. It was the fastest I ever ran in my life, and I just barely made it. You never forget a near-death expensive like that.
What a handsome young fellow. When my dad got new cattle we put them in the cattle yard for a couple of days. This gave them time to settle down in a small and secure area. We’d feed and water them during this time so the new cattle became a bit familiar with us. Then we’d let them out into a paddock. We’d do this with weened calves too, to seperate them from their mums and stop them from getting back with them.
@@jimnowak3960 true but sometimes the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and it’s not very good when the neighbour wonders why a few of his calves are black when they should be red and then he sees your black bull.
@@kdegraa I am only 77 years old I guess I learned nothing about cattle. Okay you win, I give up I stand corrected. Next time I need advise about cattle I will contact you. I didn't see any green grass anywhere, did you?
That was an interesting way to distribute the hay. The cows were following like you were the Pied Piper🎶🐃🐃🐃, and eating straight off the contraption. Then it was "Here comes the Bull. Here comes the Bull".🐂 It looked like the other animals were checking him out to make him feel comfortable in his new herd. All the best to improve your herd genetics. From a new subscriber in Canada 🇨🇦 😀.
Good lookin bull! We bought a 1/2 Aberdeen bull last year to downsize our bigger cows. We are expecting those calves soon. I have 1 cow that is AI'd to one of Greg Judy's "Macho Bull" (814). Hoping on a bull calf. If not, I plan to buy a South Poll bull next year to put on the heifers.
Man the places looks great I’ve been watching for years. Amazing transformation. That’s a good looking bull. Things are looking up for you this year. Thanks from my hill in. Sc.
Nice bull & video! Gramps had Angus runt survivor bull that threw light birth wt calfs, but huge when grown. He thought he was one of the dogs as raised in cardboard box beside kennel, but when breedin' time came around Gramps found out he was all bull & made more for stud fees than for rest of farm. Problem with ole Red was he could never figure out Gramps wasn't his Dad. One day Red watchin' Dad pullin' huge pain is the azz stump w/Deere high wheel tractor. He gave it a hell of a jerk, foot slipped off clutch, & tractor reared back over smuckin' Gramps. Red all distressed, ran up to Gramps who told him , "Get Mom" & passed out. Red went blowin' thru 2 barbwire fences, Mom wouldn't come out of house, but called neighbor Bud. In couple minutes to get there, Red bloody on front porch where broke thru & raisin' hell. Granny wanted put down, but Red Daddy of most Bud's herd, so got chainsaw, cut Red out, w/both headed for back pasture. Gramps screwed, but Bud got Red to kneel, hooked horn under tractor, & helped Red stand up. When he did, Bud slid Gramps free of tractor & bull, had Red set it down, then threw Gramps over Red's back for quick trip to house & ambulance called. Gramps in Hospital for almost month, but recovered. Me & my Dad had pulled trouble stump so that made Gramps happier upon return. Overall, this turned out to be a "Save a stillborn calf, get your life back" = good trade story!
@@daleduncan5080 - You're very welcome, Sir. Oh, by the way, Red was great at Pheasant Hunting too, thinking his self as good as the other dogs, & those cock Pheasants crowing, disturbed his morning beauty sleeps anyways.......BANG....and then they didn't!!
I like the way they sidling up to him making friends. When I was really young I used to go to my Grandparents farm for school holidays in the Eastern Cape Cathcart area in South Africa. I loved the farm animals. I used to lie down in the fields with my book & read. Falling asleep one day I woke to feel a rasping on my arm as I was being licked by a cow even on my forehead all around there were mooing sounds, opening my eyes to see cows all around examining me. Greeting them I kept dead still. Funny enough I wasn’t scared of them I just wanted to see what would happen. They didn’t attack seemed quite tame. They curious animals like cats. The donkey stands like a sentry on guard. We can learn so much from animals the way they accept each other. Enjoyed your clip on introducing Cheeto the bull. I am sure you will have some lovely calves from him. ❤
I live in a city, and have real pigs not far up the road, and when those Mennonite farmers fertilize their fields with the pig crap, we in the city KNOW it!
Commiefornia Gov Numbskull Newsom says....Any cow that passes gas will be banned from the state, as cows are the major cause of Global Warming. And Newsom wants to be US President.
if you do your research on pasture raised grass fed beef you'll understand that cattle raised like mine actually sequester carbon....the bigger question to always ask....what can I do to help the enviroment...not what other's are doing . Come see what we're doing on this land...it's really amazing...this farm probably sequesters more carbon that any farm you've ever seen...no chemical fertilizer in 6 years now!!!
Congratulations on obtaining Cheeto! I used to live across the street from a cattle farmer and just loved to hand feed the cows flowers. I was so afraid of the Bull! 😮. Great memories to a Georgia gal now in New York. 😅.
I have never heard of that bread we always had Angus semitole, limosene, and herferd. All those breads I mentioned never ate grain. Pasture all year until November then brought in and ate grass from the silo all winter.
I've been eating grass fed beef as often as possible. I find it has a richer flavor. I'm looking forward to this breed's output. Thanks for feeding us and running a beautiful family business.
From TX too and this is a new one for me. They must be cold tolerant and not something we'd run down here in the heat. Just about everything down here is crossed with Brahma.
Teddy Gentry, from the band Alabama, is who developed the breed. Google them. They are bred for heat tolerance. Pretty interesting breed. I live right outside of Houston and I've considered the South Pole. I just can't afford them.
We Deliberately Began DeCreasing The Size Of Our Cows A Few Years Ago my HusBand Said The Space Between The Belly And The Ground Is Wasted Space And They Keep Easier Over The Winter Good Looking Bull Never Heard Of South Poll Will Take A Look Thank you For Sharing your Farm !
Check out Greg Judy at Green Pasture Farms. His RUclips channel has a lot of info on the breed. The breed was started by Teddy Gentry who is a member of the country band Alabama. The history of the breed is interesting. You can't go wrong with a South Poll.
Wow, thanks for sharing this video. I miss this stuff. Growing up in south texas helping my uncle working the cows and such was my thing. A blast from the past.
Your cattle are beautiful. They are so cute. I love Tammy. I happened to love donkeys. And I saw her stand in out there. And she's just adorable I didn't realize you could use donkeys for that purpose I love to watch the farm videos and your channel is no exception. They're all beautiful and while taking care of. It's just nice to get away from desks and pencils for a while. Go back to nature. This helps me to do that. Watching your videos keep them coming. Cheeto is a beautiful bull too. They're funny to watch they really are thanks for posting
Learn something new everyday. Been over 25 years since I been around cows, never heard of south pole cows Looking at it , looks like a cross between angus and herefords?
We start ours bulls at 12-16 months angus.. 1/8 interbred and crossed with large Canadian Herefords gave us huge balleys that got me the highs of the auctions many times. It took 15 years to accomplish the results we were looking for. Calving was naturally easier with 2nd or 3rd calf cows. We often tried 3 different herd combinations with some AI top bred bulls. Funny the variety just between Angus, let alone crosses.
Greetings from Canada ! SO interesting, loved watching this! AND....I noticed the donkey ! I volunteer at a donkey sanctuary here in Canada, so if you can, if you have time, please let us know what this "guard" donkey does. I see a comment below about "too much grass" for a donkey, and yes, I heard this as well, you must be careful with donkeys, I know that we had a couple of extremely overweight donkeys at the sanctuary that we had to nurse back to health because of whatever diet they had, these beautiful guys put on too much weight!
Tammy eats grass and hay right along side the rest of the animals...has never had any health disparity and is healthy...she gets plenty of exercise and has a great life
My sister and her hubby raise Gelbvieh cows. Their donkey gave birth to a baby girl donkey and they didn't know about it for about a month, ha!!! One day they happen to see the baby with their donkey mom and that's how they found out, can you believe it???
Oh man. I was hoping you would get on his back and RIDE him to the other cows. 🤣 I envy you brother. I know it's a lot of work, but city life is really the pits.
I did farm work for my 4H progran in high school..drove combines, harvested corn, stacked hay..seen massive barn owls, avoided angry territorial roosters, drove the Bobcat, and all the 4 wheelers!! Then there was BIG MAX.. huge muscular black bull (Central PA), and i would look at him from waaay over yonder!! Just a MASSIVE ridiculously awesome animal! Mr KopenHaver would say to us city guys "Thats Big Max...and thats all his area...avoid it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have been looking at south poll as well. Southern Mamas. Teddy has put together a great breed out of Ft. Payne AL. Cant wait to get ours. Good luck with yours!
Donkeys are the best for guarding their flock, herd etc.❤❤ used to ride donkeys when i was a kid.i grew up in a mining town in Arizona. The mine used donkeys until they switched over to trucks and the train. So they turned out the donkeys and they increased in number and we kids used to catch and ride. Usually just played with them and gave them carrots.
Nearly eighty yo, remember when my grandfather raised cattle in Texas. All they ever got was grass, they looked fine to me.he liked Hereford Bulls. On the range, you had to watch out for Brahma bulls, they could get ornery and dangerous.

Great looking place. Fine cattle.
Well said..
Some good herding dogs would have made that transfer easy work too.
Been there, don't do it again.
Yeah, different dogs work different, depends what u expect out them?
And how they are trained or in the blood line.
No farmers no food period. Kudos to all farmers we respect appreciate you.
Grow your own food. No more cancer forming antibiotics, growth hormones, pesticides e.t.c.
Indeed!
A big thanks to all the hard working farmers in America and around the globe. We appreciate you❤

south pole bull is a mix breed animal made up of angus senepol hereford and barzona its a hybrid

sh'e getting scratches and food combined :D
Lots of respect for your animals. That's how it should be. Not the quantity but the quality.
This video was really interesting. Thanks for showing life on a farm.
Congratulations on obtaining Cheeto! I used to live across the street from a cattle farmer and just loved to hand feed the cows flowers. I was so afraid of the Bull! 😮. Great memories to a Georgia gal now in New York. 😅.
I can hear the bull sayin, One at time ladies! One at a time!
Crowd pleaser for the ladies...He was almost intimidated with all them running for his red coat and cherry balls.
😁 he looks like a bad boy. He was more like " where my h*es at"
It's amazing how the cows followed around and sniffed the young bull.
Same thing in the human world!
Cheeto looked pretty happy to me, making new friends.
Nice to meet you cheetoe!! Hes not as big as your Dad's bull was, that was a biggin!! Hope he throws some good lookin babies for you. 💜🙋♀️
He’s a lovely boy. Thanks for showing him off.
I have never heard of that bread we always had Angus semitole, limosene, and herferd. All those breads I mentioned never ate grain. Pasture all year until November then brought in and ate grass from the silo all winter.
Thanks for the video Josh, Enjoyed.
I've been eating grass fed beef as often as possible. I find it has a richer flavor. I'm looking forward to this breed's output. Thanks for feeding us and running a beautiful family business.
that's great!!! It's funny how some folks think grass fed beef isn't good....mine is marbled and delicious! Couldn't be better!
From TX too and this is a new one for me. They must be cold tolerant and not something we'd run down here in the heat. Just about everything down here is crossed with Brahma.
Teddy Gentry, from the band Alabama, is who developed the breed. Google them. They are bred for heat tolerance. Pretty interesting breed. I live right outside of Houston and I've considered the South Pole. I just can't afford them.
What a nice story.
Watch this from germany.
I love cows and see all of you have fun with them.
Cido will make it.....👍😁
Great looking bull beautiful heard you got there farmer.🐂🐄🐄🐄🤠
We Deliberately Began DeCreasing The Size Of Our Cows A Few Years Ago
my HusBand Said The Space Between The Belly And The Ground Is Wasted Space
And They Keep Easier Over The Winter
Good Looking Bull
Never Heard Of South Poll
Will Take A Look
Thank you For Sharing your Farm !
Check out Greg Judy at Green Pasture Farms. His RUclips channel has a lot of info on the breed. The breed was started by Teddy Gentry who is a member of the country band Alabama. The history of the breed is interesting. You can't go wrong with a South Poll.
The whole idea of grass genetics is awesome!!! cheeto is beautiful!
Wow, thanks for sharing this video. I miss this stuff. Growing up in south texas helping my uncle working the cows and such was my thing. A blast from the past.
Your cattle are beautiful. They are so cute. I love Tammy. I happened to love donkeys. And I saw her stand in out there. And she's just adorable I didn't realize you could use donkeys for that purpose I love to watch the farm videos and your channel is no exception. They're all beautiful and while taking care of.
It's just nice to get away from desks and pencils for a while. Go back to nature. This helps me to do that. Watching your videos keep them coming. Cheeto is a beautiful bull too. They're funny to watch they really are thanks for posting
Donkey trying to blend in… lol
Love how the cows use the bale of hay to scratch under their chins as its being unrolled! lol!
ps: Also love Cheeto's little blonde "toupee'"! ;)
Theyd love one of those rotating brushes
I LOVE THE DUNKEY .
That’s just too cute . 😂😂
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 God sacrificed himself to himself to appease himself and therefore save humanity from himself. Makes sense.
@@bonnieshall654 try donkey
Learn something new everyday. Been over 25 years since I been around cows, never heard of south pole cows Looking at it , looks like a cross between angus and herefords?
Awesome! Love the grass feed beef. Great to see your Donkey, love them so much. Good luck on your breeding program.
It’s funny how curious cows we don’t think of them that way the looks on their faces when the new bull showed up is great!
We start ours bulls at 12-16 months angus.. 1/8 interbred and crossed with large Canadian Herefords gave us huge balleys that got me the highs of the auctions many times. It took 15 years to accomplish the results we were looking for. Calving was naturally easier with 2nd or 3rd calf cows. We often tried 3 different herd combinations with some AI top bred bulls. Funny the variety just between Angus, let alone crosses.
Tammy, how sweet, just standing there listening 🤗
Love Tammy , my daughter had her horses in with a few dairy cows and they got along fine
What a beautiful, very handsome fella!. I really hope he gives you some superb calves!
I love the donkey observing the spectacle 🤣
Thats the "guard Donkey" If you have any feral dogs around worrying you calves, they'll do a good job of running them off😆😆
@@imapaine-diaz4451 Hard to imagine a cute li'l donkey doing that.
Those cows sure know how to get the new roll of hay started rolling. ☺️
Tamy needs her own episode! unsung hero of the herd!
lol...I love it!
Our SP #8-28 loves hot dog buns! SPs are wonderful to be around.
Greetings from Canada !
SO interesting, loved watching this! AND....I noticed the donkey !
I volunteer at a donkey sanctuary here in Canada, so if you can, if you have time, please let us know what this "guard" donkey does. I see a comment below about "too much grass" for a donkey, and yes, I heard this as well, you must be careful with donkeys, I know that we had a couple of extremely overweight donkeys at the sanctuary that we had to nurse back to health because of whatever diet they had, these beautiful guys put on too much weight!
Tammy eats grass and hay right along side the rest of the animals...has never had any health disparity and is healthy...she gets plenty of exercise and has a great life
Beautiful animals and fun to watch thanks
4:46.....all the ladies are like, "who's the handsome new feller"?
Love Tammy! What a great looking donkey.
SUPER NEAT, FOLK'S!
'Cheetoh' is a nice bull......Exciting & those heifers surely will throw some nice calves...."BULLY FOR CHEETOH"....🐂🐎🙂
Nice to see Miss Stoney Ridge in your video Josh
Oh my gosh Cheeto with his blonde tuft hair is a beech boy. The girls are gonna love him!
My sister and her hubby raise Gelbvieh cows. Their donkey gave birth to a baby girl donkey and they didn't know about it for about a month, ha!!! One day they happen to see the baby with their donkey mom and that's how they found out, can you believe it???
3:18 that floofy cow that keeps jumping on the roller is my spirit animal
Oh man. I was hoping you would get on his back and RIDE him to the other cows. 🤣
I envy you brother. I know it's a lot of work, but city life is really the pits.
I did farm work for my 4H progran in high school..drove combines, harvested corn, stacked hay..seen massive barn owls, avoided angry territorial roosters, drove the Bobcat, and all the 4 wheelers!! Then there was BIG MAX.. huge muscular black bull (Central PA), and i would look at him from waaay over yonder!! Just a MASSIVE ridiculously awesome animal! Mr KopenHaver would say to us city guys "Thats Big Max...and thats all his area...avoid it" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He is a beautiful animal!
I can't get over how straight his back is. I could set dinner on that. 😍
I have been looking at south poll as well. Southern Mamas. Teddy has put together a great breed out of Ft. Payne AL. Cant wait to get ours. Good luck with yours!
That bull is saying “ Whoa,all for me!”
Donkeys are the best for guarding their flock, herd etc.❤❤ used to ride donkeys when i was a kid.i grew up in a mining town in Arizona. The mine used donkeys until they switched over to trucks and the train. So they turned out the donkeys and they increased in number and we kids used to catch and ride. Usually just played with them and gave them carrots.
Nearly eighty yo, remember when my grandfather raised cattle in Texas. All they ever got was grass, they looked fine to me.he liked Hereford Bulls. On the range, you had to watch out for Brahma bulls, they could get ornery and dangerous.
Oh 😅 there's a beautiful donkey too. Getting along in there WOW 😳
I love this new bull! His hairdo is awesome, I would call him Fabio! 😁
Cute!
You have an interesting breeding plan. I love Tammy, she has a big job. ❤
Nice looking South Pole!! Excited for your next calf crop.
Blessings on you always. Good luck on everything!!
