Its the problem through out all of ag. A huge number of people have no clue what it takes to be a rancher/farmer. You obviously know exactly what you are doing! Keep up the great work!
His logic applies to all types of businesses.
ranch is not a petting zoo,
So true! Very big expensive pets😮
Bingo!! 👍🏼👌🏼
Until humans evolve beyond needing meat to supply our protein needs, we have to be able to rationally maintain our food supply. Yes there is the Vegan option for those who's conscience can override their genetics. But the vast majority of us, need to eat the food that our ancestors did. Anyone with a lick of common sense can grasp that those who farm, ranch and fish for the rest of us have an emotional balance to maintain between doing what is necessary while maintaining their compassion for our fellow beings. It's far too easy for some who moralize, from a position of being able to choose, where their food comes from because it arrives in packaged form at the local grocery. Modern civilization let's those who never get soil under their nails or manure on their boots eat very well. The very few who feed us all deserve our utmost respect.
Well said.
My father taught me that there are way too many good cows to even think about keeping a bad cow.
That's great relationship advice. 😂😂😂
So true great comment
Not a bad cow, an unprofitable cow. People who get sentimental forget that these animals are specifically bred and raised to provide their food. You can't expect to eat burgers and steak without someone further up the line making these hard choices.
Years in the military, 30 years in law enforcement and life in general has shown me that there are many ignorant people out there and they are eager to show just how ignorant they really are. Thanks for another great video. 👮🏻♂️👍Chip
That states it perfectly! Thank you!
110% correct! Ok to make mistakes, don't REPEAT with regularity. 👍
Thank you for your services, Chip.
Thanks for your service
Good morning! That cow is not only a money and resource drain, but she’s causing drama with that other cow’s calf.
I am glad to see the rain stopped and the grass growing for you. I am also happy to say that we had about 8 inches of rain at the ranch here in Texas. It seems that prayers have been answered, because our area of Texas was the ONLY area in the state to get that much rain. The cattle are safe, and now the tanks are all full. Now we are waiting for the grass to grow. Keep up the good work FTR.
Btw, I am not sure why anyone would say that we are only in it for the money. This is not a profitable business to be in. You MUST love the lifestyle and the animals to be in this business. There is no profit most of the time.
Tyler, I can’t believe people would say that of you! Anyone watching your videos can clearly see you care deeply about your cattle.
I admire the fact that you put this video out there so us non farmer people get to see the real side of farming!
Tyler you are absolutely right your farm is a business. Sometimes a decision like this can be tough but I have learned that in the cattle business each animal must pull its weigh for the farm to survive.
You are not raising pets - hard decision, but a necessary one for your ranch. Its never easy.
You run your farm how you see fit because at the end of the day nobody in this comment section runs it you do and they only see a few minute video that post so no one should question why you do what you do or don't do on a farm that you have to get up each day and care for. Keep doing you and thanks for taking us along 😊 I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter 🐣
Good morning Tyler! As we all know sometimes being a rancher is not easy. When you have to make that difficult decision I know you do it with a heavy heart. But sometimes the right thing to do is not always the easiest thing to do.
Tyler I would like to ask a question! Even if this cow could have a calf in the future, wouldn’t it be more possible for her offspring to have genetic or pregnancy issues?
Also as far as others questioning you, they have no right. Until someone walks in your shoes they have no idea what really goes on or how you feel.
Keep doing what your doing, your amazing. Gif bless you!
What you said at the end is exactly right. Some will understand, and some never will because they don't want to I guess. There isn't much money in cattle. Great video, you made the right decision, keep up the good work.
Life is about tough decisions and its never clearer than on a ranch. On a lighter note, my Dad used to say "If I won a million dollars, I would just keep ranching til it was all gone,"
Farming/ranching is in your blood, you can't be halfway.
True words
If Dolly Parton was a rancher she’d be flat busted too.
You and Pete from just a few acres farm are my two favorite farm channels to watch keep it up man
PETE! I love Pete too! Did you know he wrote a book?! I just.found out because I have been watching old videos while I wait for new ones! He is crazy smart! Have you tried Hurricane Creek Farms?
Once I found Tyler Pete is history
@@19alfred58 I found Pete because of FTR! Farmer Tyler mentioned him in a video once and I'm hooked on both!
Good morning! Right call to make. It's a business decision for you and your family
Tyler from what I’ve seen over the years that you’ve being on this channel, you love your animals, you love farming, and yes, there are more lucrative things that you could be doing, but this is where your heart wants to be. This is a tough time of the years every year, because it’s when you see if all your work has paid off. And yes, this is your living, what supports yourself and your family. You have to be wise. You have to weed out who isn’t producing, or who isn’t healthy, and you have to weed them out and bring them to be slaughtered. I know every time it’s really tough on you when one doesn’t work out for whatever reason, but it’s simply apart of farming. I can’t imagine having to go through all this and than on top of that have to answer to people who just don’t understand farming. I’m sorry you have to go through that as well.
Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing. Looking forward to your next video. 🙂 Greetings to you and your family 🙂
I couldn’t agree more!
Me too! Great rancher!
😢Hello. BAD ADVICE. SIR. 😢 DON'T TELL PEOPLE TO QUIT THEIR JOBS TO FOLLOW THEIR DREAMS.😢😢. I WONDERED HOW YOU MADE YOUR LIVING YOU HAVE NO VISIBLE MEANS OF SUPPORTING YOURSELF. 😢😢 A HANDFUL OF COWS NOT GOING TO PAY THE BILLS.😢😢. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOMEBODY SUPPORTING YOU A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T.😢😢 GET A JOB WORK 30 YEARS RETIRE WORK YOUR HOBBY FARM. HAVE FUN
@@stevebegley9873 ? Why are you saying this here? Why not say it in the main comments? First of all, He did not tell any to quit their jobs. He said that if someone did want to do that here’s how it worked for him. And he said that he receives support from doing RUclips videos, which most people who watch his video already know that he receives income from his videos. Last point, even if he said for someone to quit, which I do not believe he is saying, he cannot make someone do anything. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
We had a small cow herd [only do hay now] and when you first started describing what was happening with #50(?) my dear wife said "he needs to get rid of that cow..." so I agree with you, anyone who has worked with cows will tell you you are doing the best thing. Keep the video's coming, I'm reliving some of my past life through you...
I just wanted to add this thought. I’m amazed that you read what seems like all your comments. You have over 103,000 subscribers. It doesn’t show how many comments anymore, wish it did, but anyway that’s an amazing thing to read so many comments. And as you put it “some will understand, and some won’t, you can’t please everyone”. You have to do what is best for you.
Great job!
Okay this is the next day and so far there are over 300 comments. So they didn’t remove the count, good. 🙂
Well today on the FTR we see the tough side of ranching!! I think you've addressed all the issues! Never easy, never fun but essentially part of life. Good post, tough one but honest and to the point. Keep the course Tyler!!
Tyler and Mrs FTR, y’all are doing what is best for your family and your business! I’m sorry that you have to deal with people who just don’t understand farming and they don’t want to learn about it either. If people have legit questions, that’s one thing but to throw insults is another. I’m a huge animal lover but I still wrote down things that we could and could t tolerate out of animals. It’s difficult, but it’s what you have to do. Y’all love your animals, and that evident in everything you do! Your ranch is looking nice and green! I know your cows will love being back on those beautiful pastures soon! Love from Oklahoma! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Thanks for another look into the management of your farm. I think you are doing a fantastic job and greatly appreciate getting to see all the things you work on. May God bless you and your family as you continue in your endeavors.
Culling cattle is a part of ranching. You are raising beef and you have to make money to be able to keep ranching.
The same people complaining that you culled her, are the same ones that think their food some how magically appears at the grocery store. 🤔 Keep doing what your doing Tyler. 👍
It's your livelihood, not a soap opera. Your did the correct thing. Keep up the good work.
I understand completely. I’m still glad that you kept Buddy.. He touched everyone’s hearts.💖
I raised cattle off and on for 30 years and I have culled many cows and bulls. You have absolutely nothing to apologize for.
I have watched your channel long enough to understand completely why you culled this cow. I support your decision entirely.
It is unfortunate that it turned out this way, but c'est la vie.
Looking forward to your next video...
I’m quite confident that you know what you’re doing Tyler! keep doing what you’re doing!!🐂👍🏽
All this time I figured you were banking money. Just Kidding! Every rancher I follow is managing to get by! Tyler you care for your animals like most ranchers!
You take wonderful care of your animals, just ignore the negative Nancy's. Keep on farming. I love watching you and your family. ❤
Tyler, thank you for taking the opportunity to help teach others. We know you struggle with these decisions because you care for your heard. I remember last year with the blind calf. You did everything you possibly could to make sure you were making the correct decision. Thank you for ranching and making real videos with real content.
I've watched Tyler for over 4+ years and he shows himself to be a selfless rancher, always looking for better ways to care for his animals and improve his ranch.
Some things have to be done so you can support your family. Hurts but has to be done. Love that you share with us. God ,bless..
Farmer Tyler, letting people be wrong about you or a situation while keeping your peace and focus, is the most misunderstood power move you will ever make. Your true followers, admirers, and pupils (because we learn so much) love and respect you. You're a good honest man, making a good and honest living. I know you don't know me but I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. I've watched you grow exponentially in the time I've been watching.
Much respect Tyler for the tough decisions you make. Here in Australia we have a saying - "Don't criticize farmers when your mouth is full". So many of us know the care you have for ALL your animals, please remember that over the nay-sayers. Kind regards from Australia.
You're doing a good job. The negativity from some people that do not understand farming & ranching. Thanks for showing the gross the saddest and the happiness of it all.
Yes, I understand where you are coming from. You are running a business. Decisions have to be made. You made the right one.
Take care. The best to you and your family. Always enjoy your videos.
You hit the nail on the head when you stated “theirs a lot easier work to do for more money “ one doesn’t work as hard as you do for the money ! Great video and good job rounding up that cow
Ya know Tyler, some people just don’t get it. But those of us who watch your videos week after week see first hand just how much you care about those animals. You show it with everything you do. Ignore the ignorance of those who just want to judge and be negative.
You 100% made the right decision in culling that cow. Plus one other factor you didn’t mention (that I heard) was that even if she did successfully calve on another breeding attempt, you’d be genetically propagating her reproductive issues into your herd; that would lead to bigger and more wide-spread issues down the road for you and cost you even more time, money and productivity…..as others have said, we’re ranching, not raising a petting zoo. Keep up the great work on your ranch and in your videos!!
I totally understand what you are saying and doing. You are a business and unless you run it like a business you will be out of business. You are so patient explaining everything to your viewers and it's too bad it they don't agree with you. It's your farm and your animals. Keep it up!! Love watching your videos!
You are doing what needs to be done with your cattle, and I'm glad you called out those ignorant people who make accusations.
Good decision! Though, It's a hard one, you were right to do so. Former farmer🌵🤠
Yes, I so understand I will never forget when my favorite milk cow had to be sold...broke my heart but as a farm kid I knew it had to happen! You know I still remember her...never forgot, I know we all get attached and when that semi left all of us parents and all us kids were real quiet for a few hours...yes, I do understand!
Been with my wife 31 yrs...she was a farm girl, still remembers 1 ewe she bottle fed as a lamb when she was a lil girl and watched her grow up and have lambs. She remembers that day she had to go....still.
Yuuup, it's a business, as you say, Farmer Tyler !! It's NOT a petting zoo !! I certainly understand that. You have demonstrated on many occasions that you REALLY DO CARE about your animals !!
It's what's called "taking the rough with the smooth" !! Welcome to farming !!
Thanks for explaining the tough decisions you have to deal with to feed people. great video, I really enjoy your content and look forward to your next post.
FTR; Please Ignore the steak gobbling critics, they're not credible, they've never walked in your shoes. They would rather criticize than educate themselves. They think Food stores grow meat!! Thank you for all the very interesting ranch life videos. All the realities of the bad, sad and good of it! You are also a talented videographer. I felt like I was right there riding that vehicle with you with my eye on that cow! Gotta love all you three/four-wheeler Cowboys! Seed Ranch just did a humungous round up with their four wheelers! May God Bless you all!
You made all of the right decisions. Hard as they might be..........😊
Great attitude and excellent business sense. Love the videos. Ignore the haters. They wouldn't make it as a rancher even if given the opportunity.
It's sad that she developed this problem. I've seen this on other channels I watch. And this is why I'm glad someone else has to make the decisions. Besides, what to people think happens to all those steers you ship off?
It's a shame, cause she seems like a good mother, but she's also interfering in the mothering process for that calf.
Anyone who doesn't think you care about your animals should go back and watch your channel. I know you do. And your margins are so small, I know that too.
The title says it all: hard choices.
Soooo glad your weather has improved!!! Your hay supply is skinny!!!
You did what you have to do and what is right for your ranch ❤️
I wouldn’t worry about what some of those people say or think… you always make the best decisions possible… putting your family before your cattle is an easy decision! Love the videos
Keep doing what you're doing Tyler. You're a great farmer and even better person.
I have a problem selling heifers and cows! But I don't have thousands of acres so a manageable number must be kept, sometimes that means culling older cows, sometimes its heifers... Just the nature of the game, unfortunately!
Great job on running your cattle. If anyone watching can't see you take care of your herd. Well explaining it to them they still won't get it!
You have got to love those Armchair Ranchers ! Most have never even smelled a cow and they try to tell you how to raise Cattle .
I just sent a bull off to the butcher. He didn’t make babies so he made burger. It’s farm life. Lorie 😊
😂😂🙌
So sorry for this hard decision.
It's apparent to those truly watching that you very much care for your animals.
How are the chicks doing?
Have a great day.
Keep up the great job you are doing with your ranch 🎉
Good to see you being honest about tough decisions, respect your knowledge and experience!
Request, could you tell us how far apart your fields/farms/pastures are? I’m curious are they 5 minutes drive away or 45 minutes? Not sure why I’m interested, I guess when you say I need to go back to get a tool, I’m sort of interested in how far that is. Thanks so much!
I would like to know this as well😊
As in any business you have to make tough decisions. Tyler we appreciate your videos and showing where are food comes from.
Right on with your explanation, Tyler! But, like you said, some folks will never understand
At our local sale barn yesterday market cows brought up to $1.07 per pound. I know it sucks culling members of the herd, but the land payments never stop. I sold my first herd bull today and am in the dumps about it since he's been here for years now. But it's a business, not a petting zoo.
FTR, your are running a business and doing a fine job of it. If peoples feelings get hurt then they need to get ahold of life in general.
Tyler you are running a ranch not an animal retirement home, you are doing the right thing, keep up with your great work
It’s never easy to make decisions like this , especially when you love what your doing but it’s the right call in my book 😊 keep moving foward
You know what you're doing and the mix of care and business is good for both man and animal. Especially if the animal is respected and you do. People can't understand unless they've lived it. Don't let them bother you. Those same people who love to have a perfectly cooked steak are the ones who speak the loudest..... Where do they think that steak comes from? Keep up the good work.
It’s easy to tell you REALLY care about you cattle’s well being!!
Good morning
Hard decisions are always needed to be made on a farm or ranch. Totally agree with your decision. Thanks for sharing.
Don’t worry about what people say because i do the same thing on my ranch to
Always love your postings. You obviously love what you do and you do it well! Love to watch you use your gifts to fabricate farm equipment, hay feeders and barns and repairs and restoration is fascinating. Thank you for your love for your cows. Keep up the great work
I am not in the agricultural industry, I am a retired designer in Florida. But even I can see this cow must go. She could cost you your ranch, if you keep her and the weather and feeding options continue in way they have the last few years. No business could make that kind of a choice.
Tyler, I understand, The vet comes Thursday afternoon when we run the herd through the head gate. I have a cow that should have had a calf in late February and she must have aborted it. I will be making the same decision Thursday evening.
You have to do what you have to do….it can’t be an easy decision for you but that’s the business of farming
Thank you for your work and program. Don't worry about those that know little about farm life. Keep up your great work. FROM Georgia
Good Analysis. Hard decision but the right one.
Great perspective Tyler! Ranching is definitely a passion and not a get rich quick scheme! 👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🤘🏻🤘🏻
people know it all when their livelihood is not in question
Sorry to hear about that Tyler. Many people have already stated the obvious, about that subject at the end. Enough said.. I hope that's the only casualty you have this year. Take care bud!
I literally just said this on Twitter about a situation: Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not everyone's opinion matters!!!
For someone to accuse you of not caring about your animals, as well as you take care of them and treat them; Those are the EXACT people that do not matter in life!!! kEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Farming/ranching is not a perfect world like some people think they live in.
I gravitate toward all those farmers/ranchers that view tough decisions with prudence, but mostly heart.
Lots of gravity going on here!
Your intelligence, direction and "heartfelt thinking" should inspire us all!
I don't have a problem at all with cull cows or you Tyler. You aren't ranching to lose money. If someone considered just having a cow as a pet, they would be shocked at how much hay they eat! In my area $30-35 a 3 wire bale for grass hay. That wouldn't last a week. Sorry for your loss💙
You’re absolutely correct 👍
First timer, here. That was awesome and straight up. Love the balance between business and true animal husbandry.
Very understandable Mr Tyler I get it when you explained to us about the cow. Enjoying your video's 👍🏼🎉 have a great week.
Ranching is hard work, it’s a labor of love.
That tiny blip of totally dead air when pushing cows toward the trailer. 🤣🤣 Boy, I definitely get that!!!
Great video you can't worry about what people think you're doing a great job
Glad to see green grass, and no rain!
Selamat pagi
Saya sangat terkesan anda adalah Peternak yg luar biasa👍👍💪
Great statement Tyler. I couldn't have said it any better. Man, your place is beautiful in spring! May God richly bless you young man.
You do an awesome job and and it's pretty easy to see how much you care for the animals keep up the great work and Thanks for the entertainment
Hello Tyler, Thanks for another informative and enjoyable RUclips video, of a day of your life on the farm. Having watched your videos for quite a while now, I recognize you as a very thoughtful person whom I would enjoy knowing as a friend.
It seems that you had “quite a ride” while trying to persuade that cow to head for the corral, and I was feeling concerned for your safety as you were needing to negotiate your way between trees, and to keep a safe distance away from fences, and to not fall from the top of the levee. Please take care. Best wishes from Australia.
Don’t listen to the negative comments. It’s your business and you know what you’re doing.
Ty for the educated explanation. Watching you get her into the trailer was cool. Not as simple as it would seem. Keep up the great work on your ranch & with this channel.
Good video Tyler, it’s okay to have 2nd chances on a ranch, but I cull those on the 3rd strike too.
Makes sense to me, and I do Trust you
This is good very good education for people the think the ranchers or farmers are for the profit We care about the animals that we ranch or farm. Like you said we know this Animals we see them every day and spend time with them.
Thank you!
You have to do wants best for you and the ranch. I have been watching from almost the start and have seen the care you give your ranch. Thank you for keeping us informed.
You are a wonderful teacher & a kind soul...😇
