Bringing Cattle to Summer Pasture in the Mountains!

- -Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.
I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.

Never get tired of looking at the beauty of the Black Hills. There are a lot of farmers just north and east of you that would pay a pretty penny for that rain.
We will try to send them some!
GOOD GRASS= HAPPY COWS= HAPPY RANCHER...LOL..GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE...
Great analogy about weeds!
love all the drone shots I miss the Black Hills
Bet those cows love the cooler temps up there!
Oh they do!
A beautiful "office" youall have.
THANKS!
Till again between the rows and then take some old hay or straw and put
between the
rows of
vegetables and that will help keep the weeds out and will help keep the moisture in the ground. God bless and please pray for us in SE south Dakota as we have not had any measurable
rain since May 11th and its now June 22nd
Thanks Jim! I will do that!
Amazingly beautiful country.
The garden looks good to me! the weeds aren't going anywhere; they'll be there when you're ready to pull them out.
Haha that’s for sure! Thanks Kathy!
Good times! Thanks for letting me ride along. I had a great time!
It was a lot of fun! You bet!
Thank You for sharing your family with us. God Bless
You can toss some oat seed in the grass if you are looking for something to grow fast. How is the pony you had by your house? Drone shots are great as always. Damaris' garden looks fine. First year gardens you never know what you will get. Spread a little of the barn yard cleaning in there for her late this fall. My last garden the first year we got tiny disfigured carrots, small onions, a few potatoes and small watermelon. Not much grew and the next year I put the chickens in the garden helped with bugs and weeds. Glad you guys are all well.
Thanks for the ideas Badger Pa! I ended up selling that horse, we ended up being pretty dangerous to have around so we cut our losses, hope you are doing well!
Good to see that you are getting some moisture! Even if you have to work out in it. We could really use some! Take care my friend
We’ll try to send you some Michael! Thanks man!
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful land. Beautiful animals and beautiful people. I enjoy your videos. They're very relaxing. And I love the garden weeds and all who cares. At least there's going to be food there! ❤
Thanks Donna!
All those cows and calves look really good…….. I love the drone shots….It is amazing how the cows and calves pair up after being separated…. Oh wow..when it was raining and working the cows reminded of when loaded hogs in the rain…and it always seemed Ed that’s when we did it…I’m sure those love it on the range…probably cooler and lots of grass….Demarius s garden coming along pretty good….Actually the weeds wasn’t that bad…I have seen a lot worse….Great video..Thanks for taking us along!!!!😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks a lot Deb, hope you are doing well!
Beauty and the hills and you sir! And Ol dad the mom!!!!😊
Oooooh the sights and sounds of cattle and their calves going up to green lush pastures and the music with the drone shots.
. Those cattle will be ready for another winter come fall. The garden is looking good and the chickens too. You need a tiller and a little hoe hoe hoeing to make those veggies grow grow growing! Thanks for sharing Carson and Damaris and all of you.
Some of the weeds are good foods, check it out. Maybe consider mulching the vegetables too. Weeds can be mulch or chicken food.
Hard working life style style in beautiful country. Love your videos!
Thanks Penny!
I seen an old western one a lot of times. Real life so cool! Folks need to see this!!😊
Beautiful day💞
Loved the drone footage green grass and black Angus oowee don’t get no better man what a sight Carson pure dee beauty.
That’s the truth Dale!
i love to watch the cattle drives/moves....and the garden is coming along! Blessings!
Good job! A little rain is nice
Beautiful drone footage!! Nice to see Damaris & garden is coming along 🤞 Thanks for sharing your journey ❤
Thanks Marilyn!
You never get rid of the weeds garden in a temperate climate, just had aweek of -5 celcius frosts, most weeds are still growing as the soil temperature is still incredibly high at 10 degrees Celsius.
Gardens growing looks good.
Lots of stuff in your garden. Love the drone footage. It’s so peaceful to watch. 👍❤️🇨🇦
Thanks!
Thanks
That had to be fun loading the cows in the rain and mud. Have to say that was a great save to separate the cow and calf with that gate. Could tell how frustrated the calf was when the gate stopped it in it's tracts. Glad the weather was better in the second half of the video when unloading the cattle. Making good use of your drone with each video, especially with moving the cows to the summer pasture.
Thank you Ben! Yeah it was kind of fun! Haha
We are at the end of our garden,green beans,tomatos,squash,zuchinni and cucumbers and some of our weeds were chin high.We live in south Louisiana.Thanks for sharing.
Yum! Thanks for watching!
Pasture looks really good
Great to see South Dakota getting so much rain!!! It looks beautiful!
Another beautiful video, thanks again for sharing your lives with us.
Thanks for watching Robert!
Such beautiful country
I love this time of year with your videos. Just taking in the beautiful scenery. No judging from me on the weeds. Sometimes life is busy. After seeing all the rain you guys got last night, I was sure praying you didn't have a flooded basement. Looked crazy bad. Just got caught up on the videos. Stay strong Damaris you look tired. Sending prayers
Thank you Lynn! Yes we got a lot of rain again but no water in the basement! Hope you are doing well, God Bless!
Not the easiest climate for a garden, but I give Maris a lot of respect. It's growing! PS: If you watch Justin Rhodes, he has a huge chicken run right alongside his garden. Weeds from the garden go into the chicken run, and compost from the chicken run go into the garden. Wishing you an abundant harvest!
Thank you Mary! That sounds really cool!
Just don’t be like Justin r and eat raw chicken innards, it almost killed him! Just sayin’…
Love what y’all do thanks..!
Thanks Coy!
Love the country and the cattle.. Garden is growing and soon you guys will enjoy the produce in it
Thanks Brent!
Love your videos! Its crazy to me that all those calves can find their mamas!
It is crazy! They are amazing!
Enjoyed the video. im glad you got all the cattle moved. The grass looks good.
Thanks Terry!
Rain is good but you should send some east to your fellow cattle rancher & RUclipsr - Sonne Farms..:) :)
I’ll try! Haha
Always good to get the rain…even when it makes things messy 😂 Demaris,your garden looks good and a few weeds won’t keep all those wonderful vegetables from tasting YUMMY!🍅🌶️😉 Thanks for taking us along on another adventure with your cattle Carson. As always it’s so beautiful and enjoyable. God Bless to all🙏🏻💓
Thanks for watching Marlana! God Bless and Take Care!
The place where you live is very beautiful.l always choose the countryside. It is much better than living in the city.
Thanks man!
That Trump is a handsome horse! Great drone footage! The garden tour was as delightful as the narrator. "Everybody's life has weeds" are words to live by.
Thanks Daryl!
Pasture is looking great buddy! Have to come visit soon!
I’d be happy to have you Kohl!
Beautiful pasture land 👍❤
Black garden cloth or heavy mulch helps keep the weeds away. 😊
Thanks!
Beautiful drone footage!
Awesome drone footage.
Your garden is looking great
Awesome video, I love seeing different parts of the country and scenery! Thank you
I like the drone footage too,, I like it when you herd cattle on horseback, Trump is such a good-looking horse.
Thanks John!
Glad to see someone appreciating what our state’s got
👍
The horses are beautiful! The Black Hills are magical! Great gate work on that one calf!
Thanks Merv!
Enjoyed your video but missed seeing Silas. Hope he's well.
Great views! ❤
Awesome!
Howdy from west Texas! 🤠
Howdy!
I'm glad the weather was nice when you unloaded the herd. I really enjoy the drone footage ❣️ Demaris's garden is coming along nicely. 😊
Thanks Tracy!
Great video! Beautiful drone videos. It makes me want to be there.
Carson, I've been meaning to ask why you separate the cows and calves for transport? I thought maybe because it saves possible injury to calves and ease of transport.
Damaris, great looking garden. Gardening like everything else is a learning process. You learn and adapt. Next year's garden will be better than this year, the following year will be better than next year. Great gardening starts with the first seed you plant.
Calves go in the upper compartment of the trailer and cows in lower. It’s also safer for the calves so they don’t get trampled
@@reubenmiller30 Thank you for letting me know. I was thinking it was along those lines. Take care.
Yep Rueben’s got it right! Thank you!
Will your wife help work the cows like your mom does? ... when the baby gets older, of course😊. Has she worked cattle before? I know she's a nurse now.
Thanks for sharing your life with us! I'm an old lady in Southern California and in poor health so I do so enjoy watching your journey as a new experience. Your family is very charming. I love the cows and calves interacting. Also, lol the bulls are great fun to see, from far away! Lol.
Thanks again for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Yep she will help more and enjoys coming a long now! I hope you stay healthy and feel well!
We can’t get drop rain in Indiana it’s critical here. You guys are lucky …!
We’ll try to send you some!
Surprised how much rain you have been getting. Especially considering how dry it is in the mid west. Your pastures look great.
Yeah it has been a huge blessing!
Great video 📹 👍
Throw some straw or old hay on that garden and don't worry about weeding!
Thanks for the idea!
A u-tube family I follow in Alabama has mobile chicken coops made from old trailers where they move them to fresh grass throughout the summer so they can eat grubs and such.
Rhode island refs.
The biggest "chicken " they have is named nugget the Emu.
They call him the "sheriff ".
Enjoy you sharing life where you are.Thankyou.
I’ll check em out! Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the drone footage of the beautiful country and the cattle. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Kevin!
Do not feel bad about your garden, here in the NW due to cold Summer only thing growing is potatoes and squash. Even the berries are little this year, although it looks like our apple crop will be good.
I miss rain, hasn’t rained here for 4 months. St.Paul,Minnesota.
We will try to send you guys some!
@@sleepranch Vaya con Dios.
Lil damp😊
Using landscaping fabric eliminates weeds.
I assume the calves go on the top deck of the trailer , the cattle go on the lower deck. In Reno county kansas there is an area that has red soil. The people that farm it call it red jaw.
Yep that’s about right! I like the name Red Jaw!
Харош 👍🙂
Once they are up in the fields, how often does someone go up there and check on the herd?
We check them a few times a week!
Never been to South Dakota. Was thinking "Black Hills" might mean black dirt. Guess not. Our area also has red dirt. Lots of clay & red sandstone where I live. Is that the same? Don't know the geology. My Dad used to have a big garden. Thanks for sharing your life with us. Very interesting.
Yep the soil is probate very similar! Thanks!
Hi
I’m also a mom, a nurse and I don’t pay any mind to weeds in my gardens - really feeling like Damaris and I could get along great 😂😊
I bet you guys would!
Great looking pasture because of lots of rain. Fine calves 200 to 250 lbs?
Yeah they are probably pushing 250-300
Is each “moo” unique? Is that how mother and child find each other?
Yeah I think it helps! Mostly the find each other by a unique scent!
Drone was spot on in today video... Just gorgeous pasture up there. Thanks Carson & we always love to see Damaris Love & Peace
Thanks Pinky! Take Care!
🌹🌹🌹🌹
Don't remember vid if u did whe u start your beets and potatoes, approximately
I believe it was mid may!
She knows how to grow a garden, so I think you should keep her brother, but first ask Silas. I'm sure he'll say yes, oh, well I don't know.😂
😂😂I think we both agreed to keep her! Haha
Calves are getting huge. How did those cows do that got lost up there last fall?
They did just fine! Bounced back and are in the herd!
Which village view
How far are you from Mount Vernon South Dakota? Sonne Farms suffering drought.
Mount Vernon is a little over 300 miles away! Hopefully they will get some moisture!
How is your hurt bull??????
When will you wean the calves?
November!
You ever lose any animals to predators up in the hills?
Now and then but not too frequently!
Hi there love the name of your Hoss Boss Trump all the Way
Red ???
Are you thinking of another baby soon? Don't worry about the garden.
My goodness, Thomas; I think we should allow the young couple a moment to breathe and flourish before we start to pressure them to have another kid! After all & in my experience, it is the traditional job of the grand and great grandmas to demand babies by the gross.😊
@@pettyfogger2305 Silas is so cute you want them to have a bakers dozen, but would not suggest that.
Man lord willing we will have some more! Haha
Demaras don’t you be worrying about weeds you work you have a baby you have a husband and your growing a garden….weeds are the least of your problems….I have weeds in my veg also….
How would you like to be hit like what your doing to that cow… it can’t go any faster due to other in front of it so why beat it like that. 🤨
Interesting that RUclips decided to advertise Hersheys plant based chocolate on your channel. I’m not buying anything plant based.
