“Watched pot never boils”! I bet it is hard to wait!😊😊😊 New calves are so precious!
love how they just look up at you and go back to eating.
Yep they’re pretty wild aren’t they? Haha! Thank you Cora!
Awesome compilation of the calve inspection. Day to day documentation made this a great watch for anyone new cow calving
Great work with those beautiful animals.
CONGRATULATIONS ... More to come!
This has got to be one of my favourite videos
The bottle calf is so cute!
Such a good feeling to see calves! You sure have better luck with twins than we do! Always seem to have a stillborn. Best of luck!
Yes I’m glad they’re finally here. So far my luck has been good but as you know that can change fast. Trust me I’ve lost way more twins (one or both) over the years than I’ve had survive. If Mom can get them out ok they usually make it. So knock on wood!! We’ll see what happens! Thanks Jesse
@@farmertylerranch4399 great video. My dad wants to know if your house is a southwestern Adobe style home? Either way it is pretty, we like the color of it.
Don't know how you came across my YT feed,but you have a new subscriber. Love your commentary and farm animals in general especially the wittle babies 👶🏻
Thanks Jane and welcome to the channel!
You can't beat that feeling of new life being born all a round you. Its great how you show how you care for your cows and calves. Great video
Awww Congratulations. They're well on their way now. The calf you're feeding soooo cute. I'll come over and do the feeding. Awww I'd love too. All shifts for me 🌹💟🌹
The bottle calf is so adorable and this is something you will never forget .
A bottle baby!!!!!!!
This is where buddy came from then!
Good morning , a channel i love!
that is one cute calf hugssss
Thanks Tammy he sure is!
Calving season is my favorite time of year! Hope you have a great calving season Tyler
Thanks Brad mine too! Stressful but also the most rewarding and exciting. As ranchers we should come up with our own version of a seasons greetings- would it be, Merry calving season? Happy calving season? Haha thanks again I hope things go well for you too!
Thanks for the video. I would love to have a green pasture like that to have calves on. But since we're in a different region but that won't happen. The twin calves are nice size. That's the best way to do it make a bottle calf out of the one. Hope you have a great day
Thanks Eric. Yes I was surprised she delivered them unassisted being as big as they were. Hope your little girl is feeling better today!
@@farmertylerranch4399 she is thank you next checkup appointment is in April. Hope you have a great afternoon calving season is stressful but yet it's the most fun time of the year to watch them Jump Around have a great evening
This is the best time in your life enjoy it
Video cracked me up..I’ve been doing the exact thing with my girls! Enjoying your channel
Thank you so much Finch Road Farms! I get a little impatient when I know they’re getting close! Thanks for watching
I used to be the feeder of my uncles bottle calves. I liked doing that.
It is a pretty cool job I must say. Very rewarding!
we had bull calves every for beef in the fall, as kids we shared the task of bottle feeding, they're so adorable
Great video! I don't calve until the end of April up here in MN but it got me in the mood!
Awesome Josh! Yeah I guess it would be a bit chilly for those calves any earlier than that. Well it’s going to be here before you know it! Good luck this year!
We had a bottle calf in the tube one time while we put a pen together
FULL AGREEMENT on the weather!
Liked your video. Had a friend calve 24 cows with 8 sets of twins one year. Needless to say he was a bit frustrated.
Wow that is unbelievable!! I bet he was a bit frustrated! Did he get the mothers to raise any or did he have 8 bottle calves? That is crazy. Thank you Barry I appreciate you watching!
Congrats on the successful start to calving season! Hopefully Hopefully you don't end up with too many bottle babies. As always, a very well put together video!
Thanks Chris yeah so far we’re doing good but still a long way to go! I think my wife wouldn’t mind a few more bottle calves haha! Glad you enjoyed the video man. Are you still on the road?
Congratulations on your new baby momma Tyler!
Finally some new additions to the ranch. Just don't give your new patio mate a name or you have a family member! Good video as always.
Thanks Alan! Yeah it took long enough but they’re finally here. My wife’s got her mind made up she wants to keep him as a pet so I might be in trouble already with that one! Thanks again!
Awesome video. Excellent commendatory. God bless you & your family for taking so much care of those cows & their calves. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations Tyler!
Thank you Marcos!
You have been busy! We have two bottle babies (goats) in the house right now lol
Haha! I’m about 90% sure my wife had the calf in the house while I was at work. She won’t admit it, but sometimes you just know!! Thanks DFF!
Off to a great start. I hope calving season continues to go well!
Thanks yeah me too!
Good laughs at you,Don’t know what they are waiting for,Waiting on nature,women wonder what am l waiting for, let’s get this over,please
Awesome video buddy! Glad to see all the healthy cows oh and the baby goat haha! Your going to be an even busier guy now, thanks for taking us along! Really liked this one, excited to watch future ones. Take care Tyler!
Thanks a lot Dave. Yes things ramped up a bit around here last week for sure! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video, I think I’ve got some more good ones coming up as spring is here and things are starting to happen! Thanks again
I think I'll make a bad rancher because I have the tendency to just go around and pet the cows, not a way to run a business, the shot with the calf was super cute.
Haha that’s pretty funny Zeze! Thanks!
You have such beautiful babies everywhere! I hope to build a little goat here on our property. You have great looking animals too!
Thank you Kristin!
I hope this year is going better than a few years back? I retired from other warehouse job.
Cattle look good. They’re going to start popping like popcorn. You need a cold front to make things start to move.
Yes I think you’re right. Usually we get 3 or four, then a few days of nothing, and then, boom! Here they come! And weather does bring them, no doubt! Thanks HFT!
Hey sorry I am late and such I'm looking at old video of yours
Hey no worries! Thanks for checking out the old videos I hope you’re enjoying them. Thanks Maverick!
Looks like a nice family pet on the deck
There’s that word again, “pet”. My wife keeps saying it too! Yeah I’m thinking we got ourselves a family pet here! Too many women in my family will hate me if he goes to the sale! Thanks John!
Glad I am not the only one that is out numbered. I went to the store to get dog food and came home with ducks and chickens. Now they are living in my bathroom as it is still winter and we have four feet of snow on the ground
You seen to be lucky with twins. Careful your bottle calf will become a playmate for your dogs lol. Looks like your having good weather to calve in. Hope your calving season goes good for ya. Have you ever mixed a little goats milk in with your milk replacer for your bottle calves? Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kory, yeah one of my dogs is quite fascinated with the calf already. So far the weather has been great and looks like it’s going to hold. I’ve never tried goat milk for calves. Piglets do great on it but never tried calves. Thanks for watching!
@@farmertylerranch4399 I milked a couple of goats when I was Kid and we used to feed the milk to my pigs and then we got a bottle calf and we can mix a little bit of that goat's milk in with the replacer you had to watch though cuz the milk was so rich
Mine come in my kitchen for the first little while.most of the time it's storming and they are dieing so in the warm house till dry,standing and hopefully drinking.then out to the barn.
Yeah I can see me doing that in really bad weather too! Luckily these guys were born on a beautiful day and the weather is pretty mellow here. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed it!
Be thankful for the extra calves.
Oh believe me I am. Any live calf is a good one! Even if I do have to bottle them really I don’t mind. Thanks for watching Diamond Heart Ranch!
I use the twins for adoption if I loose one. At least mom has a baby then and you can keep that good cow. I can show you what I do if it happens, hopefully not but you know how it goes.
Thank you very much. I’ve done it a few times but like you said, hopefully it doesn’t come to that! Thank you very much for subscribing too! I really appreciate it
that bottle calf looks like he was enjoying the truck ride
Yeah he liked it so much he was kicking and wrestling with joy (I assume)!!
Yeah he liked it so much he was kicking and wrestling with joy (I assume)!!
great video/ Ive had 2 so far waiting everyday for the rest
Thanks Jason. Good luck with calving!
@@farmertylerranch4399 I had 2 more calves yesterday, Awesome!!!!!!!!
I had a set of twins last night and the older calf the cow doesn't want. We have had 3 sets this year last year we had 17 sets of twins and that is a pain especially when they come backwards or are tangled and you have to pull them.
Wow 17 sets that’s crazy! Yeah I couldn’t believe that cow had the first set unassisted. They were pretty good size. So far we’ve been lucky this year but hell we’re just getting started!
💕 calf 🐄💕
Seem just like sheep, some bag up and go for weeks, others it all happens fast, also the largest ones seem to take forever and the thin ones just pop them out when not ready, I am yet to breed mine, so good to see how it goes, oh, and sheep also know to have them on days that I need to rush to work...lol, well, really, they just come anytime, but sure seems to be when not so convenient for me....lol
Yep cows are the same way! Haha! Thanks Greg
Two heifers, bulls or you end up with a freemartin? Adorable new babies regardless!
Both sets were freemartins wouldn’t you know! The heifer calf from the black set had some markings on her face that I can easily recognize but I had to tag the red white face one because she just looked like all the other red white face heifers. Thanks Allie!
@@farmertylerranch4399 Oh geesh! Figures...Mother Nature tries her best I know, but sometimes I gotta wonder! Thanks for your response ☺️
Tyler, Calving on grass looks like a lot better deal then snowdrifts. Hahaha. Seems like I get a set of twins every year also
Yes I imagine it is! You know I’d never even heard of a “calf warmer” until I started watching RUclips! So what’s your protocol for twins? Let the cow raise both? Bottle feed one? Give one away? Depends on the situation? I’m interested in what others do. Thanks Kmsfarms!
I really base my decision on the cow. If it’s a cow who has a lot of milk, and loves both calves, I’ll let her raise both. If I have another cow lose a calf, I will graft one of the twins. That way I have a cow with a job and end up with 2 bigger calves to sell rather than a set of twins that didn’t get enough milk. Hope that makes sense.
Yes makes perfect sense. I’ve done all of the above and still not sure what the “right” way is. Like you say, depends on the cow. Thanks Kms!
Great video how many acres do you have
Thank you. Total (owned and leased) is around 120-150. It’s not much but it’s very productive ground that can handle a high stocking rate. Thanks for watching!
Bottle calf is looking good.
Awwwwwww so cute
Four years ago - but what the heck !!
Kinda curious what are bottle calves bringing in your area? Heard the other day cow/calf pair no saled they split them ,calf brought $400 and pounded the cow out ... i believe because nobody has any hay around here...wished i had more hay just seems to be a good time to expand or maybe resale when grass greens up !! Looking good so far , hope calving continues to go well for ya !!
To tell you the truth I have no idea what bottle calves go for around here. I’ve never bought one and I’ve never sold one! I’d imagine pairs would bring a premium now because the grass is waking up, that’s usually how it goes. Sounds like the perfect time to expand BTO! If you can get pairs for around $1000 the calf almost pays for both of them at the first sale. Thanks for watching BTO!
I’m currently waiting for my cows to have valves and I keep checking everyday just hoping that there will be a calf or something like that and waiting is so hard for me because I’m an impatient person :/
They’ll come soon enough, good luck with everything!
Now?
...How about now? .....
Now?
Finally a few pop out!
Haha! Hopefully another one or two today! I’ll at least feel better once all the heifers are done. Thanks a lot Jon!
Congrats on the babies! Any chance that bottle calf can be grafted onto a nurse cow? Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more videos!
Thanks a lot BCDFWA. Yes grafting is an option if I have a cow lose a calf. That’s definitely something I’ll consider if the opportunity presents itself. I’m glad you guys are enjoying the videos, or at least one of you is, I never know who leaves the comment! Haha! Thanks for watching!
Farmer Tyler Ranch I would never want you to have a cow lose a calf of course. I was thinking more along the lines of if you had a cow with enough motherly instinct and made enough milk to support two calves that she’d be willing to take another one on.
Is this buddy ???
a lot of twins wow ,hey mr mom
Haha! Yes there were a bunch
35 had her calf but they will fool you look as if they are ready then can be days before they will have the calf papaw always told us kids they can hold up birth until they can find a place to have their calf away from the herd and watching eyes.
Yeah I believe that too. I guess they wait until they are good and ready don’t they? Thanks Roger!
We had 3 sets of twins so far this year and 5 sets last year there painful
Wow sounds like you’ve got the same gene I do. How do you guys handle it?
@@farmertylerranch4399 were dairy so we have to feed all the calves anyway
Oh ok haha! Yep a little different! Thanks James
I AM 57 YEARS OLD.
FIRS TIME I SEE A COW HAVE 2....
Ah...also, in regard to the twins, what is your experience in regard to heifers being no good if twins, is that really a thing ? Makes no diff with sheep, well not mine anyway.
Yes the phenomenon is known as “Freemartin Twins”. Most common in cattle, when the twins are mixed sex (one male and one female) the female has a 90% chance of being sterile. Has to do with sharing blood supply between both twins and the hormones from the male twin messing up the females reproductive development. It can happen in sheep, but very rare! Thanks Greg
@@farmertylerranch4399 exactly! We had one OLD cow, kept hoping she'd leave us another heifer to replace her with. Her absolute last year(she was having a hard time, it *Had* to be her last year) she dropped a heifer, we celebrated, and 9 hours later, she dropped a bull calf. I cried.
We checked that heifer anyways, on the infinitesimal chance she'd implemanted *just* long enough before her brother that there'd been no hormonal exchange, but it was in vain. She *was* altered. Crying shame. Her dam was a helluva cow! If she wasn't so old, we might've tried for another year, knowing(now) why the last year had pulled her down so badly, with ai and sexed semen, but she WAS old, her front teeth were worn to beneath her gumline, so it wasn't fair to her to ask her to exist on pasture and handfeeding alfalfa cubes, and BOSS.(which is what she'd done the previous year, as *my* baby)
Hi Tyler. How are these tweens doing?
Everyone is doing just fine thanks!
Is that property yours too? Or you lease it?
Thanks for the video those green paddocks look nice. I’m from irrigated country in Australia we just started water our annual pastures and oats for our dairy and beef Cattle. What cattle do you run and are you using a Hereford bull?
First of all thank you for checking out the video! It’s very cool to talk with someone from a totally different part of the world! These cows are all beef cattle. The mothers are mostly Angus with some ancient Hereford genetics mixed in there. This years calves are out of two bulls, on black angus and one Hereford. Pretty easy to tell who daddy is when you see the calves! Thanks again for watching!
I love watching your videos. I love animals. When I was first married my x-husband worked on a dairy farm. I use to help milk on weekends. I've been there when they had to pull calves, bottle fed calves and drove the tractor to the field to bring the cow and her calf to the barn. Sorry I'm rambling. I love the videos, I think I've missed some, but will try to keep up now. Thanks for your time, Cecile from Hanover County VA.
Like watching water boil it happen unexpectedly
You nailed it!
I learnd that the frist time cows take little more time to give brith
Yes definitely true!
Off subject but I’m curious as to why you feed square bales vs. rounds bales. Around here square bales are almost non existent no matter how big or how small the farms are.
That’s funny it’s the exact opposite here. I think the reason is that there is a big market for small squares for horse owners. Most of them don’t have a tractor or any way to move rounds so they all want small squares. I sell about half my hay crop to horse owners so I have to do small squares. The other big market here is dairies. They want large squares or small squares depending on the size of the dairy.
Farmer Tyler Ranch understand that completely crazy how much different things are throughout the country. Not gonna lie after watching you feed squares makes me appreciate my round rolls lol. Great looking cattle and beautiful place. I really like your rented property. Enjoy the videos and keep them coming. So far I have came across you and Our Wyoming Life and really enjoyed both and have learned a few things as well.
Thank you Ryan. Yeah I’m wanting a round baler more all the time. They are just unicorns around here. The closest one I could find was like 700 miles away! The rented property is really a beautiful piece of land, I don’t think I’ve even really showed the wooded area much. I watch OWL too! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos I hope you stick around!
Farmer Tyler Ranch I’ll be sticking around. Hope you find you a baler soon that’s close.
Hey man, so i was wondering, how can you know when a cow is going to be a good mom? What do you check in their body when she is young?
Well if we’re talking about maternal instincts there is really no way to tell until they actually have a calf. Same with milk production and even then you really won’t see her true potential until about the third calf I’d say. As far as choosing replacement heifers, I look for wide framed balanced heifers. It’s easier when you have a group to compare. Pick the ones with wide hips that came out of good moms. Also it helps if you know their age, you’ll want to breed them at 14 months old, no sooner. Other than that, look at their disposition. You don’t want crazy cows! It’s hard to tell you everything in a paragraph but that should give you a good start. Hope that helps!
@@farmertylerranch4399 Thanks, yes it does!, im trying to improve my genetics at the ranch, im putting brahman so i can improve the rusticity and planning to keep the bull for 3 years, then change to a more european, like beefmaster, so that´s why i wanted to know with my new calf too choose the right ones
I think a Brahman cross would be a great choice assuming you’re in a hotter part of Mexico (frequently seeing 100*F and higher). Sounds like you’re on the right path!
just found you out and give you some support
nice cavs you got there. how may goats do you have ?
Thanks a lot Mark I appreciate it! At the moment I’ve got 6 does, one kid, and one buck. That is subject to change though at any moment!
That one ol' gal, looks pretty uncomfortable, hate to be the one that has to try to get her calf to get its first drink!
I’ve never had a set of twins in my career
Yeah cows really aren’t supposed to have twins. And thinking back, we never got them until maybe 10-15 years ago and even then it was rare. Must have got a bull that had that gene or something! Thanks Blake
your wife is smokin
Haha yeah I did good right? I’ll let her know!
Just kidding (the baby goat) but are you sure your herd isn't mixed with rabbits?....Well I tried.
Haha! Yeah starting to think an old jack rabbit slipped one in there somewhere down the line! Thanks Worm Hole! You always give me a laugh!
@@farmertylerranch4399 My pleasure. I find life goes by better with a smile.
Change your Bulls.
