Buster helps me load a bull, then we head north to gather more cattle and wean the calves! I hope you're not tired of watching some more cattle working take place.

Buster loves his work !
Me too; love watching how you work cattle. Old farm girl here.
Your the only farmer that I've ever seen giving your dog's water. Thank you
Is that supposed to be Complement?
Most dogs can find it on their own
😂😂😂 oh man I never laughed so hard
Anyone ,mentioned you look like Liam Neelson but that's not why i watch your video's ,love watching you work the cattle
Great video on working cattle. Glad to see no one got hurt. I used a tractor with a bucket on the front to scoop a ramp to back up to and load cattle.
Where ever we load, the tractor is used to scrape down the part where the trailer tires are to ease loading. Makes a difference.
Full working day for all. Well done. Thank you for sharing. 🐂🐂😷👍
Buster's cracking skulls and taking names. 🙌
Love how you separate the cows and Buster is the Star of the Show...he gets me so tickled I have to laugh at him ...get em Buster...
Sure wish you had more videos to watch ...I've watched all yours and wish they were more... keep up the great work you do...it's very exciting to see all that action and Buster too...ty...
That little tiny calf is so cute! 😀
I agree
Till he/she grows up and kicks the shit out of you! 🤣🤣 Been there more than once!
Whoooeee! Look at them high headed tiger stripes!!! Good momma cows, but not people friendly 🤣🤣🤣 it is rare to see cattlemen that don’t hoot and holler,,, y’all are slow and gentle, good to see it! Anyhow, greetings from San Angelo!
My dad farmed with his brother and father. It was amazing to watch them work together. Even sorting cattle, hogs, or anything else. They worked like a well oiled machine. The didn't use shocker stuff. I rapped the animals up that much more. When sorting or loading for sale. They never fought, though they did disagree. They did it without attitudes, pride. The agreed to disagree agreeably. Even at home, my folks did not fight or argue. I raised my son with same principles. The funniest thing about watching my dad and uncle and grandpa, when working with a heifer with her first calf. They bought open heifers, that proved later to be pregnant. And bred by a big bull. Big bulls make big calves. That was a rough spring. They had many of the heifers had to be pulled and vet care. But here's my dad and uncle, many men...pulling a calf on a smallish heifer. Ben is rubbing her back, baby talking her, that's OK baby, your OK, it'll be over soon. Come baby, hang in there. It was funny I pondered if later did the remember talking down a heifer? They took good care of their livestock. Just not like manly men like they were. They were were pretty angry that the seller lied about them being open. And to be so irresponsible for allowing a big bull in the same pasture. I'm almost 61. Daddy is 89. I still call him Daddy. Uncle Ben is funny. I treasure them. And Daddy calls me sweet-heart. Mama passed away Sept 2019. He misses her. And we try to fill his days. To serve him like we are. He sacrificed a lot. Now it's time to put him first. They had a lots of respect in the community. And their livestock were well sought after at sale.
I really enjoy watching you guys work, it's a trade a lot of people don't understand, also like the fact a large ranch being worked..... family involved
You've got some nice looking brindle cows. Well taken care of young man
TY for your vlogs, fascinating stuff of a way of life I knew nothing of. I think Buster is an awesome dog.
I enjoyed watching you separate & load on dry ground and not your having to be bundled up in forty layers of winter clothes to work in! We are doing that work up here in deep snow, sloshy mud and COLD. Just had a freak blizzard and had 28" of snow, high winds made 4-5 ft drifts and we were out for hours in 20 below zero wind chills trying to get the herd moved down lower & closer so we could heavy feed & get them through this storm. What a nightmare! Made me happy to see you herd being able to get moved and all but WARM doing so! Hope the rest of the work goes smoothly for you too!
Wow that sounds terrible! Makes our conditions look like a breeze! Thank you.
@@TheFarmGuy Yeah, been rough on all the ranchers up here for sure. No one was ready for that level of storm yet so thankfully, we didnt loose any cows or calves. Hope the final push on your ranch goes well and I enjoy seeing the videos. Thanks for those!
me thinks Buster has had an experience or two with the Brahman. In observation, Buster was trying to stay clear of those back feet but still do his job. Then when you were moving the cows with calves, Buster was a bit more relaxed and not so attentive like he was with the bull. And did you folks see that calf kick? It was a calf about that size or a bit taller that kicked at my uncle Ben, hit him in the knuckles on his hand, and broke some bones in his hand. An itty bitty calf. I really do like watchin' your videos. I loved the farm life. It never dawned on me way back when that I didn't just go into farming all by my lonesome instead of thinkin' about marrying a farmer.
You do a fantastic job of working with stock! Gentle but firm with the ones that need it!
Appreciate it, that’s what dads always said since I was little. Handle them as easy as possible!
I have watched alot of farming videos and I know it's not easy but if you could explain why you move the cows, what you spray them for and how often it really helps the viewers understand how damn hard farmers work!!!! ❤️🐮 from Houston
My dad and uncle had specific pastures and even fields they put their stock cattle into. By the end of March, cow's were bred in the fall to calf where weather is generally nicer. After harvest, they will move their stock cows into fields to feed on corn that has fallen to the ground. The cows will also be given big round bales of hay. By December or January, depending on the weather, will be moved into a fallow field with timber that will give them cover from snowy weather and fresh water all year round. Spring, about March they move the stock cows closer to the barns and long sheds so cows can deliver with access to shelters. By late spring calving is done, and the move them to the east pasture. Lots and lots of grass, fresh water, and big bales of hay. This helps clean up the corn fields of corn on the ground. So crop rotation reduces volunteer corn from coming up in soybeans or hay. Corn depletes the soil of nitrogen. Cows make lots of patties. That's natural and free fertilizer and helps replenish nitrogen. But it takes a few years to replenish. Of course the feed lot from fat calves (calves about 200 to 400lbs) they feed silage in a feed lot. The calves get fat and grow up to about 1500 lbs then sell them. The stock cows will spend all summer long in the east pasture with their babies until about August. Then they put the bulls out with the cows to breed again for next springs crop of calves. Late fall the calves from these cows are put with the fat calves to fill out before being sold late fall. That's why we move cattle around. Cows love to eat and they help clean up fields. And then to fertilize the fields at the same time. No chemicals it's all natural. When we were younger, we'd get on our ponies and help block driveways and dields we didn't want them to go. Uncle Ben drove the pickup that had a big round bales leading the cows. And Daddy drove the mule or four wheeler to pickup calves that got too tired. Fond memories. No dogs. We had a dog, but he wasn't a cattle dog. Grandpa had Cyndy, a border collie who was ancient. Just girls on ponies. Lol
They move them to different pastures becaus they need more gass
There is always one crazy one. Great looking cattle. I need a buster to help me.
love watching cows thanks for sharing
You read these cattle so well. That keeps you and your coworkers safe. Be well. Thank you.🐂🐂🐂
Your head is pretty relaxed compared to some I've worked with
Yep i wish feedin cattle was that fast, damn it takes forever for me to feed my sheep!😆
Good dog. You all work so hard on farms and ranches. God bless you all.
Dad watching you work 😎😅 #bossman
Nothing better then a good ol tiger stripped cow
I agree!
Thanks
The joys of working with cattle eh! I thought you were in trouble with the big black beast start of video tbh.
Great video - one of your best!
As always I enjoyed it Coalton
Your dogs worts really well 😁😁
I'm commenting here with this video 2 years since being posted. I wonder if Buster is performing as is expected.
I hear ya on having trouble loading calves when the back of the trailer is to high. It sucks to unload as well, even with cows. We deliberately try to find a low spot to put the tires in so the back isn't so high off the ground. Can't always get what you want, you just have to do the best you can.
Finally figured out who you remind me of. The bad ass good guy in the movie Taken. Liam I think his name is. Your wife and daughters are in good hands!
Wow! I’ll take it lol. Thanks!
Kiss ass
@@TheFarmGuy Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Maybe put a metal ramp at the end of t he truck maybe make it slide out from under the trailer I have seen that done
Buster was saying you screwing things up 😂😂
Buster needs my dogs as friends 🤣.
The cattle are so cute
I've been watching you a long time I'm in Tennessee to I didn't even know where you were from I'll be damned
Well, when you’re hungry, you’re hungry!
hi from Kazakhstan. nice job dude. little advice take a proper wood stick and not be afraid to punch bull properly. it's for you to dominate and be a little inhuman or it's for you to get kicked away or walked over by bull. I presume you'd choose first option. also, don't hesitate. any animal feels the fear.
Hi watching this from Ontario. We have sheep and the rams can be mean so a bull could do some damage
The working dog is awesome. Good boy!!! Get him buster!!! Did you have to train him to do that or is a lot of it his nature?
Thanks! It’s definitely in his nature but more of a baying dog. He’s had no training other than just being out there with us.
@@TheFarmGuy Good boy Buster!!!
@@TheFarmGuy Nothing better to me than seeing a dog doing his job. Thanks for responding.
Is Buster a cur? No matter what he is he sure is handsome
@@sabrenapadgett5162 yes he is and thanks!
Almost thanking you some panels to close off halfway
Y’all need a bulldozer to push the cows in the pin. 🤣🤣
Cut them cattle! Good job buddy!
Need you one of them Australian CAttle/Sheep dogs.
This is a good show of pressure and release. Cows listen and do what he wants? No pressure. Cows don't listen and doesn't do what he wants? Pressure, pressure, pressure until they do
I need rain in hill country. Feeding cows is breaking the bank!
I love Buster 💘
Colton, how the weather up in your area? Hope all is well with you and in good health. I need the P. O. Box? As always good editing and awesome video. "God Bless" 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I watching maybe fourth video, and I'm wondering wtf and why is he spraying cows for? And with what?
First time seeing your video and as a "City Slicker" I have two questions . The first - What is a hot stick ? , and the second - What was that purple stuff you put on the cattle's back ?
Did I miss the explanation on what was going on during the cow separation??
Sorry that I didn’t explain. We’re splitting the cows from the calves so we can deworm the cows and kick them back out to the pasture and then bring the big calves back to our home place to wean them and they will later be turned out on wheat pasture.
Idk why it's fun watching you cut cattle but it is. Why are the cream colored ones not so smart,lol?
Satusstockdogs you need a couple border collies
What kinda dogs yall use Buster kinda looks like a Thomas Black Mouth Cur
He is a black mouth. I believe he’s a foundation bmc.
What’s on caker spout to have it raise back up? Bungee strap?....and what’s the brand of pour on that’s colored like that, great videos!
On the Kubota it’s just a loop that’s tied off with rope and I just raise it with my hand. The feed truck has a hydraulic spout. The pour on wormer is Cydectin. Thank you!
Y’all got it going on for sure! I’m guessing y’all condition the calf’s and send them straight to the feed lots? Or will you sell to other farmers as replacements or a little of both?
We will hold back some of the good heifers but yes, they’ll all go out on wheat this winter and then we’ll figure out where we’re gonna go with them.
@@TheFarmGuy how’s the wheat coming on? Any luck with getting rain on it??
@@circlegfarms4078 got 1.5 inches the past 2 days. It’s already showing it too!
My dream job to work on a family farm
What kind of cattle are you running out there? In one video it seems like angus, another video Hereford and the other Braford
People like straight lines, cattle move naturally in circular motions, Fences in natural circular channels will make movements easier...unless you want to work more? Just observe how the cows mill around in a pen & you'll get the idea.
It’s always the little white calves that give the most trouble 😂
at first i thought your were dustin poirier but nice vid
Buster is messing it up. Lol turn juice up on the hot shot. He hardly even feels that stick
Cows are so dumb 😂 circles 15:17 ♥️ you’re very handsome 😊
They’re always dumb when you went them to be smart and smart when you want them to be dumb 🤷♂️ lol
He’s just not handsome he’s also cute, and a hard worker. He’s everything I want in a man. Quick question did you see a ring on that finger?
What state and what part of the state are you located good looking cattle and equipment it brings back memories, God Bless
Thank you. Located in North Texas.
@@TheFarmGuy I live in Cooke county now farmed in Comanche and Brown county’s Texas . To old now.. God bless
@@gtoal3891 right next door in Grayson!
I can’t figure out how you are sorting the cattle. It looks like separating calves from cows, but calves get mixed in.
What is that purple stuff you sprayed on them
May I ask why the calves are being separated from the adults? I’m not hating, genuinely curious. 😅
To deworm the cows. 👍
@@musicalpriss1364 ohh gotcha
@@Phaasma and to wean the calves from their moms. They are too old to stay with them.
@@TheFarmGuy Alright, thank you!
What kind of dog is Buster?? My neighbor has a dog that looks just like Buster and she came and sat with my two new baby calves every night for weeks when they were born!
Buster is a black mouth cur! Yes buster has those tendencies as well. It’s funny how they do that
Where do get your sorting flags at ?
How many cow/calf pairs you run
What breed of dog is Buster? Great video!!
Black mouth cur. Thank you!
How much land do you own and how much do you lease?
I subbed. Interested to see if your dog had a bad day or is just the wrong dog.
Thanks. He has lots of bad days...
That purple spray is dewormer? One peace of advice y’all need to get a shoot to load cattle.
This may seem like a crazy question, but are some of your cows American Breed/crosses? I worked with the foundation breed for 8 years.
Yes, lots of Brangus and Charolais crosses.
I am now at your channel
Love the video, probably because i don't have to do it everyday. Bet it gets tiring. Where are you folks? How much property are you on & with how many cows? Thw wheat needs water but i saw a lake in the video are they far apart?
Thank you. We have cows on a few places all in north Texas. The wheat and the water in this video are about 30 miles apart.
How many cows do y’all run?
Around 500 or so.
How many cows do you have
What are the brindle cows you have ?
They are Brafords. Out of a Brahma bull and a Hereford cow.
What's the purple stuff
Hello The Farm Guy I think you need to get herding dog like border collie for moving the cows Adam from Vermont U.S
I don’t disagree. A border collie would be handy.
@@TheFarmGuy or you can get a Golden retriever to Heard your cattle
Whats the name of that worming your using ?
Cydectin
Is it alot of work
what for is this "purple rain" some cattles get on their back at 12:10?
The purple rain is a dewormer!
@@TheFarmGuy thanks for the infrmation. so that is "all" it takes to deworm em? (or is it "only" against the worms in their fur?)
@@Jojo.Rose_CountryGirl13 no it’s for internal worms. Yes that’s all it takes. There is also oral dewormer and injectable.
What was purple that you sprayed on 4 of them?
Cydectin dewormer
Augem do brasil
what kind of dog is buster
He’s a black mouth cur.
@@TheFarmGuy I like your dog he is a good Heard dog you should keep him to Heard your cattle
Any fish in that pond
Not that one but some good ones on that same place.
How big of a ranch do y’all have
About medium sized I guess. Just depends on where you come from.
What part of Tennessee are y'all in
Man we're not in TN, we're in TX lol
@@TheFarmGuy I know I saw your thing on Instagram sorry
@@claytonkeys7555 it’s all good man
how many types of cows do you have and how many cows do you have????
Mainly 5 different breeds!
@@TheFarmGuy wow
What kind of cattle do you guys have
Braford, brangus, Brahma, Hereford, and black baldies mainly
You live in Texas?
Yes, north Texas.
Look like East Kansas
North Texas!
The farm guy I like to watch your channel and I work on a dairy cow farm and they have 5 milk cows and I have 5 milk cows and I have trouble loading the five milk cows in the trailer and how do I make the 5 milk go In the trailer
Thank you. Do they turn around when they get close to the trailer? Make sure to have a gate behind them where they can’t run up and down and give them time.
@@TheFarmGuy Yes they do turn around when they get close to the trailer and we have a gate that we use for the cattle to go in the trailer and we try to give them time to go in the trailer and they keep turning around when they get close to the trailer and my boss told me to use a flag to get them in the trailer and to use a hotshot to them to get them in the trailer too and What should I use to get them on the trailer
@@breannaciborowski3429 definitely get after them with a flag. If they are still really stubborn and won’t go then a hot shot would be the way to go. Focus on getting the first one to go and the rest should follow
@@TheFarmGuy thank you and what if they still don’t go in the trailer when I go after them with a flag and the hot shot
hellow bro i am intrested to work with you, i am from bangaldesh... thank you...
Buster needs one of them training collars
