Our ranch is located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where my family settled and started ranching in 1883.
I work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, and my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town. 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.

Well , I have to tell you that you are a lucky guy Carson. The scenery is fantastic. I have travelled to a lot of countries and I have never seen more scenery beautiful than this. Remember, every day when you look outside how lucky you are.

@kenj7222 Год назад

So nice to see Grandpa holding the new baby!

@mervjb809 Год назад

Everything about this video was beautiful, the scenery, the cattle, the horses, the people, and even the weather!! Thank you

@lynnalohaaloha9439 Год назад

Nothing better than seeing a new baby on the cattle drive. Your dad holding the baby was adorable. Beautiful country. I'm jealous. We were 98° yesterday so seeing you guys bundle up was wild. You are doing great with the drone. Awesome video Carson.

@csrlivestock7080 Год назад

Carson another great video, there is something magic watching cattle moving through that beautiful countryside. Your Dad is a quite tough bloke but give him grandkids to hold and he melts. What a great family event, a lot of riding to get the cattle together. Trump surely likes a few solids in his water. Thanks again from Down Under.

Nice looking cows and calves

@fordenginebuildersv8power184 Год назад

What a fantastic video on a Sunday Morning! Love that chuck wagon on wheels! Mike

@nmelkhunter1 Год назад

Love to listen to those cows making sure their babies are keeping up. There’s an old saying that I think applies to moving cattle as much as it does anything else. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

@denisedenomme361 Год назад

Amazing scenery and video. Love to see you guys on horseback.Grandpa and Grandma having fun holding the grandkids.👍❤️🇨🇦

@gerardjohnson2106 Год назад

That second stream was pretty and better for the horses to drink. Thank for another good video Carson.

@terrimoore5181 Год назад

Congratulations to the new parents! I notice Grandpa and Grandma were wonderful baby sitters. Loved the cattle drive the yellow trees were beautiful.

Nothing but respect! Y'all are living the dream!!

@badgerpa9 Год назад

Carson you can tell your Father has held a few kids and loves his grandkids. Beautiful scenery and nice looking group of cattle. Trump seems like a hard working horse. Glad Big D is well. Hope Damaris is doing well and you all stay safe and healthy.

Tried your wife's roast recipe awsome

@pettyfogger2305 Год назад

Congrats on another great episode, Carson. Not only is your camera work and composition getting to be professional, your editing is wonderful-I really admire the genuine flavor and essence you portray. I loved to see your dad as the tender grandpa while in his natural setting and surrounded by friends and family; I'm sure many guys would have been talking with your helpers instead of cuddling babies and toddlers. You are a lucky guy.

@davidgregg2778 Год назад

I couldn't agree more ! What a great video . Carson , l hope you know how blessed you are to live the life you have . Thanks so much for sharing it .

Great video Carson

@betsykendrick8179 8 месяцев назад

So happy I found your channel! I'm so impressed with this whole drive. Everyone stayed so calm and eased those mamas and babies right along. Would give anything to be part of a family and friends network like yours. Really special! The comment you made about streets of gold when you went through the aspens was profound to me. The whole landscape is heavenly. Thank you for taking us along!

@georgedavidson1221 Год назад

These video show a whole view of Farming / ranching that most people think has been lost Excellent

@marcdebow4055 Год назад

Grew up in Deadwood, graduated from there, spent a lot of time in Spearfish Canyon hunting, met and married my wife in Lead/Deadwood. One of our family friends, with whom we hunted, lived in Hanna and were named Sleep (Bill and Millie). Many great memories.

@sleepranch Год назад

Very cool! Bill and Millie would have been our relatives!

@marcdebow4055 Год назад

@@sleepranch Chatted with my brother Matthew, now also retired, who is currently one of the county commissioners in Harding County. He says he has chatted with you and was allowed to hunt elk on your property with one of his high school buddies. Small world.

@nesandhiller5323 Год назад

Great video Carson! Sure takes me back but we don't have the scenery your drive does. Just open Sandhills with few roads. About the same # of miles and like you, a family affair. Cattle look like they summered well and you should have some nice weaning weights.

@rhondalynn953 Год назад

Thank you for sharing some of your life with us it is beautiful where y’all live. Stay Safe and God Bless

@southtexashay777 Год назад

Good morning, every time I see you rounding up cattle it reminds me of my younger days except moving cattle in the Texas Brush Country is not as fun!!! I sure am glad the people in your area slow down on the roads!!! Have a great day friend and Blessings to you and the family.

@patriciawarner1274 Год назад

Great video. Years ago on another of my cross country drives, in Wyoming on route 28, I think. A lonely road until we came behind about 300 head of cattle. The cowboys told me keep moving at about 5mph and I’d be fine, which I was but one pooped on my car!

@larrycriqui7883 Год назад

Now this is what I call " God's Country" how beautiful.

@yeahman1756 Год назад

@yvonneadams5377 Год назад

Beautiful country, perfect place for a lunch break with friends and family. Making memories for the little ones. Next year Carson you'll have a little there

@jacksak Год назад

It's great to see the family side of the drive. Too many people think raising cattle is an industrial/corporate operation from start to finish and don't realize the families behind it. It makes me wonder what the true percentage is for all cattle started on family ranches without including feedlot and other down the line businesses.

@scottraven1721 Год назад

Another excellent production. Always interesting, and looking forward to the next one. Thank you 🙂🌼🍻

@jasonstone6499 Год назад

You all are living a dream!! Tons of hard work but a real American dream!! Thank you!

Wow!!!!! That drone shots is absolutely gorgeous!!!! What a beautiful day …cold but a great day to move a incredible bunch of cows!!! Walking the walk…..15 miles…now that’s a long walk….They’ll be hungry when they get their final destination!!!! Great video….Thanks Carson….have a fantastic day!!!

What a beautiful place to live and ranch, and raise a family.

@marlinyohn8982 Год назад

What a great time of the year to spend moving cattle with family and friends. Thanks for taking us along on your cattle drive and meeting the little ones. I almost felt like I was there. That part of God’s country sure is beautiful.

Incredible! Thanks for taking us along… I keep saying someday… but really someday I’m coming to help! Just the best work environment ever 😉

@46rambo49 Год назад

good to see the support, we have to have two flaggers and on a paved roadway the sheriff has to show up and use flashing lights, we run them down the mountain from Summer graze about 53 miles, 10 of it is on pavement, remember the current administration IS NOT Agricultures friend, many around us are going under

@donevens4357 Год назад

You have such a neat family.

@sharonbogard7720 Год назад

@reubenmiller30 Год назад

That looked like fun. I’d use my vacation days to come help with that rather then for the Buffalo roundup!

@rspranchinmontana Год назад

What a wonderful video!! We are like you in that we dont have any snow yet either. That part has been super nice! I sure hope you guys didnt have any nasty motorists to deal with on the main road. We get ridiculous neighbors that throw hissy fits if they have to wait on our private dirt road for even a few minutes during cattle drives. I just dont understand that kind of mindset. If you cant appreciate a cattle drive in progress and feel like you are part of it all? There must be something wrong with you. LOL!

@dalewadsworth5703 Год назад

Don’t ya just love it when the cattle spot you they all start bawling at you. I always loved that greeting. Carson, how many head did you trail? So love to see the scenery up there in the high country. Soon the snow comes . Was a very cool weekend here In Parker County TX( Horse country) also. Not as cool as there. Soon hopefully I will have a scooter from VA so I can get around easier on our place Hoping to also get up to the 4-6’s Ranch . You will be holding your little one soon. It is a great feeling. Y’all have a blessed week

@sleepranch Год назад

Thanks Dale! That sounds like fun! And we had 169 in the group
