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.

You sir are living the good life. Although challenging, farming and ranch in is what feeds the world. And to be raising a family in the great state of South Dakota is an added blessing. Be well.

@kelvinstecklein1580 Год назад

We took a old iron scoops shovel and cut some 1 to 1/12 slits in it to get the ice out of the tank work good best is a old style beet fork if you can find one of them

@sgrvtl7183 Год назад

I am not familiar with ranching and severe winter conditions, but I don't see how the cows survive in the deep snow and blizzard conditions. Being a Mom, my heart 'feels' for them.

@marciabyram6003 Год назад

Thank you for all you farmers and ranchers do. I know my mules appreciate it.

@harveypenner2386 Год назад

Thanks for the awesome poem! What a great way to start the video! Keep them coming!

Adler Farms posted your video. Wow that is a lot of snow. I’m originally a Sunny California girl but living in Texas. Lived through the crazy Snowvid we got. Pies burst, no heat in our senior apt. Texas wouldn’t know what to do with all that snow. You have a beautiful wife and baby. Many blessings and prayers for a calm winter

@nonsi3819 Год назад

Beautiful video. I always say that when it should be bad weather, bad weather is good weather. The cold, snow and rain are as important as the sun, although sometimes they become more difficult to bear. What warms up the most during the day is thinking about getting home and seeing your loved ones. It is a pleasure to see Silas grow so healthy. I pray for you from Spain.

@donald7517 Год назад

Poor cows are hungry and thirsty and of course cold. My stepfather was a Rancher with a small herd of about 150 head of cattle and said most can take the weather but the little ones can freeze to death.

@maxcorder2211 Год назад

When your ship comes in, the first thing you will probably do is build a garage on the new house, and maybe a porch on the back. But I'm pretty sure your grandpa and grandma survived without it. Hang in there, the cows appreciate you.

If I could live on a ranch like yours, I'd help where needed if I am capable. Love SD and was born and raised in Michigan. Grew up on a small farm.

Please make a shed for animals so they can be safe in winter at night time

@joycenesselhauf1220 Год назад

We’re looking at -22 (no wind) in a couple of days here in Ronan, MT. Not looking forward to that. Ready for spring already and it’s a ways off. Snow hit here the day after Halloween and hasn’t left. Keeping outside critters looked after can be challenging, but it’s important they’re taken care of, as you know. Watching the weather other folks like yourself are dealing with makes me glad it’s not worse here.

@deanaltman6841 Год назад

It’s been decades but I still vividly remember days exactly like that when I was young not all that far away from your ranch. I now live over 1,000 miles south specifically for this reason.

Me 2 beautiful poems

@lisas3268 Год назад

That poem is so beautiful! We are getting mix of rain, ice and snow in upstate NY right now.

@johnlookabill8495 Год назад

Hey Carson. I love to see the snow but you can keep it up there. I definitely feel for you doing chores in that. Especially with the wind blowing. Your little family is so adorable. God bless you all. Stay safe and as warm and dry as possible. Your brother in Christ.

This really makes you appreciate a Rancher. Being in Florida it's hard to fathom.

@kenparham5747 Год назад

Man my wife would be in heaven with all that snow. They have some in our forecast for next week, but we will see. Silas is all bright eyed and bushy tailed today! God bless and stay warm!

@deborahlewis5964 Год назад

I’ve been thinking of you all when I saw the forecast for the Dakotas….. First of all I love your poetic introduction and the overhead shots of the snow and cows…. Winter is always the worst for folks and livestock….you all do such a great job taking care of your cows..I remember tying a rope from one barn to other…frozen waters are super bed in the winter…that’s what I always hated about winter…. The weather channel always mentions no lives were lost…that’s human lives not livestock….I’m praying that you loose no cows…Lots of ranchers in Wyoming think…oh well we have insurance but that’s not howI think… Take care..keep warm and safe…Thank you for a great video!!!!

@badgerpa9 Год назад

Sweet poem, that Fabio is a cute little guy. Your son is growing fast. You have a beautiful family.. The work never ends even in bad weather. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and stay safe and healthy.

@kopenhagenkid Год назад

@valleyviewchurch7067 Год назад

The poem was spot on as a fellow rancher in East Tennessee the livestock has to be cared for regardless of the weather. The forecast for next week is single digits which is cold for us. The little is growing wont be to long before he will want to go with his dad. Be safe.

@ecpantel Год назад

I have been thinking about you all, even kept checking the weather for your area to see how things were going. Soon enough your son will be excited to go out an play in the snow, I'm sure. Stay safe!

@marydanen5220 Год назад

Such a beautiful baby boy. Tare care and stay safe and warm❤

@benburns5995 Год назад

Hi Carson, great way to start the video with the drone footage and the poem. Glad that Silas was safely home before the Blizzard hit. Hopefully you can build a garage with the new house, so you can keep your vehicles sheltered from the cold and snow. Being a Rancher is tough work but especially having to feed when it is really cold and snowy.

@reubenmiller30 Год назад

I’ve been waiting for this update! Ranching, gotta love it to get through the trough days. Hats off to you guys. My brother in Moorcroft WY was sayin how bad the winds were. Looks pretty via the internet lol

@ihcman9130 Год назад

17 inches here in Northern ND. Wind really blew it into the yard and every gate. Took quite a while to dig out. The -25 weather coming up this next week is really going to suck for sure.

@nesandhiller5323 Год назад

You got dumped on pretty good up there. Darn!! Hard to be too frustrated when the moisture is so needed and there are no calves coming yet. Not sure either how much we got here. We're east of the worst. Chadron got a fair amount it sounds like. Silas & Demaris are doing well. Nice go come home to your favorite people.

@oleggorky906 Год назад

I’ve just been watching some ground blizzards on the plains; they are the most impressive. It may be sunny up above with no precipitation having fallen locally. But snow that might have fallen 50 miles away on the plains can suddenly be blown into a prairie town, with 30 foot drifts against buildings, cutting a town off from the outside world ... never underestimate the awesome power of the natural world!

@robertdouglas4130 Год назад

You are a great poet, love the poems and love your love for your family!

@terrimoore5181 Год назад

Never seen that much snow. It's beautiful but you stay safe out there. Glad you were able to get the cows to feed. That baby boy is beautiful and so alert.

@douglandry2422 Год назад

Put water in a gallon jug and put about 1/2 box of salt in jugs, and than put them in your water trough. You might need 3 or 4 per trough depending on how big they are . It will help from keeping the water from freezing so hard. I filled mine about 3/4 full. Let me know if you have success.

I think you need a garage😅 that's the storm that went through Utah we got a 5-6 inches in our valley but mountains got 3-6 ft. of new snow stay safe and warm.

Hallo from the Netherlands kows out in the winter and no shelter with the snow and 20 degrees below zero and more to come, here with us you don"t see a cow outside only a few Schottish Highlands but they can really take it, take care man and stay healthy !!!🥶🥶

@ellisritz7654 Год назад

Your words that rhyme, are soothing and kind, a great way to begin a video. Winter, you'll have much to share and write about as it seems your winter will be wet and cold. Stay safe and warm, bless you and your family.

@susumost2495 Год назад

Teach one heifer to take a cube from your hand, soon the rest will be curious and follow. You don’t waste so much of the cubes that way. In the snow, I mean.

@destryburnett5842 Год назад

Sure makes a person appreciate a warm house and beautiful family. Wind and snow makes for a much longer day. Enjoyed the video. How many bales do you feed on an average winter day

@GoldenLady9779 Год назад

Wow, beautiful video. I've been wondering how you guys are and how much snow you would get. Such beautiful country all white with snow. So nice you got to return home to a snug home with your two sweethearts. Life is good! Silas is a cutie. 🥰

@fretabeall1222 Год назад

What a great video! Enjoy your family!! Thanks for sharing!!!

@carmenantolich3113 Год назад

What a sad, it is a difficult time. I thought that they already have cover for the cows, since they represent their earnings, protecting them should be something good for the poor animals and for the ranchers.

Love your poems!! You should write a book & put them on here so we can buy one. My husband loves them too. I know you need the moisture but I hope it doesn't stay so cold. It is starting to get colder here (northern Indiana). Demaris & Silas looked happy to see you. What a sweet little family. Silas is adorable! Keep up the great job you are doing on your videos. We love them!!
