Herding Cattle To Greener Pastures! The 2024 Spring Cattle Drive! 

Brown Swiss is my favorite cow when it comes to dairy cows..,

The way dairy farming ,should be.Thankyou from Michigan

The bells add a unique twist to the herd of grazing cattle!!! At least it'll be easier to locate them during pasture checks. Looks like some lush pasture to keep them contented. Based on past experience, moving a herd of cattle can have it's own challenges...not exactly a one person job unless there are some tame animals that are used to your calls.

Up until the mid 70's, we would drive the bred hiefers 2 miles on driveways and state road to the dairy barn from pasture. Twice each year. Traffic became a problem, so we started hauling them . Trailers replaced trucks, and it was way easier.

It's the bell season in full swing. Literally.

When I was a kid every fall we would help my uncle on a cattle drive five miles to his own place boy that was so fun to do

It’s always fun watching cattle get turned loose on new pasture. No need to go to the gym to work legs that’s for sure. Thanks for taking us along.

Running up and down hills is work. You must all be in great condition. Lucky cows, to be able to roam in such a green place. Thanks for the video. We have an old cow bell that was my dads. Use it for anyone who is sick. They don't have to yell to get your attention.

Beautiful countryside, looks great, the cows certainly enjoy being out in the pasture. Regards from Down Under.

When I was growing up, all around us were small dairy farms; and beef farms for that matter. We were a small beef operation. I used to hire out in the summer helping on the dairy farms with milking, cleaning up after milking, and moving cows. ( Money used for school clothes ect). Seeing you move your cows brought back memories of certain ornery cows that loved to galavant. Always the same ones. I thought it might make a good vid(s) to introduce us to some of your cows and they're particular personality. Things like some cows would let you walk up to them in the field, throw a bucket under them and milk them by hand; while others, even in the stantion, you had to watch they might try to kick you. Some cows loved the dogs and would lick them while others would never get near them. There were certain cows that just had to be first in everything, and then there was that cow you wished all the cows could be like. I'm sure you have some good stories about some of your cows.

There's always some that want to go in a different direction. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

Sure has been a good sping here in Dunn Co. Hope the growing season is good for all farmers. Thanks 😊.

That sound would drive me nuts!

That is,awesome with them bells always no where the cows are great videos 😊

The sound of the bells is awsome, i need to send this to family who are dairy farmers also

The views on your farm are amazing. Hopefully you can get some hay made and show some awesome drone shots.

I love the sound of the Bells Make me feel real happy Watching them cows go up in the hills Enjoy Jubilee get you out of another one my friend they say have a good day

I was anxious to hear a yodel! Maybe next herding group?? Fun content.

My favorite, the cows…. 1) with summertime will we see a video from Owen at all, the one he did of the chickens and ducks were awesome. 2) did you name the calve that Dr. Mason delivered? I vote for Maisey 🐄 As always very entertaining ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love hearing the bells! My dad grew up on small dairy farm & they had bells on their herd.

My nephew was the one who got me hooked on this channel - I was really impressed your swiss descendants 😃

The cattle call and the bells are so nice

Love the bells and traditions

When I milked cows I also put bells on my cows I would just listen for a bell and knew where the cows were at Lol

I really like hearing the bells, it’s surprising that a few farmers still use the bells

Another good one!!

Do your cattle have shorter legs on one side as we do in Tennessee? Your hills look just like ours. I believe evolution is real!! Ha! Ha! I enjoy your videos and look forward to each and every one.

That was awesome! Loved it!!!

looks like quite a difference in elevation on your farm

The bells would drive me nuts!!!

Most definitely I want one

I don’t think we had cow bells on our dairy cows. German heritage maybe beer stein instead?

Our grandfather used them would wake to the bell sound.

😊

Looks like today neither man nor beast needed a trip to the "gym".

When we move our cows and calves, we stretch a reel of twine between us and walk them wherever we want them. I will never try to move cows any distance without twine.

Dairy cows don't seem to herd as easily as beef cows. They all have a mind of their own. We would chase our young stock about 5 miles on the road to our other farm, the get wild.

You don't have a cow that needs to be checked for tinnitus🤣😂🤣

I had a girl friend that her mothers name was besse and she alway conplained that her mother named her after a cow and mom put a bell around her neck to by giving her a middle name of bell, Besse Bell

I admire you guys and your farm, but I don't like cow bells. They are to loud for the cows. Cows hear way better than us.

Not a fan of the bell noise it would drive me bonkers

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO Aaron

My grandfather had bells on his milking cows. at exactly 5 PM you would hear the bells coming closer to the back fence to get let in for milking. Love the sound.

Love the sounds of the bells, as the herd grazes.

Nothing better than putting cows out on pasture! Thanks for taking us along.

That’s a cool sound with the bells. Nice looking cattle

A good herding breed dog might earn his feed on a day like that ! So beautiful up in the pasture - driftless region can't be topped !

Love cow bells! nothing more calming that sitting on the porch at the end of the day, watching the sun set, and hear the cowbells, Like music! Cows are smart, they conspire against us! Hey, we're going out to pasture, so let's make it fun, we'll split up in 6 groups because there is only 4 of them!

thank you

I'm not a farmer and I see the reasoning behind using bells, but man imagine walk around with a bell around your neck. I don't know!!!!

I was going to ask why bell your cattle? , but I like your father’s explanation; tradition and personal property and I like the different sounding bells for each type of cows(generic term). Enjoy watching and learning about small north mid-west dairy farming

you all have an incredibly pretty farm! How the heck do you keep cows moving walking through a beautiful field of alfalfa? Well done!

That was a cool video thank you

Those are some lucky dairy cows! Personally, the bells would annoy me, but you guys do you. I like watching the cows out in the fields in the quiet.
