Hotwire and Hogs 

Those barn owls are absolutely beautiful. They are welcome in any of my barns.... they will help take care of unwanted rodents. Have a great day Farmer Tyler

In my next life, if there is one, I want to be a dog at Farmer Tyler Ranch :)

I am so happy that you have barn owls, they will take care of your rodents! the pigs look happy, they will take care of that garden! Happy New Year to you and your family!

Your cattle sure like that triticale hay. It looks so stemy and dry, but I guess not. Happy New Year FTR

I am glad to see a new video of farmer Tyler! Great content! And makes my day a bit more pleasant! Thank you! Happy new year!

I’ll bet your daughter would like to have one of those kittens! 🥰

Looks like all the animals are happy! Always Love watching and listening to you Tyler! God Bless and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Like the fence line feeders. It’s so muddy here in Pennsylvania. The ground never froze.Fence line feeders is the way to go in this mud!

Everything is dirty and grungy on the ranch, including Farmer Tyler. 😜😁😂

Yep those barns owls are a great help. Nice video today too.. ☺️👍

Belli is growing into her ears!

Thanks for the video, I usually learn something and always enjoy watching!

Hopefully the cats do their job… the barn owls are so cool!

The carbon black in the rubber will conduct high frequency electricity(which is what I think those fence chargers supply)....

Greetings from sunny South Africa @ Carter , do not underestimate yourself.. this way of roof chop is the best and I think it will give the best results each and every time...

Pup sure growing. Have a great day 👍

Good evening young man, I hope you are doing fantastic. You got a shut out from Our Wyoming Life, You and Mike and Cole from Sonne Farms are so fantastic, Fantastic video

Like your new boots! Those “live” roto rooters will do an excellent job in the old garden space..FTR is working smarter not harder …. Again. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and healthy 2024.

I didn’t realize just how curious cows are they make me laugh you can definitely tell what they’re thinking and someone has to do it first then the rest follow…I also really enjoy all your explanations I’m a very curious person and I always want to know what and why you have a great work ethic are an independent thinker you know how to make anything you need you don’t make excuses you just get to it and get it done I respect that you don’t curse or grumble and you take great care of your animals and your family

I'm amazed at how well that young puppy listens to you. Definately a GS dog trait. Makes me want to get one again!

Enjoy every episode, you take good care of your animals. Happy New Year !!

Another good day on the FTR! Looks like the mud is coming...LOL!

I grew up with farm cats. We never had to many. They kept the rodents under control. I know we had around 20 because they would show while I was milking. They always got a dish of fresh milk.

I like reading the comment section almost as much as watching your videos. People really give good advice to you. It’s like you’re never alone. Happy New Year to you & MFT & the kiddos too!!

Interesting fence setup for the stock that need it. Thank you for sharing.🐂

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO A FAVORITE FAMILY AND CHANNEL‼️‼️‼️🐾🐾🧨

Smart! We have a program in our area that will fix your cats. You have to sign up early in the month though. Might search around to see if you have that where you’re at. ❤❤❤ Happy New Year!!!!

It was amazing to watch those pigs get after your garden!! The one literally look like a bulldozer with his snout down in the dirt, and pushing forward as it all flew up over his face, digging for whatever treasures he could find. It was rightfully funny.🎼❣️ I enjoyed seeing the Barn Owls in Your the barn❣️ they are one of the more beautiful owls in my opinion and I do love their sound!! I’m amazing how big Bellie has gotten in such a short amount of time and how well behaved she is. I know she has learned a lot from Callie but also from you, Tyler❣️❣️ You have such an easy-going nature and she picks up on your attitude and tone of voice and gentleness remarkable just how well she is doing at such a young age😊❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ I’m with you about getting those cats, neutered and sprayed or whatever needs to happen, because there was a time on our farm when my father counted 32, cats and kittens. They’re not easy to get rid of because every other farmers got tons of cats and kittens as well. Good luck to you on that matter. As always, enjoy your video and look forward to the next one Tyler !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I watched another channel that deals with feral cat colonies and they talked about how many kittens a cat can have in their life (100’s!) and it was pretty amazing - so they did a lot of trap, spay/neuter, release back into the community Spay/neutering your barn cat population is one way to keep the population stable - I’m glad FTR is taking this step - and now we all know bacon grease is an excellent lure ! 😄

One could say that garden plot is hog heaven right now! LOL Owls are good mousers also! Maybe some of your farmer neighbors need some barn cats? Always enjoy your very interesting videos FTR. Looking forward to more in '24! 😊

I’ve had good luck trapping rats with peanut butter. Have tried everything else & the PB works best for me.

I think you should consider those cats your barn cats and fixing them is a great idea

If you have a vet school nearby, the vet students could maybe do the cat surgeries under direction of their professor.

The pigs are looking good have a Happy New Year.

Thank you for your videos. Have a happy prosperous, healthy new year.

👍for spay or neuter! Great job!

My dad and then my self raised hogs in hot wire, take an a.m. radio around the fence when you hear it snapping you found your short. The other thing is if you have rocks or a stump you need dug out ,take a pry bar poke some holes around it dribble a little feed or corn down them and get out of the way. May have to do it a couple times but it works.

Add fiberglass poles in-between step in posts and take out the sag. That will lift that bottom energized row off the ground.

Thanks. Happy NewYear. Enjoy the benefits of this rain.

I was happy to hear that you’d get the cats fixed and not just taken to the (In)Humane Society! You’re a good man, Tyler!

I thought those pigs would get lost in thought rooting around that garden but guess once bitten, twice shy.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and the family.

Hello from North Carolina, hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year,

Find a neighbor who would like some new barn kitty's. 😂

The owls were very cool, love watching Callie and Belly play. I was worried if Belly had experienced the hot wire yet, she’s certainly curious on everything you do! Interesting vid FT! Happy New Year to you all!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Happy New Year, good luck moving forward.

Good Afternoon, Tyler, Callie and Belly! Full Day! Lot of GROUND to cover! Solar panels! The Chicken! 100 Solar panel: 4200 volts! Winter Pasture! 6000 Volts Solar panels! Hot Wiring the Garden area! For the Piggies 🐷! Belly is getting big! Smart Piggies 🐷! Trail Cam! Owl 🦉! Barn Cat!🐈‍⬛ Great Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Farmer Tyler ranch will now read Farmer Tyler Cat Ranch lol.

When you bent down to place the hose over the hot wire, it looked like the metal S hook on the bottom was touching the T post.

If you have owls hanging out in your barn, chances are the rat was a meal for one of them.

Need a white board to list your prodgets and priorities on and we could follow along

Thank you for the video

great one as usual

Curious have you seen signs of that rat lately? Maybe owls have taken care of that problem. You are always a responsible animal caretaker. I appreciate that. That will be quite an expense to spayed or neutered all those cats but it is the right thing to do. Maybe the rat moved over to the bull pen because there aren’t any animals there now. Thanks for sharing the trail cam footage. I enjoy it. Happy and Healthy and Successful New Year to you and your family. God bless you all. Looking forward to 2024 and seeing what happens.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Tyler.

I'll be curious what those pigs will weigh in at. Good idea about the mama n kittens. Most feral programs offer very inexpensive spaying/neutering.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year FTR!

Hey farmer Tyler did those pigs eat those hot peppers lol? Hey nice video makes me want to raise some pigs!

The barn owls might be as effective at catching rodents as the cats.

thx

Our family ranch south of Santa Maria is along hwy 101 and we have a major problem with people releasing there unwanted cats and they migrate to our property I estimate we have over 50 cats roaming on our land, they do not live long as they all contract feline leukemia.

Great video ! Thank you for sharing ! 👏😀❤️

Hey Tyler guess what you didn't see? You guessed rat LOL

So glad I heard the sterilization/neuter words 😬 The owls should also do a good job in keeping rat population down as they're not on the cat menu 😅 All the very best for 2024 to you and your family.

Surprised the cats aren’t taking care of the rats and mice.

at the very end of one of your videos you were working on your irrigation system you used something long to screw or unscrew something in the ground and then you had some kind of half circle thing that you threw in the ground twice and left it there you didn’t any explanation so I’m still wondering what and why my curious mind always wants to know I’m actually kinda proud that now I know what a come-along is and how it is used not bad for a disabled gal that might be why I enjoy watching you go about your day with the ability to do anything you want and need to do

😊😊😊😊

Happy New Year FTR family 🎉 Tyler where is your wedding ring?😊

Tilled and fertilized in one fell swoop...

Since the kittens are so easy to trap, please get them fixed!

👍👍❤🐂🐔

I always thought that the grass was not like what you are feeding your cows…it looks to me like straw?…is that so?

Looks like you have a team on rodent control. Good for you

Hello from Birdseye Utah _H

💖💖💖💖💖

doesn't lots of cats mean 0 mice 😢 Happy new year

😎

Did I hear Mike Galloway say you two talk often about cattle operations?

Don’t owls eat mice & rats?

I hear that cornmeal and baking soda mix is good for rodents as they cannot pass gas and it is safe for animals

How long does a roll of hot wire usually last.

Peanut butter works best for rodents.

Yea fix them cats and kittens!

cheap chinese bungy cord rubber...made with ground up steel-belted radial tire contaminates. I've had an awful time patching cheap rubber bicycle tire intertubes...it's impossible today...actual realrubber patch with rubber cement will not adhere to the chinese rubber intertube...which again is doped with too much recycled rubber auto tires. In the 1960's and 70's bicycle tire patching was easy as a child, even if you didn't do it correctly, it still worked...w/ today's cheap rubber it's impossible to patch a bike tire from china.

YOU ARE WORKING TOO HARD USING THAT HAMMER 🔨 ON THE FENCE POST!!! GET ONE OF THOSE PIPE WITH THE CLOSED END AND HANDLES ON THE SIDES!!!

I think I saw pepa pig 😂 pretty lame dad joke I know
