This is the kind of high stress situation I don't think you would know anything about. It gets difficult to be perfectly efficient when you have to be concerned about yourself and your friends being suddenly killed. That's basically the main objective. I'd love to hear your eh...history though....unless that's your actual photograph-in that case forget it
@@ChadDidNothingWrongthey are idiots with all their noise and commotion. Before the 3 minute mark. There is no need for it. Been around bulls my entire life. These guys act like the animals are nothing more than a commodity.
@@ChadDidNothingWrongIf these idiots would not haben stressed this bull out it would all have been much more calm and nobody would have to fear for their life. Don't give us that macho crap
Yeah my grandfather worked for a guy who got emasculated by a bull and another guy who got disemboweled by a bull. They are no joke. Everytime you're dealing with an angry bull it's always high stress
@@BigBadWolf995 That is why you should stay calm and not start to frighten and provocate the bull. These guys are making it worse+ are just stupid macho's
Very inexperienced rangers I can see, in this situation I don't want many people in the kraal when attempting to bring aggressive animals, there must be minimum noise and movement of people. These keep animal calm. I'm from South Africa
@@freeagent2207 you seem to have misread... I dont play cowboy... cowboys aint always stockmen, i'm a stockman not a cowboy. Dragging an animal on its feet with a truck sure aint a display of stockmanship.
My father when he worked on the farm all he needed to round up big black Angus bulls was his horse and a whip. You lot just aggravated that bull unnecessarily.🇦🇺
Lmao. Used to do this as a kid with my brother that was 5 years older, my dad, and my grandpa. Mexico every December. Just needed some balls and the 2 strong tree stumps that were in his small corral. That was our team haha.
Why were they all screaming at each other still even after the bull was locked up as if it was that urgent lol. Bull standing chilling locked in the trailer man’s like “GET THE ROOOOPE!!!!! GGGEEEETTTT THHEE ROOOOOOOPPPE!!!!!”
@@apachecowboy8981 Don't respond to those who hate...Do your job and stay safe .God bless and keep you ,I too have seen the workings of ranch cowboys blood ,sweat & tears when they have lost their prized horse.No fears !GRIC COMM.💪❤
All that screaming Makes the bull worse,Me Mom ,Dad and my Uncle used to work our cows and none of us seldom screamed or yelled,we actually ran a couple off once that was helping ,they started all that screaming ,Dad told then just go home.We let the cows rest for about 30 to calm down,then the 4 of us did it quite & calm just fine
@@REV-mu5tu I did just fine with me and a dog , driving them , pen work , branding , calving time . Grandad did the same back before any fences , just him and good horse and dog
I am amazed no American cattle ranchers have yet learned to use the Spanish trick of using tame oxen to gather up and move bulls. The bull fighting industry routinely does that. They move fighting bulls that way. It would surely work against beef bulls.
Poor bull. Why would they make such sounds, and throw something at it? If the bull is “mean” why wouldn’t they immediately remove themselves from the situation to deescalate the bull which is clearly only reacting out of fear.
I’ll admit I know absolutely nothing about bulls or cows or how to “catch” them. But come on! There must be a better way to do it rather than stress the animal out so badly. This was hard to watch. 😳😢
Stunning animal. When my Husband and I used to travel we'd comment on Bulls in the pastures. Wouldn't want to mess with him. Yikes. Farming and Ranching is dangerous and hard work. Thank you for sharing your livelihood with us. M
I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming. That’s not the way to do it. Like the Australians said, but a couple of cows in with him and don’t panic him. It even works with Bison.
Lol reminds me of my childhood. Bulls, particularly younger ones, were always a nightmare to work with. My cousins and I would spend a whole day trying to get one into our closed off pen; and then some would be so worked up they would run full speed through our fence of jump over it if small enough. Good times. I’m sure there was a better way to do the job but we were dumb kids given very little instruction.
Thats exactly what i thought. Everyone I've been around were like huge babies. My pops had a huge one that would get mad if you didn't get in the pen with him.
You probably haven't been in the cattle business long. These animals dont always want to be your best friend 😂 I been a working cowboy all my life. I can tell you it can get real very fast.
I used to work at an Angus ranch in Utah, and whenever the bulls got all angry like that we would just throw a cow in there and they would come in the trailer really easy. I miss working in a ranch, it was hard work but it was fun.
its like i call party line and insult all the guys but one lady i like her and she come and say relax man man she got magic she is the boss i stop insultin the other guys
How come you guys didn't just throw a couple of cows in there with him and calmly herd him toward the trailer? At least put some sweet feed in the trailer to give him a reason to go in there.
hi! from experience cows usually don't go in the trailer by feed if they have never got in a trailer before or sometimes if they have. gone too... i load plenty of cows and most of the time your definitely in for a treat!
Reminds me of the time I was hunting and walking with my dog through a large field. The bull didn't like my dog and took off after her. Not an emergency until the dog started running to me for help. I took off running too and managed to make the fence before the bull did. The dog was smart and reached the fence before me... she knew she didn't have to outrun the mad bull - just me.
Getting that bull all riled up and angry FIRST just made your job so much harder. This is why all my animals were bucket trained. No matter where they were, if they heard grain rattle in a bucket they came running and they'd go anywhere you wanted with that bucket.
@@dawsonmathis7828 You only need one, the rest will follow. And seriously? Do you think you might be just a bit ridiculous with that question? Well, I do. But it can be done, in a way. Ranchers do it all the time when they drive bales out to the fields. The cows hear the truck and take off running for the chow wagon.
@@dawsonmathis7828 Ahh got it. They get spoiled then huh? Cows! Good thing they are so incredibly edible cull the problem child and toss it's butt in the freezer. I've never had to deal with 100s of them so I can see how it might be different . The only thing I ever had 100 of was chickens and I can tell you 1 or 100 of those things will ALWAYS come running at the call for the feed bucket. If you have 100s of cows then I'm a wee bit jealous. Anyway, you have a great day
So we have an aggressive bull.....lets make loud noises and make him more aggressive lol. Not saying im a pro, but......... Maybe try some grain 1st? Idk just saying
@@dannymarquez168 Oh please! stick to your day job slick, you ain't no full-time cowboy. You pretend to be one but you are not. I Get off of your high horse and come back to reality. They did what they had to do to get the job done and THATS the bottom line.
@@shiloh2735 haha. Ok but ever heard the old saying that involves sugar and vinegar?? Why stir up a pot that is already boiling? That's all im saying here!!
A chicken catcher gets the rope off easier. And this makes me thankful I have mostly docile cows, bull, and calves. Docility is a very important trait when deciding on a breeding bull. Where we got our Brahman bull. The guy was leading our bull's dad with a bucket of range cubes and petting him. The bull was over six feet tall with the hump and weighed around 2,300 lbs! I knew after seeing that. That our bull would be easy going.
I used to give the cattle treats! We had a black angus bull that was very docile and would eat a tomato out of your hand! My uncle thought he was not doing his breeding job so he brought in a second part Brahma and Hereford! Only problem was he got scared when you had to spray him so you had to be careful! Both Bulls did their duty and all the cows gave birth! Would always have a large garden but invited relatives never showed up to pick and even had to throw away those on porch after picking them so just fed them to cattle! THEY LIKE! Could be too my Aunt got attacked when picking once by critter! That may have scared off relatives! Squirrel up in tree eating a corn cobb and beaned her with it! Well she was right under the tree branch!
Yeah they delibrately made him mad! 10 times harder than it had to be! Also their lucky he wasn't more volitile! Some bulls would have torn them apart!
I’ve had mean bulls before that didn’t’t want to load......I’d put a cow or two in the front of the trailer and with some patience they would almost load themselves
Hi! I’m curious? Where would you transport the bulls? Are they being sold or taken to a rodeo for a weekend or something ? Very interesting to me. Excited to read your answer :). They are so awesome to watch.
From personal experience, I can say it's easier and safer with just one or two other helpers. One time a Brahman tore the panel of one whole side of the trailer and busted two tie down ropes and got away. It was six cowboys then, following day my Dad and myself got him in a loaner trailer it took patience and not aggravating the bull. Brahman bulls are some of the meanest bulls. This Hereford probably had little to no human interaction in a good while. Good video!
@@lucreziavilante5993 well, everyone has their method, but yes it helps. Although we did the " persuading" after the bull had two ropes on him ( one to each side of the trailer). But when it comes to to livestock with little or no human I interaction , you hope for the best but prepare for the worst. There's no official right way I guess, I was only sharing a similar experience.
@@israelsantos7896 to let you both know... these bulls we have here are willing to protect there territory and have not had any human interaction in a decade... maybe thats the reason their so defensive. We barely started this 48500 acre ranch and some of this wide open territory has not even been ridden on..... a hour n a half before we showed up... two cowboys tried to push all 3 bulls into the other corral ...but the other 2 bulls jumped the alley way and got away.... so they waited for us to show up and help.... hope that explains alot of how dangerous, wild n crazy these bulls are...
I live downtown in a city and have literally never thought about having to do something like this. Like I didn’t even realize lasso swinging still held a functional place in ranching. these dudes have my respect that’s for sure.
Been there. Done that. Hard work. Scary as heck. When you see a mature bull pawing the ground and tossing that head, you dang sure gotta be careful. Loading and transporting a bull is NOT easy work nor for the faint of heart! Good job gentlemen!!
Sky, you guys need to build a hook and keep it with each of your trailers. An 8 foot piece of 3/8" cold rolled rod with a hook turned back on one end and a tee welded on the other end is a handy tool. It's not worth a broken hand to reach for the rope. I enjoy these videos and thanks for taking the time to make them.
Growing up on a dairy farm here in Central California, I agree that is the best approach!… only time to be aggressive and flex nuts is when all else fails! Lmao
Tldr included* Reminds me of a day I visited a friend that was doing laundry and we were chilling as it was being hung to dry as 2 bulls begun to fight across the fence where we were and then they ripped the entire fence down and as we ran down the side of the house they followed behind taking the same path we took til we rounded a corner. *TLDR: Bulls are fucking crazy.
I am just going to say it. I know you'll get judgemental people, but if anyone thinks they can do better I would LOVE to see them try. Sky, I think you do an amazing job. You and your guys get in there and get the job done. It may not be perfect, but it's the way y'all were taught and know how, which doesn't make it wrong. That was one pissed off bull. To load that guy with "training" would have taken hours to days. They don't just train like horses. Especially bulls! Y'all keep doing what you're doing and those that love you will keep watching. Great job. I support you 100%! 👍💪🙏👏🤠
@@rebekahleskiw7879 we have no idea what happened with this bull before. They had to have gotten him in the pen somehow. Maybe he was worked up from that who knows. All I know is I am not here to judge someone off of a video that looks pretty legit. I believe these guys are completely wild. No being fed daily by people. This are out in AZ where someone let of bunch of cattle go to do whatever. So to say you have 2 that don't do this, well they see humans. I don't think these guys do if I remember reading correctly. I may be wrong, but I think that's what I read. Again who are we to judge. They are hurting the bull, he's not bleeding, theres no broke bones, there's no nothing like that. I've seen worse where a lady was trying to continue despoooking a horse on a sidewalk next to a very busy Street. That's something to complain about. Not this. Have a great night
Really, they are stupid inadequate bully boys, trying to get kicks out of tormenting an animal. A bunch of little men trying to give some meaning to their worthless existence.
Everyone of these cowboys will step up when work starts and make a hand and know how to mix in some fun time …great video thanks for sharing your videos
I’d be pissed too if I was stuck by myself in a dry dusty lot with no green grass, no shade or shelter of any kind, the hot sun beating down on me day after day, flies covering me, then a bunch of hostile men show up and treat me like crap, trying to scare me, then they throw a rope around me and I don’t know what the hell they are trying to do to me. But they’re all making crazy loud noises and scaring me. Poor guy. He had a right to be pissed off!
Good catch with that rope. Y’all do things a little different than we do in Texas. We usually go in nice and easy with only a couple of guys. Y’all got him trailered and had some fun, so I guess you’re doing it right. Keep up the good work.
At least Apache Cowboy knew what he was doing,the other guys didn't know SFA on how to handle him. Not sure where he's going, hopefully greener pastures.
I love the way you guys communicated and worked the plan....Oh, you didn't have a plan, that's why nobody knew what they were supposed to do, and that's why you guys look like goat ropers.
Dan Nix They just abused this animal I would not put him in with the cows. They should be reported to the relevant sources and charged with cruelty. All hero’s when the bull can’t get at them.
I had a favorite fishing spot for BASS! On another ranchers property that had Brahma Bulls still got in the pasture and kept a eye on them! I even got sprayed by a skunk once still kept fishing! Just because you get sprayed do not let that stop you! Lucky I have sinusitis nostrils just closed up and had walked about 2 and half miles from home! So no messing up vehicle did change clothes in Garage though! Soaked in tomato juice!
My dad would have went the trailer and took rope off! We roped bull and it just broke the ropes so dad went with angry bull and vaccinated it while it roared.
What made this Hereford bull so mean? I haven’t heard of this particular breed getting aggressive. Are you taking him to market? I’ve pushed cattle at a stockyards before. He’s one I definitely wouldn’t like to encounter! You all did great work.
I've been around cattle most of my life and have never seen a Hereford that mean. One of you guys just get in there and grab the bull by the horns. Somebody has pissed this boy off. LOL
1.At first I was wondering what in the hell the old men were doing , and at the end I still was wondering what the hell they were even there for. 2.Perfect opportunity for a cowboy hat, 3.Camera man is one hell of a hand.
Thought you were going to have a train wreck there a couple of times, especially when the old man was caught standing between the fence and the rope. At least it was a Herford, if it was a Brahma he would have jumped the fence like a deer, then you would have seen cowboys diving into the corral. hahaha good memories Sky, thanks again.
Yes it is surprising they are usually quiet even temped in comparison to some of the other breeds . But we don't know the bulls history and how he has been raised so who knows what happened to the poor thing . Herfords are my favourite cattle breed they are such characters always guaranteed to get a laugh out of them .
@@gypsysunrise69 did u seriously just make me a list? I see more cattle daily then most people will in their entire lives. Lets go thru this list. 1. If he's a herford mix than he's a mixed with another herford. 2. He's been around people at least once a year when he's separated back off the cows, but more likely he sees people daily when the farmer is checking fence, maintaining water tanks putting out mineral, etc. 3. They are not doing anything TO pass him off. This is their animal, they wouldn't work him up for no reason. If they are going thru all this to get him loaded you best believe that they've tried everything else on God's green earth first. Let me tell you there are cattle out there that are just waiting for you to get close enough so they can eat your lunch. This is one of them. Usually they have ears that drag the ground and a hump on their neck, but I this case it's a herford.
