Thank you Leslie! Hope the coming year is great for you as well!

I definitely got that sense! Thank you very much! It's still one of my personal favorite videos

Klaus Karbaumer ...Yeah, the hay regenerates itself, horses multiply naturally, all it takes is men to keep it going.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Greetings from the USA :)

I saw your earlier one some time ago. Went back to have a look, and found it a little different. I love it. Horses re-generate themselves, breed. Grass grows to become hay. I love the fences which break the wind for the horses. Hang on! As this video plays again I'm getting some of the older one. However, I'm not impressed so much with the dog, he needs to come off when he's called off, and give the kid her hat! I do know my working dogs. Love the sled and the gear on it, the hay grabber. Here its all baled, small top quality bales for horses, round bales for weedy stuff or anything ruined by weather, and the oaten, if there's any left to bale. So much high energy here compared with your way. I am a caretaker tenant (I'm a 71 yo horsewoman) they grow irrigated lucerne (alfalfa) and winter oats. Raising vealer calves using half-dairy cows and Limousin bulls. Very impressive calves. Can't wait to see where your brother is now.

@@thejoepatterson If you have done other films of the farm I would love to see them.

SAW I haven’t been back to that particular ranch as my brother moved on the year after I made this. But my film “Interview With A Buckaroo” does feature him on a ranch in Nevada, and if you’re interested in more of my agricultural work, I did a short film called “Harvest” with our local dry edible bean growers, which is also on my channel!

I saw your name and I was going to ask if you were any relation to the Kurtzers in northeast Colorado!

Yep Larry is my dad.

@@milokurtzer3453 that’s awesome! I grew up in Haxtun and I still see some of the Kurtzer clan from time to time!

@@printaboul 😊 Bitte, Gerne!

Raymond Schneider thank you very much, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! As of right now my brother is on a ranch in Idaho, which make it a little more of a challenge for me to get out there to work with him, but I’d definitely love for that to happen sometime!

My mother took me to a draft horse show when I was little and it was amazing. They are truly awesome animals! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!

In this day and age they are often the ones get sent to the meat market. And back in the day, the spooky draft horses were at minimum not allowed to pass on their genes but they were probably killed and eaten as well because..its one thing to have a small to regular sized horse that spooks at his shadow while it is an entirely different thing to have a draft horse that is out of control. If you can't use it for work, and it poses a danger to you, your property, and your other livestock. Why keep feeding it? I have a strong feeling that this is why large horse breeds are generally more mellow while you have more hotness in smaller breeds like arabians, hackenys etc. Of course arabians are also physiologically built to have more energy as well, and while it is probsbly rare, I have known one Arab..in fact he was also a stallion, who was mellow and if us kids wanted to go out and play with the horses on my aunt's property, the only one who's area we were allowed in unattended was his. I think there is a lot of irresponsible horse breeding and that a lot of bad genes are tolerated in the name of beauty. The fact is, if people bred for temperament first, we'd have a lot less abused horses and a lot fewer in slaughterhouses.

Random Acts thank you! I’m glad you liked it! I’m a fan too, obviously!

Jody Sappington you’re welcome!

So glad to hear that! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Utah thank you!

Stuck In NY thank you! It is indeed, when I work with my brother I always ask him if there is any music he’d like included, and that was his pick at the time!

Stuck In NY not sure. Then again I don’t know if I’ve used the dislike button more than once or twice the entire time I’ve been on RU-vid, and I’ve never left a negative comment. If I don’t like something I generally just move on. There are enough negative voices crowding the internet, it doesn’t need mine. I just want to make things other people like to watch :)

Only reason I would dislike would be cause I dont live in Colorado 😕😋

Ugliness n hate i think..they dont get beauty courage n honor

Thank you Tracy!

Mangoworms

Mangoworms??? Explain yourself please?

shane jeffery hey Shane! Thanks for commenting! You know, I’m not entirely sure. It’s been my observation that there’s an element of this kind of work being a calling. Certainly there are many jobs that would be easier and pay more. I can’t speak for everyone but I know my brother and others like him feel a pull to the traditions, the animals, and the preservation of the cowboy way of life. Some hands do stick to a ranch for long stretches of time, but others move around quite a bit for various reasons. Over the years my brother’s worked on multiple Colorado ranches as well as outfits in Wyoming, Nebraska, Nevada, and currently Idaho.

@@thejoepatterson thanks for the reply.I guess its something you either love or hate...some of us dont mind a bit of hard slog.We get the harsh winters here in new zealand too and i have an outdoors job so i can relate to that...although i would trade my digger and trucks for a team of draught horses any day...We have a few horses my partner and I...one of which is a clydesdale but hes a bit of a hacker...he wouldnt last a day with your brothers team lol way too soft All the best ...Shane

Oh wow, New Zealand! That’s awesome! Yeah, I can definitely identify with that sentiment, sometimes we put up with the less appealing aspects of something because we prefer that difficulty to someone else’s. I’d rather be outside working with my hands than just punch a clock at an office every day. That may be some people’s jam but it’s certainly not mine.

Thanks Betty!

Du kannst auch mit den vorderen Kufen auf einen Holzbalken fahren. Dann hängend die Kufen etwas in der Luft. Sie frieren dann nicht komplett fest. Die Pferde haben es dann leichter, den Schlitten anzuziehen. Das habe ich bei "Working Horses with Jim" gesehen.

Alan Lenzi thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! He moved to a ranch in Nevada about a year and a half ago, I actually just released another film on my channel today that features him at his new place!

Thank you, Chad! I'm honestly not sure about the brand of the grapple.

Ronald Putnam that’s a good idea!

A gas-powered portable generator!

they didnt have so many critics either

Laurie, honest question, are you familiar with what a cattle prod is? The cow was fine, I can assure you. It was a bump on its rear with a rubber boot to get the group to move.

@@thejoepatterson exactly. I was like 'Whoa, hell no!' When the dog was jumping and trying to nose nip the horse @ 18:20. Selective outrage has left the house. Lol.

Hey Gerry! I saw your comments and just wanted to clarify a few things. By the time the horses were turned out it was much warmer, the temp fluctuates a lot that time of year. My brother left the employ of that particular outfit not long after this video was released, and part of his reasoning was their treatment of/how they worked their teams.
