You can get some pipe or boards to run through your panels, as the cows move up move your boards or pipe up. This keeps the cows from backing up.

@bt6195 9 месяцев назад

Great advice, makes a huge difference

@johnsadler8637 9 месяцев назад

We did that as well when we had a known recalcitrant. Usually, though, I was given the task to follow them and prevent backing up by putting my knees directly against their back legs and lifting with my thighs. It’s surprisingly effective, although you have to get high enough not to get kicked and come down too close for them to kick. For bigger animals, I grabbed the boards on either side and that kept them from being strong enough to back me up. They are surprisingly weak in backing up. The other drawback? You sometimes get, um, stuff all over yourself. 🥴

@DEJones71 9 месяцев назад

Great idea if the animals are belligerent, Most animals as interactive as they are go willingly. Lets see what happens on shipping day.

@gracehill4378 9 месяцев назад

We have done this for years. We’ve had some large animals.

Here's something I learned about loading or working cattle; "If they can't see through it, they won't try to go through it." Doesn't always work but does more times than not. Cardboard or cheap tarps to act as blinders work well. The key is to create tunnel vision for them. Tuck that one away for future reference. Good luck and don't get hurt! Murfreesboro,TN

@edhondo4447 9 месяцев назад

load the steers the night before in the trailer . give them some hay to keep them busy overnight . won't hurt them and will make your day much better

@providerwilliams5199 9 месяцев назад

Your house is awesome. I love seeing you and your wife working together. Great teamwork!

@kentkeller5211 9 месяцев назад

Hang your gates higher. You are digging low spots and creating mud puddles / icy spots . gates also naturally sag over time. Great looking pie!

@kentkeller5211 9 месяцев назад

Do not climb on the gates no matter how small you are!!!!!!

@neeterdave 9 месяцев назад

I’m looking forward to the steer moving video! Oh, the pot pie looks delicious!

@TacRecon70 9 месяцев назад

You need to put bicycle training wheel on the lock.side of gate. This will eliminate issue with closing. Use half inch bolts and washers. It worked great over 55 years ago. Should eliminate drop and ease of closure.

@DEJones71 9 месяцев назад

I am happy that training wheels worked for you, but I would not use them. Just another device to struggle with and maintain. We were always successful in hanging the gate at a distance where it would not hit the ground. This required a heavy anchor post like Evan uses and a diagonal anchor.

@jeffkizer6666 9 месяцев назад

I think the pot pie looks absolutely delicious!! 😊

@EC4400 9 месяцев назад

Wow! the TMY is so versatile. It made light work of those stumps. What a good way to transport those panels. Planning is key. Great job.

@DEJones71 9 месяцев назад

closing the claw and working the stump back and forth while lifting is more effective.

@vanessakristle7599 9 месяцев назад

That one steer was trying to show his cuteness. He's saying, "Don't you want to keep me, I'm so cute!!"

@christienagema7855 9 месяцев назад

Place a wheel at the other side of the gate for smoother closing.

@leol1682 9 месяцев назад

Good job Evan & Reb, why dint you lift the big gate .

@gracehill4378 9 месяцев назад

I also wanted to say on those long heavy gates. You can set a tall pipe and run a wire down to the other end of the gate. Use turn buckles to tighten the wire. This takes the weight off the gate. Look at old westerns and you will see this in use. We have done this on our larger gates. Good job, I enjoy watching your progress.

I did the same thing with one of my gate hinges. I just drilled a hole through the top end of the hinge that stuck out and put a hitch pin clip in it. It took less than 5 minutes. Now if I ever need to pull the gate, I just pull the pin.

@josephbrown-ut9ty 9 месяцев назад

JudithB lWe built a permanent chute and small corral next to the hog pen on one side and cattle on the other side to load into the trailers. We attached a head gate on the end to work cattle shots and worming. The rr ties and 2x 10 boards on the sides of the chute, we could work on any hurt areas, the vet thought we did a good job!! LOL!

@adrianbew9641 9 месяцев назад

Cattle often lick dirt because it contains essential salts. Farmers usually put out salt blocks for their cattle to prevent them damaging hedges or digging pits. Something you may need to consider with your cows.

They have salt feeders out for them.

@chris3m98 9 месяцев назад

Evan, for the future, buy yourself a bubble T-type level ($5.00 or less) & glue it on your drill body. It will allow you to drill holes straight into whatever you're drilling. Some RU-vid farmers load their pigs/beef the night before so the meat won't change in taste? That being the cast you do it you wouldn't lose too much time from work?

@LorraineDennison1960 9 месяцев назад

Maggie approved. So the pie must be good. 🥰Hopefully the steers load easily on the day.

@clintabbott5327 9 месяцев назад

That pie !!

@stevemartinez6757 9 месяцев назад

@JamesCouch777 9 месяцев назад

Our previous farm was 211 acres and was split up with a creek and a couple of roads so we had to have several corrals. The main thing I learned is that having two or 3 side catch pens is a game changer. I used what we learned from the other farm to build our current corral and it works exceptionally well. Good luck with your farm!

@JRattheranch 9 месяцев назад

@thurlowfamilyfarm4628 9 месяцев назад

It’ll be interesting to see how easily they go into your chute once they’re locked into the catch pen.

@olddawgdreaming5715 9 месяцев назад

Looks like you got things worked out, sure hope loading works easy for you. Hope they are grain trained and will follow the bucket shaking. Great call on the stakes Rebecca !! You two stay safe and keep up the fun. The pot pie looked fabulous, it's a favorite around here too. Fred.

@jeffmescher2714 9 месяцев назад

You might like to consider taking note of you corral panels when setting your gate heights. Your livestock don't go under the corral panels so when setting your gate height you can raise them up so that they work more freely, not dragging on the ground

@katieallen3927 9 месяцев назад

And a higher fence makes it easier to clear weeds from underneath the fence if that becomes necessary.

@mrclaus859 9 месяцев назад

@jamesharless5357 9 месяцев назад

@donmedford2563 9 месяцев назад

Just a suggestion but I would raise my gates several inches off the ground. When it freezes the ground will heave up but if you have the gate posts in deep like they should be, the gates will not go up. Also if you get rain then it freezes puddles on the ground, you can not get the gates open.

@adamanderson6624 9 месяцев назад

Loading through the working shoot can work well sometimes bc its heavy enough it can't be thrown around by those big steers. Hope it works out for you!

@johngastineau653 9 месяцев назад

@frrapp2366 9 месяцев назад

Small roll around jackto lift and hold gates in place works good might want to put a couple of lite chain on top of the panels to keep it from spreading st the top

@brucehay4659 9 месяцев назад

Put grain in the trailer during the week and feed them grain in the trailer like Pete does with his pigs so they get use to it. Let them go in and out to get use to it. Then loading morning will go easy.

@danielmartin843 9 месяцев назад

The pot pie looks good. As you are setting up your cow barn a permanent corral and shoot would be handy since you raise steers for meat every year..

@DEJones71 9 месяцев назад

Evan, I have watched ranchers load horses and cattle for the first time, and they conditioned them by placing their favorite feed in the trailer and allowing them to go in the day before on their own, so all would go well on the shipping day.

@jamesacuff-oz4ph 9 месяцев назад

First, I would start feeding them in the area to get them use to the area. The stakes are not a bad idea, but a t-post will work much better when twine is tied to the t-post and coral panel. If you’ve got a couple of chains I would lay them on the ground and hook them to the coral panels to prevent the animals from spreading them as they are loading.

@arrowjmfarms 9 месяцев назад

You have a setup real close to a bud box there. Not trying to tell you how to run your system but you should look into the bud box design. It would make working and loading cattle very easy. And can also be constructed with those portable panels.

@doncc6080 9 месяцев назад

Did you think of putting feed in the trailer everyday to get them used to going in. For a permanent chute a ramp up to the trailer might be an addition.

@terryhawkins4295 9 месяцев назад

Park your tractors along side your narrow alley way, if the cattle decide they don't wana go this little stakes won't do much if anything. Don't need anyone getting hurt. Cattle are very strong

@jonkwin9620 9 месяцев назад

Ya could have used the head race thing as a temporary cattle panel ! If used in the right place it would have provided extra strength against the panels spreading too.

@theburnhams2925 9 месяцев назад

Evan! Instead of digging up (and destroying) a high-traffic area which is presently very stable, (even reinforced with tree roots!) why not just shorten the gate- hinge's top pin, and/or lengthen the bottom one? (or both; it's free!)
