Cows are very smart animals. They growing very fast they got they on mind. Go give they hay. I really enjoy your videos. Am always learning something new was sick few days ago.Enjoy your day. Stay blessed
I've always heard the fastest way to move cattle is the slowest... I'd say you just proved that 👍👏 Nice drone footage also , well done on everything including the guitar!! 😉
Thanks BTO yes that seems to be true! The slower you go the faster you go. I thought the drone helped show what was going on really well on this one, those kinds of angles were exactly what I had in mind when I bought it! Thanks again!
tyler the mental games are alot like 2-3 yrs olds when playful slightly defiant. the drone is so good to see what happens!! grass feed beef!!!!you rock guy!great vid !!!
I absolutely loved this video, Farmer Tyler ! Your cattle behave so well because you treat them so good...like I said before, any animal responds to kindness and you certainly treat them with respect ! Thanks so much for sharing.... :)
I enjoyed watching how you separate the steers, but I really like hearing the tractor start right up. The cattle are all looking good and the steers look like they will fill out nicely.
Oh man as soon as they saw you running they all took off lol. I was yelling "Hurry up dude" when you were getting the gate closed. I thought at least one was going to slip through. Very exciting.
Its always amazed me, watching people qork cows, they get mad the cows get mad, the cows win. I like your approach, but then a good set of corrals help. Loved the drone shots. You need to train hank tp watch the gate for ya. Thanks for sharing tyler, and thanks for publishing interesting video i look forward to them
Thanks Kory you hit the nail on the head right there! I thought the drone perspective was really helpful on this one, those are the kind of shots I bought it for. I’m glad you like the videos thanks for all the support!
Lol cattle psychology. Another well made production brother. Learning more about cattle from you and few other RU-vid channels, its nice to compare and contrast different methods and thougts on the subject. Happy to hear no grain. They don't have the stomachs for it. Simple biology. Good job Tyler. Please keep it up😀
Smart move 2 capture the cattle, diversion. U almost lost the cattle corral dash, the gate almost got U. LOL U have some very calm steers, work them at their speed, no rush, good job my friend. Glad 2 C how easy U worked the butcher steers with the water tub relocated 2 other side of corral. Do not care how tough a cowboy U think U R, U will lose the battle with a 900 pound yearling! Luv the drone footage Tyler.
@@farmertylerranch4399 Ok, the really big question. The 4 steers appear 2 B only black angus, no baldys in the group. Is that grouping by design, grass fed black angus beef?
You are doing great ,I see when you threw that hay ,the cows ran quick and that's letting you know more ,when you want them to move you just throw the hay and they will go the right way.
That was fun watching them make a be-line for that open gate and you running to close it. I am amazed how calm your cattle are; I guess it's your calm demeanor.
I don't have many cows but they are just as Wiley! I noticed they had a great respect for horns so I got myself a couple! 2 three foot sticks, 1 in each hand held out like arm extensions . . . . much easier when I'm working alone, I don't even have to touch a cow, they just think I have the biggest horns around :-) until we get to the ramp!
Quite late to your video, but wanted to say I really liked seeing how you deal with your cattle. I have a few myself and they are pretty cool animals…not stupid my any means.
Yum, yum, there is nothing like meat from your own steers, fresh and the taste is awesome nothing like the meat in the stores! You know your cows and you beat them to the gate!
It's a good thing you're a good runner. I wasn't sure if you were going to make it. Lol. As always, with your videos, I learned things. I especially like your 'cattle phylosphy' about remaining calm.
I do believe that they will return everyday to the manger for their extra hay. As docile as they were once separated, they seem to me to be quite content. I liked that you were able to move two at a time, that way they didn't panic and try to bulldoze over you.
I remember getting cows “unhappy” when I worked on a ranch: they almost went on the bovine equivalent of a sit down strike. Only two things would get them to cooperate : food and a savvy Quarter Horse. Your calm approach is, by far, the best way to deal with steers when you’re on foot. Ditto cows and heifers... Bulls??? I have not a clue....
I think I said last time that you would sleep well that night. I was wrong. You must sleep well every night. Such hard work for one person. Gee whiz and you stay quite cool. Do you ever get annoyed lol 😊🌿💚🌿
finally FTR -1 COWS -0 they usually win lol but they made you work for that win i saw the moment of panic when the gate wouldnt go lol 2:06 them is some happy boys hugssssss from Ontario Canada
Hmm.. "grass fed beef", technically is supposed to be only pasture fed. In many areas, "certified grass fed beef" is just that, only pasture fed, no hay no grain. Some say it's alright to feed grass hay, in some areas, that's acceptable. But still no grain, so they don't finish properly. I know of some who do only pasture, but with a twist... They will finish them on alfalfa and grass pasture, the alfalfa takes place of grain. They will properly finish and marble then. In the end, as long as your customers are happy😎 We finish on good gras hay and grain.... Our customers are always happy!! (Just talked to one today, they ran out, had to buy hamburger in the store.... He said it just wasn't "right!" Thanks for the video Tyler!!! Oh, and that 1200 pounds, just about perfect!!! Most processors don't want anything heavier than that anymore, they want something they can handle and everything is more uniform, makes it easier for them to cut and wrap!!
The National Cattleman’s Beef Association defines grass fed (or finished) like this- Grass-finished cattle spend their entire lives grazing and eating from pastures. These cattle may also eat forage, hay or silage at the feedyard. www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/cuts/grass-vs-grain?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtf_tBRDtARIsAIbAKe0GHjrDddABEtxeM0w5IBnW9VdKEblOlgE42Z7PZids6QYHmAm4HYwaAuPYEALw_wcB I’m not sure silage should be allowed (although it is) but I feel hay deserves to be part of the definition because except for alfalfa, what is hay but dry grass? That being said...I see your point! It is a kind of a misleading name! Thanks Ed
Grass fed itself is a dumb term if you think about it since if feeding hay is technically not “Grass Fed”. The we don’t feed the cows grass they self harvest the grass! I’d argue and say just about all beef is Grass fed for some duration. It’s the finishing process that we are looking for when it comes to the most nutritious beef. That yellow fat that which is indicative of the carotenes with is found from forage. I agree with Tyler in the aspect that hay is dried grass and if you can get the cattle to finish on it then it fits the bill as Grass Finished Beef! I’d just like to know what kind of hay it is and what’s the protein % of it? The hay we have here in south Texas are usually under 8% protein so it would be hard to finish a beef on it alone. Been wanting to experiment with feeding alfalfa hay in the dormant seasons to see how much if any weight gain we’d get.
@@farmertylerranch4399 grass silage would be no different than grass hay.... As for hay, it can be made from anything.. clover, alfalfa, corn, radish, whatever you can cut, dry and bale....wheat, barely, oats, teff (called a grass, but technically a grain)
That went really well! At first I was thinking "Oh no, why doesn't he have help?" That could've went a whole different way. So glad it was as smooth as glass for you! How are your lights working for you now that you added to your tractor?
Yes it did thank you Paulla! I’m sure you’ve figured out I mostly do these jobs by myself. The lights are working good, now I just need more of them! Thanks again!
@@farmertylerranch4399 - Yes, I've noticed you are working alone a lot, but that won't always be so I'm sure. More lights! LOL You really must want to be blinded. Or are you just talking about more around the ranch?
So do you feed your cows just grass and/Or hay? We always give ares grain along with hay and then let them graze on pasture grass or vise of versa. Butcher cows go to the feed lot for 3 to 4 week to be feed corn along with other supplement. Grass feed beef don't really sell here in the South. Everyone says grass feed beef is grainy and tough and not a whole lot of flavor to it. Just curious so why you don't use grain to help them put some fat on for flavor and weight.
Yes just grass and hay. I think this started for us back in the 60’s because Grandpa didn’t want to spend on grain and it kind of just stuck. Now it’s sought after because of the health benefits and flavor.
@@farmertylerranch4399 definitely a lot different between Western Beef and Southern Beef. I guess it all depends on what part of the world you live in everybody over here just doesn't really care for the strictly grass-fed beef are really just doesn't sell here.
Could you do a video about how you got started selling finished beef, whats it cost vs just selling at the sale. How do you charge, on the hoof or processed weight. Thanks
Good video as usual thank you for your efforts , drone is a good addition.No customer for the horse for the freezer, looks like a passenger in your business?Just joking ,guilty of keeping some horses myself just a drain on profits unless you use them for something all you get is they're shite and company.Thanks for letting us Hang out on Farmer Tyler Ranch,from Wales
That’s right. Truth be told I think Grandpa did it that way because he didn’t want to spend money on grain. Then it actually became a marketing tool, go figure! Thanks Tom!
Our core herd was way too tame, there was about 6 or so cows that you had to push to get them through a chute or narrow gate. Your steers were pretty fast in comparison. Grass fed beef is hard to beat but we used to give each cow a quart of oats per day for the last 2 weeks before butcher... er... I mean processing. Can't use the B word anymore can we.
Yeah I’ve seen where cows are too tame to the point where they are more dangerous because they have no fear of humans. That’s right I screwed up, I meant to say harvest!
Idk if I messed the video where u said you u don't use your horse but if I were you I definitely would have done that the easy way and saddled the horse and done that horse back
Thankfully this incident wasn't too bad and you've got gentle animals, but nothing more aggravating then a few head of high strung cows setting off otherwise completely calm herd. It looked like maybe 3 cows started the domino effect. I think the cow that starts pretty far back, right near a red cow, and runs up to the front veering right, is the worst offender. The frustrating thing is, those girls usually make the best moms (or maybe that's just why they're still around). What's an inconvenience for us humans is high survival instinct for the cow. Also, be honest, you were hoping for a kick from that steer!!! I know you were! That action shot thumbnail of the bull got you your 2nd highest views...
Thanks Greg yeah it only takes one high headed cow to wreck the bunch. And I wasn’t hoping he would kick...but if he did it definitely would have been the thumbnail!

Can you show us what your grass fed beef looks like in a video? Just starting out and id like to see what your grass fed fat looks like... Obviously leaner but im interested.
Those cattle were really fast. That was a little too close for comfort. I'm sure that got your heart racing with just seconds to spare. Having animals is rewarding but it sure keeps you busy.
