Will THIS Start A Cattle War? 

You are learning about cattle. We all learn from our mistakes. Sometimes you have to figure out what is best for you.

Thats the way its done folks !!!👏👏👏👏.No skinny jeans or man buns where hurt filming this video.farming is an honest but hard working way of life but the rewards are to numerous to say.Grew up on a dairyfarm in central ny .It was the the best education money can't buy!!!Moved to northern Kentucky in 98 lost my wife in 01.Finished with raising my children all graduated and are hard workers.I retired last april from the city wastewater department only because my arthritis has crippled me and slowed me down.so now i garden and graft fruit trees on my own rootstock and breed my own white and dark cornish. I totally enjoy your content .Besafe and look forward to more enjoyable content. Konrad

Another retired WWPO here. Retired 2 years ago. My wife and I bought a place 3 years ago. Sorry to hear about your loss. Looking forward to raising our cows. Looking to add sheep and eventually pasture raised pigs and chickens. Be safe!

It was so cool watching the cattle just walk to where you wanted them to go. Animals are so smart!

Thank you Chuck and Sandra. Very nice spread, steers, and herd. I really like your methodologies. Always gotta have one “numbskull” in the batch but everyday is a good day on the farm.

My newbies are integrated in the same way. The gentle way you handle and move the cattle and all the animals on your farm is exceptional. Job well done, as always.

You got a nice looking group of steers great video thanks for sharing

That seems like a great way to do the merger.

This is definitely one of the best ways to introduce new cattle into your herd. This is what we try to do anytime new animals are added to our farm.

I was watching a comedy show it's from the 70s or 80s and figured out where you got that saying skinny jeans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey Miss Sandra! Good to see you out. Soaking that foot in comfrey water or Epsom salts?

That's exactly they way we did it. You give the new cows time to settle and get accustomed to the new smells and sounds.

Had a friend that kept a steer and used him as an ambassador for lack of a better word. He said the young bulls ran with him. He sold farm fresh. Looked good, easy always works for me.

That "Bones" is a funny put-together cow. But hey, "Smooth Moove" especially for the new steers. Good on yas!

Hope the Mrs. is doing ok Chuck. I noticed your channel is has grown quite a bit in the last week. Congratulations.

Got home from work turned on RU-vid and found out we were un subscribed from your Chanel. You are in our top 2 that we watch. Found out that RU-vid will un subscribe people at times.. glad I noticed your newest while scrolling through...

When I bring new cows in I keep them in the corral similar to yours for a week or so and I keep square bales so I don’t waste much hay. NOTE: A bucket of feed is worth 2 cattle dogs!!

One of my favorite things, is to hear how farmers call their cows. Everyone is different, but works well for their cattle. When I first married my husband, they would bring in cattle from auction. Your way of putting them together, seemed to work wonderfully . We have since went to a closed herd. So now we only have a new breeding bull that will want to find his standings with the current breeding bull we have.

I remember my childhood when i spent every summer at the farms, i hate flies since

Hey Chuck 👋

I do just like you did in the video. I do it with all new animals on the property I find that everything goes smoothly.

Wow, the flies are bad already.

Its funny how you said you stepped in it. I do it all the time Farmers life, Old could learn some tricks from you about integrating people. Lol 😂 a big hello from Kentucky ❤

WOW the flies are already crazy! Guess these warm winters cause it?

its interesting to see how other countries introduce live stock, in the UK any new or returning stock are separated from any other stock for minimum 6 days although up to 3 weeks is recomended and separeated by at least 3m adistance, maybe this is over precautious but I think the foot and mouth out break still looms in our minds. What do other countries do?

You did it correctly. Slow integration is always better for the animals and the farmer. That's how we've always done it. Even with sheep, goats, and pigs.

You did it the right way

My wife just asked me”why does everyone calll their cattle the same way?”! We had a good laugh! 😅😂

I know this has nothing to do with cows, but I found a couple of your chicken videos and couldn't stop checking out more...your wife is adorable! I subscribed and am looking forward to more! Anyway, how do you prevent rigamortous (I know I spelled that wrong), we processed 2 roosters and had to end up cooking them up for our Great Pyrenees because of rigamortous! We have 7 more we need to process, and I can't figure out what we did wrong. We scalded it, then hand plucked, then gutted it and put in ice bath. They started stiffening up pretty fast after plucking the feathers 😢

It’s the right way if it works for you. Everyone has a way

That's the way my grandfather did it. But he would wait a few days

Moving to another paddock? Ol’ Chuck is trolling Mr Skinny Jeans Farmer today.

Would a bucket of feed help motivate them? I haven't done much with cows other than a milk cow or two but, your method works with goats, pigs and chickens. I learned(the hard way) never turn new animals out into an established group.

If you were working with high-risk October calves who were stressed by long travel and were thoroughly sneezed on at the sale barn, I think you would want to quarantine them. Five friends coming from a local farm which has the same diseases(from previous buys), you should be fine.

Hey Chuck! Have you ever tried or heard anything about the lowline Aberdeen Angus cattle? They’re supposed to be ideal for small acreage like you guys.

Good morning!! I have a chicken question, when moving your chickens, and there is an ant hill in the way, do you need to kill the ants or do the chickens take care of the ants??

Why don't you get them heeler train because they want to work and they will do it for you

I don't wear skinny jeans, so please don't take this question wrong, but was 16 hours long enough to keep separate? Not to cross contaminate any potential disease issues?

Are those skinny jeans cows 😂

Cows are interesting animals. Looks like the fly's are bad already.

It's easyer to move them if you give them cake

Major league reference

👍

The shorter you cut the faster it will grow it is just like when you mow your yard

I’m going to send you a pair of skinny jeans. Will a 36/30 pair fit?

Chuck you got about 15 dogs on your farm that you are feeding everyday, you mean to tell me you ain't got one that can chase a cow up the hill. I'd send every one of them straight to the pound. That's ridiculous brother. 😦🤡
