Cold but fun day being the lead cow
How to be a Ranch HandCows couldn’t figure out how to get to the hay. Boss wanted me to get a Japanese quarter horse and move em over to it. I thought I’d be funner to find Miss Lady Bug (milk cow), give her a few treats, and see if she’d follow me. Plan worked perfectly, and probably took a lot less longer to. Soon everybody was walking single file behind me. Hard to see, but Winston sometimes throws a temper tantrum if he sees me and can come with, lol.31 views -

Checking on a heifer having calving problems (part 2)
How to be a Ranch HandI named him Lucky! Just for reference, my first video riding out to check her was taken around 7 (who knows how long she’d be in labor for). And Lucky wasn’t born till after 11! He was super lucky indeed, but he has a very good mama and is still doing good. The thumbnail picture was taken of them the next morning. I just wanted to keep them in there close to my trailer so I could keep an eye on em for a while. I had both my arms in his mama moving his back feet around as carefully as I could, but I coulda cut her with his hoofs or tore something, so better safe than sorry. Maybe someday I’ll do a video explaining beech position and some of the other calving difficulties / what to do about em.6 views -

My friend Gus Gus, the field mouse
How to be a Ranch HandThis is Gus Gus the field mouse. I first saw him about a month ago (December). I think he hears my ATV come by his pump house when I feed the cattle their grain and comes up for a mid hibernation snack (his eyes always look like their closed to me). I usually see him when it gets a little warmer. But I always leave him a little treat in the same spot.16 views -
Just a beautiful day moving cattle
How to be a Ranch HandMoving Sampson (the lead steer), and his little buddy (lead steer in training), to where the other cattle are today. I like to sing or hum while I’m working. Seems to make my moves a lot calmer.8 views -
