It’s that time of year when the calves must leave their mothers and begin the next phase of their life. Follow along as I separate the calves from the cows and get everybody started on their winter feed ration.

Farmer Tyler, Love how you talk to your cows. If i was a cow, i would want to live on your ranch. Tossing down hay brings back many memories of tosding down hay and straw from the hay mow . Take care Mr., Mrs. And Baby FTR.

Good job successfully weaning the calves. Brings back memories when I was younger growing up on the farm. Your explanations for each process helps those that have never experienced the challenges of this process or those who don't understand why it's done. You have a good looking set of calves to fatten up for market.

You're the best separator of cattle I've ever seen.....I can herd them all...lucky for me it's a small herd...everyone is just going thru the squeeze chute to be separated there for loading...even if we have to back the truck up...in and out...it's still a brute force method of mechanical separation.

Hi from Namibia. We have a device here called a "neusring", directly translates to nose-ring that fits to the nose of the calf to be weaned. As the calf tries to suckle, the spikes on the nose-ring irritate the soft under parts of the cow and she moves away. This discourages the calf from suckling, but the cow is still there, her comforting presence reducing the weaning stress on both the calf and the mother. Hit me up buddy.

Curious as to why you wait until 8.5 months to wean, we typically wean between 4-5 months so that March/April calves can be sold late October/ early November. I’d rather not pay to feed them through the winter. Climate differences maybe (Texas) or different end goals for your calves?
