When you pointed to the culprit, I laughed. We now know he'll be up to the task when he's older.

NOW we know why that bull calf was chasing mature cows. He learned his purpose in life, early.

Im impressed by how good the mama is doing being so young herself. She’s a badass.

That was an unusual occurrence, but looks to be a positive outcome. We’ve never had a heifer that young give birth, but it’s looking good at this point. An early start for the baby bull, and that young heifer.😂😂

Coming from a teenage mom….many many years ago…all of those cows were crowding your young mamma, trying to tell her how to be a mom! Haha… I recognized that behavior immediately!

I had the same thing happen a couple years back when the neighbors bull decided to visit my pasture and he managed to breed a young heifer. Same story, she had a smaller calf, which was small but healthy. She did a great job being momma after she figured it out.

Big Boy got busy at a very young age and what a beautiful calf!

Every once an a while Mother Nature loves to show us who’s really boss. You’re handling it well.

Awesome explanation by an experienced cattleman...I am learning so much about breeding cattle, and the 7 day a week schedule of a rancher/farmer. Congrats on your new herd member❤

Farming seems to be a lot of fixing things that are broken, today (or at least recently) things just come together for you and its okay to be happy about it.

So happy you were able to witness things from the beginning. Might possibly have saved the calfs life. Who knows what might have happened with all the other mommas crowding in. Mother nature at her finest. So happy for you!

I think the cows were just as amazed as you were

I've had a few heifers go in to heat at 8 months of age. It's rare but can happen. A good sign of health and fertility.

Congratulations on the surprise 🎉 Another healthy herd member

Mother Nature always seems to have the surprises to keep us on our toes. Congratulations on the new addition.

What an amazing happening. So glad all went well. Cute little calf. Have a great day.

I know it's not an ideal situation but it seems to be working out well for teenage mum and baby.

What a story! Take care and what a cute calf.

Nature finds a way, huh? She's a keeper I'd say.

What a surprise! Great to see a happy ending to this!

Oh WOW! And we got “the rest of the story”, as Paul Harvey would say. Nice! I like getting the whole story all together. Thanks. How cute and beautiful this baby is, and what promises that bull has shown. QUESTION: Being that this baby has been born a bit late will that effect mama’s cycle for next breeding season? This was exciting and fun. I was concerned in the beginning and you didn’t give anything away, but allowed the story to develop naturally. I’m really grateful for your sake that this was a good birth, I know how it effects you and all of us, when a calf isn’t in good shape. What a relief. This was a wonderful true life story. Thank you. 😃 ❤ Hope you and your family have a great rest of your week.

Bovine teen parents. ❤

Glad all turned out well!! It's amazing how spunky the calf was on the first day. Good job!!

I had the same thing happen 4 years ago. 7 month old bull bred an 8 month old heifer. A huge surprise to us as well!

Surprise!! Surprise!! As vigilant as you are, knew you would put the story together! Nature just does what it wants to do!! Good post, Great outcome!!

Glad for this happy ending to a good surprise

Two young ones getting together and making Whoope 😂. Tyler your a great and caring farmer. Blessings ❤

That's how we learn. Now you know what the old timers know. Wean heifers and steers in one pasture and intact bull calves in another.

Well, you know that Bismark Bull Calf is fertile!!!!! Gorgeous little calf! Is it a bull calf or a heifer???

Talk about your great story telling, and desirable outcome. All be it from way out in left feild... A day in the life at FTR. Thank you for figuring out a way to bring us along with what all needed to he done.

What a miracle!! Thanks for taking us along for this Happy Ending!!

I too would like to offer best wishes and every success with this new calf. But in this case I wish you every success with both of its parents as well! Perhaps this new young mother will prove to be a valuable member of your breeding stock. It seems though that not only is your young bull fertile, but that his young male calf may also have good genes. After all, you have been raising this young bull as a future breeding bull because of his pedigree. May I say, “Success to the Future!”

What an amazing mom being as young as she is. She should be a keeper 🙏😇🤞👍

Hi guys and thanks to Farmer Tyler Ranch for sharing the fasinating videos. Hoping everyone is ok and have a bless day❤❤see you all on next Farmer Tyler Ranch 😊hugs and prayers❤❤❤

Very cute baby calf a little darling🤗💕 I'm glad mama was letting her baby nurse. Great video Mr Tyler see ya in the next one. Always a thumbs up 👍🏼 🎉

Congratulations on the new calf well you know the little bull is fertile have a wonderful day

Nice save Tyler Sometimes against all odds (and with a little help from our friends) things just go right You definitely know what to do and when to do it There’s no substitute for experience I enjoy the videos … we all have the same experiences B

Looks like #1 will be a good calving ease, heifer bull. Congratulations.

Hi from ireland we seperate male and females at six months tops in a similar set up, great outcome so nice to see them doing good

You may have the best cow for the future in her. She is doing what she needs to do on raising her calf.

Congratulations on the surprise calf!!

Happy that mom and calf are doing well. Nothing like a surprise to throw everything off.

Congratulations on your "bonus" calf. He's a good looking calf. It was fun watching you wondering what the hell was going on in that pasture. I always look forward to your interesting and informative videos.

So this happened to my first cow, she has been the best mother ever, still feeding her baby even tho it’s a year old😊

Was it a girl or boy calf? such a cute little one! Mother Nature watched over this mamma. She will be a good breeder for you!

I love the way you care for your animals. You are a very kind hearted person.

My absolute favorite farm animal is cows. Thank you so much for sharing. GOD bless you all.

we have had that before always a suprise

You did everything right. Good job. What a blessing to have a surprise calf. Calve on

I’m really happy you are giving the teenagers mishap the protection …. This mother needs a name of strength‼️

TYLER, YOU ARE A HARD WORKER, AND YOU EXPLAIN THINGS SO WELL. TAKE CARE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

That ranks up with one of my favorite stories...good looking out for your cattle!

The baby is so cute, glad all went well with momma and baby.

This video made my heart so happy ❤❤❤

I had a similar thing happen with a 6-month heifer getting bred. I know it doesn't seem possible. Here is the story... In high school a buddy and I decided to each get calf for showing at the county fair with the encouragement of our FFA advisor. We purchased a lot from a local farmer. I was getting the steer and my buddy the heifer. The FFA advisor said there was an additional heifer so I said I would take it. These were about 8 month old calves purchased in late fall. My friend convinced me to show my heifer with his in the breeding heifer class. In July a month ahead of the fair. that heifer dropped a calf. I ended up still taking them to the fair, but now as a cow calf pair. The farmer saw it at the fair and said "I don't burreev (believe) it"! I still use that phrase and pronunciation when something unexpected occurs. The heifer had to be bred by any earlier calved bull that was not cut yet. This farmer never believed that it could happened. He refused to believe that cow and calf were the heifer he had sold me months before. He had never seen anything like it in his 60 years of cattle ranching. He had Red Poll mommas and ran Simmental bulls. The cow seemed to be a little stunted as she ended up having a smaller frame than her peers. She was probably 900lbs with the other cows being around 1200lbs. I kept her for about 5 years and she never had any problems calving or raising calves. All her calves were healthy. In fact I kept that first surprise calf as it was a heifer and she grew to a normal size. My buddy and I kept these 3 cows for about 5 years. The smallest cow that had the early calf was the boss cow of that group even though the other 2 outweighed her by 300lbs.

It will happen. Two years ago we had 3 of 15 get bred early (6-8 months), almost certainly from full age bulls. All three had calves unassisted. It seems to go in streaks- not sure if the year/weather or what. We'll go several years without, and then all of a sudden 2-3 will be bred early like that. We've started trying to get them all a shot of Lutalyse after we separate them to make sure we have minimal surprises.

Thanks for taking us along for this little miracle!!

Great video Tyler I can’t believe that heifer. I had a café young.

Well Tyler you may not have to have #1 fertility checked after all. Congratulations.

So happy everything worked out for momma and baby!

The herd just wanted to say hi and congratulations to new mom and calf ha ha

Wow, a good turn of events. Hope the early pregnancy doesn't stunt her growth to much. I had isolated 20 young heifers for breeding stock replacement and the neighbor moved in a charolais bull that could rival a freight train. It was very bad year......

Enjoyed how you handled things and kept watch on mom & calf.

Solid reasoning on that cow/heifer in that get her penned up and be able to monitor given the circumstances. Awesome vid anyway in herd management

Glad it all turned out well. I have seen jersey heifers start to cycle at seven months- it can happen.

It’s a miracle! I think the positives definitely outweigh the inconveniences of having a calf later in the season! Awesome video!

Isn’t Mother Nature a real trickster? The little one is so cute. You know how “teenagers “are??even though Mona d dad were young it seems to have worked out. ❤

Guess there's always a first time for everything. Well done, glad both have pulled through.

I’m very happy to see such a happy and smooth outcome of this mishap! I recently heard a similar story, but the heifer was even younger. She was like 13 months or so when she was due. The owner had the vet do a c-section, and he said that the heifer would never have been able to birth the calf naturally.

Happy to see all went well, great video.

Wow that's amazing Tyler keep us posted on how he's doing ❤❤❤

Love at first sight! They couldn’t help themselves 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Wow! We have a cattle version of Romeo and Juliette... At least as far as too young lovers sneaking off on their own. Thankfully with someone much wiser and compassionate in the ways of farming, than Shakespeare telling us the story, the outcome will be much brighter.

Glad everything went well Tyler. What a Cutie and Mom is being a good Mother. That was a Questionable moment, but I can Breath easily now. Thank u for sharing. U Rock as Always.

Bodes well for future stock, lol. I enjoy watching you build fence so thanks for rhe the preview, Tyler. Thanks for filming this and sharing it.

Great vid Tyler.

Awesome story there Tyler really cute cats too she's taking their maternal maternal instincts seriously

Congratulations grandpa

Good job Tyler! Good to see a positive outcome!

Glad mother and calf are doing well

Cool stuff. I had a big heifer bred at 4 months, slight assist pull at 13 months old, 70lbs heifer calf and she was a mother, her cow was a 1700lb simmental holstein cross, a surprise but all worked out in the end

Great to see young cow doing great. Fantastic job of taking care of your herd.👍

The pan of the camera on the "guilty" party with your tone of voice was hilarious. 😂😂 😂😂❤

Good to know that young bull is potent.

You're such a good calf/cow Daddy. Keep up the great work.

Hey, we bought a heifer once that calved at 13 months. She is a good mother

Good looking calf. I had a similar deal last year. I usually keep around 10 heifers a year and I wean them as close to 6 months of age as possible. Well 9 months after weaning I was pulling a calf from one that had only been with my heifer bull for around 2 months. After doing the math she was bred on her mom less than a week before I weaned her and was almost exactly 6 months old. Sadly she was bred by my Angus Plus bull and the calf was just too big. Good news is that she delivered a calf last week less than 10 months from when I pulled the dead one. This morning the bull already had her separated and she was standing for him. My wife has named her Fertile Myrtle.

We bought some heifers. One was bred at like 7 months apparently. we got lucky she had Calf at same time as our cows.

I had the same thing happen two years ago. I just couldn’t believe it. Because of that experience, I make sure all my bull calves are castrated sooner and I pull my bulls by July.

I'm so happy to hear that the oops baby is doing so well 💕 !!! 🥰

I had a surprise calf this year too. My Dexter heifer was born March 25, 2022 and gave birth to a bull calf on May 16, 2023. Not even a full 14 months old. I was told it’s not possible, well she has a calf to prove otherwise. She’s been an amazing little Mama ❤. Lorie 😊

First thing I thought about was the additional nutrition yourcows have been getting with the Redman salt blocks. I wonder if that could partially explain the early development of both the heifer and the bull calf.

Never an easy day Tyler farming is a 24/7 work load and you do a great job of it you are a true farmer thank you for sharing blessings

Congratulations! That little bull isn't No. 1 for nothing obviously. Amazing what a bit of charm can do 😅

First time I see you so flabbergasted FTR. What a great ranch story!😊

so cute! precocious heifer, precocious bull, summer baby.

This is the sweetest surprise for sure!❤ Is the baby a heifer or bull? I think it needs a special name. I heard you say "you're a tiny little thing", so I think it's name should be "Tiny"! That can be a good name whether heifer or bull. I thought it was cute how all the cows and calves rushed over to welcome baby to the herd...even though their presence wasn't good at the time! Glad you brought mama and baby to the corral so you could keep an eye in them, and they could bond together. Her breeding with the young bull is a miracle! Who would of thought.

I think you're right about the calves dad

Thanks for sharing farmer tyler ranch I enjoyed the video

Wonderful surprise. Calf is so cute.
