It makes my day when you roll out the hay and then the cows run to eat it! 😊

Looked as if when Callie saw you put in Bellies back end ,Callie thought she'd try it😂. FTR and the Mrs have a great and safe up n coming Thanksgiving 🦃🐖

Trust me, those cattle never drown you out. They are the stars IMO. Loved their audience when you repaired the fence.

Buddy is always a joy to see. I hope you always keep him on the farm.

Buddy!!!!❤❤❤❤ he's such a cutie. And that Rivet is a hunk too. Bellie and those ears of hers are something else.

Tyler, Regarding the fence splice you might want to try a “Western Union” splice. I first unwind the wire up to the first barb on either side of the splice. Then I “Y” the ends and start wrap one wire at a time. It holds real good and very rarely do I ever have to re-splice. As for your issue with distinguishing who is a heifer of a bull, I’ve used different colored tags. White for heifers and green for steers and bulls. Respectfully, James -a fellow cattleman from East Tennessee P.S. Please give Belly and Callie a pat on their heads from my wife and I….

FTR don’t worry, no matter what you are showing us, it never gets old!! So much fun stuff going on as always in today’s video. I always enjoy seeing your parents orchard and watching those calf’s when you were fixing their fence made me laugh. Bellie is such a great joy to watch along with Callie, and seeing her learn is so cute! Great video as usual!!😊

I have been watching for probably over a year now and it never gets old! Thanks for letting us live on the farm without being there. I wish I still had my great grandparents farm, but no one had time to keep it up. 😢 Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Hi FTR, Belli is a great all around companion and her ears are so stinkin cute. Love the videos

Looks like everyone happy and stuffed...but not a good week for one of your Turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!

Pink ear tags for heifers. Blue for steers. Red for bulls. Green for cows. Thank you for ANOTHER great video. DON'T FORGET TO CAP THOSE NEW OIL PIPES YOU PUT UP! WASPS ARE JERKS!

🤣🤣 Great job Cali. I'll take a lift as well

RE: checking your stock tank. Tie an empty milk jug (with lid) to a line with anchor and it will float. If you can see it you know the tank is full. Tag the heifers in the opposite ear.

❤ HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!! ❤ Had to chuckle 🤭 when Cali saw Bellie being lifted in and she wanted it too. She’s such a good girl! Thanks for mentioning the Winter Pasture. I had forgotten when you bring them over there. It sure felt like a full day in this video even though it was only 22 minutes. You have a blessed life. Thanks so much for sharing it. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! To you and the your whole family. Hope you have a wonderful day. Oh, Yeah! I imagine/guess no video this Thursday. We’ll miss it, but you rest (yeah, uh, well I believe you’ll still have chores, lol.) and have a great family day. May the Lord bless you and your family.

Use a syrofoam ball with a fishing weight on one side and a small flag on the other. See the flag? No water needed. Thanks for posting, I watch you daily.

I don't get tired of watching any of ur videos. I enjoy all. Thank u.

mending fences is a constant each year - a saying on our farm here in NZ is "a fence is only a suggestion" and the same cow will jump it everytime and teach the herd

Belly’s going to be so proud the first time she can jump in the side by side on her own 😁 The calves look really good 👍

as always another good one!! Just use different color tags for Heifers and Steers. That's how we did it and it made it easy.

Tyler, Be careful with that back! Watching you flip that tub......lower vertebral structure is like a bearing, eventually it can or will wear out! Don't rush it. I just had injections in spine and SI joint a few days short of a month ago. Over 2 months of bed rest and lumbar traction prior and I may have dodged a bullet as I am back on my feet. Time will tell. Cautiously optomistic.

Puppy sure is growing up. One day very soon she will be able to jump into your truck without help. Thanks for this video with us

I’m not sure who enjoys the bale role, more, us, or the cattle! Never gets old. Easy to see that Buddy is usually first at the table. He’s looking good, especially after having such a rough start.

I sure love those ears on Bellie. Callie looked so cute, wanting you to pick her up. Wishing you and your family a Happy 🍁Thanksgiving!

Oh so cute. Bellie is going to learn lots from calling. I never get tired of watching your videos. I learn so much , just wish I had someone that knows how to do things tgat need to be done. Decatur tx with my herd of 8. My babies...

To tell the steers and heifers apart, tag the steers with a tag each ear for two tags each😊

I can't get enough of watching the "Unrolling Of The Hay Bale", either. 😊😊 Happy Thanksgiving and God bless.

You know, Tyler... Farmers challenge each other on KZfaq in the UK, to various chores like unwrapping haylege bales. You could start one for unrolling round hay bales for distance with just a shove!

Good video. I never get tired of the daily chores. I wish y'all a very Happy Thanksgiving FT. I love this channel and the content that you provide so we can follow along. God bless each of you.

Pretty damn cool. I know that you're busy but maybe a scarecrow or something? Like tinsel or aluminum foil on the fence? On the calf fence? A calf busting through a five wire has to be stopped. Like I'm a farmer. Fantastic video. The editing and camera spare awesome!! No wonder Pete watches you. His moving the "cows" video today was so cool. You both are on the path to success. The one difference is Hilary farms as well. But you sir? Are doing amazing!! As a past Californian I have a little extra interest in seeing how things work out. I SO LOVE that you are willing to try different things while sorta avoiding the comments from the geniuses. Stay safe.

What more could you ask for: Cattle, Dogs, & Cats...

Never get tired of the bale roll.😂😂😂

Callie seems to be very patient with Billie.❤

Bellie is nice looking pup and very smart. Have a nice Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Callie was like ok dad hoist me up. 😂😂 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family.

Steers get an even number in the right ear. Heifers get an odd number in the left ear. Color of The tag identifies the owner. The month of birth is written above the tag number. That makes it easy to tell who's old enough to wean or sell. On the back of the tag I write bull number - cow number and day month and year of birth.

This is how I tell mine apart. One of two ways I've done it. Put the ear tag for steers in the left ear and the heifers in the right ear. The other way is to put a pink ear tag in the heifers

Two sets of tags in different colors, now you can tell at a glance.

Your animals are beautiful! Love watching the cows and Buddy come running for dinner lol rolling out the bail is better then playing in mud! Yes this old lady still likes to splash in a mud puddle lol. Pup is getting so big already but just can't quite jump up an in yet. Thank you so much for bringing us along and brightening your day. ❤️🙏🦃🕶

Tyler, one way to tell the difference between the heifer and steers is ear tag steers in right ear and heifers in the left. Or different color tags.

To help tell the difference between our steers and heifers at a glance, we tag our heifers in the left ear and tag our steers in the right.

She has the greatest ears.

The bail roll never gets old

We color code and input them with h,s, or m. So blue are steers, yellow are heifers, and red are martins.

Hey Tyler, I'd like to wish you and Mrs. FTR and family a very Happy Thanksgiving!!🦃 Bellie sure is growing fast! And she catches on to new things fast. She's a smart little girl!!

Always a pleasure FT! So fun how you enjoy your work and your animals! A great heartwarming vid! God’s blessings!❤❤❤❤❤

What helps me is putting the ear tag for the steers on the right side and the heifers on the left.

Switch the tags heifers on left ear steers on the right. Or 2 different colored tags!

Tyler...you get so much done, I wonder what time do you start your day? You must be an earlier riser. Always enjoy your videos. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Good Afternoon, Tyler and Callie! Checking in on Everyone! Good News! Everything is fine! The Walnut Orchard! Tyler’s Parents Orchard! The Pump! Back at Ranch! Charging the Solar Panel! Fixing a Fence! Dropping the Hay Bale early! Getting the Cows out of the way! Meaning of the Flag! Buddy! Love Buddy! Great Video! Thank-you! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Happy Thanksgiving, Tyler, family, friends and fellow subscribers.

I have watched other ranchers on KZfaq, and they use the placement of the tags for heifer and steer! Right ear, heifer left ear steer!

Always enjoy your videos. Can't wait for "Farmer Tyler Ranch" THE MOVIE. 😃😃

I finally graduated my fence mending from the wire bending method to the use of wire ferrules aka brass cylinders. You slip both ends of the wire through the cylinder from each side, after stretching the fence with the puller. The you use a crimping tool to crimp the ferrule onto the wires. I usually put two crimps on each ferrule to ensure a tight grip. Then release the stretching tool. I have not had a broken fence at the ferrule, to date. the crimpers are an extra expense, as are the ferrules, but they do save me time to balance everything out.

Lots of good stuff today! I doubt Buddy has a butcher date despite his beefy statute😂

Cattle always find the weak spots in fences, must be in their DNA

Love me some buddy, he is my favorite. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family. God bless you'll.

We tag heifers in the left ear and steers in the right. Makes it easy while sorting although it doesn’t help with electronic ID.

TEXAS FENCE stretcher look it up for just snuggin up that fence put a soccer ball in the water tank keep up the good work

I trained my puppy to get in vehicles by first jumping onto the floorboard (where your feet go) then crawling up to the seat (saves wear and tear on the seat). But I didn't realize until he was an old man and he couldn't jump on the seat anymore that pointing to the floorboard and saying go the easy way, that it would save my back lifting a 140-pound rottweiler onto the car seat every time I wanted hamburgers. (His was keto). 💖🌞🌵😷

At first I liked the even/odd number idea for steers/heifers. I was worried that the H would get rubbed off the ear tag, (you'd probably decide steer/heifer before you'd ever be close enough to read the tag) but the only place it would matter would be in the computer. Since adding the H in the computer is so easy and less fussy at tagging time, I'd go with the H system (I'd add the H at the end of the numbers.) 💖🌞🌵😷

My cats aren’t afraid of the dog. They know they have sharper claws. 11:27

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hope you all have Wonderful and Blessed Thanksgiving! ❤

If you can just go H123 as a example for a steer when you put in your numbers if you can.

Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!! GOD IS so good.

Hello Tyler, and thank you for another enjoyable update of “life on the farm”. At around the 20:50 mark, you commented about the need for an easy way to identify the gender of a calf, especially when lots of them are clustered close together. I can think of two possible ways - and there may be more - which involve tags which are fitted to their ears. One possible way would be two use two colours, for example “Blue for boys” and “Pink for girls” (or whatever colours may be available). The other way would involve fitting tags to the right-ear for one gender, and to the left-ear for the other gender. May I make another suggestion? When you repaired the top strand of the barbed wire fence, you mentioned the possibility of building a pipe-fence for at least a short length at that location. If you have some suitably long pieces of pipe available now, I think that it may be practicable to install at least a top-rail to the existing fence, with the pipe just tied to the tops of the existing posts with plain fence-wire. This may not provide great strength to the fence, but it may produce a good visual barrier which could deter the cattle from wanting to cross at that location. It may be beneficial to introduce at least a couple more horizontal strands of barbed wire along that short length of fence. It may also be helpful to use vertical strands of plain wire between the posts, tied to the horizontal barbed wires, to prevent the barbed wires from being spread apart. Wishing you success!

Love Buddy and the dogs

Puncture vines are lethal. We moved to the Fresno area to start an almond farm or as they say there, an almond ranch, and I stopped going around barefoot.😅

I use to put the ear tags , steers in say the right ear and heifers in the left ear . That worked for me for years .

I sure like our weather here in Northern California. Your place looks very good. Thanks for sharing. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving with your family. God bless.

Happy Thanksgiving Tyler & Family. Blessings on you all

No, I'm not tired of you rolling out bales, and watching the cows rush to it.

Your animals all love you just as we do

Tag the left ear on heifers, tag the right ear on steers, or visa versa...or use different color tags.

Good update, nice to see what your chores are at the walnut orchard!

Cali been hanging around the pup to much 😆

I think i mentioned this a few videos ago, but to make it easy, do what other ranchers do, color code the calves, for example, white tag steers red tag heifers/cows

Happy Thanksgiving to all at Farmer Tyler Ranch!!

Man I want one of those Gallagher systems to go with my arrowquip chute. Keep showing and talking about it and I’ll have one hahaha

Even number for bulls/steers, odd for heifers. Or vice versa.

I’ve seen other farms put tags in ears that use One ear heifer opposite ear bull. That may be a solution. Or different color tags. I live your channel! It reminds me of things I watched my dad do on our farm when I was growing up! Love from Hanford , CA

Love the bonnet ears a lot of our shepherds had ear bonnets ..so precious....on the tags I was just going to remark on to letter the tags. S for steers H for heifers ..B for bulls.happy thanks giving to you and your family..

Not tired if seeing the bale unrolling 😊

Ok I’ve watched this video 4 times, I guess that’s enough😂😂 sure do love it Happy Thanksgiving to all of my FTR fam!!

Tag opposite earboys right girls left

For identifying heifers vs steers, I put tags in the right ear for females and left ear for males. I can remember which is which because I am reminded that females are always right.

Good morning tfr We put ear tags on opposite ear for heifers . Just a thought. Love your ranching keep it up.

Love the video! Go get yourself some "gripple" connectors and the tensioner tool to fix your barb wire fence. once you have the gripples on you can just snug up the others to keep each strand tight. Keep up the good work.

Tyler float a lg red toy ball in calf water to see level from outside corral. We made styrofoam sail board with a flag once too worked good.

Tyler, do they sell continuous fence panels there? That would be a good quick fix for that corner. We use them and either lag the clips to wood post or weld to steel post. I built a ton of them when I worked at manufacturing/welding shop

Buddy is ready for freezer camp

You are either the days entertainment or training them to "help fix the fence" 😆🤣

Wha a great video!! You hit many areas and so many educational moments. Happy Thanksgiving to you entire family.

Thank you for taking us with you. Happy Thanksgiving God bless you and the family.

Pink and blue tags….😂….might work! lol

You might want to consider using white tags for heifers and colored tags for the steers.

Looking over the comments. I know you already have a color-coded tag system for steers, heifers, cows. But to integrate that into your Gallagher scale system, I think the odd-even system will solve that and you will know at a glance looking at the data, who is who. Have a great Thanksgiving FTR family.

Farmer tyler ranch I hope you have a great week

Great show. You might try tagging heifers in the right ear and steers in the left or vice versa to easily identify. I do that and it works good and I don't have to buy different tags.

FTR enjoy your content. NEVER boring. Thanks and please continue to post new content. As for your system we use a blue tay for steers in the right ear and another color in the left ear for heifers. Able to see from a distance and seems to work well for us. Not a suggestion but a note to say what works for us. Have a greatThanksgiving and stay safe.
