Answer to a Ranchers Prayers
Рет қаралды 17,645
2 жыл бұрынMy name is Carson Sleep, I’m 23 years old and am a 6th generation rancher on the Sleep Ranch.
Our ranch is located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where my family settled and started ranching in 1883.
I work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, and my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town. We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!
We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.
To God be the Glory

Hi Carson, so glad that you got your much needed moisture with snow and rain. It is always good watching the herding of cattle on horseback. Horses are such majestic animals and it is good they can be used on the ranch to help with herding. Good to see Trump doing so well and doing his job. It didn't take long for Dutch to warmup to you.

At 16:42 Rosie's eyes are big and looks like she is saying ME TOO. Very glad you got some moisture, many farmers are still dry. January to May we can only burn if the ground is snow covered and need a permit so they know who is doing it (no kids) and when you are burning. Glad your pen only had a little damage. Hope school is going well and you all stay safe and healthy. I have a kid graduating this year and I am very happy.

Clear about 20acres of land of mostly poplar. the following year in December I started to burn all the piles.Was finished early February.It burned underground until mid April and came up and started a swampy area on fire and was lucky to get it stopped just before it headed into the neighbors fields. That was a terrifying afternoon.

Just found your channel today. I've not prayed specifically for your area to date, however I have been praying for years for eastern Colorado because I have an Instagram "friend" that has shared about their need for moisture. Then last fall we did a crazy long road trip with our camper. When we crossed the Mississippi and went as far north at Nebraska, west to Moab, and south as far as Amarillo...we saw 1st hand the lakes and rivers that were obviously suffering from drought. So, now my prayers go north to the beautiful badlands where I did get to visit back in 1994. Jesus, please bring the rain.

Spring snow is great moisture and poor man's fertilizer everything helps. planting is just getting started here in Wisconsin everything is behind it's been wet and cold.
