In the olden days, we put a note in their mailbox saying " hey, I got your cows". Then they brought over a six pack, and said thanks. That's how it was back then in the '70's.

That slow mo shot of Jenna hugging a cow needs to be made a T-shirt or a poster. That face. Clint must love it.

I can confirm Mikey made it to at least early afternoon on Tuesday. Wife and I stopped to take a pic at the Desperado sign and he was pulling into the gate. Stopped, backed up, and came and talked to us, took a pic with us, and then took one of just me and my wife in front of the sign.

"Desperado Fencing Co., I just pet the babies!" Jenna cracks me up lol. Between roasting Matt and Mikey, and how excited she was over hugging that cute, she's fantastic

I've heard of the Kitten Distribution System, but not the Cow Distribution System.

If you're not going the best route which would be getting a more specific set of springs, I'd go with cutting versus heating. Heating will mess with the hardness of the metal and leave the spring prone to bending/breaking.

"Pheromones" " I know that face" "you like it!" I was dying guys🤣🤣🤣

It's so cute the way Jenna plays with her food.

Never question free beef. Just accept a wonderful and mysterious gift.

Matt saves cows life and in return, cow provides range day's lunch...the circle of life

You were speculating that some farmer/rancher filled in the cave to keep his cattle from falling in… now you’ve gone and opened it back up and have loose cattle showing up.

Really miss Mere, but am also happy that Jenna is in more videos.

So! Matt! You’re a veterinarian, an abandoned mansion repairman, a demolition guy, a first place burnout champion, an abandoned ranch owner, now…..cattle rancher! What can you not do??!!! 😃😃❤️❤️❤️

Bucket training is the answer. Get a big round bale in there as soon as ya can. If they get hungry, they're going through that fence!

Jenna’s cow hug is priceless 😊😊😊

You have to buy Jenna some calf's now!!!! It makes her SÓOOOOOOO HAPPY!!❤

Jenna: "not these kinds of burgers". Cameraman: "well I have bad news for you"..... I lost it 🤣🤣🤣

Jenna’s face lighting up is gold

You fed them, they're yours now. Ranch law. Seriously though, those are some sweet cows someone has to own them. Jenna feeding the calves, I am totally here for that. The white calf is her bestie now.

Cows and especially calves are easily tricked into thinking a gate is closed even if it is a bit open. Can be tricky getting them in by yourself sometimes, good job!

Give the springs some time to settle before cutting or heating. Though I personally prefer cutting. It's really the same either way, the spring is damaged in the end, but I just feel cutting a coil off is less damaging than heating and letting it collapse. As someone who doesn't understand metallurgy I can say with confidence that metallurgy stuff happens. Probably

Quatro need some protien. Maybe set up a feeder by the shop with a good mix of corn and protein and Quatro can become Doce.

We want more CAVES!! 🪨 YAY!! 😅 I’ll definitely be back for the next episode now. lol

I wouldn't get mad at Jenna with the fencing, she was pre-occupied socialising (it's important!) the baby cow... and it is content! She really is the animal whisperer on the ranch. Just don't let her visit a dog sanctuary though. She'll come home with like a million Pitbulls, Malinois, Huskies, Livestock Guardian Dogs and German Shepherds. Actually... let her. That would be dope content. Speaking of dope content, it looks like you got the 3 C's. Cows, caves and cars. I'm down for all three. Can't wait to see what the Desperado Ranch fam post next! I also hope you get to keep the cows :)

From a South African Brahman cattle farmer… that fence mending was horrendous😂, but yes y’all have to start somewhere😅

Jenna is such a great team player. I kinda hope your neighbor didn't loose his cows

Mikeys such a legend, hes been solid.

The joy and excitement on Jenna's face at 15:27 was everything

Jenna is adorable! She just loves those aminals.

Notification from KZfaq for Matt Carriker? Yup, that's an instant watch.

Heating the spring is an old school trick to lower but will ruin the spring steel and it may break. Cutting the spring will shorten but also make it way stiffer (that may be fine for a burnout rig)

Born and raised in Arkansas! Fixed many fences on my grandparents dairy farm. And you might be right about the “bobwire”! 😂😊

Babe wake up! There's a new "offtheranch" video

Maybe try and get a bright collar or something on Quatro to tell the hunters he is a "pet". We have a couple of people around here that have done that

@offtheranch you have a massive algal bloom in your watering hole every thought of dying it blue, like they do for fishing lakes will stop all the algae in its tracks.

Almost every heated spring I saw back in the 80's and 90's mini trucking days ended up snapping. So while not ideal because you're removing the flat/flatter seating portion on the end of the spring, it is still better to cut a spring vs heating one if those are your only two options to lower your vehicle.

Do not torch your springs. Cutting is ok but not perfect. Order the correct HD spring

Leave the front high like that then put a drift angle kit on it with some wheel spacers if needed for tire clearance. You’ll have more control in the burnout pit for sure.

Everyone needs a Mikey in their life. Lol. Good job, Matt getting that baby in the fence without loosing anyone. 👍💯

So glad cuatro is back

That "little calf" would drag you wherever it wanted lol

Basic metallurgy, heating the springs can make them contract but if not don right you may need to re temper the springs or they will be trash, so cutting is better option of those two.

Another vote for cutting over torching. Since those are truck springs, they're probably closer to the heavier spring rate you need, and you don't want to mess that up.

" And we might see you tomorrow." 🤣. Love the resort. Can't wait to see it finished.

Make a small enclosure with a gate connecting to the front of that gate. That ways you can get the loose cattle inside the small one without risking the others

Either they are being snuck on your land by the town or county, they need a free Vet, or they are ghost cows awakened from their cave that's being cleared out! Either way it's Mikey's fault.

4:40 Before you do any spring cutting, might I suggest that you give it a spin with the new springs AND video the run with a high-speed camera for review. You may find that the space you have sitting static isn't the space you have doing a burnout run. You have the tools, and the time investment could well be worth the data.

That slow motion of Jena was freaking awesome. Please put her in front of the camera more. ❤

The gasser look is fine. It'll look more aggressive. And it'll make it less likely for you to break something by smacking it on the ground.

YES MORE CAVES

Matt they make spring compression kits so you don't need to cut the springs. Hope that helps.

I love this channel because you never know what Matt is up to that day and what the entertainment will be.

Hi, I just wanted to say don’t ever stop your videos because they make me laugh and I really enjoy them. Thank you.

Put the right spring on the Ranchstang before you cut anything. Thats gonna level it out and it could be the right height without having to do any cutting. Worth a try.

Matt & crew thanks so much for another great video! You make me laugh out loud! Love it all!

Love the cows, keep them coming, thanks for sharing.

The fact that Matt said "They don't have weapons on their heads" as if a cows head, hoof, entire body isn't a weapon is hysterical!

Just remember, he wont be friendly come the rut....

Its a joy to watch you work with the animals 😊

a local cabin owner near me had the same scenario with a buck. and someone put a "hunter" orange collar on it and it has survived so far, still comes and goes.

18:34 Matt, you are correct. In the Arkansas Ozarks, it's "bobwahr". One word. 😅

Air bags. Can adjust the height for loading & drop for burnouts.I've cut springs, they get real bouncy. Heating will compromise the integrity. Plenty room in the bed for a compressor & small tank. Plus the cool factor.

The longer the video the happier I am Matt and the team u could do 2 hour videos and we will be here to watch it all 😂❤

Maybe that pond that’s a big u shape was a beach at some point. Look for sand tapering into it. Oceanfront ranch!

“A good way to get new hole” 🤣🤣🤙

Never heat springs matt, it takes the structural integrity out of the the springs since they are heat treated already to get the spring shape, always "cut" if you have to shorten them, start with a 1/4 coil and go from there, hope that helps.

This is how "Ruminant Ranch" began!

That’s a nice little bull. Won’t have to big calves on delivery. But you can deliver them anyway, you’re a vet😆. Glad you’re going to the cave again too.

I'd never seen a Longhorn before. Big boys, they are. I finally understand the details of the long cattle drives that are practically characters in their own right in the Lonesome Dove series of books. Respect for oldtimey cowboys.

Jenna is really cool. She totally joins in with whatever is going on.

@4:47 cut the springs Matt, you can match the cut on each spring and only do a half a coil at a time im guessing you will need 1 to 1 1/4 coils cut out. If you heat the springs you cannot match it on each side and you take the integrity of the spring away the bounciness and becomes a sloppy ride in the front for the spring.

As this video dropped with the random cows, I too had random cows in my garden as they broke the fence from their field next to it, luckily, there was another wall and gate so they didn't fully get out :)

The best thing would be to get new springs specifically made for the height you want but if you absolutely cannot do that cutting is better than heating. Neither are ideal but heating will weaken the spring and then you'll have to replace it anyway.

we lived in front of a cow pasture in Alabama as a teen. The babies wanted to play but the momma's and the bull did not. Luckily I could run faster than the mommas, after 1 encounter and the owner warning me, I didn't mess with the bull again. Cows are pretty chill if you scratch them. Dogs are better but cows are great outdoor pets, until it is burger time.

MATT cut off the spring on one end but make it about 1 coil higher than u want it to sit. Then heat up with acetylene torch ONLY 1 full coil on the end you cut and then push it down flat to meet up with the coil below it. Look at a finished spring end to get the idea so you don’t have the one side poking up and have the spring sitting sideways, feel free to contact me if this didn’t make sense

You should be able to find the right length and rate spring pretty easy Matt. There are calculators for it that are really complicated but I'm sure if you got a hold of summit or one of the big suspension companies they could help you out. You'll have to scale the car but there should be plenty of people out there that can help.

i suggest using spring compression clamps instead of heating or cutting. basically theyre the reverse of the spacers you used before and they arent permanent in case you need the full spring extension in the future

Taller tire in the front could make the gap look smaller while keeping good ground clearance

4:30 I am really glad your covering this. I feel like this is a PSA, 3" is way better then 5"

Cutting springs is much better than heating springs and make sure you cut off less than you think you need to because it goes quickly you can always take more off but you can't put it back

Thank u for al the smiles. You do a soul GOOD!!!

You talking to them like they fully understand you is funny and adorable.

I've done both to springs, don't heat springs. You'll take the spring out of the spring. It will keep lowering over time. Cut would be better for long term. Less damage to the metal. The best thing is to buy the right spring.

Anyone else over excited for Matt's videos. Been worried someone may have fell in a hole between indy and now 5 days been a hot minute Matt!

Only Matt can corral a calf and have 4 million people cheering him on let alone interested in the video.. favorite channel by far. ❤

More more more cows!!! I'm from Texas too but still love the cattle in the videos ❤

Great video! The cows are real cool!!

💯 saw the exact moment Jenna reached peak elation when she hugged the baby cow! Luck Jenna!

Hey Matt just a little old 'Stang info. No V6 offered then. Inline about 300 cubes and very weak (had one). If the car came with a six back then it would have 4 lugs on each wheel and smaller brake drums. 5 lugs- V8. Your humble Pirate at your service. 🙂🏴‍☠

Matt didn't know that "If you build it, they will come!"😂😂😂

Off the Ranch Vett Ranch! It's been years since I visit. Glad to see your face again here.

Respect from the UK

Lmao men doin all the work while Jenna's bonding with the cow 😂😂😂

Just cut half a wrap at a time with a cutting disc until you get the close to the height you want. But plan for about an inch of settle once the springs break in.

Laughing throughout the video! What a crew!

Cow's and caves! This channel is awesome!

Easy solution: get a buddy to bring over some panels and set up a cattle chute. Lure her into the chute, close the chute gate behind her, then open the gate to the pasture. She'll only have one way to go, then you can close the pasture gate and remove the chute.

New sub, new channel here. We love Matt and DemoRanch!! Best of KZfaq!! PEW PEW...

I miss mere on the videos 😞😞
