Bull Day!

i'll make sure you do everything correctly sounds good okay okay but that's my job [Music] today is thursday and tomorrow is all day it's been a long time coming brian and jeff are getting all the bulls up get them out of this pen so it's easier to get them up tomorrow because what happens on bold days they get tested made sure that they are ready to rock and roll once they get out on pastures with all their new girlfriends and then also we have lunch with a lot of our customers that have time tomorrow and so they all come grab their bowls hang out a little bit get some food and it's fun time they're waiting for pellets but that's not what we're here for today fellas let's get up going yep come on up i wouldn't step off that concrete jeff if you missed the last video you might be wondering why i'm not really helping much it was over a week ago i got hurt i was chasing after a calf planted wrong hurt my knee i was on crutches for a while and the last couple days i haven't used the crutches much i've been feeling pretty good i actually got an mri yesterday don't have the results yet on that my knee is feeling a lot better it's definitely feeling weak and a little pain at some angles but you know i've had two previous surgeries so i wanted to get that mri done making sure that i don't hurt something worse that's kind of update on that i'm feeling pretty good i've been walking decent been helping out here and there today was actually the first day that i helped with chores again pushing the clutch on the tractor went decent just waiting on the mri results hopefully not having to have surgery maybe just some physical therapy or something i guess we'll find out tomorrow starting at 9am is when the vet's showing up we're going to start testing the bulls we'll have the hydraulic shoot running customers will start showing up around lunch time they eat and then load out i know there's a handful that are coming on saturday and just some that can't make it tomorrow this video will include some stuff that i'm sure many of you have never seen before never even thought of so thanks for popping by i hope you enjoyed today's video and thanks for hanging with us you guys did pretty good but next time you could probably pick up the pace a little i think i might have to call it a deal that's about us i ain't gonna run unless i'm getting chased okay they actually that was probably the best has ever had worked do you think it worked better because coal isn't out there absolutely yeah because coal liked to push and uh yeah he's running ahead and screwing everything up and yeah we got our own fish that's just mean and we just had actually i just had my 10th calf out of my heifers opening up the last box spent part of the day cleaning up didn't think our guests would like the sink so we cleaned that up gave the old toilet uh did you clean the stool too no i told you to clean this too because you know i'm so busy yeah you didn't clean it i saw you poured stuff in there so i guess that's okay okay i'll go i poured the stuff i'll go tag your calf and then i'll clean the stool okay sounds good what is it it's a heifer okay so someone asked the other day why are there some with orange tags out here those ones are just mine there's 12 heifers out here that are mine looks like a nice cat hey what the heck think you're special just get to hang out in the lawn i'll go under that gate please do it oh darn kids all right so it's friday it is officially bold day i'm sure dad slept a good hour and a half he uh he stresses over this stuff and you know some something that can really suck is if a sold bowl doesn't test well today when the vet's here and then we gotta scramble and see if the customer would like a different bowl or maybe there's nothing that he likes anymore and that just kind of ruins the buyer's day and it ruins dad's day but it's just kind of part of the game that'll be rolling up we'll get the shoot ready start uh start testing some bolts you guys ready get your game faces on and dad is feeding with the 75 20 today because we're actually selling some more hay so the hay buyer wanted to use the other tractor with the double bale spear on front so we had to bring that to the south farm yesterday these calves they do not understand the concept of fences yeah that one ain't good buddy you're small but you're not that small oh my atlanta it's in there pretty good [Applause] hopefully he doesn't go two rows down and does the same thing hopefully it just goes out and swings around and it's out the gate and it's ran right by this one looks like mom came to help come on cleve suck at did you sleep sometimes sometimes live it up now ellie cause you're gonna have to be in the garage like the rest of the day barking at all the trailers gotten asked quite a few times why do we have a big thing of chairs in the back and it's basically for days like this graduations granted on the last kid and i graduated that's about it that's that's why we have all those chairs actually our church hi ellie our church that i grew up on my dad grew up on it closed five six years ago and so they were selling a bunch this stuff in there and so we knew we could use some chairs so we bought the chairs that were in the old church so that's why we have all these chairs today is the 23rd year of bowl day 25th 25th i thought you started 97. i did but when you count 97 and 20 21 it's 25 years of selling goals but i'm 23. what do you what i'm going to say i was born in 97 90. i saw those in 97. you weren't one until 98. so i was just curious you know obviously i wasn't there or yeah i wasn't there but you know how did it go did you have a lot of bowls left did you maybe you heard was smaller and you know you you said i think maybe even your dad was like are you sure you want to try that oh he was more negative than that he was like do you really think you can sell holes so that was my incentive thank you dad for you know challenging me i don't know if he did it on purpose or not but uh i think the first year i saved like 26 or 28 bulls i bet you for 15 years people would ask me what do you do with the ones you don't sell and i said i don't know it hasn't happened yet so but every year you think uh it's a little slow or whatever but we'll get them sold there's a guy coming today his name is tim helling he lives south of mount vernon and in 1997 he was the very first guy to come and buy a bull from me and he's still buying bulls from me and i can remember because his son was actually one of your basketball coaches i can remember when his son came along and he was like 8 or 10 years old now he's 30 you know 35 i don't know some of these guys been good long-time customers and we've got some new customers i appreciate all of them we used to clear off the bench and put food there but that just became too much stuff so now we just set a table next to the bench yeah in a couple of years we'll put a table in front of the thing we're having stroopwafels today i don't know if you guys knew that a dutch fella is coming brainstorm yeah so that's a treat all because of that one fella that stopped on the farm and brought gave us some stroop waffles from rock valley yeah from rock valley gerald i think gerald that sounds i hope i'm right yep but thanks for the stroopwafels and just expanding our whole world now our horizons have broadened that's all i got to say about that that's late all right make it snappy different brian gonna get them all up i'm gonna take a little time for the vet to get set up sure there's a crew about three of them yeah jeff if you didn't notice our little shade fell down yeah was that last year during bowl testing when we put that up oh my god it was warm and we're we're pretty lucky it's about 50 degrees today these bowls can get pretty no they get warm and then they kind of get upset called the meat sweats you too yeah yeah meat sweats you can also get angry but pretty nice day out of the way so they collect a sample and look for mobility just a good uh quality you know living uh sample i guess is what i'm gonna call it just to make sure that they're gonna do what they need to do when they get out in the past he's good so not every single bowl right now is sold but each one will get tested because there are people that buy volts later in the year or they have some trouble in the pasture so they want to pick one up later on so we get them all done right away and then actually a couple people have already called like hey you want to pick out another one some people decided they'd want two instead of one or three instead of two one testicle okay dad 511 he's got one testicle okay are you going to ride the lightning today no no no no i don't right now i'm liking the disposition again this year it's pretty good last year yeah this year it's going pretty good too we're getting enough to get them up there's one kind of circling out there i saw him seems like those ones that are always like kind of high-headed they look like those bowls that they always put in the ring with the toro you know they're like kind of slim towards the back i don't want any of those i need to treat him too [Music] they have a vestibulitis which is an inflammation infection of the accessory glands so it's from being muddy and riding each other and they get an infection and so there's pus i mean it's literally possible [Music] that's a pretty big old guy whoa buddy wait there's one in every crowd hey it's the fawns right there supposed to get your average picnic got a bad attitude there he is jeff that one's yours keep going keep going yes i wish they're all like that slow and friendly slow and friendly yeah like me look at that dad the stroopwafels just arrived mr leroy is it a good batch of stroopwafels today it is the best stroopwafels that are fresh they will be good good don't miss them i'm sure a lot of people are upset that they're not yeah well the one and only sunny farms is where you'll get them today other shoots growing a crap in it at least it's somewhat useful banana a couple hours yeah it's 11 13. we're moving just fine got a handful left a couple handfuls so 45 minutes we'll be done [Music] so here's the three amigos that decided a few years back that we were gonna run about how many cows on the reservation a couple hundred all morning yeah and uh we're still standing here we're still standing yeah yeah need kettle advice don't come to us or whatever we say do the opposite you'll be better off just keep calling us the three musketeers that one took extra time because he was looking at you the whole time [Music] you know i by feeding community ryan i just want you to know that the other day when you were here that dakota land gal showed up and and she showed up again day before yesterday and i told her i wasn't buying feed from her but i did get talked to get her talked in to come to church really in two weeks when you're preaching something [Laughter] no almost like a reunion for me sometimes you know all these old friends coming to my wholesale some are just coming to have lunch and visit some are buying bulls and some have bought goals from me for as long as i've been doing it a lot of my family is going to be here brother greg's going to come over and yeah i'm just counting down the bulls to the stroke walls yeah yeah if i disappear you know where i'll be i got a nice hand warmer here there's the last one one more years ago a guy named tom martinez used to come help seaman test bulls and it wasn't the ground was froze that day and there was frozen chunks and he was carrying the vial of semen back to the that telescope they use and he hit he stepped on one of those frozen chunks and a single drop of semen flew up in there and it landed right on his lip and he says i don't care for the manner in which that was ingested into my system and i said i can think of a lot that's all i gotta say about as they say that's the one we've been looking for and we are done how's that stroopwafel which to die for look at that caramel on that thing huh it's quality stroopwaft waffle it's a home run [Music] these are a tent yeah they are yeah thanks joy yeah gonna be a few trailers around here another one pulling in i don't know if you know this or not tim but um in 1997 you were my very first bull customer no way and you're in your boy who's now what thirty thirty yeah that was about well that was 21 years ago so he was 14 i guess he's calling you anyway yes you were my first ever full customer and it's been 21 years and you're still still at it well i'll be doing it yet well i'd sure appreciate how you've stuck with me though have you had good luck with the bulls yeah yeah we just jinxed it but tim got two balls today so two for one today then no no you can just make that to me [Music] isn't all day fun i hope you're enjoying today's video that was a nice trailer i like that trailer that'll be good most days he is put her in the shop hey how did you get out come on let's go in and is that meant to be all no leave the food alone and get a bellyache if you eat all that dad went to grab something in the house open the garage door ellie comes flying out oh not the stroop waffles you just run around looking at every new person barking at him once going to the next person barking at him oh bushel left of stroopwafels so dad and i are excited about that i'll say a thank you to leroy for bringing all the food it's very good thank you leroy from professional alliance so jeff one time we were loading out bolts we put it in there and it for some reason made it so the trailer settled and so it was touching this frame and i couldn't get the door shut and so i looked up and i was just staring at the bowl and i had to like hop up here my arms were like down pushing this off and i was basically running across the back of this bowl i'm glad i was on top of it did i ever tell you the time did i ever tell you the time that i took your your bull and my bull both in mitchell to get tested yeah i have a little trailer and a little pick up on the first bowl that went in there pushed my pickup and trailer far enough over the second one jumped out and ran around the livestock oh my gosh yeah and that's all you got to say about that all right last bowl for the day i've been a pretty good day well there it is the sunny frames bowl day got a few more guys coming after work they got to work till five we got scoop waffles for a good two days right there she wants something so bad what was that he said a lot of comments asking if ellie's gonna have puppies i think she should have been having them by now so we don't think she got bread she didn't get fat or anything uh so it's kind of a bummer but i guess we didn't need 10 of her running around 10 little alleys running around would have been fun though this is your fault she looks so sad getting ready for hang season hay yards are still dang near full even though the feed lots are full feedlots are full yards are full we just had a nice last couple years you know it could turn dry and then we'll be hurting again our hey guy came in took three semi loads not complaining about the xsa but we also don't want it to uh just go bad that doesn't help anybody tm hey company out of canada south dakota they have bought a lot of hay from us the last couple years i don't think we got too much else going on i hope you enjoyed the video i want to say thanks to brad bearing for helping sort critters that handsome man with the cowboy hat on helped a lot and jeff thanks for doing all you do sorting a bunch of critters and walking around the mud some of these bulls are sold but we do have bulls left so if you guys are looking for a bowl or if you have something that goes wrong in the pasture early on in the season sure can send a message to dad on instagram asking about a poll we can still hook you up with one thanks for watching thanks for subscribing i gotta go i can hear a bag of stroopwafels calling my name we'll see you next time have a good one [Music] mom would
