OLD SCHOOL

[Music] hey we're kicking it back a little bit old school today we had just a little handful of calves that we needed to haul off put in our little calf trap right here another hooked on to a big old 24 foot goose neck figured i'd grab the little open top bumper pull this is uh kind of kicking it back old school right here okay mason jump down here and hold this gate buddy we just had seven calves that we wean branded and castrated the other day we're gonna put them right here with a bunch of other calves that we've hauled in here previously all right little boy okay we'll just put them we'll just put them right here and kind of forget about them for a little while and let them grow up grow some horns and get them back out of here in a couple of months they'll be ready to roll okay mason let's go find something else to do today [Music] [Music] it's been warming up down here on the desert as you can see all of the vegetation behind me has turned brown there's still quite a bit of feed here but uh these cattle will start shipping out of here in a couple of weeks now we did a little spot weighing the other day a little test weighing on some cattle they've gained right at 200 pounds since they've been in here um one of the problems when it starts warming up like this is you start worrying about water and there's a water truck that hauls up and down this road for us every other day and they haul to about seven or eight drinkers um up here on the other end of this pasture that's about a half a mile wide and eight miles long um the water has dried up up there we saw a bunch of cattle in the mud up there which uh they know where these other drinkers are they'll come to them but those those dirt tanks have been providing a little relief for these cattle to get a drink out of but that one's dry we're gonna check the other one that's down here about another five miles from where we're at right now make sure that it still has some water in it so that becomes a problem this time of year with it as being as hot as it is you got to get around and look at all your waters you can think you're okay one day and the next day you're in a crisis so we're just trying to stay ahead of the curve here mason you ready to roll up through there and look at that other water okay everything here is full cattle are content because they're over there laying down we'll go check this other end [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] lift your head up real slow wow ah my little steer is licking mason's boot now he's licking the other boot oh hold your hand out real slow hold your hand out just hold it there um [Music] ah [Music] it's not so much that they need cake it's just i like keeping them cake broke so they'll come when we whistle at them [Applause] [Music] ah [Applause] [Music] there you have it a bunch of cake broke yearlings pretty handy [Music] you
